Did a trip to Maarud NE of Oslo last week. Maarud is a farm that is allso the location of one of Norways largest crips factories. (Brand name Maarud :D ) Very nice grass strip next to the river, that is very welcoming to visitors.

Not all of Norway is mountains and snow 8)

Passing Oslo on the left, plenty green zones around the city.

Kjeller/ENKJ is Norways oldest airfield, and busiest GA airport. The airfield is under threat from developers as the MIL maint facility for F-16s on the airfield is closing with phase out of the F-16 in RNoAF service next year. No alternative for Oslo GA is really on the cards. Sad……

Following the Glomma river, Norways longest.

Maarud, så må ru - as they say. Never knew it was an actual farm and certainly never knew they had a strip there - thanks for posting :thumleft:

Just under 150NM from my home base (ESGP). Definitely a candidate for a day trip now that I have my Covid passport. The web site listed in Skydemon appears to be wrong. Do you have another?

I didn't know Kjeller was under threat: really sad. A perfect destination to get to central Oslo: 15 minutes walk and 10 minutes train.

Strike that: by manually adding "https" it works fine. A lovely weekend destination.
