The members of the East Westphalian Aviation Get Together agreed on their first meeting, that they will meet once a month in the future.

I’m happy to announce that the East Westphalian Aviation Get Together will take place for the first time!

Please join us on Wednesday, 4th of November at 8 pm at the Rubens in Herford.

Are you an advanced or native English speaker who is interested in aviation? Then maybe we should get together!

My plan is to get together once a month, have a drink and talk about flying or any other topic you like, in order to practice our English. If you are interested in taking part, please get in touch with me stating the city/area of East Westphalia you live in.

I will then see where most people come from and find a proper location. Maybe it will even make sense to alternate between locations to minimise travel expenses I might even be able (fingers crossed) to provide a real British atmosphere at a place, where we could get pint of Guinness or Lager Beer!

=> Our first meeting will be on Thursday, the 17th of September at 7 pm.

Please contact me by eMail: Get_Together (at) Report-Air.com

I look forward to hearing from you!

Best regards,

Heiko

Hier kommt mal etwas, das nichts mit Fliegen zu tun hat. Mich hat es aber so begeistert, dass ich mir trotzdem eine Viertelstunde Zeit dafür genommen habe!

Also … ich werde es mal ausprobieren! Den Spaß gönn ich mir!!! *doppelschwör* Ich hoffe nicht, dass ich direkt an so einen harten Brockeen wie die junge Dame im Video gerate. Aber vielleicht gibt’s ja auch im echten Leben ein happy End.

Davon abgesehen finde ich, sollte sich das jeder angucken, der Menschen fotografiert. Auch beim Fotografieren werde ich es testen. Dann kann ich endlich die Suche nach dem perfekten Witz, über den alle im richtigen Moment lachen und den noch keiner kennt aufgeben.

… taking a ride in a helicopter. Sabine Bühlmann, who currently does the training for her commercial pilot license (CHPL), gave me a lift at the airport “Schwarze Heide” in the municipality Hünxe close to the city of Dinslaken in western Germany.

As a microlight pilot I have to get used to vertical take off and hovering across the airfield.

Nevertheless: I surely will do it again!

Thanks Sabine, for this wonderful flight!

D-HOST during take off.

A long time ago, I did my last parachute jump. When I saw the video with the jumps of these wingsuit guys, my heart told me, that I have to start jumping again soon!

Have a look at it. It’s brilliant!!!

For two years I have been working as a Freelance photojournalist now. I’m pleased that my first article written in English was published in the largest and most successful “2nd Anniversary Issue” of the Aerospace Manufacturing Magazine.

Dear Readers,

recently I wrote my first two articles for British aviation magazines. I have to say, that I really enjoyed working with journos from the UK. For this reason I would like to focus more on English speaking countries and magazines published there in the future.

Of course this also affects my website. Read the rest of this entry »
