OK, I thought I’d bring you those which were not previously posted as part of my euroga trip reports.

BTW, what is interesting is that when you look through your photos, you often come to the conclusion that the greatest photos are usually not those with the most spectacular places or so, but rather those with the best light, the best ambience or merely with the nicest memories…

Anyway, here we go.

1. Bimbles out of Mannheim (EDFM):

Mannheim city in beautiful light

Lakes south of Mannheim

The Pfälzer Wald near Bad Dürkheim, in a nice evening light

The Rhine, south of Mannheim, just before sunset

2. Bimbles out of Egelsbach (EDFE):

Frankfurt city

Koblenz in not-so-perfect VFR conditions. Great photo, though.

My steed in a perfect light

Finding my way through beautiful cloud formations

The new and old Kassel airports, both in one view

Beautiful afternoon light at Egelsbach airport

On final at Bad Sobernheim (EDRS), which is famous for its 30-degree dogleg halfway down the runway

Skimming the clouds tops on an afternoon IFR flight

3. From my flight through Belgium, Northern France and the Southeast of England:

Leaving the murk behind, crossing the Mosel river

Beautiful forests in Southern Belgium (on final at Cerfontaine)

An impressive quarry near Tournai

Some impressive visibility, somwhere between Kortrijk and Calais:

Mid-channel. I love that matt sunlight over the water.

Right over the cliffs of Dover

I love those rape fields we have every late spring. This is between L2K and Paris

Overflying the famous factory where many of the aircraft that give us so much pleasure have been built (Reims)

I just liked this shot:

Crossing the Pfälzer Wald, west to east

4. From my flight to Greece

Dubrovnik airport and the village of Cavtat

Skiathos

The “three fingers” of Chalkidiki peninsula

5. Miscellaneous

Co-piloting a friend’s Silver Eagle

Alexis will recall this one… After landing at Mannheim. The smoke came from a factory that had caught fire in the morning.

A very nice night shot of N4ZY at Lviv, Ukraine

All the best for the new year!

Mainz (EDFZ) & Egelsbach (EDFE), Germany

Of course I remember it … first, from the air, we feared an airplane had crashed… later at home watching TV I learned that a styroformam storage or similar had caught fire!

20 minutes before Split you cross this impressive mountain range!
