Hello Fournieteers,
It’s been a long, hard winter and also an exceptional skating season. My previous “latespringskating”- record in “Skane” (the far south of Sweden) was 8th of april set in 1996, but I smashed that record today. You have to be really careful with ice in the spring, but this morning the ice held out- only to be smashed by a stiff easterly wind a couple of hours later. I managed to do my first Fournier flight of this year this afternoon and snapped a couple of shots of the wind and waves pulverizing that same ice I skated hours before. It's very useful and also much safer if you can keep an "Eye in the Sky" on the development of the ice, whether it's been covered by snow, where there are cracks etc. Some discretion might be prudent though, since some people are very keen on reporting low flying.

Anyway, now it’s time to pack up the skating equipment and start cracking at aeros again, what? Naturally I did a loop and a couple of rolls and I actually found some weak thermals on my way home. The forecast calls for spring this weekend, I reckon I’ll get some more flying reports in soon again. Unfortunately I think I might have missed Mr and Mrs Crane, but I'll get back on that!

That's absouletly fascinating Jorgen.
Thank you.

An abiding memory for me was Nordic (cross-country) skiing over the snow on frozen lakes near Sun Valley, Idaho in the Spring, many years ago. The booming, pinging, boinging, whizzing, fizzing sounds of that ice cracking and melting beneath us will stay with me forever.

I'm glad you're back in the air, and we do enjoy seeing your reports on Mr and Mrs Crane's return.

May we all have many happy hours of Fournierteering this summer.

Yours, Bob

Bob,
I hope your Idaho guide was experienced, when on ice I always try to be prepared to fall through it at all times, kind of like flying- always think your back-up plan through beforehand. And always adapt to the circumstances at hand, like yelling “-Fore!!” before making an emergency landing on a driving range (That part of your video always cracks me up, Bob). Skis on ice can be a tricky combination, they make it very hard to swim and get back up on the ice and they’re difficult to remove in the water. That said, I do it myself quite often and it’s good fun. Understanding natural ice is a science, I would almost call it an art form and the powerful sounds of an ice-covered lake as the ice expands in the morning sun and shrinks as the sun sets are magnificent. Below is a picture from late January on the same lake, “East Ringlake” as my buddy Bengt dropped by with his L-4/J-3 Cub. The GoPro cameras wide angle lens always make objects seem more distant, so you can’t really appreciate what a close encounter it was. Not that I was worried, Bengt spent 5 years flying tight formation with the Swedish Air Force display team “Team 60” in Saab 105’s- he's a good stick. I doubt he would have landed his Saab on the ice, though.

Now I know how Cary Grant must have felt when Hitchcock had that crop duster chase him down that cornfield! OK, maybe a bit cooler... As always when cold air is pushed away by warmer air we have a spell of rain for the next couple of days, but I expect to report more in this thread later!

May the 4’s (and L-4’s) be with you/ Jörgen

Hiya Jorgen,

That is an absouletly brilliant, magnificent photo!

Knowing just how wide the GoPro lens is, I appreciate that the Cub is less than three metres (ten feet) away from you.

Since I have been grounded ten weeks now, any flying photos bring a smile to my face.

When the cloud and drizzle clear, I look forward to some more springsoaring shots.

Yours, Bob

Wow! What a brilliant picture. Did Bengt land on the ice or just fly by? Either way that's a prize of a shot.

Bob,
You’ve got a good eye and I think your assumption is correct. That’s how close it felt and his propwash (all 65 hp of it!) did shake me a bit. Donald, we did discuss the setup beforehand as he landed on the ice, which as you can see was 4 inches (alright, Fourniers are metric- 12 cm!) diamond hard black ice of excellent quality with the firmest crystalline bonds imaginable- one stab with the ice pick produced a cloud of white icedust. Bengt flies for Malmo Aviation and had spotted the ice "at work"- nice to know some IFR pilots actually look outside every now and then...


Bob, I hope your back is getting better and that you’re getting along well with your physiotherapist. I certainly need the exercise of frequent bicycle trips to the strip and I’m eagerly looking forward to the warmer air said to arrive the day after tomorrow!

May the 4’s be with you/ Jörgen

Hi Jörgen
Nice story and pictures, we have still 20-30cm snow here in Finland, no free ice for skating or landing with wheels

Exactly Markku,
snow on the ice is a real bummer. When snow freezes onto the ice it works like a huge brake pad, effectively turning your skateblades into straight disc-brakes. You can of course sail with skis, but the friction is much higher so you need a lot of windpower to start moving. Most people do not realize it, but "Skåne", the Southern part of Sweden is generally good for skating since we get more mild spells and rain in between the coldspells which melts the snow, uncovering the ice beneath and makes it possible to skate again. The WISSA (World Ice and Snow Sailing Association) held the World Championships in Finland and the Baltic area for the last couple of years but they always have to sail on snow, turning it into more of a skiwaxing competition than the interesting aerodynamic challenge it could have been.

