There is no way to make a trip through Italy without stopping in Parma and get some real ham, we thought...So, before leaving home we made a stop on the PPR airport of Parma.
Taking off in Salerno Falconara was not so easy. Our girl, who just got some new spark plugs, shivered and coughed roughly after take off. We lost, almost immediatly, some cylinder values of the Engine Monotoring System and decided to return. No risks, with a flight over the Alps coming up the next day.
Aiaiaiai...Returning to Fernando, an extreme nice and technically gifted person of the Aeroclub, who thought us Lola had just some water and dirt in the fuel system, we got also spotted by...the inspectors of civil aviation.
"You have problem, sir?"
"No, we don't. We just wanted to have some values checked before flying over the Alps."
"If you don't have a problem, we will need a copy of the technical log and some signed papers you do not have a problem. If you do have a problem, we need a copy of your technical log and some signed papers that you do not have a problem anymore..."
So...Joerg needed a blond co-pilot to get out of this one ;-)
And off we took again - to Parma, and to eat some ham by our evening dinner. There was a lot of thermics in the air, so our girl danced a lot with us...The cha-cha, the tango and the merengue. We got shaked around...
Well, we just knew when we called her Lola (the show girl of Barry Manilow ;-)
