Thank goodness that weather blew away, the flight was quite reasonable, the ferry was even better at just £2.75. I love the downhill stretches when I 'm on my bike. Who needs to go abroad when there are beaches like that on your doorstep.

[@Robbie1949]

The smallest Aircraft I flew is was a Cessna 150 when learning to get my private pilots licence. It was an expensive process so I had joined the RAAF in 1972 as an electronics tech aiming for an engineering degree. I was going to continue in the RAAF but with one thing and another I gave it up to concentrate on my profession of choice.

Really enjoying seeing places in Scotland I have never visited. When you asked about the smallest aircraft I guess like many older people like me who were in the Air Training Corps during the 60's and 70's it would be the 2 seat Chipmunk trainer. The Battle of Britain Memorial Flight at RAF Coningsby still use one to train the pilots who will be flying the BBMF Spitfires and Hurricane.

[@ericrabinowitz6390]

Ruth, If you enjoyed this flight, check out flying into Barra, in the Outer Hebrides, and landing on the beach! Barra might be too big to depend on your bicycle, but I hear the beaches and camp sites are beautiful. I spend time on Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia. In the 1700s many people emigrated there from Barra. Many of those still speak Gaelic.@@ruthaisling

[@ryudokuroma8184]

The design of the small airplane is very simple and functional, and the color pattern is beautiful with checks and white. There are no planes in Japan that fly such short distances, and I was lucky that I didn't have a round-trip ticket, so I was able to travel both by air and by sea. Scotland has small elevation differences, making it ideal for cycling.

[@ruthaisling]

It was nice to experience both the flight and the ferry. I heard Japan's shortest flight is between Minami-daito and Kita-daito, maybe you should try it sometime! I don't know how long it is though. I've always wanted to visit those two islands, maybe someday!

My smallest aircraft was on a flight to Stornoway that got blown backwards as we neared the Isle of Lewis. As a side note I was working on Shetland and scheduled to be on the last flight on Friday evening which was the first flight of the day that just waited until evening to return but when it landed and they opened the cargo door to unload it the door was blown off. Luckily for me they managed to send another plane to Shetland in time for my escape back to Aberdeen for the weekend. I look forward to your next adventure.

Hi Ruth, great video and you couldn’t have asked for better weather. As always I learnt some new….as didn’t know that the shortest flight in the world was there. Unfortunately I never made it to the Outer Hebrides last week, as I was trapped by landslides either side of Kilmartin. Never the less I enjoyed my time there as there’s so much to see. Maybe you could do a video on the Kilmartin Glen area and the refurbished museum. As the Glen has over 800 historic sites. Enjoy your week and I’ll see you next video on Sunday. 😊x

[@irweasal1]

The smallest plane i ever flew on was a tiny wooden single prop in Kenya. We were flying towards Kilimanjaro and hit a terrible storm the plane bounced about like a cork in water it was truly terrifying.

[@andybrown4284]

Smallest plane I've been in was a cessna carrying pilot and 3 passengers from the deep south of Guyana over the jungle canopy up to Georgetown, with a stop off at Kaietaur falls. Interesting departure from there as heavy weather was coming in and the plane had to take off with a tail wind. I remember going to the gliding centre at Portmoak back when I was at school, first time leaving the ground in any aircraft, great views of kinross-shire around Loch Leven although the strongest memory is the sudden stillness after the tow cable was released.

[@ruthaisling]

Wow, that sounds amazing, what an incredible experience, the views must have been spectacular!

Wonderful video as always. Aren’t the beaches stunning! The water is tempting but we know it isn’t exactly a tropical temp! I have flown in helicopter that just took 2 passengers. I flew to the Aran Islands in Ireland in the early 1990s. I sat beside the pilot which thrilled me. My friend and 2 residents were behind us. Otherwise it was all groceries, mail, newspapers etc. I loved it. My friend hated it and kept her eyes closed.

Haha you are right, it's so deceiving, as soon as you go in the coldness of the water hits like a shock 😅 I've always wanted to visit the Aran Islands, would you recommend it?

[@sandiandgregh]

Absolutely. We were only there a few days and were on Inis Mor. We walked, rented bikes and even went out in a pony and trap. The landscape and views are amazing, and the history is so interesting.

The Islander was built on the Isle or Wight and is the most successful airliner the UK has built, with 1280 of them coming off the production line (some licence built in Romania). Infact production is to restart as there is such a demand for these versatile aircraft. As a comparison the Boeing 747 Jumbo production was finished at 1574 aircraft.

House construction seems to have stayed pretty much the same for 5000 years. If a design works, why change 🙂 Those short plane hops are definitely candidates for getting the first electric passenger planes, powered by local wind generated electricity too.

[@ruthaisling]

That would be very interesting to experience!

[@zapfanzapfan]

@@ruthaisling There are float plane air taxis being converted to electric in British Colombia where flight times might be 10-20 minutes. I think that will become the first passenger flights with electric planes. Orkney would be another fitting location.

[@ianstobie]

There's been a project going on for five years now to convert the type of aircraft you were on, the Britten-Norman Islander, to electric propulsion. This makes sense, because - although venerable, it's a popular, reliable aircraft for short hops and skydiving, so there should be customers for an improved version. Electric engines could potentially bring the benefits of big reductions in noise, running costs, and air pollution. Unfortunately the project seems to be going nowhere, producing mostly press releases. Like many green and worthy efforts it can get distracted by mission drift, adding more and more different goals and project partners, each with their own objectives. I believe it's now switched from batteries as the electric energy source to hydrogen fuel cells. Cranfield Aerospace Solutions seems to be in charge, the programme is called Project Fresson.
