    Heard this before and read about it in his book, “Ferry Pilot” which I highly recommend. Love hearing his stories. I really liked one of his businesses, named…Skerry Air, if I recall. 👍🏽👍🏽

    His book was great, but it's even more fun hearing him tell the story in person!

    So much respect for pilots before GPS... So much more skill and consistent focus needed!

    Always enjoy the stories of ferrying aircrafts around the world, is too bad they don't make that show anymore, (as far as I know, that is). 🤔👍 🇨🇦

      It was over dramatised I hear.... that's according to Kerry and some of the other people in it.
