🛩️ Someone sent me this photo of my approach to #EDMD! 🤩 Nice to have outside pics of the #Sperling #SF23 while #flying! 🛬 #avgeek #aviation #taildragger #Spornrad #aircraft #Flugzeug #pilot #PilotsLife #PlanePacking

Aircraft from below in final approach. Blue sky with some high little clouds. Trees can be seen at the bottom.

🏕️ After a good sleep in my #hammock and the cool shadows of the forest on the #Peißenberg I had a swim in a too small, too warm and too murky little lake I spotted the day before. 🏖️ Then I flew back home. 🛩️ #avgeek #aviation #PlanePacking #camping #nature #Natur #flying #fliegen #pilot #EDMO 😎 Ah, and I tramped the way back to #EDPZ airfield! 👍 #HitchHiking

Little lake from above... photo from yesterday.

View of Ammersee (and Pilsensee and Wörthsee). Bay of Herrsching.

Home bitter-sweet home! Oberpfaffenhofen Special Airport from above through the windshield.

🎶 "Grüne Sonne" #electro #festival! 😎 I'll stay overnight and fly back home tomorrow! 🛩️ #avgeek #aviation #music #PlanePacking #alps #Bavaria #Germany #mountains #Berge #Peißenberg

🛩️ Short but beautiful weekend trip with #Sperling has begun! #Cycling to the #airport and then a short #flight to #Paterzell. 😎 I'll be going to #GrüneSonne #electro #festival on #Hohenpeißenberg later! 🎶 #SF23 #avgeek #aviation #EDMO #EDPZ #taildragger #Spornrad #PlanePacking #Mastobikes

Bike with some carelessly mounted luggage on small road in between green fields and beneath blue sky with clouds.

Festival ground on Hohenpeißenberg still mostly empty.

🛩️ Trattoria Volare at Airfield Rothenburg o.d.T.! 🍕 "POB - Pizza on board: 23 - Coming in hot!" 😎 #aviation #avgeek #PlanePacking #Sperling #SF23 #taildragger #Spornrad #food #PilotsLife #pilot

A lot of pizza boxes in small aircraft. In luggage department and on copilot seat. Also some salads and pasta.

🪂 Springerlager in Bad Windsheim! 🥳 Anreiseflugzeuge und Absetzmaschine. 🛩️ Leider "nur" eine 182er und nicht die #Do27 🥲 ...und eine Affenhitze 🥵 #avgeek #aviation #skydive #Fallschirmspringen #Spornrad #taildragger #PlanePacking #pilot #PilotsLife #Cessna #Sperling #Groppo

Zwei Spornradflieger, ein paar Wohnmobile und Zelte.

Cessna 182 früh morgens und eine Gleitschirmfliegerin beim Groundhandling auf der Piste.

🛩️ I made it! Took off at #EDPW with officially 346m of grass #runway! 🛫 I always hesitated and cancelled that visit in my former #Katana #DV20 years, but with #Sperling and its #STOL capabilities I could finally go for it! 🥳 No wind, ~680kg and 27°C. 🌤️ That feeling racing towards that crop field and passing the point of no return just for the sake of some scribbled calculations is so thrilling! I love it! I'm alive! 🤘 #AvGeek #aviation #PilotsLife #SF23 #PPL #taildragger #Spornrad #PlanePacking

Clipped airport description chart, showing a north to south runway with 346 x 40 meters. Not in screenshot: field elevation of 577 m (1.892 ft)

Excerpt from actual manual of aircraft. A table telling me that 240m is the take off run for a field with 500m elevation and the aircraft loaded with 660kg overall weight. It's for standard temperature at 15°C so I have to add like 1% for every degree until 27°C actual temperature.

Screenshot of Google satellite view and a measurement showing about 400m when using the strips of grass between runway and road and the field

@wohtefak In der Tat. 🌞 Und ich hab mal wieder einen Sprung aus der Ladeklappe machen können! 🪂🤙 Juuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhuuuu!!! 😎 Dann noch die Freunde in #BadWindsheim besucht und danach den #Sperling ins "Osterlager*" nach #Herzogenaurach gestellt! Ich bin jetzt auch bei Verwandtschaft. 🐰 Jetzt kann der Hase kommen! #avgeek #aviation #skydive #Fallschirm #Pink #SkyVan #PlanePacking #SF23 #Spornrad #taildragger *Osterlager: Wir haben 25er, Avionik und kein Dach überm Kopf!

Boarding! Skydiver steigen in die SkyVan ein.

