Some pictures remembering summer vacation.. Leros LGLE approach from northside

LILB, Italy

Koper, after takeoff from LJPZ Portoroz this summer:

The beach and dune of Bolonia, Cádiz, Southern Spain:

EDDW, Germany

Finally, after many weeks of bad weather, I finally got back in the air for once. I took some pictures over Chasseral and the three lakes area in Switzerland. The sunset picture was taken last fall, I wish I would’ve flown until the end of civil twilight – the colors were breathtaking.



Meeting a friend on Sunday morning

Happy only when flying
Sabaudia airstrip LISB, Italy

@ArcticChiller, your C175 moves along very nicely… 136 mph or 118 kts IAS at 6,500 ft. The tachometer redline indicates it has a non-stock engine… maybe a Continental IO-360? Nice plane regardless.

The Skylark has always been our family van, it’s actually my fathers plane. ;-)
It has a Franklin engine. Plus, we recently installed wing extensions… so yesterday I was cruise climbing at 100mph and 1’000ft/min.

Great. 220 HP makes a C175 go along nicely, it appears! I remember flying in the back seat of an old Stinson with one of those as a 13 year old boy, and noticing the Frankln was very smooth.

Yesterday flying around the Oxford area in a black and gold PA28.

METARs for Oxford, Birmingham and Luton were reading marginal VMC with visibility of 4500m or so, but once in the air it was fine. I think this was a case of morning radiation fog. You can see the mist on the ground. Very smooth air, all in all a great morning for flying!

My first flight with doors open yesterday. This was the day I regretted the most not to take my (dusty) SLR and the long zoom, as the moon was really beautiful.
