Harry was flying the notorious Doctor Killer
The other films were horrific as they showed how awful an impact can be with trees and all that hard unforgiving wood.
It highlights the danger of flying low especially at altitude on hot days and areas of sinking air.
In conditions like that with low powered piston singles and low climb ability all you have is potential energy to get out of a sink!
low height above the terrain and minimal potential energy to tap into!
Anyone know of mountain flying courses in Europe? I did some on skis at Meribel France and may go back this winter as that was amazing flying.
Any other notable places
