Air Festival - Alpe d'Huez (France)

4/9/2021

0 Comments

 
After a long stay in the capital, as I mentioned it last week in my article A Glimpse of Paris, I was happy to reconnect with nature, and more precisely in the mountains, in the French Alps, where I grew up (reread Childhood).

I even had more fun as an airshow was organised at the Alpe d'Huez, and you know how much I love everything that flies!

Reread my previous articles:
  • In the Air (Grand Canyon USA)
  • In the Air 2 (Planet Mars)
  • In the Air 3 (Sydney Australia)
  • Women in Space
 
A magnificent day in a sumptuous setting and the sunshine, life is good!

As a child, with my family, we used to go often to this kind of event, during them, I had my first ride in a hot air balloon and in a helicopter.
​It actually reminds me that after my Solo Wedding in Santorini, during my Honeymoon, I flew by helicopter over the island at sunset, such a magical moment!

Plane is different, thanks to school I had flying lessons when I was 8. And today I no longer count my miles as a passenger!

But before I take you into the air, let's take a look at the ground.

All kinds of stands, a flight simulator on Mirage 2000, in air combat mode over Dubai for me, adrenaline guaranteed, and I won’t see my photos of Dubai in the same way anymore (reread Christmas in Dubai).

But above all there’s a model of the Alpha jet of the Patrouille de France, the Air Force’s aerobatic display team...

Throughout the day, breathtaking demonstrations on different types of aircraft, recent and old, and an unfailing admiration for these pilots ...
​
And yes, the runway is a leap into the void!

​So incredible and magnificent, aerobatics…One or many planes ...
It makes me want to try, next first time on my list for sure!

But also, a helicopter rescue demonstration, it wasn’t the first time I saw one and yet it’s always impressive ...

I skydived before, however I’ve never tried paragliding, and this lively performance excited my curiosity!

And of course, the Patrouille de France (PAF)! Created in 1931, this is the oldest aerobatic display team in the world.

Composed of 9 pilots including a replacement (8 airplanes). And a whole team behind them. Being able to see one of their shows is a beautiful opportunity.

Even better when you can meet them afterwards and talk to them ...

Their work, talent and kindness are a real source of inspiration.
​
Although I lived in 7 countries in the world, I’m French, born and raised, and watching the PAF always gives me chills!

Thank you to all, the pilots, the teams, the organisers…
No matter how old we were, everyone had sparks in their eyes!

For a day I thought I was a pilot, a wonderful memory and a good way to keep my mind in the clouds & keep dreaming...😊

Have a wonderful week everyone!

Love & Joy,
L.

    Confucius said nature makes men identical, life makes them different.
    I think that everything happens for a reason and every moment helps to build our personality.  I don't like rules, I follow mine. It is time for me to share my unconventional life and my unusual experience...
