something-to-remember: Another Day in Paradise

Hej folks,

this is about a day I was up in the air and down to town...

Let's start the day with a fly in the sky... but before we could do this we had to leave one of the cars we drove on the little airport we would be at the afternoon same day, so we can drive home again.

Like you see the weather does not seem to be on our side, it was cloudy, windy, rainy... but we though it can only get better, so we took the second car and drove three hours to the other airport, where the plan was we wanted to take, to fly with....

so.... after three hours sittin' on a little back seat of the car, I was able to move my legs again and stretch myself in all directions... was nice..:-)

But we did not have so much

time to rest. First we made a plan of the route and gave this to the towers and then we made a call to the first tower, so that they knew when we're gonna start...

and here you see how strong the wind blows

and where the wind came from....

and so you see one of the planes which are able to fly, but this one will not be mine....

yes we're nearby Ljungbyhed... deep down in the south of Sweden... and yes I could hear the dialect they've spoken cos we had a flying teacher with us.. a very nice guy and one of those who shows.. you're never to old to try...

like you see on the pic..

you have to make calls before you start to fly... and every area you fly over has its own frequency... so when you fly you have to go to the frequency you can reach a tower and that's like about every ten minutes another one..

and so here you see the plane I gotta fly with.. well was flying with...

the captain...checks all out...

and so we where up into the sky....

never though you have to do so much as a captain on a plane.. and yes.. you really have to learn much... it's not all the technology, also the clouds- how they are,how they move, how they will be next and so on.. of course all the laws and rules too...

...but flying high.. is great... love it...:-)

can this be Änglehom? Nej, but we flew very close around it, this is just a village ... a nice one- but we flew over Laholm and Tjärby and then over fields, forests, rivers and the sun came out and the rain was back and maybe around, sometimes we flew through little rain, but never through a cloud...

and here you see Halmstad....:-)

and the ocean is not far away... look on the left side...
still Halmstad,

but it just took a view minutes to fly past...

can you see it..? the little rainbow part?

well, here you get a better one... isn't it lovely?
and while the propellers are working diligently,

it shakes me a little by and my captain told me this and that and thanks to the headphones the

understanding is also pretty good....

and still the captain is doin' well as so the guest...

and after about 45 min it all ends..... our runway is in sight

and like with the start so was it a bit of a surprise

that it all was just a short action... I though to start and to land would take a longer time.. no.. I was wrong...

and here we are back and the sun is shinin' like it was the most beautiful day... like in Paradise.... sometimes it starts with a bit rain and ends with sun...
