    Son, you are a very lucky young man and you have an amazing dad. If all dads were as good as yours the world would be a much better place. Learn all you can from your dad and I bet in 20 years time you’ll be a captain of your own plane doing international flights. I have just subscribed and liked. Greetings from Cumbria in the U.K.
    Stay safe and well.

    Came across from your travel vlogs , absolutely loved this , just to watch a dad and a son interact . Your little lad reminds me of my oldest son and how we used to interact with each other , my lad 19 now and turned into a lovely young man , but this made me miss the days when he was this age . Great video , treasure days like these and having them on camera , amazing x

    @cmdrflake 2 года назад +10

    To an old co-worker of mine, the area across from Dover was where B17’s had to get into “loose” formation due to heavy flak over Bolo. If they were lucky P47’s would clear the costal AA. Sometimes it helped. When they cleared the coast into France, they tightened formation and headed toward their target. It was not for the faint of heart.

    Such good fun to watch your video! When I was about the same age as your son, I started also flying with my dad , bit scary the first one as it was on a Tiger Moth , but since then we flew chipmunks, Cubs, Super Cubs , Austers ,Tri Pacers , diverse Cessnas and the last one a Bonanza V Have wonderful memories , as I am sure your son will have too ! Take care , safe flights and keep posting ! Have a good one Noel 🤝👍🤙

    17:10 “squawk 7000” - oh, if only I could pronounce conspicuity when pressing the radio button on the stick.

    Excellent (and very surprising) Video Noel !!! Who owns the PA28 Cherokee - is it a 180, looks like it ? Who knew you had a PPL - no mention in any of your other International Airline Flight/s videos ! Perhaps you can offer more commentary on the Cherokee, its history - when it was purchased - where it is hangared etc. that would add interest to your content, don't you think ??? On a humourous note, do you miss being able to make one of your 'Toilet Reviews' ???

  • @duncanmcewan1049
    @duncanmcewan1049 2 года назад

    Wow - this brought back memories. I was in Le Touquet on a school trip (history, not geography ;) )... went to Paris, then on to Le Touquet. This was in October 1987. Guess what "breezy" event happened then? I did some map "stalking" and think the hotel is still there (whether the same one, I cant remember), but it was definitely next to the Le Touquet street market (Now its called the Hotel De Cottage). I remember it being a beautiful little town and being 15 meant alcohol was easy to purchase :p

    What are the costs to hire and fly an aircraft like this and what are the costs in fuel on this trip?

    • @MeTube3
      @MeTube3 2 года назад

      A PA28 like this one is about £150 - £180 per hour. Club hire is usually “wet” rates, so all fuel is included. Depending where you are you might need three hours for this trip. Obviously less than that if you live in Kent. You pay a landing fee at the destination airport.
