FlyBlog-5 - Dutch Flying Internet Bloggers meeting at Juist (EDWJ)
EDWJ/Juist after all
Some time back an attempted FlyBlog-4 meeting on Juist (EDWJ) got flushed down the drain by a persistent patch of dense fog in the northern part of the Netherlands, causing those members who are based there to cancel the event.
Juist, one of the westerly Frisian Isles
EDWJ is located on a flat piece of land outside the dikes that protect the southern part of Juist Island. Five days after our visiting EDWJ, the first serious storm during the autumn 2007 flooded the entire airstrip. Luckily there was ample warning, so that all aircraft and other equipment could be moved inside the dikes before the high tide and storm struck the airport.
For canard-afficionados: you might want to zoom in and do a search: there’s a SpeedCanard parked here somewhere…:)
