Flying Colors (1)

This weekend, the Lucca Aero club offered 15 minute flights above the city and along the Serchio river.

I couldn't pass on such an opportunity, and I really enjoyed the flight. The pilot had some fun too, with some sharp turns and a bit of (relatively) low-altitude flying.

The pictures aren't great, as I had to take them through the cockpit, but here they are anyway ;--)

The airfield is about 10 minutes from Lucca, it is signaled from the Capannori exit on the highway to Florence, and you can rent planes or gliders by the hour, with or without an instructor.
