Boston to France in 5 hours in a Beechcraft A36 Bonanza (Part 1) 

in 20 Years time will change and you could be in France in less than an hour, but for sure in 40 years.

@@bnosrati That's such a 1960s thing to say ;)

Spending anytime, out of a day, even just talking.

Fritz Von it doesn’t matter how busy you are or how wealthy. You make time for what’s important.

Don't remember those consistent times, with my dad !

And a 💩ton of money.

Anthony Melvin u don’t need to be rich to own a plane.

@@joeboi1342 Do you know much it costs to learn how to fly? How much aviation fuel is? How much it costs to charter such a flight? Let me know those costs and the price of that plane. The price of the plane alone is almost $1,000,000. So, shoosh your mouth. What's your definition of rich, anyways? You act like we all can just shell out that money and do exactly what he did.

Anthony Melvin first off who says They bought that for a million could have been used. Also you can rent or buy a much cheaper plane you can work a job to make money for flight school. As a kid-college student you can still make enough money it’s really not hard. I hate this stereotype type that you have to be rich to fly.

@@joeboi1342 You find out how much this specific trip cost and get back with me. I said "they" have a shit load of money. Stereotypes? Geez.

I had a wonderful dad too. He just didn't have the money to buy a plane.

Arturo Canales My point exactly. Same here.

Hi- Congrats on school! Where are you at in your flight training?

@@rumrnr78 Thanks💕 It's the new love of my life for sure. I did my two supervised solos and one local unsupervised solo and winds and weather permitting I'll do a cross country solo this week and then finish prepping for my checkride for my PPL. Going 0 to hero though.

Victory IsMine Nice! Are you in a professional program? Where are you planning your first solo cross country to? McAlester was my first solo cross country and took a tour of the Flight Service Station. Sadly, I read that it closed.

@@rumrnr78 yes. I am. I'm going planning to go to Paris TX

@@victoryismine2926 Awesome! I have to renew my CFII this Summer at American Flyers

Lol.

@@arcticwanderer2109 🤔

@@DrummerDelight Pierre et Miquelon is not in France but part of France. I was just giggling at the technicality of the term. It is correct either way.

Same

You can’t pick your parents.. the spectrum is huge .. wishing past reality is pointless.... make due with your situation and don’t let a perceived lack change your trajectory....you can achieve whatever you want ....your story doesn’t require a perfect scenario....

@@normanharris7333 Well said👍🙏

Now THAT sounds epic!

I think you can drive to Morocco fairly safely. Take the ferry to France. Drive down to Spain. Get the ferry to Morocco. It's fairly safe over there. I would probably not go to Algeria though. Tunisia is fairly safe.

Never a concern if men!

There are aviation urination receptacles for male and female.

water bottle is my savior sometimes

Unfortunately, we had a problem with the charger for the dash camera that was putting noise into the audio. We couldn’t hear it on the radios but it made the audio recording a mess. We cleaned it up as much as we could. Now we have better hardware!

They're flying to Montreal - the Quebecois think they are more French than Napoleon and Empress Josephine's lovechild. lol

They flew to St. Pierre .. google it. It’s a french island off the coast of Newfoundland

Jin Zhang no St. Pierre. You don’t cross an ocean to get to Montreal

nemo227 P-51 was able to achieve such a high range not only because of the internal tanks and drop tanks, but also due to the efficient, low drag design. It meant the merlin engine could achieve cruising speed with less HP, and subsequently less fuel consumption. The laminar flow wings, the lofted airframe and the Meredith effect radiator all helped.

@@5000mahmud Yes, the P-51 had a lot of good features. Have you ever flown one, or flown in one? I never have but I've taken glider rides and that was very nice.

nemo227 Never, but I would like to. Sadly life in the inner city is not amendable to such hobbies.

@@5000mahmud At my ancient age I can recall living in towns, cities, suburbs, country, and even in a logging camp and it was all before 1951. When you're a kid you go where your parents go. I've been in my house since 1970 . . . but it's right next to an airport. When I'm working in my back yard I can hear the flutter of opening parachutes and I watch those "crazy" people jumping out of perfectly good airplanes. That's thrill enough for me.

The raft has a long tether that you hold when you toss it out. When it reaches the end of it's length, you tug on it to inflate the raft. It's not advisable to tie it off, since it could be dragged down with the plane.

Boston

It’s an issue with the auto stabilization in the Yi 4K Lite camera

I used that phrase for years until an instructor convinced me (when flying a single engine aircraft) to leave the gear down as long as there was enough runway ahead to land in case of an engine failure. NTSB reports are full of lots of mishaps when the gear comes up too early for no real reason.

“No runway available” is used for single engines. “Positive rate” is used for multi engines, because if you lost an engine in a multi, the gear will create drag and reduce lift.

