    Andere TH-camr hätten einen 10-teiler draus gemacht. Sehr ruhige und souveräne Art zu fliegen. Keine Ahnung ob dies schon lange Jahre beruflicher background war.
    Die spektakulärsten Aufnahmen des Ruth Glacier, die ich je gesehen habe.
    Vielen Dank für diesen Film.

    Wow, Wow, Wow! So nice! What an adventure and brilliant shots! Crossing of the Atlantic and Greenland, then the Northwest Territories, Alaska... 😎 Especially the shots of the Ruth Glacier bring back wonderful memories for me. I was allowed to fly over it - but as a passenger. Best regards from Germany (Berchtesgadener Land) and always a good and safe flight! Berni

    Thanks for sharing your exciting air adventure!! I love flying and lived next to Montgomery Field airport as a young teen and went flying with friendly pilots every day. I live in Buenos Aires and am marriend with a beautiful Argentine woman. We are both English teachers and have many eager students to learn my native language. One of my dear friends just got his pilot's license and I hope to go flying with him soon. God bless you! Fly with the Angels!! Bye for now, Greg and Lau!

    • @skyrunner1818
      @skyrunner1818  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I don´t have a list and probably never produce one. But - 1365 USG of fuel used, multiply that by estimated average cost of $7 per Gal plus about $ 2000 for landing fees, handling, overflight permits, parking, ATC charges, facility fees and whatever. No fixed costs included so the sum is about $ 12.000. Hope this helps and - don´t tell my wife !!

  • @Mytaig
    @Mytaig ปีที่แล้ว

    Do you have any guidance for someone that wishes to do the same? Where can someone go to learn about the permits needed? What weather and navigation products do you recommend? As a 787 pilot that flies in these same area of the globe I am very impressed and inspired by your journey. Thank you.

    • @skyrunner1818
      @skyrunner1818  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Flying 787s - very cool. At least you know the routes and areas from up high. For me it was many sources which I had and puzzled it together. Reading the Atlantic Manual is a good start but following all the rules and recommendations there and you never go. The local AIPs are another source. But best is to talk or communicate with pilots who did actually fly there - they have the most valuable infos at hand. I used mostly windy,com and weatheronline.com.uk and of course the aviation weather reports you are familiar with. For planning I subscribed to foreflight, a very powerful navigation app. BTW permits you only need for experimental airplanes on this route, any other regular registered airplane doesn´t need one.
