🛩️ 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

🐰 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.

🛩️ 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

🛩️ 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

⛅ 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.

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!
