I’ve decided to continue on and push further north, in search of the midnight sun.
Today’s leg was from Ålesund ENAL to Trondheim ENVA, a flight of only about 45 minutes. The weather forecast was benign for the most part, though with a chance of thunderstorms in Trondheim, so I made sure to bring plenty of extra fuel to keep my options open.
The combination of scenery, weather, and lighting today produced some really beautiful views, so this post will be mostly pictures. I tried hard to choose just the best ones.
Lined up for departure, runway 06. Godøya island is prominently visible in the background.

As the flight progressed, weather radar showed that the thunderstorms had thankfully not materialized, giving me more time to enjoy the views

I haven’t yet decided which airport I want to go to next, but I’d like to keep the flights to about an hour, so maybe Mosjøen ENMS or, for a special challenge, Mo i Rana ENRA. The latter doesn’t have a straight-in approach, just a circling with a prescribed flight track. I’ll have to decide whether I feel up to that…
