Second flight of 2013... Low clouds opened up in the late afternoon making for gorgeous flying conditions with a wonderful winter sunset contrasting the deep freeze of January. Jan 13th, 2013 just before sunset, -5 degrees Celsius, 28 minute...
It was quite windy day from the morning. I was surprised, that sun and wind opened sky very late. First flight we flew about 200ft AGL at the beginning...
There we had all there: nice weather, nice XC flight, landing at "new airport" for me and adrenaline too. My friends engine stopped and he had an emergency landing at field.
