Since the last attempts to get permission to fly in to Svalbard were declined by the Govenor, I have noticed that a new one has taken over the office - (Kjerstin Askholt is the new Governor of Svalbard. She came into office on October 1 2015.)

I wonder if she would have a more lenient view on GA visits to her wonderfully remote airport?

Just a thought.... :D

GG-33, you really do need two avatars, the old one and the new one.

I would certainly be up for a return visit. Indeed, I have someone pestering me at this very moment for next April (but arriving commercially). It would be fab if you could write to her and explain that we would be there to check out the local wildlife (I still don't know how we got away with our lives in the hotel bar that night when we approached by those two locals :shock: :lol:, perhaps they were a bit too 'wild'). See what she says.
