2017-09-05 Örebro and Nyköping
Saturday in Örebro and Sunday in Nyköping.
I have had the great offer of flying Mikael Carlson's Tummelisa with him on the "dogfight display", I was at Mikael earlier this summer and flew his Ö1 Tummelisa. It's a great machine with everything as it was in the early 1900s, even rotary radial engine! In Örebro, it was my first dogfight display with Mikael in his Fokker D.VII. Very fun flight and fun to make it public.

Nyköping, F11 skavsta airshow, was organized on Sunday. Unfortunately, it was a very rainy day with mostly rain all the time, everyone could complete their flights despite the rain when it was relatively good cloud base. There were surprisingly many people to be a rainy day.

2017-08-12 Aerobaltic in Gdynia Poland
I was down to Poland and Gdynia with my cub, the first time outside Sweden with it. It is not easy to fly such an old and slow aircraft far. The first day (9/8) was the day I had the worst weather, headwind and rain that forced me a little detour and to stay in Jönköping and wait a few hours before I could continue south towards Sövde / Sjöbo which was the final destination of the day. The next day it was time to cross the Baltic Sea. I had taken my route across Bornholm and onwards towards the poland then more east overland to Gdynia. It went painlessly and the whole flight down had taken about 9 hours. Friday and Saturday evening there was an evening show for me outside the port / beach in Gdynia. It was a nice event and a lot of visitors, 200,000 spectators visited the event. Sunday there was too much headwind for me to go back to Sweden again so I stayed until Monday before I could fly back to Sweden.
First stop in Jönköping
Day 2 heading south, leaving Sweden behind and go for Bornholm and for Poland.

2017-08-05 Mora Airshow
Mora Flygshow blev ett trevligt arrangemang trots att vädret inte var det allra bästa. Det regnade och var låga moln, men trots detta kom det ganska mycket besökare och alla piloter kunder genomföra någon flygning. Det är dessa dagar det är tufft att vara uppvisningspilot när man ska leverera trots att förhållandena inte är de bästa och göra det på ett professionellt och säkert sätt. Här är några bilder:

Jag Sofia och Karl bestämde oss för att göra en spontan minisemester på Gotland. Vi tog klubbens Pa28 och flög till Gotland för lite cykelsemester. Vi flög till Bunge där vi också övernattade en natt. Vi hyrde varsin cykel och cyklade runt på fårö, det blev ca 10mil på cykel under 2 dagar. Vi hade väldigt fint väder både där och på vägen dit och hem. Dit gick vi på FL100 men hem fick vi gå lite lägre då det fanns en del moln högre. Här är några bilder:
