Comment by an Anonymous Flier on Sjöbo/Sövde Airport, Sweden:

I had no trouble landing and departing Sovde. The grass strip was in good condition and plenty of room for my Cessna 310. Man named Jan came to see what was my trouble, and he was very nice. We enjoyed the 45 minutes we spent talking to him. I will visit there again on my next vacation to Europe.

Comment by @GBL on Viared Airport, Sweden:

Viared is open all year, but for a few days, mostly holidays. Check out local info on this site: http://www.borasflygplats.se/

After take-off RWY 22, and when you are stabilized in climb, make a slight left turn to a southerly heading to avoid complaints from nearby neighbors.

Thanks. I've marked it as closed, and linked to an historical military field site as the home page.

[ESSA] "Phones" by david

Comment by @david on Stockholm-Arlanda Airport, Sweden:

I connected here on my way from Heathrow (LHR) to Vaasa, Finland (VAA) in the mid-to-late 1990s. My strongest memory from the time is that the phones were unbelievably expensive and difficult to use (I couldn't get to the toll-free Canada Direct number). Finland was a huge contrast at the time, since they'd already deregulated, and phone calls were even cheaper and easier than in Canada.
