In today´s episode, we welcome two friends from Scandinavia: Jan Hafsås from Norway and Lars Najbjerg from Denmark.Lars has flown so many airplanes underneath the sun and also in very nasty polar weather. He is a former Royal Danish Airforce fighter pilot having flown the mighty “taildragger” Saab F35 Draken and also the F16 Viper. He is a skydiver, a commercial pilot and he won the 2013 Nordic Aerobatic Championship on the experimental aerobatic plane he built himself. Lars discovered bush flying a few years ago and turned his interested towards the Zlin Savage Cub. Probably because you just put it on like the Viper!Jan grew up watching his father building and flying RC planes then later flying with him after he got an old Rans aircraft. Although having spent a lot of free time at the local airfield during his childhood, Jan finally started his pilot’s license 4 years ago and bought his Zlin Savage Classic during the middle of his training. Being an outdoor enthusiast, he very quickly discovered the amazing possibilities of the Norwegian backcountry and has been flying quite a lot since then both on bush wheels and skis.Together they explain us how they came to aviation, what it means to fly their backcountry UL/LSAs in Scandinavia and we even talk about Greenland as the last (European) Frontier for bush flying.If you want to learn more about Lars, checkout his "Bushflyers - Aviation School" page on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/bushflyersMusic credits: "Slowly", Amon Tobin - Supermodified, 2000
