Favorite plane in a new suit

Postby plonk » Sun 31. Mar 2013, 18:55

So, i decided and signed the contract. Maybe, kebap count will finally rise now. The first assignment. Went up early, got into my captains suit, and drove to the airfield LFQR. There I met my new companion, a Piaggio 180 Avanti in WAC colors. Nice. Flew that bird for many hours, but I've not seen this one with my own eyes, yet.
Great! This is gonna be a nice ride. A cool plane, in a cool outfit.
Except... I shouldn't expect to see very much. Vis is rather low this morning...

on the other hand, for some nice views, the weather is not too bad...

after the trip over the north sea weather cleared up, and after a series of other nice spots (camera stuck, so i couldn'n make photos ;),
there it came into sight, EGPL. Beinn nam Fadhla, or Benbecula.

after a soft touchdown, and rollout, the P180 came to rest.

Time for a break. What? Gaelic only? I wasn't able to order a simple coffee.
Decided to depart immidiately.
