The airport was opened in 1986, and since 1993 there have been daily flights to Stockholm. No landing fees and a 1510 x 30 m runway makes Hagfors Airport a great destination (#93 in my logbook).
The End
Five years of flying fun is documented. I will continue flying, but this blog is no longer being updated. Follow me on Wingly.

The mental distance to Hagfors
Einar fueling at Kjeller before our first visit to Hagfors. ESOH is only a 50 minutes flight from ENKJ, but the mental distance to this destination over the Swedish boarder has obviously been longer, since it took us more than ten years from getting our PPL certificates to making the journey.

Towing 30
My first solo on floats this seson was a ferry flight of 35 minutes from Kilen to ENNO. Then 2 hours return by bus, bogging this on the TIMEkspressen wireless.

Checkout with a flying legend
Kjell Meum explains the flying pattern at Kilen Seaplane Base after my season checkout in LN-AEG. He is head of the seaplane school and a true flying legend. The former fighter pilot and SAS captain got his license in 1948, and have more than 21.000 hours in his logbook, including quite a few crossings of the North Pole on transatlantic flights. Today we crossed the Oslo Fjord to do five landings at Håøya for me to be current for my 5th season on floats.

Rescued by friendly Danes
Tore doing DI on LN-NAG before our return from EKRK to ENKJ. I attended a MAF Nordic Board Meeting while my co-pilot explored Copenhagen.
We got dispensation for an early start from Kjeller (07:15), and arrived Roskilde 09:55, flying REGMA - XENTA - NOL - TOPLA - KULUD - NOA - VALBY.
Headwind on the return to Kjeller added 30 minutes flying time, and landing only five minutes before closing (10 p.m.).
The Oslo NOTAM Office forgot to submit our return flight plane, but we were rescued by friendly and service minded officials at EKRK.

With numbers in hand
In my 582 hours of flying in 49 aircrafts (7 different types) to 92 destinations, I have had 906 day landings and 34 at night. Statistics are easy to generate from my new digital LogTen Pro logbook. Transferring all the 579 flights from my 3 traditional logbooks (Norwegian, American, and Australian) took a few hours, but represented a great travel in time with lots of good memories of fun flights coming back to me as I typed.
