Fuelling for Geiranger
Eiliv and Mortiz at Vigra (ENAL), fuelling LN-FAG on our way from Hovden (ENOV) to sight seeing in the Geiranger fjord. Great mountain flying in the North Western part of Norway!

Five Landings in One Hour
(OSLO, Norway) Landings at different locatons are good training. Yesterday I visited five sites within an hour: BUNNEFJORDEN - HÅØYA - DRAMMENSFJORDEN - TYRIFJORDEN - KILEN.
This is possible at sea. In the Oslo area all local airports on land are unfortunately restricted to minimize visits.

Going to Gothenburg? Forget GG!
(GOTHENBURG, Sweden) I got a few surprises when I came back to Landvetter (ESGG) after six years. No LL100, practically impossible to do flight planning and paperwork in the right order due to security measures, and officials not used to handle visits from small aircrafts, resulting in a lot of waiting. Next time I go for Säve (ESGP).
Atrium and Air History
(BUDAPEST, Hungary) The suspended airplane in the Sofitel hotel lobby marks the history of the Hungarian national carrier in this formerly Hyatt hotel, opened as the first atrium hotel in Europe by Malév Airline in 1982. By way of ancient Rome through modern American hotel design, the atrium arrived back in Europe with this 357-room hotel with a 10-story atrium lobby and three glass elevators.

First Solo at Sea
I got my sea plane rating at the end of last year's season, just before leaving for Atlanta. Today I banked off some rust with CFI and LN-UXC owner Bjørn, and followed up with my first solo on floats. This is really fun!
