Greenland!
Wow that's cool Look at that view in front of us oh check this out check out this video
do you ever get stuck on the roads with the snow remember when I said I wanted to see
a polar bear yeah we're still at zero
I've always wanted to see the ice cap over Greenland.
Kulusuk, that's the airport we're going to Kulusuk is one of the airports that a lot
of the round the world pilots land into so I've never had the opportunity until now we
have the same problem yesterday on the same frequency
today it's a kind of mixed bag for me there's a little bit of nerves I'll be honest because
if the grandiose nature of the flight but there's also a big deal of excitement because
of what we're about to do
the polar bear count currently standing at zero I want to change that by the end of the
flight I can't wait it's gonna be a good day
it's probably a good idea they're starting up because we've got around two two and a
bit hours of flying over water today we obviously need to put on our survival suits as well
because we are going to be flying across the North Atlantic and uh if we did have to ditch
obviously you want as much protection as you can get
It actually
looks really clear up ahead I mean there's no Cloud but if IMC and then a really smooth
fun flight I don't know how you do it it's either a good luck job
This guy's quite hard to understand again yeah we had the same problem yesterday on
the same frequency remember Ricky bit control November one two three Victor Papa remaining
flight uh maintaining flight level one two zero foreign
[Applause]
Give us some stats Philippe.
We have 343 to go and we're not bored yet so that's the success I like the way you say
yeah because obviously at some point we will be it's like the triple each other that's
the question oh the trip for sure absolutely I agree
the risks have changed a lot I think in the North Atlantic flying probably over the last
60 years yeah you know where you hear these phenomenal stories of Pilots doing all kinds
of crazy things you know in this Northern route and you know the World War II stories
on how they navigated those are incredible Feats of Aviation you know okay we have a
lot of Technology here but we don't have any onboard weather I think it'd be hard to do
this if you just had a PPL you know having the instrument ratings quite nice what if
you had a PP I'll do it with someone maybe yeah if you've been doing this what a great
introduction to what IFR can give you as well yeah yeah we're gonna have lunch in Greenland
I think Greenland Iceland radar November one two three Victor Papa trying you on one two
seven decimal eight five we were passed over to open time one one zero three and after
that vaccine one two one Niner destination and we'll be passing user zero zero eight
sets
traffic oh no traffic ahead range is uh 142 miles in that direction should we take uh
yeah evasive activities of action
with that land oh what's that thing Iceberg no it's cloud is that just low cloud or is
that is that the c-shelf no it's glow Cloud man uh yeah we have a 360 for Edmonton there
135 that could be the CIBC ice yep in which case actually that makes sense yeah let's
see that could be sea ice yeah in fact it's breaking off there so we might see some polar
bears
remember one two three victim Victor Papa we are we are 25 degrees north 30 degrees
west uh after vaccine estimate one two three seven release just pointed something pretty
awesome out you spotted that before me it's Greenland that's Greenland look information
good morning I know that pilot
[Applause]
yeah good mate I just want to say my name's Steph um I watched some of the videos that
you and Mika produce about the diamond aircraft how are you doing yeah very good I was watching
some of this stuff uh with you guys sparing the diamonds across just wanted to say hello
and um have a good flight yeah great thank you for watching that stuff uh that's good
for you where are you where are you heading to just come out of Reykjavik and we're doing
a bit of a seating over Greenland and then we're going into kulasuke and then back home
to Reykjavik tonight just uh it's a private line oh very good very good
yeah I couldn't cook this beautiful today clear and very nice so you will have a great
Scenic Place awesome thanks very much yeah keep making the videos I enjoy watching them
and uh
[Applause]
[Music] foreign
[Music]
oh look at these pigs look at these pigs [Music] no wonder people heavy ski out here [Music]
yeah so left base for one one yeah I also did I have a real mental issue trying to work
that out
is your struck ah by the Majesty of Greenland seriously I am [Music]
nice
thank you very much nice to be here November one two three big Tipper path back tracking
on the runway
I can't stop smiling I just cannot physically stop smiling I've seen this place in other
people's YouTube videos I've watched people flying in here so enviously in the past and
now today finally I'm actually here it's surreal in a way but it's also it's incredibly emotional
I'll be honest with you to actually be here now finally myself just trying to take it
all in do you ever get stuck on the roads with the snow does anybody get too heavy uh
on Sunday oh yeah oh no yeah thank you so the guys from the hotel the local hotel here
in kulasuke have got a mode of transport to take the heli skiers to and from the airport
and they very kindly offered to give us a lift into the local town so this is the local
town in Greenland this is the town of kulasuk
we tried the Drone but it didn't work because there's we're too far north for satellites
it's nice so we're too close to the airport it's because we're too close to the airport
turns out that it's frowned upon flying a drone towards the airport remember when I
said I wanted to see a polar bear yeah we're still at zero we're still at zero but um look
in all seriousness now if you are a little bit squeamish or if you don't want to see
dead animals maybe look away for the next 10 seconds otherwise it's kind of an important
part of life down here in Greenland definitely but if you want to see a polar bear apparently
this is one that entered the village just two days ago and they have a quota so they
have six they're allowed to hunt and then if there's any more that come into the village
after that they can't shoot them holidays one one polar bear does that count it absolutely
counts
[Music]
foreign
good shopping hopefully we found something that we think is suitably local it looks Danish
looks Danish [Music]
all right [Music] at 70 knots
away
Iceberg iceberg that ahead
oh still stop our climbing let's get close to the Icebreaker Terrain
there it is
and they were departures but this is crazy
don't sink
how is this even possible I don't know whole world is so amazing yeah well said [Music]
one last shot of the icebergs oh don't make it the last one [Music]
Captain wow look at that delicious Bagel November one two three Victor Papa passing seven thousand
November I'll write your next call to Nuke information one two seal on this monthly so
long have a nice flight home one two zero decimal three we'll go up to Nuke and thanks
very much again for your help have a great afternoon remember one two three bye-bye see
that could be a really nice end to the video but now when I look back at the footage let
me see what you're doing in the background this is where maybe I overlay a map on top
of you we've actually decided to file for a higher altitude which means we'll be on
oxygen for a large part of the flight [Music] awesome fun
