Flight Kloten — Salzburg

Day trip on 1 September 2009 with Moonlight Air and a Cirrus SR20 from Kloten airport via Allgäu to Salzburg. In contrast to the Rockwell Commander 114, this aircraft did not have an opening in the pilot's cockpit through which one could photograph with the camera. Therefore, a few reflections are visible in some of the photos and the sharpness is somewhat reduced.
