Location still to be decided :lol:

Will be north of Rome, and will be near enough to Venice for who wants to pop in.

Possibly sunbathing at the sea, or cruising on a lake, maybe relaxing in the countryside, possibly admiring fast cars.

Still working on the intinery :wink:

I know it was a long time ago .........BUT............Elba is ruddy expensive :shock:
We dropped in there for a looksee in 2001 and the fuel was truly eye wateringly astronomically expensive. The landing fee was not as smarting on the eyes, but was way more costly than the usual.
Yes - It has to import its fuel, but so does Alderney !!!
It's a shame that such a lovely destination is basically remembered by this soul, for it's high aeronautically associated costs. :cry:

In essence.........
Nice place to go - Yes
Interesting approach/departure.- Yes
Friendly People - Yes
Scenery - Nice

Best option for cheap fuel for Elba is to drop in to Corsica first, it's only a short flight - either Bastia (36nm from Elba) or Calvi (66nm)

As of June 2017 landing for a sub 1000kg single at Calvi was around €25 and Avgas €1.80

Depending whatever else happens, we may well be in Calvi for a day or so first...

My flying is currently limited due to a health issue, but I have blocked off the dates in my diary and will keep fingers crossed that I am back in the air by June.

Looks good to me. I've overflown Elba but never landed there.
