hi Hal, thanks for another astonishingly great video, you show us how it should be done although I wouldn't try it with my 582 kitfox, I bet the paperwork and permissions take some time but you are an inspiration to us all.....keep on flying.

That’s really kind words, thank you michael downes! Funny, spent all day flying a 582 kitfox, would jump at the chance to fly it to Greece! 😬

Aww, that’s very kind and much appreciated.. I own a Skyranger and one of my ex students did a 2000 mile trip up to Norway a couple of years ago!

@@v1flight736 Norway, that has to be fun! We have the idea of following your lead and heading south. The further south the less clothes we need (and the less weight) is the logic. Just need a roof rack for the wife's makeup and we are sorted 😀

Hi there! Just dscovered your channel, I love the long distance travels you do. Why did you stop posting 3 years ago? Happy landings!

Another fabulous video Hal. You're both so brave, I love my CTSW with a passion, but would I have the confidence that my engine wouldn't stop on me above mountains or open water? I'm not so sure, maybe I'm just a scaredy cat and should venture further😊

@v1flight736 4 жыл бұрын

Thank you Steve! In reality there are lots of occasions that an engine failure would result in sweaty palms but in my opinion if your going to fly you have to accept the risks and balance the rewards. Missing out on these incredible experiences is more scary to me then gliding down from a mountain top or splashing down in the ocean! 🦁

Superb video again, we (my wife and me) have been thinking you'd not done it this year, glad to see we were wrong. I first noticed your videos a couple of years ago and it inspired me to take up the sport, I kid you not! We have an intention of following in your footsteps as soon as I pass my GST. You're also probably responsible for the purchase of the new Skyranger (2nd one now), so thanks for the massive hole in my finances :-) A quick question, given that you are travelling for some distance with limited luggage and weight. What do you take with you for this sort of trip and how long did it last? Survival suits? Tents? Oxygen for the alps? Hope to see you in the sky Garry

@v1flight736 4 жыл бұрын

Garry that’s absolutely fantastic to hear and pretty much the most significant reason for us sharing our adventures!! 👌 I’ve spent all day flying a Skyranger and it’s an aircraft that will look after you well and would be capable of retracing all our footsteps when you feel the need to head off on adventures of your own! Take a tent, lightweight sleeping bags, a couple of life jackets, PLB and your all set. For crossings over 40 miles or so consider a survival suit but it will come at a weight penalty and hamper evacuation in case of a ditching. I choose not to use one for this reason.

Hi, just found your channel by chance and have to say I really enjoyed the vid. What an experience to share with us all. When you landed in Massa, was it at Sarzana or Massa Cinquale? My parents live close by so would love to plan a trip there one day in the future once I've got my licence and some experience. Out of interest, how long does it take from your home field to Massa? Thanks again and shall watch your other vids. Regards.

@v1flight736 4 жыл бұрын

Hi Taxi, it was Massa Cinquale, not sure how long it took us but basically it’s a good couple of days, day from England across France, then France to Massa.. three days if you go through the Alps, it needs to be savoured 😉

I watched your 2017 trip in the ct2k, also read the accident report on that plane, sad times. Sorry to hear it. I notice this ctsw is 2008 model, is that correct? I'd like to ask a cheecky question, ball park figure how much should I be looking to pay to buy a similar age/hours ect?

Hello. The video is very inspiring. I have been flying myself for about 12 years, but have not yet crossed the national borders. I find the flights to the Mediterranean very exciting. Do you have any other flights planned? Where do you get all the information for the other countries? Should you ever be looking for a wingman (my wife and me), please feel free to contact me. We would be glad. Greets from Germany. Kai (info@sv-koop.de)
