The Mining Camp That Runs Like a Small City

In May of 2018 I bought this beautiful glider from France. Still wearing it’s french registration, the glider and I took off for a nice flight. The summer of 2018 was extremely dry, which can clearly be seen when you look at the grass of the airfield.
I thoroughly enjoyed flying the glider for about 2 hours, during which I visited my house and some beautiful landmarks in the area such as rivers, canals and locks. 

After landing I just had to take a picture, since the glider already feels like a new friend that you just know you’re going to have good times with.
