No airplanes to photograph today in CNL. Actually, there was an ultralight practicing touch-and-goes, but I don't think I managed to bag any decent photos. Still, I had a pair of barn swallows to keep me company. They built a nest under the airport building's roof, and I watched them flying to and fro. At some point, they got pretty curious about me and sat on a fence studying yours truly. I think they (correctly) decided that I posed no threat, so they went about their business and didn't mind me.

I bought a Skådis pegboard from IKEA, 3D printed feet and hooks, and now I can have my modest collection of Aviationtags on display. It's actually only half of all the Aviationtags I have. I use the rest as luggage tags.

I spent this Monday in AAL, photographing airplanes. I enjoyed it very much. (Sorry about the reflections in the snapshot above).

Before we left Germany, I stocked up on aviation-related books, including the depicted one. The plan was to read them during dreary autumn and winter days when I'm unable to go out and photograph airplanes. While Danish spring leaves a lot to be desired, it's not really dreary. And yet, I couldn't resist the temptation of taking a peek. It's a decent book, with plenty of photographs. The information is on the light side, though.

This morning, I hastily packed coffee and a sandwich and biked to CNL. This time, I planted myself on the airside. It has been a busy day. First, I captured a visitor from Czechia (reg. OK-DUD22) and had a chat with its owner. Then I gawked at skydivers from the local skydiving club (and photographed their Cessna TU206G Turbo Stationair reg. D-EFKX). Later, I photographed a Tecnam P2002JF Sierra (reg. OY-MJE) making a flying visit (hah!), and I ended my day with a handful of photos of a Piper Cherokee Warrior (reg. OY-BLO).

On the topic of vintage airline postcards, we found these two in an antique store in Paris. They weren’t cheap, but these were originals, not reprints.

It was sunny but rather windy today. So after an exhausting bike ride in 7m/s head winds, I sought shelter in the flight club, perusing past issues of FLYV. I worked my way through 1970s issues, and, boy, it was a fun ride back in time. Just check out this vintage Airbus A300B ad!
