Shalom and greetings all my pals,
Presenting pre-Christmas flight from ENFB Fornebu Oslo Airport which was the primary international airport serving Oslo 1939 to 1998 locating at Fornebu 5.0 miles from the city center of Oslo to ENTC Tromsø Airport situated on the western shore of the island of Tromsøya and located at Langnes in the city of Tromsø in Tromsø Municipality, Norway
The flight was supposed to be served by 737-500 but because too many people working in Oslo are going home to their families in Tromso for Christmas forcing the airline to switch from 735 to brand new 767-200 to handle volume traffic of holiday travellers.
Gate number 38 finished disconnecting from the plane fully and heavily boarded with excited passengers enjoying the factory fresh scent of interior of the new plane with tons tons of Christmas presents in its luggage holds.
Being pushbacked by tug
Pushback tug changing the direction of push back so that the plane would face proper taxi path to runway 24
Almost finished with pushback
Time to start engines while turning on headlights on front wheels and wings!!
Taxiing to short of runway 24
Holding runway 24 awaiting for take off clearance from airport tower controllers
Take off clearance granted as the plane entered into runwy 24 for take off

Intercepting TRM signaled it was time to start descent from FL350 to FL110
Still descending
Descending through clouds
Now at FL150
Descending and flying through clouds can be dangerous in view
of high Norwegian mountains which means it is essential to
keep eye on approach charts showing heights of mountains while
telling the plane what specific and safe altitude as well as
waypoints the plane should be at
Passing through more clouds while relying on airport approach charts
At 11,000 ft with high mountains looming ahead
Close to mountains!

Shalom and greetings all my pals,
Presenting faithfully accurate historic recreation of one of very first fights flown by Finnair airline's brand new first Caravelle which was from EFHK Helsinki-Vantaa Airport located in the neighbouring city of Vantaa 10.6 miles north of center of Helsinki to ESSA Stockholm Arlanda Airport located near the town of Märsta 23 miles north of Stockholm.
Originally I thought the flight mentioned above was also first commercial flight flown by Finnair's first Caravelle which was the reason I recreated the flight and made screenshots out of it but after discussion with Finnish Aviation museum, the museum officials told me that the actual first flight flown by Finnair's first Caravelle was on 1 Apr 60 from Helsinki to Copenhagen but they assured me that the route from EFHK to ESSA was one of first routes offered by Finnair's first Caravelle.

Shalom and greetings all my pals,
Allow me to present you an interesting aviation history on how Eastern airline's plane came to rescue for the island of Jersey near England. The island was hit twice by extremely bad fog that forced the EGJJ Jersey airport to shut down twice which resulted into thousands of Heathrow bound passengers stranding in the airport or on the island and same numbers of Jersey bound passengers stranded in Heathrow.British Airways decided to come rescue to solve the massive backlog of stranded passengers by selecting two Lockheed L1011s to clear out backlog. Two out of many L1011s in the British Airways fleet got the assignments. The British Airways registration numbers are N323EA and G-BBAF meaning that if you notice the first registration number, you would realize it is Eastern Airlines plane on lease to British Airways!!!
Presenting rescue mission flight from EGLL Heathrow Airport located 14 miles west of center of London to EGJJ Jersey Airport located 4.6 miles west northwest of Saint Helier in island of Jersey which is part of Channel Islands.
100 stranded Jersey island bound passengers boarding the plane at Heathrow. British Airways was not allowed to load more than 100 passengers into their L1011 with 300 passenger capacity due to strict weight restrictions concerning landings on EGJJ Jersey airport
Jetway disconnecting from the plane
Finished with pushback
