A long time and many flight hours ago I made my first solo. If you look closely at the building with the barricades you can just make out my instructor as he watches me in the pattern.

Plane is default FSX Piper Cub. The airport is Courchevel France and the Scenery can be downloaded here at SIMV.

Thanks!

And who said pilots are smart! LOL!

It's a great place to practice your short field, high altitude, mountain flying techniques!

Lovely shot, shame that the edge of the wing is cut off though.
Definitely a contender for the finalists I think.

I rather think God would have noticed there's a horizontal scroll bar on the picture... so in fact the wing hasn't been cut off at all. Grin
