Hey JP, I hope you’re doing alright. I saw an Oshkosh article saying you guys made which is awesome! Congrats! I just miss the uploads and wanted to check in on you. Hope you’re doing well, fly safe.
Finally caught up with all your videos, including your around the world trip with Fun With Louis. What an amazing pilot you are. Can't wait to see more of this trip. Cheers from Canada.
Those are Sargasso Weed patches. A sailor's nightmare. Best to try to avoid them if you can! You have to sail through them if they aren't too thick, if you run your engines while going through them they get sucked into the intakes and clog them up! Ditto on the Watermaker if you're lucky enough to have one.
@@dennystoppenhagen7079 very interesting stuff, never heard of this before Looked up some images and i could easily imagine this being a huge issue clogging everything.
JP mate the fact that you only have 111k subs baffles me, your content is awe inspiring and the production quality is mental! And more people need to see this stuff, honestly this stands above even David Attenborough himself, keep it up! -random internet guy
randomly found the series, i need next expisode... doh i am super glad that everyone landed safely. This happened months ago, so i am guessing finding the time to go through footage and making the video is time consuming, looking forward to that next episode.
Great flight! Great feeling to see land again after so many hours in a single engine over the Atlantic. I flew from Praia in a 182 to Nadal, Bresil. Incredible feeling to acomplish this crossing. Congratulation!
Thank you JP for sharing such powerful moments with us. Bravo for the feat, bravo for your very high quality videos, and bravo for the emotion that you communicate
As a pilot, a mechanic, and a builder all I can say is this crossing is nothing short of epic. I would like to know of the three aircraft which one had the least amount of gas once they reach their destination, thanks for sharing.
@@cattnipp I'm actually an engineer, graduated from St Louis University four year degree. I've worked for Learjet, Gulfstream aerospace, and Fairchild aircraft I have over 300 drawings to my credit and at least that many FAA accepted certification compliance reports.
@@cattnipp who cares if I'm an engineer or not, I think the fact that I'm a certified mechanic and certified pilot entitles me to a certain amount of respect. As a matter of fact about 1/3 of the engineers that I meet don't impress me whatsoever.
Would love to see the rest of the trip. I live right beside Oshkosh and go to the AirVenture every year. If you come this year I would love to meet you and buy you all a beer at Oshkosh. If you are interested. Keep it comin!!!
Vid title caught my eye. Skipped thru to get to the prop failure part. Glad things worked out. Based on the segments I watched it appears ETP (Equal Time Point) wasn't discussed preflight and wasn't calculated repeatedly during the flight. Flew four engine equipment on long overwater segments and always had an up to date ETP.
Imagine looking up from a ship in the middle of the Atlantic and seeing two little aircraft slowly traversing the expanse above. More people have walked on the moon than seen that sight from below I'd imagine.
Oh, yeah "There are ways to work around it." Like install a knew prop while gliding. Thankfully variable pitch props don't fail to "Feathered". The strong spring gives you a fixed pitch prop. Maybe not most efficient buy you stay airborne.
Oh my Lord guys! That was incredible and so lucky! Even the beginning of a propeller failure is almost guaranteed to be an absolute ditch! I grew up with my father working on Old warbirds I got to go up in a two-seat version of a P-38 Lightning! And just as we were coming around to make our approach for landing the left propeller part of the aircraft! Mind you I was 12 years old! The pilot landed safely safely but it was the scariest ride I've ever had! Parts of the propeller came to the fuselage between me and the pilot went through the canopy and destroyed most of the radio network! We had to land blind. No radio no communication just helped the god somebody didn't run into us! Propeller failures are absolutely frightening whether it's a twin-engine or single-engine especially over the ocean in the light aircraft I salute you guys kiss the ground please
Could you explain the difference between the prop you (JP) chose, Jame’s prop, and why you chose the prop you decided on - it’s pros and cons in a future video? Hope your health is doing well.
He did the right things, and thankfully all worked out well on that occasion. An engine failure would have been really bad, but at least you can often keep flying with a prop issue.
I once flew a DC3 from Sao Palo to Seattle with only ADF for navigation. We also stopped in Barbados. The DC3 had been previously owned by Varig airlines and had crystals for their particular radio operation so the only usable freq that we had was 121.5 which pissed off all the controllers in fact MIA told us to get lost. This was 50 years ago.
Thanks for a very interesting video. Curious about one thing. Was there a reason why you didn't consider going to Fernando de Noronha from Cape Verde instead of Barbados? It appears to be about 800 nm closer. A longer journey overall but a lot less time over water.
@JP Thrilling video! I am curious, why you didn't cross the Atlantic from Freetown Sierra Leone to Natal, Brazil. That would have been 1571nm, or 25% less than the 2100nm that you made from Praia to Barbados. And from Natal, Brazil, its almost always overland to Oshkosh, over mostly populated areas.
Is the prop an Ivoprop? I have one on my Rans S-20 and it makes me glad that I have done a lot of off field landings in gliders. Brushes are almost on the preflight checklist.
JP, of course you know better than I do but weren't you closer to some of those Atlantic islands (Ilha do Sal, Fernando de Noroha, Penedo Sao Paulo) and so on? Landing in these places was not an option?
Cool vid, if anything too short! Maybe give some explanation about what happened to that propellor in your next vid? Funny segue into the ad, I find no disrespect in it cos after all you've got to eat too.
Glad all turned out well. The title made it sound like his prop flew off or the engine quit or something and I was expecting to see how the emergency landing would happen or if it could.
2187 Miles *Over* The Atlantic? I was not aware that these planes were capable of climbing to that elevation. That's higher than the International Space Station.
Hey JP, I hope you’re doing alright. I saw an Oshkosh article saying you guys made which is awesome! Congrats! I just miss the uploads and wanted to check in on you. Hope you’re doing well, fly safe.
Copy that for me
@@terrycrooke1 he postet something on his insta. all good.
For me they are the best aviation videos that exist on the net. Planned, yes; but with a touch of real adventure. Congratulations JP.
More than a tuch if you ask me😅
You ever going to finish these vids of this trip??
You didn’t read the news?
What news
@@noahmoore1974what happened? Did they make it?
Well they made it to Oshkosh on July 27th last year, according to the AOPA website.

