PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE

I haven't been flying (virtually speaking of course) recently but I want to change that. I have a few flights in mind. But before I do a full flight I must practice, like anything else. So I decided to take a Lufthansa Airbus A321 from Hamburg to do some touch-and-goes at Bremen. A touch-and-go is a practice landing but instead of coming to a full stop you simply power up again and take off straight away.

Touch down for my final touch-and-go.

I didn't reliese how out of practice I was but after a few times round I soon pick it all back up and I'm ready for those flights. An interesting note about the airbus featured today is that it is a repaint of an actual Lufthansa aircraft. Its construction was feature on a German childrens program so Lufthansa put the logo of the show on the aircraft. The logo can be seen in the first picture behind the last door.
