Takeoff description
down the chairlift station at the top of the Mzar mountain. A very comfortable place, a bit rocky, but with no obstacles and friendly progressive slope.
Pilot comments
'Prestige' flight from very top of the lebanese mountains :) View is excellent if not to foggy. One problem is the rather long drive to join TO to LZ...
