vintage airplane sightseeing flight

Report by Stotzer Christoph on 13.09.21

Flying a biplane has always been a dream of mine that was to come true at some point. On my 60th birthday, the time had come. My family surprised me with a biplane flight from Flight Base.
Rolf landed his Bücker at Grenchen Airport. Rolf is a really enthusiastic pilot who has had his pilot's license for 35 years. He explained the history of this legendary aircraft, which was much smaller
than I thought. Then we took off, a short taxi on the grass runway and we were airborne. The feeling of flying without being in a cabin was indescribable. The knowledge that there is only a minimum of technology, control sticks, foot pedals and 2-3 displays in the cockpit, is one of the attractions that makes this type of flying so unique.
After a few minutes of flying, Rolf left the controls of the Bücker to me, but I had a little respect. The flight took us from Grenchen via Burgdorf to Lake Thun, where he asked me if I was ready for loops and rolls. It was a really cool experience and I survived it well. I also had a very safe feeling with Rolf with his calm manner and his noticeable professionalism. After the tricks, we flew around the Stockhorn and back to Grenchen via Seeland.
It was an incredible experience that I will always remember.
Thank you so much Rolf for sharing your passion with me.
