Nordish by nature-flying from EDHF
Family time in Northern Germany-usually no time to escape for a quick flight and if there is the Northern weather is against me…but this time all works out: blue skies, 33 degrees, a C172 and flight instructor Olli available to hit the skies! Previously a military air field Hungriger Wolf is now home to pilots near Itzehoe and conveniently located about 30 minutes drive of the town I grew up.
From EDHF we head South West for a few minutes: no way I can fly here without getting a few shots of my old playing grounds and family houses!
From here we fly IFR-follow the river- to get me is to the Northern Sea. The sun is glittering in the retreating sea, displaying tidal creeks and putting big happy smiles on our faces.
Further North we head: flying over the field St Peter Ording heading to Husum. “The grey town near the sea” does not at all look grey and boring but rather nice: harbour, castle and the green park right in the middle, famous for its colourful crocus displays in spring. And again….and airport nearby to go on our to do list for the next visit!
Much too soon it is time to head back. However, another flight is booked in two days time and I know I will be counting the days! Why did I wait for this so long?
