Annecy – Orange

It was time to continue the trip after a long stay in Annecy. I headed for southwest flying on the mountain valleys. As my navigation skills had got bit rust, the journey went over several mountain ridges instead of vallyes only. Eventually the Alps started to be behind and the landscape started to look less breath-taking. It was time to look for an airfield. Valreas Visan airport near Orange, France, looked like a peaceful place to land, but unfortunately the speed was too high for a touchdown after deep descending from the mountains. Fortunately there was Plan-de-Dieu Airport (LF51 / 8422) nearby, and I managed to land there.
