I’d be up for it too. BTW for ad hoc meet-ups we have the ad hoc meet up thread which I’d say is a more productive place. Plus the EuroGA ad hoc fly-in telegram group.

Fingers crossed that this winter season skiing trips will be doable. I was in Zell am See last fall for hiking in similarly excellent conditions, so St. Johann LOIJ, Zell LOWZ, and Sion LSGS would all be about 3h flight time away. Combined with the massive shift of my employer to enable work from home or remotely as a default, I would pack my work laptop and can ride out the weather if needs be without even losing vacation days.
I would be in for something like that. Love flying to LWZ for skiing and if done outside of main season, I guess one could easily find flexible accommodation for a couple of days to work from there…
I think Peter was the first guy to visit Avignon from the UK…
Just 10% increase or 15min extra to a route from Sion in a fast RV, he can land anywhere after
Yeah, sure. Sion – Annemasse is 30min one way, flying away from Rotterdam.
It’s better to clear customs on airports near the borders, it makes VFR diversions way easier later on, also near border customs are usually not around or not interested, a bit further inland things gets interesting: the stop needs more than 15min, especially if you are the first guy in history to turn up there from Switzerland
I am pretty sure he won’t be the first guy from Switzerland to land in Strasbourg.
By the way, Strasbourg is near a border…

Annemasse LFLI

Sion valley is just beautiful !
one can plan reliably with 150KTAS@8000ft@30l/h, and dialing back to 20"-2000RPM still gives 105KTAS@20l/h
Looks surprisingly very linear between 150TAS@30l/h and 105TAS@20l/h, will you get 170TAS@34l/h ?
In M20J, I get 110TAS@20l/h and 150TAS@30l/h, then it goes non-linear 165TAS@55l/h

Annemasse LFLI, it’s 1h PNR, the nice guy at reception desk has “NYPD police hat” and he use it to make smiles for Switzerland arrivals

Thanks! In general, a direct flight back LSGS – EHRD would be possible easily w.r.t. fuel, but in case the weather towards the north might be a bit more shifty, I would prefer to be already inside the customs union to have a more free hand to choose a weather alternative (I assume apart from an emergency situation it would be illegal to divert to a non-custom airfield).
Strasbourg LFST, no prior notice.

I did it last year together with @boscomantico. You need to send a form by e-mail to the dedicated customs office.
