airplane status is all good engines running, propeller spinning, we`re headed almost straight up north tonight. After leaving Cologne and passing by Hannover, Bremen and Hamburg we`re now almost abeam Copenhagen, weather has cleared and we have a nice view a the ships sailing the balitc sea below. We`ll at least we can see their lights…

It´s half past 12 local time and still its dusk, the sky ahead (direction north) is still glowing in a fantastic varierty of colours. So far the remaing lights helps a lot to fight of the tiredness. As minutes pass we keep pushing north and after another 30min its time to start the descend towards oslo, our destination tonight.

After an eventless landing at an airport still very much a sleep we have to wait for a couple of hours and wait for the cargo for the return flight.Amazingly the sky is still lightly light, and while we head for a coffee daylight is rapidly approaching.The clouds are still dark but the sky above is allright light up brightly.

By the time we finished loading its infact still very early morning (around 4 local) and our plane sits on the ramp in broad daylight. So ist sunshade time again!

Still traffic is very light to not existiong so after a smooth departure we get a lovely direct of more than half the route and are southbound again heading for Hahn airport with a fully loaded plane.
