Any chance of a better resolution of Samedan ?

[IO540]

Oh dear, just noticed that the first pic has shrunk massively... I wonder why; it was fine last night. The picture website (photobucket) must have resized it. Edit: now fixed, sorry. Interestingly, one can see the URLs to all the pictures on pprune by doing a View Source ;)

How about a piccy of your Bo from the outside?

Is it turbonormalised?

I'll show you mine if you'll show me yours:O

In Greece we have not faced a serious (for our standards :O ) winter climate yet for this season.

Mountains are without snow and December still had some perfect flying weather for most of its part.

Before yesterday I flew a route (I did a year ago as well) that takes you over some of Greece's high mountain range, south Pindos mountains. I flew from Athens Megara LGMG to Ioannina LGIO.

Just thought I'd show some images. Not very good as My license hasnt arrived yet and taking pictures with instructors onboard is ok to do but slightly weird. Anyway hope it works and are not too big.

Kersefontein farm is a wonderful old Cape Dutch homestead which is also a guest house. The owner, whose family have farmed there since 1770, is a keen pilot, very knowledgeable aviation enthusiast and excellent host.
We didn't stay at the farm this time, but certainly shall on another visit to the Cape.

Johnfg I flew into Castle Kennedy last Autumn, wx was pants, but enjoyed the trip. Had a wee bit of difficulty judging the approach as I had to fly over the trees at the Eastern edge of the runway. How did you find it?
I found the approach into Castle Kennedy a little confusing too but got there in the end. I had the advantage of speaking to the very helpful Lord Stair who owns the airfield first and he gave me a good briefing.

The haziness in most of these pictures were mainly due to 3 reasons:
a) Some African dust drifting slowly to the north to anoy me.
b) My constant inabillity to remind myself to wipe the windscreen clean before I set off.
c) My unimpressive photographic skills.

Just got here, so maybe a small intro : i´m a 36 hour PPL student pilot from Portugal, and i find a lot of the pics posted on this thread simply stunning. Though not in the same league as some here, i´d like to share a few pics i´ve taken while flying solo (i know, student pilot shouldn´t be taking pics, but hey, who can resist?! ;)) :

Let´s see if i can make this work:

Really beautiful photos, can't wait to get my license to be able to fly in Greece! By the way, do you think the communication will be difficult for me since I have learned everything in English?

[ThinkRate]

By the way, do you think the communication will be difficult for me since I have learned everything in English?

Although Greece is not the best in the world to demostrate the fact that English is THE prime language in aviation, and although perfectly legal, sometimes the frequency gets clogged with Greek, you will absolutely not have any problems communicating in English with Athina Information (FIS), assuming you will be flying VFR. Sometimes if you're lucky, nearby traffic may even talk back to you in English, for situational awareness purposes. :D :hmm:

Well at the end of the day I guess it will not be hard to learn the appropriate greek phraseology to use in order to keep everyone happy..;-) I may mostly be flying from Tatoi Airport in the suburbs of Athens...not sure if the airport is called that but what I do know is that it is 10min from where I live..:-) Thanks for your answer!!

Excellent piccies, Stik!

[stiknruda]

Thanks chaps. I am not very good with cameras and I just pressed the tit when it seemed appropriate. I think I took 55 pics!

How was I allowed to be there is quite a different topic. Mmnn - let me just say that I was incredibly privileged. Those of you who know me, know the bizarre turn of events that caused it to happen as I left the RAF 24 years ago!

The only remaining Sepecat Jaguar Squadron in the Royal Air Force, 6 Sqn, have been told that the Jaguar will be withdrawn from service at the end of this month, some months before the due date. This has caused disruption to all Squadron personnel, from the "fairies and sooties" that service the jets, through to the ever so nice "squippers", safety equipment folk to the admin and ops folk.

An amazing day and when I'm 80 odd years old and dribbling, making incoherent noises - it'll be the one that I'm thinking about!

Thanks to OC6 and Jag Staneval!

well placed for photo's.

Mollis is idyllic - no ATC, security fences or yellow jackets. The parallel taxyway is a public footpath, people recognise the risks, behave sensibly and everyone gets on fine. It's an ex airforce airfield now open PPR.

Fabulous pictures, Basil. I didn't take many photos, but my passenger did so there may be a few more to come. We explored the Oberland fairly thoroughly, then aimed for the Matterhorn (which we missed, due to heavy sink just North of the Dent Blanche), flew past the Grand Combin and on to the Mont Blanc massif. It was a great morning's flying.

Aosta is a nice destination - pleasant town, and a good airport in a stunning location. Nicer still is the nearby strip at Chamois, a few minutes flight from Aosta. The village of Chamois can be reached by cable car, or by air. Here is the strip (the threshold is about a quarter of the way up the picture, directly above the wing):

Nice pics indeed , isnt G-PLAN a barton aeroplane ?

