Nice to have outside pics of the #Sperling #SF23 while #flying!

After a good sleep in my #hammock and the cool shadows of the forest on the #Peißenberg I had a swim in a too small, too warm and too murky little lake I spotted the day before.
Then I flew back home.

Ah, and I tramped the way back to #EDPZ airfield!

Short but beautiful weekend trip with #Sperling has begun! #Cycling to the #airport and then a short #flight to #Paterzell.
I'll be going to #GrüneSonne #electro #festival on #Hohenpeißenberg later!

Springerlager in Bad Windsheim!
Anreiseflugzeuge und Absetzmaschine.
Leider "nur" eine 182er und nicht die #Do27
...und eine Affenhitze

I made it! Took off at #EDPW with officially 346m of grass #runway!
I always hesitated and cancelled that visit in my former #Katana #DV20 years, but with #Sperling and its #STOL capabilities I could finally go for it!
No wind, ~680kg and 27°C.
That feeling racing towards that crop field and passing the point of no return just for the sake of some scribbled calculations is so thrilling! I love it! I'm alive!

@wohtefak In der Tat. Und ich hab mal wieder einen Sprung aus der Ladeklappe machen können!
Juuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhuuuu!!!
Dann noch die Freunde in #BadWindsheim besucht und danach den #Sperling ins "Osterlager*" nach #Herzogenaurach gestellt! Ich bin jetzt auch bei Verwandtschaft.
Jetzt kann der Hase kommen! #avgeek #aviation #skydive #Fallschirm #Pink #SkyVan #PlanePacking #SF23 #Spornrad #taildragger *Osterlager: Wir haben 25er, Avionik und kein Dach überm Kopf!
My lil' #Easter trip is starting slow: pulling my #skydive gear from the #bus stop up to the #airfield... Then loading everything into the (freshly cleaned) #Sperling and hopping over to #Rothenburg o.d. Tauber where there's #Pink #SkyVan in action!
I plan for one #jump!

#Flying instead of cleaning!
#Sperling and I have a new home for the #weekend!
#Mountain panorama of the #Alps seen from #Paterzell is gorgeous!
Tomorrow will be a great day of #skydiving!

Still pretty cold for yesterday's flight!
Tried to warm up #Sperling by abusing a gas powered radiant heater for camping!
Despite the mostly sunny weather, views weren't so impressive. But look who took off before me!

Ahh, so nice! Finally in the air again.
My new year's flight went great!
#Sperling was at maintenance and is now home again.
Strong winds, runway 22. Soooo... perfect "blind landing" as you obviously can't see anything against the sun through that old windshield.

Weather... that's one thing. But this?! Goddddammmnit!
What's wrong with those guys?! Arrrrgh, I need my own fucking airfield!
If my life were a movie, I would just land there, whether they want me to or not. But, spoiler: it's not.
It's #rules, bloody ruuuules!

Some impressions of #Sperling #SF23 yesterday in #EDMT #Tannheim. Another nice flight as part of my #CRI training.

Friends: Hey, come to that #concert!
People: Take train, go directly to concert.
Me: Grab phone, ask around, take #bicycle to airfield, get on #Sperling #aircraft, wait until fellow pilot is overhead #ETHA, jump out, touch down, ask for beer, ask for rideshare, arrive on time at concert!
Life is an adventure, if you make it one!
#avgeek #outdoor #aviation #taildragger #PilotsLife #PlanePacking #SF23 Thanks to #Skydive #Altenstadt for letting me invade their #Dropzone #Paratrooper style!
Perfect time for a #sunset #formation flight!

...the beauty is burned into my mind only!
Return flight early this morning crossing the Felber Tauern was well within my comfort zone. #GAFOR route 40 with classification #DELTA isn't too bad... yet.
Shouldn't have gone much later though. The alternative (via routes 60+62) was possible at all times and tanks were full. #avgeek #aviation #PlanePacking #PilotsLife #SF23 #Sperling #taildragger
Ok, got it. I'll stay until Friday.
I would have LOVED to accept the challenge to land the #Sperling (stall speed: 40 kt) almost as a #VTOL against the wind of 24023G42KT on runway 22. Piece o' cake!
...but as soon as I turned into the taxiway, I would have fallen over!
#avgeek #aviation #PlanePacking #PilotsLife #SF23
Did it twice... tradition established!
Piloted the #Sperling into the #alps again to spend #NewYearsEve with some friends on a #mountain hut!
Same procedure as last year! Let's see how the #flight back will turn out! #avgeek #aviation #PlanePacking #PilotsLife #EDMO #LOKL #SF23
Flight back was a piece of cake. But wheels threw up a lot of dirt during take off run at Schweinfurt-Süd special airfield. #avgeek #aviation #EDFS #PIlotsLife #PlanePacking #taildragger #SF23 #Sperling
