EP165: Michael Smith flew a Searey Flying Boat around the world. Hear his fascinating story with footage from his trip and see the route he took around the world. His story, Voyage Of The Southern Sun, is a gripping tale for all aviators with so many amazing learning experiences for anyone interested in travel or the world of aviation. I hope you enjoy his story as much as I did.
Great meeting you Michael, thanks for sharing your experiences.

So many countries, including Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Israel had no problems with letting a plane fly through and land at thier airports, and only my country (Russia) lives like the cold war is still on, what a shame. I hope one day we can change our contry and make it more hospitable and modern.

@santapm4042 5 лет назад

@George Washigton as long as you are a man from a country where Europeans are immigrated you are good. Because all these citizens can move among those countries without any issue...and other countries with the passport. The people from almost all Asian and African countries don't have that comfort. Even their intentions are good...no way an African / Asian can do this adventure.

@@santapm4042 I currently lives in Japan and Singapore(holding current passport) which both countries' passports give great access to many countries without or little visa issues.

So cool! I once flew a Hughes 300 helicopter from Sweden to England some years ago as a fresch private licence holder. It took me only a couple of days, but it was an adventure I will never forget, and I can only imagine what a ride this must have been around the whole planet! I have huge respect for this guy! Inspiring story and a great channel! Keep up the good work Stefan! // Greetings from a Swedish helicopter driver

Another great video, Stef. I have seen the film a few times now - including a showing at my local aeroclub, where Michael introduced it then answered questions and the end. A very inspiring story indeed. I will never forget the very sobering moment where he lost control in the cloud - trust your instruments!

Great vid and thank you! Michael has long been an inspiration to me - with his cinematic adventures restoring the Sun Theatre and this wonderful circumnavigation. He is such an understated and unsung and worthy hero IMHO - just gets on with it with his modest calmness. I remember when I thought I'd had an epic adventure when I first flew from Bankstown to Camden and to Hoxton Park and back - something in the order of 40 - 50 kts total!

Just watched your video on your update on your around the world trip. Please don't beat yourself up. I don't have anything but excitement for you. You haven't let anyone down, all that are following you haven't set your timeline, we are here to enjoy your adventure as you take us with you. You are doing this for you and we are your guests on a trip around the world. Keep doing what you're doing, you're doing great and should be on TV with your own show, but that is later. Thank you Stefan. Best wishes Darran from Cardiff. I would one day like to get my ppl but for now until I sort my funds out I will enjoy your adventures. You should do trips in your plane with celebrities... That would be a winner.
