I've done it too 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@anonymous77173 what, liked your own post👍😂
Great to see Dash 8s still in service. My father was the Lead Avionic Specialist who developed this aircraft at De Havilland! Great video!
It's a very good aircraft for small routes and short airfields. Still in use in Australia.
Dash 8 is a very good and robust aircraft, which actually holds Norway together! It is used by the airline Widerøe, who operates a fleet of 40 units. 😊
We still have tonnes of them in New Zealand, very cool plane.
This aircraft was one of the most solid structure platforms ever developed.So we even know that it can do a barrel roll not that you should...
Rest in peace Sky King
Regularly fy on them here in Nw Zealand, great aircraft
There are some very isolated places in Australia where tourists love to visit but numbers are limited by the availability of accommodation. The same would apply in Greenland if it opened up more to tourists. I do think tourism could be a less destructive source of income than the major alternative, mining.
120%, tourism, especially if its organized & regulated like some of the smaller islands in SE Asia are, is gonna be less destructive than mining. Hopefully its something that can be changed in the future, as a lot of these remote places have airports/airstrips due to the remoteness, so all they'll need is Terminals & Tourist Amenities.
@@JustSomeAussieGamer All towns in Greenland are accessed only by air or by sea because the geography makes roads joining them impossible. They generally have airstrips or helipads. As you say, access for tourists just requires some organisation and some local accommodation.
In Italy they are implementing the same thing for Venice
@@francescoboselli6033 I've heard that Venice needs to get rid of the cruise ships that cause too much wash in the lagoon.
@@rais1953 they already get rid off those
Omgosh the views from the flight deck during takeoff and over Greenland …just stunning! Lovely and thank you!
Sooo cool.... not only the scenery, but being able to sit up front with the pilots !!!
Where i am from in the Caribbean the Dash 8-200/300 has served us well for many years my friend....for some islands that was the only way of transport, now ATR's run this town lol awesome video and greetings from St. Kitts and Nevis in the Caribbean :) !!
Greenland, full of ice. Iceland, full of green
I have spent 3 hrs 5 mins on an ATR 72 from ISB to KHI once.
Trust me, long flights are not a comfortable experience on a turboprop.
Honestly between the last 2 videos it makes me wanna fly GL… whole staff looks pretty kind and generous ! Thanks for this amazing video josh
I would like to move to this place. Looks so chill
Incredible adventure and experience, great livery of Air Greenland
One of my all-time favorite aircraft! I used to fly on these between Calgary and Edmonton in Alberta, Canada. Nice to see one again. Thanks for the memory!
Same! My most common experience is the YEG-YYC connector that every Edmontonian must take to get anywhere beyond Canada or select southern Sun destinations...
Thank you for sharing.. This looks really nice...
On the bucket list now. Brilliant content
Stunning scenery on departure from Nuuk 👍👍👍
Beautiful video Josh
Everything looks so nice and clean ☺️
Wow thanks for sharing. this was a really good video
LOVE LOVE!! So cool being up front. What an amazing experience!
Josh this has to be your best vid ever. Thanks!
Great set of adventures! Loved watching every episode of it. Keep up the good work.
Loved the video!
What astonishing views, beautiful
Awesome, Loved it.
Absolutely gorgeous views!
Great video!
Awww you give that little grin when you mention Katiya 😄
Stunning views of the cute airport from up the cliff 😍
That’s fantastic access to the flight deck from Air Greenland. What a view. Thanks for another great video 👍
Wow, great views from the pilots views. Awesome video.
Stunning footage!!
Interesting 757 parked up there Josh. Nice spotting!
Wow! This looks like one of the most amazing flights you ever had!
Amazing Josh! What a great experience for you! Love your channel! You have helped me incredibly, to take my fear our of flying!
Splendid video! Love the cockpit view on this unique flight. Excellent commentary too. Keep on going strong. 👍✈️
Great video as always Josh I also enjoyed the use of music at landing. Qantas has a few Dash 8 200s in its fleet.
What an amazing experience Josh! - that was so kind of them to allow you in to the cockpit - glad all went well on the trip for you and you got to meet Katia - Gary 😀
Awesome vlog Josh 👍😎
Good Video Josh.
That was an amazing flight
Liked 👍👍
Excellent!
Good job,ive never been to greenland
Thnx for the good work❤️💥💥💥
Lovely video. Great views. Happy to see they let you sit in flightdeck. Well deserved.
What amazing views, from the flight deck. Greenland what a beautiful place to visit
Not so often we can see you on flight deck whole the journey. Thanks for nice video
Thanks for another spectacular review, Dash 8 400 and 200 here at the Azores our carrier that link´s all 9 islands, I love them.👍
Getting to ride up front... That is so cool...
