An amazing escuse for an amazing flight – Part I


If we take a look at my logbook now, you’ll see that I’ve flown more hours than the average French pilot—all without ever being in France. How is that possible?

An Idea From China


It all started with an invitation I received in Shanghai—a wedding invitation. My friends invited me to attend their wedding… In France.

If you’ve read my previous articles, you’ll know I’ve flown to many parts of France—just never to the northeast. It’s a long way from where I usually fly, but the wedding is in Strasbourg! What better excuse to finally make the trip?

Crossing the river Channel with a private plane: DONE


I am back!!

Wow, it’s been a while! This story actually unfolded back in the summer of 2016. Life has taken me to China since then, and so much has happened that I never got around to finishing the write-up—or editing the video.

But better late than never, right? Let’s dive back in!

Two pilots lost in the south of France

Yes, I know! The article about my last trip in England hasn’t been published yet! And the video neither. So, why am I starting to write an article about my last trip in the south of France ??? EASY, because, I have already started to write the article about England trip… but after several months, I forgot the most part of details.

Flying is a passion. We could have two ways to fly: the first one is to go to another place. The second one is to fly just to fly. In a first way, flying alone or not is not a big deal. At that instance, it is just flying such as you would drive to your mother-in-law place. Of course, because you like flying, you enjoy that instance. But the motivation of this flight is after the flight: your mother-in-law place. In the second case, you want to fly just for flying. It is not necessary to fly into another place. The motivation of this flight… is this flight itself. Maybe sometimes you want to fly alone, but in this kind of flight, you just would rather share this hobby! So, on Monday, 6th I sent a message to all members of my flight club. I got an answer :).
