Had the opportunity to park my DA40 next to the Grand Old Lady. Till end of June, we have the whole Breitling Fleet operating out of (my) airport. Unfortunately the Super Conctellation take not part of the event this year. They had an engine failure during flight training and need to replace the engine, that’s why they are grounded till August. A new engine is ordered at Anderson Aeromotive Inc USA.
A side to the DC3 is the Jet Team with 9 Albatross L39, 4 Pitts, 2 Stearmean Wing Walkers, a Buecker Biplane, Niggel Lamp with his MX7 and a MD900 Helicopter on site. All planes doing daily passenger flights with the Breitling guests from all continents.
Regards from Buochs

Re: Grand Old Lady and DA40
Thomas - ha! Looks like you and the B1 are lined up for a drag race. Who won? I bet you were quicker off the ground.
Too bad you are not painted in stealth grey also....

Re: Grand Old Lady and DA40
Hello Thomas...what a pleasant surprise to see you posting here. (We met at your airport last Thursday when I flew in from Germany with a friend in D-ENES! What a small world.
