S!

The museum is within 2km from the Helsinki airport. It has less planes than the museum with this Bf109G-6 situated in Jyväskylä. I've been sitting in the Bf109G-6..oh boy took days for the grin to wear off!!

Mmhh...might both be worth a visit then, especially if they'd let me sit in the G6 as well...was allowed to sit in the Spitfire MkV they have in Malta so I know how you must have felt.

the museum I was referring is "Keski-Suomen Ilmailumuseo" in Tikkakoski, Jyväskylä in central Finland.

My home town and my home airfield for local flight club for flying four seater airplanes

I flew into your home airfield a few months ago.....assuming you mean the airport or do you have a smaller airstrip nearby?

Excellent! I may have to extend my stay in Finland then to go up there. I also have a friend in Sodankyla, but that's even a bit further up...how's the road network in Finland at this time of year? Advisable to go by car from Helsinki?

What plane do you fly privately? I fly a YAK 18T.

S!

Roads are in good condition at most parts of Finland, especially the main routes. I would still consider train or plane for traveling..driving at winter speeds limited to 80km/h at most parts makes it VERY slow.

Sodankylä is not that far from where I live, Rovaniemi Been there at the film festivals during summer, quite a lot of people there I hope you enjoy your stay in Finland and get to the museums

Awesome KeroseneA1!

Wow, Yak18T an acrobatics capable plane. I wish sometimes in the future to get my greedy little hands on some acrobatics plane and fly some acrobatics.

I do fly mostly Piper Cherokee/Warrior & Cessna 172 kind of stuff.

By the way today we had here sunny but cripsy -20 celsius degrees weather here and I had an opportunity to co-pilot with an experimetal skiplane, Kitfox. That was awesomely different and challenging compared to hard surface operated nose wheeled and more heavier/stable planes.
