MILK RUN UNDER THE MIDNIGHT SUN: Flying Wideroe Across the Arctic! Fraser: I remember landing at Kirkenes on SAS from Oslo at about 10pm and there's a late-evening 'milk run' that connects out of that, doing your evening run in reverse. I didn't take it but those car-rental booths were equally shut when I arrived and I had to come back in the morning to pick up my car! Thanks for the video. I actually just watched the Alaska milk-run video and was going to suggest there that you did this one, but you beat me to it!

Whilst flying over the beautiful mountains, did you happen to spot a lone, huge bipedal creature walking anywhere around? You could almost reach out and touch the peaks lol. That was a beautiful flight. That reminded me of flying over The Alps to Austria. I kept thinking. hoping. PLEASE don't let us crash in that environment. i would have hated having to dine on a mate to survive lmao.

What an amazing experience, stunning scenery, and I loved the flights where we were able to watch the landing gear retract and deploy. But what a privilege to get onto the flight deck and I expect that your experience of flying made this a special day for you! I would love to make this trip one day. Great value for money too.

Noel sorry to tell you are wrong but Isolated on the polar archipelago of Svalbard at 78 degrees north, Longyearbyen is the world's northernmost permanent settlement. Halfway between mainland Norway and the North Pole, the 2, 300 residents here are used to extremes.

Awesome video! I want to do it, too. Before 9/11 I rode in the cockpit of a number of European airlines (Adria, Swiss, Lufthansa and Air France) because I'm a private pilot in the U. S. Alas, that is no longer possible, so I really enjoyed your cockpit moments.

That happened to me in Sydney airport many years ago. I stayed the night due to bad weather and a postponement. I tried to sleep with the aroma of chemicals cleaners were using all around me. The next morning I was none the worst for wear.

Loved the reflection on your burger! Wow. what a treat to be on the Dash 8 flight deck. I have had some random camp outs in terminals too. Lights out: ) What a trenendous video Noel! Inspires me to fly this in Flight Simulator FSX.

Stooging around Ethiopia on DC3s was a lot of fun, but, alas, that was back in the day. Maybe Ethiopian Airlines still offer what I believe they called their 'Historic Route', but on more up-to-date machinery.

Amazing flying in the light at midnight.
The craziest flight I made was to Mulu, Sarawak in the middle of the Borneo jungle, only accessible by plane and river boat. Huge caves and limestone mountains there.

Excellent video Noel! Andenes (Andoya) brought back memories of the early 1970s when I was involved in an RAF/NATO exercise! I've been following most of your videos and this one was the best one so far!

OMG. You found a Hungry Jacks. lol
And seriously a Whopper is the best junk food ever
12: 26 lovin the engine ribbons on a prop. Never seen that before
And awesome you got to ride up front bro

Absolutely in love with the Norwegian landscape; it reminds me so much of my own country, Scotland. What an incredible feat Noel. You must be sick of the sound of propellers after that.
reply

That is another milk run service that I'd love to fly on. The scenery there is so different to the Australian outback milk run I reviewed earlier this year. Thanks for sharing.
reply

I liked the video even before you got in the cockpit. even better. Im enjoying your videos more and more I come across them. Keep up the good work. P. S the Barra video was special too
reply

First it is cool to see an Dash-8 that arent an Q400 and second it is so nice of the captian to invite you in to the cockpit! Thats what you call service when you love planes
reply

I am so glad that the pilots and crew showed some real Norwegian hospitality Your videos are great, and as other people have written as well, so much better then many other AV vlogs!
reply

Thanks for posting. I enjoyed watching it, and I'm glad you were able to sit in the jumpseat. I have flown the Dash8-100, 300 and 400 for over 25 years its a great airplane.
reply

The other aviation bloggers are too busy trying to score a freebie in Q Suites to worry about the flights that are a lifeline to real people and communities. Well done Noel!
reply

Love this content. Goes to show your versatility of reviewing things. Great Airports, great scenery too! Have always wanted to fly on the dash-8. Was it loud?
reply

Brilliant Noel. Once went from KL to Kuching-Bintulu-Miri-Kota Kinabalu-KL with the mid two legs on an old Fokker 50. Would love to see that journey!
