If you're enjoying the videos please share a link with your friends - helps me grow the channel, thank you 🙏 Also did you spot the mistake I made when talking about the timing of this challenge? I only just realised what I said... 🤦♂️
It’s OK well seemed to have lost a year lately. Was following the flight on Flightradar and wondered why you dropped off ... I think when you cancelled IFR for Hopetoun it lost you. Keep the videos coming. Because if these currently doing my Cirrus transition at Avia.
@@OzMIB Sure would. I learned to fly there, and have done the Pilbara, south west and the goldfields, but only scratched the surface. Might leave that challenge to someone else I reckon :)
Love to catch up with you when you land in Benalla, home of the Gliding Club of Victoria. We also have an aviation museum as Benalla Airport was a training airport for the RAAF in the early years
That's a cool idea... when I saw this i realised I had landed at 54 different places around Southeast Australia of those 29 places are in Victoria, 18 of which qualified on your list. I added another 3 landings today taking my numbers to 32 in Victoria & 20 off your list.. not that far behind you :) I enjoy seeing what you are doing
Love it! Fantastically flown, and so well put together! Managed to get up in a PA28 Turbo Arrow yesterday (still in lockdown in the UK) It was nice but not as nice as the Cirrus! By far the best GA plane out there!
6:04 - VFR. Well..... Great idea to fly to all airports in your state. Definitely getting IFR when back in the saddle. I was wondering where milkshake was, and then... 9:19 You definitely inspire the love of aviation.
Another great clip; thanks Stef for taking us on the journey. Love the idea of flying "just because" even if it wasn't the most glamourous of destinations. Great to see another reason to get IFR endorsement as a GA pilot. As a side note, remember that scene in Wayne's World when they go to Delaware......I just picture Hopetoun!
Stef, would have loved you stop in at Mitta Mitta YITT (or as the locals call it, "Mitta International")! It has a very mountainous approach and circuit area and a nice sand and gravel runway. As always, great video and looking forward to the next one!
Thank you Stef for confirming that I am not the only crazy guy who flies to all the landing sites in his state, and checks them off on the map on the wall ;-) .
Another great video. Parts seamed like Mad Max, visiting the deserted airports, risking your funny bone for petrol. The anguish of deciding to stay or go IFR, the elation and zooming along the top of the clouds, and Milkshake making an appearance. The cinematography and story selling was on point. I feel like the pandemic has given you extra time to hone your skills. I love your showcasing of Victoria, and I am so looking forward to not only seeing more of Victoria and Australia, but also your round the world flight. As always, Thank you so much for making your videos.
Would love to see you at Ballarat Aerodrome again, even if the runway is a bit patchy and not that great 👍 Great Video, really enjoyed it. Hope you have/will achieve your goal.
Stefan, Thanks for your videos. Saw your new video and I suddenly realised I was excited to see a new one. As Im also in the throws of my PPL and to see you travel around Victoria is fantastic.
Hey mate: just echoing many of the comments below - really love your work and know that it's greatly appreciated by those of us who are Australian, get the same kick out of flying and live o/s.
Drop into Melton (YMEL), if you’re cool with grass strips the main one is super long. Not much going on there but my dad and I do keep our Winjeel there
Awesome scenery there Stefan not too mention some serious IMC. Look forward to your next one & that was some neat trick when you zoomed out on the GPS whereby the compass rose also rotated. Stay safe & we are slowly coming out of lockdown here now so hoping at last to get some 🛩 in.
I look forward to your beautiful and amazing videos every week, simply thank you so much for sharing this all with us, it’s beautiful. And can’t wait for more!
Stefan! I love seeing all of your beautifully edited videos! My first class medical cleared here in the U.S. and I was able to take my discovery flight a few weeks ago - I'm really looking forward to being able to continue with my private pilot lessons now that spring is almost here and the weather is improving in the Pacific Northwest. Looking forward to all of your future videos!
