  • Trying to find a way to Austria, I catch a ride in a Cessna 210 for a two week trip across the North Atlantic. We fly to remote northern Canada to prepare to cross to Greenland and encounter icing, autopilot issues, plumbing problems, magnetic deviation, and find ourselves north of the Wall.

    I'm an old lady, and a student pilot. Most inspiring. I'm retiring next year and going around the world for ten years or so. I hope to fly chunks of it. Little chunks. One remote spot to another remote spot. Preferably remote spots with beaches so I can work on my tan.

    I delivered 92 aircraft overseas during the 1980s, 2/3rds of them singles. Carried the survival suit but only wore it once when the heater failed on the way to the Azores in winter in a Baron. Flying in the suit is a miserable way to live. Always just carried a 2 quart large mouth bottle with a half bar of motel soap for a urinal. Didn't get Loran until 1985 and GPS in 1989. Tanked most of them myself. Longest leg was 20.5 hours in a Cessna 182 from Majuro to Brisbane. Good times! Have fun.

      We need small planes that are dramatically more optimized so they don't cessna their way around (michael j fox in a swimming pool). We need the 400km/h class of inexpensive planes. It's very doable. 400 means you can do serious legs and still arrive before airliners.

    I flew basically the same route delivering a new PA-18 SuperCub from Colorado to Innstahl Austria in 1983. A little less avionics, single VOR and ADF, half the cruising speed of the 210. 38 gallon ferry tank in the back seat. No night or IFR flying.

    Great edit Matt. In defence of Louis, he was actually trying to sort out a bloodied nose that he'd given himself whilst getting the suit on!

  • @CoastalAutoReactionCAR

    You guys are nuts! I LOVE IT! Keep it up! From on CZcamsr to another great job!

    I learned a wonderful new term while reading the comments for this video: "Wook"
    Dunno how I missed ever hearing that one.

    Thats a cool edit Matt. I remember having to take a leak at 10500 somewhere between Joburg and Cape Town once.. Stagefright comes to mind.

    It makes me happy to see more planes with personalized art on them. Still designing my nose and tail art.

    I don't know why that ending with Boney M made me smile, but it did. Gosh, I must be old or something...
    Nice video Matt.

    I got to tell you boys watching what you were choosing for snacking on just made me smile and shake my head!
    You guys keep choosing nuts and dried fruit all the kinds of stuff that would make you need to go crap at the drop of a hat and it 12,000 above MSL!
    I got a commend you on your choice of aircraft, but for that Atlantic leg I would have definitely preferred a Charlie 337 D or F model, having an extra engine over the Atlantic Waters which are so cold, would have definitely given me an Ace in the Hole that I would love to have had, especially after seeing the icing on the wings!

    Interesting.. these guys are good pilots, and work well together. Good tactics in the ice,better attitude than I would ever have with the frustrations.. having gone around the world once solo probably helps in that regard.. just a little bit !

    Hey Matt, that was cool mate thanks for sharing...! Funny watching you take a pee in the immersion suit - that's why I invested in the "personal plumbing" when we flew to Aus ;)

    In 2000, Arthur Hussey and I (an ex-Navy tailhooker) flew his Cessna 182 from Windhoek, Namibia to Fairbanks, Alaska. Using a satphone, digital camera, and laptop, I filed daily reports to The Christian Science Monitor. Thunderstorms, wing icing, and guys with AK-47s were among our adventures.

      @@jdsnowboy Chuck Yeager is the exception. The phrase mostly pertains to weather events though. For instance, a bold pilot would try to beat a storm on takeoff instead of waiting for the storm to clear.
