Take off
I am an aviation nut. I still can dream away hearing stories about Amelia Earhart and have fantasies being an aviation pioneer.
Off course, reality placed me a little later in time. So no chances for me here.
Turning right from rwy 30 (Photo RV)But I am learning to fly el cheapo as a member of a soaring club, anyway. I filmed the take off for an 'overland' training flight with a Touring Motor Glider. Our goal was to fly to Aero club Salland with a True Track of about 030 degrees and locate it. Then I had to navigate to the river IJssel and south to Zutphen and locate Terlet from there without using a map or GPS. Altitude had to be 600 meters (+20/-20) with an indicated airspeed of 150 km/hrs (+5/-5).
