Thanks for all your support from the last channel update! Enjoy regular Sunday programming 😊 I am currently in Baku, Azerbaijan, having arrived from Istanbul’s New Airport last night. That’ll be the next video on this channel, landing to the public next week! Hope you enjoy this novel little flight as much as I did 😊 (*yes, there’s a minor sound blip at the end - the missing words are “and that’s it for another trip report, and I’m here in Wick” 🤷🏼♂️)
Oh my god I can’t believe I only realized this now... soft drinks are named because soft is the opposite of hard, and hard drinks are alcoholic drinks and soft drinks are non-alcoholic 🤦🏻♂️
Those are my favourite ones. The best flights I ever experienced were in January 2002 with a now defunct airline called Skyways between Arlanda and Storuman. It was a Fokker 50 jet and the propellers made a huge racket. It was snowing very heavily when I arrived which made the landing all the more fun.
I love these small "local" airlines. They provide care and a service that many of the big mainline airlines can´t. It feels way more personal when you fly with them!
Hi Paul, ever thought about taking eastern airways welsh domestic route from valley to Cardiff? It subsidised by the welsh government and is very cheap at only £25 one way and also operated by a J41like in this vid, anyway thanks for another great report 👍🏻
Interesting video Paul! As much as I do love flying in the larger aircraft, there's some special about these little aircraft. The flying seems rawer. It's like driving a gokart verses a Ford Mondeo. :) (that's the best analogy I could think of).
haha you'll have to check out my latest video! We have quite a few ATRs, Dash-8s and Saab 340s flying around, as well as more less well known one (that I don't know off the top of my head... :) Beachcraft?)
7:37 - Something quite interesting about RAF Skitten is how even though it's now partly in use as a quarry, the company operating the quarry have used the positioning of the runways as the dig site, so the excavation still looks like a runway from above!
Thank you for your positive report. As Aberdeen is the centre for many off shore activities, the Wick - Aberdeen connection is very important to the local community. It also connects folk to onward journeys in the UK and abroad so it is a much needed link.
Fantastic vid, Paul .. I love seeing these more offbeat routes, carriers and aircraft. I am former cabin crew on these smaller regional birds myself (not the J41, but others similar) .. so when I see this type featured, its always exciting to me!
Paul! Outstanding. Crap, everyone is doing travel now--but none as good as you! All the major cities have been covered--but who will show you Wick? Only you Paul. And I care because I'm going to Scotland in the next 1 to 2 years, traveling the distilleries for 2 weeks, seeing the sights in the far northern reaches. A suggestion--you need to morph yourself from a train and plane Travel Channel, into more of a comprehensive Travel Channel, such as a Rick Steves type production. Where to stay in Wick, culture of Wick, where to eat, etc. You can spend a year in Scotland! where to go on Mull, where to go on Islay, how to get to and see and sample the whiskeys. Which BnB's to stay in..... Love your stuff glad you're going full time looking forward to great productions
Bcoz everyone doing travel faking it happy to be on Flatbed Business Class flights ONLY. Nobody wants to travel like Paul did. Paul videos are the best.
What a brilliant video, thanks for sharing. I just love flying in turboprops. My most exciting journey was from Innsbruck to Vienna flying in a Tyrolean Airways Dash 8-400. Terrific scenery and a rather bumpy approach into Vienna! Cheers Pete
Great to see you flying through my home town Aberdeen. You’re very right re the terminal upgrades. Very much overdue. They’ve made some great progress in the last couple of years. The Northern Lights lounge is also one of the best 3rd party lounges I’ve been in. I’m BA Gold and usually choose it over the new BA lounge there too as the food is so much better! Great video!
I love the new rebrand my man very well done! You have 100% of my support as you move to this next stage of your TH-cam career. Also on a side note your intro reminds me of the Virgin brand and that’s a compliment ;)
Great video, as always! I had a chance to fly RyanAir, operated on a leased PartnAir CV-580, from Galway to Luton as a kid. A real treat that I'll never forget.
