no I haven't flown the Islands for years.
But still they have a place in my heart both the good CAVOK days with 60K + vis
And the utter vial days when your control runs are creaking and flying the approach is like an extended full and free check.
But I loved every minute flying over there. They people are great and as you say the flying is interesting and challenging.
To be honest its a huge testament to the skill and professionalism of the Logan Air pilots and others that operate there day in day out that incidents like this are so rare.