Best one yet ....STUNNING
Amazing. What a beautiful part of the world. The isolation is the attraction I think. There has to be some sort of limitation on tourists. I would hate to think in a few years you would be rubbing shoulders with many others on the hill behind the airport to take in the view. Tourism brings prosperity true, but it has a lot of down sides. Really enjoyed the video Josh. Take care. Mick🇬🇧
As long as they limit the numbers tourism could be a good source of income for Greenland. The country can never be a cheap destination like Bali or the Caribbean but well organised and catered tours for tourists prepared to pay the price could be a major industry for this small population without much strain on the environment.
@@rais1953 Exactly. One of the few completely natural places left that’s visitable
I agree
Well it’ll end up being just like its neighbour Iceland, practically ruined by tourism in some places around Reykjavik.
Hi I follow your weekly videos and enjoy them. The best one I liked was the Greenland trip and the flight to keflavik. Keep up the good work and keep them rolling.
Wow, that was a beautiful flight!!😍
Hi from one wilderness to other wilderness wt a journey.good on you mate.
What a unique flight experience of a unique airline.
It was a great video to watch.
Keep it up.
Thanks for posting this video it was awesome, definitely going to do this flight in my sim but in the other direction and with a Dash 7.
The elevator in Greenland is Kone. Happy flying, Josh!
As a Canuck, I can't tell you how many Dash 8 flights I've taken especially living out west where this is basically half of all aircraft with 737's being the rest. NWT uses plenty of Dash's and ATR's to access all those tiny Northern gravel runways that would destroy most jet engines without that modify kit...
I've flown on all the variants of the Dash-8 aircraft and the -400 is my favourite. I think it's amazing that Air Greenland is flying the -200 on such a long stage. Very cool! Also, Hockey Night in Canada t-shirt at 7:37 - cool! Nice 😁😉
This a dream come true. Enjoy the amazing Greenland. I’m enjoy the time coming back from Reykjavik to NewYork. But this one your trip is unique. Lucky 🍀 you my friend. And never stops
The landscape is everything😍😍😍😍
wow such a unique experince and a rare airline. I realy miss to their Dash-7, he was so iconic. Tnx Josh! 🤩🤩
Fantastic ! 👍
Love your vids!!
wow what a very nice trip i've never been to green land
Hola Josh, buen viaje a Islandia y en un avión pequeño dash-8, una experiencia inolvidable. Saludos desde Lima, Perú.
Nice video.....thanks
Very cool video
absolutely beautiful . . . nature's best . . .
I like the video so much Josh it's so good
Wunderbar Josh ..
Yaay...another Josh Cahill goldmine
I enjoy your trips..... Josh.....
Excellent video. Thank you deeply for highlighting the potential issues with the runway expansion and further opening up of Greenland, as I believe it to be one of the biggest mistakes ever made in Greenland. I’ve taken this flight (albeit to RKV on Air Iceland) and its usually an hour longer going westbound rather than what you did, going eastbound!
Brilliant, the BBC would have 50 people involved with such a production. Never seen Greenland close up, 50,000 people sounds and looks my type of place for a short while, (can't stand the cold) !
The longest flight are from Nuuk to copenhagen with dash 200☺️
Watching from The Bahamas🇧🇸
I highly reccommend the domestic flight from Reykjavík to Ísafjörður next time you are here. Amazing approach and plenty of videos of it.
WOW> the landing was amazing, what a privilege to sit in the cockpit.
I’ve never flown in an airplane and hope to someday. Love your videos!
There is also a Dash 8-200 flight from a place called Tabubil in Papua New Guinea all the way to Cairns Australia. Its also 3 hours long😬
I guess it is true that Greenland is mostly ice and Iceland is mostly green.. weird!!
It was a marketing technique by the vikings to encourage people to settle in Greenland by misleading it with a name. That’s a true story
Interesting that my wife and I just returned from Greenland/Iceland a couple of weeks ago. I was following your channel when this video popped up.
We actually did a round-trip to/from KEF direct into NUUK on an Icelandair Dash8-200. It's a fine aircraft for short (i.e. 1 hr) trips but 3 hrs is a long time. Too much noise and vibration even though we had seats 1 C and D.
That said, I do like that Greenland is still "hard" to get to. My wife and I stayed in "old" Nuuk with the colorful houses near downtown. Views were gorgeous! Everything was surprisingly modern; not a harsh place at all, at least in the summer.
And winding through the Fjords after takeoff back to KEF was a magnificent experience!
