Returning to flying
After 7 months away from the aircraft
After one of my biggest trips in General Aviation, probably the most technically challenging I’ve ever flown, I elected to take a winter break. Now and then, it’s nice to take a break from flying, save up money, and participate in other things in life.
For me, it’s a period where I can catch up on editing and blog writing to share with you all. As my planned winter break began, the aircraft experienced an incident that required replacement parts before it could fly again. This was extremely frustrating news, but I was in much need of a reboot, a break, and some time away from flying, so not keeping current till the new year would be perfectly fine.
Ibiza 2024
Ibiza, Balearic Islands, Spain
Maybe it’s the sunny beaches, great food and the unforgettable parties. Maybe it’s the challenge of a long flight across multiple countries, involving a variety of weather systems, local policies and procedures. Whatever it is, it will get you coming back for another flight to Ibiza.
This is exactly what Robbie’s done on this trip, a second GA flight to and from Ibiza, following his first in 2023, but this time with a whole new set of conditions and challenges ahead, as well as myself packed into the right seat beside him.
While I won’t quite be able to match Robbie’s expertise and charm, I hope my contribution will provide you with an enjoyable read, telling you about this flight from a different perspective.
