Pre-Christmas Flight Culminated With Hair Raising Approach

Featured Replies

Shalom and greetings all my pals,

Presenting pre-Christmas flight from ENFB Fornebu Oslo Airport which was the primary international airport serving Oslo 1939 to 1998 locating at Fornebu 5.0 miles from the city center of Oslo to ENTC Tromsø Airport situated on the western shore of the island of Tromsøya and located at Langnes in the city of Tromsø in Tromsø Municipality, Norway

The flight was supposed to be served by 737-500 but because too many people working in Oslo are going home to their families in Tromso for Christmas forcing the airline to switch from 735 to brand new 767-200 to handle volume traffic of holiday travellers.

Gate number 38 finished disconnecting from the plane fully and heavily boarded with excited passengers enjoying the factory fresh scent of interior of the new plane with tons tons of Christmas presents in its luggage holds.