Sorry for the thread drift, but I might add another perhaps more flight-related detail from skatesailing that same spot the day before: an impressive Sea Eagle with a wing span around 10 feet flew parallell with me at about thirty feet, eyeing me curiously as I cursed the fact that I couldn't get the GoPro camera to bear on him (it was mounted on a stick in the boom). The Eagle almost teasingly glided over a 5 feet wide open crack in the ice and landed some 30 feet away and eyed me some more, apparently realizing I was ice bound and wouldn't cross the short stretch of open water. I encounter Sea Eagles quite often on the ice and my impression is that they are not at all afraid just curious, probably knowing they are the masters of the air.

Hi again Fournieteers,
sorry about all this winterstuff, time to get to the essence of this thread, namely the arrival of spring as evidenced by:
CRANESPOTTING!

As the Danish Meteorologists had predicted this unusually long winter left last Wednesday and after a couple of days with rain and some wind the warmth of spring finally arrived today. After a leisurely breakfast I was cleaning the balcony- yes, you guessed right: we feed the birds during the winter; you have to look out for fellow pilots, right? Their table manners are appalling though, hence my duties. As I was almost finished I heard the characteristic, out of this world celestial trumpet calls and as I looked up I saw a huge pack of cranes thermalling just above the house.

I managed to snap a picture before they glided on and then hurriedly negotiated a brief postponing of the rest of this day’s work schedule- I had just been paged!
Today’s TAF read:
141730Z 1418/1518 15012KT 9000 BR SCT035 TEMPO 1418/1506 3000 BR BKN010=
so I had a bit of a headwind as I rode the bicycle to the strip. Some cranes had arrived earlier when it was still cold, but the abrupt arrival of spring seemed to make this Sunday the “Big-Wing Crane arrival day” when everybody was on the go.

I snapped this picture of another huge pack from the bicycle before I got out of town.

As I preflighted “SE-XST” I heard the calls of another one of the many packs of cranes just over the strip, they were taking advantage of the strong southerly winds but flew at a low altitude compared to what I’ve seen before, but I guess that’s what the weather dictated for today’s mission. I snapped a picture of the pack as they tightly curved a low thermal, you can see them just above the prop.

I took off towards the south-west, and as I climbed out I barely had time to tuck the gear in before I encountered the next pack of cranes, climbing slowly in a weak thermal and leisurely drifting with the wind, perhaps resting a bit on stiff wings after the sea crossing.

I climbed on full throttle to catch up with them, but at a distance so as to not disturb them. A Fournier RF 4 has only some 40 horsepower, but up close those horses produce enough noise to be quite a nuisance. It was quite a haze and suddenly I lost sight of them. Cranes are huge birds and in tight packs they are easy to spot from below against a light sky, but the second you climb up to their level, they have a tendency to disappear against the many features on the ground. I set a course downwind, hoping to catch up with them.

I was in luck- it didn’t take me long to catch up with them- or was it another pack? Anyway, on this picture you can perhaps appreciate that cranes can be hard to spot against the ground at a distance. Their grey coats and black wing tips works as a camouflage, but also makes them beautiful to look at in the air.

They were in gliding mode, searching for the next thermal. We were low, just 1000 feet- much too low to shut down the engine, and I think they would beat me in an off-engine glide. They didn’t seem to mind my presence as long as I kept the engine ticking over at lower than 2500 rpm. I could appreciate their excellent precision in their formation; note how they utilize the wake of the bird in front, the whole formation gently undulating as they rode the rising aircurrents.

With the trim full back my glide speed was slightly higher than theirs, so I weaved in S-turns so as not to overshoot the pack. I got pleasant flashbacks to gaggle flying during my previous hangglidercompetitions; “-OK Guys, let’s spread out and find that next thermal!”

When the cranes found the next thermal it was as if one organism turned into it, no confusion, no chaos, everyone smoothly turned into the rising air current.

The cranes spread their wings a bit and slowed down to exploit the lift. They could turn at least 3-4 times tighter than I could, so I had to do a fighterpilot style “high yoyo” maneuver to stay in formation.

This particular thermal was strong and huge, so I could turn with the cranes which turned with a more shallow bank, graciously allowing me to be the “tail-end Charlie”of their squadron for a while.

As the formation tightened up when the thermal shifted, Mr and Mrs Crane said to say Hello to all Fournieteers out there and make sure you spread your wings properly, check your fuel status and exhaust system before your first flight of the season and don’t forget to extend your legs, ehhrm gear before you land. Mrs Crane also checked her red hat in the mirror of the 4’s wing (note the reflection on the leading edge!)

As the thermal core got denser, the pack tightened their turn and left me in the sink outside. This picture is a screen capture from the wide angle GoPro camera, so you can see it was a tight encounter- it looks close even with a wide-angle lens.

