On Day 2 (Sep 5, 2015) of our fly out to Annecy in the French Alps, the plan is to go for a mountain excursion. Jean Birgen arranged that we have got 5 local mountain flying instructors available. Our instructor, called Dominique, was waiting for us at the Grenoble airfield at 9am, we learned the evening in advance. So early morning of Day 2, we hurried up for breakfast and took off with our Cessna from Annecy to Grenoble, some 45 nautical miles after having refueled our plane. This short flight proved to be scenic and we landed less than an hour later (sharp at 9am) at the Grenoble (Le Vesoud) airfield. It was a good idea to have refueled in Annecy, as in Grenoble, you could only purchase fuel if you have a BP-Card and the local Chamber of Commerce operating the installation was closed that day.
