No tunnel celebration by air

The deepest undersea tunnel in the world opened today, and 40,000 people in the Sunnmøre region got connected. The Eiksund Tunnel is 7,765 m (25,476 ft) long and 287 m (942 ft) deep. I planned to see the ceremony from the air, but LN-ASH at the VØF hangar on ENOV was grounded. Even the sun came out for a few moments celebrating the event. I'll test the tunnel by car tomorrow...

Aviation nostalgia

The fine old fuel pump at Arvika (ESKV) does still have avgas at old fashion rates (SEK 9.50 / NOK 8.07 / €1). Ingvar gave me the Arvika Flygklubb check ride today, enabling me to rent great planes at affordable prices.

After take-off 01 at Arvika I turned left and joined extended long final 30 at Kjeller. The cross border ferry of 30 minutes from high cost ENKJ to affordable and friendly ESKV is recommended.
