Those small airfields that we like :) (PART 1)
Posted: Thu Jun 25, 2009 4:55 pmHi guys,
Those screenshots will not be artistic at all. It's just for the pleasure to share this little flight, from Habere-Poche facing the Geneva Lake, to Megeve. Both are "altiports" (small airfields with unusually high altitude) with sloped runways, in the middle of very nice landscapes.
Here I'm at Habere-Poche, started the engine and taxiing to the highest point of the grass runway, so that I can takeoff downhill.
Taking off gently, the hangar is on my left, Geneva lake is just behind the hill in my 6. This place is really lovely.
The route is in my GPS, but basically I just have to follow the main valleys and roads, it's not far away, 15 minutes flight maximum.
The real Alps have started, and the landscape is getting more impressive. I wouldn't like to fly there in foggy weather
