🛩️ 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.

My contribution to #SilentSunday is this collection of #aviation #taildragger images from a past trip to Sullivan Lake, Washington with the RAF. Very well attended, lots of Aviat Huskys, a Bearhawk, and one cherry vintage Aeronca.

I flew up with my friend Turbo Harry in his immaculate #Cessna T210. And yes, I forgot to pack my tent, so I slept with one eye open under a picnic table in Bear Country, USA.

🛩️ 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

🪂 That was a nice jump! Also because the #Skydive #Pilot wanted to show me the #PA18 he flies in his free time... which we happened to see in midair during ascent to dropping altitude and had a little intermission formation flight! 🛩️ I'll see if I get some fellow #skydiver's action cam footage... but I could see the #Cub on the ground afterwards anyway. #AvGeek #aviation #taildragger #Spornrad

🛩️ #Sperling dropped by at #Skydive "Colobri". I bought a new slider keeper at #MindFly rigging and am looking forward to do a #jump from the #Porter here. Really nice mood at this place. Fingers crossed for my take-off later... #avgeek #aviation #SF23 #PC6 #EDPW #taildragger #Spornrad

Sperling parked in front of Porter.

🐰 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
