Flying a helicopter across the Norwegian Sea!
Join us for a very special helicopter ride out over the Norwegian Sea with Lufttransport, from Bodø to the remote island of Værøy – part of the stunning Lofoten archipelago. The trip is just 53 miles or 85 kilometers long, more or less a straight line out toward the northwest from Bodø. We're flying on the sleek Leonardo AW139, and we'll be cruising at an altitude of 1400 feet going out, then on the way back at just 700 feet over the sea, just as the sun comes out. Gorgeous!Plus we've got Sophia along for the ride as well. And not only did the sun come out, but got to perform a circuit right around the entire island before heading back to Bodø. What a treat it was to see this place from the air like this. We've got plenty of amazing views and rotor action plus we'll even have a little chat with the pilots.
What’s extra cool in this helicopter is it can taxi out to the runway just like an airplane does, unlike those on skids which need other equipment if you want to move them around on the ground. The gear also retracts during flight.
There was once an airport on Værøy that could handle fixed wing aircraft, but it was only open for four years. After a fatal crash due to high winds causing structural failure on a Twin Otter, it was closed, and eventually this heliport was constructed as the alternative. This is what’s known as a PSO route, or public service obligation – that means it’s an essential air route for residents and so is subsidized by the government.
Price paid: $131 roundtrip per person
