As i joined at OSL, I missed the US events, but my-oh-my – there was plenty left to enjoy.
Got up early and had breakfast at Radisson Blu, where I spent the night after arriving from my corporate HQ at Mosjøen the night before. Snow was falling and it was obvious that the deicing folks would be kept busy this November morning,
After getting my boardingpass and meeting some of the other participants, we proceeded to the gate, from where we were bussed over to the SAS Hangar where the first event would take place.
From the hangar, we could see D-ABON touch down on the snowy runwa.y
SAS put a great effort into making this a great event, with folk dance, food&drink, exhibitions and several interesting speakers. SAS Flight Attendent Kristin also impressed with her singing – especially the second song performed on the wing of a Boeing 737-705. She seemed very comfortable on that stage.

One of our excellent hosts wanted a good angle for some shots.
The same 737 was converted to MEDEVAC configuration to demonstrate how SAS assists to bring wounded citizens out of disaster areas or warzones. It was NOT the new Business Class.

Time to board.
Undersigned about to climb on board.
El Condor Pasa. This thing is LONG. I have a long standing relationship to the 757-300 through my days with ATA. I love this plane!
No, it’s not Transformers. Time for deicing.
Ah – 18 year old Talisker ...
Cabin service was smooth – if not elegant. At lest they didn’t have to collect cash!
