From Genk-Zwartberg to Parma (Part 2): stopover in Cannes

Changing plans

There’s a lot of rain on its way to Luxembourg on this long August 15 weekend. I planned to go to a pilot’s fly-in in Kalinigrad initially and meet there with a Polish pilot, and attend an AOPA supported event, but as I fly VFR, seems not to be a good idea to go that direction due to the poor weather.

Time to work out an alternative plan as I booked the Mooney of the flying club in Genk Zwartberg for several days

As it rains on August 15th, I decided to go working  and had a long and productive day in my office with the outlook of a nice new flying adventure on August 16th.

Private flight from Luxembourg to Fayence – GDL69 failure

A hot Summer day flight

My family and me remember late July 2019 in Luxembourg for its extreme hot record temperatures of 40 degrees Celcius. I’ve booked since quite some time a Cessna 172 SP – call sign LX-AIO – at my flying club Aéro-Sport for a long weekend fly-out. I always enjoy when my wife and 9 year old son are joining me for a flight. The extreme hot weather won’t keep me from flying to the French Riviera. Arriving in the Aéro-Sport clubhouse, another pilot informs me that the plane I booked, call sign LX-AIO, has an error with the G1000.
