No, it´s not Danish!!!!! It´s Icelandic. It has been Icelandic since 1944, but before that it was controlled from Danmark to 1874 when we got our constitution and got everything at 1944. In Iceland wheather is very difficult for flying, but we can make it. On the same day we can have snow, rain, windy, still, frost, heat, sunny, cloudy, and just name it! It´s not really cold here as people think, in the winter it never gets colder than 15°celsius and that comes maybe twice over the winter. In the summer it´s not that hot either, it gets most 30° celsius but that´s only one day maybe, normally it´s around 10°-20° in the summer. For flying here is great beacause the country is very beautiful. The worst thing about flying in the winter is that you can never count on the wheather to be the same over the day, so you can only go local and landings. Three weeks ago I went to the other side of the country and flew with airline we have here, they have these Fokker 50 planes, very cool and safe planes, than I noticed how many people are afraid of flying. We got into some turbulances on the way and you should have seen some of the big shots there, they were peeing in their pants. I have heard that Iclandic pilots are good pilots beacause we fly in all conditions of wheater! Maybe that´s bullshit, I don´t know. But I have noticed, some of the letters in this discussionlist, say storys from guys that have difficult in landing in 15knot x-wind, it´s like that every day here and often more! There is nothing wrong with some wind, it´s the damn mountains around, they make all the turbulances, and in strong wind it´s not very wice to fly a coupe here or anyting small. I have much more to say but now I have to go, so you guys should just go to next travelling agency and buy a ticket to Iceland and see for yourself (if you ever come than come in the summer). Fly safe, no stunts on your coupes, Gudmundur.
