This video shows a recent Angel Flight West Mission from the San Juan Islands near the Canadian border in Washington state to Skagit airport on the mainland. The passenger and his wife live on Lopez Island and are travelling to the mainland for regular medical treatment. The flight from Lopez Airport (S31) to Skagit (KBVS) is only 14 minutes. Without Angel Flight they would need to take ferries which make it a several hour trip. They were wonderful passengers and really appreciated the flight. I had volunteered to fly them on two subsequent days and you may catch a reference to that when we joke that we’ll be doing the same flight tomorrow.
I set up one of the GoPro cameras on the underside of the tail. I love the views you get from this. However, it’s a hassle to manage as there is no way to turn the camera on and off or charge the batteries. The GoPro batteries only run for about 1:15 - 1:30hr. That is ok for a relatively short flight like this but not practical for longer cross-countries.
In these videos, my main goal is to share what it’s like to fly these IFR flights in a Twin Diamond. I hope you enjoy the video. Please LIKE, SHARE and SUBSCRIBE if you do!
