Grand Caravan to Unalakleet: Flying Bering Air to remote Alaska communities!

July 1, 2022

In this video we hop aboard a Bering Air Cessna 208B Grand Caravan for the milk run from Nome to Unalakleet via Stebbins and St. Michael. We cross the icy Norton Sound and wonder if we’d have the gliding distance to reach land if the engine failed.

We take the shortest segment we’ve ever seen at around 3 minutes from Stebbins to St. Michael. And we fly at just 1200 feet for the final 20-minute leg to Unalakleet. Incredible wintery remote Alaskan scenery the whole way! Filmed in April 2022.

Our crazy planespotting mission in Tokyo

While we were in Tokyo recently we wanted to find the most exciting way to go planespotting around Tokyo Haneda Airport (HND) — and we found it! Instead of sticking to the usual spots, we took a water taxi out onto Tokyo Bay to get up close to the runways.

3 hours (transatlantic!) in the Dash 8 cockpit

We’re going transatlantic on the workhorse Dash 8-200 with Air Greenland – flying from the brand new Nuuk International Airport in Greenland to Reykjavik’s Keflavik Airport in Iceland (KEF). And we’re sitting in the jumpseat which means we have 3 hours on this very-long-haul-for-a-turboprop over the ice cap and remote east Greenland plus the Atlantic Ocean.

Flying the A340 from Antarctica to Africa!

It’s time to leave Antarctica and head home after 8 incredible days on the 7th continent with White Desert. That means we’re greeting the inbound A340-300 (operated by Hi-Fly) as it lands at Wolf’s Fang Runway on a beautiful bluebird day with almost no wind. Then it’s time to climb onboard and make the 5.5 hour trek back to South Africa.
