I didn’t expect to watch a British man drive a Korean car across Iceland while he listened to American country music today.
While eating a vaguely Franco-Italian style sandwich!
“Mud on the tires” and then a Ford F-150. I think you did cross into Texas for a bit 😂
Not just Texas- isn't that the best selling model of *any vehicle* in the US, period? Which is why Ford announced they aren't even gonna make cars anymore?
Jeremy Clarkson style sports mode and "SPEEEED"
David Jackson EXACTLY my thought, down to the crazy smile!!! 😂😂
Hahaha i love clarkson
Yeesssssss...
2:36 Love the inflight entertainment, A Big Tablet and A JBL GO Speaker!
Your videos are getting better and your sense of humor developing, keep it coming. Have been to Iceland, beautiful, easy going country. Enjoy. 🇮🇸
My God - how lucky you are! Iceland is at the top of my bucket list. Such an an extraordinarily beautiful country! I hope you go back there soon. Thank you for this video!
Noel has the same excitement with planes as Bald and Bankrupt has with old abandoned soviet buildings lol
And pretending to catch covid
Thanks for this video! I think you need to do a few more like this, it really adds an extra dimension to the channel. Looking forward to the next video already!
This was such a an amazing trip.. you're so fortunate to be able to do the things you do.. I'd love more of the sites you see as well as the flights 😊
Thoroughly enjoyed that little trip across iceland. These are must watch videos for me. Many thanks Noel for doing what you're doing!
Thanks Noel, great to watch Iceland go flying past your window. The scenery is majestic.
The midnight sun, amazing.
Safe travels
Clearly you are the star in the reasonably priced car.
Such beautiful scenery from the plane. I'd love to know how those ice patterns form - they're amazing.
Hey Noel, my wife and I went to Iceland in Feb 2020 just before Covid buggered everything up for everyone. It was freezing cold and very snowy, we too visited that waterfall, it was truly spectacular, and we cannot wait to be able to visit again, although we may consider a re-mortgage next time we go lol. Brilliant trip report as per, thanks and keep em coming.
What you said about travelling giving you a sense of freedom really struck a chord, especially now that we’re all literally grounded and can’t really go anywhere, no matter if it’s for leisure or work. I’ve been following this channel for quite some time now and I have to say that it always feels like you’re taking us with you, contrary to other travel vlogs. Keep it up!
Thank you so much Stelios. Really appreciate your kind comments. We will all travel again - and it won't be long. The world is still there to be explored!
That waterfall looks so beautiful 😍😍😍
Gorgeous views of the Icelandic countryside. That waterfall is beautiful. I would love to fly there one day.
This video definitely put you ahead of some of my other favourite travel vloggers today. I love your airline reviews but now with the additional content of a road trip between airports which included great dialogue, great scenery and cool background music, I can't wait to see more of this video style. Thanks!!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
So great watching this vid!! You stopped at 2 of several sites I went to in March. Seeing the country in summertime was so exciting, and makes me long to return as soon as I can. I also appreciate your commentary on how travel equates to freedom - it’s exactly how I see it and cannot wait to head somewhere new as soon as allowed. Thanks for what you do Noel. Love every single one of your (mis)adventures!!
Thanks so much Brandon! Sounds like you had an amazing trip. Iceland is simply stunning. Hope you can travel again soon!
From a cold night at a hotel in Lukla, to seeing a war plane in Iceland, to hopping onto a flight in South America, I have loved your travels. Keep going! :)
I appreciated that you drove a car and filmed the landscape, especially the waterfall. Iceland is very lovely, and now I want to visit :)
Another great video! I love it when you get all serious and then toot your horn on seeing the city. Thanks for taking us along, giving us a small break from this terrible time in earth's history.
I agree about the stunning views of Iceland, but also what a great view of the unusual engine arrangement!
Thank you for the memories Noel. I visited Iceland five years ago and found it incredibly stunning. Greetings from Long Beach, California.
by far your best video, keep this kind of content going
I might need to add Iceland to the bucket list after watching this video. It looks absolutely stunning.
You should do it
Glad to see there appears to be only one comment of the "you must stop travelling" type. Everyone else seems enthusiastic as am I- really loved that road trip.
I had my first 'carbon footprint' troll in months last week. Never thought I'd miss them! Thanks for the support!
