GA is said to be booming in the US. Good for them !
It’s interesting to see how many of us managed to sneak in some pretty amazing trips.
I did two to Croatia, just before that option got “quarantined”. @Terbang did a stunning trip to Sicily although from Germany that wasn’t a problem. Others also managed to “get out”.
And from talking to a doctor today, he reported that for £175/person he got his family virus tested to meet a requirement for airline travel to some countries outside Europe. So that may be a way to sidestep the UK quarantine requirement soon. Not worth doing for a day trip to Le Touquet though!
I just returned from a 10-day visit to LIRJ Elba (coming from Switzerland) and it was totally non-problematic and very well frequented during the weekend.
Arriving on a Saturday around noon, the GA parking section was nearly full, with probably 20+ SEP already parked and room for perhaps 5-8 more. Cost for a C172 for a 10-day stay (Sat-Mon) was €33 + €119 parking, which isn’t unreasonable. Of course, there is the exorbitant fuel price of €3.18. Considered tanking at Bastia, but the Bastia handling charges and hassle may well have negated the fuel savings and in any case Corona developments in France killed that idea. :-(
The Pont du Garde is still there and apparently hasn‘t suffered from the virus too much 
Yesterday, a nice English beach for folk who fly:
and another English beach, for folk who don’t:

Could you make less epic videos for those who never got to Venice terbang ?
Just kidding, great pictures and always glad to see the Terbang Airlines top notch crew in their top notch airplane
Nice! Smooth grass I guess?
It’s OK, but there are runways that are in better shape.
Nice scenic approach, only saw EuroGA flyout videos with the approach from the other side !
Good to know 252 can make that grass, no need for me to carry spare M20J prop
I don’t know why they wanted us to use 05. This way we had to overfly the town and even had a little tailwind. We usually avoid grass fields but Lido is certainly worth an exception
