SFO at night

Agreed. San Francisco is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Great living here with it's vineyards, beaches, victorian houses and buzzing nightlife. Time for us to get a bird's perspective on that ... and follow the night silhouette around the bay from a C182 out of Livermoore.

The freedom of flying in the US versus in Europe is at it's most when flying at night. In the US you need an airplane and an airport. That's it, have fun and a save tripIn Germany you need an airplane, an airport a lawyer to walk you through the regulations, a notary since you will have to sell your house prior to your take off - otherwise you can't afford the landing fees - and many more things like dozens of phone calls, permission etc.

So, anyway, a nice 2h flight in smooth air ... back at 11pm and zero landing-fee!!

Back to the roots

For fun and training dead reckoning skills,
we fly with a small Microlight (DMSAC) again to Berlin-Tempelhof (EDDI), maybe for the last time....

It takes more than 5 hours flight time for the round trip, a lot of fun with the very busy Tower-Lady w/o transponder on board and a nice sunny Afternoon in Berlin.

And Lola? She´s awaits eagerly the next trip to whereever. But she lend us a comfortable headset :-)


Bye bye, Tempelhof.....