@@noelphilips I don't know if you've ever looked at my channel, but I film the tube,, trains, buses (and even flights in the good old days!) and country walks. I was being bombarded with comments about masks, is this journey essential etc. I eventually decided to disable comments on my most recent videos. Its been sublimely peaceful since I did this, and the numbers of views haven't been affected. I was sad to see a "masks" comment on this video of yours as well as the "you shouldn't be travelling" one, but I was genuinely (and pleasantly) surprised by the support you are receiving, which is well deserved anyway.
Thank you, yes the trolls are out in force lately for sure. Fortunately I don't have to deal with them most of the time, they're pre-moderated by an admin before I get to see them. Quite funny to think of some of the trolls wasting ages writing an essay that willl never get seen by anyone as it goes straight into blocked and is removed by my admin! Keep up the great work and keep on traveling. The trollls will get bored soon enough.
Great views Noel...best in flight entertainment by a mile !! And the scenery on the drive looks pretty good as well as did you driving on the "wrong"side of the road !! Amazing story re the aircraft...it is a wonder the scrap metal merchants haven't taken it !! Noel I found this on the internet .....In 1973 a United States Navy DC plane ran out of fuel and crashed on the black beach at Sólheimasandur, in the South Coast of Iceland. Fortunately, everyone in that plane survived. Later it turned out that the pilot had simply switched over to the wrong fuel tank. That is one hell of a waterfall !! Great stuff Noel and keep up the great work on the land or in the sky...really enjoyed this video...stay safe and well mate !! Looking forward to your next adventure !!
9:48 when McDonalds is banned in Iceland it be like...
Why is it banned?
@@jayvonwebb4864 probably to stop Iceland being Americanized! It is a good move though! Places are always spoiled when they are Americanized!
Jayvon Webb They bailed after economic crisis like ten years back. The last ever cheeseburger meal sold is actually in a sealed case at a Reykjavik hostel on webcam to watch it’s slow breakdown.
@@jayvonwebb4864 Its not banned, it just went Bankrupt in 2008 then never returned. Its for the best its an awful place.
It wasn't banned - it was too expensive for them to import ingredients.
WOW! Not seen a Jetstream in years, used to fly in a 31 and a 41 when BAE had them as corporate planes, remember the 31 being loving termed the bone shaker lol
Did you get your Mc Whale Burger, I laughed at that, the wife rolled her eyes.
Sadly impossible. There's no Mc Donald's anywhere on Iceland. The last one closed around 10 years ago.
There’s a default local burger chain but no actual McDonalds. Whale meat, I dunno
Svið burger! xD
do not get caught speeding in Iceland. You'd be shocked at the fines!
How much are they?
@@RuhulAmin-cv7gg The lowest fine is around $400
This was amazing! And it looked like dawn at midnight due to the sun and axis placement, which was so cool!
The Caynuck not sure precisely when Noel was there but the time of sunset in Reykjavik was a minute past midnight on June 27 with sunrise about three hours later. His watch says it was 23:57 when he recorded that sunset and the sun seems to have two or three minutes left in it before it disappears on over the horizon. Reykjavik is not far enough north to have any days of 24 hour sunlight but 21 hours isn’t half bad!
Excellent piece to camera in the Cee'd Noel, love your banter, keep up the good work, Cheers Andy
Glad you enjoyed it
I’ve been inside the Crashed Plane too. Amazing country and amazing people. Luckily we managed to drive right up to it and dint need the 4 mile walk. That was around 6 years ago though.
I totally agree with your new approach. Being Australian, the shortest international flight from say Sydney is three hours to New Zealand. Flying to Asia, the first half of the flight is over Australia. West coast USA is 14-15 hours, Europe is roughly 24 hours including a two hour transit in Singapore/Bangkok/Dubai . So the concept of flying somewhere just to turn around go back is unusual. Once I went to the USA for a 90 minute site inspection and then came straight back - no jet lag that way! I would rather see more of your destinations and also, some of the local food.
What nice road trip on afternoon here at the south shore of Iceland! Hopefully you will also cover the north part as well one day, if you haven't done so. Take care Noel and thanks for sharing
I am in Iceland right now and in winter the views are stunning too.
Sitting here in my home in Reykjavík, in late March, watching this video definitely makes me wish we could skip ahead to summer all at once! The south coast is incredible. The name "Höfn" is pronounced something like "Hup" in Icelandic, but for a non-native speaker, that terminal sound is nearly impossible to get right for an Icelander's standard, so "Hofinn" works. I would love to see you come back again sometime! (For some scenic air travel, the flight into Akureyri is particularly fun because the airport is surrounded on three sides by mountains, at the bottom of a fjörd.)
