The right wheel looks as if it has been driving on knife-blades. If anyone knows or have seen anything that can lead to what happened please notify Danne Marttinen.

 Our new members Rodervägen 4 (Jocke's old house) Russell Myles and Brenda Storey live in Blairgowrie in Scotland. Brenda is a freelance writer. Russell is a commercial helicopter pilot flying the Bölkow105 and EC135 for both the Police and Ambulance. He previously flew Boeing 757, 767 and Fokker F27 for the airlines after leaving the Royal Air Force. For fun he currently flies a single seat Fokker Eindecker E111 Replica (like the one in the Siljan "Flying Theatre"), and used to own a 50% scale replica P47 Thunderbolt. Now they are looking for a long distance touring aircraft to get from...

Beautiful morning in the airpark, double rainbow and 6 (six) cranes grazing in the fields!

A family of cranes caught in flight training of their youngster before the long journey to Spain.

Russel Myles, new SAPSmember (wife Brenda absent at the briefing) introduced by Danne at the Siljansnäs fly-over  briefing in Danne's hangar. Russel, an ambulance helicopter pilot, is looking forward to participate in next year's fly-over.

Silja Airpark presented 11 airplanes today at Siljansnäs Day. An initiative taken by Dane resulted in 11 airplanes from SAP did a fly-by during the festival.

Ingmar Lind commented on the planes and the pilots, and the fly-bys was a success! Musch applause and a fantastic demonstration of how little moderne airplanes disturb the environment both on the noise side and on the air pollution side. Alice Byrholt made a small video showing all the planes participating...

Something has changed in the airpark, something is different, something is missing. It took a couple of days to realize what we missed. The sound of trumpeting cranes at 2am!! One lonely crane occasionally walks the strip and the safety zones, but never more than one. In optimistic moments the guess is that one parents is taking care of the young one, cranes being very shy and their young ones vulnerable never leave them unguarded. A less optimistic view implies that the cranes have left our premises and prefer Olsnäs Bay. Well, you can’t win them all but if this is the case it is a great...

Danne Martinen took the initiative to invite SAPpilots to present their aircrafts at the Siljansnäs Day by flying over the church (safety distance, naturally!). 11 pilots already signed up, and a briefing will be held Friday at 7:00PM in Danne’s hangar. Great idea and great initiative.
