Flight today from Nuuk Greenland to Reykjavik Iceland
Had to remove a lot of ice before having line crews spray de-icing fluids 5 minutes before departure. We made the flight from Nuuk to Reykjavik in a little over 2 hours. Our ground speed was 415 Kts – we had tail wind of almost 100 Kts while crossing the North Atlantic.

Our trip to Europe this summer was amazing with many stops through Canada, Greenland, Iceland and Europe. We have flown in excess of 10,950 nautical miles (12,600 statute miles) for a total of approximately 40 flight hours. Our favorite place — the USA and of course Fredericksburg, Texas.