I like that your definition for visiting a place is a full-stop landing ... but you don't necessarily have to get out of the aircraft to touch the ground with your feet. :) I've been flying in Europe since the Ansett collapse, so I count many cities as having been "visited" when people ask me - but I know that I really should only count the ones where I have left the airport. ;)
What an awesome series, I would be great to know for each of these, the current 100LL price, the landing / parking cost, any facilities such as accessible aircon terminal/building and public transport / car options.
Another great video Stef. I set myself a similar challenge when I got my instrument rating to fly an approach at every Vic field that had an approach, six years later I have 4 to go.
Great vid Stef! Will be following this closely as I have a group of friends keen for me to take them on flying adventures and this will be the perfect inspiration!
That Hopetoun change thew me off haha I was watching you coming to Mildura again but then you went off to Hopetoun and by the time I realised you made your way back here I had missed you, you had packed up the plane and left. I can't wait for the next video, it's an amazing spot up there 👌🏻🤫🤭
Hey Stef, congrats on this - I think it’s a great initiative, and also a good chance to give regional Vic a greatly needed promotion. Wondering if Lilydale Airport (YLIL) is on your list? It’s a public aerodrome.
Hey Stef, when you land say Mildura how do you get the 10km into town. On occasions of us landing at similar empty airports there seemed no option but the local taxi company and many were ridiculous e.g. $50 each way
Hey Gene, IFR follows hemispheric levels so when heading West you should plan/fly even altitudes and odds for East. But as I was heading West and the clouds were giving me icing at 8,000 feet, I asked for “nonstandard” 9,000. ATC told me there was no conflicting traffic and as it was uncontrolled airspace I could fly at that level. I could’ve asked for 10,000 but I didn’t want to climb that high if I didn’t need to. Cheers, stef
Thanks for your great content vids Stef. Question: do you have any issues with restarting after your quick hops? I often find it hard to restart with hot engine in a G3 TN...
I hate these moments as well, when you just 50 50 on going ahead or not. If I am taking too long to decide I usually cancel my flight. But I am not instrument rated yet, and that plays a big part flying in VIC.
If you're enjoying the videos please share a link with your friends - helps me grow the channel, thank you 🙏 Also did you spot the mistake I made when talking about the timing of this challenge? I only just realised what I said... 🤦♂️
Yes you mentioned completing the challenge in 2020.😁
It’s OK well seemed to have lost a year lately. Was following the flight on Flightradar and wondered why you dropped off ... I think when you cancelled IFR for Hopetoun it lost you. Keep the videos coming. Because if these currently doing my Cirrus transition at Avia.
It's ok. 2020 didn't count, anyway! 😁
I've landed at EVERY certified airfield in the ACT :) Actually, so have you!!
Haha, ACT challenge... done!
So have I, too many times to remember. Now doing WA would be a huge job.
@@OzMIB would there be more certified airports in Western Australia or Queensland 🧐
@@OzMIB Sure would. I learned to fly there, and have done the Pilbara, south west and the goldfields, but only scratched the surface. Might leave that challenge to someone else I reckon :)
SO FUNNY !!! :-)
Look forward to Stawell. Family is from the area. Careful of the gravity around Landsborough! (Dad and I worked out it is the centre of the universe).
That glorious sight when you break out of the cloud tops! Brilliant.
Love to catch up with you when you land in Benalla, home of the Gliding Club of Victoria. We also have an aviation museum as Benalla Airport was a training airport for the RAAF in the early years
I'm glad you and milkshake got out of the clouds, she was worried about becoming frozen yogurt!
Nice days flying huh Stef, that icing was looking a bit dodgy glad you found the tops.
That's a cool idea... when I saw this i realised I had landed at 54 different places around Southeast Australia of those 29 places are in Victoria, 18 of which qualified on your list. I added another 3 landings today taking my numbers to 32 in Victoria & 20 off your list.. not that far behind you :) I enjoy seeing what you are doing
next: bush-flying the Australian outback in a cirrus
Love it! Fantastically flown, and so well put together!
