Random flying photos thread

Please state the location

@europax, yes I do confirm… a homebuilt is absolutely useless for international flying, and you cannot fly IFR with one, QED 🤣
@Ibra, of course, I used the whole of the 3’500m, and also the 45m width, since I pay for it. Came in from Granada LEGR, friendly and affordable but complicated (and hot) place…

@Europaxs, irony travels poorly on the internet, and in the interest of promoting Annex 1 to new people on EuroGA you might like to make fewer such statements.

It depends on the detail; Annex 1 is generally difficult in Europe in circumstances requiring IFR, high altitude (Mode S mandatory), permits, etc. So aircraft such as the Lancair Evolution – a PT6 turboprop which is great in the US – are much less useful in Europe. I recommend you to review the Evolution threads where the various matters are discussed in a constructive manner. Also check out the SFC (specific fuel consumption) of a PT6 at low altitudes. There are unsurprisingly very few (only 2 or 3) flying in Europe.

Nope, but we sure found another good one, deciding factor being the availability of a certain beverage named after “white house” in Spanish language…

Back home, post maintenance test flight of the day took me meandering the Alps… GVA cleared me FL150 for:
Monta Rosa massif (the Sahara sand has not only been deposited on every corner of my ride, but on the snow of the Alps too)

Sempiternal Cervinia/Matterhorn/Cervinio

and the Gd Combin

Awesome! That Mt Blanc pic looks like it was taken from about 18k feet?
