Great video! Was hoping you would buzz the lighthouse and the shipwreck, and the Cliffs of Moher on your way back. I visited there in 2000. Looking forward to returning someday.

Was hoping I'd get a glimpse of UA127 after hearing the chatter...they obviously stayed well away from you :-)

well, at least you and Dave were smiling right off the bat from take off.... and you had to run out out battery. Go figure. That would have been a fun flight to watch. :-)

wow, much more serious you are with this guy than the other one. You threw me for a loop here. I did think you meant to be funny when you told him about missing the landing that were in hospitable. Or at least I thought it was funny and no one smiled. :-)

Hi John, that's a full instructor cross water check for PPLs and the instructor is not me! The islands have short runways and can be tricky I think the lads handled it very well.
