On a recent visit to the North Fresian islands in Germanys north, for some cycling,I was also able to fly in an AntonovAN2 bi plane between Wyk auf Fohr to the holiday island of Sylt in beatiful weather,here are some photOs,I was lucky enough to fly in the co pilots seat from Wyk to Sylt.
The lovely airfield at Wyk I cycled from my hotel for the AN2 flight to Sylt.
The AN2 arrived and parked I boarded for the 15 minute flight to Sylt.
On departure from Wyk,an almost vertical right turn to get on direct track for Sylt
approaching for landing on runway 32 at Sylt in a cross wind,tail draggers like grass strips not concrete and we thumped down hard on the runway.
The airport at Sylt, Hanseflug the operator of the AN2 ,use the GAT terminal which is 15 minute walk from this the main terminal,the airfield is not busy, AirBerlin use Dash8-400,and long time ago when BEA operated German domestic services,they had a 1-11-500 every saturday from Hannover in the summer season,must have been interesting and noisey
DFJKA on the GA ramp at Sylt awaiting return to Wyk.
Rolling along the runway at Sylt for the return 15 min flight to Wyk on Fohr.
A tight left turn from Sylt direct to Wyk was made.
Approaching Wyk,routing over the airfield to warn any non radio and other visitors alike of our arrival.
Positioning down wind over the town of Wyk,note the large group of people in a circle on the beach they were all waving at us.
On finals for Wyk for a nice grass landing
Hope you enjoyed these pics from a beautiful area indeed.
