MP 085 LFKA-LFMN

[RedBaron]

Hi guys,

today we will fly to Nice/Cote d'Azur. the good thing will be that we can stay here for almost two weeks as there will be no MP Session next weekend.
But first we will have to get there

Today only Stefaan and me were joining the flight. Dave was somewhere else and I hope he is doing well. Stefaan will have to leave early as he had to attend a dancing event. No problem we will expedite the flight.

Last week we had to land at Aix-Les-Bains and so we will have to leave from there:


Ready to taxi:


OK, I already mentioned that we had to expedite the flight and so here we are rushing through the valleys at 461 KIAS. That was a lot of fun!


Some more turns ahead...


At some points we also had to climb at a high rate to avoid hitting the mountains. Sometimes it was really dangerous as the clouds were rather low.


The French Alps.


After rocking through the valleys it was time for the first touch and go at Saint Crepin (LFNC).




No more valley flying, but high altitude:


Touch and go on a grass strip at St Auban (FLMX). We are not afraid of anything


In the background you can see Stefaan doing his touch and go:


We left out the next strip at Vinon (LFNF).


Rushing over a mountain ridge between two mountain tops:




Then we arrived to Nice and so it happened that I had to fly a downwind approach to runway 04L. I only flew it a 'little' bit faster.
Roughly M0.9...


Here we are. Now I hope we will have very nice weather in Nice.


OK, I hope to see you all again in two weeks...
