Panoramautsikt inn i natten

Mørkt og fint vær, da passer det ypperlig med litt nattflyging! Dagens fartøy ble LN-GJP, siden passasjeren (tilfeldigvis instruktøren som lærte meg å fly den der) ikke hadde prøvd slikt i mørket før.

Vår første flytur med baby onboard

Helt siden det ble klart at familien skulle utvides har spørsmålet om når første flytur med oss alle tre skulle gjennomføres, og i dag ble dagen! Ikke dårlig å ha sin første flytur i småfly allerede før man er et halvt år gammel. Første flyturen ble riktig nok på et mye større fly for et par måneder siden, men dette var utvilsomt en milepæl for hele familien.

Road to FI - Preparations and self-study

Sharing the joy of aviation with others are probably my favorite part of this wonderful activity. And I have for a while dreamt about being able to teach others to fly. I have talked about it with my wife, and my instructor, several times. And now I’m at the point where I have completed most of the prerequisites for the FI(A) training. I only need a little more than 4 hours of dual instrument, and then I have all of it.

Litt trening uten motor i treningsområdet

I løpet av sommeren og høsten har jeg fått litt flere timer i motorseilflyet, og jeg har blitt mer komfortabel med å slå av motoren i lufta. Noe som er en litt uvanlig setning å skrive som motorflyger…

Norgeshistoriens første VFR-natt i TMG?

For å kunne fly VFR-natt med passasjerer må jeg ha en natt-landing i løpet av de siste 90 dagene, på korrekt klasse. Jeg har ikke fløyet VFR-natt siden jeg fullførte nattutsjekken i vår. Så jeg hadde behov for en landing i hvert fly, så jeg kunne bli current på både SEP og TMG. I dag var det fint vær, og jeg var allerede på flyplassen etter et par flyturer, så i dag passet det ypperlig å ta en natt-tur i hvert fly.

Mid America Museum of Aviation and Transportation

The Mid America Museum of Aviation and Transportation is a transportation museum, meaning you will find a bit more than aircraft here. But the majority of the exhibits are aviation related. There’s a little bit of everything here, from civil aviation to aviation in movies and experimental airplanes.