Been waiting way to long for this! LETS GO! Production level is MAX!
Sincerely hope you'll update the rest of the vids from this series, it has been so awesome to watch!
THIS is exactly what makes TH-cam so great. Next episode cannot come soon enough! Hope you're doing well JP
6 months and we still waiting haha
7 now@@sheldondmanson

G'day JP. Any news of the next episode? Your videos are such great quality and they also sparked my interest in aviation so thank you mate.
Proof that camera man never dies. So glad you all made it out safe.😅
man what a journey, glad James is ok! If you look closely on 13:18 there are brown spots on the ocean, i wonder what are those

I’m a private pilot and watch all kinds of aviation channels. This is the first time i saw this and Yes Sir I subscribed. Excellent video buds👍
Congrats JP, and company. Looking forward to the next leg of your journey.
amazing, well done guys. The anxiety just watching was intense.
Wow. I was so worried when you guys hadn't posted for a while. So glad all three aircraft made it. Love your videos, JP. Post again soon!

The city is called Natal, in Brasil
The Cessna 182 is one hell of an aircraft. I would feel safer in a 182 than in a Sling.
Some tense moments, those pauses on the radio before hearing responses giving goosebumps. Excellent editing!
Thanks for taking us on your wonderful adventure, it is an absolute joy to watch
Cape Verde to Martinique took me 24 days solo in a small sailboat. At least i could make endless cups of tea! Talk about putting faith in machinery!
Thank you JP for sharing such powerful moments with us. Bravo for the feat, bravo for your very high quality videos, and bravo for the emotion that you communicate
Thank you...JP your production level is epic! Thank you for sharing this journey!
OUTSTANDING! JP you are inspiring many future aviators! Keep up the great production
Well done team! What a lesson on sticking together, staying calm and following procedure!
Everyone stayed together, everyone stayed cool and reacted with the appropriate concern, that is a true team! Sweet video.
Crazy courage. Gotta trust the plane, your skills, and hope for decent weather. Aaand no bathroom breaks. Lol wow.

