A bit of real flying

Post by TobyV »

I was just the passenger though. Those on here that have met me in real life (admittedly not many and probably not since we opened G-AWZK at MAN in 2007) might recognise me!

Flight is from Birr (LSZF) to Bressaucourt (LSZQ) in Switzerland in a Piper Archer.

Thanks Toby, :thumbsup:
That was engrossing. Great to see the minor situations being handled; unexpected cloud, overflew a little, bit too high, a little unclear about parking.
As you say: a bit of real flying.
Cheers, Mike.

Hello Toby,

Nice video and most enjoyable,

Thanks Toby, I enjoyed that.
Reminds me of a flight I had in a similar aircraft a few years ago although over the much flatter scenery of Cambridgeshire. I didn't have a video camera, but do have a few stills at -

Thanks again
