Last Sunday (the 10th of Mars) was time for the annual Fly Inn at the lake Vermundsjøen in the of SE Norway.
As usual, it was hosted by MAF (Mission Aviation Fellowship) who is a Christian organization operating planes around the world, "flying for life".

The Fly Inn also consists of Sunday Mass and the priest, who is a GA-pilot, flies in with his bright yellow 172.
For a few hours, this lake is one of the busiest airports in Norway
The wifey and me flew up there, flying as a 2-ship with a Lancair.
Here we are parked on the ice along side of a Bird Dog:
Here's a few pics of the area:
The church is a beautiful old one, located on the lakeshore:
The church was pretty full:
And here's the priest, wearing his flight-suit during the last half of the Mass.
(For the first half, he wore the traditional outfit as seen on the pic above)
A 14 year girl, wearing a traditional Norwegian outfit, sang a few songs, and she was a very good singer:
At the end of part 2 of this post, you'll find a link to a 2 minute film from the Fly Inn. You'll see alittle from the Mass and also hear the "top Gun Theme, played as the Postludium to the Mass.
After Mass, it was time to look at all the planes. There where a few RV's around too:
