I saw this BRM Aero Bistell B23 on Flightradar24 scheduled to arrive at EKSN yesterday, but I couldn't make it to the airport. Luckily, it was still there this morning, so I had a chance to photograph it and chat with the owners. They were a lovely retired couple from Germany, making their way to Norway to do some aerial photography.

What a day! Plenty of airplanes, and plenty of opportunities to chat. The highlight of the day was undoubtedly a Mooney 252 TSE (reg. F-GLEJ) that made its way to ESKN all the way from Iceland. It was great to chat with its two super-friendly pilots and hear their stories.

We visited the Sæby Glider Club and enjoyed good weather, glider flights, coffee, and cakes. Flying in a glider was quite an experience!

An eventful day in CNL today. The flight club had an open house, with quite a few visiting airplanes. I took hundreds of photos, and for the first time in my life I flew an ATEC 321 Faeta ultralight airplane. I loved every second of it! Despite a rather bumpy flight, I managed to take a handful of aerial photos, including the Rudbjerg Knude Fyr.

Aerobatic monoplane Extra NG — this is one of the most beautiful airplanes I've ever photographed. I had a chat with its friendly pilot today, and I hope I'll have an opportunity to capture it again. Luckily, he is based at CNL, so 🤞

Another sunny and windy day in CNL with nothing going on. But I spent most of the time chatting with a fellow flight club member. And when he left, I dug up a book about airplanes dating back to 1958 and enjoyed learning about what it was like to fly from Copenhagen to Los Angeles on a Douglas DC-7C.

New obsession — clouds. Well, not really, because clouds have always fascinated me, and I have countless snapshots lingering in my photo library. But now a passing interest is turning into something more serious. Or maybe not. We'll see.

I think this one is altocumulus.

No airplanes to photograph today in CNL. Actually, there was an ultralight practicing touch-and-goes, but I don't think I managed to bag any decent photos. Still, I had a pair of barn swallows to keep me company. They built a nest under the airport building's roof, and I watched them flying to and fro. At some point, they got pretty curious about me and sat on a fence studying yours truly. I think they (correctly) decided that I posed no threat, so they went about their business and didn't mind me.
