Day at work flying cargo to the Bahamas in BN2 Islander. Fort Lauderdale to Treasure Cay and back.

[@josemiranda1241]

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!

[@mikemcgibney]

Really enjoyed the video, great flying and a lovely plane! What a cool job you have - thanks for sharing!

[@bobmarino350]

Nice video. The Islander is such a great airplane.

[@johnkerr1953]

A great take off and landing & talk back, l always like this kind of video whare you can hear the pilot talking to the people in the control tower, well done lads - great video very enjoyable.

Used to fly cruise with a little flap extension to bring the nose/attitude down. Little faster too. Well a little less slow. Such an exceptionally clear day with this video. It can get rather nasty on the route frequently. And all the smashing around above the east coast of florida while getting vectors for a 30nm final at one of this congested airports.

I love this plane. Great video explaining what you’re doing. I fly this in MSFS and your video helps me out!

[@arthftw]

play this in msfs too, its great to get some pro take on things :D

[@abstractbybrian]

Fast taxi…interesting to note.

[@Danko05]

Great video...!!!

[@MiniCooper2]

Lovely! Living the dream bro keep it uppp!

[@MarekMarciniak]

Thanks! Will do!

[@hobiegal]

This is my favorite plane in MSFS and I really enjoyed your descriptions of flying it IRL. Subscribed for more of your great videos!

[@mohameddiallo7311]

What a great job 🙂

[@EVELYNEMIL]

Absolutely phenomenal!!.

[@MarekMarciniak]

thanks !!

[@grandepho1]

25 years ago same, but in a 402, and based in FLL…! Thanks for the memories!

[@MarekMarciniak]

You bet!

[@IslandSimPilot]

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

[@frankgallagher5786]

Believe me a 747 is a lot easier, pays better, more time off, and even more fun to fly!

[@IslandSimPilot]

@@frankgallagher5786 Yeah I suppose that's hard to argue with! Love the Islander though. Are you still doing it?

[@frankgallagher5786]

@@IslandSimPilot retired.

[@IslandSimPilot]

@@frankgallagher5786 Nice!

[@eugeneoreilly9356]

Manifold pressure? Didn't know those engines ran a turbocharger?

[@bobmarino350]

No turbo charger. Variable pitch propeller. 17:14

[@bluefunkybassman]

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 :)

[@MarekMarciniak]

23 inches of manifold pressure, 2300 RPM

[@bluefunkybassman]

@@MarekMarciniak thank you so much 😊

[@chrisadish]

​@MarekMarciniak love the bn2 video, as I'm flying that dame bn2 in msfs, same route. What is the rpm and manifold in descent? Any help please, thanks !!

[@mrblaizee]

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]

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

[@abstractbybrian]

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

[@MarekMarciniak]

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

[@tonymarinello4308]

That’s a nice shirt

[@omigo1708]

Marek, are you from Czech republic?

[@MarekMarciniak]

I am from Poland

[@johnnyrocco]

Is that a bird at 10:51 or ufo. I didn't think birds could fly that high.

[@MarekMarciniak]

wow, what the heck was it ?

[@johnnyrocco]

@@MarekMarciniak I'm glad you saw it also. Something was up there flying with you for sure. They don't call it the Bermuda Triangle for nothing you know, lol. Anyway, thanks for posting and sharing your flying life with us.

[@7e21]

@@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.

[@rollonsummertime]

wow, just like msfs, atc is a bit better though🤣
