Rememberance

I last flew over this spot, near the Trois Eveches, on the afternoon of March 23rd 2015. We all remember what happened here the following morning and it was with some emotion that I returned to the scene today. What I found most unsettling is that it all looks the same as it did before, no sign of wreckage, still a wilderness, as if a slate had been wiped clean. But not in my mind.

My logger file tells me that today I flew via the col de Vars to Bardonnecchia and back south to the lac St Croix. My memory tells me that although top cover had arrived over the Queyras, there was still enough heat on the ground to generate decent thermals. The return trip across the Ecrins was memorable for a cloudbase that nearly touched the peaks making for an exciting ride across the tops.

There is no more to say about today.
