Thanks. In fact, Mainz EDFZ is still open without restrictions (whereas Egelsbach EDFE now has instated some UK-style PPR arrangement which is deterring a lot of people).
For those who have missed out on previous editions, I have compiled all other links with my previous airborne photos of Frankfurt…
Guys, feel free to compile your photos, or write up some trip of last year. We all can currently use some sort of exposure to flying these days.
Really nice Bosco, keep flying. Us grounded here need them!
I feel envy for those flights! Well done! All flights are banned in the Balearic Islands unless explicitly approved. Positioning flights (ie zero pax) are however allowed, but I am having a hard time convincing the local police that a solo flight from Son Bonet to another local airfield, immediately followed by a reciprocal flight fall within the definition of positioning flight. Any helpers with that?
After all I would only be flying the damned virus back to the same place where it left a while before, so no contribution to the spread!

What’s that stuff coming out from the plane’s right wing though?
You mean on the leading edge? Looks like a bug-filter for the cabin vent. Our 177 had it inside the ducting by OEM design, but am unsure about the 172.
Beautiful trip, and very rare and beautiful photos !
Wonderful pictures, once again well done!
Very nice photos!
It’s a bit like the volcanic ash crisis. I remember flying along the Gatwick runway at 500ft, though I don’t remember what plane it was (not mine).
Unfortunately now more or less banned according to a new NOTAM severely restricting VFR at all major airports in Germany, stating (amongst other bad stuff) that clearances into CTR’s can only be expected for actual landings at that airport.
More and more GA airfields are closing as well, and some German state’s curfews can be (and sometimes are) interpreted in a way that prohibits private flights completely.
Many thanks for the thread and posting the pics. Great to see someone with a little imagination taking advantage of a situation and opportunity that seldom comes along.
I recall that Zurich airport had a lot of touch and go traffic too during the Iceland volcano European commercial traffic grounding.
Nice
