I will once again be flying in the Give Hope Wings fundraiser this year! Our June of 2024 flight will see us stop in many communities in Eastern Canada to raise awareness for this worthy cause. Last year 2023 we raised over $27,000 towards helping our neighbours - we made a positive difference in the lives of many. Here's the link to the 2024 fundraiser page: support.hopeair.ca/ghw2024/glens-hangar To learn more about the Hope Air Charity: hopeair.ca/
I spent almost all my military service in Search and Rescue, 413 Sqn, Summerside and Greenwood and then 442 Sqn In Comox. Pretty near 30 years of twisting wrenches and traveling to cold places to support searching for lost people. I miss it and the people.
You should check out the RUclips channel ‘Tom Air’ - he’s a pilot local to me, who had an engine out forced landing a couple of winters ago in the North. Landed on a frozen lake and SAR came to the rescue, dropping techs and supplies in the dark from a C-130. The videos are a great show of what those squadrons do to keep us all safe.
Appreciate you making these videos, Glen. I'm not a pilot and probably never will be, but the view into that life is fascinating and I can't get enough of the scenery. Seeing ice on the lakes is something else to a Florida resident.
Softened butter added as soon as the bread is removed from the heat is the best. Spread it around until the butter is no longer standing and has been completely absorbed into the toast. Yum. Nothing worse than cold butter chunked onto cooled toast. Not even worth eating it at that point.
Awesome. That new terminal building is looking really nice. Next time you’re out there, be sure to check out the Killarney airport, it’s only 20 minutes from Gore Bay, and well worth the visit.
I love Killarney! Bike ride into town for fresh caught fish and chips, so good. The new terminal at Gore Bay is going to be the nicest around for miles - too bad that the town put the Kibosh on the little weekend cabins out by the lake.
It seems that airplane camping may have a lot in common with ultralight backpack camping. Aficionados of that style of camping are obsessed with weight and size, and will often spend hundreds of dollars to eliminate grams from their packs. Titanium, carbon fiber, and other materials are their bread and butter.
Weight is a huge issue, not so much for these shorter trips close to airports with fuel; but later in the summer when we try to fly to the Arctic Ocean we’ll need to carry extra fuel in cans. Which will make it important to minimise the weight of the camp gear.
When I airplane camp my tent alone weighs 70lbs. I think it's probably more comparable to car camping than backpacking. My wife section hikes the Appalachian trail and her total pack weight is less than my cot.
@@RichWellner I'd love to take a bell tent along like the one you have Rich! Most of our camping this summer will be like car camping and that tent would be amazing. The longer more remote trips we're planning are to areas where there are 'airports' but 100LL isn't available or only available from metal drums... (maybe, if it isn't all used earlier in the season). So we'll have aux fuel in the cabin taking up useful load.
One of the backpacking couples I watch dehydrate their meals to save weight. They also mail packages to themselves of fresh supplies. Might work for you.
Great video. We fly to Gorebay all summer long. My family has a hanger there and a place in kagawong. We are flying up this coming Friday for a week actually! Robbie is a one of a kind. Great person and always fun to talk to. Maybe we will see ya around up there sometime. Don't forget to go into Gorebay and visit split rail for some "splitters" ❤
Hearing 424 Squadron on the radio brought back fond memories of my time flying the HC-130H with the 303 ARRS (Air Force Reserve) in the early 70’s. We participated in a friendly week long airdrop completion with them at CFB-Trenton along with a USAF active duty squadron. At the time they were flying the C-8 Buffalo and came over the DZ 40 to 50 knots slower then we could manage in the Herc. They finished first (I chalk it up to home field advantage) but we were second way ahead of the USAF active duty crew. I am now a long retired armchair pilot and have really enjoyed following your chronicle on getting back in to flying, keep up the great work. (I also follow G&F, love the old cookbook show, reminds me of the depression era recipes my mom and grandmother made in the early 50’s - if I can re create it I will send you their “depression rice” recipe)

