July 23, 201015 yr Hello(!),Thought I'd try to post a few pics of a flight I took a few weeks ago while on holiday with my parents in a town called Le Touquet in Northern France. There's a small airport there which handles lots of light aircraft, many coming on day trips from the UK. I don't really fly that much and don't have a pilot's license or anything but they had an inaugural day on celebrating something to do with the first flight from Le Touquet or something and to celebrate they were offering tourist plane flights for just 25Euros and helicopter flights for just 40 Euros. It was only a 10 minute flight around Le Touquet but it was so cheap it was definitely worth it. The plane was a Robin DR something which I have flown in flightsim many times. The pilot from what I gathered was a pilot de ligne (airline pilot) so that was cool and he had the radio on speaker so that was cool too. We went up to 500 metres he said (1,500 feet) which was I think to be higher than the helicopters. It was a little too high to really see the town well but it was still a pretty good impression of flying. Anyway on with the pics.Hope people liked the pics. Any comments/criticism welcome.Many thanks,Pierre
