I like the fact that you do your research on everything Glen. Whether flying or cooking.

Looks like an awesome trip! Can’t wait to see the scenery from the Atlantic Coast! Safe travels!

[DonatFlyingAdventures]

Your comment about the microphone had me in stitches. Looking forward to the trip. Sucks that I’m so busy these next weeks. I would have loved to see you in Quebec city. Have a safe trip.

"I don't want to be on blancolirio"

You're damn right, Glen, I don't want to see you there either. :D

[CameronBales]

You are flying over Meat Cove NS. That’s the most beautiful part I’ve seen in NS. Love it.

[KaliTragus]

I hope the rain showers we're getting in NB haven't messed with you too much!
I hope when you're in Moncton you can see some of the flight college kids. They often fly over Sackville since many of them also go to university (mount allison) here and they like to buzz over town to make noise. I don't mind, they've got lots of hours to do so they should have some fun at least!

[BattlestarCanada]

Love that bare aluminum look! Best of luck on the flight! - Would you be willing to share some of your forestry knowledge with us? That sounds very intriguing!

[WingsOverTO]

Looks like a great trip. I’m gonna have to join you one of these years!

[danielmiddleton]

I'm guessing your journey timeline doesn't intersect with Armed Forces Day on June 19 when the Snowbirds will be performing?
Safe travels and looking forward to the visuals of all the good work you and others do to promote Hope Air.

[ArieGBoom]

Looking forward to learn more about your next coming trip. Safe flying and returns. Will the next one to the North East (arctic) region?

[martinabud]

I will be checking you thru your videos during your trip. If your are going thru CYYY i am around to help. Fly safe

[steven]

I like the basic camera mounts on the inspection panels and easy to replace back to original.

[TPHI]

Great video thanks for sharing. Can’t wait to see the rest.

[joeyhardin]

Looking forward to it. I'm sure there will be some beautiful vistas.

[kazflight]

That's going to be an epic trip! I am curious, after installing the stol kit and wing extensions do you have new best glide numbers? Are you brushing up on any emergency procedures before the big trip?

[GoncherGaming]

Is there a reason you rounded up for the weight of the survival bag but not for the pelican case?

[notsonominal]

Godspeed Glen! Thanks for taking us along for the ride!

[billclisham]

Maybe you could do a flyover of Oak Island while your in the NS area? Sounds like it's going to be quite the adventure and I hope the weather treats you better this year!

[CantankerousDave]

I'm *really* happy to see your contempt for the idiotic "game show host" microphone nonsense that YouTube has been pushing. I've left a lot of channels lately over that and the even dumber "looking at the wrong camera" trend.
