I've been flying since I was 16 and at age 19 flew around the world by myself in the same 1981 A36 Beechcraft Bonanza I still fly, becoming the youngest person ever to solo circumnavigate by aircraft.
Now, I'm sharing all kinds of aviation adventures with YOU! Ride along as we explore the world from the air and get a close up look at some of aviation's best flight experiences and destinations.

I retired with over 20,000 hours but still get a tingle when I see this stuff. Great series of videos guys
what apps do you guys use apart foreflight?

What did you fly and who did you fly for?
Great, I have just started my journey as a student pilot, going by the callsign One Bravo Tango. It's nice to meet you.
Crazy! I worked for almost 15 years in Luxembourg. DIK, LOL, Diekirch VOR. I got my FCL(Flight Crew License) in Luxembourg. I used to live right over the border in Germany outside the oldest city in Germany, Trier, over 2000 years old. Now I’m converting my EASA FCL to FAA PPL. Living in Clearwater, Florida after 31 years in German. I’m former USAF. Stay safe!
So nice to see my hometown Nuuk, and the fjords where me and family/friends go hunting. I study in another country, so this made my day. Thank you so much.
I soloed on Pearl Harbour day, 1972. I accumulated only about 20 hours in a Piper Cherokee 140. Life got in the way and I haven't flown since. So envious of your adventures and really enjoy your videos.
Great video. To solve the argument as to whether a Bonanza or a 210 is better just ask yourselves this. Would you rather sit in the sun and look at the wings or sit in the shade and look at the view.
In the Cessna you get to look at the wings and the view, and you are in the shade
Cessna wins
I prefer Cessna's myself, or at least any high-wing plane. With High-Wing planes the weight is supported under the wings where it should be for proper stabilization due to gravitational pull. With Low-Wing planes the weight is above the wings making for a top-heavy situation with the weight itself always wanting to flip the plane upside down to return the weight itself to the bottom of the supporting wing structure where it wants to be or should be, so trying to keep it on top of the supporting wing structure is generally continuous unnecessary maneuvers unconsciously performed by the pilot to keep that weight on top rather than allowing it to flip the plane upside down with the weight underneath where gravitational pull wants it to be. Oh Yes, I'm quite sure there will be many pilots especially those Low-Wing pilots who are so dead set upon being in love with and partial to their Low-Wing planes that they will do their best to refute this. But they never stop to look at it from a gravity pulling point of view. Oh, Yes, I respect their point of view, but it still isn't going to change my point of view. Besides have you (or anyone else for that matter), ever seen a parachute, or a para-glider with the Jumper or the cargo on top of the parachute, as it is descending, or a helicopter with the rotor blades upon the bottom? Never happen. Gravity will always win out in the end, usually with disastrous results. But, I salute those Low-Wing Pilots who insist upon continuously wanting to unconscionably fight to keep that weight above the supporting wing structure rather than let gravity have its way, it's their choice not mine. I've never parachuted in my life, or even used a para-glider. But if I chose to do so (which I ain't going to do), I'm not about to try and stand upon the top of the parachute or para-glider as it descends, I prefer that it supports me rather than me trying to support it.

Good comment
Hard to get under that wing on the 210 when the gear doesn't come down. 😂
The music stopping with the camera crash LMAOOO
Definitely worthy of TV, and better than some of the poor programming offered on TV. Thank you for taking us with you.
Single engine plane across vast oceans and the worst incident involves an SUV and a pile of rocks? Love this series! God bless you guys. This is an adventure of a lifetime. Thanks for including us.
Why must you bring religion in to this?
I love Iceland, Reykjavik and especially the Vatnajökull national park...loving this epic voyage. Thx.
Awesome Vid! One of my favorite things about aviation is the adventure of traveling. You nailed it with this video.
Thanks Steveo! Would be fun to travel in that new Kodiak, looks like a pretty sweet ride.
Especially the edit around the drone crash. :)
Aviation adds a whole new dimension to the adventure of traveling. One day it was a dream, now I have my pilot license.
50 years ago when I worked in a garage to get big tyres onto a rim we poured a little bit of petrol into the tyre, let it evaporate and then applied a match (held on the end of a long stick). There was a hell of a bang and the tyre was nicely seated on the rim.
I've flown over Greenland quite a lot, though at FL300+, and even from there the views are amazing. I recall wondering what caused the pollution flowing out of one of the fiords and realising as we got closer that it was thousands of icebergs.
Of course, you are crazy. Flying anywhere in that part of the world in a single piston engine aircraft, particularly over a lot of water, is braver than I would ever dare to be. Although I recall a colleague who joined us from Pilatus when flying twin jets direct across the ocean was a new idea asking what we were worried about. He had 99 single engine Atlantic crossings in his logbook. Mind you, that was a turboprop. My wife says if it doesn't have a toilet and a bar then she won't fly in it. I don't go quite that far myself.
