Today's photos come from Voss in Western Norway. As part of an Extreme Sports week, there was a lot of extra skydiving going on. Even better is the fact that there is a picnic table and chairs at the end of the runway, so perfect for getting shots on the approach. Here are a few:-

A Beech 99 Airliner from Germany, being used to take up 12+ skydivers at a time (spot the pieces that are common to the Beech 1900D):











and a Cessna 421B Golden Eagle from Bergen doing an air taxi job:



and a couple of shots of an Italian registered Pilatus PC-6, also being used for skydiving operations:





Smooth landings.

Looks like a really beautiful airport. I like the registration on that PC-6 too.
