When I first saw the title I thought "there is no way you can make it to France in 5 hrs in a small plane". So, I was thinking maybe you were heading to a city named France in the U.S. Then you were heading up the Eastern Seaboard into Canada so I started to question if it was possible. I began looking at the planes specs and calculating if that model plane could make it to France in 5 hrs. Then, after calculating the plane could fly about 850miles (1368km) in 5 hrs I pulled up a map and drew a circle from Boston, MA. I just got the circle drawn and noticed the city of St. Pierre within the radius on the route you were traveling. At that point you said, we are in St. Pierre. Pretty cool. I learned something new and saw a great family trip.
What are the performance specs of this plane? I’m guessing it’s turbo’ sand pressurized to allow high altitude?
You had to check the specs lol. An airliner can't do that no way a GA plane can. It was obviously some French possession in the Atlantic.
@@DigitalNomadOnFIRE Be nice. Not everyone is a super genius/avgeek such as yourself.
@@Snakeskinncowboy not pressurized does not fly high he said in the video they flew flight following for 5500 feet
@@trilogy3x had to go look it up. I see now he went to “France”. Lol.
Congratulations guys! Talk about memories, you can’t put a price on this Father & Son’s trip! A pilot’s dream!
I have a twin brother. Our father passed away very unexpectedly when we were 11. Enjoy your time together guys.
I live in Brazil and I can drive to France (French Guiana) ...
My wife is from Guyana (I've been twice) and French Guiana is also accessible by car from there (via Suriname, but you need to take at least one ferry).
Boiiiiii
It’s spelled Guyane.
Guyana is next to Venezuela.
Greetings from Cayenne.

There's Guiana in my energy drink.
Cool video guys! I’m actually French and was wondering while reading the title how to get to France in 5 hours with this kind of plane.. i was like no way, that’s not possible but you guys tricked me well! I hope you enjoyed your visit in St Pierre et Miquelon, it’s definitely a place I’d love to go one day, there is a legacy of Basque culture and tradition, I grew up in the Basque Country, which is also a very nice place to visit with amazing food! Thanks for sharing your trip!
Looked like you had perfect weather. Great trip for you three. Awesome job dad and an unforgettable journey for your boys. Bravo
Loved your flight Jeff, Not too far from Minuteman. I never knew that Island existed is originally I thought you were actually going to France skipping over to Greenland and Iceland , Ireland route...
I enjoyed watching you interact with your kid's, and flying together. 🇺🇸👶
Epic Father and Sons journey!
Congratulations!
Your are doing it right Jeff!
My late grandmother was from Sydney-Cape Breton. Nice to see you fly over her hometown.
Wow, didn’t know this place existed thanks for sharing it.
Yeah, I heard they have some big tower and the people love baguettes.
thanks to share this fly. Merci d'avoir partager ce vol . Vous etes les bien venus en France . WELCOME in FRANCE. Next time push your fly until Paris we're I'm living :-)
Nice video of your trip. I could tell from the beginning you were off to SPM, as I am a Toronto area resident (I lived in Quincy, MA for 9 years,... loved it there.). I have been to St. Pierre 3 times now, and plan to go again in Sept 2020, if the COVID restrictions are lifted. I drive to the east coast each summer (relatives to visit in Halifax / friends to see in Boston). then up to Newfoundland, and I take the 1 hour ferry ride to St. Pierre. Usually spend 5 days. You must go again and be there on July 14 for France's independence festivities (Bastille Day)... a lot of all day + all evening fun, and fireworks at 10 pm. I see you went to my favourite restaurant, Les P'tits Graviers..... I go for the salmon pizza when there.
I live in The Netherlands and I can walk into Germany 😀
and to France in St Marteen
Doesn't that usually happen the other way round?
BRAVO bravo Bravo Messieurs..Immense voyage .Bravo pour votre courage . Et bravo a la fiabilité et puissance du Beechcraft.
St. Pierre et Miquelon! - The Atlantic French isles! It's a nice sailing trip as well, especially when you can also explore ports (or airports) in Nova Scotia. Write it up for National Geo.
