Flight from Inverness (EGPE) to Barra (EGPR).

Highlights of a flight from Inverness to Barra on 8th April 2024.
Viewers may know that Barra is the only airport in the world where there is a scheduled airline service to a tidal beach.
We were in G-CCTT, a very nice C172S from Highland Aviation at Inverness. I cannot speak highly enough of that flying school in general and our instructor, Aidan, in particular.
There will be a separate video for the return journey.
All in all, a truly memorable day.

Great video. Did the same trip, in the same plane, a few years back.

31:55 That landing gear was pushed back over half a metre on landing. Watch in slow motion and you will see just how far aft the gear is pushed. How it manages to sustain such punishment is amazing. Great video and good to see Dalcross again. I remember when the terminal was little more than a shed next to the apron and it was serviced by Viscounts followed by HS748s and then later using flying sheds (Shorts 330/360). It is now a fully functioning airport set in land a stones throw away from the very impressive 1769 built Fort George, Ardersier.

No way. It would've ripped off. I watched at 1/4 speed and frame by frame . It barely flexes half a tire width. There's a smudge on the window right on top of the the 12 o'clock position on the tire and it doesn't move much relative to that. I have 1700 hours in Cessnas and even as an instructor I never saw even my worse student landings with overly heavy breaking pull the strut back more than half a tires worth. You're getting thrown off by the camera shake at touchdown.
