A perfect day for a fat tire spin around Mackinac Island. No cooler required.
Noel Rios - indeed - a perfect day for a fat tire spin around Mackinac - no cooler required - just make sure there's hot chocolate at the end! And note the sign: no parking on the pavement... or... ice?!?
Uh, sorry, I`ll pass on that with wind chills in single digits.

I will ne doing this in 2020. One of my three black Friday discount ferry tickets is for coming to the island in the winter.

Look at what we were able to get a sneak peek of today and thought we would share it with you! Great Lakes Air Owner/CEO Dr. Robert Currier and President Brad Shriner shared a sneak peek of Great Lakes Air's newest member of the fleet, the Britten-Norman Islander. Our twin-engine, 9 passenger Britten-Norman Islander is equipped with synthetic vision avionics which provides improved situational awareness to flight crews, and comfort to our passengers. Keep watching our Facebook page for updates!

Looks great. I’m also assuming being a twin engine this will able you to fly more during low ceiling weather vs your single engine planes?
She looks fantastic, can't wait to go for a ride.
That is great! Can’t wait to ride in it!
