Flatlandflying

Since I came back from Italy it wasn’t flyable where I live. The next problem is that I need to drive for 120 km from Warsaw to the next flying site. It wasn’t like that before. My home airport was Chrcynno near to Nasielsk north of Polish capital, which is just 15 km airline from my grandmother’s summerhouse. It was very practical. I use to stand up in the morning, was looking in the sky and I knew if I should do myself on the way to fly or not. Many people from Warsaw where coming there for the weekend so it was quite big family with barbeque at evenings, if there wasn’t excellent xc wetter. Now airspace for planes is increasing and there was a plan to create new airport for budget flights. CTR was created and we are not aloud to use our airport any longer. So as I already said we need to go further if we want to fly.

Flying in Australia made me missing flatland flying. It’s nice if one do not think about lee sides, valley wind systems and so on. Just take off and go so far as you want. There is usually no problem with landing too. I would like to show you some pictures I made years ago (so sorry for quality) of my 3 favorite places to fly in the flats.

Chrcynno:

On the pictures you see big green space – it is airport

The lace behind is Zalew Zegrzynski

Borsk

This airport is on the side of Bory Tucholskie forest. So in some directions you have only forest for many km. I was lucky and I had never flown in to that directions. On another side of the airport you have a lake so if it’s not flyable we use to go sail or swim. By the way: this is the place where Kacper Kowalski made his 220 km internationally discussed flight 3 years ago.

This is part of Bory Tucholskie

This river is Wistula.

Ones I spend one summer in Kowary and we use to go to soar on the coast in Rewal. Unfortunately wind is not always good to fly there but I was lucky and spend some nice soaring days up there.
