A little late, but better late than never!!
In the summer of 2022 we visited the Billie Eilish concert in Zurich, Switzerland. (check out that video here:) • FLYING MYSELF to BILLI...
On the way back to the Netherlands we took a detour via France and made a stop in the famous coastal town of Paris Plage Le Tourquet. On the way we review this aircraft: a brilliant yellow Bristell B23, and name our pro's and con's. We stayed the night and had a wonderful croissant on the beach before returning the airplane back to the Netherlands.

It's about time. You've been MIA for too long & have deprived us of a very informative & entertaining channel. Welcome back. So far you have 6 likes & the video hasn't even aired yet. I was wondering whether you might be back in SA for the summer?

@patrickwahle6280 7 месяцев назад

Just want to mention Le Touquet is on the northern coast of France and not on the western coast. It’s not on the Ocean but on the sea. The name is Manche (English Channel).

What a great pleasure to see you / all of you again. Wonderful flight in the best weather, even if the air was sometimes bumpy. Great adventure with French flair, your loving family and the nice dog. Cool airplane, stopover to pee, the best thing is the rousing, heart-warming mood in all your videos. Many thanks for that! Always happy landings.

Great to see you back again. I am watching from New Zealand. This flight brings back memories of a flight I made (as pilot) from Toussus le Noble (Paris) tracking to Le Touqet then Clacton and on to Norwich in a Piper Seneca. And another flight where I stopped in Leylestat on my way to Italy in a Thorpe T211.

Hey Rosita, wellcome back! I missed you! Nice journey both of you took us along, so thank you for that. As always, cheers from NE Patagonia, Argentina and BTW: Marry Xmas and a HNY to you, your family and friends. I hope I see you more sooner than later.

@edwardhazelden6424 6 месяцев назад

Le Touquet is one of the closest French airports to England, so a lot of British GA pilots fly there as their first international flight and apparently the lunch is Great. Also you can't beat Masai Shukas for picnic blankets 😊

@matheo9246 6 месяцев назад

been flying to AT quite a few times ! great place to eat lunch and very friendly staff at the bike rental place ! landing fee is just a bit expensive imo

@davidsouthcott1564 7 месяцев назад

@QUICHENOTTES 7 месяцев назад

Thank you - Le Touquet (Paris Plage) is not located in the West of France but in the North ! It's not the ocean but the English Channel. Redraw the map because the Atlantic Ocean is located far and to the south.

@PocketProjects 7 месяцев назад

Great video again guys! You add such a great vibe to all of your travelogs . . . looking forward to another of your epic round the world journeys 😀🤞🏿ps . . . If you had to choose would it be the Sling or the Bristell?? 🤔

@PedroThePortuguesePilot 7 месяцев назад

Wassup everybody! So I've had the pleasure of flying this airplane as well, and I confirm all of the above. Very good performance overall but especially on climbing, gives you engine power when you need it, the interior is amazing and very up-to-date. It´s actually as good as it gets. Even though the auto-pilot doesn't include auto throttle, its still an amazing autopilot for a plane of this size and category. Very agile due to the low wing, and you get to see everything due to the glass fibre canopy. Also its got a very silent engine. Good job

@midlifeflyer 7 месяцев назад

I have flown and taught in the similar SportCruiser with the same canopy in the sun problem. There are stick on shades, but my best solution has been an in-ear headset so I can wear a big floppy hat!

@Kamikaziidare 7 месяцев назад

Welcome back, greetings from South Africa. Amazing how clear radio comms are on your channel compared to some USA channels, I’m not sure if it is just the recording or are comms generally better in RSA and Europe compared to the USA. As an ex-ATC I often think I wouldn’t cope well with such poor quality RT Comms. Next year, God willing, my wife and I move to the Western Cape near Gansbaai, you two should come visit the area again.

Sling should make composite certified planes instead of sheet and rivet kits. It's just better

@dabneyoffermein595 7 месяцев назад

Love to see you guys up in the Turbo version of the B23, perhaps you already have in another video?, but I believe the Turbo can get you to about 150 KTAS Vh

@francoduplooy4407 7 месяцев назад

That looked like loads of fun and like a nice aircraft. How does it compare to the sling?

@gordva3007 7 месяцев назад

Excellent video. Would you be able to compare the bristell vs the sling 2.

@user-rz9yg1lt9e 4 месяца назад

I have a maybe stupid question but when flying do you have to stick to a strict straight path or can you ever for example, fly through mountains or over a beach? just curious :)
