EHHV, 19 september 1999.
We really looked forward to this.
Our Europa performs well, very, VERY, well.
This little aeroplane is MUCH better than we could have hoped for.
A dream
came true.

Leaving everybody behind in dark and gloomy weather we're off playing in the sun :^).

Zeelenberg's immaculate Europa MKI with our Europa right behind.
Rob
accompanied us during one of our first flights. In this case a beautiful trip
above the clouds.
This Falco wanted a closer look at the strange little aeroplane that just flew past.
These
pictures were taken just before he performed a little private display. Just
for us.
(The shear joy of seeing a Europa fly makes people do strange things ;-)).
Bedankt Bert en José!
More pictures to follow... soon