Managed to get up in a PA28 Turbo Arrow yesterday (still in lockdown in the UK) It was nice but not as nice as the Cirrus! By far the best GA plane out there!
That moment at 8:10 just before breaking out of the clouds, editing gold and some truly amazing shots.
6:04 - VFR. Well.....
Great idea to fly to all airports in your state.
Definitely getting IFR when back in the saddle.
I was wondering where milkshake was, and then... 9:19
You definitely inspire the love of aviation.
Cockpit happy dance, skimming cloud tops tailwind too sense the speed all stuff of my dreams.
You were so happy then and there as was I.
Thx Stef.
All these videos make my day. thank you! Btw I don't have enough time to watch your video but I'm exited to watch it later
This needs to be made into a playlist to binge. Safe flying
Love waking up to a new video, seriously makes my day. Thank you for all the hard work that goes into them.
Thank you Chris, yes they're a lot of work to film and produce but it's great to see people enjoy watching them. Glad you enjoyed it.
You always have and always will find a way to make interesting videos for us no matter what is happening in your world or our world! Tks Stef

Loved this one too Stef!
Great idea for an adventure. 5:32 ouch...
Great video Stef, nice to see around Mildura.

Great to see you enjoying our Brownie Bar! Great video keep up the good work Stefan!
LOVE your brownie bars, great inflight snack. Thanks.
Hotham will be interesting to watch. My sister lives close and in the flightpath. Highest airport in Australia!
Maybe Hop Over To YMTG! Even Though Its In SA We Rarely Get The SR-22 Let Alone Many GA Aircraft
I’ve flown that VH-ECD that’s parking at Portland back in 2006 when it was still at Jandakot😄
Awesome, always nice to see aircraft you’ve flown.
Part of the #likebeforewatching club- what a great challenge! I had no idea Victoria even had that many airports, you learn something new everyday!
Ha, thanks Becster. I’m grateful for the support.
It's cool to see you landing at my home town of Portland you make me want to get my licence
Hi, Stefan, Nice flight, good music!
Awesome scenery there Stefan not too mention some serious IMC.
Look forward to your next one & that was some neat trick when you zoomed out on the GPS whereby the compass rose also rotated.
Stay safe & we are slowly coming out of lockdown here now so hoping at last to get some 🛩 in.
Thanks Sean, good to hear you're going to be able to fly again soon. All the best.
@@StefanDrury I’m in Australia and I’m not in Lockdown!
Excellent video you keep one up on yourself i’m not even sure if I should call this video or a documentary fit for broadcast

I thought you'd forgotten MILKSHAKE!!! Thankyou for remembering!! Better late thank never. Thankyou Stefan
Amazing video
Makes my day every time a new one comes out
love the insane effort put into this, fantastic keep it up
Great vid Stef! Will be following this closely as I have a group of friends keen for me to take them on flying adventures and this will be the perfect inspiration!
Awesome, yeah try your own Every Airport Challenge - enjoy!
Awesome challenge and fun to have in a plane!
Loved this! Nice job.

Always fun to see your videos Stefan🛸
I appreciate that, thanks.
Did you land at Horsham? Could have sworn I saw EYZ on approach the other day!
Seems to have a been awhile, glad to be watching your vids again - always entertaining
Love the video Stef👍
Pity your not going to do YLIL. I did see a SR20 out there Thursday.
Hey Stef, congrats on this - I think it’s a great initiative, and also a good chance to give regional Vic a greatly needed promotion.
Wondering if Lilydale Airport (YLIL) is on your list? It’s a public aerodrome.
Hello from Bendigo.
Love the video.
Love the vid is???
