A quick visit to Siljansnas in Sweden to check on things coincided with 6 inches of fresh powdery snow and temperatures of minus 14…
The clear skies and solar activity produced some nice northern lights displays:
And then it was back to instructing in the windows of good weather. Here landing at Dundee on a student’s first visit to another airfield…
Some days when the weather is clear we still can’t fly. This wing was covered in frost and took ages to clear…by the time the wing was “clean” (using brushes, deicing fluid and sunlight) the fog had rolled back in, so the flight was cancelled.
Despite the weather, instructing is quite fun. I lost my suction instrument covers and had to improvise a bit. The student doesn’t seem to mind…
A little bit of RVing as well, after the permit renewal. The weak watery winter sun makes for nice photographs:
A lesson in what not to do, taken from an instructor group in Whatsapp…
Ooops!
And a final look at Sweden on Flightradar24 to see if anything was going on and we came across this. Somebody is having too much fun!
Seasons greetings to all!
