This weeks flight details:
Flying a Cub just inches above a serpentine freeway that winds through the Alps from Italy to Switzerland is both a breathtaking and perilous adventure. The low-level altitude keeps you almost grazing the asphalt, with towering alpine peaks on either side creating a dizzying sense of scale. The road beneath you twists and turns, forcing rapid adjustments as you match your flight to the winding path below.
Every moment is a test of precision, with the constant presence of overpasses and bridges requiring you to duck low or slip through narrow gaps. High-tension power lines and pylons crisscross the route, forcing you to plan ahead and stay razor-focused. One wrong move, and you’re brushing against obstacles that could bring the journey to an abrupt and devastating end.
As if that weren’t enough, the terrain offers numerous opportunities for both touch and goes and forced landings on small, challenging strips of road or dirt patches that dot the Alpine region. Each one requires supreme skill and careful judgment, as the tight spaces leave no margin for error.
The thrill that this flight delivers is an undeniable adrenaline rush, set against a backdrop of stunning natural beauty, but so is the ever-present danger, making this a trip only the bravest and most skilled pilots would dare undertake.
To add to the overall experience, we will take pot luck and fly LIVE WEATHER in this event. If the weather is too extreme, we will modify to suit.
