We visited the city of Turku in west Finland yesterday with the OH-PRT Piper Lance aircraft flown by Ilkka Koho from MIK. The weather was perfect for aviation, and the snowy Finnish countryside looked beautiful.

Thanks to Ilkka and Tuomas for inviting us!

Nummijärvi Fly-in

On saturday we flew to the Nummijärvi Fly-In meeting with the Alpha-Yankee C172. Very interesting event arranged on a airport built on lake ice, I even got on a short spin in a Morane Rally. Tigert has again a bunch of pictures.

I had another solo travel flight last weekend, this time with Cessna 152 OH-CWM on route Helsinki - Hanko - Turku - Helsinki. Especially the flight over the Turku archipelago was really nice.

I had my first flying lesson yesterday. We went to the Helsinki-Malmi airport with Kerttu in the morning to fly with the simulator, and to listen for the MIK flight training briefing. I had booked the first flight for tuesday, but surprisingly there was a cancellation and my instructor agreed to take me for a spin.
