E-Flight Academy

We have a very late summer vacation this year, and this year we went on a road trip to the Netherlands. While here, I figured it would be fun to get in the air if I could. When I realized that we would be staying right next to one of the World’s few electric aviation schools, I just had to make this happen!

Ikke riv infrastrukturen vår!

Jeg har skrevet om det flere ganger tidligere (Leirin, Bømoen, Kjeller og Geiteryggen), den stadig voksende listen over truede småflyplasser. Luftsport er også sport, og flyplassene er våre idrettsanlegg - dette er våre fotballbaner, for å si det på et språk som alle forstår.

Nationaal Militair Museum

The Nationaal Militair Museum is a military museum, focusing on the Dutch military. The museum is situated at the old decommissioned Soesterberg Air Base, and there is a considerable amount of aircraft at this museum. The museum is very family and kid friendly, with a large playground in the center of the museum and a nice little café.

Aviation Megastore

Aviation Megastore has been on my “must visit”-list for a long time. And since our vacation this year was a road trip to the Netherlands, I finally managed to add a short stop here to our plan.

Avidrome

Avidrome is the Dutch aviation museum, and in addition to being a very large aviation museum, a lot of fun for the entire family. The museum is very family and kid friendly, with a lot of activities and playgrounds spread out across the museum. The museum is spread across several buildings, with activities and aircraft in between. There’s also a nice viewing platform overlooking the runway of the busy Lelystad airport.

En liten flytur i Danmark

Årets sommerferie var noe seinere enn normalt, og i år gikk turen i bil fra Norge til Nederland. Vi hadde noen dager i Danmark på vei ned, og når vi først var stasjonert på samme sted over flere dager - passet det veldig fint å prøve å få til en liten flytur. Og det var akkurat det jeg gjorde, på Midtjysk Flyveskole på Herning flyplass.

Danmarks Flymuseum

The museum is located next door to the Stauning Airport, and is probably easier accessed by aircraft than by car. The museum is all indoor, spread across three different hangars connected together. There is a lot of general aviation aircraft in this museum, and even some gliders. Being within walking distance from a nice GA airport, makes this a nice destination for GA pilots.

Introdag Sola Flyklubb

Jeg hadde en løs avtale med Sola Flyklubb om at jeg kunne komme ned for å hjelpe til på deres årlige introdag, om det ble fint vær. Og så fint vær som det viste seg å bli, har vi vel nesten ikke hatt før i sommer. Da ble det tur til Sola da!
