Thomas the Flying Priest at Starmoen MAF Fly-in, the summer version of Vermundsjøen. A great weekend for fellowship and flying. Landings in 15 kts crosswind and flying Aerostar from the right seat were some of my highlights.
The chic new restaurant at Sjøflyhavna Kro is not the typical $100 hamburger destination for pilots. They are however true to their proud history of being the terminal building for Oslo's commercial seaplane base, hence serving Seaplane Burgers. Einar and me arriving direct from landing at nearby Kilen Seaplane Base, our choice for lunch was obvious.
Jostein gave Lara a flight for her birthday several months ago. Today it was time to open the present, flying over Oslo on a beautiful Saturday morning. Being seven in seventh heaven is not bad at all.
Bad weather on the move from the North Sea has been a repeating story this summer. 
Professor Høyer and I flew to the Nordmedia09 research conference in Karlstad, and managed to return a few minutes before the bad weather hit Kjeller. I was prepared to divert for Arvika in case we did not succeed in our rain shower slalom. 
Ten flights in two days among beautiful mountains, fjords, and islands of Western Norway from my holiday base at ENOV: The C172 LN-FAG of the local flying club are back from major refinishing in Balitcum, and I colud take family and friends for great trips to Kristiansund (top right), Runde, Stadt (bottom right), and Hakallestranda.