Another great video. I certainly enjoy watching you make your way through the terminal buildings of the various airports. Particularly ABZ as we will be flying from there in the summer. I also enjoyed the "Enhanced" or so it seemed, in this video. Keep up the good work.
Paul (I haven't watched the video yet, as I was surfing your website), we have quite a bit in common. My family traveled a lot during my upbringing and instilled the bug in me. We were all up and down the eastern US every summer. I traveled a bit as an adult, too. I lived in Switzerland for a while and loved it. But, I was in Civil Air Patrol in the late '70s (yes, I'm old) and met some RAF cadets during a glider experience. The gliders were so cool. Quietly...well, gliding...through the air. So peaceful. Civil Air Patrol really helped shape me into who I am today. I wish I had stayed in longer, but I got married and life goes on. In any case, it was great to read your bio and learn this little nugget of info. Now, onto the video... :)
so glad you did a trip out of Aberdeen, I was born there and lived there till I was 14, got a lot of nostalgic memories at Aberdeen about to head off on family holidays.
When I first arrived at Aberdeen Dyce in January 1979 the 'new' lounge was being planned, the taxi driver who took me to my meeting told me it was soon going to have a major new by-pass round the city, the new by-pass was opened about 3 months ago (It bankrupted Carillion)! While there I flew to Wick on the same flight as Paul except it was a British Airways 'Budgie' (HS 748) which did the flight! Thanks for the trip down memory lane, great little video!
Quite ironic, the Dash8 at Wick was initially registered as G-JEDO, by Flybe. It was then sold to Aeor Contractors in 2013. Wick is often used as a stop for ferry flights over the Atlantic. With the takeover by Connect Airways Flybe will shrink dramatically, staff, aircraft and routes will go. This flight along with others receive subsidies from the Scottish Government being classified as Life Line Services. Some may survive in the remote areas, its other routes that will go. I always enjoy your facts, comments and interesting add ons.
My home airport! Always lovely to see it in TH-cam videos... I actually have great memories of the Eastern Jetstreams 41's, although the fares were often very expensive... love the Windows though
This used to be known as Dyce airport. I travelled from Dyce on a regular basis to Heathrow on my way to Entebbe Uganda as a 7 year old child on BEA back in the mid 1960's. I'm now 63. It is unrecognisable now - it looks very modern now.
The other day I watched a flight report video from Santiago, Chile, a place that I visited 40 years ago. They now have a huge and ultramodern terminal there, but I recognized the remains of the old modest terminal I knew from the architecture, when they showed the area that is now the duty-free shopping arcade there. I wrote a comment telling them that what is now a small section of the terminal was the WHOLE terminal back then, and I got a reply from the channel owner saying he was very impressed by that.
I can easily see the remnants of the ORD of my childhood (I’m 57) but it’s so tiny compared with the new bits and most of the old terminal is shopping and restaurants now.
Another highly interesting video Paul. These planes are still widely flown in Nepal by Yeti Airlines and I use them frequently. The sounds in your video were very familiar. Next time I'm over there I'll do a video inspired by your style. If you don't already plan to do so I'd love to see you do some videos of internal flights in Nepal.
Reminds me of a great trip I took many years ago, around Australia from Sydney via Cairns, Mt. Isa, Alice Springs, Adelaide, Melbourne, back to Sydney. Then to several remote spots in Papua New Guinea. All on small prop planes similar to your video. Remote and unusual, that's always a great trip and you do it well.
Aloha from Hawai'i! You might be interested to know that short flights are a fact of life here in the Hawaiian Islands as well as their high cost. From Honolulu to Moloka'i (20 minutes via prop); Kaua'i (25 minutes via jet); Maui (30 minutes via jet); maybe 35 - 40 minutes to Hilo and Kona. As you know, take-offs and landings are airlines' greatest expense, if for nothing else than fuel consumption. Your videos have improved in quality so much over the years. You are producing excellent work. Mahalo nui (thank you very much). If you ever get to Hawai'i, or better yet if you ever get to fly the Micronesia island hopper, I hope you will contact me beforehand. (I'm a patreon under another name.)
