Zurich Airport News
EHM-1465 Dominic:
If any of you were in any doubt that Switzerland is one of the finest venues for flying, then this weekend those doubts will be blown away ! ;)
On Saturday 14th and Sunday 15th July the Red Bull Air Race visits Interlaken :P
So if any of you fancy showing off your aerobatic ability to an eager crowd, fly down to LSMI - just don't bend any of our expensive fleet PLEASE ;D
Full details of the races are available here.
There's always something new at Zurich !

Watch this space.

Fantastic Sotiris! Can't wait to see them... :P
EHM-1465 Dominic:
Sotiris - did you make it to the race..? I'd love to see any pictures you may have taken...:P

Well guys,
thanks to 'car-hating' (in wise Clarkson's words) Switzerland I managed to miss it.
The reason being a total 4 and half hours worth of queueing in traffic over a 100km route.
The good people of Switzerland always choose the Summer period (the closer to August the better) to do all their major roadworks to happily coincide with the rest of Europe travelling down to Italy and its ferry ports. (I came across half Germany, 80% of the Netherland, a thirds of Belgium etc.)
Well done. What's more extraordinary is that the crowd was less than a third of what was expected. News Story
I'd hate to think what would happen if they got the full 140'000 people they were expecting. Needless to say there was absolutely no parking space in a radius of 10 miles whatsoever.
Switzerland looks like is only for the quiet folk enjoying their walks in the mountains and has permanently parted company with any even remotely adrenaline-rushing activity. 'Ve love ze countryzide and ze environment here. Ve do not like noize and zese vulgar noisy sings'
Sorry for my rantings but my frustration has yet to subside. I could find a parking sport for the Monaco grand prix and they couldn't sort something decent out?
Anyway, for piccies visit the official site:
