David Baines with the help of many friends have build a aircraft, and flew from the parking lot up at Pal ski station to La Seu Airport. The wind changed and got stronger, a landing at Pal would have been difficult – dangerous. David flew the plane over the border to La Seu airport which created an international conflict. Never before an Andorran Aircraft had entered Spain.
Notice the aircraft registration and the car number plate – yes, they are the same. At that time there was no ruling on aircrafts.
