Re: Close encounters of the Bird Kind
If I'm not mistaken there was a Notam published somewhere in the late 1990's / early 2000's that prohibits any GA flying in the area of the vulture colony near Harties. The notam was the result of a request / motivation by Dr Gerhard Verdoorn to CAA. Even if there is no Notam, it is a good idea to a...
