The next event at the museum that I know of, is our Warbirds of Norway fly-in the 17th september (weather permitting). I do not know if the shop doors will be open then, but I would say it is a fairly good chance for it.
Anyhow, if you visit that day, you will have chance to see a few airworthy veterans in the museum backyard as a bonus.. 🙂

Unfortunatly the WoN fly-in planned for the 17th september is cancelled because of operational reasons.

The workshop is usually closed to visitors, but they often let people in there when there is some kind of event going on at the museum.
I guess it’s a matter of having enough staff to take care of the safety/security.

In a few weeks time, I’ll be making a one day trip to Gardermoen in Norway. Target is the aviation museum there, but gathering info on it from the internet isn’t very succesfull so far. My main question is how to get from the airport to the museum. Can this best be done by walking , bus , taxi? Another question is the light inside the museum, is a tripod needed or is handheld photography possible with 100 or 200 iso? Thanks for any info. BW Roger

Walking is a bit long, so I would recommend a taxi.
The light inside the museum isn’t that bad. The roof windows pluss the lamps lights up the display hall quite well.
But, for taking pictures at that low iso I guess I would recommend a tripod and a good flash. None of the aircraft is suspended form the roof and there is no barriers around the aircraft so you can get really close to all the aircraft.

According to their website the opening times is:

16. juni / juli / 15. august
thuesday, wednesday, thursday, saturday, sunday kl. 11.00 – 17.00

16. august / september / oktober
thuesday, wednesday, thursday, saturday, sunday kl. 12.00 – 16.00

OBS
saturday 19. and sunday 20. august there will be a fly in with a lot of the airworthy veteran aircraft and warbirds from southern Norway attending.

Feel free to ask more questions. I live only 15min drive from the museum and know it quite well, even if I am not associated with it in any way other than being a member of its “friends group”.

Great!

Well edited. It’s really nice when he looks left and right, checking for other traffic before he starts doing aerobatics… 🙂

Harald,

I have found out -but do not have any proof yet – that the country of Guatemala also donated a PT-26 to the Little Norway group.

If you ever come across such information, please let me know.

Saludos,

Tulio

Two of the Cornells in “Little Norway” was called “Guatemala I” and “Guatemala II”

At least the first one was payed for by funds raised/gathered by the norwegian consul-general in Guatemala.
The tailnumber on “Guatemala I” was 221, but the number on “Guatemala II” is unknown.

Information from “Warbirds of Norway newsletter 16.1”

Here is a little video form today….
We gathered at Kjeller (Norway) today hoping to get the Broussard in the air.
As we found that the oil/engine heater had failed during the night, our hopes fell.
But we decided to try to start the old lady anyway, and guess what,..see fired!
A lot of smoke and noises,…. a true radial..!

Broussard startup in – 6 C.

… and landed in emergency with a broken push-rod (left side). 🙁

Can you be more specific? I guess there is more than one push-rod on the left side of a Mustang…

I hope everything went well.