Great video Glen and looking forward to see the next as well as the preferred camping spot. Good to hear on the safety measures to be taken when flying over water.
I'm glad to see Gore Bay getting a new terminal building after all these years. My family used to attend the gore bay fly in every year for a very very long time, and always re-entered Canada at Gore Bay on the way back from Oshkosh. Been a long time now since C-GHZE was in the air.
Hi Glen, great video and great channel. I flew to Gore Bay from my home base of Hanover last summer. Great airport and awesome Airport Manager (Robert)! Plan on flying back this summer. BTW..I love your airplane! Questions...what cameras and audio recorder do you use? What video editor do you use? Cheers, Dave
Thanks Dave! Currently using a mix of GoPro 9 and some GoPro 12 for filming in the plane; also audio in the plane is recorded on a Tentacle Sync Track E. Outside the plane I'm using a Sony ZVE1 with a Rode mic on top for audio. I edit in FCPX / Davinci Resolve after running it all through Tentacle Studio to align the time code.
It must be fun to take advantage of your STOL mods and lift off the runway when you're not even half-way along. I'm guessing that the vast majority of airports have runways that are plenty long enough for you, but are you aware of any (more remote?) places that would still be a "tight squeeze"?
We’ll be visiting a few shorter runways this summer that will be challenging because of length and condition. The real challenge this summer will be in the Far North where the runways are mostly gravel. Some will be plenty long (they are serviced by 737-200 with gravel kits), but no matter how long you want to get off the gravel as soon as possible.
Nice video as usual!!! You considered a rescue parachute like the Cirrus have??? MVU looks great can see youve been polishing!!! Are you allowed to use those long lasting ceramic waxes that supposedly last a whole year on a car on a plane???
The chute for this model of 172 isn’t (or wasn’t when I asked) available, so constant emergency training is the answer. I tried the ceramic coating, but it didn’t last more than a couple of months and then started to look worse than not polishing. It didn’t seem to stick very well to the bare metal, and the exhaust ate it away as well. Sounded like a great idea; just didn’t work for me.
Am i wrong? But when you climb to 8500 feet instead of 4500 or 6000 feet you can cross quicker? Something to do with the circumference of the earth? No?
I did re-fuel at Gore Bay, pretty reasonable price for the location. Switching fuel tanks on this plane is because of an AD related to a fault in the fuel system that rears its head at altitudes above 5,000 feet. The fix was to switch tanks every 30 minutes. Newer Cessna 172’s have a re-designed fuel system so you don’t have to switch tanks; you can run them on ‘both’ all the time.
Good Morning Sir, very nice sexy aircraft that you have Sir 😇👍😎it is 100.8 knots per hour. Nice Radio Call, how did he know Sir ( transponder, flight plan, listening to the radio ? ). 🤔 Very Nice futur airport terminal building 👍😇👌Ok, SAR tech airdrop over toast 🤣👍👍my choice will be different for sure and I had the chance to work for them many years ago doing maintenance on the life support equipement as a former SST Tech 😇👍👍 OUTSTANDING video Sir CHeers 👍👍😇😇🍻🍻
Oh man do I LOVE the nadir, bombers view, camera! I would definitely watch an unedited full flight of just that camera with the radio traffic audio. It would fit right in with the train drivers view videos and the UK canal boat videos.
Yes it is - sort of - the beeping is from the AOA (angle of attack). I’m working on more aggressive / shorter take off distances, get the plane off the ground and into ground effect.
I ask because I have flown 172s before and never heard them beep during takeoff. But, I appreciate your STOL endeavors (or at least your "ST" efforts). In a different life, I might have become a bush pilot.
Glen! You were right around the corner and didn't even say hello. I'm hurt! If you have time when you're up camping let me know. Maybe you can come up and have a look around. Best view in the city! All the best
I have a couple of Komodo X’s, but I’m trying to keep the setup in the cabin / on the plane really simple. Set it and forget it, so I can concentrate on flying… Don’t want to end up as a topic on @Blancolirio

Really enjoying your downward cam, thanks.
Thought I'd give it a try and see what happens.
The colors over the water were amazing, too.
Came here to say the exact same thing - great stuff!

