Before leaving for Karpathos, took our local friend Vangelis on a tour around the island, it seems he liked it ;-).<\/p>\n

One thing that got me literally upset at Rhodes was an extremely rude and unfriendly HCAA representative. In fact, he was so rude that i will try to file a report against this individual. Simply to help all the other employees at the airport who complain about him for ages but cannot speak up and to help future GA pilots. It’s one thing to discuss about whether having to pay a 12\u20ac passenger charge for my flight attendant without crew ID or not, that’s about a 50\/50 hit or miss on the airports i know for a 2-seater small plane ;-) I figure, hey you can always ask. But the aggressivenes and rudeness of this individual was simply unbelievable, one of the “wrong movie” type experiences.<\/p>\n

The reason we were visiting Karpathos is that a couple, who is close friends of ours, was on holidays there – windsurfing. Karpathos is known to be very windy, pretty vente jeux gonflables<\/a> much all the time. That’s why surfers love it. And therefore i had anticipated a challenging approach… Anyway, I was ready, waiting for the wind, but nothing special until touchdown… The usual 15kts in RWY direction, but that was it.
\nWe took extra care tying down, though. Again, awesome handling by very friendly Swissport staff.<\/p>\n

The days on Karpathos were spent hanging out with great friends, chilling at the pool, eating good food and simply enjoying vacation. And of course we were able to celebrate my fianc\u00e9e’s birthday in style.<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_0_placeholder\n
