    Its what you want, flying in that environment. Amazing views of those calved bergs.

    Omg I loved that! My father flew Halifaxes during WWII. He subsequently flew flying boats from Rose Bay in Sydney to Lord Howe Island & sometimes to the Pacific Islands. He then moved to the Fokker 27 & 28. I spent some time on the flight deck as a child .. I’ve been in the Dash 8 a few times & my daughter’s flights to & from boarding school were in the Dash 8. So inspiring to see this so many years later.

    Loving these cockpit videos recently team i dont know why but just find watching these flying videos so therapeutic and relaxing and like the access you get in these planes something us the public dont normally see just find it fascinating flying id love to do it as a job if it wasnt so expensive to do just like the pre flight check lists you have to do and find talking to radio control fascinating to the chatter you do to them must be damn good pay these days to become a pilot but man that view of the icebergs was incredible just shows what our great earth has to offer you have to go out there and find it amazing stuff

    The Captain´s comments about approaching Greenland beginning @ 15:48 reminded me of a passage from Ernest K Gann´s memoir *Fate Is The Hunter*: ¨There, then, was the enormous mass of Greenland, and I could not look away from it...I had never in all my flying seen anything to compare w/ this fantastic exhibition...In all of the times I later came upon the continent of Greenland, the crew members invariably expressed the same wondrous exhilaration.¨

    That was so cool. The closest I ever came to a gigantic iceberg in real life, was Easter 7 years ago, I was in New Foundland and a gigantic iceberg grounded in a bay close to home. Everybody from all over drove in to see it. The flight approach into St. John's is over the East Coast and there were tons of icebergs in the adjacent waters on the flight path. Can't wait to see your next installment !!

    I did two 2 week of flying for Air Greenland with a backup plane and it’s a cool company to fly for. Flying up there is a absolutely eye catching experience. It was there in the summer, weather pleasant and we only did the longer runway operations. Flying into a 700 meter runway in marginal weather is a bit of a challenge. Yeah they know their stuff.
