My first flight ever flight was in a CV-440 Linjeflyg in the early 70:s. Since then I'm a Propliner fan. I've just modified the latestv version of the Calclassic 440 that I now use, with Jens Kristenssens Linjeflyg paintings, reminding me of that flight. Nice, Jens!
Now I'm waiting for 3 DVD:s from Avion Video, "Corrosion Corner", "Bronson Creek" and "Douglas DC3 in the 21st Century". I'll guess I'll get stuck by the TV-screen, when they arrive. Anyone who watched them?

I have the Bronson Creek DVD and it is a very good presentation of bush flying in Alaska and Canada. I know you will enjoy it; and It is also fun to fly in flight sim.

Thanks! Yes, bush flying is fun. Froson and the city nearby, Ostersund, was the base of the late Gunnar Andersson, called "Spökis" (Spooky) after som courier-missions in the Swedish Air Force in the wartime 40:s. He later created a system of transport and ambulance flights in the swedish mountains, flying Cessnas, a Norseman and a Seabee, som other models, and later helicopters. A swedish bush flyer. The "Biggles" or "Mr Wien" of Sweden. His company still exist, run by his granddaughter. But sadly the Norseman is gone. I'll give you an url. www.jamtlandsflyg.se/english.html Stick to the english page and links. Most of the site is in swedish. You can see his granddaugter Sara Grinde on the top of the page. |
