| ZnTr01 Meet Mr. Frantisek Stanek Jr. and one of his numerous models. He was the only one to fly when we took off |
| ZnTr02 This is the flight already. What you see is a kaolin pit near Unanov |
| ZnTr03 This area southeast of Mor. Budejovice is a station which is taking care of transporting natural gas. Have you noted the three lines on the field before the area? Yes, it is the pipeline and it is visible because it warms up the ground |
| ZnTr04 Jaromerice nad Rokytnou. You can see a beautiful castle in the background |
| ZnTr05 It has wonderful gardens, especially beautiful in the summer. I know, the picture is little fuzzy |
| ZnTr06 This is our plane and me after landing in Trebic |
| ZnTr07 After take-off again. Nuclear plant Dukovany on the horizon - it is an important landmark in south Moravia |
| ZnTr08 Jaromerice again, from another view this time |
| ZnTr09 Here you can see the gardens. Imagine how it would look like if it weren't March |
| ZnTr10 Pavlice and its stone pit. Have you noted the waves in the field on the top of the photo? |
| ZnTr11 Stone pit again |
| ZnTr12 Closing to the reservoir Vranov |
| ZnTr13 The white regions is air confined under the layers of ice |
| ZnTr14 Can you see the rifts under the ice? |
| ZnTr15 Above the horizon is visible a band of smog |
| ZnTr16 Detail of the beach - you can see the boundary between ice and water |
| ZnTr17 The points on the beach are walking people |
| ZnTr18 Vranov nad Dyji. The forest in background is national park Podyji |
| ZnTr19 Castle Vranov nad Dyji. Have you seen the movie Triple X? :) |
| ZnTr20 And from another, not so common view. You can see the first patio |
| ZnTr21 The Dam. It is the source of water for the whole region |
| ZnTr22 In Summer, the hillside with the rock gets very hot and produces a strong current of air |
| ZnTr23 Another picture of the reservoir |
| ZnTr24 Closing to Znojmo. The smudge behind the glas is one of three blades of the propeller. The black bar is GPS antenna |
| ZnTr25 My father has the plane always perfectly under control. The wing is directly pointing to hockey stadium |
| ZnTr26 Znojmo. Who knows it, needs no explanation. The rest demands none :) |
| ZnTr27 Hradiste. Note the looooooooong shadows. And here is a small brain teaser: can you tell me the time this picture was taken? I am awaiting your guesses and your explanation why you think so! You will be awarded :) And tell nobody else! |
| ZnTr28 All the small colored points on streets are our big cars |
| ZnTr29 There is a building on the very right of the picture. It's the prison in Znojmo! This photo could be worth a lot! :) |
| ZnTr30 Concentrate on the small church (with the black roof) before the big one. It is a big rarity, because it has TWO floors! |
| ZnTr31 The high building on the top of the picture, with a stack beside, is the "new" hospital |
| ZnTr32 Look at the three points on the river! |
| ZnTr33 A look into the cocpit: The indicator in the middle shows that every second we are descending nearly one meter. It is nothing unusual to go up to 6-7 m/s. The rest of the indicators is self explaining |
| ZnTr34 The engine is getting colder as the plane is descending and does nod need its thrust |
| ZnTr35 Look at the smoke! It is very important to know the wind direction on the ground. Every pilot looks for signs like this one, especially before landing, as in our case |
| ZnTr36 This parts of Znojmo are called Sedlesovice and Novy Saldorf |
| ZnTr37 Novy Saldorf. Now you can see the origin of the smoke |
| ZnTr38 Our airfield LKZN |
| ZnTr39 We are not going to be the only one plane in the sky above Znojmo after all |
| ZnTr40 I hope you have enjoyed this trip and already looking forward to the next one. Bye. |
