Tower Dog, I have flown around Norway a few times - to Stavanger mostly, but also Oslo and Andoya Island
Brr..Hopefully ya did not fly there in the winter?

In my youth I flew skydivers in C-206s in Norway..In the winter, without a door..Temps on the ground -20 C, at 10,000 feet a lot colder and blowing gale-force winds in the cabin as the double door was removed...Windchill factors was minus a million but being in the business of building flight time I did all that and more..

Then I screwed up and emigrated to Alaska..More cold and more icy flying.

No wonder I want to buy a condo in the US Virgin Islands. Balmy weather, beatiful diving and world class sailing.

Just have to put up with some of the natives, a few of them would like to rob and kill you.
Being big and ugly and somewhat street-smart I will probably survive, but the pudgy pale tourist with his Rolex and his gold chains better not be wandering too far of the beaten path in the dark.
Or his ass be grass.

(Not saying this lightly guys, I have seen friends and neighbors robbed, raped and killed in the islands: It is not Disney-Land regardless what SD says)