Can't believe you went all that way and didn't go another 180 miles to Saint John's NFLD.
That’s incredible to be able to fly overseas in a small aircraft. I’m impressed!!
Saint Pierre is near Canada
Overseas?
Wow he installed a jet in that Bonanza? Oh...
This was cool. Including the little history lesson. Thank you!
Wow, What an adventure. And you do not get French food in France. You just get food :p
Greta video!!! I live 10mins from Minute Man airfield…
Marvellous travel... amazing scenery... excellent food... wonderful team... thanks for sharing, oscar
It's not everyday you see an air traffic controller dressed up like a Saturday Night Fever extra.
Bravo les amis!
France is also a two hour hop in a B737 from Brisbane, Australia! It's called New Caledonia.
I love the little zoom in through the clouds to say, yes we're still vfr
Reminds me of my days flying my 172 from Maine to all the Caribbean Islands as far as Grenada. Just nothing in this world like it.
Wow, did you really? I've yet to see an excursion like that anywhere via the Caribbean like you did thru to Grenada, much less in a 172 - that would have been great you see.
Fun video (and nice title)! :) Had never heard of these places before.
Very nice. That was a great flight for all of you.
And everyone said they'd be traveling at an escargot's pace. 🐌
Bahahaha! MDR!!!
I apologize of my ignorance of the plane's ability just wanted to know if the cabin is pressurized when flying 10kfeet and above.Great video and lovely family.Thanks
The Bonanza is not pressurized. We rarely fly above 10,000 feet. Oxygen is required above 12,500 feet for the crew when flying more than 30 min.
@@SocialFlight Thanks that explains a lot.I assume your comfort zone is 5-7k feet which would clear you from larger planes paths.Thanks
The folding bikes look plenty useful for this kind of travel
Very cool. Sweet a36
Great video guys!!!
Thanks for taking us with you guys. Enjoyed it as well. How expensive to maintain such a single engine aircraft?
Loved the video. Thanks!
Freakin Awesome!!! A trip you guys will never forget.
Great video! Amazing! I wonder how much were the costs!?
From my home town in Newfoundland Canada, Saint Perrier is about a 45min boat ride. It's been a few years since I've been to the islands. You can Take a ferry from Fortune Newfoundland to Saint Perrier and come back the same day.
My father was from Buchans NL!
First videos I've seen from you,, excellent video!! Although it's a reminder of how much my geography sucks
Don’t know about the US, but European regulations require that life vests be worn at all times when traveling over water with land not within gliding distance. On top of that, the water up there is cold, even in summer. If there’s an issue with your life raft, you will die of hypothermia very quickly. As awkward as they are, a flight like this requires survival suits, imho. And you have to wear them in the plane, of course. You wouldn’t be able to put them on in an emergency. Check out what all the ferry pilots do on the North Atlantic route.
Can you provide details of the portable bikes you use? Would be great for my boat.
We use bikes from www.downtube.com/ and love them. Very inexpensive and well built with only quality name-brand components.
Hi.
Thanks you very much for this wonderful journey.
Si beautiful To see father and sons having the same dream.
Can you tell me please during you flight what is you flight level do you think that it s possible To do the same flight from Boston To France via Canada and irish island?
Thanks.
Stay safe
One of the best airplanes ever built.
I figured out in the first part that, with all the time you spent on the ground, your destination was the only remaining soil in North America that still flies the French flag. Pretty sneaky with the title. I'm sure your quite aware of the electrical interference either in the aircraft's radios or in the recording connections. That buzz.....!
Thanks for listening despite the audio issue. We solved it by tossing the GoPro and switching to a Yi Action Camera. The GoPro was picking up electrical noise from it's charger/audio cable. The Yi works flawlessly at 1/4 the price... ;-)
Amazing trip!! 👌👌👌👌
Excellent.