Always love your videos, Paul! I don't know if you've flown that way yet, but Florida actually has a few turboprops that fly up and down the peninsula (mostly ferrying people from places like Jacksonville, FL to Key West). Maybe you should give Silver Airways a look next time you're stateside and in Florida! Cheers!
The last time I flew a J41 was on American Connection (Trans States) Columbia, MO to St. Louis in 2006. It's a similar length flight. The Flight Attendants would only sometimes do a beverage service.
There is something really fun about the short routes, here in New Zealand there are a number of very short hops, one of that I have taken was PMR-WLG with an air time of around 20 minutes. Hope to see you down this one some time!
Appreciate the video Paul. I've been planning a trip to Scotland and wanted to find out what the flight from Aberdeen to Wick was like. Planning to visit in April of this year for almost two weeks. Cheers.
Love these smaller aircraft on commercial routes. I often fly with Rex Airlines here in Australia using the SAAB A340 and yes they give out a sweet just before landing and its like flying in the the old days! Wick looks wet! Stay dry and really enjoyed your flight and review Paul. !!
You should try across to Stornoway, Benbecula and Barra. Barra is a beach landing, Benbecula you fly around a mountain to land and Stornoway the approach is over the sea. All great fun in the normal gusty Hebridean weather.
I used Eastern's old SOU-LPL link on Jetstream a fair bit when I was at uni in Liverpool. Absolutely loved it. Saved changing trains and a looong rail journey, and was no more expensive than the train, and sometimes significantly cheaper. Loved those planes, and was really gutted when they dropped the route :(
Great to see you trying out the smaller planes and airports. You should come up to Shetland on a Saab 340 or 2000! Especially as the 2000s are being phased out this year and next year!
I am sooooo so so so jealous of what you do! I’m a huge aviation fan but can not afford pleasure flights like this. To be funded even partially by TH-cam would be a dream come true.... You are so lucky! X
Looking very nice....It looks warm there where it was Minus 23 degree last week.. Today it is about 43 degrees!!!! Crazy!!!!! A so call hot wave!!!! Crazy here in Chicago..... But you fly safe....
Great video! Reminded me of my flight with Eastern from Cardiff to Anglesey. Looked like a great flight to take! Maybe you could do a trip report on flights from Lands End airport one day as surely that has to be the furthest south UK airport?
£97 is not bad as the train is really expensive from aberdeen I used to train it all the time as I played semi professional football for wick and I lived in aberdeen another great video mate keep up the great work
Reminds me of a flight I took on a northwest airlink (airlines...now delta) Saab 340 from Cleveland to Detroit for the first leg of a Cleveland-Detroit-Amsterdam-Vienna-Dubai trip I took several years ago. About a 35 minute flight or a 2 hour drive. Interesting to fly on these little planes.
I haven’t flown a Jet Stream (31) since early 1990s (while in University) from Chico, California (CIC) to SFO (on a United Express flight); Was bumpy Over San Francisco Bay and fun landing at same time , on parallel runway with a 747-400
I do alot of scottish flights in my flight simulator and upload them to my little youtube channel, great video :) Have always wanted to go to Wick, i believe they have an awesome cafe at the airport. You have a new sub ;)
how is the ride compared to the EM2 Brasilia plus miss the turboprops as in the US only Horizon/Alaska flies them otherwise not much except silver with saabs and ATRs anyway great video and happy trails
Hey, only saw this one now I'm opening Patreon! Weird! I like having the recording month added to the video. Pleasant colour on the wall in that lounge. Very stylish and calm. You do need to do a helicopter flight some day, that'd be cool for variety! Boarding through a long shed. Nice roar! Pretty cool video indeed! Cool plane, cool route. Ridiculous price if not for a TH-cam video :D.