Loved the ipad/JBL speaker combo nailed to the bulkhead as "inflight entretainment"
Hi Noel another great video, this one was of extra interest to me as I was an apprentice working on the Jetstream 32 at Prestwick Airport where it was built in late 70s early 80's Scottish Aviation (shortly afterwards became Bae) enjoyed flying them in later years. not giving away my age : )
Noel versus the volcano! Great video 👍
Thanks...! Best video yet, looking forward to many more. Cheers Mate
Great words at the end Noel. You hit the nail on the head. Have fun and enjoy 😉
Thanks, will do!
Thank you for taking me along on your trips.
Not much to do in Iceland, then. Shoot down a C-47 that's already down. It's down because you said it lost its engines. It appears to have no engines. But that Jetstream - another gem of a report. Nicely done Noel.
Thanks Noel most enjoyable trip well done
What a wonderful drive Noel.
That was a great video it was nice to see more of the country. Your doing a great job.
Noel Philips is having way too much fun. It's not just that he has "bragging rights" or anything else to boast about. It's just that he is discovering new stuff -- and see joy in that. Thanks, Noel!
I ve done the same trip some Years ago :D. BUt I flew with the bigger Dornier. Really good video!
Do you think you could make a video about how you manage to afford your flights, how you got into what you’re doing rn, what sources of income you have and stuff like that? I’m really interested
Jonas Koturenka And the last 3 digits on the back of the card please sir 😉
Are you jealous?
What an absolutely fascinating video Noel! Iceland looks truly beautiful and mysterious at the same time in that surreal kind of way - a land of ice and trolls and very old stories to be told. I really enjoyed your report and never thought I would say this but you have truly inspired me to visit one day. Thanks Noel! 💥🥾🛫🗻🌆
Thanks Gwen, really glad you enjoyed it!
I´m from Iceland, but I don´t live there anymore, so I enjoyed this one particularly - but I really like all your videos so far. Just discovered your channel day before yesterday and have been binge-watching. You are a natural, music is good, content interesting, Thumbs up to you!
Thank you very much!
Stunning scenery, tick. Midnight sun, tick. Abandoned C-47, tick. Outstanding waterfall, tick. Jetstream 32 TICK TICK TICK OH MY GOD TICK TICK ITS A JETSTREAM 32 TICKTICK TICKERTY TICK! Once an avgeek...
Wow Noel, besides the funny and sometimes ambiguous comments, Iceland opened you op. Glad to see now more about the real Noel as human and not only as the flight reviewer. Hope to see more of these video's as a change between your beautiful aviation videos. Loved the joke on the vulcano at 15:00, it cracked me up.
Looks like an awesome country, stunning scenery, Keep up the videos! You're the aviation vlogger on TH-cam Noel xD
Great vid Noel!!! My name is engraved on that plane!!! An amazing country though which I’ve explored on both bicycle and camper van now. You can actually view the last ever McDonalds meal sold in Iceland at a Reykjavik hostel as they saved it and put it in a sealed case.
Done that trip myself 2 years ago - great fun
some breathtaking scenery there!!😍😍
Keep putting out vids.........love joining you on these tours.........let me know if you ever coming to Namibia!
Another brilliant video Noel, Keep the amazing content up pal 👍😊
Greenland and Iceland I plan on visiting sometime in the near future. They are nice remote yet beautiful countries with great people and views. And the airlines have some cool rare aircraft and the endless sites like the C-47 Skytrain.
Enjoyed the vlog. We have been looking into visiting Iceland since we watched Eurovision story of fire saga, which showcased this beautiful country
What an absolutely stunning place!
I agree with you! You have a stunning job. And oh so lucky you are! Don't give it up. 💞
I am so happy that you finally reflected about your privilege of traveling. It's crazy because I was literally just discussing that with my partner yesterday while we watched one of your previous videos. (My partner is the one that got me into your channel). But my one "issue" that I've always had is just the fact that you go to all these amazing places all over the world, yet often don't really explore them and just go to the next place immediately. And it's like, my thought while watching your videos sometimes is "wow, I would *love* to be where he is right now and get to walk around/see the landscape/learn about their culture- and he's not going to do any of that even though he could if he wanted to". But you have this fortunate ability to travel and your lifestyle is a dream for many (although I am sure you work hard to be able to do this and you put so much effort into making this content for us). I know you're all about the flying experience and that's the point of your content, but I still wish you would schedule more time at each place when possible. And I know that jealousy on my part is probably the primary reason for this pet peeve I've had with your content, lol. But my feeling is somewhat justified- and based on your speech in this video, it sounds like you agree!
