Chasing the good weather north to the Baltics in the Grumman Tiger.

As the weather was supposed to be splendid up in northern Europe while being bad in Germany, we packed our bags and decided to head up to the Baltic States and Finland in our Grumman Tiger. **We started our journey in Landshut (EDML) and flew on an IFR flight plan to our first fueling stop Heringsdorf on Usedom (EDAH). **After a short coffee break we continued, this time VFR, along the coastline of Poland to Gdansk (EPGD). Following the coastline, we had the opportunity to enjoy a stunning view and could also coordinate with ATC to fly around the northern part of Gdansk CTR to enjoy a beautiful view of the polish island Hel before turning inbound for landing. The remaining afternoon we visited the old city center and enjoyed the beautiful scenery and excellent polish cuisine.
