Royal Norwegian Air Force military flying school
Bardufoss flystasjon
Located 280km (174miles) above the Arctic Circle, Bardufoss Air Station (AS), Troms, is home to the Luftvorsvaret Flygeskole (LFS, or Air Force Flying School) of the Royal Norwegian Air Force (RNoAF). Together with Elmar Keetman I visited the LFS in June 2010, to see and report on how the RNoAF selects and trains their future pilots.
The article on the LFS has been published in Air International (worldwide), Aeronautica (Slovenian/Croatian), Jwings (Japanese), Lotnictwo (Polish) and Flynytt (Norwegian), PTISI (Hellenic) magazine. A big thanks goes out to the 139th Air Wing and the LFS 2010-1 class and instructors.
