Best Regards OY2L / Leif
from the Faroe Islands (a small islands group in the north atlantic sea)
Hi Leif,
special new year greetings to the Faroe Islands and to you. Those islands remind me on an experience having gained during flying time. A long range astro-navigational flight was planned from our base (near Hannover, Germany) all the way up to the Faroe Islands. Take-off was scheduled for 18:00 GMT. I warned that the crew won't see any star, but chasing the sun all the way up North and slightly West in midsummer. So it was!
Six hours of flying time without any change in the sky. Wasted time and wasted fuel.
