Hello there good people of the world,
after an elongated summer break we’re back in bush flying business.
During the course of 2025 and 2026 we’ve had tours running through the North and South Americas, Indonesia and New Zealand. Now we’re going back to Europe.
The Scandinavian countries are extraordinarily satisfying bush flying territory thanks to islands, fjords, canyons and generally beautiful wilderness as well as challenging weather.
On this tour I’ll take weekly turns with @UitvreterNL in preparing legs which mainly explore Norway, parts of Sweden and Finland; from the North Cape to my favorite city in Europe, Helsinki.
Of course we’ll begin at one of the northernmost continental airfields belonging to Europe, which is Valan (ENHV) near the North Cape. The first leg of this tour ends at Tromso (ENTC).

You need FS2024 to fly along (no beta!).
- Leg’s gonna start around 7:00 pm zulu time
- You need to join the SouthEast Asia Multiplayer Server. If you don’t know how, watch this: https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/SdavexSz6BI
- It helps to activate traffic nameplates so we can spot each other more easily. If you don’t know how, watch this: https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/SdavexSz6BI
- Add “DefragDad” as a friend on FS2024 to make it easier to find me.
- Pick an aircraft (e.g. Grand Caravan, Kodiak 100, Turbo Bonanza) which can do at least 150 KIAS, that’s our average speed on the legs.
- We’ll simply meet up on the airfield and then decide when and which runway to take off from.
- Please either join the Flight Sim Safaris Voice Channel on Discord to be able to communicate, or…
- … as usual I’ll stream on Twitch, so if you can’t join the Discord server for whatever reason you can communicate on Twitch as well.
Here’s the flightplan for this leg:
