You blew us away with your achievement, yet became that little kid like we all do seeing the Blue Angels in action.

[@MickeLang]

Haha thanks Chris. I really became a freaking little kid in this moment :P

[@skywalk_luc]

Master Piece! Die Landung war einfach nur Boss! 👍😎😎

Amazing blue angel! Nice landing, and love to see your video. Keep going!

[@nicstevens6499]

Great video, great tribute and a perfect ending to your flight... Great work! Hope you create many more videos!

[@sollerovagen]

Great Micke, congratulations and what a wonderful sensational last approach on this ferry flight

[@MickeLang]

Yes the last one was almost too much🙈 Thanks☺️

[@buckbuchanan5849]

Fantastic work editing and putting this together for all, really appreciate it.

[@MickeLang]

Thank you for the nice words☺️

[@marcelflying]

Great series!

[@cipmars]

Congratulations. Respect, man!

[@MickeLang]

thank you!

[@jetblast5902]

What an ending :O Thanks for the footage and congrats for your achievement Micke!!

[@MickeLang]

Yes it was crazy!! Thank you, more is on it's way ;)

[@virtualmartijn]

Amazing, amazing trip and video series. Watched yours and Flightchops side by side. Looking forward to what's in store in the future. That new trailer on Diamond's main channel looks great 😊

[@MickeLang]

There‘s a lot in store😉 Thank you Martijn!

[@martinanidjar]

Congrats man! I started following you when you did the first crossing with Martin, I think you were not yet a pilot. You've come a long way, baby...!!! I totally understand your emotions there, and people might not understand what it feels to suddenly see you are sharing the field with the Blue Angels, or other legendary military planes. It is difficult to describe, but it does happen. I had it happen to me at least two times. One with the Blue Angels in Terre Haute, Indiana. Then a few other times with C-130s. Keep filming flights, thank you.

[@MickeLang]

Thank you Martin! It´s crazy to see them in real life right? :) Flight were filmed and more is on it's way ;)

[@MattyCrayon]

Congratulation!! Awesome videos! Your enthusiasm and energy were really contagious. Taxing past those Blue Angels... Priceless! 👍

[@MickeLang]

Priceless is the word haha, Thank you for watching :)

[@nicogi]

Amazing series... and achievement! I could almost feel your excitement after landing. Congrats on your first crossing with such a fun plane to fly too :) Cheers from CYQB!

[@MickeLang]

Thank you☺️

[@GaryMCurran]

Micke, while this was a while ago, congrats on your first, of many, I hope, Atlantic Crossings. Would be nice to see if one of the Blue Angels actually watched this series and then commented on your crossing. You did a great job and thanks for taking us along for the ride.

[@MickeLang]

That would be awesome if somebody from them would watch it haha Thank you for watching Gary and correct, more crossings are coming up here ;)

[@philipmcbride1275]

Wow. Un-fricking-believable!!!

[@aungkyawmoe]

Congratulations Micke. Safe flying.

[@MickeLang]

Thanks Aung!

[@nfvisuals]

Congrats kid!!! What an achievement, it was for sure the first of many many many of crossings you will do solo

[@MickeLang]

It was😉 Thank you Nuno☺️

[@morre6748]

Awesome. Thank you for sharing all of this with us - I’d love to ride along one day.

[@MickeLang]

Thank you for watching!! Noted, you just entered as number 2842947 in that list haha :P

[@roberto2468]

Thanks for sharing! Amazing trip and vid! As we love aviation... only enjoying this flight! ;) from Argentina

[@MickeLang]

Thanks for watching Roberto☺️

[@ericgutknecht6037]

Nice trip! Love that capability of doing a high speed approach onto short final in the DA42! Thanks for a great video series... oh, and don't forget the Canadian Forces Snowbirds were there for you too! :-) Cheers form CYOW!

[@MickeLang]

Thank you for watching! Yeah forgot to mention them but to be honest I did not know them until the airshow that's why my focus was full on the blue angels ;)

[@LinkinLoris]

This was awesome to watch, thank you for sharing! And- I felt exactly the same when I did my first crossing on the Q400 (just the opposite way, from Halifax to Riga) There’s just something special about crossing the pond in a prop.

