The Royal Swedish Aeroclub also operate forest fire patrols through the local aeroclubs and it has the same “non-competition” condition. It, however, have appealed that condition to the administrative courts. The verdict is expected later this autumn.
How did this end?

My immediate reaction is that it’s not appropriate for amateurs to do such critical flights. Even when flown by professionals they have quite high fatality rates due to get-there-itis.
@dutch_flyer – have you considered Stichting Hoogvliegers

Thanks so much for this suggestion. I just signed up!
Have fun – they were the most rewarding flights I ever did – old age is the only thing that made me stop
I would think if you can still fly you could do this. What about your age makes a difference?
I simply felt that being in my late 70s represented an increased risk – not one which I should inflict on kids who already have enough to deal with.
