- Part 2 of my ferry flight in a Cessna 210 from the United States to Tanzania where I get lost on the 1900 mile leg from Gabon to Tanzania. You can check out part one where I lost my alternator over the Sahara here- • Cessna 210 Has Electri...

Take a shot every time he pronounces Gabon as GabOOn
I'm from MinnesOOta!
just started reading you book great stories thank you I am recreating some of the flights in MSFS 2020 on twitch
Glad you like them!
Hey Kerry, love the stories and the Airport Identifier of the Airport in Gabon. Seems apropos
One observation is that the sound level seems very low. I have everything turned to max to listen. Might check that for your next video
Noted!
Thank God I wasn’t lost in N2103S but it is an awesome picture 😅
You flew over Lake Tanganyika at some point that night, likely in those thunderstorms. That would be an interesting technicality, except that the terrain east of the lake is mostly below 3500' MSL, but just east of the lake there is a substantial ridge up to around 7000 to 8000 feet. Following the ground through there could have led to some excitement as the terrain jumps from 3000' MSL to the ridge at 8000 MSL. There's a gap along your direct route but given your circumstances, it would have been dumb luck if you had flown through it and missed the sharp ridge. Climbing into the thunderstorms put you above that, but it sounds like a hell of a lucky coincidence...
Any plans to fly /practice with Connor again? Always fun to learn from your hand flying skills, so might be an idea to do those vids with him again. Greetings from Europe ❤
I've got a video with Connor coming soon, maybe tomorrow!
I've been waiting for part 2 for what seems like forever 😂
Stay tuned, more to come!
Waiting for part 3
Read this in your book but it was entertaining listening you tell the story in your own words. Keep the videos coming. Looking forward to the next one. Cheers from Las Vegas, NV. CFI SEL (+2800 TT).
Glad you enjoyed it! I've got lots of stories coming that are not in the book.
Thank you for not relaying any of these stories to me when you'd call with trip updates!😟
"How'd the flight go today? Pretty smooth, nothing out of the ordinary."
wow quite the adventure - interesting beyond what you could have imagined I am sure. Hindsight it was fantastic....going through it was anything but. Good for you Kerry. Great piloting/navigational skills.
Just bought both books on Amazon!!! Saw you on So There I Was.. I had forgotten that I used to watch you on TV. I can’t wait to read your books.
Love it!
Great stories
Glad you like them!
Wow! another great story from the crazy man himself.
Thanks for listening
Did you get paid for the last leg?
Back we got paid per trip, so we flew till we were done.
My gosh how many times this video gonna be re-uploaded? I'm glad it is in my algorithm but sure would like to hear a NEW story from Kerry!
It IS a new story! It's part 2 of the trip.
You probably saw it on Taking Off or another channel like I did BUT I enjoyed hearing it again!
This is part two I believe
@@KerryDMcCauley perhaps put a large "Part 2" in the thumb nail
