Ready to leave Switzerland
Well, we’re ready to leave.
How to tell that you are in Switzerland
For an Australian, there are a number of differences that one notices when spending time here in Switzerland.
Lucerne Travelogue
A few days ago we spent an afternoon/evening in Lucerne, not far away from Stans.
Here are some photos that I took while we were there. It is a city with a deep and rich history.
First Flight in VH-TCP
Today was my first flight in my new PC-12 🙂
For reasons related mostly to insurance coverage before the ferry flight, I was ‘riding shotgun’ on this flight, watching from just behind Pete and Jan (a Pilatus factory/test pilot).

First Look at VH-TCP
This morning was time for the pleasant experience of my first look at my new plane.
The Swiss Chocolate Dilemma
Monday morning at the Pilatus factory, and time for a first world problem.
Switzerland Arrival
We got to Stans, in Switzerland today (Sunday 19th August), a process that took around 30 hours from when we started in Adelaide.
(NOT) Using flightaware.com to follow progress
Update to the below – it looks like flightaware does not track private flights in the European region. I had hoped it’d work, because it does work for private IFR flights in Australian just fine. It’ll start working when we are back near Australia again.
Oh well!
