Great scenery and great to see the whole family flying
Thanks !
Very nice report – what a nice thing to do with your family
Looks like you made a good day of it, especially so as a family. It does look cool and scenic down by the river (we didn’t cross the bridge when we visited).
Is that a C172? Seems to carry everything well.
I’ve only just looked now, but in case anyone else goes, the aero-club apparently will give lifts with prior notice, and their website (pdf) has a list of hotels, restaurants, taxis and hire cars, and the tourism office website is informative too.
It’s a C172 from LFPN, good value when it comes to the trees in front of upslope runway 08
There is not much to see on the other side of the river, only a nice view of city northern side & wine hills, but there is a small port and I come across these guys who offer boat trips (1 week tour) and boat rentals (sans permis), it sound like a nice plan for someone who has plenty of time to park aircraft and spend one week around the place?
Maybe what @UdoR was looking for in the other thread boat & sailing topic

What a lovely trip! Looks fantastic destination and one to dream about for the future
Joigny was closed by notam a few months back for aerial photography by drone: the result is a Microsoft Flight Simulator add-on here: https://flightsim.to/file/10649/joigny-airfield-lfgk
Did they reproduce the bumpiness of the runway?
