    Great video! I used to live a couple of blocks from Ft. Lauderdale Executive. Became a Private Pilot in 1975 and used to fly the Islander in the Caribbean with a friend flying from San Juan PR to Culebra, St. Thomas and St. Croix. I love that little plane!. Due to health reasons I no longer fly, I'm 69 Now. But you can be sure I fly the Islander in the simulator!

    As somebody who recently got X-Plane 12 and the BN2A videos like this are truly inspiring for flight routes!

    I'd rather do that than fly a 747 for Lufthansa. What an awesome job.

    Hey! Awesome video - how long does that flight from FL to Treasure Cay take? and do you guys operate any other aircraft other than the BN2 Islander?

      @MarekMarciniak  Před rokem

      Ho, it takes about 1 hour and 15 minutes and no, the company only uses BN2's.

    Amazing! I want to fly the Islander in MS FS2020. You said the reduced climb power at 500ft agl is 25in and 2500 rpm, but what are those two numbers in the cruise please? Thanks :)

    Why do you cruise so high? For safety over water?

    • @MarekMarciniak
      @MarekMarciniak  Před 10 měsíci

      mainly to take advantage of stronger tailwinds, to stay cooler or just for a smoother ride.

      @@johnnyrocco There is quite a few birds that fly ~5k feet like this but the way how dark and out of focus this is it almost makes me thing it's some thing inside the cabin, furball from the jacket or something like that.
