Frolicking About Dijon-Darois, LFGI, France With My Stearman!


Recommended Posts

Hi!

 

Some heat wave of three days over France! Taking to profit being around to frolick aboard my bi-color and half :):) stearman!

Readying the Stearman for taxi at Dijon-Darois, LFGI, France

Now at LFGI runway 20, after a runup!

Airborne!

Keeping climbing. Realized no pump with the Stearman, looks like :pilot:

Now heading West, under 3,000 ft

The countryside under

Reaching to a one of reservoirs serving to balance waters for the Canal de Bourgogne, now mostly a recreational canal

Making a low pass (which I will count like a missed approach :)) at Pouilly-Maconges LFEP, a small terrain in the area!

After the low pass -- oh! the missed approach! -- and climbing

Taking a heading back to LFGI (where I likely will make some traffic patterns, before landing (not illustrated :):))

I need to try a little bi-wing action. Looks like fun!

Thanks all for those comments! My answers somewhat late likely due to the time shift!

 

DAVIDSTRAKA: 'bi-wing' That's not much the bi-wing than the tail wheel which seems not easy! :pilot:

Peer: bi-plane and half, with that dissimetry in colors :):)

kalizzi: yest, that's a great plane, sturdy which is a benefit for leisure flying over lanscapes!

Thanks for your comments azzaro and Larry!

 

azzaro: you're a sensualistic guy :cool::cool: And the Boeing Stearman is really a cool plane!

Larry: Burgundy you know likely is the farthest point in France to any large swath of sea. Any pulsion to land on water should belong to my past-related genes of my genome :):)
