Four Days in May

The first four days of May had some spectacularly good soaring weather in Norway. I spent the days at Notodden, where the longest flights in Norway were flown. On one of the days, four of the five longest flights in the world were flown by us! (though longest of all was by Jan-Ola Nordh in Sweden). And personally I flew all my four longest flights I have ever done during this week (the fourth one was actually flown a few days earlier on April 27th), with the longest being 725 km, as scored by OLC.

I flew these flights almost entirely together with Per Morten Løvsland, as he got to fly Sandefjord’s LS8 for all of the days. On some days we were joined in our formation by other gliders too. It was a lot of fun to team fly like this, and we got quite good at it by the end! After this Per Morten and I were topping the Norwegian cross country contest. In fact the top five positions are currently held by pilots flying from Notodden during these days!

In total I flew more than 30 hours and over 2,200 km over the four days, by far the most and longest I’ve flown in such a short timespan!
