... that happened to be today Idecided not just to drive to the supermarket, but when having finished the shopping, set course for a wide arch into the countryside that finally had me standing in front of the gates of the regional airport FMO. Stepped up the chairs to the public visitor platform, and what did I see below me, in front of the main terminal?

Nice that I always have my small digital compact camera in my rucksack.

I waited 20 minutes or so, then left. Not good. Ten minutes later while already far away from the perimeter and at the local channel again, I heared the "knatternden" motors of it behind me, and then saw the bird slowly overtaking me in a wide, comfortable sweep on my right side, and then heading away. It still was low, and if I wouldn't have had packed back the camera, I would have been able to shoot one or two screen-filling pictures of her.

Nice regional airport, btw, very relaxed and unexcited.
