My second trip to France, this time with a friend from the Cessna Group I'm in. Unfortunately we couldn't use our own aircraft as it was seriously damaged in a Birdstrike incident a couple of weeks previous.
I love flying along coastlines and this flight down the coast of Britanny is one of my favourites

A thoroughly enjoyable flying experience. Nearly everyone we met in France was polite and helpful. Looking forward to my next trip.
