P3 Orion at Brunswick Naval Air Station
So great to see a P-3 Orion on the ramp in Brunswick, Maine. This is the former Brunswick Naval Air Station, and P-3s were the resident squadrons back in the glory days of the cold war. The long probe out the tail is a magnetometer, this airplane could detect the presence of a submarine under twater by detecting the perturbation of the Earth's magnetic field. Living right under the approach path to Brunswick Naval Air Station, I used to watch these amazing airplanes fly by our place on the cove as they were coming back from their sub-hunter missions.

Flying the General Aviation scenic corridors over Grand Canyon National Park

A video for GA pilots showing the VFR flight corridors over the Grand Canyon
Is there a best season to fly these corridors?
What a great video and narration 👍. Good info
Great video - and good for you saying that you won’t respond to hateful comments. Sadly if seems like trolls don’t get the message when no one speaks up like you did
What airport did you fly out of. I’m at kffz did u stop for fuel somewhere before doing this?
Thank you for your effort providing this video. Can you please let me in 1.13( topography map) what are your check points from start to the end?
Fantastic Video, Mark. Thanks for the excellent preparation. Flew Zuni Point Corridor south, then Dragon Corridor north, a week and a half ago in my RV-7, between about 0945 - 1030 local time. Beautiful views that my son and I will not soon forget - pics and videos are great, but the human eye sees it better!
I love his voice
Don’t you need oxygen tanks at those levels
Excellent video Mark. Filmed well and great verbal nav aid. This flight has been on my bucket list, so very disappointed to find out my carb won't work well enough at the required altitudes, especially with density figured in.
Great video! Thank you for the work you put in and sharing it with us.
At those altitudes I assume you are on Oxygen?
Great video very helpful saved me hours of studying the Grand Canyon Air Space to determine a flight plan. Wondering what type of plane you were in and what the service ceiling is. Thanks for the great work.
Mary, so glad it was helpful to you. How did your flightseeing go? I filmed these segments from a turbocharged Cessna 210, service ceiling is 31,000 feet (no-one flies 210s up that high...) and it does make Grand Canyon flightseeing easier to have good climb performance in the high teens. Good flying to you!
Anyone know a las vegas based operator or pilot that can be chartered to fly through and land in the Grand Canyon?
Excellent video
Beautiful job, Thank you for posting.
Great video. Thanks
looks like engine failure not gonna be so good?
Gary, you're right, the terrain inside the canyon is inhospitable with very few good options for a forced landing. Much better at the plateau level, particularly the south rim, as it's less wooded than the north rim. The river might seem like the best ditching point, but it's cold and fast-moving, and it would be quite a feat of piloting to dead-stick it into the Colorado successfully. So... the Grand Canyon is not a good place for the noisy fan to get quiet. Best to you! Thanks for the comment.
Daniel, the corridor altitudes are specified for direction of your crossing, so you should have 1,000 feet of separation from traffic going the opposite direction in the same corridor. There's a small inset box on the special VFR chart that shows them. Southbound traffic should be at 10,500' or 12,500' MSL, northbound traffic should use 11,500' or 13,500' MSL. Have a great flight!
Thanks very helpful planning on flying there next week, could you do this in opposite direction, or would that conflict with other traffic? I'll be coming from vegas
Singularly the most practical & useful. Video on the corridors. Thanx.
Very helpful. Thanks for posting.
