Bleeding Ten Years After Menopa

Denmark: Bornholm and Cimber Air

God dag, dear reader, is

browse the schedules for news something I enjoy doing.

shows an interesting company in Copenhagen.
"Wings of Bornholm", a virtual airline.
The flights are carried out by the approved Avitrans Nordic in Sweden, 340 of the Saab
book is interesting enough for a quick flight in March of Ronne / Bornholm to Copenhagen.
A good friend also finds it interesting to take the flight, we look forward to two joint flights.
Another friend shows us in April, reports on the website of Bornholm's airport, which are not really positive to Wings of Bornholm, many operational Problems.
few days later we received a message that the operation on 30.04. is set.
What a surprise that days later, the full fare on my credit card account reappear.
Now I have a flight to Ronne but not a return flight to Copenhagen.
But there is another airline to fill the gap.

Here is the current cards:

The sun sets

The dark cabin

The co-pilot informed us about the weather in Stuttgart.
Not really great for this beautiful and sunny day, 14 degrees and rain.
We fly in the clouds and it can be seen for a long time nothing.
with many landing at Stuttgart's track 25 in my log, it seems to me to be very high when I see the first lights after we left the clouds.
The machine continues to lose height, then I hear the engines and we fly low over the train back into the clouds.
The second go-around, both times in Stuttgart.
The pilot reported a short time later, the approach control has kept us due to bad weather more than usual on a higher altitude. He has
then decided that it is too high for a safe landing on the path 25.
The information is considered good, I feel absolutely on the state of affairs.
We will fly a full circle and then make a second attempt.
nothing to see or to say that we fly the circuit, a very large and long circuit, so it feels.
Then we leave the clouds again much lower level now, and soon after landing on the track 25th It is 22.40 clock, are of 45 minutes became 70, but we are on time.
The weather is really bad, good that we have a finger-gate and not go into the rain.

to my car and it takes forever until I'm at home, rain, rain and more heavy rain over the entire route, unbelievable.

So that was a very interesting day around Bornholm.

Less than two weeks now until the next trip

"Contact with technical problems and the SAS Boeing 737-600"

soon, the trip
