Post 10: Corfu





I'll let the pics speak for themselves today. They include: the wild and wooly mountains of Albania; the sentinel GPS/display; crossing the border from Italy to Greece in superb visibility at 5500 feet; runway 17 at Corfu (LGKR); and Chocolate Charlie with the Greek flag in the background. Wonderfully helpful and relaxed flying. And Air Traffic Control and ground support in Greece couldn't be more helpful by the way. True, Avgas is limited and you have to fly special VFR routes or under airways but the sunny disposition of the Greeks makes it all very laid-back. Here's Greek AOPAs excellent FAQ:  http://www.aopa.gr/en/infosdetails.asp?NEWS_ID=1

Tomorrow 378nm to Heraklion in Crete. I'm off for a pizza and a glass of ouzo.
