Family Trip Across America in a Piper Cherokee Private Airplane | EP 7 Finale’ IFR

Welcome back - Day 10 EpicTrek 2021 - Finale'
One simple objective today - make it home
We got grounded yesterday by the remnants of a hurricane
Overnight it’s weakened and turned east
So we slept in this morning to buy us some time
No cool take-off views or major sightseeing
Just a brief view of the Great Salt Plains in north-central OK
Before picking up our IFR clearance in the air
Then in & out of clouds +dodging convective activity all day
We fly through the remnants of the L west of KSTL
Sort of a getting an idea what flying through “the eye” of a hurricane
is like if we were a “Hurricane Hunter”
Closer to home things get more serious…
We’ll definitely be shooting an IFR APP into KASW
RNAV 9 KASW via direct JIDNA down to personal minimums
+ swirly winds, should be a fun day doing that pilot scchhhtttuuuff
Come on along!

That was an EPIC trek!!

[@6ZeroAlpha]

yes...maybe too much trek? I think my family was ready to be done the last few days... lol :)

[@gordonfeliciano4315]

Done like a pro. Nice approach and landing.

[@6ZeroAlpha]

thank you sir!

[@bengreen9640]

Really enjoyed the series!! Can’t wait to see what’s next!

[@6ZeroAlpha]

Thank you sir - more to come!

[@brandfatherIan]

Epic and inspirational in equal measure. Great content. Thanks for sharing.

[@6ZeroAlpha]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@alonzoj.107]

Thanks for us along. Excellent IFR approach and landing! Many more safe flights and tailwinds!

[@6ZeroAlpha]

Glad you enjoyed it, many thanks!

[@brentkincaid4364]

Wow, what an adventure, I'm sure exhaustion and sense of accomplishment all rolled into one big ball! Interesting perspective with the cloud landing, you don't see that often and certainly tightens the screws a bit. Very cool!

[@6ZeroAlpha]

Yes, thx! You can see the "let down" at the end with my shoulders, that is real, not acting, and exactly what you said. Tough day despite the video making it look "easy".

[@michaelwallick5547]

Hey Brian, I need my grass mowed and a truck also! ;)

[@6ZeroAlpha]

lol... making sure I train him well!

[@Mkluthe]

Great series! I’m looking forward to by XC with my family in the future

[@6ZeroAlpha]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@beardysimpilot6732]

This was awesome man 🤘 came across your videos today. Watched the whole trip. Great footage and detailed explanations throughout your flights. I look forward to more! Cheers from England 🍻

[@6ZeroAlpha]

Welcome aboard!

[@5holeaviation]

Nice low ifr approach. I could tell that one got you a little anxious and I don’t blame you but nice job.

[@6ZeroAlpha]

a bit - never been in the soup that long before, almost 30 mins from 9k down to break out ~1000 AGL, and it was my first time actual IMC w/my family onboard adding to the stress level.

[@CreepinCreeper145]

Everyone within a 2 mile radius stayed clear of your prop with that shout LOL! Nice Cherokee Six!

[@6ZeroAlpha]

yes I hope so, love @lewdixaviation!! thanks for stopping by and the nice comment, she is a beautiful and trusty ol' bird, we love it.

Do you use an external camera mount?

[@6ZeroAlpha]

Yes, I like the Nflightcam ball mount, but there several other types out there
