This was a really full and fun day of flying, and I’m glad we got to stop in Toronto and hang out with Steve. He’s edited around 20 Aviation101 videos from 2018 to 2020, and he’s done a FANTASTIC job! The editing load has been back on me since then (he got busy, I got busy, and we fell off the collaborative groove). I have no doubt we’ll work on film projects together again, though! Now onto Part 7. 🤓
Awe man, I wish I could have met you! I saw my 'ol home right at the shoreline as you were flying! And in the same neighborhood is Steve Thorne of Flightchops, hope you had the chance to meet him!
I wish all controllers sounded like the guy when you left Toronto. He annunciated and spoke clearly, but concisely. WOW I could understand him! What a concept!!
Josh, technically you should have filed a flight plan. In Canada even VFR flights of more than 25 nm require either a flight plan or flight itinerary with a responsible person.
Just to expand on this a little, US aircraft flying in Canada must comply with CDN regs unless they conflict with US law. So, over 25 NM in Canada you must file a flt plan and that does not violate US law. Equally, a Canadian aircraft in the US must comply with CDN regs as long as they do not conflict with US law. A Canadian aircraft must file a flt plan to go more than 25nm in the US even though US law doesn't require it. I flew the Sault - Toronto route last October in clear blue skies and it US breathtaking. Love the channel.
As a Canadian I do hope you guys come back for a longer stay . So glad you enjoyed your time here but there is so much here to see and appreciate. Hope you return soon. By the way love the channel
Brought such a big smile to my face to see Steve taking his first flight! ❤ Steve, thanks for making Josh look like he knows what he’s doing (ha ha). Great work! Josh and Chelsey, glad you took some time to decompress! Thanks for sharing all of this. I love your videos!
I love the intimacy you bring to the industry. You showed it very well with Steve’s story. I’ve followed your channel for years, and I’m proud to see how far you’ve taken your craft (the plane and the videos). From a fellow Texan, thank you!
As a low-time VFR pilot who flies in WNY (SDC is my home base), I have thought about doing the Niagara Falls trip multiple times, but never pulled the trigger. After seeing your footage, I HAVE to do it now! I'm loving this series.
Josh and Chelsea. Really, really enjoyed this video, after watching part 5. I am Canadian :-) and I reside in Kingston (CYGK) about 120 miles east of Toronto. Started flying after retiring, just before Covid, and the latter put me about 2 years behind schedule. I soloed about 2 months ago and have a few hours solo since. Weather has been a frustrating challenge this spring, slowing me down, but that’s part of the business. Looking forward to progressing. Interesting observation. Before you commented on the scenery during base and final into Billy Bishop with Steve, I was thinking the very same. Been to Toronto many times, but never from that perspective. Wow! Sure did enjoy watching your professionalism and competency, while flying in the several busy airspaces. Your experience shows. Take good care both of you, and stay safe! Craig Clarke, Kingston, Ontario
Wow. The was a awesome vlog. Josh i have been enjoying you series. The flight over Niagara Falls was so cool. I am glad Steve got to fly N80991.Seeing the smile on his face. Keep them coming.
After watching for 10 years, hearing that you now have an editor is such a relief! I have never posted any material to You Tube because i just don’t have the time. Very nice of you to treat him to a Discovery Flight! Keep up the Great Work! I wonder what your channel will look like in 10 more years! Thanks for all the hours of pleasurable viewing! 73
He does! He edited probably about 20 videos, but we haven’t collaborated in almost two years. He got busy, I got busy, and we haven’t coordinated our joint effort since then. It’s been back to me for the last couple of years, but I’m sure we’ll work together again!
Awesome video and welcome to my playground! Indeed Billy Bishop/City Centre is my favourite to land at - lots of action, but the scenery is indeed spectacular. Short final can get squirrelly with all the winds whipping through the buildings and the Dash-8s buzzing around -- but you both did a great job! Hilarious to see my house from some of these shots as you flew west along the lakeshore. Glad you got a Falls tour in as well - next time you're up, you should do it during the evening, the Falls & city are lit up beautifully!! Anyway keep up the great work & hope to share the sky with you next time around, eh!
Welcome to Toronto!! I did my PPL out of City Center(Billy Bishop). It's still my favorite place to fly. Glad you got the full experience and a chance to check out Niagara Falls.
This is my neck of the wood. Super cool seeing you fly through the same areas i play around in. CYTZ 26 approach is beautiful as well as the shoreline, i normally watch from my office in one of those buildings off your right wing. Awesome video, wish i could have been following months ago when this was posted! Awesome content man, looking forward for the next time you come back! Maybe make a stop at CZBA Burlington...?
Love that video. And love Toronto too. I've been there a couple of times as I have some family over there in Lockport, NY and Rocester, NY. Thx for the amazing story of you journey.
Hello from Sydney Australia. Absolutely fantastic, I'm watching this episode again. It evokes memories of a picture lamp (circa 1975) of Niagara falls. The heat from the light globe would turn an aluminium fan inside giving the effect of turbulent flow. 🪃🌏
Awesome video. Nice Flt from Collingwood to Billy Bishop. As a background, Billy Bishop was a celebrated WW 1 flying Ace. You flew past his Home of Owen Sound, Ontario going to Collingwood. Beautiful sunny day in Toronto for your meeting with your Editor Steve. Love your videos 👍🇨🇦
I'm loving this series. I currently live in Wisconsin, was married on Mackinac Island and used to live in mid-town Manhattan.... this is a trip down memory lane. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed Toronto! Point of interest for you. CYZD that you flew over is home to DeHavilland Q400 production and historically is where the Beaver was produced. The white dome next to the CN tower is where the Toronto Blue Jays play. Hope you plan to visit again! The quality of your footage is very close to reality. Very well done. It's my favourite route to fly in the area.
