Mountains and fjords - flying in Western Norway

In Norway we have lots of tiny airports, that are trafficked by the leading regional airline in Scandinavia, Wideroe, and by air ambulances (Norsk Lufttransport) comprising of Beech King Air 200's. Most of the airports have runways that are about 2,500 to 3,000 feet long, and Wideroe's Dash 8-100's and the King Airs are just about the only larger airplanes capable of landing there. As you can see from the video below, the scenery can be quite spectaculare, with lots of mountains and fjords. Click on the video, and enjoy the approach and landing into Orsta/Volda airport in the western part of Norway!
