Operation Broken Chain Tour Leg 7

Leg 7 — ENHF → ENAT Hammerfest → Alta

Airport Description: Alta lies deep within northern Norway’s fjord country and has long served as a strategic Arctic logistics center. The area is known for extreme winter flying conditions.

At last, signs of recovery begin to appear.

Aircraft movements increase. Radio towers return online. Convoys cautiously restart along partially cleared roads.

But the most dangerous phase still lies ahead.

The frontline depots east of the Arctic interior remain critically low on fuel and medical supplies. One final sustained push is needed before the storms close the skies completely.

Ground crews in Alta work through the night loading your aircraft for the final series of flights.

Nobody speaks much anymore. Fatigue has replaced fear.

Every pilot understands the stakes.
