Here is a small selection of pictures from our 2001 flying trip, circumnavigating the Alps.
UK - France - Italy - Slovenia - Austria - Germany - Holland - Belgium - France - UK

 

Approaching Fayence, just North of St. Tropez
First view of the Med after crossing Alpes de Haute Provence (the foothills of the South French Alps)

Creeping around Nice airspace 20' above the Med

     

San Remo, just E of the French/Italian border  

     

Crossing the Apennines into Italy. The first real "grief" of the trip
The kind of turbulence which makes atheists pray. A taste of things to come!

     

(L to R), Hoody (with the kitty), our host Frederico, me and Dave
Near Fossano, a  private air strip owned by Frederico Vallauri, retired army helicopter pilot to the Pope

     

Fuelled and ready for off

     

From Fano to Portorož via Venice
This is Chioggia, known as Little Venice I believe

Looking North from Chioggia with the Lido di Jesolo stretching into the distance

     

Lido di Jesolo with Venice in the distance

Crossing the Adriatic into Portorož (Slovenia)
(That's the coast of Croatia in the distance)

     

Filling up at Celje (Slovenia) just prior to departing
Mercifully, the thunderstorms of the previous day had dispersed

     

Thunderstorms on the Port bow, Austrian Tyrol. (Tango Charlie in the sunbeam 11o'clock low)
