26.01.2014:  It’has been a lousy winter so far with respect to flying. I have not been in the air since the 31st December. We’ve had hardly any snow, so the runway would be flyable, but the weather has been foggy or stormy or rainy every day.

I’ve started looking at possible destinations for fly-aways for this year. The problem is that the list is already longer than the number of weekends. High on my agenda are Denmark/Sweden, Prague and Italy,. I have however also read that the UK SportCruiser community is planning a trip to Luxembourg, which would probably be a good opportunity to meet some of the guys I have had e-mail contact with over the years. As usual what is possible will also depend on my job, especially as we are running a series of tests with a test train in August / September, and that happens usually at nights on weekends to get track access.
