Of course you had to fly into Moncton (where I did my CPL/IFR) a month after I move away!
This is a flight I did both way many times in a DA20 during my nights of time-building in between these bad days that are very typical of the area.
Weather is always a factor in flying. Thanks for sharing.
Crossing Algonquin Park is Ontario's version of the PEI Straight (LOL)
I was the viewer who said hello to you at the breakfast rally, and I'm glad you enjoyed your time in Charlottetown, it's truly a beautiful city. Thanks for visiting PEI, and I hope you get to come back sometime!
I miss flying in small aircraft. Be safe & have fun.
Bless your hearts!
Living in Sackville - half hour out of Moncton - I spent the trip you made from Charlottetown to Moncton staring at the ground trying to figure out your flight path. :D
Sadly, the weather you had was... near typical lately. Or it's unbearably hot.
Hope you enjoyed Moncton, Glen!
Love the tail camrea. It's fricken awesome. Do helicopter di hope air also?
I'm not aware of any helicopters, but I don't know for sure.
The local university has a culinary program. There restaurant is excellent and great training for the students.
I luv PEI, favourites are Avonlea Village in New Glasgow, visit places from Anne of Green Gables, Emily of New Moon
I knew from looking at FlightAware that things didn't quite go according to plan, but it was still enjoyable to get the details straight from you. One thing that struck me as a bit odd was that you referred to C-FMVU as "it". I grew up around way more boats than airplanes (the latter being … honestly … none) and our vessels were always "she". Although, if a female boat captain referred to her ride as "he" I don't think we would have had any particular problem with that. Was I misled by watching too much Star Trek where almost everything about "flying" was modeled after "sailing"?
Short answer: you're not wrong - in most minds MVU would be a 'she', even though it's kind of a rough and tumble old man.
As someone who is (sorta) bilingual - the part of French I've always had the most linguistic trouble with is the assigning of gender to inanimate objects. When I speak French and I come across an object I'm unfamiliar with I usually get the gender (le / la) and sentence structure wrong. Even though I've been exposed to / lived with native French speakers my whole life. In English I'm pretty much the same, even though there isn't a linguistic structure of gender in most English.
@@GlensHangar I'm 100% with you on the le/la thing. My Dad grew up speaking French and when I asked him what the "rules" were for gendering nouns his response was always "after a while you just sort of know". And there's always the quirky exceptions: My boat has a sail (la voile), and my bride wore a veil (le voile). From now on I will think of "Mike" as the grown-up version of "Mikey" from the cereal commercial. ("Hey! He likes it!!") Looking forward to peas next week. ;)

Greetings from a subscriber in KBGR
I'm sorry, Glen. I have a curse. Whenever I take time off to fly, the weather gets terrible. I'm taking the summer off, so I may have ruined the flying season for everyone 😅.
I'm loving the skyward tail cam!
looks like vfr on top weather ;-)
It would have been - but at the time I left the weather at Moncton was reported to be MVFR. I wasn't sure that I'd be able to descend if it was indeed a solid cloud layer there. So from a safety standpoint I made the right decision; but hindsight and watching from the safety of home I could have gone VFR OTT and beef fine.
I do have a question. What are VFR and IFR? I do not fly so I am not familiar with most of the terms. Love both of your channels!
VFR - Visual Flight Rules
IFR - Instrument Flight Rules
VFR means that the sky is clear enough that you can fly using visual cues of the ground below, and see other aircraft in the distance. IFR means that you need to rely on the instruments in the aircraft to navigate and stay in level flight as well as rely on radar to warn of other aircraft you can't see.
It's slightly more nuanced than that, but those are the basics.
@@GlensHangar Awesome, thank you so much for taking the time to explain!
Pilots doing work for The Lord. Hope Air! ❤
I like to fly the same route you fly in flight simulator 2020.
There is a chef from Prince Edward Island I used to really like on tv. Have you ever seen him? I think he still has a restaurant there
Michael Smith
I’ve cooked with Michael a few times over on the cooking channel. Not sure if those videos are still up, that was probably 10 years ago.
It's that cold over there? It blistering hot here in yyz.
This was a couple weeks ago, and it was pretty chilly.
Engiine out over the bridge, would you/could you try and land on the bridge?
I probably wouldn't try the bridge - it's only two lanes wide with light posts along each edge. My wingspan is wider; it would be safer in the water.
wondering... is the bridge roadway an option for putting it down with an engine failure instead of glitching it in the water?
The bridge isn't wide enough, I'd hit the light posts on each side.
Loving this series Glen, enjoying the scenery and your expertise.
My bank won’t let me donate with my card outside the US. Is there an address I can send a physical check.
Thanks for trying - you're experience isn't uncommon, I've heard many American banks are the same.
I would encourage you to donate time or money to a cause that is local to you; please do some good in your home community.
In the intro you mention that the trip is a couple thousand miles, and I’m curious: do Canadians of a certain age still think Imperial, or were you just being courteous to metric challenged American viewers?
Many of us - particularly of a “certain age” - are equally at home in either measurement system. I’m 71 & primarily use metric 🇨🇦
Thank you. I felt sure the kids (40 or less) learned nothing but metric and would have no problems. I hope I didn’t offend with a “certain age”, but thought it a gentler way of saying “old”! I’m an older American physicist and at home in either, but when I tried to explain metric to my parents, I might as well have been speaking Swahili.
I go back and forth between Metric and Imperial, I learned both in the early years of school - and with the airplane I even have to use U.S. measurements as well. If I was driving it would have been in Km.
