Finding ourselves in this strange and surreal situation we’re all facing does have its good sides, too – you finally get to do all the stuff that’s been neglected for months ;-) So, here’s a little video from our Alpine Crossing we did half a year ago, on October 4th, from Germany to Italy, crossing [...]
So, here’s another one from last week… a beautiful morning flight in our lovely region.
