Er kam ca. 90 Minuten zu spät an. Der Rundflug ( bezahlt 20 ) Minuten, dauerte nur 16 MinutenMit Start und Landung, incl. Warmlaufen lassen des Motors. Der Poto/ Englisch sprechende Pilot 👩‍✈️ war im Hubschrauber stumm wie ein Fisch, hat nichts erklärt. Der Hubschrauber ist auch in die Jahre gekommen und hat irgendwie einen Lagerschaden.
