Sola Aeroclubs LN-JAL. I was on the board getting to choose to buy this beauty from Denmark back in 2006, then with the registration OY-JAL. She has leather seating, good night lighting for night flying and the awsome startbuttons overhead! Love it!
Cessna 177RG Cardinal
The beautiful LN-NFF. Love the Cessna with no wingstruts. When you get the undercarrage retracted she looks great and flyes fast, taking you where you want to go smooth and nice. This one once did not want to get al the gears down and locked on me, but upon landing it was al sorted out. Will fly her again anytime. Here parked at Plattform 5 at Sola Airport south.

Photo of brand new PK-BVI taken at Susi Air's trainingbase beach landingstrip. Pangandaran on Java, Indonesia vinter of 2010.
