    This is such a great video, and helpful to those of us who are contemplating flying over water. I love the flight and a 150 and island hopping to boot. Definitely a lot different than my plan to fly from Philly to Martha’s Vineyard! Nicely done, and I learned some things to consider in my current flight planning to Martha’s Vineyard. Fly well, brother!

    Great video. Brought back memories of my early flying days. I trained for my PPL in a Cessna 150 with tail no. N22306. I did my training on the east central coast of FL. The type of flight you two took was always on my bucket list. Never did it. Glad you had fun. Looks like a blast.

My trip would be a bit longer - from the San Francisco Bay Area, but man - it will be a trip of a life time! Great job and great edit!

    I recommend getting a personal GPS locator and putting it on your life jacket. If you have to ditch, set it off. They’ll know where you’re at in less than a minute. Cheap insurance. I keep one in my plane close at hand all the time.😁😎

    Great flight! You helped bring back a great memory. I flew my 1976 C150M from LA to southwest Florida. I was delivering 3723V to the new owner. I flew solo for the 22 1/2 hour flight. In 2006 AOPA Pilot was running articles on great budget airplanes and used my plane as the example aircraft. The day we did the photo shoot the weather was great over Long Beach. Then the marine layer came in. I have some great aerial pics of the plane on top of the marine layer. Sadly the plane was later sold to an FBO and rented out. A few years ago I learned the the plane crashed on landing and was totaled. Thankfully no one was hurt badly. I miss her! I should never have sold her.

    • @Happ465
      @Happ465 3 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @ Wow. That is the tail number. The guy I sold it to told me he had traded it for a DA40. The person that took ownership of it rented it out when it was totaled. At least that’s what he told me. I also looked it up and it says it is flying in Delaware. Click on the link the picture is of the plane without the wheel pants. I sold it to a guy in South West Florida. It’s good to hear someone is flying it. She was in incredible shape when I sold it. Thanks for the update!