I hope that going forward you will indeed take advantage of your travels, instead of missing the point of flying to these locations. (I mean most people's point in flying, which is the part where you're there and visit it as a tourist.) I recognize that your main purpose will always be about the flight which is your niche!
But seriously, you don't even have to film all of your extra time in each country. In fact, you probably shouldn't so that you can be fully mindful/in the present, experiencing things with your senses (not through a camera, focusing on narration and whatnot). Although I am sure we wouldn't mind any bonus footage/pictures/commentary of special sights that you decide to insert in these videos!
Anyway, you're awesome, and I'm just so glad that you've addressed this topic because it will no longer bother me in the back of my mind when we watch your videos. :P
Thank you, and yes I agree I need to see more. It may make my trips a little longer but by appreciating where I am I feel I can bring better videos. Thanks so much for watching!
@@noelphilips wow thanks for replying, also!! 💙
Awesome video! Flying to Iceland from Greenland in September. Can't wait!
Awesome, have an amazing trip!
Love your videos Noel, keep it up 👍
Wonderful vid Noel, Iceland is so on the list for me, beautiful scenery you shot from the plane and the seat hire car, one day, ill do the same journey with my partner. Thanks for the vid, stay safe. 🙏
Glad you're travelling again Noel! I always look forward to your videos. Great video,Iceland looks stunning.
Iceland is... just... wow. I hope I can visit there one day.
Love how you randomly drop a bit of Brad Paisley in there!
Hi Noel I am an aircraft enthusiast and love your trip reports but I also like to see places that I visit. Enjoy your time traveling and we will enjoy the scenery of the country you are in
Awesome Noel. Thanks for bringing us with you..
The Icelandic countryside looks alot like the Moher Cliffs of Ireland and Swiss Alps.
We visited Iceland in January this year and it was just white everywhere but that scenery is just awesome. I cannot wait to return someday
Proper inspiration for a fly drive trip there! Considering doing the same myself now
Wow Iceland looks amazing it would be a great place to go when the world opens back up again
I love how you treat every car you get to drove like a sports car. Even when you went to Spain for lunch with Rachel and you drove a mini!
What can I say. Hire cars - the fastest cars known to man!
Great vid! Iceland looks amazing..... road trips are great. Go slow. See what you can see.... and much safer right now.
5:59 reminds me of Jeremy Clarkson saying POWWAAAAHH
That "C-47" sure looks like a DC-3! ;-)
Hi Noel, I'm a long-time viewer - recent subscriber. What a fantastic report :) I Live in Australia - so Iceland is definitely at the other end of the world for me. However I've always been fascinated by it. For sure a trip to put on my bucket list :)
Quite the tourist attraction, I understand, that plane. Probably why it hasn’t been hauled off. On at least one album cover.
It was nice to hear you were listening to Brad Paisley while you were driving.. Iol.
Of course! My favourite artist :)
@@noelphilips yes mine too!.. hope all is well for you today!. Much love from the U.S!. 😊
Really enjoying your channel Noel, Great to meet you the other day! I look forward to seeing myself in the sky diving video! (I'm Ed, the first one who jumped).
Hi Ed! Hope you’ve recovered! Still bruised and sore 😂😂 And hope you enjoyed the dolphins 😂
Those blue engine cowlings remind me of the FlyPelican service i caught from Newcastle to Sydney in February, also on a J32. Great to see some travel reviews again on TH-cam!
Another incredible video ! Keep it up!
What a "cool" experience Noel. Great scenery. Iceland is on my bucket list of places to visit.
Iceland is beautiful! I really enjoyed this video!
Whoops - forgot to say that I loved the drive across Iceland!! Well done. When you said 1,267 kms to the airport, it only took a few seconds to calculate that you were not catching a flight that night.
Thank you! And yeah it’s a long drive but had all night to get there!
Jetstream 32 omg
Thank you so much Noel. This is content!!
Fantastic video. Seriously. Can't get enough!
You have to come back! Niceair is a new airline flying from the north of iceland that will start flying this summer. That could be a video ;)
Really nice views. Love your video’s Noel.
This has to be one of your best ! Thanks for sharing it.
Keek up the hard work noel
1:31 Jetstream 32s are still operational in New Zealand by Origin Air which is a small reigional airlines and by Life Flight which is an Air Ambulance service.
Went Iceland in 2019 on one of Iceland airs amazing 757’s….Truly one of the most amazing countries on planet earth
