September 2025 - I was asked by European Aircraft Sales in Odense, Denmark, if I could take a Diamond 42 from Sweden to India. What a chance, the Swedish airplane was very much like my own Diamond 42 and a tour to India was kind of a natural next step after having flown my own... Continue Reading →
