He combines his passion for flying into not just a job, but a higher calling.&nbsp; Guy Leitch and Odd Arild Nessa report.</p> </div> <p>“Africa is in my blood. My grandparents were some of the first Norwegian missionaries in Ethiopia. My father was a doctor, and my mother a nurse,” Lindtjørn said.</p> <p>After eight years in Ethiopia, he returned to Norway as a 16-year-old. Adjusting from Africa to cold Norway was difficult – and he wanted to fly.</p> <p>He worked odd jobs to learn to fly. With a fresh private pilot’s licence, he contacted the Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF) and asked what he needed to become a MAF pilot. He was told to become an aircraft mechanic, a commercial pilot with at least 500 hours – and attend bible school! </p> <p>Lindtjørn was undaunted. By 2006, he was 28 years old and had met all the requirements, as well as seven years´ experience as an aircraft mechanic with SAS. He packed up all he owned and travelled to Tanzania to start the job he had been working towards for 12 years.</p> <p>“I was finally a mission pilot. I had some wonderful years out in the bush! MAF based me in Kigoma in Tanzania where I flew a Cessna 206 carrying the sick, health workers and missionaries. I was living out my calling – and my dream,” he said.</p> <p>In Tanzania he met Nadia who worked as a volunteer for a children’s home. They married in 2010 and then, when they had children, moved to be near her parents in the USA. Then, about a year ago, Lindtjørn received an enquiry from MAF who needed an experienced pilot in Tanzania.</p> <figure role="group"><img alt="Picture: Svein-Robert Solberg" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="f193929f-091e-4023-8006-35a52e32e311" src="/sites/aerospace/times/files/inline-images/2%20%20%20The%20arrival%20of%20an%20aircraft%20is%20always%20a%20day%20for%20great%20excitement%20-%20especially%20for%20local%20children.%20copy.jpg" width="1080" height="720" loading="lazy" /><figcaption>Welcome party: The arrival of an aircraft is always a day for great excitement - especially for local children. Picture: Svein-Robert Solberg</figcaption></figure><p>“I answered that email within 30 seconds. There´s no other place in the world where I feel so at home as I do in Tanzania. I look forward to every day and every flight,” said Lindtjørn. You can almost see the African sky in his eyes!</p> <p>Its not uncommon for him to be in the field for six weeks, so his time at home is valuable. While his family always comes first, they respect his work. “Having children at home, I experience a different sort of love for those that I serve out in the field. I see my own children in those who are suffering, and that gives my service even more meaning.”</p> <p>“Once, a nurse came running up to my plane with a little girl. Her mother couldn’t feed the child, which was emaciated. A 10-minute flight saved that tiny, sick child. That is what my job is about. There are countless such stories, and it´s a privilege to serve in this way,” said Lindtjørn.</p> <p>“We don´t just meet one need, but the whole person, and the plane makes that possible. If MAF didn´t fly in Tanzania, measles would have recurred, and women would have died in childbirth. We fulfil MAF’s and my own mission statement,” he said with conviction.</p> </div> <div class="tags"> <span>Article Also Filed in: </span> <ul class="l-rs tags__list"> <li class="tag" > <a href="/africa" hreflang="en">Africa</a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="subscribe-block bg-grey-light flow" > <h2>Stay up to date</h2> <p>Subscribe to the free Times Aerospace newsletter and receive the latest content every week.

Flexjet operates a fleet of 11 helicopters in the UK and its group of companies is one of Eve’s Urban ATM Fleet Operator customers.</span></span></span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif"><span style="color:black">Leading UK helicopter operator Flexjet provided its helicopter fleet to perform flights, collaborating closely with Eve’s Urban ATM team. NATS, the UK’s leading provider of air traffic control services, and London Heliport supported the initiative by providing additional feedback to help ensure Eve’s solution will provide the greatest value to all UAM ecosystem participants.</span></span></span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif"><span style="color:black">“This collaboration with Flexjet represents a significant step forward in our efforts to advance urban air mobility," said Johann Bordais, CEO of Eve. "We are committed to exploring innovative solutions that will enhance current operations and contribute to the future of urban flights.”</span></span></span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif"><span style="color:black">Eli Flint, Flexjet President of Global Helicopter Operations, added: “We were delighted to provide Flexjet’s UK helicopter expertise and to play a key role in forging the UAM ecosystem of tomorrow, helping to inform the movements of the next generation of vertical aircraft. Flexjet is dedicated to advancing the aviation solutions that will meet our customers’ needs over the coming years, and we are excited by the potential of eVTOLs for seamless and sustainable electric short-range flights.”</span></span></span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif"><span style="color:black">The initiative encompassed various aspects of operations, including regular business operations, atypical scenarios and flights tailored to an electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft’s specific needs, enabling the demonstration of product behavior in various real-world scenarios. The integration of vertiports to efficiently manage resources was the primary focus of the test, in addition to verifying and validating a subset of the Urban ATM product capabilities, with a specific emphasis on the UAM fleet operator support tool.</span></span></span></span><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">&nbsp;</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif"><span style="color:black">Eve’s objective with this collaboration was to provide insights into the services required to support future eVTOL operations safely and efficiently. Another aim was to investigate whether these new services may have immediate value for existing helicopter operations. Following the simulation, Eve and Flexjet will review the findings and discuss recommendations for improvements, changes, and potential integration requirements. The companies will also continue to explore opportunities for further integration of existing software tools, enhancing the potential of the Urban ATM solution.</span></span></span></span><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif"><span style="color:black">Electric UAM has the capability to improve the affordability of urban flights for communities, compared to current helicopter operations, and features a streamlined and efficient design, which contributes to reduced operational and maintenance costs.
