I used to wear oxygen masks for hours and hours in our turbo Baron survey flying. Usually 25, 000 feet for 4 to 5 hours. Day after day. Often two flights a day. It dehydrates you quickly. The first beer at the end of the day never even touched the sides. And it was cold up there. So so cold. As usual Stef these videos are awesome. What an adventure!

I like how you dipped the audio when you took your headset off, and then brought it back in when you put your headset back on. Great editing.

I remember riding to East Midlands Airport as a kid with mates during summer school holidays from Beeston. Great memories of growing up in the Midlands

Stef, you're gonna be the reason I go for my IFR rating. Still waiting for you to visit Switzerland. Wishing you many happy landings and thanks for the great aviation content.

I really enjoyed watching this Stef. Different, great locations; awesome weather; changes in ATC accents and the mate ship between you and Philippe. Awesome memories for you.

Looks like your next flight is going from Elstree! That’s where I fly from in my PA28 Archer. Great Aerodrome with pretty short runway. Enjoy! Can’t wait to see the upload. This series was incredible!!! Absolutely loved it! Take care, safe flying! Stephen from Elstree

Wow, Donair Flying Club! That brings back some memories -- I got my RT licence and my night rating with them back in 2004! Must get a CASA licence out here in Sydney some day!

The nice thing about starting to watch a video like this is that I know it's going to turn out ok. :)

Seeing the weather in the UK I would have been tempted to have turned around and gone back to the fantastic weather in Greenland !! Impressive performance from a turbo Cirrus...GS over 200 kts at FL230.
