Every month the magazine contains vouchers for featured airfields, normally four per month, which we try to dot around the UK to encourage pilots to visit different airfields.		Febrary 2005 FOUR Free landing fees! Yes! We give you the chance to land for free at four airfields this month. Just hand over your voucher on arrival and take advantage of this great offer!
The vouchers are valid for the stipulated period only. You are allowed only one landing per voucher, no jets or turbine twins, and the vouchers are not valid at an aircraft's home airfield.
