Skiflyging i Norge

Posted on 2016-06-11 by Webmaster Posted in Chairman Leave a comment
Vinter i Norge.
Jotunheimen.

Vinteren i Norge er mørk og våt, og jeg har lite flyaktivitet fra november og ut januar. Når vi kommer inn i februar blir det mere stabilitet i været og da tar jeg frem både ski og fly for å utforske den norske fjellheimen. Det er flere islagte vann som blir brøytet slik at man kan lande med hjul og ha med både ski og isfiskeutstyr.

Vinterflygingens høydepunkt er når flyklubbene i Valdres og Hallingdal inviterer til flysamling på Tyin ved foten av Jotunheimen den første uken i mai.

Flyleieren ligger på Otrøvann som ligger i ca 1000 moh., og deltagerne bor på hotell med frokost og middag like ved. Flyklubbene stiller med flere motorfly og seilfly med skiunderstell hele uken. Hvis værgudene er i det riktige lynnet er dette tiden der fjellheimen er på sitt beste.

Under årets samling var været fantastisk på slutten av samlingen og vi hadde noen flotte flyturer i den norske fjellheimen.

I en C172 over LAX

Posted on 2016-04-28 by Webmaster Posted in World President Leave a comment

IFFR Scandinavia-medlem Svend Andersen fra Danmark er påtroppende verdenspresident for IFFR. Her er hans rapport fra et besøk i California (tidligere publisert i det amerikanske IFFR-nyhetsbrevet):

Coming to Los Angeles for a week in mid January, I was glad to get the chance to meet up with Shirley More, Bev Fogle and Peter More again. Peter hosted a small gathering, which included local Rotary friends and the incoming DG from Hong Kong, Dr. Eric Chin and his wife Chrisine. It was a delightful evening with time to catch up and the chance to make new friends.

We also got to taste a 2004 LA wine from Bel Air, absolutely a bottle in the high end – Peter has friends in the right places.

A few days later, I got the chance to participate in the Rotary meeting at La Segundo RC. I was glad to get the chance to see Flying Rotarian Penelope Cornwall again. I always enjoy visiting Rotary Clubs when I am traveling. It is great to see the different ways meetings are conducted and the high level of commitment and activities there always is. I had to give up my British IFFR pin to Penelope, as she liked the design. I will have to see if I can get a new from one of our British members.

My Week in L.A. also gave me a chance to fly. The weather home is dreadful: foggy, rainy, cloudy and cold. It turned out Southern California was much the same, but one day offered some sunny spells so off I went to Santa Monica Airport. I got issued a C-172 and made my way through the LAX Special Flight Rules VFR crossing, one more tic at the bucket list.

The destination was Flabob Airport, suggested by Penelope. The airport is home to Chapter One in the EAA, and you are literally “coming around the mountain” when you’re in a left hand pattern to runway 24. It’s a great little airport, and good coffee is served at the diner. Weather briefing was a little basic but sufficient that day.

As I also got all my business done in the week the stay was good, and I enjoyed the benefits of our fellowship in full.

What is IFFR ?

The INTERNATIONAL FELLOWSHIP OF FLYING ROTARIANS welcomes all Rotarians who share an interest in aviation. You do not have to be a current pilot, or even a pilot at all. Your interest in aviation and being a Rotarian is all it takes to be a member.

The IFFR is an international organization enjoying the support of over 1,000 members world-wide. IFFR is divided into four regions Americas, Europe, Australia-Asia, and Africa.

The fellowship was formally established through the efforts of a dedicated Rotarian, E. Edison Kennell, of Seattle, Washington, in 1965.

The activities of IFFR bring together flying and non-flying Rotarians alike all over the world. Many members have flown their private aircraft over the oceans of the earth for conventions, fly-in events, Rotary service projects, and various other home club and district programs. International understanding has and will continue to benefit through the Fellowship.

The Scandinavian section of IFFR gathers about 100 members from Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Latvia, Norway and Sweden. Every year in connection to the Annual General Meeting the section will arrange a Fly-In where members from all over the world are invited to attend.
