What a great pleasure to see you / all of you again. Wonderful flight in the best weather, even if the air was sometimes bumpy. Great adventure with French flair, your loving family and the nice dog. Cool airplane, stopover to pee, the best thing is the rousing, heart-warming mood in all your videos. Many thanks for that! Always happy landings.

Just want to mention Le Touquet is on the northern coast of France and not on the western coast. It’s not on the Ocean but on the sea. The name is Manche (English Channel).
@edwardhazelden64249 ай бұрын
Le Touquet is one of the closest French airports to England, so a lot of British GA pilots fly there as their first international flight and apparently the lunch is Great. Also you can't beat Masai Shukas for picnic blankets 😊

And another flight where I stopped in Leylestat on my way to Italy in a Thorpe T211.

Thank you - Le Touquet (Paris Plage) is not located in the West of France but in the North ! It's not the ocean but the English Channel. Redraw the map because the Atlantic Ocean is located far and to the south.

Wassup everybody! So I've had the pleasure of flying this airplane as well, and I confirm all of the above. Very good performance overall but especially on climbing, gives you engine power when you need it, the interior is amazing and very up-to-date. It´s actually as good as it gets. Even though the auto-pilot doesn't include auto throttle, its still an amazing autopilot for a plane of this size and category. Very agile due to the low wing, and you get to see everything due to the glass fibre canopy. Also its got a very silent engine. Good job

Welcome back, greetings from South Africa. Amazing how clear radio comms are on your channel compared to some USA channels, I’m not sure if it is just the recording or are comms generally better in RSA and Europe compared to the USA. As an ex-ATC I often think I wouldn’t cope well with such poor quality RT Comms. Next year, God willing, my wife and I move to the Western Cape near Gansbaai, you two should come visit the area again.
