Landing at Colonsay Aerodrome
Just in case you haven't noticed it yet, I love videos of Islay, Jura and Colonsay from the air. May be because I haven't had the opportunity yet to experience it myself? Anyway, fitting to the news that Hebridean Air Services is soon to offer Oban and Colonsay to Islay flights I've just come across a fantastic video of a landing on Colonsay:

They had some plain fantastic weather during their flight and landing, assuming I've got my bearings and geography right these are some of things I think I spotted:
- At 0:03 we can see Scalasaig with the ferry pier
- From about 0:05 to 0:08 I think that's Mull with Ben More on the horizon
- From about 0:20 to 0:30 a view over to Oronsay, the round beach on the right is Tràigh nam Bàrc, on the left The Strand where you cross over to Colonsay at low tide
- Immediately after that from 0:31 to about 0:35 a view of Port Lobh with the beach at the end before we look straight down at the runway
- Fabulous view back to the runway and the beach at the end of Port Lobh from 1:00 to 1:15
- At about 2:17 Jura comes into view, from about 2:20 to 2:22 a great view of the Paps of Jura
That's what I spotted, if I missed anything and/or got anything wrong please add/correct it in the comments!
PS: comparably boring, but here's a video of a plane landing at the airstrip: Cessna 182 (G-WIFE) Colonsay Spring 2009. That's a view of a plane, not from the plane.
