Corsaire31 419 Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 On my flight today from Guernsey island to Belle Ile (LFEA) - a nice island on the southern coast of Brittany -, I came to fly over Brehat island on the northern coast. It was one of my favourite sailing destinations in the 70s and 80s when I lived around there. I used to anchor in the middle bay which is right under the plane.

hifly 925 Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Small boats in small harbours, getting the feet wet, salt on your lips, fresh sea air. Sure gives you a good appetite. I remember. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Corsaire31 419 Posted August 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 Midnight arrival at Ouessant island west of Brest (LFEC). Was a bit of sport as I had announced my position 10 nm away, and just when I was about to radio I was on finals, the plane with the lights on on the right parking suddenly entered the runway to position for a take off. Had to call a missed approach and make a go around, which is something I'm not really crazy about at night... But all went well and ended with a greaser on runway 6, and delivery of my 1356 lbs of suncream. Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Coffee 2,030 Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 Gah, I hate when that happens. If i have the time to pull it off, I have been known to fly over their heads and land anyhow and dash down to the last run off...usually they notice and wait, if not they are up and over my head by the time I make the run off. Yes, this is why only cargo will agree to fly with me, and the livestock isn't to thrilled about it either. Link to post Share on other sites
