Hi guys! Have you ever been to the Caribbean 🏖 ? If so, which island did you like most? Let me know if you'd like to see similar videos with ATC coverage, curious to hear if you would prefer that over music 😏 Have a great day!😘

I’ve been to the ABC islands and to SXM. I made lots of videos and photos of planes landing at Maho beach. And because I shared the landing video of the KLM crew who were to bring me home, I got extra services during my flight back home. I could get into the cockpit (that’s where my profile picture is from) and got extra drinks and a business class kit. The Dutch Caribbean are such amazing places. My favourite is Bonaire because of the rich variety of diving spots!

@@DutchPilotGirl Very effective, professional use of your text widgets and callouts! Yes, the ATC would be good to hear, and perhaps callouts in the cockpit but I think you should keep the text displays, your sense of timing in terms of duration to read is very good. In general, I think it is wise to differentiate between cockpit videos and flight view videos. They both have their place but trying to do too much in one format makes the editing very challenging, and there is a risk of overwhelming certain viewers, especially on a short (beautiful) flight like this. This was really a pleasant experience. Thanks SO much! You are an excellent pilot, and great communicator.

You inspired me to go for what I wanted from your first videos to your interview with Mentour and beyond, to just seeing how much more confident on video and speaking English your are now compared to when you started. Your 100K subscriber video you mention you hoped to inspire others to go for their hopes and dreams.

Someone might clear up my confusion. Altitude is in feet, speed in knots, but then we get metrics. Why the mixture. Can't altitude be in meters? I understand (sort of) nautical miles, though that also could be in kilometers. Wonder if anyone ever proposed one system and the global industry just wasn't receptive. I totally understand "one language everywhere". No room whatever for misunderstanding in emergencies.

One of the smoothest landings I have seen. I literally could not tell when you touched down. Kudos. Great videos. Highly informative, a lot of work has gone into them. We spent a day on Aruba about 20 years ago, came on cruise ship, drove with a couple we met on the ship around the entire perimeter of the island. Lovely island. We also spent a day on St. Lucia, swam on lovely beach, also Curaco, Grenada. One of my favorite pictures was in market on Granada, school kids coming from school, gawking at my wife, who is six feet tall.

Michelle, your video editing skills are phenomenal and this video was fantastic!!! I still remember my first flight aboard a Boeing 787 Dreamliner. It was 4 years on Virgin Atlantic's B787-9, G-VBOW, also known as the "Pearly Queen." I had a window seat and was blown away at how high the wing tip is!

It's interesting that in this day and age when, in the world of science and technology where conformity to the SI system is regarded as the way forward, aviation can still bounce around from miles to feet to kilometres to metres to nautical miles. I'm guessing that is largely down to the internationalism of aviation, and the fact that not everywhere employs the metric system. Great to have your traditional piece of music for the final approach. I find these approach and landing videos very soothing - I'm guessing you're not quite so relaxed in the pilot seat.

Lived in Bonaire and spent lots of time in Aruba and Curacao as well. I recall in December of '87 or '88 working for a company in Bonaire. Among our businesses was managing the oil and gas facilities of a Curacao company's Bonaire operations. This included supplying jet fuel to the airport. All went well for years until a Middle East sheikh showed up in December with his 737. The plane took off almost every day because the wives and kids needed to visit various locations near and far. Suddenly our jet fuel supply started reaching critically low levels and we had to arrange to have supplies brought in from Curacao ahead of schedule. If not there would have been a disaster at the airport.

Wow! Everything about this video is beautiful! I haven't seen your videos in a while and I have to say you have improved a lot. Now you talk better English and you seem more confident. Also, you fly the 787? That's a beautiful ✈ flown by a beautiful pilot in the beautiful Caribbean. Love it!
