Saint Jean de Luz, looking WNW.
approximately 8 NM south of Biarritz and about 5 NM north of the French/Spanish border. With information extracted from this picture and using Google Earth as a measuring tool I could deterimine that Jean Claude was flying at an approximate position of 43°23'13.3"N 1°38'19.8"W, which is just east of the motorway that runs to the south-east of the city.
Now, which conventional spam-can's pilot seat would give you a magnificent visibilty like this? Flying an IBIS is just a great experience. This shot was taken from the front seat looking to the left. On the far left part of this picture a small part of the left IBIS wing is still visible.
