Heliswiss - Haltikon(LSXN)

Post by BringBackEGDG » Wed Sep 07, 2022 4:44 pm

Took advantage of the summer scheduled flight from Newquay to Zurich with Edelweiss to visit family. Before leaving l contacted Heliswiss at Haltikon to ask if there was any chance of their Ka32 flying that week. They informed me that she was due to depart at 07.15 Monday morning. A short 15 minute car journey arriving at 06.45 found the weather was not great with low cloud and poor light. The Super Puma was on the pad being prepared for flight and my heart sank. However all was good and after the Puma departed the Ka32 was towed from the hangar and made ready for flight and duly departed on time.

A big thank you to Rachel of Heliswiss for arranging my visit.
