By annemaRie hØRSman
It can’t be done, other pilots told Simone Aaberg Kærn andMagnus Bejmar. Even with a more modern plane and moremoney, we wouldn’t make it halfway, they said.The two of them nevertheless managed to make the re-markable journey, which they have now turned into a docu-mentary.
Smiling in a War Zone – and the Art of Flying to Kabul
 is a modern fairytale about Aaberg Kærn’s stubborn struggleto build an air bridge across two continents. We follow her persistent negotiations with air trafc controllers and generalsabout airspace access, and we are with her in the cockpit whenshe nally takes off for Kabul, despite a denite no-go from theAmerican Air Force.All this to give a girl in Kabul a chance to y.
The DReam of flyinG
For Aaberg Kærn, a performance artist, the right to y is a cru-cial ideal of freedom. Her project emerged in the wake of Sep-tember 11, when access to airspace was strictly cut back.“I have dened the air as my artistic eld. The air should befree. We should be able to send our dreams up there and movearound there freely. So I was thinking about how to make aproject that would win back the air.”
