On Friday, October 4th, it was time for the first Alpine Crossing of the season! Wonderful warm weather, a nice direction and perfect ATC made it a fantastic opening for the 19\/20 winter.<\/p>\n
A very special moment for me was when we fly over the lovely Val Sarentino between Vipiteno and Bolzano: Having spent many summer and winter holidays there, it had always been a special dream of mine to fly over the dreamy little valley. And now, that finally came true!<\/p>\n
The first hours of our flight had already been spectacular, but the best was yet to come. Crossing the Dolomites is a breathtaking sight that is hard to capture in words. In the end, it left us silent, simply amazed by the immemorial, massive structures of stone beneath us.<\/p>\n
After flying out over flat terrain again in Italy, all we had to do was descend for a nice landing close to Pradipozzo, with a 15 minutes walk to the next restaurant with some delicious pasta and wine! :-)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Thanks again: Now waiting for the next slot… D-OBBF over and out!<\/p>\n<\/div>\nngg_shortcode_0_placeholder\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" On Friday, October 4th, it was time for the first Alpine Crossing of the season!
