When Kim and I took off from EKML, our plan was to fly over the Møns Klint and back home. We were aware of the fact that METAR was constantly changing between VFR and IFR, and the forecast was tempo bkn008.
I know Kim from my time as a glider pilot in EKGL; Kim was my instructor, and also a tow aeroplane pilot – he took me up to the skies many times. For about a year ago, Kim invited for a terrific flight over Copenhagen by night, after which I promised to invite on a flight in an ultralight. And it is not easy to find the time where two persons can, to be lucky to book the club aircraft, and to have the weather. Kim is often busy with training for his annual Ironman Triathlon races, I don’t sit much at home either, so we were glad we could finally get airborne together:
It was fairly cloudy, so we headed for Holbæk first, to check out how the weather was there. It was much worse around Holbæk:
We could see, the weather was considerably better up north, abandoned our plan to see the Møns Klint from air, and headed north:
The port of Hundested:
We flew by the coast of North Zealand, and enjoyed the views:
The city of Hornbæk and its harbour:
Beautiful cumulus clouds formations called “cloud streets” embellished the clear blue skies:
Kim and I did a couple of rounds over Helsingør:
Took loots of pictures of the Kronborg Castle:
Then flying by the Fredensborg Castle, the Danish Royal Family’s spring and autumn residence:
My favourite Frederiksborg Castle, located in Hillerød:
And back home, under the cloud mass:
We felt the temperature drop, when we left the sunny part of Zealand. The visibility was very good, and we could clearly see not only Copenhagen, but also the southern coast of Sweden:
Finally a couple of hours in the air, and some of that time in the sun!
