Album 2001

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

People from ALL walks of life fly microlights.
Some people spend more on a television set than it costs to learn to fly!
This time next year YOU could be flying trips like this yourself.
