Aerobatic Flying and Gliding with Martin Kroke in Gap-Tallard, France

Flying over the breathtaking mountain landscape surrounding Gap and Tallard is a glamorous experience. Located directly at the foothills of the French Alps, a small local airport allows you to soar over the blue waters of lake Serre Poncon or survey your recent hike routes from the air. Are you into an even greater experience? This time, it was rather difficult to decide to what section the following report to put into. Say, Aerobatic Gliding.