The pack climbed up to cloudbase (note the small cumulus cloud forming on top of the thermal the pack is climbing) and the sharp inversion layer which were both at about 2500 ft, note that there was a high cirrus screen that reduced the radiation a bit. The advantage of a low cloudbase is that thermals are closer, and even though lift were moderate 1.3 m/s the cranes could drift in the lift and stay on course in the southerly wind. In the background is the now ice-free lake were I skatesailed (top picture) 4 days ago!

I flew back dolphin-style with the engine at 2200 rpm, slowing down in thermals and speeding up slightly in dead air while I wrestled with the GoPro camera that suddenly froze up on me, I had to remove the battery to shut it down. Most of the videoclips were recorded though, so no damage. No sound though, but I already know how that engine sounds!

As I landed I realized the “Crane-trail” seemed to run just on top of our strip- one pack after the other came flying over, sounding their trumpets as they went. It was almost as if the cranes were mocking the poor Cub, still in winter clothing.

As I was about to mount the bicycle for a pleasurable ride home (this time with a tailwind!), one of the last packs of the day was thermalling just overhead, as if saying: “-What?! Are you already going home?” Mentally I replied: “-Yeah. I have to clean up after your little friends who stayed through winter. But you guys better be “craning your necks”, cause I’ll be coming up to play with you again!!!”

Hi Jorgen,

That was absolutely wonderful!

Your best yet photos of the cranes, and a superb story about them.

I am so glad everything eventually came together, so that you could not only see the cranes, but fly with them and record their migration.

Magic, magic unforgettable stuff.

Thank you for sharing it all with us.

Yours, Bob

Thanks Bob,
you certainly have done quite a few memorable write-ups yourself, so I value your praise highly. It really was an unforgettable day, I had a hunch the cranes migration would be "condensed" with the abrupt and late arrival of spring this year, but this day exceeded all my excpectations. As Fournieteers we are priviledged with an aerobatic mount perfectly suitable for a mission like this. Merci beaucoup, René!

Beautiful photos, Jorgen. You're very fortunate.
It's amazing that it has gone from cold enough to land a Cub on the ice and there being no ice. We're not as extreme here in Scotland but it has been a bitter spell and we, like you, have warmed up dramatically in the space of a couple of days.

Thank you Donald, I agree-
I am fortunate. Seasons are something to marvel at, especially when the shift between them are as abrupt as this year- although I have to point out that the pictures with Bengt and his Cub were taken late in january.

Flying with cranes is a special experience, I get a feel for how they tackle their task and I have a lot of respect for their mental capacity in planning the route and were to find the next thermal. Most glider pilots probably would agree that the more parameters you manage to consider and base your guess about where to find next thermal, the more likely you are to hit home and find lift early. I think we should be cautious to judge mental capacity just on brain size. Like my old Dad (former language teacher) say: we humans have a thought process verbalized to such an extent that we can't really understand how there can be intelligence without language.

I know of some rare occasions were local glider pilots that have taken tows early in the soaring season have encountered cranes- it isn't all that unlikely: if you manage to find the best lift around, that's were you'll usually find migrating cranes if there are any en route at that particular time. Others have flown with cranes, but I think maybe I'm a little bit more meticuluos about it. Because I have the means to do it!

Hi Jörgen
We are also very familiar with the cranes, almost every year they have stopped for few days to rest on the fields beside our airstrip. In spring time it's not a problem, because we have not yet started the flying season, but the autumn migration is a problem. Oonce when I was landing, on the final, some 40m height, I noticed few cranes flying cros my route just in the horizon. Bird strike with a crane could be a very nasty thing with RF-4.

We have also a flock of geese migrating to north every year, several thousands together, during past years they have stopped to our airstrip to eat fresh grass and stay over night, you can imagine what's the runway looks after that, you need boots to walk there

Hi Markku,
you've got a point there- as evidenced above cranes can be hard to spot against the ground clutter and they often glide so there's no flapping movement out there to alert you. My experience flying close formation with cranes are however that they are sensible in that they make predictable maneuvres and "keep their cool" so I've never felt a risk for collision. Not so with fledgling seagulls for instance, they can be all over the place with no predictability in their moves whatsoever!

And don't get me started on the Geese! They stay the winter in absolutely huge numbers in Skåne and often spend the night in the middle of frozen lakes were they feel more secure. For ice sailors this is a real nuisance since they leave massive amounts of guano on the previously black ice, and the heaps can be three inches (10 cm) high! In addition, to grind the food they often swallow pebbles and dirt and then the heaps of droppings freeze over, making for really challenging, suddenly appearing vast areas of obstacles for an icesailor zooming at 50 kt over the ice.

An unfortunate previously entusiastic skatesailor friend has concentrated exclusively on tourskating for the last two decades. An unconfirmed rumour has it that he sailed during a thaw on water-covered ice in massive speed, fell and did a prone, forward-facing, 50 m slide through a huge Goose night camp....

Hi Fournieteers,
you might have noted I mention "Lake Hornborga" as the destination of the cranes migrating to Sweden. Here's another beautiful clip from BBC's "Earthflight" series explaining what goes down there:
