Accommodation booked, plane ready, arriving on Friday; we should think about dinner location.
Happy guys! I’ve been in Lubjana and around recently and wearher is now great in the region after a rough 2 weeks of rain and low ifr. Enjoy and send great picture!
I could not fly back as planned today, due to lots of bad wx on the route.
So I flew to Montpellier LFMT, and missed their crazy 3 day PN notam for parking, so got a stroppy email in reply to one I sent them as a courtesy this morning. Another French airport trying hard to destroy its business, presumably because it gets plenty of airliners.
Flying home tomorrow morning.
It was a really super meetup. I will post more pics when I get home and sorted.
Indeed it was. Thank you, all.
On the way back we got “climb FL120, IFR starts at 4000” from Pula and then not even a “cleared to blah” just “radar contact, continue” all the way home. And a very bumpy (due to temperature) ILS to 25 at EPKK to keep the rolling currency rolling. Wholeheartedly recommended, will do again.

When I was there in July it made sense because the F apron was nearly full. Someone even took the spot they promised to me and I was told to just take the one next to it.
I can understand that they want PPR because of parking. What I can’t understand is how it helps to have it three days before.
If you don’t get parking you know enough in advance to come up with an alternate plan for yourself?
