First Flight in G-IGET (Skyranger Nynja) | Gloucester to Shobdon

In this video, I’m taking G-IGET — my newly purchased Skyranger Nynja — on its first proper flight, departing Gloucester and heading to Shobdon.

This flight felt like a big milestone. It’s the first time flying G-IGET away from base, putting all the planning, preparation, and familiarity building into practice, and starting the next chapter of flying in an aircraft that I now have a real personal stake in.

If you’re interested in microlight flying, aircraft ownership (or shares), or what it’s actually like taking a new aircraft on its first trip, this video shows the reality — not just the highlights.
