LFCC - Cahors Lalbenque is a local airfield for skydivers, situated 100km north of Toulouse (France). The region of Cahors is well known for its wines ^_^ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cahors). I have some relatives living in the vicinity of the fieldand during my 2 day visit there last summer, the sound of a Pilatus could be heard all day.

On a hot, lazy afternoon, we drove to the airfield in the heating August sun of Southern France, and treated the smallest ones of the family on a nice fresh drink, while we were all looking at the spectacle that was being performed in front, above and all around us.

Time to visit the airfield again, but this time in the sim and with a Twin Otter and moments before sunrise. Guess that I woke the entire neighbourhood; and I expect to find the local gendarmerie waiting for me in the "buvette" (bar).

Shots below are unedited, except for resizing to 1600pix and little sharpening to compensate this.

Sacrilège! Vous survolez sur ma maison, faire suffisamment de bruit de ceux PT-6 à réveiller les morts, mon pauvre petit chien gémir tristement loin! Et maudire les parachutistes; atterrissant toujours dans mon jardin de fleurs, de détruire mes chrysanthèmes ... Sacre Bleu!

 

There oughta be a law...

Great shots

 

It is bug. To get realistic number of views,  just make a reply post by yourself something like the plane is freeware from avsim and after you post it, you will see correct number of views.
