Here are some videos from Norway with an unusual vantage point.<\/p>\n
I am childishly fascinated by planes and aviation. I am enjoying the many cockpit videos shared on the internet. Every once in a while I fire up the Microsoft Flight simulator and play around.<\/p>\n
Piloting big planes like the Boeing 747 pr Airbus 380 is an impressive task, but the real flying aces are the guys and gals who command the small airplanes flying in and out of the short airstrips in mountainous Norway. A lot of the time hand flying, i.e. the pilot fly with hands on yoke and throttle steering the plane by sight.<\/p>\n
Wideroe Dash 8-100 flight from Sogndal Hauk\u00e5sen (ENSG) to Sandane Anda (ENSD). Takeoff from runway 06 at Sogndal and visual approach over Sandane with a landing at 09. Sandane airport is featured on a list of the worlds 10 most dangerous airports, particularly due to the difficult approach and short runway which drops into the sea at both ends.<\/p>\n