Hi Brad, Your explanation makes perfect sense and I agree. But I don't see your logic applied by YT video makers. Not sure about the real world.

Exactly

Unless they go to St. Pierre or Miquelon.

Lindbergh did in a much less capable plane.

@@timnell207 yeah, now that I think about it more, I realize.

Because it is impossible. A single engine Bonanza can not make that distance. Halfway maybe, with himself.

??? Why would you need a satphone to fly to St Pierre? You have radio contact all the time.

@@ClintEatWood you have radio contact... until you don't. They thought of bringing a raft for a reason. Satphone should be in ditching bag. Besides, they are cheap and can be used for lots of other stuff like camping. I'm from Canada so when you go canoeing in even parts of "middle" Ontario there is no phone coverage. You should strive to stack the odds of survival in your favour as much as possible.

@@black_triton9264 What kind of satphone do you use, and what are the approx cost? I always thought they are very expensive, especially the cost for a call...

ClintEatWood I use Thurya. Iridium is also very popular. Prices vary from $400-1800. Call time depends. On a plan it can be as low as $0.15 per min and no plan can be $2 per min. About a decade ago I recall it being $8 per min. Check the coverage where you plan to operate. Some are better in ocean areas, Southern Hemisphere, etc. So for the cost of life, it’s very cheap. I work in overseas security sector so it’s a standard back up for me. Along with batteries. Vehicle tracking by GSM/GPS is also common.

ClintEatWood you can use it for text. Sending your coords at the press of a button. And also hotspot for data/email/internet.

Not france in Europe imposible. 5 hours cant do place in Canada called france

Alex t Negative... It is actually France. France owns a self governing territory an Island off the coast of Quebec nfld and Labrador, near the gulf of the St’ Lawrence. called Pierre et Miquelon. So you will get a France stamp on your passport.

@@trooper744 was thinking 'is it the euro

Alex t Def not the Euro and to be fair, it was a total click bait, and not many people have heard of this island. In regards to currency if that is your question they do use the euro.

@@trooper744 whats the name of the ireland

Probably between $1500-2000 in fuel if I were to guess

@@calebdrake3544 Try closer to $2700 one way.

@@MasterCarguy44-pk2dq Maybe it is...I was taking a stab in the dark...

@@calebdrake3544 of course. I also thought it was a nonstop flt.

@@MasterCarguy44-pk2dq I was also assuming $5/gal for fuel, maybe other places are higher then that...

They went to St. Pierre 🇫🇷. Easy peasy.

@@kaziu312 So in other words, a click bait title.

Well, no. Not really.

@@kaziu312 Ya, really it is.

@@thomastmc Only if you 1) didn't read the PROVIDED description where it says French soil and 2) did not understand that French soil doesnt stop at The Hexagon. Their title wasn't false. They DID go to French soil, got French passport stamps, spent Euros and interacted with French citizens. Why are you the authority to judge that it's clickbait? Because there was no Eiffel Tower?

at least 4 dollars per gal at best 3 dollars per gas at least 500 dollars on fuel

Jonathan Berry Paris, London, Amsterdam from JFK is a 7 hour flight on commercial jet.

eigo bike my last flight was 10 hrs direct from Charlotte to CDG.

Jonathan Berry right, flight time averages from Charlotte to De Gaulle at just under 9 hours. Sadly that direct flight is no longer available.

Quebec is not France, but there is an island off the east coast of Canada that is still French territory, that's where he went

They didn’t. These islands are south west of Newfoundland Canada. It’s a very short flight from Sydney Nova Scotia to get to these French islands.

@Billy McCarthy have you been drinking?

@@socomon69 they flew to an island off of the coast of Canada that is under french rule so technically France.

@@bigjthejoker1306 ok, but I was speaking to the possibility of getting dunked in a very cold ocean. Doesn't really matter who owns what.

We have a Yi Lite action camera on a screw mount to the side of the tip of the vertical stabilizer.

Best range is at cruising speed of around 150kts, but max cruise speed at around 170kts. At a point in the video they mentioned 5500 ft, so probably unpressurised

Eckhard Binding very informative. Thanks!

I think they did customs in Maine

@@patienceisalpha Maube it's a SR-71 masquerading as a little plane.

You don't like your current job......

They have rafts

@@danielszallai5294 lol... rafts.. get a clue.

John Hennessy did you watch part 2? These islands are super close to Canada.

I can't post a map here, but the route was as follows: 6B6 -> KEPM -> CYQY -> LFVM (same return)

Stow, MA - Minuteman Airport (6B6)

Why

@@trilogy3x I barely like commercial aircraft! Haha

@@ictguy455 lol I was just wondering I know some people who ok with flying but only in bigger aircraft I don’t know if you know much about planes but I like the king air they are pretty big two engine prop planes I hope to get one one day but I wouldn’t mind a smaller one to start out with
