Partir une semaine en famille… en avion

Partir une semaine en famille… en avion

Commentaires 1 commentaire

Un projet que je chérissais depuis plusieurs années s’est réalisé à l’été 2019. Pour nos vacances d’été en famille de 2019, je souhaitais retravailler le projet de partir en vacance tous ensemble à bord d’un avion léger. Ce fût une mission accomplie avec beaucoup de plaisir pour tous! J’ai usée plusieurs fois de ruse avec mes enfants pour les attirer en avion.

I’ve spent many hours listening to Joe tell me about his fun trips he had in his Cessna 170, either by himself, with friends, his family or his youngest boy who himself became a pilot.

For a second year in a row, I had the pleasure of joining a friend of mine for a long cross country flight from Ottawa (Ontario, Canada) to Oshkosh (Wisconsin, US) in July 2016. In 2015, my first year at the annual EAA AirVenture, I wrote about my stay there for one week, and…

Commentaires 4 commentaires

Last September marked my first participation in the Rockcliffe Air Rally. Organised by the Rockcliffe Flying Club which I became a member in march of this same year. This rally was intended for the members of the flying Club as well as their friends and family. On the ground, you had to figure out some clues to be used to draw out the route to fly in the Ottawa region. Fortunately, so you don’t get lost nor cause any mid-air…
