PILOTS! ✈️

We have already had a great amount of pilots book into all x3 of our shows this year. If you are intending to fly at any of our shows and haven’t yet done so, please don’t forget to book in online ASAP.

This not only provides you with your tickets to get in, but also registers which models you are intending to fly in our system… so that our flightline director can work on producing a show schedule for slots and we (the fun social media team 😉) know what is coming to help share that info out to our visitors! 🙌🏻

If you are new to the LMA or need a refresher, it’s a very simple process:

1. Login to your member profile on our website from the members area
2. Click on “Events” on the sub-menu which appears
3. There you will see upcoming fly-ins and shows, where you click the “Book” button
4. Enter your information as required
5. Select which of your models you are bringing
6. Click confirm attendance

If you have already booked and want to check which models you booked in or change them, go to the “your events” page. Here you can see the shows you have booked, the models selected and the option to generate your show tickets/ passes. You can then click the “Edit” button to adjust your details or models and then re-confirm attendance.

If you need to add models to your profile or none are showing to select, navigate to the “your models” tab and click “add new model” where you can add as much info about your model as you like & even upload a picture. Once added here, they will show for selection in your show booking page.

Any questions, feel free to drop us an email or message the page!

We can’t wait to see the many stunning models taking to the skys this summer 😎✈️

Our chairman Andy Johnson has been in touch to send over some pics & words as he returns from his modelling tour of the UK 😂

“Just home from 10 brilliant days of LMA fly-ins. First we had our Buckminster weekend that was a great success (big thankyou to John Greenfield for his work running the event).
Then on to our regular 1 day at Elvington on the wednesday before traveling to Longhorsley for a brilliant 5 days!
My only slight hiccup was a blowout on my trailer on the M6 on my way home.”

Great commitment to get along to all 3 Andy! Lets hope the trailer didn’t cause too much delay or damage and all is back on track ready for the next one 🙌🏻

Check out our website for more upcoming member fly-ins or our public shows (which are coming round very quickly 👀).
