An ASH 31 Mi starts off by scraping the rocks low in the valleys, then
climbs up above the highest peaks in the Southern French Alps. Fantastic
video!


Yes, lovely to watch!
I would have been interested to see his progress (edited out) from Fayence

to the Col d'Allos - that's the interesting bit (actually, a lot) for an
established Alpine pilot. After that, it's all plain (plane?) sailing!
