Back at Meiringen, the birthplace of meringue, The presidential flight had taken off a few hours ago at dawn, so i was ready to be on my way!

The rental company finally had our chopper ready, the Bell 412EP which was a nice flyer, and alot easier to control than my other helo in the last leg!

Todays journey took us to Interlaken, a municipality in the district of Interlaken in the canton of Bern in Switzerland which has a population of around 5200.

It is a well known tourist destination in the Bernese Oberland. The Aare River flows through the town.
Interlaken is located between Lake Brienz to the east and Lake Thun to the west. The towns name comes from its geographical position between the lakes (in Latin inter lacus), but the name was only coined in 1891, replacing the old name Aarm

Yes, that chopper is a good one. My stepfather, who is also an avid flightsimmer, has that very model. Very realistic, and also rather diffucult to hover, at least apart from other FS choppers I've seen.

Nonetheless, that one flies great, looks amazing, and your pictures do it justice. Keep up the good work! ;)