[bigelz1215]

She is a well known ol' gal. Its amazing who knows her , a few years ago I managed to get up front on a flight to Tenerife (in the good old days :) ) Talking to the Captain I mentioned that I had a share in a plane at Barton. It turned out that he had done some of his ppl training in G-PLAN. Small world.
Although only a C150 she has seen me to Orkney in the North , Alderney in the south , lands end in the west and I think North Coates is as far east as I have been. May not be the fastest in the aviation world or perform like the proverbial homesick angel , but reliable and easy to fly , definitely.

[maxdrypower]

Yep saw her today went and took our aircraft for a quick spin , glorious weather today , G-PLAN was parked right behind me

Ah the sun! The weather had been dodgy all day, lots of low ceiling bkn convective clouds around. Not long before we arrive we broke into this! It stayed this way all the way home.

Sitting on the ground, at a picnic table, sipping an ice-cold coke, basking in the sunshine, and sharing all this with your long suffering dad... priceless!

Oh, and wouldn't mind a go in this sometime!

I booked with Cesca under the aforementioned number and got checked out in their PA28-161 EC-FXS from Son Bonet airfield (LESB) by a very friendly English lady named Valerie, and then rented the aircraft for another hour. The condition of the a/c is okay but not great, as are the prices.

Maybe not comparable with all the very nice pictures here in this post, but for me emotionally it is!! Leaving for my first solo on EBAW runway 11, taken by the instructor in the tower who told me minutes before: "So what do you think, try one on your own hu ?" in which i stumbled.. sure why not!

Well, today I took my 6-year old for his first glider ride. It was 70 degrees out, 30 miles of visibility, just a little bumpy.
http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa72/Aerowerk/Adamsfirstgliderride02.jpg

Ended up just being a sleigh ride but that was ok. As we were rolling down the runway he was so excited I thought he was going to levitate us and wing us past the cub.

http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa72/Aerowerk/Adamsfirstgliderride03.jpg

Before I took my son up in the glider, I took him up in a 1946 C140. I joined the 140 club partly for the purpose of introducing my kids to flight. I have access to a super cub as well as the gliders, but side-by-side seating can't be beat for being able to project confidence to your child.

I think all C150/2s should have this conversion done, it ups the cruise to 100 knots and it's a taildragger.

[IFMU]

I think all C150/2s should have this conversion done, it ups the cruise to 100 knots and it's a taildragger.
There is an easier way. Sell the C150/2 and convert the money into a C140. 100kts cruise with a c85 and it's a taildragger!
That air2air shot of the C140 was taken from a friend's C150. In climb we were about dead even, both airplanes hauling two adults. In cruise I could really run away from him. I have heard C120's are faster, no flaps, and a cleaner wing.
But I would not argue against your sentiment of taildragger-izing the world.

Hi Folks,

The thread seems to be creeping down the list, so here's my attempt at adding piccies to keep it alive (it my first time adding from picassa, so I'm sorry if I screw up!). These pics are from a little jaunt taking off from Schenetady, NY (pronouced ska-neck-tady by the natives), heading down to the Catskill mountains then around Albany, NY - which is the state capitol (a little known fact!). I took a well equipped 172 and three friends from uni and it worked out at $29 a piece for an hour - bargain. Enough preamble, here's (hopefully) the pics:

Autumn colours in the Mohawk river valley:

Good pics. My old glider club is based at Freehold, you may have flown right over there. BK (before kids) I spent many weekends skiing at Hunter Mountain just a little south of there.

Hi IFMU,

You have a good memory! Freehold was sort of a turning point (turned away about 5 miles early to avoid the gliders) and the second pic is from just before that point.

Yesterday was the last scheduled day of the soaring season on the hill. Pictured below is one of our pawnees hooking up to a 2-33. My Blanik L33 solo is tied out all the way to the right of the picture. I took it apart today and put it in the box.
http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa72/Aerowerk/10280731.jpg
It was also a great local day, the ridge was working and we found thermals to 4500' msl. At one point we were running the ridge at 85 kts and going up at 6 kts!
http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa72/Aerowerk/1028074.jpg
Ship #6 was working the ridge a little lower, caught them here over our emergency field. It's about 800' lower than our field, and about 2000' long.

Amazing glider pictures!!
Thanks! That's the nice thing about a two place glider, makes it easier for air-2-air.

Don't sell your first solo picture short, it's a big moment that any fellow pilot appreciates. I wish I had a picture of mine. Emergency services mustering, villagers fleeing and screaming in terror...

I've had dogs on the runway in Thailand before, and a family of ducks at, wait for it, Duxford, and a Hare-miss at Cranfield. But a Girraffe ? ! ! Judging by the port flap, the pilot was landing. I suppose he could be excused. Girraffes can motor, and maybe, he simply didn't see it. That's a nasty looking crick in the ole boys neck ! Incidentally, where is "V5" from ?

...but interesting (well, I thought so). This is a model of the only nonoplane (plane with nine wings) ever built, the 1921 Caproni Ca.60 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caproni_Ca.60), at the Musee de l'Hydraviation (http://www.aviationmuseum.eu/World/Europe/France/Biscarosse/musee_Hydra_Aviation.htm) (Seaplane Museum, roughly translated), in Biscarosse, south-west of Bordeaux. It did fly, twice - once successfully, the second time someone forget to secure the ballast representing a full load of passengers - on rotation it all slipped backwards, and that was the end of that (and the pilots, too).