That’s funny and definitely like this little Geographic trick, from the US to “AUSTRALIA” to actually France real French territories that was a nice video...by car I am 3 min away from LSGG Switzerland, 20 min. from LFLI France, 1h15 from LIMV Italy and 2h45 from EDTF Germany ! I have always loved the Bonanza great airplane especially the V-tail one, used to own a Mooney definitely not as roomy as as the Bonanza 😉
Anyway I like it and by the way unlike in the US you announce “ready for departure rwy XX ” not “ready for takeoff” in Europe EASA rules apply as you are in France ! 😂😂😂
Thanks for posting...
wonder how much it costs in Aviation fuel?
Depends on the airport but over 1k for places like this
And that’s a landing fee. Fuel costs depends on the aircraft and again location. Usually around 5-8k for stops like these.
These made my decision final it’s a Bonanza Beechcraft awesome video, though was there any stops between Nova scotia and France or you stopped by over Greenland please advise
Our route took us to KEPM Eastport, ME for cheap fuel, then direct to Sydney NS, then direct to St. Pierre. You should definitely do it!
Go LS Warriors! Haha Awesome trip!
Would you consider flying to France proper in your plane? Maybe to Normandy.
I don't think that plane has the range
Has 1240 kms
Paul Paul with stops u probably can
are these guys on the up and up?
hello captn, I will do it on MIcrosoft Flight simulator with my sons.
Merciand bienvenue à st Pierre...
Had no clue France had territory just off the coast of Canada!
Je savait pas que le breachraft avait une autonomies de plus 5 heure
But the rafales don't escort the bonanza when it approach to controlled france air space
Three adults, three bicycles, survival gear, and no tip tanks. How???
Man, talk about $100 hamburger 👱♂️
Guys what you did is amazing! Congrat! Salute from Portugal.
The video is great, but you need to put actual map of flying from point a to point b!
Also, they go all the way to this very interesting place and hardly show any of it!
That's actually kind of difficult to put on something that can draw that curved line that you're looking for. Takes another level of computer expertise that you might have, but the other 99/100 humans don't have/haven't figured out yet. This is my finding anyway. If it was me making this video, I would have for sure. That'd be awesome.
About 3 hours faster than Lindbergh.
I’m completely confused. They crossed the Atlantic? How they cleared customs? What permits you need to fly to Europe? Or they are just at an Island of France? Would’ve been nice to follow this on a map, inserted into this video, so I can visualize.
Abasc Ylahim . They flew from Boston in the United States to the islands of St. Pierre and Miquelon. They are just off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada. They are part of North America. But they are also part of France. Of course, they had to clear customs and immigration in both France (on the islands) and Canada (when they stopped in Nova Scotia). They probably did not show it because you usually cannot film that process. All of this is explained in the video.
OK I was like how those guys can reach my country in 5 hours.......then I remembered ^^^
Pilot here and I fell for it... very cool video nonetheless and great history breakdown. If you could post your legs we would appreciate it!
Here's a question for you no one has asked. The range of your plane is just over 800 nms but France is 3000 nms from nova scotia. How did you refuel twice out in the ocean and how did you do that trip in under 5 hours?
Te Amo you do realize that they flew to French islands in North America, right? They literally said where they flew. Did you watch the video or just come here to troll?
Growing Guns it’s actually an excellent question. The dad kept saying France and the avg person would have thought mainland France. Either way a great adventure.
Alberto D - actually watching the video would have answered the his question. So no, not a great question.
@@PWPUU To be realistic one not familiar with French territory possessions and aircraft range, cruising speed etc might well think of an island off mainland France . One should always be free to ask any question no matter how dumb it might appear .
Saint Pierre and Miquelon, ha ha, never knew it existed.
A little piece of Europe in North America
I knew it.
Hey Jeff, great flight, But you’ve got to get the Stewerdess better Dresses and make up! Ha ha! J.K.,
Better feel real confident about your maintenance log to make the jump over the pond like this.
They didn’t cross the Atlantic
@@evz1244 Over Labrador Sea to Greenland / Greenland to Iceland / Iceland to UK / UK to France? Still, over water a LOT.
Ahem...five hours...bathroom breaks...?
