Having flown a 757 in an unorthodox approach to LFLB, it was time to get the little WT-9 Dynamic over to Chambery with a view to taking it up to Courchevel, weather depending.

 

I'd already flown the Dynamic from the UK to France. I believe she's actually got the range to go from Blackpool to Chambery in one go....just! - it's only about 600nm! However, I didn't want to set up a 6 hour or so flight! So I stopped off at Bembridge on the Isle of Wight before continuing on to Briare Chatillon (LFEI) just to break the journey up.

 

At Briare pre-flight. Weather should be quite good today.

I'm sure the blue taildragger was at Bembridge before I set off!

Cruising along at about 5500, cloudbase just above, shouldn't be a problem.

If the weather becomes a problem I can always stop and read the owner's handbook!!
