Jumping into Monaco cloudbase - 4 June 2009

Thanks Pascal for taking me to Monaco :-) At Roquebrune in cloudbase, he stood on the edge of the carpeted take-off telling me when he could glimpse the ground below... which meant it was safe for take-off! Got lost in white for a little while... pulled big-ears to come down and meanwhile had a compass guiding me away from the mountain. You can see Pascal spin down to landing at the same time as I carefully make my approach to the beach. Amazing flight :-)

Very beautifull fligh, but there is too much houses,roads and railway, and the landing is quite small,I prefer to fly here in Iceland, (when I can) ....

[anitahaf]

true... bigger landing areas here... Im not used to having to conceentrate so hard on not missing the landing area ;-)

Thank you :-) I hope you get to fly there, its amazing... I was in such awe that I forgot to even give soaring a try ;-) and yes, the beachlandings are real cosy.

Wonderful! This was a flight I wanted to make when I was out there, but never got round to it. On my books for next year's visit to the Maritime Alps. Great to get an insight. Dontcha just love landing on sand? Like a deep pile carpet. My favourite!