MikeVictorUniform is looking great, did she get a refresh of her polish over the winter?
Love the videos Glen.
I pick away at the polishing when I get the chance - takes a lot of work, but it’s pretty rewarding when I step back and look at it.
That downward facing camera was a fantastic idea. Love it!
“Toast was good, though!” 😂
fun to fly up to Gore Bay with you in your neat-looking 172...I recognized some of the place
Thanks Glen, always enjoy flying along with you!
To be fair, if the toast was freshly buttered, that is one of the best foods that you can have.
Softened butter added as soon as the bread is removed from the heat is the best. Spread it around until the butter is no longer standing and has been completely absorbed into the toast. Yum. Nothing worse than cold butter chunked onto cooled toast. Not even worth eating it at that point.
@@raymondmiller4981 agreed! Melted butter is key.
If we're talking homemade bread AND homemade butter, then I agree!😁

Will do! Thanks.@@GlensHangar
Definitely LOVING the new downward angles! Thanks Glen! I drive by Edenvale often and wonder if you n Chris are there troubleshooting MVU lol
Very nice. I’m just beginning my journey into getting my ppl. Working with the faa on my medical, then off to ground school.
CGF7 is 2100 ft long, not 42100. Watch out for blackflies when you go camping there.
Damn Glen.. looks like you've been doing some polishing! Looks beautiful bud!
We live west of the airport in Gore Bay. What a delight to have you so close.
That looks like it's going to be a nice building when it's done. How is the new electronic ignition doing? Has it changed your fuel GPH usage at all?
I’m averaging about 1gph less fuel - really happy about that.
@@GlensHangar That should pay for itself pretty quickly with what fuel prices are these days.
good to see Robbie, I used to see him when he had the machine shop on the grounds. Time flies.
Something fun could be camping cooking videos!
Toast! You're speaking my language.
Great video Glen and looking forward to see the next as well as the preferred camping spot. Good to hear on the safety measures to be taken when flying over water.

Yeah, that solid water usually is pretty cold!
Love the aspect ratio and the top-down shots!

Light aircraft usually cruise a little bit faster at higher altitude due to decreased air density. The circumference of the earth isn’t a factor.
Nice location for camping
17 MPG, 116 MPH = 100.8 Knots. You had to change tanks, did you refuel? Great video!
I did re-fuel at Gore Bay, pretty reasonable price for the location.

Another very nice video
Glenn new subscriber here from Texas. Really enjoyed. Love the conversation.
who doesn't love toast
Gore Bay is a great place! All of Manitoulin is great, tbh. My ex was from there, and we spent a lot of time visiting her family. Good hunting, too!
Love seeing you fly over my house when departing or arriving CYOO
@1:58 and again @16:14 - Is that your stall warning sounding during takeoff?
Yes it is - sort of - the beeping is from the AOA (angle of attack). I’m working on more aggressive / shorter take off distances, get the plane off the ground and into ground effect.
I ask because I have flown 172s before and never heard them beep during takeoff. But, I appreciate your STOL endeavors (or at least your "ST" efforts). In a different life, I might have become a bush pilot.
Love the videos Glen. Can't wait to find out what's cooking on the other channel.
In this case it's not YAY! Toast, it's BOO! Toast. :(
Glen! You were right around the corner and didn't even say hello. I'm hurt! If you have time when you're up camping let me know. Maybe you can come up and have a look around. Best view in the city!
All the best
I’l get there this summer I think. Pretty sure we’ll be stopping in with the Hope Air flight(?), if not I’ll be back anyway.
using the red for this channel is a great fit, better views!!
if you can get/rent a komodo or bmpcc or small freefly camera, that would be dope for inside the plane too!
I have a couple of Komodo X’s, but I’m trying to keep the setup in the cabin / on the plane really simple. Set it and forget it, so I can concentrate on flying… Don’t want to end up as a topic on @Blancolirio
@@GlensHangar yes ahah ! at least the docket would be filled with ultra high quality evidence
