Shalom and greetings all my pals,

As awesome Chanukah gift for all of you, allow me to present a nice Chanukah flight full of sky beauty from EFRO Rovaniemi Airport located about 6 miles north of city centre of Rovaniemi to ENTC Tromsø Airport located on the western shore of the island of Tromsøya at Langnes in Tromsø, Norway.

What if we're not Jewish Aharon?

 

I'm not but Happy Chanukah!

 

I always thought Chanukah was spelled with an H, like Hanukkah.

I always thought Chanukah was spelled with an H, like Hanukkah.

 

Either is correct: they are alternate spellings, with one a transliteration of the original Hebrew ("chanukah") and the other a reflection of approximate pronunciation in English ("hanukkah"). See here for an explanation.

It is spelled either Chanukah or Hanukkah :)

 

Thanks for kind words.
