Stillwater Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Well, not so high if you start a flight in Hammerfest... ... turn round ENHF Valan... ... and cross the (hidden) Nordkap. Passing a windfarm ... ... on the way back to Hammerfest, ... ... ENHK Hasvik, ... ... and finally Tromsö. I had to go around, increasing my chances to see the northern lights (sucessless). And finally we were allowed to land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Lars Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Really beautiful pics from the north. This sloped runway looks impressive. Glad to see you found some daylight to show us your flight. Now I'm very curious to see where you're going next. Perhaps to Novaya Zemlya to meet the polar bears?

Novaya Zemlya could be another option... but only with OLC Asia! On 2/12/2019 at 1:41 AM, BradB said: Somebody once said : when is the best time to visit Norway ? ......

You can use the remaining seasons for the remaining countries of the world. On 2/12/2019 at 2:10 AM, flsm (Frank) said: Very enjoyable. Cheers. Thank you Frank.

Since they didn't include Spitzbergen / Svalbard in OLC Europe, I doubt they're going to include Novaya Zemlya in OLC Asia. It's already mid-february though and still no news from OLC Africa!
