I very much hope that her tuition does not involve GPS for the rating!

Not buying GPS, just borrowing the system. :))

Europe this time. Our flying rate is something like 35-45% above 2019's rate. And that was busy!
I've done the same amount of flying now than I did in all of 2021. (Admittedly I was doing a lot of CRM duties). We need another 90-100 pilots and recruiting opens soon. (EASA licence only)

Out and about last week. Mainly south of France and some weather. Did pop into the Swiss Alps too.

Not a lot of snow left. Our famous Finnish TRE on his retirement tour and I blag a ride home in a Latitude.

Some really nice photo's and very interesting to see the obvious cabin luxury of the Latitude.

I trust you weren't tempted to avail yourself of the bar, given you were having a busman's (sorry buswoman's) holiday, and mix yourself an "old fashioned" like the pilot did in It's a Mad Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World! ;)))

What corporate aircraft types do you normally fly?

Nah, it was only a 30 min flight and I had to drive afterwards :)
I'm on the Bombardier Challenger 350. :)

That was my first stab in view of Reddo's 'routes' but the topo is wrong.

Nup. Not Sion. Not the Swiss Alps this time, the Italian Alps. :)

OK - with that clue, it's Bolzano, innit? Looks like a 'frequent' for you.

Nup. 2nd time I've been there in 17 years. I go to Sion far more often. I've been to Lugano a few more times than Bolzano.
