Flying the Highlands
and Islands of Scotland

Both Cessna 172 and PA28 flew in from Glasgow, with Gary and Hamish.	"Had to meet the Frenchies! And there was a party at Gigha after all !" Photo with Hamish	before run up and line up	Hamish's PA28 becomes a small white dot on the grass runway before zooming back pass the airfield
Let's prepare our flight back to France. The wind is playing with the maps. Open air flight planning is not ideal with a 10kt wind	Bye bye Gary, lining up with the Cessna 172	Last taste of Scotland	Crossing the Solvay Firth, under much brighter skies than four days ago
Abeam Blackpool. It's CAVOK, we are already missing the Scottish clouds !	Refueling and flight plan in Compton Abbas. No Yaks today, but a BBC Dove	and an Extra 300 training for Advanced aerobatics	Cowes, Isle of Wight, just before the last bout of overwater flying : 80NM of Channel crossing...

Thanks to Manchester Radar, Paul Keegan in Oban, Peter Brown in Barra, the fire brigade in Stornoway, Hamish in the air, in making our trip to the land of the bewitching mists and moving skies such a wonderful experience... We'll be back ! Emmanuel - Anne-Céline - Charlie Mike
