Excellent flights tonight guys, thank you for joining. Like I said on TS I need ideas for future fly ins so either post up some ideas or pm me or one of the admins if you prefer :thumb:

Thanks for organising a great evening of flights Sparko!

Started off with a flight from Oslo to Alesund, then from Alesund to a couple of local airports with difficult approaches and short runways.  

At the start of the evening at Oslo it was snowing, as seen here, with Vobler's twin prop sporting a go-faster sky-blue stripe and my 777 in the Air New Zealand Hobbit livery.

On the climb out of Oslo, with other aircraft queued at the far end of the runway awaiting clearance to take off and join the flight ENAL (Alesund).

Cruising altitude, 20,000ft and approaching the more rugged western mountain ranges.

Midway through the descent checklist at 11,000ft, overlooking the snow-capped mountains.

14.1NM to MITSU for the turn onto final for landing on runway 25 at ENAL (Alesund).

Approaching the west coast of Norway's mainland and about to turn towards ENAL runway 25.

Safe and sound at ENAL.  As usual, we did it the dMw way (our own way) and ended up there with a couple of 737's, a 777, a Beech and an F-18 and someone thing else I forget.

I didn't take any screenshots of the next two flights (other than the below) which were done in smaller twin-prop aircraft, but they were two consecutive short 10 minute hops from Alesund, both into really short runways with awkward approaches.


Award for Landing Style: goes to......Sulky, for this landing in what appears to be an A380, although I'm pretty sure that you should land on (a) the wheels and (b) the runway.   He's sure to blame someone else though! :getmecoat:

All in all it was a great evening of flying and fantastic fun.   Thanks to all those who showed up, to Vobler for the 'Alesund flight tour' and most of all to Sparko for organsing it!

Thanks all!  :dmw::thumbsup:
