To get into Lech we had to go thru this long tunnel ... built so the pass would remain open in winter |
The forest paths offer wonderful "peaks" |

Our Hotel |
Village Proper |

With a little paint & imagination, a rather bland facade has been changed into something unique. |
This whole area looks like it came straight from the pages of "Heidi" |
|
This is where Paul comes to ski each year. Looks a bit different without lots of snow. How about those snow fences in the left-hand photo ? |
Freddy brought us to his home town. He works for Red Bull .... and his family owns this hotel. |

We were treated to an elegant lunch in the Private Dining Room |
From Hangar 7 you can see Hangar 8 ( not open to the public ) |

Getting the plane ready for our flight. When we finished touring the hangars, we were told that a special surprise had been arranged. This was it !! |
"Good To Go" |
Wellll ... boarding a plane from this angle was certainly a "first" for us. |

Pilots "Rolf" & "Sigy" |
The center area seats 4. To get to the front .... well... see that little hole ? |
|
You see ... you crawl thru here ...... |
"there he goes"....... |
|
end up behind the Pilot's seat .... then crawl thru the left passage.... |
keep crawling .... and "Bob's Your Uncle" ... you're at the Front Gunner's Position ........ |

Now to the rear ...... Uh-Huh .... another crawl space |
Rear Gunner's Position I believe there were 2 guns mounted here ( upper & lower ) |
||
Photo taken from the Rear Gunner's Position Got some great shots from this view. |
With our 2 pilots ... Rolf on the left ...Sigy ( Sigy Angerers Logbuch ) on the right. Sigy is Didi's personal pilot & Freddy said that Sigy can fly anything that goes into the air .... except the Space Shuttle ... and that's only because he hasn't tried it yet. |