It's a good thing someone is crazy enough and brave enough to make such a great video. Respect.
Matt. I am really enjoying this. I made 2 trips last year in the other direction from Tenerife to North Carolina via Madrid, Jersey, Wick Scotland Kulusuk, Sonderstrom Fjord, Iqaluit, Goose Bay, and Bangor. All in a C208 Grand Caravan. A mind boggling experience and your video captures the Greenland scenery SO well. Thanks
There is always one. Cannot fathom the left seat not donning a submersion suit. Risk management.
He is wearing one just not zipped all the way because his suit covers his fingers so he couldnt fly
Love the picture of the wheels retracting!!
This whole crossing was just so captivating I am now 100% convinced to do a pilot's license and buy my plane. Thank you!
All of the landings are BUTTER!
Good stuff Matt! Looking forward to flying together again soon! and maybe I will actually have my IFR ticket by then :P
Steve, you gotta stop saying that because you've been saying that for years and it hasn't happened! ;)
I am actually going to "IFR rehab" this weekend - I kid you not - I am booked for a 3 day workshop to cram for the written test - and even though the hotel it is at is just 20 mins from home, I have booked a room so that it forces me to stay focussed and avoid distractions. If it weren't for the fact that I have my multi engine flight test booked for next week, I'd be attempting the IFR written test on Monday. But I'll have to push that to after my multi engine flight test - all that to say - progress is being made to attack the biggest hurdle in my IFR training - facing the damned written test!
Good luck, sounds like you are indeed making progress! Keep us up to date on the beep boop r/flying!
Steve, keep those fucking chops sharp!
Just do it, don't be a sissy.
That’s all we hear from you.... The perpetual student pilot
I was just browsing across your channel, this is the most impressive video i have found on your channel. This is the kind of aviation journey that aviation enthusiasts dream of. It must have been a breathtaking and unforgettable journey with stunning views and a sense of accomplishment. Hats off to the pilot and crew for taking on such a remarkable flight!
I am loving these vids!! I’ve traveled the US in a new A36, PA46 and C182...plus our company jets before retirement. I have enjoyed every minute of this trip so far. I now putt around in a 46 Ercoupe 415C in Southern Oregon. Low and slow..open cockpit. You guys did an great job on the video and audio as well as just telling the story. Not to mention excellent airmanship. While the backseater sleeps.....
Young pilots doing a good job-flying like professionals.🛩
I enjoy a good hearted Airplane Comparison Discussion like most other. So, here is my 2 cents.
You know all that beautiful terrain and icebergs and Polar Bears, etc., that you saw? Well, if you were in the Bonanza, the wing would be in the way. That's why I fly high wings. :-)
Good Point.. Didn't even think of that..
I've always preferred low wings, but another benefit of the high wing is it keeps the sun off you in flight and the rain off you on the ground.
This. And in a pinch, you can toss a tarp over the wing and camp out in style, protected from sun or rain.
High wings are more stable in normal flight. However, the low wing is best when landing in high cross winds. High wings are great for picking out a place to land in an emergency. Therefore, an aero commander is the best of both worlds.
Matt, I have no idea where to begin on this one. Amazing for so many different reasons, especially the great editing. I'll just say thank you so very much for all you do for your viewers and GA. Oh...one more thing...I've never heard of the wind keeping the gear doors from closing on a Bonanza. I rest my case!
Norm K you’re welcome 🤨
Very interesting that three diff ppl on the same flight have such diff editing styles 👍🏾
Yeah, it's cool seeing much of the same footage in each of their styles..
Does JP have a channel?

Absolutely amazing, I am from Iceland and live in Canada, absolutely fun flying over greenland.
I'm pilot in Brazil and this visual is like a dream.
Awesome video,
It helps pilots in Brazil to learn the English language better.
Wonderful. Thanks for letting us ride along with you all.
Great video Matt! Keep it up, I love being part of your adventure and being able to see these awesome landscapes. This is really what dreams are made out of!
Thanks for showing the terrain outside of Reykjavik. This brought back memories for me since I spent one year in Iceland at a USAF Radar site on a mountaintop on the northeast corner of Iceland located on the Langanese Peninsula. Traveled in a 1953 Ford station wagon from Keflavik to Akureyri in June 1959. Our destination was the Radar site in Langanese, but we were snowed in and had to catch a flight the rest of the way. While at the Radar site, we acquired 3 Icelandic horses - I was able to explore a lot of that part of Iceland on horseback using an English saddle - pretty tricky going up and down the small mountains. I was 23 years old and the experience added a few years to me.