LOL...considering air speed, no hangin’ out the window!
Gatorade bottle 🤣
Most companies I know will not allow management fly on one airplane for safety reason. I would never fly all my kids on one flight for the same reason.
By the way, I can go to England and Netherlands from France in less than 20 min flight. And still at one hour from USA (I can monitor on atc). Where I am ?
Oh Man.... tell us!
Southeast Florida, keys ?
St. Martin. My wife and I were there on our honeymoon.
The St. Martin half of the island is French. The Sint Maarten half of the island is Dutch. It's a short flight to Anguilla, an English territory island in the Caribbean, and roughly an hour's flight over open water to St. Croix, part of the US Virgin Islands.
England ≠ United Kingdom.
TNCM St Martin lols
Spell the island so I can google map it
St. Pierre & Miquelon
@@SocialFlight thank you. What was the airport identifier?
LFVP
@@SocialFlight thank you. 2325 nm direct
Awesome flight. Tell me you didn't get pizza in France!
They boys did🙄, hey but we’re all the same in Europe, right?! To be fair, I flew an hour over water in a full immersion suit in a twin engine helicopter and I was far more nervous than he was. Kudos to him.
France my butt..lol
lazy boys got taxi back to airport
How many xanax did you have onboard?
Paul Paul 😂🤣
Ridiculous piece of Clickbait.
💚Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon💚
Ah BullShit.
Actually I figured it out in Part one. I knew Saint Pierre and Miquelon are not territories of France but PART of France. Just like Tahiti and dozens more.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_islands_of_France
It’s so weird I ran into your video. I was in Sydney for a fuel stop in a Piper Seminole PA44 at the same time you guys were there. I only stopped for an hour then departed to Halifax, but I remember seeing you guys loading up baggage. Looks like it was an awesome trip.
Blue skies folks!
That’s so cool!
I knew it.
I live in Auckland, New Zealand: France is a three hour flight away
Sydney, Novia Scotia in Canada
@@simonnicklin1313 And Nouméa, in New Cadelonia, is in France. New Cadelonia is located between New Zealand and Australia.
YanikCrepeau1 Yes, but this is St Pierre& Miquelon, a french department and overseas territory on near Newfoundland, Canada

Hey kids, you have a really cool dad. You will have life memories. Guys stay owesome,
Looks like he has some awesome kids.
Really nifty! --but wondering why you didn't show the panel with all the cool avionics you mentioned? And it would have been nice to see your power settings/airspeed etc. Also, was somewhat disappointing that there was almost zero footage of the 185 miles across open sea and the approach planning/com into Saint-Pierre.
John Holmes would’ve been kinda boring in my opinion to watch just water
Boston, USA to the French Republic... it is actually possible to fly from Boston to (real) France in 1 hour . glad you guys enjoyed your trip
In an X-15?
In 1 hour?
Are you a private SR-71 pilot?
Wait a minute !! We forgot mom !!!
KEVIN!
Her or the bikes...
cool video, and i learned something new. im from canada and i didnt know this.
You fell asleep in history class didn't you? If you'd stayed awake you would have learned that all of what is now Eastern Canada used to be France and that St Pierre and Miquelon is what remains. If you slept through that part of class you probably don't know that Newfoundland was actually a sovereign nation until 1949.
You can also go to France from Miami in few hours
kinda figured it was clickbait , but watched it anyway.
That’s cool I saw the ls warriors hoodie one of his sons have. I’m going to ls next year
Sweeeet !! Tricky title lol.
How do you spell the town you went to. I can't make Google maps bring it up. Enjoyed your videos alot. Thanks.
Search on St. Pierre and Miquelon. Thanks for watching!
@@SocialFlight
thank you😎
Cool video. I never heard of that French island before.
Bull Shit !!!!
Hi it's inspiring...so you flew from eastport, maine to sydney nova scotia than long flight to blanche in france passing by the ocean?
We actually flew to St. Pierre, France, which is an island off the coast of Newfoundland. Amazing little part of France. Check it out!
