I used to use loganair for the Highlands and isands routes out of Wick back in the eighties - I clocked up 200 flights in G-BJOP and her sisters.... fantstic aircraft, airline and Staff.
TheRenaissanceman65 just by listening to the engines, you can hear they are piston. Turboprops are a completely different type of engine, they also sound much different. If you look on G-INFO and search for the reg you can see that it’s a BN2B-26 Islander with 2x Lycoming O-540 piston engines.
Thank you for the (non-existing) music!

great video, love these little islanders, a hearty little turbo prop! nice scenery also rob
Not a turboprop, these have piston engines...
That aircraft is not a turboprop. It has piston engine. It doesnt have a gas turbine.
@@AbsolutelyEverybody1 thank you for letting me know, i thought they were turbo props
there is a BN-2T which is a Turboprop, it’s not as common as the piston though
where did you see a turboprop?
Haha how cute is that plane! Talk about intimate lol
Excellent video!
Pretty tight quarters, that!
What, no in flight meal? :-)
Thank you for this, how long was the flight, about 10 minutes?
Hi there, just checked: 17 mins and 45km.
@@LogMyWorld Thanks so much for that, great help! X
@Horsehead Pete Yes, that's a flight that would suit me!
@Horsehead Pete Not so much a nervous flyer, love flying, it's the containment in a small space and not enough wine beforehand lol ;)
@@nixmoretta13 Here is the link to the shortest flight: th-cam.com/video/qBph7Ztn4h8/w-d-xo.html It was 65 seconds airtime
Only 24 nm, as the crow flies.

hello loran
Sounds a bit to much like my law mower
The airplane
looks like a jet
It’s not an Airplane! It’s a jet
TheRenaissanceman65 I think the commenter needs eye surgery
@TheRenaissanceman65 The Islander actually uses two piston engines, not turboprop.
@TheRenaissanceman65 you're right, there are a few turboprop variants, however the majority (including this one) use piston engines.

That is too small
