The noth eastern apron at Fornebu, this was the oldest part of the airport where we usually after 1964 saw either old aircraft, or many General Aviation aircraft. This changed dramatically from May 2 1989 until September 114th 1989 due to the closure of the Charter flights to Gardermoen (ENGM / GEN) due to the need of new surface on the single runway at Gardermoen.
