Re: Kristiansund Airport - Kvernberget
One of the things in my mind before I retired 20 years ago was learning to fly. Oh, please don't scoff at me, folks. For various reasons I have never done it. The smallest passenger aircraft I've been in is probably the Fokker Friendship or - more likely - the little plane from Akureyri to Reykjavik in 1986 where I had my map of Iceland on my lap and, looking out of my window at the ground below, traced the route all the way. That went some small way towards that feeling of freedom in the air that you flyers must experience. Yes, I know the freedom wasn't real, the aircraft was confined to a specified height, route, etc. but it was just the feeling I delighted in, something not so compelling in large commercial aircraft, although that can have its magic, too.
I think I can understand the deep regret and nostalgia you must feel because that freedom has now been more or less extinguished.
