 06. July 2005   A visitor from Switzerland on Skogn Airfield.

Emil Röllin from Freienwit in Switzerland is currently touring Norway in his 49 years old Cessna 170B. His goal is to visit as many of the airports and airfields in our country.
He litteraly came out of the blue around nine in the evening Wednesday 06.June.2005. Tore Grøneng was doing Preflight check on his Atec when we heared the humm from a light aircraft overhead. A Cessna 170B taildragger made a crosswind in 1000 feet before it flew the landing pattern and made a perfect three point landing. A smiling Swiss gentleman climbed out of the aircraft.


Here is Emil Röllin sitting on the left mainwheel, talking with the airport cat.

We had a long chat with Emil. He is now retieredand is using the summer to tour Norway with his airplane. We were really impressed with how many of the big and small airfields and smaller strips he had visited so far. Earlier on the same day he had visited  Oyan, Breivika, Statsbygd, Henning, Snasa og Gaundalen. He had also made low passes over Formofoss og Stor Amdal, but didn't take the risk landing there. In fact several of our members have not visited all those airfields yet!


Emil Röllin

He had ferried the airplane  himself from Canada i 1997. He flew via New Foundland, Greenland and  Iceland. The airplane is a 1956  Cessna 170B taildragger. Despite it was 49 years old it was so flawless it almost looked new.
He told us he washed the airplane every morning at 06:00. Behind the seats he had placed a madrass so he could sleep in it.


This is the first light aircraft to land on Skogn Airfield. Until now it has only been microlights. Since the light aircraft was from another country, we can now call it "Skogn International Airport".

Emil didn't have time to stay longer. There were still more airfields to visit.


Running up the engine before take off.


He used less than half the strip to take off.



He made one pass over the airfield before he headed for Oyan in Meraker.

Its people like Emil Röllin that make us realise what a wonderful hobby flying is. Just fly around exploring new places and airfields. And a great opportunity to meet new friends.
