I'm attempting to fly to every airport in Victoria. 43 airports - dirt strips, Class C controlled airports, Military zones, private airports and public aerodromes. Watch as I get into icing, get caught in bad weather, cancel my IFR flight plans, all whilst trying to land at as many airports as I can.

If you're enjoying the videos please share a link with your friends - helps me grow the channel, thank you 🙏 Also did you spot the mistake I made when talking about the timing of this challenge? I only just realised what I said... 🤦‍♂️

@benstockert1219 3 года назад

Yes you mentioned completing the challenge in 2020.😁

@raycowin1788 3 года назад

It’s OK well seemed to have lost a year lately. Was following the flight on Flightradar and wondered why you dropped off ... I think when you cancelled IFR for Hopetoun it lost you. Keep the videos coming. Because if these currently doing my Cirrus transition at Avia.

Love it! Fantastically flown, and so well put together! Managed to get up in a PA28 Turbo Arrow yesterday (still in lockdown in the UK) It was nice but not as nice as the Cirrus! By far the best GA plane out there!

Love to catch up with you when you land in Benalla, home of the Gliding Club of Victoria. We also have an aviation museum as Benalla Airport was a training airport for the RAAF in the early years

@GolfonFlying 3 года назад

That's a cool idea... when I saw this i realised I had landed at 54 different places around Southeast Australia of those 29 places are in Victoria, 18 of which qualified on your list. I added another 3 landings today taking my numbers to 32 in Victoria & 20 off your list.. not that far behind you :) I enjoy seeing what you are doing

@classicraceruk1337 3 года назад

Nice days flying huh Stef, that icing was looking a bit dodgy glad you found the tops.

@Haydoscountry 3 года назад

Another great clip; thanks Stef for taking us on the journey. Love the idea of flying "just because" even if it wasn't the most glamourous of destinations. Great to see another reason to get IFR endorsement as a GA pilot. As a side note, remember that scene in Wayne's World when they go to Delaware......I just picture Hopetoun!

@CHARLESCRANFORD 3 года назад

Another great video. Parts seamed like Mad Max, visiting the deserted airports, risking your funny bone for petrol. The anguish of deciding to stay or go IFR, the elation and zooming along the top of the clouds, and Milkshake making an appearance. The cinematography and story selling was on point. I feel like the pandemic has given you extra time to hone your skills. I love your showcasing of Victoria, and I am so looking forward to not only seeing more of Victoria and Australia, but also your round the world flight. As always, Thank you so much for making your videos.

@spencerpacker7453 3 года назад

Stef, would have loved you stop in at Mitta Mitta YITT (or as the locals call it, "Mitta International")! It has a very mountainous approach and circuit area and a nice sand and gravel runway. As always, great video and looking forward to the next one!

Would love to see you at Ballarat Aerodrome again, even if the runway is a bit patchy and not that great 👍 Great Video, really enjoyed it. Hope you have/will achieve your goal.

@amcconnell6730 3 года назад

I like that your definition for visiting a place is a full-stop landing ... but you don't necessarily have to get out of the aircraft to touch the ground with your feet. :) I've been flying in Europe since the Ansett collapse, so I count many cities as having been "visited" when people ask me - but I know that I really should only count the ones where I have left the airport. ;)

@High_Alpha 3 года назад

I prefer to fly IFR. Not only do you get services anyway but you can always fly visual if you need to... Which is not VMC. After all, you spent all that money on the rating, keeping the aircraft in IFR category and keeping yourself current! As far as the doubt... Remember the saying: If there is any doubt, there is no doubt.
