The flight with Joachim Brunschweiler and the Piper was a blast. He explained everything clearly beforehand, and we had a wonderful flight to Säntis and the Churfirsten. I’ll be happy to recommend him to others.

It was an impressive experience and a privilege to take off in this aircraft. Peter Enz explained the Piper L4 in great detail and his instructions were easy to understand.
During the flight, he also explained many details about the area he was flying over. Despite the age of the aircraft, I felt safe and in very good hands.
I can only recommend flying with the Piper L4
