Ready for new adventures

I had to do my annual check ride at ENKJ in order to stay current at the two flying clubs early this year, as I had skipped this ritual in 2008. CFI David (picture) and I had a smooth ride in LN-NRF on a mild and sunny winther day. After a few months with too much writing on my PhD thesis and too little flying, I am current again, and ready for new adventures. Soon the thesis will also be submitted.

Thea's first flight

Einar and Thea (15) at Hamar on our evening trip ENKJ-ENHA-Husodden-ENEG-ENSN-ENTO-ENKJ. Thea unveiled her talent as she co-piloted her first flight with me from Skien to Torp.

Winner Flight over Oslo

Jørn won a flight with MAF at the Kjeller Air Show, and I took him for some evening sight seeing over family in Nittedal and his home in Oslo. A nice and smooth evening flight in LN-NRF. Read more at MAF.no.

First visit to Säve

Einar and LN-NRF (in the background) at Gothenburg City Airport/Säve after dinner at Hard Rock Cafe downtown. I got a few surprises on my last visit to the city, using Landvetter (ESGG). ESGP is definitely the GA port to Gothenburg.

We used 1:30 from ENKJ to ESGP, and 1:05 on the return.

10 airports after work

We had to cancel our planned Baltic Tour to Tallinn and Riga due to weather, and improvised an evening trip to small airports in Norway and Sweden. No time for meals en route as we had to get back to ENKJ before closing at 10 pm. [see pictures!]

Route: ENKJ - Bøverbru (Vestre Toten)- ENHA (Stafsberg, Hamar) - ENRI (Frya, Ringebu) - ENGN (Grimsmoen, Folldal) - Tynset - Sølenstua - ESUE (Idre) - ESVM (Malung) - ESST (Torsby) - ENKJ.
