I’m working mostly from home these times, and every so often the days are totally filled up with back-to-back meetings. That was also the case yesterday. During a 5 minutes break before my last meeting I realised how good the weather was. If I was quick enough, I could reach a short flight!
I didn’t think twice. The driving to my flying club is long, but my aircraft is normally prepared for a flight beforehand. I only need to do a pre-flight check, and I’m ready to go flying:
My intention was to fly over Copenhagen, and I headed in that direction. Clouds and sunlight sometimes made the beautiful views look very dramatic:
I got permission to cross Kastrup control zone which I entered from Vallensbæk. Ishøj marina and Arken museum of Contemporary Art below:
The Ellehammer VFR route above Copenhagen is spectacular:
You fly over the channel and the whole city is just in front of you:
Amager island with its red-roofed buildings:
The circular-shaped building is Tietgenkollegiet, a residence for students. I often came by when I was studying at the IT University of Copenhagen, and always thought it looked so terrible from outside. But from air it looks quite nice.
Amager power station:
Copenhagen in the sunlight:
There wasn’t much time left for more sightseeing, and I turned back to Holbæk. Marvellous sunset on my way:
The whole tour looked approximately like that:
I landed after the sunset:
It was quickly becoming dark. The night was soon going to be over us, and one more wonderful day was coming to an end. I was very happy I managed to have a flight, I enjoyed it a lot.
