Thanks
to the
shoulder position of
the wings a good view in
all directions is possible |

The
plane
is very stable in the air with
a good climbing ability and
is nice to handle in
the turns. |

Major Erling 'Grandpa' Flobak,

Instructor
and student sit side by side and have good eye-contact and view on the
instruments. |

Even
for aerobatics the small plane lends itself well where the limits are at
+6 G and-3G |

Small
villages pass under us, the upper North is thinly populated |

After
an hours flight it's obvious the weather turns into worse, and we fly back
to Bardufoss airbase |

The
sun just over the mountainridge can fool the camera, as it seems to be
evening here... |
![](/2012/04-PenV/Vliegschool/extra%20(2).JPG) |

it's half on the day. |
