I just love to fly

Finally today I had some good practice. Winter weather with freezing fog. Waited 5 hours in -4 degrees for better visibility and when things went up to 2500 m horizontal and a cloud base of 500 feet I took off with a Cessna 152 at the ex-military airport at Kalocsa (LHKA). One of the worst runway surfaces with a not too friendly weather, but perfect for practicing 3 hours of touch'n'go like mad. 

Here's a few pictures:

Pretty bumpy surface.

Between layers at 600 feet

That's what I love most in the C152, looking back and seeing the empennage...

Some good news even if not from Maun

A belgian guy from PPRUNE went to Windhoek, Namibia on the 6th and was allready on a few interviews. This is cool, becouse it means there is still demand and opportunities for lowtimers. 

But the most important thing from his story is that I'm gonna need that C210 rating. I allready found an early 1960 bird. Hope it'll be okay. See picture. Pretty nice machine with retracted gears.
