    What fun! I've always thought flying one of these little aircraft would be a marvelous experience. It's a hobby I can't get into any longer, but if I can fly with you here on RUclips, that will be enough.

    Awesome flight and views. The Caribbean looks like that but is a lot warmer 25 to 30 deg C instead of 16 to 19 deg C sea temp.

    Bloody hell . Good to see the islands again after nearly 37 years. I used to live in higher town St Martin's and you just went over my old cottage. I haven't been back there since 1987 . I think of the islands nearly every day and I was so happy to see it again. You don't see much when they do tourist information. Had to leave as there was no work and everything is set up now for the rich .look forward to some more videos

    Brought back great memories of day trips to the IoS from Bodmin with my father at the controls of his Piper Cherokee. I can honestly say that it does look like the Caribbean, having honeymooned in Antigua. It could, quite possibly, be nicer, especially St. Martins.

    I love your channel. Brilliant stuff. I'd love to do that. I remember the same amazement as I approached the isle's by air. It's spectacular. I'd of loved to do it by microlight. How much does it.cost in fuel and fees to conduct a trip like that. Do you travel down to the take off airfields via car and trailer or fly airfield to airfield. How long did you stay on the islands ..did you explore via boat to the smaller islands... I have so many questions for you. I'd love to attempt that ..but fear the costs and my ability would hinder me... So cool to see it through you. Do you have a parachute... I must stop asking questions ... Thanks for the chance to experience this in a way. Keep it up legend

    Great video. I personally am not a lover of the music and would like to hear the radio and flight sounds. I would love to see how you control the aircraft for example how do you steer while on the ground and what are all the controls. Also and maybe not the best but what happens in an emergency for example if the engine gave way etc.
    Stay well and happy fights
