Sweden, along road E45 west of Malung

Sweden, Siljansnäs airfield

This tiny airfield is beautiffully located on the south shore of the Siljan lake, in central Sweden.
By accident Friday the 13th (lucky day, in case !) late afternoon a local newspaper revealed the yearly
"Scandinavian light & homebuild aircradt fly-inn" was about to be held at Siljansnäs, just being a mere
25km from our holiday resort. But as also the Söderhamn museum was planned for this Saturday, it
turned out to be a long but fruitfull day of spotting ! Helicopters logged this day at Siljansnäs:
SE-JJV Robinson R44 Clipper II Copter Flug (bordeaux-rd cs, with titles)
SE-VJF Autogryo Europe MT03
SE-VJG Autogyro Europe MT03
SE-VJH Autogyro Europe MT03
SE-VJL Celier Aviation Xenon 02
SE-VNB Autogyro Euope Calidus 09
SE-VNE Autogyro Euope Calidus 09
SE-VNH Autogyro Europe MT0 Sport
SE-VNL Autogryo Europe MT0 Sport
The Robinson was used for pleasure flight.
Credit for the correct types of the autgyro's go to Rotorspot !

Sweden, Funäsdalen heliport

This brand-new heliport (built 2008) is loacted some 150 SW of Ostersund.
The hangar (large windows !) is easy accessible and along the main road east of the village
Funäsdalen, close to the Norwegian border. Unlucky time pressure a.k.a. bored children prevented
close inspection..........

regards, Remco
