A new addition to the competition scene is the Norwegian Team, managed by our old friend Tormod Veiby. This team is small with just one dual flexwing, but doing a great job. The pilot, rightly described by some as a cazy dude, is Per Hoeyland, a Norwegian Hells Angel (seriously) heavily tatooed with gold teeth that glint in the sun. He looks scary in the dim light of the bar but is a very friendly chap and certainly knows how to spot land his Apollo trike.
His navigator, Hakon Fosso, is an experienced aviator in his own right, with many years of precision and aerobatic flying behind him. He's taken to microlight competitions like a duck to water and loosened up nicely after sampling the Polish firewater on Wednesday night. They have brought a second trike, a 914 powered beast they plan to use in the World Air Games trail we hope to run on Saturday. One thing the Norwegian do have is some solid sponsorship, from Lunde who provided a big liveried truck to bring them to Leszno. Let's hope they stay on the scene.
