Cross Canada in the C172 - Video Series

Post by Bruce66 »

Here's the plan! I intend to fly across Canada, West to East, in a used C172. I will be flying VFR in real time and with real weather. I will fly, record and edit when I can but I hope to post one flight per week (on a Tuesday). As I will be using real weather and real life must continue there may be weeks where I can not get a video up - we will see.

I have learned a lot from doing my T-6 GB tour (which is still ongoing as of posting) so it is my hope that I will learn even more by doing this. I find that publishing the video pushes me to improve (because I feel like an instructor is watching!).

So, here is the first installment - I will just keep adding the videos as replies to this post rather than spreading them around as I have with my other videos - scroll to the bottom when there are more to find the most recent episode:

For several boring reasons I have had to switch to Live Streaming.

So here is the next leg of our journey across Canada - Kamloops to Salmon Arm:
