It was early 2019, an idea from an old friend became an inspiration to plan an epical flying/camping/hiking trip and test the boundaries of flying capabilities of a little plane, the Tecnam P2002. But where? When? The Why we knew it, and was and the driving force of what came next.
July 28th, We raised the heavy loaded wheels from the southern alps grass airstrip of Cogliate (MI17) in marginal VFR weather heading to one of the dream destinations of many european GA pilots, Honningsvag, the farthermost tip of Norway aka Nordkapp!
18 days later we were back, grateful for the support received along the way from great people of the aviation community, thankful for the beauty and hospitality of all places and people met along the way.
Special thanks go to: Odd (we couldn’t be luckier to find you bro!), Rikke and Stian from Alta, Manfred and Hendrix from Jena, all the great soaring guys at Alleberg, Mikael from Hallefors (what a gyro club!), Bertil and Mats from Ostersund Flying Club, Kasper from Lofoten, Kristian from Jarlsberg, Svein and the amazing Tynset Flykubb, Lars from Hoganas, all the Avinor staff and the GREAT air traffic controllers of Norway.
In memory of Eleonora.
