  • How you can help us!

    Hi

    With Flying Legends getting ever closer so is the excitement. The workload is getting greater as well.

    We would really love to answer all the emails and phone calls about TFC aircraft, new , old and rumoured. The truth is we just don’t have the time to reply to all these enquiries and work on aeroplanes.

    As soon as we can announce news we will do, as we always have in the past. Thanks for helping us on this one – it really does help getting the work done.
