X-Atlantic

Well, flying in San Francisco is clearly something else. Easy but busy. A beautiful round-trip along the Bay-Area is enjoyable - but also quit an excercise for radio communications. If you think Kassel can be busy with all the Microlights in the traffic pattern and Parachuters ... welcome than to the real world in Class B airspace and an incredible amount of iron in the air.

I do miss german radio communications and also Lola´s performance. Those pictures were made from a Cessna C172.

True colors

These pictures were made on our last trip in August. Since Lola has a break now and can rest a bit while Annelies and I are flying in the States ... but are the colors not reminding of the "stars and stripes" flag of the U.S? :-)

Girls, Girls...

Captain Joerg is getting distracted here. Girls asking him to fly to France, Denmark...

Nonono... this weekend, Captain Joerg, we'll fly Lola to .. well, you´ll see! :-) . And if I promise now to all readers of this blog we'll get back with wonderfull pictures, then... it's clear where we start travelling to, no?

So, France.

In the last days we asked our readers of where they want pictures from ... 38% decides for France. Unfortunatelly we missed the trip to Greetje in Avignon, but I am sure Annelies will come up with some extraodinary travel plans :-))

So, Greetje, do you join than? :-)

Pilot Timo

We´re taking off to our smallest crew member in Eisenach, who starts his very first school day today and invited us to a party. The weather wasn´t perfect, but flying from Kassel to Eisenach only takes us 20 minutes.

Lola´s engines really run smoothly now, and that becomes also Joerg´s "standard phrase" for the next two days ;-) - In other words, I have heard this a looooot!

But he is right, Lola flies smoothly to Eisenach, engines sounding like one, lands between helicopters dancing around in a competition and parachute jumpers hanging around in the airport sky without getting in troubles - what probably also has to do with Captain Joerg´s skills...

We´re welcomed warmly at the airport by papa and mama Lamprecht who inspect Lola -for the first time- in and out. Approved! But when they´ll fly along stays an unanswered question...
