Petites devinettes pour savoir où nous sommes allés au restaurant aujourd"hui.

Il faut d'abord survoler quelques vignobles.

Puis trouver une ville traversée par l'autoroute qui sépare le quartier du stade du quartier de la cathédrale

Enfin, voici un petit aéroport avec une belle piste et de beaux seuils décalés (il y a des routes des deux cotés)

Enfin, on peut garer l'avion dans les paquerettes juste devant le restaurant.

Reims, c'est tout près (25 minutes de vol entre le décollage et l'atterrissage), pas de zones militaires ou interdites à éviter et nous avons également bien mangé.

Weather being rather dull and flying being difficult, I take the time to create a Google Maps with all the travelssince the first flight.

We had some time available to make a short trip to our native Alsace (east of France).

Take off from Nangis after lunch, and landing in Mulhouse-Habsheim after 1h20mn and one go-around.

My brother in law Pierre enjoys a short flight over the plain and the Bollenberg wineyard.

Then it's my other brother in law Patrick's turn. He has been taking flying lessons for a few months now.

The Sabine's sister Marie-Andrée makes a short flight. It's during this flight that I had the incident described in the preceding blog entry.

On the flight backe to Nangis we make a small detour via the Haut-Koenigsbourg castle (and it's scaffoldings). We the n track direct home by overflying the Vosges moutain range.

The purpose of the two days trip was to meet one of my collegues living near the Pérouge-Meximieux airfiled north east of Lyon. After some procrastination due to weather we set course for our firt stopn in the burgundy wine land.

After having dodged and flow through some rain we overfly Clos-Vougeot.

And this is our first stop we had to visit under an umbrella.

The next day the weather improved greatly, so we could fly to our destination.

Pierre got to test the RV before we visited Pérouges and had a great lunch.

We then set course to Nangis, overflying Pérouges.

The weather was fine till around Auxerre but deteriorated therafter the visibility reducinf and the ceilings lowering. Around Sens (10mn before arriving at home) we had to turn around. We got back to Auxerre, refueled ans waited for 1h30mn before being able to gat back to Nangis.