Hi Paul, Thanks very much for another brilliant trip report. My family and I are from Christchurch New Zealand and we really enjoy your trip reports !. Our city is famous for our earthquake that happened in February 2011 that wiped out most of our central city. Would you ever consider doing a trip report in New Zealand ? it would be fantastic to see one on here with our quirky airline. Air New Zealand is quite famous with there in flight safety videos. Thanks for the trip reports and keep up the great work.
Great videos Paul! Have you ever considered trying to fly corporate charter? You have not truly experienced flying until you have been on a Citation X. I fuel aircraft for a living at SFO and can say that charter is better than commercial, though a bit pricey.
NORSHUTTLE I’m tempted to try Widerøe, they do a Twice a week flight to LPL (My local airport) on Monday’s and Thursdays, to and from Bergen, if I’m not mistaken it’s their furthest south UK route.
Well Paul you certainly achieved your goal of making a “ novelty and pretty cool video “ . I enjoyed it , it was different and interesting . Well done .
Thanks for all your support from the last channel update! Enjoy regular Sunday programming 😊 I am currently in Baku, Azerbaijan, having arrived from Istanbul’s New Airport last night. That’ll be the next video on this channel, landing to the public next week!
Hope you enjoy this novel little flight as much as I did 😊
(*yes, there’s a minor sound blip at the end - the missing words are “and that’s it for another trip report, and I’m here in Wick” 🤷🏼♂️)
Wingin’ It! Paul Lucas have fun in Baku - one of my favourite cities in the world! 😘
Remember, don't do full-time youtube without a backup plan.
9:30 Uuuuh... I can see you speaking but I only hear the background music...
Thank you for keeping the full take off with just pure sound it was always my frav thing in your video’s 🙏
xe.com
Oh my god I can’t believe I only realized this now... soft drinks are named because soft is the opposite of hard, and hard drinks are alcoholic drinks and soft drinks are non-alcoholic 🤦🏻♂️
Omg dw bro. Me too 😂
Yeah, how about that?
Me too
Sean Dunne I didn’t k ow that, so cool ,
Squidman 1:24
It is sometimes nice to watch a little odd ball flight every once in a while instead of the bustling jet flights
Those are my favourite ones. The best flights I ever experienced were in January 2002 with a now defunct airline called Skyways between Arlanda and Storuman. It was a Fokker 50 jet and the propellers made a huge racket. It was snowing very heavily when I arrived which made the landing all the more fun.
Fun Fact: Aberdeen is the busiest heliport in the world.
It’s an accurate fact.
Aberdeen Aviation Europe not in the world? 🤔
Oil industry
Because of the frequent helicopter trips to the rigs in the north sea I presume?
oop yeah, the video clarified it lol
I love the variety in your channel Paul.
Finally a trip reporter visits Aberdeen!
Aberdeen airport is my local airport. This flight often passes over my house
I love these small "local" airlines. They provide care and a service that many of the big mainline airlines can´t. It feels way more personal when you fly with them!
always a pleasure watching and listening to you and your professional reviews. My compliments
Nice video Paul! I love small regional aircraft. I hope the rebranding goes well for you I will definitely keep watching you! 👍😀✈️
Hi Paul, ever thought about taking eastern airways welsh domestic route from valley to Cardiff? It subsidised by the welsh government and is very cheap at only £25 one way and also operated by a J41like in this vid, anyway thanks for another great report 👍🏻
I already took this last summer and the video will be posted soon 👍🏻
Wingin’ It! Paul Lucas Nice can’t wait to see it!
Interesting video Paul! As much as I do love flying in the larger aircraft, there's some special about these little aircraft. The flying seems rawer. It's like driving a gokart verses a Ford Mondeo. :) (that's the best analogy I could think of).
Cheers Paul! I love a flight in a turboprop now and again - not sure you have too many Down Under these days?
haha you'll have to check out my latest video! We have quite a few ATRs, Dash-8s and Saab 340s flying around, as well as more less well known one (that I don't know off the top of my head... :) Beachcraft?)
I will! You’re probably thinking of Beech/Beechcraft, the King Air is a popular commuter prop.
