Описание к видео MSFS2020 Go around and landing at Reykjavík (BIRK) Airport

A recording of my go-around and landing at Reykjavik Airport in windy conditions. I hope you'll enjoy this scenic approach to RWY19 as much as I did.
Reykjavik is the capital of Iceland and the largest city in Iceland. The population of the city is just shy of 150 000 but the whole region around Reykjavik counts around 250 000 people. It is the most northern capital of a sovereign country in the world.
Reykjavik is relatively new capital, being founded towards end of XVIII century as a trading post, later transformed into blooming city, a centre for culture, art and Iceland's economy. It is considered one of the safest and greenest cities in the world.
The most important part of Reykjavik's economy, surprisingly, was not fishery but wool. Wool industry was the very reason for which the city was founded. Fishery and trade joined in decades later. Today financial and IT sectors are considered to be significant employers in the city.
The airport which I'm landing at today (BIRK) was constructed during World War II by British which happened during time, when allied troops stationed in Iceland (a period regarded to by Icelanders as occupation of Iceland by British). In the mean time, American troops constructed Keflavik Airport (Iceland's main international airport). Both of these airports are still open to traffic and both see regular and charter flights, although Keflavik hosts most of international flights, with Reykjavik seeing international (kind of) flights to Greenland. Atlantic Airways of Faroe Islands used to operate to Reykjavik when they were operating BAe146 aircrafts but these flights have moved to Keflavik now (Atlantic Airways now operates a fleet of Airbus aircrafts).
