Hotel Apoksiomen definitely doesn’t work. I just passed by and it’s closed without any notice or sign that it would be open any time soon.
It was a nice dinner with the crews of the 3 planes who finally made it. It was great to meet you (again).

That picture is magnificent! Makes me wanna jump right in!
Total number of aircrafts yesterday on LDLO apron was 68 – absolute record since airport was opened 1986.
68 movements, or 68 parked concurrently?
I am sure EuroGA has played a big part in putting these islands on the GA map

68 parked concurrently at peak. They were considering issuing NOTAM on no available parking space.
Number of operations was even higher because some left when I arrived, their regular taxi had few operations and there were some panoramic flights.

Definitely.
For once I don’t regret having cancelled a trip. I would not have got back today, or anytime soon this week
Lots of IMC with tops way too high, and TS activity embedded within. And too widespread to fly around it.
Funnily enough it was bad wx on the last one too – May 2014 – when the return flight was in IMC from the start of the Alps all the way to nearly Shoreham. But I knew there was no convective wx in it. We flew across Germany and Belgium etc in IMC and rain, but the temp was just above 0C.
I will try LDLO again the weekend of the 15th June. So if anyone wants to have a go…
Nice
I will try LDLO 15th June. Currently the wx looks ok.