Good luck with the new gig, Paul. We enjoy your videos.
Paul i love the variety in your channel now, from big planes, little planes, long flights, short flights and even trains too
Thanks, Paul, for taking me back home for a few minutes! xxx
7:37 - Something quite interesting about RAF Skitten is how even though it's now partly in use as a quarry, the company operating the quarry have used the positioning of the runways as the dig site, so the excavation still looks like a runway from above!
Hope nobody tries to land in an emergency...
Thank you for your positive report. As Aberdeen is the centre for many off shore activities, the Wick - Aberdeen connection is very important to the local community. It also connects folk to onward journeys in the UK and abroad so it is a much needed link.
Fantastic vid, Paul .. I love seeing these more offbeat routes, carriers and aircraft. I am former cabin crew on these smaller regional birds myself (not the J41, but others similar) .. so when I see this type featured, its always exciting to me!
I enjoy Paul’s videos. He is informative and does research on routes, locations, and planes, I liked the guitar music on this video!
I lived in Wick! You must try Loganair from Wick to Edinburgh!
Paul! Outstanding. Crap, everyone is doing travel now--but none as good as you! All the major cities have been covered--but who will show you Wick? Only you Paul.
And I care because I'm going to Scotland in the next 1 to 2 years, traveling the distilleries for 2 weeks, seeing the sights in the far northern reaches.
A suggestion--you need to morph yourself from a train and plane Travel Channel, into more of a comprehensive Travel Channel, such as a Rick Steves type production. Where to stay in Wick, culture of Wick, where to eat, etc.
You can spend a year in Scotland! where to go on Mull, where to go on Islay, how to get to and see and sample the whiskeys. Which BnB's to stay in.....

Nice vid thanks Paul. Nice to see some of my old stomping grounds. Last time I did that trip was on an Air Ecosse SD330

Thanks so much Paul. I love these off of the beaten path destinations. More please :)
so glad you did a trip out of Aberdeen, I was born there and lived there till I was 14, got a lot of nostalgic memories at Aberdeen about to head off on family holidays.
Great to see a Jetstream again! I spent many many hours on them in the past, back in the days when you could sit and watch the pilots at work 😀
When I first arrived at Aberdeen Dyce in January 1979 the 'new' lounge was being planned, the taxi driver who took me to my meeting told me it was soon going to have a major new by-pass round the city, the new by-pass was opened about 3 months ago (It bankrupted Carillion)!

Nice Airport..Looks like a neat little adventure. If you dont like the weather just wait fifteen minutes. Pretty country. I need to get off the couch!
This used to be known as Dyce airport. I travelled from Dyce on a regular basis to Heathrow on my way to Entebbe Uganda as a 7 year old child on BEA back in the mid 1960's. I'm now 63. It is unrecognisable now - it looks very modern now.

Next time I'm over there I'll do a video inspired by your style. If you don't already plan to do so I'd love to see you do some videos of internal flights in Nepal.
Very reminiscent of flights on Alaska Airlines' subsidiary Horizon from Seattle and Portland, including the 'corrugated Iron structure'.
Reminds me of a great trip I took many years ago, around Australia from Sydney via Cairns, Mt. Isa, Alice Springs, Adelaide, Melbourne, back to Sydney. Then to several remote spots in Papua New Guinea. All on small prop planes similar to your video. Remote and unusual, that's always a great trip and you do it well.
Nice flight and very good Airport Lounge.
Good to see you've been back up visiting us in the north! Loving the new intro with the new brand name :) hope you're having a good time in Baku!
Loved your novelty video about your novelty flight Paul. Keep them up! Kansas City, MO.
Very good video Paul. I’m enjoying all your content
Carroll Planespotting hi carroll I’m Danny whatmore from menamescho
Danny whatmore oh hello Danny, how are you!? 😉
Carroll Planespotting I’m good how about you
I'm really glad you did this video, considering I was planning on taking this flight as part of a "grand tour" of the UK I'd been planning.
