Shalom and greetings all my pals,
Presenting faithfully accurate historic recreation of one of very first fights flown by Finnair airline's brand new first Caravelle which was from EFHK Helsinki-Vantaa Airport located in the neighbouring city of Vantaa 10.6 miles north of center of Helsinki to ESSA Stockholm Arlanda Airport located near the town of Märsta 23 miles north of Stockholm.
Originally I thought the flight mentioned above was also first commercial flight flown by Finnair's first Caravelle which was the reason I recreated the flight and made screenshots out of it but after discussion with Finnish Aviation museum, the museum officials told me that the actual first flight flown by Finnair's first Caravelle was on 1 Apr 60 from Helsinki to Copenhagen but they assured me that the route from EFHK to ESSA was one of first routes offered by Finnair's first Caravelle.
