Nice long flight over the fjords.

Mie_V, Jan 2026

Doubtful and Dusky Sound cannot be translated into English! We were informed the day before the flight that it would not take place due to adverse weather. Luckily we were able to fly the day before. And it was sunny. It was an incredibly beautiful and long flight over the beautiful fjords with two spectacular landings. The pilot gave a lot of explanation, was super friendly and took good care of our safety.