[@MickeLang]

Thank you for watching Edgar! You absolutely right!!!

[@VincentArboriste]

What an amazing adventure. Congratulations. I live in Quebec and I dream of learning to fly and moving up north. Your last videos have been an inspiration to aim for the sky. Thank you!!!

[@MickeLang]

Love to read comments like this! :) You can do it ;) BR Micke

[@thewayfaringanarchists8157]

What a finish! Congrats!

[@MickeLang]

Thank you :)

[@UhYoUaReDeAd]

Finished my flight training at LGKV, heard you on the ATC randomly that day when passing for your Saudi Arabia trip and found your channel by mistake. I love watching your series, you’re making me fall in love with these airplanes even more than I did when training for my ATPL. How do I apply for your job, seems like a dream haha. Safe Flights!

[@MickeLang]

Thank you for watching! Happy that you like it☺️ LGKV is a great airport☺️

[@amgguy4319]

Micke's gunna be flying Gulfstreams soon, mark my words.

Thanks😊👍🏼

[@FlyingInEurope]

You are the best! If you come to EHLE (Lelystad, Netherlands) to deliver, you have a free beer waiting.

[@MickeLang]

That might happen soon😉

[@FlyingInEurope]

@@MickeLang haha I guessed so, this is DiamondLand! Drop me a message when it happens!

[@srinivasnyayapathi9083]

WOW!!!

[@marialang7179]

Hallo mein Flughörnchen 🛩 ♥ nice to see you again 😘 😘 😘

[@hamiltonrobert488]

I want a DA42!!! It's so easy to fly!!!

[@antho8070]

Loved the video series, congrats on your first crossing ! I saw at 6:38 that the VLO bug was set for 152 kts or so and got scared when you extended the gear at 180kts. I then looked it up and it seems that VLO for extension is actually 194 kts haha !

[@MickeLang]

Thank you for watching! The 152 is for the emergency gear extension and Vle is 188kt. Reason for the different speeds is that the nose gear extends against the wind so when the system got pressure it's no problem for the extension but in case of an failure and you have to extend it manually it actually "falls" out and to get it into the "locked" (in a diamond it does not really lock, the hinge goes over a certain angle that it would not collapse in case of no pressure) it has to do that by gravity and therefore a lower speed is required making sure it goes over that one point. Hope this is understandable haha

[@antho8070]

@@MickeLang oh alright I get it ! I fly a Socata TB20 and we have a similar limitation which is 97kt for a gravity emergency extension ! The nose wheel also extends against the wind so we need to decrease the aerodynamic forces (via a speed reduction) so that it can go all the way and be locked by the mechanical spring system. Thanks for taking the time to explain ;)

[@MickeLang]

@@antho8070 No Problem :)

[@charlesgivens9916]

This is fascinating. I have my pilots license, but having flown since 2001. I am jealous....I love flying, just life got in the way and money.

[@MickeLang]

Never too late to come back☝🏼

[@traceydeakin6055]

Boom - Congrats - whats next?

[@MickeLang]

Thanks Tracey! :) Wait and see ;)

[@ramothepharaoh3]

Hello Micke, I really like your videos. I just had a few questions if you don’t mind. I live in the US and am planning to get a private pilots license. I have been playing flight simulators for a long time so I am interested in it. I find it amazing how you can do long flights through different countries like this. If I wanted to do this, would the most affordable option be something like the DA62? I was looking up some information and seems like annual cost of owning DA62 is $130,000, is that accurate? I’m interested in getting a pilot license to be able to do long flights like you so I just want to see if it would be worth it. Also another question, what do you do on long flights, are you allowed to use your phone or something to keep you occupied? Also, does the plane have a bathroom? Would appreciate any information you could share with me about beginning this journey. Thank you

[@FallLineJP]

“LaGrande Radio, Roger?” “Roger, Roger”

[@MickeLang]

😂😂👌🏼

[@SuperJonphil]

Great Series, I have a question why not use t/o flaps? Thanks, Micke

[@MickeLang]

Thanks! The DA42 does not need/have flaps for take off. The flaps are described as "flaps approach" and "flaps landing" compared to the DA40, DA50 and DA62 which have the "flaps take off" position. But for short field take offs in the DA42 "flaps approach" are used. Why it is like that, I would have to ask our engineers ;)

[@marclandreville6367]

QHN is the same as Altimeter Setting in usage.

