As I mentioned in my previous post, I managed to mount my camcorder on 56NE yesterday and record my flight up to Hautefort. The flight lasted for an hour but to start off with, I’ve just made a short video of the take off and landing that can be viewed by clicking on the following image, to show what it’s like flying at Galinat.
I’ll need to make some improvements to the mount because there was a bit too much vibration that affected the quality, but that can come later. For now, I’m just pleased to have at last managed to get a flying video together after all this time!

Yup, things couldn’t have worked out much better really, after the initial set-backs. It’s not for the faint-hearted as it’s not very wide and slopes quite a bit. Also, it can get a little bit turbulent at times over the little valley that you have to go over when landing, but once you get used to it it’s OK. If ever you’re down this way you must drop in. It’s PPR, but only because visitors need to know the relevant details of the strip and the local area for safety reasons. But as the owner doesn’t really speak any English all you’d need to do is contact me and I’d be able to lay on fuel, transport etc as the strip’s in a very rural location 🙂

I updated the details in the above link so they’re right up to date
nice video, great little strip you have there
Cheers Les, nice to hear from you. Almost! It’s clover, lots and lots of it 🙂
Very good, nice to see the sun. Is the runway carpeted with daisies?