What a beautiful video flying over the mountains ice caps this is Gods country heaven on earth This is my dream to venture to Iceland on my bucket list I am drawn to the beauty of Greenland and Iceland
Amazing nothing I have seen before in my life THANK YOU from CANADA
Thanks for taking us on your epic trip
One of the best videos (let alone flying) I have ever seen on TH-cam. Great job guys. Really impressive and fun to watch.
Like you and others have said it " this is what dreams are made out of"!! Such an awesome and well done video, so damn captivating! The views, the landscapes, oh my! Thank you for such amazing content, keep it coming! Safe skies!!
Thanks, guys. Brought back memories of my 30-year ferrying career mainly on the northern route.
Fly safe and tailwinds,
John Templeton Smith
Wow! Just wow! What an adventure. Ty for sharing.
Fantastic! Didn't think I'd watch the entire set but it was so well done! This took a lot of work folks from the flying to working the drone & especially the editing of tons of footage! Bravo guys! My hat is off to the editor! Great music selections also! Well done by all involved!
That's absolutely beautiful
How do you understand what they're saying on the radio. I'd be up there crying.
Black Warrior Lures super late to the party, but you understand what people say on the radio because you already know what they are going to say. When you are a trained pilot, you know how both sides of the conversation are going to go before they happen. You just need to get the numbers right.
Same way cops and security guards communicate- codes.
It seems to be like pharmacists reading prescriptions. There's context and certain expected things (as xsoltis mentioned)
SAME
xsoltis also, you eventually just... hear it. It makes sense eventually. It’s hard to describe, but it’s kinda like learning a language, if that makes sense. But take that with a grain of salt, I just listen to ATC.
Holy Mother Of God. I've got to get to Greenland and Iceland before I kick the bucket. Thank you for this incredible vid. Also - It would be great to get a flight plan in the description.
Almighty God has no Mother, because He is the creator of everything.
@@habibiihayaty216 So maybe he created a mother.
@@rastapete100 exactly
With all you have seen in the past few years, it's really saying something that this part of the flight had so many beautiful memories. Really enjoyed the video.
Amazing to see how JP grew in confidence as this trip continued :) the stress must have been phenomenal you all did a great job.
Dang, every landing is this series is butter smooth.
Thanks for makiing it possible to experience this amazing adventure, albeit vicariously.
The big Cessna is a thing of beauty. I have very few hours in the 210, but lots in a 182RG. Fabulous GA aircraft.
I flew a Twin Comanche from London to Boston in the summer of 1983, when I was in my late 20's. It remains one of my most memorable adventures, this video brings back many of the memories. The biggest difference is the avionics, non of stuff in the 210 you're flying. The most advanced thing we had was an early Loran-C.
Why are you not yet a top TH-camr? This is amazing! Exciting, entertaining, educational, epic, beautiful. Perhaps 30 minutes is a long time for typical video? IDK. I'm not complaining. Your filming, your editing, your adventures are absolutely top notch. I hope you continue to find even more epic places to explore.. I traveled a lot when I was younger, and now all my expeditions are purely intellectual which I enjoy just as much. But I still get to live vicariously through this fantastic channel.
This is a stunning video anyway. Having a plane and being able to fly anywhere in the world, is freedom at its purest.
Incredible.
"pitot heat on" Good to see lessons learned from past experience. =D
This is magic. The life these guys are living just can't be true!!!!
Funny when the quad goes down and the music stops, then it rises back up, and the music starts back up again. Looks like one SPECTACULAR trip.
I'm enjoying the world flight videos. I'm also glad Matt was there part of the way. He did videos of this trip for pilots.
That Icelandair DC3 was absolutely awesome!!!!
LOVE GA flying! You guys are doing a great job showing all the possibilities!
Matt you and your teams efforts to bring general aviation to the general public are applauded. Still a little concerned with operating a single engine over whater operations! Best.
Beautiful landing in Reykjavik, Iceland. Very enjoyable video. Thanks
Just came upon this while browsing away and I'm hooked! Great series so far! Can't wait to see the rest.
19:40 All the scenic beauty, the flight of a lifetime, and the guy in back wants to watch a video! 26:51 Another once in a lifetime setting.
I can't wait to fly this route on MSFS 2020 when it comes out.
I flew over Greenland in MSFS 2020 last night and it looked like crap. Torn textures, random mountains popping in and lakes/rivers in the sky.
@@davewhite4895 That's because MSFS20 SUCKS!!!!! I got rid of it within a few weeks. Never realistic, or proper flying. Just more like a game than a sim. I'll stick with XP11.
I have been watching your whole trip and I figured I better tell you you guys have just put out one of the best videos I have seen so far. Good job and good flying. I've been wanting to do the same thing. Great job and good luck.
This is a good one for sure. I often fly Seattle- Tokyo or Seattle - Seoul. Those are spectacular as well, right over the Alaska coast, Bering Sea and Kamchatka.
