  • May 2013 takeoff and departure of a brand new Diamond DA42-VI twin diesel propeller aircraft from Narsarsuaq, Greenland -- at the start of what became a 5.5 hour flight southwest to a landing in Goose Bay, Labrador, Canada due to 50 knot headwinds.
    Communications between the aircraft (temporarily operating under Austrian registry OE-UDK during the ferry flight) and Narsarsuaq tower can be heard.
    Embarrassing note: Both pilots were so distracted by the scenery with their heads outside the cockpit that they forgot to raise the landing gear until immediately after this video recording terminated. Despite operating near max gross weight, the new aircraft was climbing so well that neither pilot noticed until aircraft had climbed to 8000 feet. (Obviously making sure the gear is down for landing is a bit more critical...)

    I remember taking off from this airport in my Flight Simulator 2004 game several years ago.
    It's cool to see how Narsarsuaq Airport looks like in real life.
