Today was a good day. After the breakfast with Richard Charkin, I went to do something which is heavily recommended if you want to cross the Alpes or take a trip through them as a pilot: Mountain training. It is mainly about the weather, when you can’t with a Cessna 172 just fly above the hilltops, but you have you fly through the valleys. Then a constant alertness for strips where an emergency landing could be performed in the unlikely case of an engine failure. And some phenomenons like downdrafts with rotor effects that can occur when crossing a mountain wall which one should be prepared for. Mr. Gerhard Breu, the instructor from Schwabenflug, is not just a very good trainer and extremely polite person, but also a true champion on this topic who has a lot of valuable information on his website.
Besides the training, it was fun and beauty, too. We were flying over the most popular castle, well, in the whole world ;-) Schloss Neuschwanstein, which is cetainly one of Germany’s biggest tourist attraction. See here the pictures:
Today was a lot of writing, just posted an article on the Blog of Holtbrinck eLAB in German language about the value of a social network here.

I remember visiting Neuschwanstein with a pig!
Lovely view. I am green with envy. You are such a bravado going through valleys and taking dives with the machine.
I also do not see the future of e-book. I remember writing/reading loads on it when I was doing my masters (6 years ago!). I simply cannot believe it is still a breakfast topic… May be it is like furniture for some, but for me, it is like an ice to an eskimo (sorry).
See you this eve at Kytaro. You have my NL mobile number still no?
Bis gleich.