TH-cam perfect episode Thank you for all the nuanced coverage.
I know you’re not a fan, but I just love the sound of any Prop plane. It just makes me feel happy!
Aloha from Hawai'i! You might be interested to know that short flights are a fact of life here in the Hawaiian Islands as well as their high cost. From Honolulu to Moloka'i (20 minutes via prop); Kaua'i (25 minutes via jet); Maui (30 minutes via jet); maybe 35 - 40 minutes to Hilo and Kona. As you know, take-offs and landings are airlines' greatest expense, if for nothing else than fuel consumption. Your videos have improved in quality so much over the years. You are producing excellent work. Mahalo nui (thank you very much). If you ever get to Hawai'i, or better yet if you ever get to fly the Micronesia island hopper, I hope you will contact me beforehand. (I'm a patreon under another name.)
Always love your videos, Paul! I don't know if you've flown that way yet, but Florida actually has a few turboprops that fly up and down the peninsula (mostly ferrying people from places like Jacksonville, FL to Key West). Maybe you should give Silver Airways a look next time you're stateside and in Florida!
Cheers!
Good Stuff. Thanks for posting and sharing.
I feel lucky to dispatch J41's and Saab 2000s on a daily basis.
Cool flight. Some nice views of Northern Scotland. Flew Flybe from CDG to MAN a couple of years back. The flights was half empty, but was good.
The last time I flew a J41 was on American Connection (Trans States) Columbia, MO to St. Louis in 2006. It's a similar length flight. The Flight Attendants would only sometimes do a beverage service.
There is something really fun about the short routes, here in New Zealand there are a number of very short hops, one of that I have taken was PMR-WLG with an air time of around 20 minutes. Hope to see you down this one some time!
Appreciate the video Paul. I've been planning a trip to Scotland and wanted to find out what the flight from Aberdeen to Wick was like. Planning to visit in April of this year for almost two weeks. Cheers.
Never knew you were in town! Would have been nice to see you
Great video as always Paul! Love from Aberdeen!
Love these smaller aircraft on commercial routes. I often fly with Rex Airlines here in Australia using the SAAB A340 and yes they give out a sweet just before landing and its like flying in the the old days! Wick looks wet! Stay dry and really enjoyed your flight and review Paul. !!

Hi Paul, been a fan for years and like your new branding. I never knew you had a last name so I learned something new. Keep post your good work.
Interesting route and great report as always 👍👍
I used Eastern's old SOU-LPL link on Jetstream a fair bit when I was at uni in Liverpool. Absolutely loved it. Saved changing trains and a looong rail journey, and was no more expensive than the train, and sometimes significantly cheaper.

You should come up to Shetland on a Saab 340 or 2000! Especially as the 2000s are being phased out this year and next year!
Another great video Paul. Thanks for sharing!
I rather like this new style video 👍
Will you be taking that really short flight, from Westray to Papa Westray?
Good Luck Paul 😉And every success in making the leap to become a Full Time youtuber
Another great report thanks Paul
I am sooooo so so so jealous of what you do! I’m a huge aviation fan but can not afford pleasure flights like this. To be funded even partially by TH-cam would be a dream come true.... You are so lucky! X
Thank you Tracey! Which is your local airport?
My local airport is wick
This was a nice little flight trip. Well done
Been waiting for this video for ages, really annoyed TH-cam didn't give me the notification like it should.
My local airport, i will be doing this trip in the summer paul. Great video.
Looking very nice....It looks warm there where it was Minus 23 degree last week.. Today it is about 43 degrees!!!! Crazy!!!!! A so call hot wave!!!! Crazy here in Chicago..... But you fly safe....
I love your videos. Well done!
Great report. Such a novel little flight to take, looking forward to the next video.
Great video! Reminded me of my flight with Eastern from Cardiff to Anglesey. Looked like a great flight to take! Maybe you could do a trip report on flights from Lands End airport one day as surely that has to be the furthest south UK airport?
Another awesome video Paul!
