Just shut down at Leknes. The wall was sharper than last week — stayed east of the ridge the whole way and caught the last bit of sun on the rock face.
If anyone wants company on this route tonight, shout. Cub weather, no autopilot.

noraThat wall never gets old. What local time was this?
Quick question for the Alpine Approaches hangar — is anyone seeing broken layer around 6000 over the ridge this morning? Thinking of LOWI → LSZS before it builds.

bushkateI'd go early. That valley fills fast.
Gravel between the lakes. Approach took more patience than fuel. Reminder: if the strip looks quiet, it usually is — until the crosswind picks up on short final.

Three islands before the meltemi woke up. Rule still stands: morning only. Afternoon wind turned the last hop into a workout.

fjordflyWater colour is unreal. Nice write-up.
Anyone else flying coastal under a high overcast tonight? Thinking EHAM → EHGG the long way — grey water, wet runways, quiet radio. Looking for a wingman on Discord voice.

alpine.mikeThat sky is pure chart paper. I'm in if the timing works.
Out of Innsbruck before the valley filled. Ridge still clear at 09:15. Posted a few frames from the crossing below.

Hangar tip: if you are new to Norway VFR, fly the Lofoten wall once in clear weather before you try it with low cloud. The scenery will still be there next week.
