If you haven't guessed - at 6:48 the other RU-vidr I'm talking about is Steve from Flight Chops. His video about the opposite direction aircraft that caused his go-around, is up now: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ojdFJqz-aA8.html
Really enjoying the content. One thing about night rating in Canada though, referencing CAR 421.42, there are specific requirements: An applicant for a night rating shall have acquired in aeroplanes a minimum of 20 hours of pilot flight time which shall include a minimum of: (i) 10 hours of night flight time including a minimum of: (A) 5 hours dual flight time, including 2 hours of cross-country flight time, (B) 5 hours solo flight time, including 10 takeoffs, circuits and landings, and (ii) 10 hours dual instrument time. (iii) Credit for a maximum of five hours of the 10 hours of dual instrument time may be given for instrument ground time, provided that the total instrument time shall be in addition to the 10 hours night flight time in subparagraph (a)(i) above.
As much as I love your content I’m glad you allowed yourself to truly experience Oshkosh and not worry about creating content. Hope to meet up with you there next year. Maybe set up an informal gathering?
The aircraft that show up at Oshkosh is amazing. I grew up in Green Bay to the North. Just far enough that some of the aircraft would fly over the city. You could see everything from WW2 warbirds flying in formation to modern cutting edge military hardware like stealth bomber,. Foreign aircraft, flight demonstration teams, anything was possible.
Like your channel, great content with real life experiences. would like to give you a tip as to care of polished aircraft, after polishing, use baby powder( cornstarch) to remove excess polishing material from the aircraft skin. Makes it really pop!
Thanks for the awesome videos Glen! Pretty sure I know who the RU-vidr was that was coming in as that idiot was landing in the opposite direction. If I'm right, it should be an excellent video. Just out of curiosity, when making initial calls to a new ATC after a handoff, what is the purpose of stating your last departed from airport? The standard call that seems to be widely accepted around the region I fly in has been to state your call sign, current altitude, and final assigned altitude if applicable. Ex; "South Bend Approach, N12345, 3000 climbing 5000." EDIT: Also, thank you SO MUCH for pausing between saying "clear" and actually turning the engine over. It drives me nuts when people yell clear prop and then immediately start it up. The entire point is to warn people that it's getting ready to happen. If you don't give them time to move away from the prop, then what's the point?
@@farmgene Honestly it wouldn’t really take much for that. Had that been thought about back in the 30’s or 40’s, it would probably be standard on all aircraft.
It was great to speak to you at the booth. Another Canadian who enjoys your channel. As I said to you at Oshkosh, you have created a great looking 172. All the best to you and your wife. I look forward to some great flying video’s.
Great video as usual. Appreciate the clarification on night flying in Canada. I've heard Canadian pilots talk about getting a 'night rating', but getting an endorsement makes sense. And is a whole lot easier!
It is a rating in Canada. The requirements are 5 hours dual night (2-hour cross country); 5 hours solo night (10 take-off and landings); 10 hours total instrument time (This includes the IFR hours you already have when doing your PPL). And you have to keep it current if you want to bring passengers with you. Not as easy as in the US unfortunately.
At Oshkosh, I would think with the amount of arrival and published NOTAM book( not a pilot but read anyway, it is brutally specific and clear) there would be severe penalties for screwing it up. Like no comm and landing the wrong way! That’s how people get killed, I wonder with that kind of screw up that pilot would be banned from flying into OSH next time?
I don't know what happened to that pilot, I heard that they were marshalled away and spoken to. But I don't know what actually happened or if there are any penalties.
Not surprised you were exhausted after a week there -- we were exhausted after a single day! Glad you had such a great time and will try to catch you next year to say hello.
Glad you're back safe and sound, Glen! I understand about those "squiggly borders" you flew over. I grew up in a border town, where the International border ran right down the main street in front of our house, and also cut the Opera House in half, along with a residence. Darn those confusing borders! LOL Best wishes to you! Now I need to check in on your cooking channel.
Hi Glen! I’m starting flight school here in Toronto soon and am also a filmmaker so naturally I’m hoping to rig an action camera or two inside or outside of the aircraft when I get to that point - I was curious to know what you use to attach the cameras to the wings and also if you power them through some sort of internal power line from the plane or if you just rely on the battery power of the camera? Thanks!
Because I own the plane - I have a bit more freedom than if you rent. I installed hard mounts to the inspection panels under the wings for the outside cameras. Inside the plane I mounted a couple of the GoPro sticky mounts; I think most rental planes have one or two of those already in the cabin. I power from V-Mount camera bricks, so I never run out of power.
Glad you had such a good time at EAA in beautiful WI. We love watching the plane heading to Oshkosh every year. Frequently they land in Madison on their way. We are fairly close to the airport so we see them coming and going. The big military birds frequently stop here in Madison on their way. Frequently they open the birds up for visiting.
Honestly Glen !!!!!!!!! PLEASE buy some landing gear / wheel fairings for the plane !! it looks bare with out them !!!!! BUT looks some much better with them / you could say complete, !!!!! If you set up a donation link i'm sure a few of us would put in a little cash !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! as we love aviation/ or and the video's thus why we are subscribed !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I flew over Manitoulin Island and then over to Tobermory and the Bruce Peninsula - I edited a video that's the whole trip start to finish just with the wing camera. I'll release that at some point because the scenery is incredible.
Remember to not fall for GetThereitis in the future. I was expecting you to say you got a hotel room or something when you cut to the card saying you were tired. I'm sure you did an assessment and was able to re-energize yourself before you got back in the air, but I feel it's important to reiterate. :) Fly safe friendo.
