Loganair (then still an independent carrier) G-BFNV. It was two minutes indeed.

I as an aircraft fanatic, I hate to say this :-(, but travelling by car would seem the cheapest option and probably quickest too. Leuven (if you or your friend live there) to Arosa ca. 730 km and probably 8,5 hours driving (if there is no traffic jam and/or snow). Payment on French highways may be r...

My first flight was in 1969 Piper PA24-250 Comanche HB-OVL from Bern (LSZB) to Sion (LSGS) (and back later the same day). I do not remember very much of that flight except that my brother and I were more interested in a Mickey Mouse Comics that in the flight :-) My first scheduled flight was in 1976...
