Flying the French Alps

Postby mak » Tue Jan 13, 2015 11:21 pm

Tinkerbell and myself had the opportunity to get a flip in the French Alps.

The pilot's English was worse than my French so communication was a big problem and made our stint at the controls very short. I suppose he didn't trust our flying skills.

Take off and landing on snow and a steep downhill runway with a cliff on the end made for some interesting flying.
