Akureyri to Modrudalur - sight seeing and stop over.
Ein traumhafter Flug! Super netter Pilot, der sehr viel weiß und alle Fragen kompetent beantwortet. Wir hatten noch dazu das Glück, bei Bombenwetter fliegen zu dürfen. Auch auf spezielle Wünsche wurde eingegangen. Und dass die Aussicht auf Islands Natur von oben nicht zu toppen ist, muss man nicht extra erwähnen.

It was an outstanding experience. You fly with a Cessna from an international airport into a beautifull landscape. It was really amazing and Hördur is a great and friendly pilot.

Today Hörður flew his beautiful Cessna 180 to a remote landing strip where we received a very welcome reception. His great flying experience in the mountains shows. He can also tell you a lot about Iceland. Would love to fly again.

Akureyri to Modrudalur - sight seeing and stop over.

So haben wir die Westfjorde von oben sehen können, was wunderschön war und haben einen der westlichsten „Landeplätze“ Islands kennenlernen dürfen mit einer spektakulären Landung. Es war ein gelungener Ausfl...

Hörður was most kind and his guiding and presence most enjoyable!

The meetup and the flight went very smoothly and we could really feel his passion and also his priority put in safety and in the comfort of his happy passengers! It is just wonderful how he shares these rides for joy and for allowing us travellers in Iceland to s...
