Bodø, pronounced as "Boo-duh", located mid-Norway, is the country's main fighter base. Bodø is the northern end of the railroad network of Norway and is located on an unsheltered peninsula in the Norwegian Sea. The base houses two F-16 squadrons of the Royal Norwegian Air Force and a detachment of Sea King helicopters. The airfield is also the home base of Widerøe, the largest regional airline in Scandinavia. Viewing possibilities are rather good here, and to make your visit even more worth you while aast of the airfield along the Olav V gate you will find the Norsk Luftfartsmuseum.
Beware, photography at military installations is generally not allowed in Norway.
Bodø has single 07/25, east-west runway. The civil terminal is located to the north side of the runway, as are some shelters. The southern area is home to the military and is dotted with shelters. The museum can be found on the north east side. As the airfield is located on a peninsula, its impossible to reach the west and south side of the airfield over land.
You can go to Bodø by train, plane, or by car. The airport is close by the city and you will reach it by taking the Olav V gate in western direction. The airfield is clearly signposted.