OK chaps - nice pics but let's size them properly before posting.

I am sure PPRUNE has access to a lot of bandwidth but I don't need to scroll 2 metres right to see all the pic.

Resize before posting to about 1000 pixels wide - it will still look good.

:ok:

[Barcli]

so remind me how to add a photo to a reply ? clicking on the " add image" doesnt seem to work ............:*

They all fit quite nicely on my screen. What browser are you using? (My photo is 850 pixels wide)

Advice for posting photos is at the beginning of this thread.

[Barkly1992]

David Good !

I am using MSIE 7

But that is not the issue.

Why does my pic sit nicely in the screen and yours doesn't?

I have a wide screen - running at 1152 by 864 pixels.

If I change the resolution - which seems to defeat the fact that like a lot of other people we have upgraded to LCD and better screens - will this make the difference.

Maybe the instructions should change.

How does my pic appear to you?

:confused:

[gasax]

I followed the adive on the site religiously and resized the images to 800 x 600. The picture of the Robin is half screen width on my machine whilst Davidhoul's and mine are screen width.

Something amiss somewhere!

All pics look alright to me.

Only had to delete one recently that was massive. All others fit ok here....

It takes up about 2/3 of the PPRune column width.

I have two monitors - an LCD 1280 x 1024 - the pictures fit fine on this one - the other is CRT 1024 x 768 and I don't see the whole of some pictures.

I'm rather proud of this image.

[BRL]

That is a cracking picture Andy.

How much did you stop down for it, what other settings did you use etc?

[ranger703]

Thanks. I'm not too sure of the exact settings off the top of my head,will check when I get home. I do remember it was a very cold evening,I had my ski wear and arctic gloves on! This was one image of 5 taken whilst this aircraft conducted night circuits. I use a Canon 20D and for this shot I used a Sigma 15-30mm EX lens. Camera was tripod mounted,using the bulb setting with a remote shutter release. ISO would have been 100 and an exposure of approx 2mins but I will check that and aperture later.

Fortunately it was a very still night at the end of the runway,although as you can see from the chimney to the left there was some wind about a mile away,unfortunately there were very few stars in the sky that night.

Thanks for the comment,glad you like,I will be attempting some similar night shots in the near future.

[Barkly1992]

Don't want to interupt these great pics - but solved the problem re viewing on my wide screen.

Took someones advice and increase the resolution - like the screen was designed for 1280 by 960 and it works.

Thanks. :ok:

Had a fantastic time up in Inverness last week with the Highland Flying School. I did their Advanced Handling Course which got me familiar with the PA-38 Tomahawk. Included short field takeoffs and landings, grass field operations (at the Dornoch strip), spinning, Chandelles and Lazy Eights. They booked me into a very reasonably priced B&B at nearby Ardesier (on the shores of the Moray Firth). Excellent breakfasts but best foregone on the day one does the spinning - I found out the hard way!

The day after the course finished I took one of the Tomahawks solo up to the Orkneys after a short detour over Loch Ness. At Kirkwall I found a grizzled but friendly taxi driver who took me on a two hour tour of the island.

I assume there are more people reading than posting to this thread so it tends to get lost several pages into the forum. Is it possible it could have a permanent place at the beginning in the same way as Flying Videos. I personally enjoy the photos more than the videos.

Pity more people don't take the trouble to take pictures or is it that they are too shy to share them with us?

I took two weeks off during the end of October to have some relaxing vacations with the wife in the islands around Tahiti; Society Islands of French Polynesia in South Pacific.

There, for 3 days I rented a PA28 from the aeroclub in Tahiti Aéroclub Les Ailes du Fenua (http://www.ailesfenua.net/) and toured around Bora Bora (NTTB) and Maupiti (NTTP) before returning it back to Tahiti Faaa Intl. (NTAA) and continuing the vacations in "ground mode" !

Excellent experience.
GA flying there is very simple without hassles.
The views are amazing.

No PNR, No handlers, No charges, Nothing special for VFR or IFR op's.
So basically there is nothing to report :-D
All goes smooth down under there.
It's French Territory and the JAR PPL is used as if in Europe.
All ATC & Pilots talk there (even NTAA's ATIS) is in French but they talk in English (to you only as everywhere :evil: ) as soon as you call in English.

There are plenty of islands to tour around and a couple of AVGAS refueling points (NTAA & NTTR).
Most info. can be found in France's on line AIP.

what the heck does that do ?:)

[liam548]

Pilot DAR what is that thing? ;)

[Pilot DAR]

We're designing and building a towed "survey bird" used for geological research on a much larger plane. It's easier, cheaper, and safer to test a 1/3 scale model on my plane first. Once we get it just right, we build the full scale version, then fly the "big iron".

There is a lot more to doing it than you'd first think!

Pilot DAR
