So this happened…
In order to make my trip special Elmar organised a number of surprise outings for me. One of then happened to be flying to the beginning of the Austrian Alps.
(Can you tell Elmar was a little excited!)
It was incredible.
Lukas is Elmar’s friend and neighbour, and happens to be a pilot for Austrian Airlines so I felt pretty safe in his hands.
I was fine during take off and the first 15 mins, but began to chicken out when the turbulence got bad so we turned and did a loop over the lower mountains instead. The view was stunning. Vineyards. Green rolling hills. Forrest’s of trees with orange and red leaves.
(This lasted long enough to take the photo…there was no way I was going to be in control of this plane!)

A special thank you to Elmar and Lukas for making it happen.
