Seven aircraft visiting from Germany landed on the Island of #Skye as part of an organised trip arranged by Aero International - a monthly magazine for civil aviation based in Germany.
The trip organiser Thomas Borchert said: “The visit to Skye was a major highlight of our tour through Scotland. The scenery is spectacular, as is the friendliness of the people. For private pilots, beautiful but remote locations like Skye and other parts of the Highlands are of special interes...t if they can be easily accessed via an airfield.”
The aircraft types were Cessna 172, Piper Warrior, Piper Arrow, Cirrus SR22T, Cessna 210, Piper Seneca, and Quest Kodiak. The Quest Kodiak was the heaviest aircraft at just over 3 tonnes.
The pilots and passengers were taken to their hotel by local taxi operators and then departed mid-morning the next day.
Chair of the Isle of Skye and Raasay Committee Councillor John Gordon added: “It is great to see private aircraft using the superb asset that we have on the Isle of Skye. The mix of aircraft that came on Friday shows that the airfield is capable of handling general aviation users from beyond Scotland.”

From the 20th August a new bus timetable will be in operation between Fort William and Kinlochleven.
This service – the N44 - will operate a 2 hourly service with some timing adjustments made to the current timetable. The service will be operated by Shiel Buses under contract to The Highland Council with some journeys being undertaken on a commercial basis by the local company.
Regrettably, due to factors out of the control of Shiel Buses and The Highland Council, the produ...ction of bus stop notices has been delayed and these will not be in place for up to a week following the commencement of the service.
Shiel Buses will be installing the their own production of the N44 time table at appropriate bus stops for the service. The timetable is also available from this link https://www.highland.gov.uk/…/f…/1953 6/copy_of_bus_timetable
