Directly after getting my license I left for a three week data collection trip to the Max Planck Institute in Stuttgart. I thought perhaps I would look into getting a flight while I was away. Nothing pressing you understand, not like an addiction, just an understandable desire to observe differences in customs. I made it through three days before I was surfing the web trying to find possibilities. At first it seemed there were no airports in Germany save the one I arrived at. Then, when I found airports I could not find FBOs. Turns out a lot of this problem was due to my not speaking German well enough to understand what I was reading. Eventually I found the resources for not one, but three flights, each a completely different experience. I think I can hold out ‘til I get home to fly again, but that is only because I am flying right away when I return.
