Iceland By Air with Flight Instructor @robinfarago

“Ísafjörður airport in Iceland is considered one of the most exciting and difficult landing approaches in the world,” says flight instructor Robin Farago (@robinfarago), who gave up a career in law to pursue his childhood dream of being a pilot and trains students at the Keilir Aviation Academy (@keilir) in Iceland. “You are flying into a very tight fjord on a runway heading directly into a mountain, but it’s really spectacular.”

Robin first fell in love with flying when he had the chance to see the inside of a cockpit as a child. “I remember meeting the captain on Scandinavian airlines and they had candy and you could see the buttons and the amazing views. That was when I decided to become a pilot without knowing it.”

Now Robin’s day to day depends on the weather, taking to the skies with students if it’s clear, or working on lectures and administration if he weather is bad. Flight training in the Iceland’s windy and icy conditions can be challenging, but Robin is rewarded by the breathtaking scenery he sees everyday, from the northern lights in winter to summer’s midnight sun. He took a recent trip to Holuhraun, an active volcano close to the Vatnajökull glacier. “To see the erupting volcano on a close, but safe distance was truly amazing, and now I realize why Iceland is called the country of fire and ice.”
