Today, Frank Versteegh took dutch judoka Dennis van der Geest to the skies in his Extra EA-300/L, based at Teuge (EHTE).
The cause for his action was STIVORO's challenge to quit smoking for 24 hours. Dennis faced his greatest fear (flying in an aerobatics plane) as a way of returning a favour to all people trying to stay off the cigarettes for one day. More info can be found at STIVORO's website.
Frank took off at 11 o'clock, but I was just in time to see this nice bird taking off before him:

2 Lots of folks trying to interview Frank and Dennis
3 Even CQC's Pieter was there
4 Dennis is still having fun

8 You could see him thinking to himself: thank God, the landingstrip!
The CQC camera guy told us Dennis' interview will be broadcasted next friday, for those interested.
Regards,
Niek

Forum rules
This is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum. Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post. In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.). Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so. |

@ Leeuwarden:
Dennis really seemed glad to be on solid ground again!
But hey, if you can laugh after CQC questions, you're fine...
@ Roy
Hi Roy, did you stay behind the fence of Take-Off? I didn't notice anyone taking photo's from there, but maybe I was to busy.
@ Kleintje Pils
Thanks mate! Can't wait going to Volkel! Talk to you soon...