Love your videos, Glen. I don't know if you're a foodie or camper... but... next year, if you're looking for aspects to cover that nobody is covering well...or at least this person has not seen... Answer stuff like : How is the food at Air Venture? How are all of those people being fed? Just regular camping fare? Are there food trucks? Tailgate parties? Buses into town to restaurants? What is night like in the campgrounds? Enjoy the show for you while it's going, but when the last act is done for the day, fire up the camera and go show the community, explain the difference in rules between camping at a national/provincial park vs an airshow. Stuff like that.
@@GlensHangar My tongue was pressed so hard into my cheek I think it knocked a tooth loose. Seriously though... What I see: You invite an interesting person with more aviation expertise than you to camp for dinner. You ask them aviation questions, they ask you cooking questions. I think if you made that you "special" air venture content it may do very well. I don't know of anything like it and I sure as heck would watch it. Food for thought.
Hi Glen……just wondering why you chose to take the northern route ?? Looks to me like going around Chicago would take you pretty direct to Oshawa via Windsor and quite a bit shorter. Great video, was there myself, amazing place
Welcome home! Glad to hear that you had a good time. Just curious: You mentioned that you might be flying down to AR to see family. Is that something you could feasibly do in the winter to get away from the snow?
My cousins don't use the cabins in the winter because they (as Southerners) find it too cold... But Julie and I think that it's perfect there in the winter. A little crisp, but still very nice.
@@GlensHangar Sounds about right. Like visiting FL over the winter and identifying the Canadians because they're the only ones "crazy" enough to be wearing shorts. 😂 Looking forward to the fly-in camping video. And thanks for the applescotch pie vid. Peak apple time will be here soon.
It's hard to describe - The Dynon equipment is 'IFR' ready, and does 90% of what's needed, but the IFR navigator adds a backup / primary (depending on how you think about it) WAAS GPS, and an extra radio capable of tuning in the navigation frequencies and glideslope. Broad strokes, I'm leaving out a lot of the details, but that's basically it.
Great videos, Glen. I loved the flying portion of them. As far as not filming there. Are tons of Oshkosh videos on RU-vid. Wanting the upgrades in the panels for IFR I assume you either IFR tatted or on your way for that rating. Keep up the safe flying. Question though, did those jackoffs doing the wrong landing get their tails ripped ?,hope so.
Yeah so off the cuff I said a few hours, I was flying a plane and talking. The main point I was trying to address is that You don't have to have an IFR rating to fly at night, and that there is no test: it's just a signature endorsement from an instructor. This isn't an instruction channel - it's entertainment.
@@GlensHangar not sure he does a lot of Michigan lemon litigation writes books and does RU-vid. I like watching your aviation stuff, my dad’s oldest brother had several Small Planes when I was growing up a 172, 185 and other ones before I was born. He was a WWII Veteran.
Not sure but I think the lawyer Steve is the one that I have watched may not fly, don’t know. I do know he likes cars as he has a friend who owns one of those old turbine cars that he gets to drive once and a while.
Not wanting to suck all the air out of the room. I've never been and have mid level PTSD. Are the crashes media hype? It's on my bucket list and not far away but the very, very last thing I need in my life is watching someone.....
@dicksonfranssen There were a couple crashes this year, but after considering the volume of aircraft onsite I'm surprised there weren't more. If the possibility of a crash triggers your PTSD you may want to skip the aerobatics portion of the air show. I personally didn't care for the pyrotechnics as I wasn't expecting it the first time they initiated them and I immediately thought the worst!
@@GlensHangar I've just searched the NTSB database and retract my "extremely rare" statement which I made based on what I remembered reading about over the years. I was aware of two of the incidents I found (not counting this year). The following is a summary list of the fatal incidents I found which occurred during AirVenture (consider skipping this if you'd rather not know, I'll try and have it in the "read more" section): 2017, 1 incident, 2 fatalities, 1 aircraft, seaplane base 2016, 1 incident, 1 fatality, 1 aircraft, Fond du Lac 2014, 1 incident, 1 fatality, 1 aircraft, Oshkosh 2011, 1 incident, 2 fatalities, 1 aircraft, lake winnebago 2008, 1 incident, 2 fatalities, 1 aircraft, Oshkosh 2007, 1 incident, 1 fatality, 2 aircraft, Oshkosh (during the airshow) 2006, 2 incidents, 3 fatalities, 3 aircraft, Oshkosh 2005, 1 incident, 1 fatality, 1 aircraft, 15 miles from Oshkosh (was participating in the airshow) 2001, 2 incidents, 2 fatalities, 2 aircraft, Oshkosh
I don't want to minimize the seriousness of any crash or loss of life; but given that 10,000+ airplanes fly in and out of the airshow each year, the accident rate is pretty darn low on a per-flight basis. There is a LOT of amazing stuff to see and watch at Oshkosh, and you can spend days and days there checking out booths, the EAA Museum, watching forums & participating in workshops - paying no attention to the GA arrivals and departures. No one knows you and your situation better than yourself. But for me, I would be more concerned about how easily you are overwhelmed with big crowds, lots of noise and activity (on the ground as well as overhead; there are constant flyovers of interesting aircraft, military demonstrations, etc). If that level of _constant_ activity around you or above you is going to exacerbate your condition or make you unhappy, then that'd be a bigger dealbreaker IMHO than concern about witnessing an accident.
