home/ history/ 2004/ march/ 20040303 Flying near the Habsburg castle, landed on a treesorry - the first two pictures are no good - the better camera is on the tree, these 2 pics were taken with the Kodak mc3the rest of them were pictures taken during the flight before the landing on the tree, the last 3 show the damage after the plane came down I had a marvelous flight with thermals, flying near and above the castle - I was looking forward to the pics, when a tree suddenly streched and touched the plane - when I just though about my luck, it landed on the next one I borrowed a ladder from the restaurant in the castle, but the 5 meter ladder was not high enough to even shake the tree a bit. I will call them tomorrow and ask if the wind brought it down... next day... A guy from the restaurant climbed the tree and shook it down just when I arrived on the scene
