Fall flight on floats

Unn joined me for the last seaplane flight of the 2008 season on a beautiful Tuesday afternoon. We met at the University of Oslo campus and drove to Kilen on my HD, flew LN-AEG low level past Oscarsborg, Villa Malla, and Holmsbu, before returning to Kilen via Drammen.

This might be one of the last days on two wheels as well. I had to wait for an hour before leaving home this morning due to frozen roads. Unfortunately it might be six months to wait before the biking and seaplane season is back in Oslo. Why do people live this far north?

Seaplane sank in first storm of the season

Fire fighters and other good helpers saving LN-HOE at the dock in Sandefjord after the first storm of the fall season. 50 trees and one seaplane was hit hard in Vestfold. More images taken by Jim Vold at Flightsim.no. 

I am planning one more flight with LN-AEG before ending the season on floats. I guess waiting too long is not a good idea.