🐰 My lil' #Easter trip is starting slow: pulling my #skydive gear from the #bus stop up to the #airfield... Then loading everything into the (freshly cleaned) #Sperling and hopping over to #Rothenburg o.d. Tauber where there's #Pink #SkyVan in action! 🛩️ I plan for one #jump! 🪂 #avgeek #aviation #AeroSpace #skydive #Fallschirmspringen #flying #fliegen #taildragger #SF23 #SC7 #PilotsLife #PlanePacking #outdoor #draußen #sports #Sport #Alpen #Berge #alps #mountains #clouds #Wolken #EDMJ #EDFR

🛩️ #Flying instead of cleaning! 🫣 #Sperling and I have a new home for the #weekend! 🏔️ #Mountain panorama of the #Alps seen from #Paterzell is gorgeous! 🤩 Tomorrow will be a great day of #skydiving! 🪂 #aviation #avgeek #skydive #taildragger #SF23 #EDPZ #nature #Natur #Berge #Alpen #outdoor #draußen #PilotsLife #PlanePacking

Dirty aircraft parked in front of mountain panorama under a blue evening sky

🛩️ Still pretty cold for yesterday's flight! 🥶 Tried to warm up #Sperling by abusing a gas powered radiant heater for camping! 😆 Despite the mostly sunny weather, views weren't so impressive. But look who took off before me! 🤩 #avgeek #aviation #Dornier #Seastar #CD2 #FlyingBoat #Amphibian #SF23 #taildragger #PlanePacking #pilot #PilotsLife #EDMO #EDMJ #EDQH

Open cowling of Sperling with radiant heater tucked in.

Dornier Seastar at holding point alpha runway 04. I'm number two. Another plane (Aquila) landing.

Ground from inflight: towns, forests, fields. Some snow inbetween.

🛩️ Ahh, so nice! Finally in the air again. ☺️ My new year's flight went great! 🥳 #Sperling was at maintenance and is now home again. 🔧 Strong winds, runway 22. Soooo... perfect "blind landing" as you obviously can't see anything against the sun through that old windshield. 😅🙈 "#VFR" #aviation #avgeek #taildragger #EDMO #SF23 #Spornrad #pilot #PilotsLife #PlanePacking

View from the plane, below left wing. Great weather. Above Ammersee (Lake Ammer) and the Alps in the background.

View from plane to the left again. Setting sun above Lake Starnberg.

⛅ Weather... that's one thing. But this?! Goddddammmnit! 🤬 What's wrong with those guys?! Arrrrgh, I need my own fucking airfield! 🛩️ If my life were a movie, I would just land there, whether they want me to or not. But, spoiler: it's not. 🥺 It's #rules, bloody ruuuules! 🤘#EDMO #aviation #avgeek #pilot #flying #planepacking

Screenshot of internal memo posted today at 14:43, saying the airfield is closed tomorrow.

🛩️ Some impressions of #Sperling #SF23 yesterday in #EDMT #Tannheim. Another nice flight as part of my #CRI training. 🤩 #avgeek #aviation #PilotsLife #PlanePacking #TailDragger #Spornrad

Friends: Hey, come to that #concert!
People: Take train, go directly to concert.
Me: Grab phone, ask around, take #bicycle to airfield, get on #Sperling #aircraft, wait until fellow pilot is overhead #ETHA, jump out, touch down, ask for beer, ask for rideshare, arrive on time at concert! 🎸🎶
Life is an adventure, if you make it one!

🛩️ Thanks to #Skydive #Altenstadt for letting me invade their #Dropzone #Paratrooper style! 🪂😆

🛩️🛩️ Perfect time for a #sunset #formation flight! ☺️ #avgeek #aviation #PlanePacking #PilotsLife Dornier #DO27 #Sperling #SF23 #rainbow #clouds #EDMO #EDPZ No inflight photos. 🤷 ...the beauty is burned into my mind only! 🤩

View from Sperling to Do27, also on the taxiway. Runup. Rainbow above airport facilities.

🛩️ Flight back was a piece of cake. But wheels threw up a lot of dirt during take off run at Schweinfurt-Süd special airfield. #avgeek #aviation #EDFS #PIlotsLife #PlanePacking #taildragger #SF23 #Sperling

Parking position at EDFS special airfield.

View from airplane after take off in the morning. Dirt on wing.

🏕️🛩️ Wir sind schonmal da; morgen kommen dann die Erstspringer zum Einweisungssprung! 🪂🤘 Paterzell!!!