£97 is not bad as the train is really expensive from aberdeen I used to train it all the time as I played semi professional football for wick and I lived in aberdeen another great video mate keep up the great work
Extremely interesting and enjoyable. Thanks so much!
Reminds me of a flight I took on a northwest airlink (airlines...now delta) Saab 340 from Cleveland to Detroit for the first leg of a Cleveland-Detroit-Amsterdam-Vienna-Dubai trip I took several years ago. About a 35 minute flight or a 2 hour drive. Interesting to fly on these little planes.
For a flight like no other you should fly from Glasgow to the Isle of Barra, the aircraft lands on the beech, think it is operated by Loganair.
Paul you did a great job. Nice review. Keep it up.
Paul,
Very nice KISS flight.
I would imagine Wick is quite beautiful on sunny days, they do have nice weather, don't they?
Cheers,
Rik Spector
I haven’t flown a Jet Stream (31) since early 1990s (while in University) from Chico, California (CIC) to SFO (on a United Express flight); Was bumpy Over San Francisco Bay and fun landing at same time , on parallel runway with a 747-400
..Hi Paul..Always find your videos very relaxing...Keep it up...
Fantastic video Paul, nice one!
I do alot of scottish flights in my flight simulator and upload them to my little youtube channel, great video :) Have always wanted to go to Wick, i believe they have an awesome cafe at the airport. You have a new sub ;)
how is the ride compared to the EM2 Brasilia plus miss the turboprops as in the US only Horizon/Alaska flies them otherwise not much except silver with saabs and ATRs anyway great video and happy trails
Hey, only saw this one now I'm opening Patreon! Weird!
I like having the recording month added to the video.
Pleasant colour on the wall in that lounge. Very stylish and calm.
You do need to do a helicopter flight some day, that'd be cool for variety!
Boarding through a long shed.
Nice roar!
Pretty cool video indeed! Cool plane, cool route. Ridiculous price if not for a TH-cam video :D.
Paul, we all know your favourite feature of an airport lounge is a post mix machine
Hi Paul, Thanks very much for another brilliant trip report. My family and I are from Christchurch New Zealand and we really enjoy your trip reports !. Our city is famous for our earthquake that happened in February 2011 that wiped out most of our central city. Would you ever consider doing a trip report in New Zealand ? it would be fantastic to see one on here with our quirky airline. Air New Zealand is quite famous with there in flight safety videos. Thanks for the trip reports and keep up the great work.
Air NZ safety videos are brilliant. Sure to keep your attention.
Fab video. Love this aircraft, which eastern airways also use on the Cardiff CWL to Anglesey VLY route that I get to use frequently.
That's pretty cool to see an aircraft push back under it's own power.
Also sounds amazing when sat next to the props!
Great videos Paul! Have you ever considered trying to fly corporate charter? You have not truly experienced flying until you have been on a Citation X. I fuel aircraft for a living at SFO and can say that charter is better than commercial, though a bit pricey.
Sadly well out of my price range!
I kind of miss the old intro, it was catchy and inviting
Great video! looking forward to seeing more. Subscribed! 😄😄
Great video! You should definitely try out Widerøe, both their Dashes and their E190-E2s! :)
NORSHUTTLE I’m tempted to try Widerøe, they do a Twice a week flight to LPL (My local airport) on Monday’s and Thursdays, to and from Bergen, if I’m not mistaken it’s their furthest south UK route.
@@pilatuspc-1226 Go for it man, its a great Experience! I was on the second flight ever foir Widerøe with the E2, its a stunning plane.
NORSHUTTLE Yeah I will definitely think about it they do on their 175’s and I’ve seen them do it on the Q400 aswell 👍🏻
Not a flight you see often on TH-cam. Would be cool to see you review the inaugural Emirates A380 to Glasgow in April!
Great video, I've flown on prop planes , great fun.
Well Paul you certainly achieved your goal of making a “ novelty and pretty cool video “ . I enjoyed it , it was different and interesting . Well done .
