Narvik Flyklubb

I designed the logo on the front page of the new homepage for the aeroclub in Narvik. It says: Save Narvik Airport Framnes -fly for life!

A few politicians and moneymen in Narvik have decided to shut down this airport and effectively cut off the population from a vital air ambulance service which saves hundreds of lives every year.

Furthermore this airport, in spite of politicians trying to strangle it by restricting commercial flights, actually has a nearly 10% annual growth in passenger traffic.

And finally it is the hub for a vibrant aerosport club. Please visit their brand new website! http://narvikflyklubb.no/


Downwind ENNK

Just wanted to throw in a few more shots from tonights flight. The first we are appr. 1,000 feet and downwind ENNK (Narvik Airport). In front port side Ankenes and Fagernes and the prominent mountain “The Sleeping Queen” in the background.

Bell 412 Special Performance - Norwegian Army

Bell 412 Special Performance - Norwegian Army. Making a few lowpasses over the strip today. A very fast, stable and agile helicoptre primarily used for troop transport and evacuation of wounded. One of my favourites.
