    Huge thanks to Viktor for making this shot possible. I was supposed to photograph his arrival from Bergen (BGO), but I faced the challenge of all traffic landing on runway 19R… and getting there takes forever, so I decided to warm up in the terminal and wait for him. The weather conditions were initially unfavorable, marked by overcast skies in the morning and afternoon. However, upon Viktor’s arrival in Stockholm Arlanda (as SK898 with EI-FPI), a remarkable transformation occurred – the weather cleared up, revealing sunny skies. It was truly unbelievable! Rapidly, we hopped onto one of Swedavia’s buses from T4 to P3 Alfa, heading to retrieve his parked car. We decided to go to catch all the arrivals that were landing on 19R, but Finnair was descending rapidly and only a few thousand feet above, so we realized there was no way we could catch that. Fortunately, fate smiled upon us, and the situation turned for the better – arrivals shifted to runway 01L. Our good fortune continued as we arrived just 20 seconds before capturing this photo. Sadly, I lost one of my gloves, and in freezing weather that’s not the best thing that could happen… but I survived. And I’ll detail in a future post how that lost glove made me take some gorgeous pictures the next day.
