Raimo,



You have a wonderful wife you lucky fellow!!

Great video of your P-51 flight.  That is one very special 1.0 in your log book.

		     Hi All,

  

 after a really neverending, very cold, dark and multisnowrich winter there  seems to be some sights finally, that the Flying Season 2011 in Finland could  start.

  

 Obviously it will be extremely hot just like last summer.

  

 I well remember once I was airborne around midnight at the flight level  FL60 and I got a sudden feeling there is something seriously wrong.

 Engine was a bit hot and somehow unpowered and I did not feel very  good.

 Finally I noticed OAT was +30C !

  

 So, it was nice to open my Europa´s refridgerator and take out some  refreshments (only juice of course – do not worry there is room available for  six cans and two of them must be after-flight beers [attachment]).

 Yes I know – the colour world is not perfect. The fridge is red but some  day it will be painted to be gold.

  

 As I stated it was not actually so fun to even think about flying in  Finland last winter.

 I got so sick that my wife forced me – a poor Europa pilot – to fly.

 you will see how it went.

  

 It has been loaded last night only some hours ago. 

 It is very Europa (Monowheel only) related.

 If you like it please press a button “I like it”.

  

 I wish you all very attractive and safe flights, with Europa or any plane  (do not fly alone, flying is very social as you well know).

  

 



Cheers, Raimo Toivio

Hello Raimo,  Good to share your experience in the P51 and also to see your family.

Is the Spitfire next?   

Greetings from Scotland,     Peter Harrod.
