Join us on this first circumnavigation of Iceland in AutoGyro's. This is a true aviation adventure and the gyroplane is the only type of aircraft that can do this kind of adventure travel.. Watch in HD and enjoy!
Amazing how accommodating the Ferry & Police were. It looked great from here but obviously not a patch on actually being there, we can see it in your expressions. Thanks for sharing.
Yes, Iceland is a magnificent country, and I think it was the only one to imprison the Banksters instead of bailing them out with tax-payers' money! Thank You AutoGyro Nordic for sharing your adventure with us for free! And no ads too! I'm very impressed, and I was very glad to be the first to take your Thumbs Up to 1K.
I was stationed in Keflavik from 1970 to 1973 with COMFAIRKEF primarily to detect and track Soviet submarines transiting around the North Cape and into the Atlantic on their patrols. My wife and I had our first daughter there in 1972. She has dual US/Icelandic citizenship. We can't even read her Icelandic birth certificate. :) It is really a beautiful country in many ways. Icelanders were very friendly to the US forces stationed there at that time.
Gentlemen, as I viewed this many ears ago, It popped back up on my likes (sure glad it did). I kind of remember the first time I watched this video, and the feelings that I felt just enjoying the magnificent beauty and grandeur of that incredible part of the world. We all look for words to describe such beauty, but as I mentioned earlier - I still can't find the right words? Simply Fantastic!!!
That was really cool. My god that country has more rain than England but those gyrocopters seemed to be able to cope with it. There were smiles all the way so it must have been great fun. I'd love to do it.
I have become fascinated by these machines. I am praying that one day I will be able to afford to have one and fly it. For now I have no learners or professional licence. Dreams can become reality. I told my colleagues at work that one day I come to work flying it. I love those machines. Thanks for the videos.
Wow. Absolutely fabulous. I'm soooo envious, lol. I though the police were very helpful.. what a nice gesture to escort you and then watch you fly right of the road.. amazing. Iceland looks lovely.. but bleak !! I must admit, I was a little white knuckled as you crossed the glacier.. all those deep cracks.. not exactly a good emergency landing site. Keep them coming, I loved this one. what a life.
Absolutely fabulous! My mind exploded from landing and boarding the ferry, a elegance way to explore the beauty of nature! Thanks for sharing , enjoyed a lot!
Absolutely stunning scenery, and awesome flying! Had an introduction flight on a gyrocopter a few months back, and definitely will return to it once I finish my PPL(H)!
Wow, whilst I was n't there... I sort of was...Thanks for the great impression. Gyro-planes absolutely rock. They would be my choice if I wanted to fly privately. The safeness of the concept attracts me, as does the relative low take-off and landing speed.
I love the way it drives onto the ferry just like any car. Sehr cool video. I was lucky enough to travel Iceland in September 2015, and Lake Myvatn was the first place-name I recognised, and when you showed that first ash-crater I recognised it as the one I walked up and circumnavigated its rim!
Just beautiful flying ! great camera work. Amazing scenery ! Loved the landing/T.O at the ferry. Would have loved to see you guys take back off in Germany. That is an amazing adventure
Amazingly Beautiful.... My dream is to fly like this and have such an adventure.... Thank You for documenting such a profound journey. Enjoyed this immensely.
Yeah those glaciers were amazing. So cool to see them from the air like this. Very appropriate music too, reminds me of in-between instrumental music from Genesis' "Selling England By The Pound" and "Lamb Lies Down On Broadway" albums.
This is one of the best videos about Iceland I have ever seen. Besides your gyro adventure was wonderful. I will give a try for a demo in a gyro flight. Thank you a lot for sharing. Best Regards
Yes, the scenery is amazing. I think a lot of it is due to the lack of large trees, so the various mountains and mesas stand out in all their naked glory. I love the way they can drive along the road and motor into a gas station, and all they need is 95 Octane. (I was very lucky with the weather there in the latter half of September 2015 -- not much rain at all. Never really cold, except Aurora Borealis watching the first night on a high mesa just West of Reykjavik.)
Amazing! Currently on the way to my PPL(A) and this video totally sold me on gyros! I rode around Iceland on a motorbike in 2016 but it is so breathtaking to see the country from the air! I also immediatly recognised Hirtshals in Denmark. Hats off to you guys! Where did you land in Seydisfordur?
Great video. I've flown business jets and turboprops in Iceland, which is incredible, but I like this view better. Tigre and I are finishing up our gyroplane rating here in the United States now.
Aloha🌸! WOW! Beautiful Flight in a Beautiful place on Earth🌎! Do you enjoy Flying the Autogyro Cavalon/Calidus? Thank you kindly for Sharing this Awesome Flight👍! Namaste🙏!
Cool - very cool indeed guys! Loved the ferry driving. Did you have to arrange that specially first? I'm picking mine up from Texas next month and flying it back to California - really looking forward to it, but I don't think the scenery will be quite the same. Thx for posting
4:50 - 4:55 in -- that's Dettifoss, the largest falls in Europe by volume of water falling per second. Nice to see from the air, but you really only appreciate its size and wildness standing close to the falls from the top of the drop (I've got a few photos of it). Also, the downstream canyon is much bigger than it looks from the air, but it's cool to see it again from this different perspective.
Excellent vid.. I'm jealous, I want a cavalon! I've already got a few modifications in mind. Very well thought out machines. As the spaniards might put it, "coño!"
Awesome adventure...amazing scenery...were you concerned where you would put down the aircraft if you lost an engine? Some of the terrain looked rather harsh for emergency landing...I love how you were able to drive on the streets to get gas and take off on their roadway. The aerial footage was incredible...I'm sure Auto-Gyro would love to get some of your HD videos...great job!
single engine flight over rough terrain is always a risk. The stopping distance of a gyro is only about 30 feet honestly so they could pretty much land wherever they want with minimal risk, even if it meant on sharp jagged rocks or the water.
I have never flown a gyroplane, even if my cousin was the official test driver of Bensen in Europe in the 70s. Bensen built marine gyroplanes that flew towed by a speedboat.
"Yes, we want to land some aircraft in your car park, so if you could keep it completely empty, that would be good." I wonder how that conversation went at first.
