This was at Uetersen, EDHE. That's just to the west of Hamburg. We'd love to welcome you here anyway! :-)

Thanks for the kind words! I'll try to make some more fotos in future! I don't have many other interesting ones of today. Most of them are very similar to those I already posted as I tried to get a new profile-pic for facebook and took lots of shots of myself.
Maybe this one: You can see the -0.5Gs and 3Gs I had pulled before! My record was 5.5 though...
Oh yeah, and just as an explanation why I am flying so inefficiently (100+km/h) at 900m (~3000ft) - our airspace ends there because of the D-CTR of Hamburg (EDDH) so unfortunatly we can't go any higher. Sometimes they give us 4000ft... So sometimes you have to push over and fly faster in order not to climb any further.
