Thames Estuary
Impressive views of the River Thames widening into the sea, featuring busy shipping lanes.
Offshore Wind Farms
Massive arrays of white wind turbines standing in the North Sea, appearing like geometric patterns.
Oslofjord Islands
A stunning view of the islands like Tjøme and Nøtterøy, known for their summer houses and rocky shores.
Sandefjord Harbor
The historic whaling town of Sandefjord and its busy harbor are clearly visible during the southern approach.
Vestfold Scenery
Beautiful views of the rolling hills and traditional red wooden houses scattered throughout the countryside.
The right side is highly recommended for the descent into TRF. Look for 'Verdens Ende' (World's End) on the tip of Tjøme island. In winter, the contrast between the dark sea and snowy islands is breathtaking during morning flights.