It cant get much cooler that this! how beautiful are these series.
I know nothing about aviation but have been looking forward to this next episode for weeks!
Me an Ade pop up at 13:31 when they landed here in Barbados - fame at last;)
As a 915 Tsi owner, I'd be interested to know details of the problem and the fix for the prop failure
Could you explain the difference between the prop you (JP) chose, Jame’s prop, and why you chose the prop you decided on - it’s pros and cons in a future video?
Hope your health is doing well.
I live south of Oshkosh, in Wisconsin. I'll wave as you fly overhead! Have a safe trip.
Great video. Had my attention the entire time 👍. I been doing Factor meals for 6 months now, they are a game changer on meal prep!
He did the right things, and thankfully all worked out well on that occasion. An engine failure would have been really bad, but at least you can often keep flying with a prop issue.
Dude, I am just now joining this journey and am fully caught up. I can't wait to see this continue! Would love to shake your hand at Oshkosh.
Yikes! Had me sweating there! So very glad everything turned out okay. Fantastic series, looking forward to the next post!
Loving this content, hope a new episode is coming soon!!!
I got to see your plane at Airventure. I like that tan paint. When are you going to do your next round the world flight?
Ah good to know they have made it. I was wondering because there was no video coming.
Is there any updates on the final legs?

Not quite but close@@jmfda00
I love following you on this adventure, Bru. So cool and beautifully done. x
Love you JP such an adventurous knowledgeable and just all round champion thanks for sharing your adventures ❤
These are always an immediate watch for me and the footage is so epic!
I'll say it again, JP; Your production is best in show! No competition!
This is day 5. Shows a 7. Glad that prop held out. Great video.
Glad the adventure continues and everyones doing fine.
This took a long time to upload and make and loke always it turns out amazing🎉
fantastic! i just wish someone would take me on a adventure like this i can only dream, well done JP good luck
such a shame the videos stopped but I'm guessing your health problems came back so where ever you are I hope you safe and getting better.
Love your series. Only found them yesterday so this new episode is just lovely! Ek geniet dit!
I’ve done several trans-Altantics at 11-15knots and would love to fly small airplanes like this sometime!
160 knots sounds pretty nice doesn't it?
Awesome awesome! / thanks so much for sharing your adventures. Can't wait for the next one.
badass af! crossed the atlantic on a single engine!! great videos JP!
JP AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME FLY SAFE. LOVEED THE WORLD 🌎 FIGHT
ALWAYS A PLEASURE WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS.
JP MUCH RESPECT 🙏 TO YOU.
AN AWESOME AVIATOR..
So when are we going to get to see the rest of the videos from the trip?
Glad that you are back
I realy love your channel and saw every video on it!
I hope you are doing allright and looking forward to future videos :)
Just curious. Why didnt you wear the immersion suits like the previous ocean crossing?
When is the new vid coming?
Thanks for a very interesting video. Curious about one thing. Was there a reason why you didn't consider going to Fernando de Noronha from Cape Verde instead of Barbados? It appears to be about 800 nm closer. A longer journey overall but a lot less time over water.
There are several restrictions about flying to Noronha, the plane staying overnight is not allowed, for example
Just found this series, would love to see more!

Brilliant video! What an adventure.
Nice one, okes! Dunno how or why this came up.in my feed but I chuffed that it did....well done! Lekker!
oh man... i would be SO worried. glad yall made it safe

That was nerve wrecking. The only comfort I had watching this was the thought that, If something happened, the title would have been different.
Also, beautiful airplane man! Keep it blue side up!
Glad all turned out well. The title made it sound like his prop flew off or the engine quit or something and I was expecting to see how the emergency landing would happen or if it could.

Great job keep flying
2187 Miles *Over* The Atlantic? I was not aware that these planes were capable of climbing to that elevation. That's higher than the International Space Station.
He meant 2187 miles into the flight,,, distance traveled since Takeoff
Lmao u cant be for real 💀
Just needs a few cans of air
OMG! ❤ You make jokes that everyone can understand! Very funny!
Yikes
Those small aircraft can cross the ocean? Wow, I'm amazed...
Was worried you had stopped but good to know you are safe
Been waiting so long. 🎉 great editing!
I reckon you are just one level below Lindbergh.(He had no nav aids) Happy flying man. All the best.
Graciously thanking you for your efforts.
