I agree and go there often especially the Lauterbrunnen Valley near the Eiger.

we flew out to the canary islands (tenerife) for a week the next day (via airline) and had to finish packing things for ourselves and our 2-month old ;-)

Taking a tropical holiday is definitely a great way to replenish brownie points.

I'm so impressed that you're able to do something like that with a 2-month old. Pretty sure I'd be a gibbering wreck at this point if roles were reversed :-)

Work sends me to lots of places.

I have an upcoming requirement to be in the US, and I'm trying to finangle the dates to coincide with OSH. The stars aligned by complete luck last year; not sure yet if I have sufficient gravitational influence to push them in the right direction this year. :-)

That's ONE mountain. The rest of them are lucky to have their peaks visible during river floods

I'm still looking at your formation picture you sent me, great job and good challenge to sharpen the skills. Will look around what is possible here, to get a good trainer/instructor.

You can credit another RV'er on VAF and another work trip for getting me in to that:

Last year I met up with Rotor, Slick and Batman for a day of formation in RV-8's over the Californian Central Valley. It took months to wipe the smile off my face, it only dissipated when I was gritting my teeth to stay in position during training later in the year.

Definitely get into it. Outrageous fun, should be illegal.
