I recently visited my home country Slovakia. The nature in the summer time is very nice, everything is green, and the landscape is simply beautiful.
I simply had to arrange a flight to see this beauty from the air and to enjoy the feeling of freedom to fly around. My brother joined me and we were able to hire a Cessna 172 at a near aerodrome Očová (LZOC) for a short 1 hour flight. They have a grass strip 26/08, 800 meters long.
A lot of gliders and other aviation activities can be found there, such as paragliding, etc.
In the Canary Islands there are no possibilities to land on a grass strip, and most of the flights are above the sea. It is really great to enjoy a different landscape, with a lots of “alternative” airstrips.
Here are some of my images taken with the Gopro.
Safe flying!

Although the Rastafari in me whispers ‘Don’t land on the grass, just smoke it’, I encourage you to keep on practicing and crafting your landing skills on grass. After all, I discovered that the landing strip in Zemst is … yep, totally covered with grass. Give me a yell when you plan to arrive and I’ll personally jump on the grass mowing machine to give you a first class welcome …
Hey, this sounds as a good plan, my friend! 😉😀😀. Maybe we can smoke after a succesfull landing on the Zemst “international grass strip” 😀😀😀. Would love to see a pic of the field meanwhile I’ll be practicing some landings… Btw, it’s not so difficult to land on grass as I thought… 😉🌱🌱🌾🌾
