Russia jammed our GPS! (Arctic Norway Flying Adventure)
Рет қаралды 57,015
Ай бұрынJoin us for day 2 of our majestic Widerøe Dash 8 flying adventure in some of the most remote parts of Norway, all in the jumpseat. Today we've got four segments traveling Kirkenes-Vadsø-Tromsø-Andenes-Evenes all on the Dash 8-100. Things get interesting when we see the effects of Russia's GPS jamming efforts in the area firsthand, and the pilots talk us through what that means exactly (and how they stay on course regardless). Then stick around for some of the most beautiful Arctic mountain island views, all covered in snow with a blue-green sea surrounding. Just some of the most stunning vistas we've ever come across. Thanks to Widerøe for the help putting together this series. Don't miss the other two videos we shot with them below:

You introduced me to Greenland, now northern Norway. The scenery is breathtaking. Great shots with just a single camera, it's like being there in the cockpit with those great pilots. Just stunning!

This brings back memories,have not flown one of these that far north since I was in the army. Its a whole different country up there in the arctic. (Northern part of Norway).,Its some of the most unforgiving terrains on the planet. Im willing to bet a lot of their current pilots are ex military.

I think back in the day they used to call it "puddle Jumping." It was a neat series. We tend to get jaded with the long flights, but many people depend on these short flights. Keeping the Dash's flying is a lifeline for the people living in these areas. Great Job Gaberial!

Your flight on LN-WIF was 29. February. At the same time a NATO exercise on land, in air and at sea was going on. Special regulations with regards to photography from aircraft was introduced a number of places during the time if the exercise. News agencies in Norway have for years had stories of these Russian interruptions on civilian aircraft and passenger carriers in northern Norway, and it is part of the diplomacy the Russian frequency of interruptions goes high the more NATO closes into the Russian border. (Not to make a lame point, but there are very good reasons to keep NATO at distance from Russia.) Wideroe and its machines are among my favorites! In these small aircrafts one really are able to feel some power and connection to being in the air. (Bumpy rides in snowy winter-storms is perhaps not wanted.) You had just calm beautiful flights though, with spectacular sceneries. Lucky you! Great video!

Thanks for nice view of Arctic ...Regarding jamming.. Few years ago i traveled from South Europe to Nordcap via Russia...Going from Murmansk to Kirkenes i was surprised by russian road signs that foreign license plate cars are not allowed to turn from main road and think that it's 'communistic past' :) Until entered Norway - Norway meet us with road signs 'Next 10 km no any photos, no stopping, no camping' and so on :) So - it's the similar from both sides of the border ... :)
@arcticblue248 Ай бұрын
Well we do not jam russian signals ... or GPS, thats the difference, the reason for no photo is because of 2 things ... military area most likely and there are 5km zone around airports where you are not allowed to fly drones, also to fly drones you are required to have a special licence to fly it, and you have to tell the airport services that you fly or where you fly so they can either call you if a plane gets close or warn planes that there are drones in the area.
@slowtraveler Ай бұрын

They could be so much more with their skills and earn lots in the West and improve the lives of many.