[@MS-ji6oj]

Interesting plane! I heard it uses 30% less fuel to run its two engines as compared to Cirrus SR22 with one engine. Hope it is in mid-range affordability range as well.

[@MickeLang]

12 GAL/h with ~170 TAS, I talk about that in the latest video☝🏼👍🏼

[@MegaKiller1234567891]

QNH means local altimeter setting I don’t think that com was wrong. They just tend to say altimeter setting in North America

[@MickeLang]

Actually true, just did not want to make the north American‘s angry😜

[@GaryMCurran]

One of the other main differences is that QNH is given in hectopascals versus inches of mercury. They obviously equate to the same thing, but if someone says QNH, you shouldn't expect to get something like 29.92.

[@userDFboeing]

@@GaryMCurran well qnh can be either in hpa or inhg it’s the same thing so inch of mercury is a qnh as well

[@dentrativo3409]

Gratuliere....bin mir sicher, es gibt keinen besseren Job!!

[@MickeLang]

Alles hat seine positiven und negativen Seiten aber ich muss echt sagen, dass die positiven mehr sind :) Danke fürs Ansehen!

[@johanneshuber8251]

What do you prefer more, Bose A20 or Proflight S2

[@MickeLang]

Depends on the aircraft in which I am flying in 😜

[@jasperye4663]

Hey Micke, what do you use to mount your Ipad to the window?

[@MickeLang]

Hi Jasper, either the RAM suction mount or the installed ball on the canopy. The ball on the canopy is an option and not everyone is choosing this one.

[@gerhardhummer6825]

👍

[@userDFboeing]

But why u took off in clean config ?cuz long runway?

[@MickeLang]

The DA42 does not need/have flaps for take off. The flaps are described as "flaps approach" and "flaps landing" compared to the DA40, DA50 and DA62 which have the "flaps take off" position. But for short field take offs in the DA42 "flaps approach" are used. Why it is like that, I would have to ask our engineers ;)

[@LesOReilly]

Give me that Long Landing!!! Hahah... The Snowbirds were also there..... just saying....

[@MickeLang]

I know but to be honest I did not know them until then so this is why I kind of forgot about them :)

[@LesOReilly]

@@MickeLang it's all good :) I was just poking fun... they fly little side by side trainers called Tudors... While the Blue Angles fly some real jets :)...

[@Edmonchuck]

SO awesome. I know the producer of that airhsow, and I produce one myself. I would love to have you as a guest. Bring a diamond. CZVL

[@MickeLang]

That would be cool!☺️

[@Edmonchuck]

@@MickeLang Well, let's make it happen! 😊

[@rpbajb]

180 knots to 90 knots in one mile. Wow.

[@MickeLang]

Only in the Diamond🤘🏼

[@fsudave87]

New to aviation here. Is it common for there to be so many American air traffic controllers in Europe? Or at least most of them sounded like they had American accents...

[@MickeLang]

Hi Dave, in this Video I only flew in Canadian airspace so that’s why☺️

[@BlackPanther-DC10]

Respekt, wünsche dir immer drei grüne...............

[@MickeLang]

Danke☺️

[@FallLineJP]

How tall are you? It doesn’t look like there’s much room for youre knees in the DA42 🤓😅

[@MickeLang]

I am 1.93 meters. I actually fit pretty good and the 42 is my favorite☺️

[@FallLineJP]

@@MickeLang Thanks for the reply! Wow that's pretty impressive then. At 1.81 I'll be just fine :) Interesting you say the 42 is your favorite. After watching a bunch of videos with the different models, I realized that although the 62 is probably roomier, that uninterrupted bubble screen on the front of the 42 probably gives you spectacular forward visibility and views. Hope I can get a 42 one day to fly the family around. Love all the videos, thanks for sharing!

[@robb0912]

Good video but I think I got a little airsick watching the constant camera switching.

[@cipmars]

Congratulations. Respect, man!

[@MickeLang]

Thank you !