So yes I think the extended runway and the accommodation of larger jets is regrettable even though it will be much more comfortable.
Josh i seen during 2020 at the height of pandemic.. they were running a cargo only from kangerlussqua to Copenhagen with the dash -8 ferrying danish government supplies for COVID stuff and essential government workers...each way flight was about 8 hours
Ironically your vlogs make more people want to visit.G'land Josh.
Great video Josh, I love that you travel on so many airlines around the world, I would recommend you to try the airlines of South America, from the big ones like LATAM, Avianca, Azul, and Aerolineas Argentinas, to the ones that I think their are no reviews on like Conviasa, and many others if you can, I love your RUclips channel and great videos on airlines all over the world, keep up the great work Josh.
You inspire my channel 🙏🙏🙏
In aviation we refer to rwy lengths in feet , speed -knots, altitude feet, etc
Greenland, one of the most beautiful countries in the world.
Bonjour!!!! Je suis Français et je ne comprends pas tout à tes vidéos MAIS je les trouve GÉNIALES!
You think the cockpit was upgraded to glass cockpit. I guess 24 years ago they has an older style cockpit with lots of dials and no large computer screen. Some pilots or technicians would know.
Never flown onboard a turboprop aircraft before but maybe soon. Btw, Super awesome👍video, Mr. Josh.
I think the runway needs to stay short and keep Greenland as peaceful as possible.
They are well along in the expansion, so it will happen. There is a web cam on the field so you can watch on YT what is going on at the airport at Nuuk.
I always tell my friends that, if they’re flying back from Europe to the USA, to get a seat on the right hand side of the plane as they’ll get amazing views of Greenland if it’s clear. Seeing the beauty has given me the bug to go there as see how people live as well as witness the incredible scenery. Making plans for (probably) April next year right now.
It remains to be seen whether or not thousands of people will arrive at Nuuk’s new airport once it is built. Having worked for 30 years in tourism in Nuuk, I seriously doubt it. International airlines aren’t going to arrive in droves just because we open a new airport.
Personally, I think Kangerlussuaq should have been maintained as the main airport. They won’t be able to close it down anyway as it is still used by the military and it’s an alternative landing space for planes.
Keeping costs down to an acceptable level, the runway could have been extended to 1500 meters for slightly larger planes and a new terminal building built. This could all have been done using only local companies and workforce. Such a solution would have served us well for a number of years while saving up to build a really long runway.
There was a much better location to build a large airport south of the city. The city is expanding out towards that area anyway so infrastructure would not be a problem. There would have been no limit to the length of the runway. Many planes can’t land on 2200 meters. It’s too short, but as I understand it, extending the new runway beyond 2200 meters won’t be possible. I also worry about the noise level once the big jets start flying. One or two jets a day won’t be a problem, but ten or twenty?
Instead of being frugal with our meager resources and thinking what is best for the community long-term, impatient and reckless politicians decided to go ahead and borrow money that will tie the next two to three generations to a large debt that will be like a millstone around their necks. Just because they wanted an easier flight to Copenhagen, bypassing Kangerlussuaq.
Air Greenland just bought a brand new Airbus 330-800 wide body aircraft with room for 300 plus passengers. It was on its maiden voyage to Greenland just a few days ago. I’d love to see you do a review of that plane. Norsaq has been a trusty old workhorse. I’ve always felt safe onboard her. The interior may be a bit shabby nowadays, but she’s alright in all the important areas. Fortunately, Air Greenland doesn’t cut corners. Their safety record is pretty outstanding.
You are super josh
WoW Absolutely beautiful Josh. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this 2 part video capturing a dream with bonuses. Now I'm really looking forward to September and seeing you on Air Greenland's delivery flight of their brand new Airbus A330 NEO 800 !! I hope there is an opportunity for you to capture 2 giant red birds at the airport together at the same time. Congratulations to you on finally reaching Greenland and making new friends. What an adventure, thank you sooo sooo much for sharing👍👍🤟😘😁
We need more videos josh
Uh, this one is on my bucket list since quite some time now😳! Or one of the similar Icelandair Dash-8 flights to Ilulissat. But honestly, the best times have been gone there too, since they retired the Dash-7. Had this pleasure back in 2007, about my best flights ever😎
I think Air Tindi in Canada are still operating two ex Air Greenland Dash7s, they were when I was there in 2013.
@@Ryanhothersall Nice, do they operate them on a regular and bookable schedule or just charter? Would be a reason for a trip to Canada😎
Greenland's on my travel list O:)
Visited Island and it's beautiful place..mystical island
