ULJIH invited all Fascination Pilots for a small Fly Inn to Bujedvice, CZ, on 18.08.2007

At the beginning of every flight, is the Preflight Check.

Ahhh, the heart goes still around.

Oh, the wheels are still alive

After the preflightcheck, the packing.

Climbing up at Heubach. The first destination will be Weiden / Oberpfalz. There we will meet 2 another Fascis. Therefore I have to fly for nearly 1 hour.

The Main-Donau-Channel

Nrnberg out of 7500ft MSL

On the fist leg. The sky above Franken, behind Nrnberg is getting more cloudy.

As I talked to Ren before the flight, he looked onto the Radar. The clouds are still nearly closed, but Weiden/Oberpfalz is free to land. So were staying in 7500 feet over the ceiling.

I would like to jump into this white heep of wool!

After landing in Weiden, we took a small, tricky briefing about the way to Budejovice. The flighttime for the next leg, will take nearly an hour.

Taxiing in Weiden for the departure to Budejovice

At the border to the Czech Republic. The weatherconditions are still ok. The planned flightlevel 75 will work.

Praha Info,Delta-Mike-Romeo-Mike-Romeo-Formation, dobre dan.Praha Info:We have all your details, squak 4317,take care of parachuting on the way to Budweis.

The clouds are growing more and bigger. Were climbing up to 10.000 feet MSL. The formation is wide feathered. Were flying in Slalom between the clouds. Nice and fantastic!!

Ren takes another way. Does he is flying through the clouds?

No, not really. I have still to learn a lot.

What a lovley Design!A big thanks to Wolfgang!

Through the clouds, enjoying the view.

Guck, Guck, Ren, Im still here.

The Landinggrid is more than 3000 m and so wide, that were landing in formation.The Taxiing to the parking position takes a long, long way.

Ren, the formation leader, with his last instructions.

The Formation is starting back to good old germany.

Gears up, Prop turned to 4700U/min, powersetting reduced.Now Ren is flying alone, and so hes faster than we are.

The last view to the airfield. A nice day is getting to the end.

Ren and his really nice Fasci

The time has come to say sayonara. At the border to the Czech Republic and Germany were giving up the formation. Ren will inform the FIS and close the flightplan. For us, we have a calm flight back to Heubach. Thinking about the day. What a day!And were still thinking about the sentence fromAntoine de Saint Exupery

A nice Day, and a fantastic flightPowered by WDs Fascination
