Swede, thank you so much for your contribution. I was waiting for someone from your neck of the woods to post some first-hand info.
I am looking at Scandinavia, and particularly Sweden, to hire an aircraft sometime in the next couple months for 15-25 hrs of touring. I was wondering if there are any recommendations you might be able to give as to specific clubs to look into. Ideally I'm after either a bog-standard VFR four-seater (only two pilots, but I like the extra margin), but it'd also be interesting if I can find a reasonably-priced DA-40 or a DA-42 somewhere (I am, obviously, MEIR qualified).
Any ideas, anywhere in Sweden (or even Norway) would be much appreciated. I can Ryanair myself into the country and don't mind at all driving for a few hours to reach some remote club if need be.
IceHeli, thanks to you also for the very interesting information.
