Battling Weather East Coast Flying Adventure Part 4

I know that there will be people that try to estimate the clouds and how close they were... you can't. Especially with this being filmed on GoPros which totally distort distances. The flight here was conducted well within the VFR day rules that govern clouds and visibility.
Join me, Glen, a private pilot and occasional YouTube cook, on a thrilling cross-country expedition in my resto-modded 1961 Cessna 172B. In this series, I fly alongside 16 other aircraft on a couple thousand mile expedition, raising money and awareness for HOPE Air, a charity that provides free flights and accommodations to Canadians in need of healthcare far from home. In Part 4, we kick off our fundraising adventure in Prince Edward Island, enjoying breakfast at a historic local home before flying to Moncton. Experience the challenges and beauty of VFR flight across Canada's stunning East Coast and meet the dedicated volunteer pilots of HOPE Air. Subscribe and hit the bell for more flight adventures!

Crossing Algonquin Park is Ontario's version of the PEI Straight (LOL)

I'm sorry, Glen. I have a curse. Whenever I take time off to fly, the weather gets terrible. I'm taking the summer off, so I may have ruined the flying season for everyone 😅.

I'm loving the skyward tail cam!

[flyfloat]

Of course you had to fly into Moncton (where I did my CPL/IFR) a month after I move away!
This is a flight I did both way many times in a DA20 during my nights of time-building in between these bad days that are very typical of the area.

I was the viewer who said hello to you at the breakfast rally, and I'm glad you enjoyed your time in Charlottetown, it's truly a beautiful city. Thanks for visiting PEI, and I hope you get to come back sometime!

[robgagnon]

Weather is always a factor in flying. Thanks for sharing.

I knew from looking at FlightAware that things didn't quite go according to plan, but it was still enjoyable to get the details straight from you. One thing that struck me as a bit odd was that you referred to C-FMVU as "it". I grew up around way more boats than airplanes (the latter being … honestly … none) and our vessels were always "she". Although, if a female boat captain referred to her ride as "he" I don't think we would have had any particular problem with that. Was I misled by watching too much Star Trek where almost everything about "flying" was modeled after "sailing"?

I miss flying in small aircraft. Be safe & have fun.

[cathpeterson]

I luv PEI, favourites are Avonlea Village in New Glasgow, visit places from Anne of Green Gables, Emily of New Moon

Living in Sackville - half hour out of Moncton - I spent the trip you made from Charlottetown to Moncton staring at the ground trying to figure out your flight path. :D

Sadly, the weather you had was... near typical lately. Or it's unbearably hot.

Hope you enjoyed Moncton, Glen!

[christophercole]

The local university has a culinary program. There restaurant is excellent and great training for the students.

[rubengillette]

Love the tail camrea. It's fricken awesome. Do helicopter di hope air also?

[DownSpriggLane]

I do have a question. What are VFR and IFR? I do not fly so I am not familiar with most of the terms. Love both of your channels!

[blakegardner]

I like to fly the same route you fly in flight simulator 2020.

[boeyone]

There is a chef from Prince Edward Island I used to really like on tv. Have you ever seen him? I think he still has a restaurant there

[oreally]

Pilots doing work for The Lord. Hope Air! ❤

[nickcentrone]

It's that cold over there? It blistering hot here in yyz.

[RandomTorok]

Engiine out over the bridge, would you/could you try and land on the bridge?

[swiftadventurer]

wondering... is the bridge roadway an option for putting it down with an engine failure instead of glitching it in the water?

[rabidsamfan]

My bank won’t let me donate with my card outside the US. Is there an address I can send a physical check.

[MrNatWhilk]

In the intro you mention that the trip is a couple thousand miles, and I’m curious: do Canadians of a certain age still think Imperial, or were you just being courteous to metric challenged American viewers?
