Social distancing from 1500 feet

I think logic and wisdom lies somewhere in-between the measures other countries are taking, and the non-existent measures Sweden is taking. But let’s not have this conversation here. I’m not a big fan of typing long paragraphs on online forums.

For moving here, of course you should move to the countryside somewhere in Skåne! Plenty of airfields (ESMS, ESME, ESMI, ESML, ESTT, ESMJ, ESMH), very much active GA-scene, most field are free to land at. AVGAS is available almost everywhere and every field has their own club.

I would not recommend living in Malmö unless you are a city-person (not me).

Now of course let’s hear the Stockholm-region recommendations from @Airborne_Again

ESME, ESMS

I, in my ignorance, humbly wonder what exactly it is about exponential growth the Swedes don’t understand …

Well, I don’t quite agree with that….

I’m really not a Stockholm fan, also there is only one airfield in Stockholm with any light GA activity (Skå-Edeby ESSE) and of course their capacity is limited. If you look around Stockholm the closest ones are Norrtälje (ESSN), Gnesta (ESSZ) and Trosa, all about 50-60 km away as the bird flies. Then we have Sundbro (ESKC) and Eskilstuna (ESSU) 60-70 km away, then Västerås/Hässlö (ESOW), Västerås/Johannisberg (ESSX) and Nyköping (ESKN) about 90 km away. All have AVGAS and clubs. All except ESSE and Trosa have runway lighting (pretty important in these parts). ESSU, ESOW and ESKN are IFR airports. ESSE, ESSZ, Trosa and ESKC are grass fields. There are also some ultralight sites.

The place with the most GA activity right now is Västerås/Hässlö, but the city recently said they wanted to close the airport so its future is uncertain.

I’ve heard nothing but good things about these airfields, but of course I would recommend my own place, Sundbro (ESKC), 11 km outside Uppsala which is a very nice place. It’s a university town and the fourth largest city in Sweden, but has the feel of a much smaller town.