@@artyjaycayairlines Woops, i'll just amend that typo LOL
Wow what a mission lucky you like landings. Great video Stef
Thanks Darcy, appreciate that.
really wish I knew you was in Mildura would of loved to of met you
Loved this one. Glad to see some interesting weather and you handling it, That breakout was gorgeous! Thanks Stef~
Yeah that was a fun moment. Thanks Sturvin.
@@StefanDrury are we two from the same country?
Awesome video, and great music choices, I really enjoyed it :)
Nice one, Stef! These challenges look like great fun.
loving these series
Excellent video
3:08 we have 2021 already. Sometimes it feels like COVID has stopped the time 😄
Avalon is on the list but Avalon east during the air show isnt that a certified aerodrome?
This is a absolute masterpiece
nice video and great challenge. what map did you use to lot all of the airports and how did yo do that. cheers
Awesome Stef, Loving the content. Keep it up!
Thanks, will do!
@@StefanDrury I’m glad that people aren’t treating you bad as an Australian!
My wife's grandmother lives in Hopetoun. I'd love to be able to fly the family out there one day :)
In a way, its like taging along for the ride... Mildura... maybe a stop when one can travel?
Cool... I did a similar challenge in my country and landed in all 50 states!
That is awesome... love your videos
Thank you.
have you landed at the raaf base in point cook
This is very cool, make sure you do a montage with every airport at some stage!
Your video make my .. night ;) Thx. Hello from the other side of the world. :)
Hey Stef, when you land say Mildura how do you get the 10km into town. On occasions of us landing at similar empty airports there seemed no option but the local taxi company and many were ridiculous e.g. $50 each way
This is amazing! What a great idea
Original & interesting.
Great to see milkshake taking in the view.
What a amazing vid
HELLO
This is The best of your vid,awesome
Thanks, appreciate that.
Try doing this in my home state of Western Australia.
You should come to WA..... would take you a loooong time to land at all of ours lol
Ha, yes it would. I do love flying in WA though.
Amazing!
Thanks!
Hi Stefan Just wondering about the special level of 9000ft. As new to understanding IFR, was curious about level Cheers Gene
Hey Gene, IFR follows hemispheric levels so when heading West you should plan/fly even altitudes and odds for East. But as I was heading West and the clouds were giving me icing at 8,000 feet, I asked for “nonstandard” 9,000. ATC told me there was no conflicting traffic and as it was uncontrolled airspace I could fly at that level. I could’ve asked for 10,000 but I didn’t want to climb that high if I didn’t need to. Cheers, stef
@@StefanDrury thanks very much. I thought might be case
Where is my mate milkshake? What a great idea to keep the flying interesting you and us both.
Did you miss him ? Brief appearance but he was there.
She's there, you have to watch closely...
@@StefanDrury Spotted at around 9.25. Not sure how I missed Milkshake...........must have been an advert breaking in!!!!!
how much will you charge to fly two people from Essendon airport or Melb airport to Warracknabeal areodrome?
Thanks for your great content vids Stef. Question: do you have any issues with restarting after your quick hops? I often find it hard to restart with hot engine in a G3 TN...
Are you gonna cover whole australia like you did the victoria series ???
No, because it’s Australia and not australia
We truly live in a beautiful country.
Totally agree Robert.
VICTORIA BEST STATE
Great vid! What aircraft is that?
Thanks, it’s a Cirrus SR22.
Have you ever been featured on liveATC.com??
Random question. How do you pay landing fees at these super remote airports?
Should have stopped by Mount Gambier while you were down that way :( Thats where im from
At 8:52 is your left fuel cap unlocked?
No it's just a plate that you can clip a static line to when refuelling.
When your gonna do your around the world flight, are you going to Pakistan?
If in doubt, there is no doubt.
I hate these moments as well, when you just 50 50 on going ahead or not. If I am taking too long to decide I usually cancel my flight. But I am not instrument rated yet, and that plays a big part flying in VIC.
'If in doubt, there is no doubt' is a phrase that goes through my head sometimes. If you're a private pilot cancelling a flight is never a bad thing.
I hate Americans
