Abandoning The Expedition To Beat The Stormy Weather | Part 5

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Join me, Glen, a private pilot and occasional KZread cook, as I embark on an epic cross-country flight in my resto-modded 1961 Cessna 172B. In Part 5 of our series, I make the tough decision to abandon the Hope Air Expedition and fly west to dodge impending storms and low visibility.
We start our journey from Moncton Airport on a foggy Wednesday morning, facing low IFR conditions that are just about to clear. Watch as I navigate the challenges of weather, discuss the strategic split of our group of 16 aircraft, and head towards Oshawa to wait out the storm. This leg of the journey takes us from Moncton to Sherbrooke, Quebec, where I refuel and perform a critical weather briefing.
This series is not just about flying; it’s about raising awareness and funds for Hope Air, a charity providing free flights and accommodations to Canadians needing to travel for medical appointments far from home. Throughout this video, I share the unique experiences of flying patients, the emotional impact, and the importance of Hope Air’s mission.

    Good call, Glen. I'd rather sit on the ground with a cautious pilot than be in the air with a risk taker. 👍

    Glen - welcome to New Brunswick - Moncton area - weather. Where it might be foggy in Moncton, but ten minutes away, sunny and clear, or torrential rain. I've flown a lot over the years out of Moncton; always loved it and miss seeing that ground-view of landing and taking off. Thanks for the nostalgia! My brother was a pilot - got his glider and power through Air Cadets - and I wish he'd kept up with flying. I think he would be good for something like this (Maybe I'll suggest it to him anyway to donate or something). I hope you liked/loved your visit East and hope you come again.

    Safety First. I learned that the hard way when I was 21. DON'T TAKE DUMB RISKS. Caution is important. I support any moment you take to be safe.

    You seem to have very modern controls in that 1961 aircraft (ie: color displays with touch screen capabiltiies). Would love to know what's still original and what's been updated in there!

    He has a build series on this channel for this aircraft. Quite the upgrade from where it started!

    The only original instrument is the clock and the backup alcohol compass - everything else is new. If you go back to the start of the channel a couple of years ago you can watch the entire transformation.

    Are you IFR qualified? I thought you only had VFR qualification! Getting VFR is awesome.

    VFR only - so is the aircraft, VFR only, until I can afford to add the final component to upgrade MVU to IFR capable.

    In an Actual Air Flight? You can't always Wait Storms Out, can you? IF it's a True Run, aren't Patients on Schedules?

    You are correct - in an actual patient scenario IFR pilots would step in to take the patient.
