The tour ends with a beautiful day, visibility> 200kms, no wind no clouds, it's heaven to fly. Anecdote: the attendant went to the toilet and the one who handles the material Gruter the toilet on his truck with our unfortunate attendant, they still laugh! Macon after taking off from our friends on Europilote Zephir, they are precision landing Crot again, we follow them on loan this very technical track. Re-launch training for Annecy, rising 6,000 feet, contact info and Chambery Annecy for a long final 10 nautical! After application information to a pilot of the corner we decided to go tease the Mont Blanc, the upper air is perfect, he will speak on the frequency 130.0 mountains. We redécollons Annecy, flying over the beautiful lake, the valley brings us to Megeve. My heart aches, I learned to ski here at the age of two years (skiing wooden shoe leather pulls buttock!), The area is beautiful it is 9000 feet (almost 3000 meters ) machine runs well, it is the whole chain of the Alps before us and especially the Mont Blanc, highest mountain in Europe (in fact the CM2 at what altitude it is ?), We climb slowly, the machine hums, there reigns a quiet incredible, you feel suspended, I decided to climb to 12000 feet (4000 meters), I warn Christian if one of us not feel well while you come down on, the air is rare, there is no oxygen on board, flying over the sea ice, cases, the Aiguille du Midi, we are attracted to this mountain, I decided to climb higher 13000pieds ( 4300m), we gasp: lack of oxygen and spectacle. This is the highest flight pti'cagou, he who does not fly so badly, end up so high is amazing! We go around the peak noon, the climbers to the valley seem small white ants on snowshoes! It runs down the sea ice to lose altitude, flying over Sallanches shows off Geneva and Lake Geneva, Annecy and Bourg en Bresse arrival after 2:30 flight. This is the happiest day of my life as a pilot, in fact flying over Mont Blanc is a must, it does very tired of that flight but happy and fulfilled. In the afternoon we go back to the north: a green lake in the Jura and then back down south to fly over the three valleys and Vercors. It rises to 3000 meters again it does is no turbulence. It is with Chambery transponder info, what a great invention we reported in less than 2 minutes two planes and a helicopter started converging on us whew they are avoided. Ski resorts in summer are empty, the airfield's most impressive is Courchevel. We land to 17H in Roman, the tour ends. Jean Jacques Montel, instructor took me for a ride of tilting, it's great.
The wrap party turn goes well, official speeches, moving tribute to Anthony died during the round, gold medal of the tour, the president Dominique Méreuze excels in this exercise facilitator and team leader , what charisma. They're a bunch of buddy flying seriously but do not take seriously! Linked together by the evening the prizes for the competition, we start with our cup for first place in any class at one stage. With all the problems and use of this new machine we go back satisfied. We have proudly represented the Caledonia, before leaving with our cup we offered 5 small gifts (books and calendars Caledonia: the President, the weather girl (Catherine), the head of the competition Jean Jacques, Navy, and Anthony Family: Claude and Sylvie). We end the evening Cognac with a crew of us who enjoy their cognac cut Schweppe surprising but very good.
