I don’t know what will happen to it [the F-104] when the military is gone.
Perhaps they’ll move it to Evenes?

Lucky you!

With these remote towers one man can “control” several airports. You can get a “man in the tower” whenever you want (more or less).
Thanks for explaining, makes sense.

rather small “towers”.
Can you post a pic of what you are referring to?

fitting a lot more people into that 210
Nice way of looking at it! I wonder about the legality of the situation from the POH limitations POV…
When the ejection seat issue is sorted out, the Starfighter will fly again :) Pretty impressive work they have done to restore it into flying condition.
Next time, be sure to visit us at ENKJ (Kjeller)! We have a rather decent collection of (flyable) vintage aircraft here at Europes oldest airport still in use (since 1912). Lots of different Moths, Jungmanns, Harvard, Cornell, Chipmunk, all kinds of Piper Cubs, Interstate Cadet, SAAB Safirs and many more! Most are available for us pilots to fly ourselves for decent prices. And we have a Starfighter as well, but it’s not airworthy unfortunately.

thought that the C210 was consuming more fuel. That’s really good for the speed delivery!
Ah, the virtues of high-altitude LOP flight. The Comanche 260 should be in a similar league at FL200

Nice! I hope to have a chance next time. On this trip, however, weather was not very welcoming every time I got close to Kjeller:

Great! It is the sleekest Cold War fighter!

I have never taken a picture of a tower, but I think you have 
In the fourth picture from the bottom in your last post with pictures. There’s a small chimney like structure just to the right of the mountains (not the domed structure). They look like concrete chimneys, probably around 2 m diameter, but there are some differences. The one at Røros has larger diameter at the bottom, and is fairly high.
