A DC6 doesn't exactly operate up in the flight levels so the view was great...The captain even let the passengers visit the flight deck one at a time.....so you know it was a long time ago

    Enjoy your kitfox.....just about the perfect aircraft for enjoying the beautiful scenery you have available.

    DC 6, it is long time I saw one flying in here. I'm working at the KEF airport (BIKF). But our ultralight airport is only 8 kilometers (about 5 miles) from the international airport. Our airstrip has the name Sletta http://skyvector.com/?ll=63.985,-22....art=301&zoom=3

    Welcome to the forum...Great Looking KF! And a hangar to boot! Super. I spent a few days in Kef and Rek in October of '13. Flying an King Air 200 through and had to wait for winds to die down. Didn't want to get stuck in Sonderstrom, Greenland. Great food and great people! Drove down to some beautiful waterfalls (and many other gorgeous sites) on the way to Vik, helped rescue a 17 yr old kid who fell asleep at the wheel and flipped his car OVER a river. Hope to get another chance to visit. We stayed at the Grand, but would love to have some recommendations for a Honeymoon Vacation, 20 years overdue! Planning to bring the wife of course! Again...welcome to the Forum!
    For your overdue honeymoon I would recommend Hotel Rangá (one of the Icelandair Hotels). it is nice countryside hotel with great view up to the mountains and to Eyjafjallajökull. (The one that closed all air traffic in Europe in 2010)

    Isn't it fun, the Kitfox 2 Step! With a little Do Si Do (a square dancing term). I can see your face now. On take off , on Downwind , on base , on final , on landing once you realize it wasn't a good landing . Have fun, fly safe, and keep practicing the two step.