Guys, this is so cool. I am thoroughly enjoying your adventure, Pilot and Co-Pilot are awesome and Cool Hand Louis in the back Vlogging and whatsapping........Sweet fuh days boys. I am an ex UK - Middle-East overland truck driver so I understand adventure. Cant wait for the rest of the episodes.
The most over water I ever did was 1hr. At one point I lost focus of land. If felt like I could hear every little noise,rattle,thump on that plane that I never heard before. You young fellas got some moxie. Love the video!!
Loved seeing those classic planes.
Amazing experience it's more than just a trans Atlantic flight! That's a one in a lifetime deal. From the epic view onboard to all those beautiful things like waterfalls, the old Castle and much more wow!
Wonderful work, guys! Fascinating to watch-a "road trip" for disciplined pilots. It's crazy to think you can take a Cessna over to Europe...amazing! Only suggestion would be to add a map graphic in the video every once in awhile to show your route and location. I'd love to know where these views you're taking in are actually located...👍 Just gorgeous...thanks!
I watched these films of these lads flying from the USA to Europe and decided that if ever I get a spare £20,000 I will learn to fly. I really would love to do what these blokes did Awesome!
Thank u so much Matt...this stuff is truly waking my heart up, its all @ Le Couer...............
It looks so awesome in flying weather. My Dad was born in Bonavista Bay Newfoundland and while it was similar to what you are witnessing, you would want to see it during their winter....snow between July-April and temps of -40 most nights. I lasted two years and now enjoying the constant summer of the Rainforest in Northern Queensland. Love your videos, very captivating. Thanks.
Amazing scenery. Thank you for giving us a 28 min video leaving a lot of the detail in.
Dude! Your videos rock! Seriously.
I’m planning on learning to Paramotor next summer. And to eventually do a Paramotoring trip to Iceland and Greenland one day. The spectacular scenery in this video has totally reinforced my plans!
My dad was a light aircraft pilot when I was a child. Usually Cessna 152s, and my first ever flight was with him flying it.
These videos are bringing all the memories back!
I love this video. Really inspiring. Educational yet entertaining. Has got to be one of the best GA flying videos out there. Awesome.
Loved this when you were with & Louis was great but your filming ect is more superb Matt. Thanks so much for the extra work you put in.
Very nice greasy landing on packed gravel in Greenland and another nice greasy landing in Iceland.
Very cool guys! Here is a little tip for you with any future tire issue. Use a ratcheting tie down strap next time by placing it around the entire middle section and ratchet it tight. It will squeeze the tire tightly enough to add the air to inflate. As soon as it seals, stop inflating, and release the strap. And then, finish adding air to appropriate pressure.
"This is what dreams are made out of..."
Cheese. It's cheese.
Thank you for the spectacular views, I’ve flown over Iceland several times but it never looks as beautiful and detailed from an airliner.
Great show Matt !
That hike was EPIC!
Always a smooth landing.
Man these videos are amazing!! Awesome work! I want to see Iceland now, that place is beautiful.
It amazes me how these little European sea side villages manage to be so flipping beautiful .
Great video Matt. You 3 make a great team. I’ve been watching the videos over on Louis’ YT as well. The tech and pilot perspective you bring is very interesting. Thanks!
Oh my good. You are in Paradise Iceland. So beautiful. So great place.
You have no idea how bad I want to to this! I love the 210, love Iceland, so damn I’m jealous of this!
this is turning out to be the best vlog series I've ever seen
amazing video, amazing places... absolutly enjoyable ... A Pro vid... Thanks!! So nice pictures, and really... I was flying with you guys...
We've loved the teamwork you guys demonstrate! An inspiration to young men. The mature masculine is a composite of: King, Warrior, Prophet/Priest, and Lover. The King "shadow" demonstrates adventure and dominion of Nature and Self.
Dude this was some of the coolest yet! I love the plugs for what you can do with GA as well. I have been following this flight from 3 different channels now. I love the way everyone works together. I am happy for you all and what you are being able to enjoy and accomplish!
Awesome...loved the views from where few get to see. Interesting to see difference from Louis view and thanks for the explaining at reykjavik. Thanks for letting us come along..Great on so many levels!
Crazy good cinematography guys! Fantastic job!
You guys are incredibly credible! I enjoyed watching your videos, good quality. Best wishes in your adventures and future variables.
VERY COOL.
Terrific shots. Thanks for bringing us along on your epic journey. Now, this is why we have the www and TH-cam!
This is so sick
This is a really cool video, and your arrival in Scotland is also excellent (it's where the cool kids live). You capture the whole point of flying- the exploration. Well done
wow !! You guys are amazing !!
Fantastic video guys.
Epic is right! The freedom you get from having a PPL. Must have been a truly mind blowing experience.
Dude in the backseats having the time of his life 😂🤣🤣
Perfection! Absolutely love the way you document! Makes me want to book a flight to right now too go travel again!!!
