Passing Ivalo (EFIV) Turning to follow the coast of Norway Over northern Norway - strangely enough the route given by Goodway took me back over Finnish Lapland, then back again to Norway :o

Fjords seen from 39000 feet Heading north towards Svalbard Nice view of the landscape (the scenery tiles are already getting distorted this far north)

Cruising towards Svalbard with Scabral alongside in a 737 Beginning descent Approaching Svalbard

The field of view is only 50 degrees, but some pics still look wide-angle due to the distorted env files

Cloud formations Glacier on fire The first try at an approach to ENSB (but with two other planes on the same approach I had to go around as well)

Going around A second attempt at the runway 28 approach

Safely down (despite another plane appearing in the middle of the runway while I was on final - with full reverse thrust I managed to stop before colliding with it) Scabral landing right behind me (I think)
