Great view right at the end of the runway. The fliers arrive directly at a landing. For one or the other, it might be a bit loud.

Quickly use the wonderful air after work..... Quickly up onto the gravel. And shoot around the airport. Not far but very fast for a gravel tour. For my conditions. I wish you a great week.....
