Flying into Oshkosh is INSANE! | Episode 9
On this episode we head to the biggest aviation event in the world, the Oshkosh #Airventure2023, dodge some thunderstorms along the way and fly the chaotic VFR arrival to Oshkosh to try and make it before they shut down the airport for the evening airshow. On the way back the flight is no less spectacular as we overfly the downtowns of Chicago and Toronto.
In this video series I hope to offer a glimpse into the challenges of preparing and actually flying across the Atlantic ocean, navigating over the remote northern landscapes and vast stretches of water, and experiencing breathtaking views that only a small plane can offer. Join me as I share insights into the planning and execution of this flight, including the joys and challenges faced along the way. Whether you're a seasoned pilot, an aviation enthusiast, or someone who dreams of adventure, this video series offers something for everyone. I hope you enjoy this journey as much as I did.

I hope you got a significant prize for clearly being the one who flew their Cardinal the furthest! All of these videos have been very well done and are certainly inspiring. Great job!
Awesome. I was there in oshkosh. Great time
Great trip. Congratulations for this awesome series. No I’m sure we met each other in Oshkosh at CFO dinner, without knowing ;-) Greetings from Germany
Sooo, I'm thru all your vids and can only say WHOAA 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Top notch use of the cameras, gear, commentaries, yourself, and your flying equipment. I sure can relate to some of the problems you encountered during your NAT crossing (did the same, though extended and "VFR" in my homebuilt in 2022 , YT vids available under RV-6.9i HB-YLL), and love your attitude and positivity. I also appreciate your "style" of flying, mirroring the search of efficiency I'm also after. The Cardinal is a lovely and quite capable aircraft in itself, and yours has one of the best panels around, sweet. Very much looking forward to the next episodes (and more than appreciate the work involved in the editing/publishing of vids 😉).

Thank you so much. I truly appreciate it! I saw your videos, spectacular! especially pulling some aerobatics over icebergs, amazing. Subscribed 🙂👍
An amazing trip! Thanks for sharing it! Traveling from the furthest distance is some achievement!
You should have cleared Canadian customs at Windsor or Sarnia, where they have agents stationed. I've never had to wait, when I clear at an airport with a land crossing close by or international commercial flights. But then in the last 10-15 crossings; I've never actually had a Canadian customs agent come to the plane, they clear me over the phone.

Probably no chance for me getting cleared over the phone since I'm not a Canadian citizen, but yes, lesson learned.
Beautiful views! Happy and safe flying! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Awesome!
I am surprised you didn't land at Toronto City Centre. Very beautiful approach my favorite airport to land in. Glad you got to fly over downtown! also, Oshkosh sounds so intimidating! thank you for sharing all your adventures, very impressive!

I definitely should have done that, looking in hindsight. But I thought Burlington, small airport, no hassle, etc.. lesson learned. And landing at City Center will be on the next episode, so stay tuned 🙂

Oh cool. We did not camp by the plane. It was crazy hot. Maybe next year 😁
$1000 fuel and 2 hrs for customs, glad you’re enjoying the Canadian bureaucracy…..😂

Yeah, I hope they get something going online like the States. All the information is filled online instead of waiting on hold for a long time and then passing all your info letter after letter for 15 or so minutes to the customs officer. Inefficient use of the officer's time.
