Oslo-Gardermoen as the hub, plus a dense network of small airfields on fjords and the coast served by turboprops.
2 spots listed
Because of its topography, Norway relies heavily on air travel. Besides Oslo-Gardermoen, there are numerous small airfields along the coast and the fjords served by turboprop aircraft – often with short runways and striking scenery.
Photography from publicly accessible areas is allowed. Here, safety in the terrain often matters more than the legal situation: many viewpoints are on slopes or coastal rocks.
The weather decides the success of your trip more than almost anywhere else. Wind, precipitation and low clouds change quickly – build in buffer time and shoot when the light is there.
Museums and exhibitions with historic and retired aircraft. Weather-proof, easy to plan and a chance to see types up close that stopped flying long ago.
Forsvarets flysamling at Oslo Gardermoen Airport
Gardermoen (Ullensaker)
On the western edge of Oslo Gardermoen Airport, the Flysamlingen shows around 40 military aircraft from over a hundred years of Norwegian aviation – from the 1912 Taube monoplane “Start” and German wrecks from April 1940 to the Starfighter and F-16. Right behind the museum is an official spotter hill at runway 01L, and next door the Air Force’s Hercules squadron flies.
Norsk Luftfartsmuseum at Bodø Airport
Bodø
Norway’s national aviation museum stands in the shape of a propeller at the edge of Bodø Airport. Inside waits the U-2 that recalls Gary Powers’ 1960 destination, plus a Spitfire, Mosquito and Widerøe’s first Twin Otter – and from the museum tower you look out over Widerøe’s home airport.
The Planetrack spot map shows verified spots for each airport with directions, the best light and community ratings. Planetrack is launching soon – join the waitlist and get early access.
