April 12, 20206 yr Bernd, I expected all - especially more scenic Yosemite pictures - but an engine failure. Great pictures nevertheless! Btw, is it El Capitan in #8, the rock wall your plane's nose points to? Harald Geyer Gründer der Messerschmitt Freunde Dresden v. V.

April 13, 20206 yr Wow...Bernd...great pictures..! Love the fly-over (or, should I say, fly-thru) shots in the narrow valleys...! Yeah..."Ok, we need to gain altitude, full power...", that would explain it...🙂...must have forgotten about those red-markings on the gauges....(Glad you made it safely back to the earth)...! [Regarding El Capitan, I hear of it, unfortunately, when a climbing accident happens there...not that infrequent, though, it seems...(quite a daunting thing)...good to see it in your shots, here..]

Unfortunately not, but I never forget seeing the documentary "Am Limit" about the Huber brothers trying a speed climbing record at El Capitan. That video evening was the evening before crossing the Timmelsjoch by bike, but that's another story. Harald Geyer Gründer der Messerschmitt Freunde Dresden v. V.
