Shalom and greetings all my pals,

Descending from FL300 to 10,000 ft

Maneuvering through mountains or high hills above rivers in northern Norway can be exciting

Time to make very tight 180 degree right turn toward airport runway 17 that is visible in background

Still making tight turn to avoid high mountains and valleys!

Posted Image

Making lots of maneuvering adjustments toward runway to battle Arctic winds
