The business was based entirely on flying fishing tourists by floatplane to mountain lakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After one particularly windy summer that made seaplane operations difficult, Kjell decided to obtain a helicopter pilot license. He trained with Lapplandsflyg in Ume\u00e5, and in 1977 he carried out the first helicopter flights using a rented piston-engine Bell 47 G2. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1982, Fj\u00e4llflygarna i Arjeplog AB was founded. The company operated with one helicopter and one seaplane. The helicopter model they eventually chose was the Hughes 500, a powerful and versatile helicopter well suited for the company\u2019s operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Seaplane operations ended in 1998, and a second helicopter was purchased instead. Later that autumn, an accident ended Kjell\u2019s career as a pilot. During his hospital stay, he even purchased a new helicopter from his hospital bed \u2014 something the hospital staff said they had never experienced before.\n\nKjell\u2019s son Fredrik Johansson began his aviation career as a helicopter technician, later training as a pilot and joining the company in 2000. Today, he is the Chief Pilot of Fj\u00e4llflygarna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Om oss I Adolfstr\u00f6m bel\u00e4get i Arjeplogs kommun, Lappland, driver vi f\u00f6retagen Fj\u00e4llflygarna AB och Johanssons Fj\u00e4llstugor.
