RE: Gardermoen Snapshot!
One thing though, as a native of Oslo, i should let you know that picture 2, with the house is in fact from the old Oslo Airport “Fornebu”. The fog ones i have no idea, but the rest are from Gardermoen 🙂
Gardermoen was finished in 99, and the move was done during the night. They had hundreds of trucks driving back and forth thru the night, and Gardermoen opened next morning with no problems!
Fornebu was located just 20 minutes from the city centre, but as the city grew and real estate prices at the airport skyrocketed, they finally decided to move. The old airport was situated at prime real estate along the Oslo fjord, some of the best (and most expensive) real estate in the country. The new airport Gardermoen is situated next to an old military air base with the same name and has two runways. Fornebu had only one, and it was quite short.
I miss it though, when you flew in you flew across the seaside of the city and land only appeared under the aircraft seconds before touching down! (The runway lights were standing on poles in the sea infront of the runway).
Ok enough ranting 🙂
Lars.
