Flight

My good friend Andreas Korsnes was so kind taking me with on his flyinglesson! He are taking the smallplane-certificate and wants to be certificated for larger planes and be pilot! On short time we was in both Elverum, Hamar and Toten! Little bit silly to be at the places Im used to drive hours in car between on short time in plane! This was truly a great and exiting experince!

Pulling the plane out of the hangar!

Refueling the petroltanks in the wings.

Andreas the pilot-apprentice, Im so proud of him! It worked as he always got full control so I felt safe!


"Kraftig sidevind fra høyre og vindkast gjorde dette til en vanskelig landing. Litt før landing hører man "stall warning" alarmen på grunn av et vindkast."

Training on steep swings in 8-numbers! It was quite dizzy!

Wow, dizzy manauver!


"Innflyging og landing (touch and go) på Starmoen Flyplass (Elverum) i en 99 Piper Archer III. Under takeoff holder vi oss rett over rullebanen og bygger fart før vi drar hardt opp. "

Another landing at Starmoen Airport(Elverum)! 33 km(airline) from Hamar Airport we leaved from.

Apprentice and instructor.

Im sitting back. We stayed in touch with another with headset because of the noise from the motor.

Did you see this plane ower Hamar-area saturday in between 12 and 1430? This is my friend from another flight!


Here is following some photos of great views ower Hamar and the country around!

The ridge at the top to left is Vangsåsen/Steinfjellet.

Somewhere in the Løten-fields I think.

Israelsupport

I was on supportmeeting for Israel in Oslo at the Bigthing(the parliament). Im supporting Israel because I think the war and slaugthing of civils is most Hamas guilt because they are shooting so many missils to Israel that Israel have to take affair to protect them self and Hamas is using the civils as shield when Israel only are trying to destroy Hamas weapens and military structure. Maybe it neigther would be possible to mediate with Hamas when they are so evil and Allah and Muhammed has ordred them to destroy the jews. I dont think Israel had much other choice than attacking Gaza other than surrender to Hamas and let let them do more horrible thing and kill more civils after time is going than Israel has done in Gaza. And I think media is representing conflict wrong and conspiring because it isnt popular to support Israel.

And outside the Polices ironring there was a furious and violent counterdemonstration of palestinians and muslims! They was throwing both bottles, eggs, stones and fireworks at us and the police!

It was cool to see police in action, they was good prepared with helmets, shields, cs-gas, gas-masks, trailers with big grid-shields, fences and 2 helicopters ower the Israelsupportmeeting. After the meeting I was seeing police chasing rebels with gridshield-trailers and cs-gas up the street and that was action!

Later the police had to take affair and was coming riding on horses, with dogs and CS-gas against the violent palestinian demonstration. They answered with sending fireworks and firebomb against police, it was dramatic and caotic! It was the worst street-disturbances in Norway since start of the 80s, and they continued afterwords razing the city and fight against police and Israel-friends. I didnt got any good photos of the counterdemonstration or in the right moments. And I neigther dared to go nearer with Davidstars in face and Israel-flag on my chest and back. Right after this the supportmeeting was abrupted because the cs-gas was spreading so we only had to escape from the place because the cs-gas were too painful!

And a nice boy asking me to take photo of him with his pathetic poster :)

I was entering free at the end of the national broadcastet sportsaward from one of the olympic arenas in Hamar from OL 1994. This is when Norways sportstriumphs and the athlets is celebrated and get awards.

I have always been fascinated of crane-cameras!

Londontrip

Foto: Øyvind Karstad

26-30. june I went to London and visited my cousin who has worked there this year in a church and for the homeless. And a totally casually coinsidence was that two very good friends(father and son) should travel to London the same days and we too rushed the same plane(and train and bus) home without knowing nothing about eachothers plans before we ordered tickets, thats a crazy coincidence! So it was nice to be with them too in London. And me and my dear cousin had it nice togheter these days and was doing in interesting things, and it was friendly that he invited me to London and hosted and guided me.

First I can tell about two occasions we dont have photos from. We was on revivalmeeting in Kensington Temple, it was mighty and great rocknroll-worship and some people was momentary healed from eyedisceases in front of all(just like last blogpost) who was that days special prayer-request.
The other occasion was when I played the organ of St. Pauls Cathedral!, that was one of my greatest organ-dreams who was possible to arrange because I have a friend who had a friend who knowed the organist playing this weekend in Cathedral and they was so kind to arrange playing for me at the cathedralorgan! This friend too was coming since he lives near London in the summers. Øyvind and Nils-Helge got permission to take video and photos when I played, but only to private use so I cant publish it here. Great experience to try one of Europes largest organs in one of the worlds largest churches! St. Pauls Cathedral are to the most beautiful and mighty building I ever have seen.
I should have photographed more but I had poor batterys and too small place on my memorychip. But I have borrowed some photos from my friends.

Looks like a impressionistic painting.

The gigantic and spectacular wheelcostruction of London Eye!

I and Øyvind was up in London Eye.

London Eye is 135 m high. We was up in the ultimate time when the riwer(strainght under) was low. I thought on Fantastic 4 when London Eye almost is collapsing before the heroes are coming.

Here we just have boarded London Eye after have been trough metaldetector and sent luggage through X-rayscan. At the station the guards are to going thru each capsule with metaldetectors before capsule can be boarded again.

One of the long escalator-shafts in the underground. Its amazing tunnel and corridor-system in the underground. And always amazing to stay in the undergroundstations and first hear the mystical train-sounds from the tunnel, and then the train are coming in fast speed out of the tunnel(out of the hole who is exactly suiting the train), and than it slam on the brakes on the station. Have no pics of that.
My german-norwegian cousin with the ultimate London-background.

Skynews had live-coverage from Buchingham Pallace! Cool to see them backstage and with 2 sattelitcares.
Here in the roof ower the dome in St. Pauls Cathedral, its almost 80 m down to the floor!

In the tower of St. Pauls with great panorama

Never before had we looked a so huge movie-screen and it two was almost clearer image than reality!

We looked on the great movie Narnia-Prince Caspian in the 1330-seats THX-screen in Leicester Square Empire.

The King on Narnia and his servant.

Narnia-floor in Leicester Empire Square.

This is the London-skyline with London Eye, St.Pauls cathedral etc. seen from Richmond Park. St Pauls is fx 15 km away.

Wembley stadium seen from Richmond Park almost 12 km away in fact, so that gives an impression of the great stadium.
We walked in Richmond Park to a place totally shilded from the city and we could imagine that we was far out in the country.
We found a idyllic little lake, we wanted to take a bath but we didnt have bathclothes so we only waded and restet with feets in the clear water. Here I have zoomed down to this place in Google Earth!

The spanish had party in the streets after the WorldCup-soccer-finale! In Picadilly circus they had climbed up on the fountain/monument as you see in video. That was cool!, London centrum was totally caotic and many cars and busses was beeping rythms steady.

Photo: Øyvind Karstad
Always amazing to see the police in action! They shaped a wall and than forced the spanish peoples down from the monument, and afterword maked ironring around monument. They didnt get down the people on the top, who still stood there and was making show to much response from all the spanish people around on the square.

This is Øyvind at the terminal in Paddington station with the gigantic vault! We took the train to Heathrow from here.

This is at Heathrow. At the runway to terminal 3 it works as its constant queue of 3-5 planes to take of. And this is only one of 3 runways on Heathrow and one of 4 airports in London.