Glad you got to see a bit of Canada and do some flying into and out of Billy Bishop! It’s a fun and challenging airport. I used to work at the Stolport FBO you guys parked at at YTZ and now based there flying the Dash 8-400 for Porter seen at 14:07.
Hey Josh glad you enjoyed your visit! I've been living in the Toronto area for most of my life so it's kind of old hat but never get tired of seeing the skyline from the air and especially getting a first timer's perspective! Thanks for Sharing 😁
Greetings Josh from the UK. Love your channel and particularly the footage of Toronto City airport. Brought back some great memories. Thank you. Landed there in 2000 in an Aztec enroute to the UK via Newfoundland , Iceland and Scotland. Some 2,000 hours later and still flying a BE58 Baron all around Europe, Toronto City is one of my top ten airports! All the best David
Another great video! Thanks for taking us along! Steve has certainly done some great cutting for you! Glad you were able to make it up here north of the border!
Although I currently live in the states, I’m from Toronto and landing at Billy Bishop is the one thing that I’m most excited to do once I finish working towards my PPL. This was a great video and I hope you both get the chance to explore Toronto some more the next time you visit!
What a wonderful way to spend a day in the Heavens! Godspeed as we closely follow you both on this whirlwind adventure. Hello from the final for Rwy 8 @ KABE!
Very cool! I live between KBUF and KROC, you went right over. LOL I've seen the falls 1000's of times, we used to spend every new years eve/day there. Hope your enjoying your tour!! 8) --gary
This series!! So good. I press play and like back to back. This is not only my favorite series of yours, this is some of the best stuff I've seen on TH-cam. Loved the visuals, that footage of the falls! Wow
Really enjoyed this segment of the trip and amazing scenery of Toronto area shoreline and the falls. Thank you for all the work and energy to bring this one in, super enjoyable to watch!
I'm watching this video the day after the Toronto Maple Leafs defeated the Tampa Bay Lightening in the Stanley Cup hockey playoffs to move on to the next series. I can tell from the inflection in your voices you enjoyed your first visit to Canada. I was especially excited about your flight from the Sou down the Bruce Peninsula over OWEN SOUND (our home, and the home of Billy Bishop) to Collingwood. Thanks for sharing the videos. Really nice to meet your video editor. Do come again.
Great video man! I am currently at 11 hours into my PPL training and your videos have been such a treat to watch. I also learn a lot from your videos! Thank you man for letting us all ride with you on your aviation journey. I know it takes a lot of pain and time to plan, shoot and edit these and I genuinely thank you for your time :) I am Ved from Columbus, IN and would love to see you guys in person some day :D
Beautiful flight and episode. The falls were specular from above. Many years ago we took the boat into the falls. You will enjoy NYC. My wife and I stayed in Times Square for a week.
Nice video this one, no doubt beautiful scenery is downtown Toronto. Hope in the future you come to visit us in "Beautiful British Columbia", the Vancouver area has nothing to envy Toronto's beauty. 😃👍🇨🇦
That black Notar is a private one from Ontario? If so I met the pilot 2 years ago. When he landed at Cherry Street. Poutine in Collingwood? Harveys? lol. And FYI the real Billy Bishop airport was just 30km to the NW from Cwood.
Welcome to Buffalo Josh and Chelsea. Summer's here are the best. Good that you did your trip last year as runway 23/5 is closed for the summer for new lighting and upgrades. Glad you got to see the falls from the air. Gotta come back some day and take a jet boat tour and see the falls up close.
Love this segment of your trip in particular having spent nearly a week in the Toronto Islands on our honeymoon tied to the wall just south of the airfield and ferry dock that is the waterborne route for pedestrians to Queens Quay Terminal and downtown. Having N80991 passing through WNY once again this time KBUF can only be more amazing with Steve's experience. Thanks for your amazing work and taking us along vicariously on what is an epic adventure!
This was a really full and fun day of flying, and I’m glad we got to stop in Toronto and hang out with Steve.

He seems like a fantastic guy!
Awe man, I wish I could have met you! I saw my 'ol home right at the shoreline as you were flying! And in the same neighborhood is Steve Thorne of Flightchops, hope you had the chance to meet him!
8:37 Classic US/Canada moment! "Not above" vs "At or below". Nice to have you in Canada.
I wish all controllers sounded like the guy when you left Toronto. He annunciated and spoke clearly, but concisely. WOW I could understand him! What a concept!!
Thank you Steve for all your magic, Time for some flight lessons! This is what life is all about, family, friends, experiences and adventure.
Josh that’s amazing that you gave him the opportunity to fly 80991. Y’all are going to have an amazing friendship.
We all loved that big smile on Steve's face when he took the controls. This is pure aviation!! great job Steve👏🏻
Don't normally post such generic comments, but man I love your channel. As a non-aviator I find it completely addictive!
Josh, you realize you always be Mr. Aviation101 to the us old timers.

I flew the Sault - Toronto route last October in clear blue skies and it US breathtaking. Love the channel.
Every time he uploads one of these, it brightens my day.
As a Canadian I do hope you guys come back for a longer stay . So glad you enjoyed your time here but there is so much here to see and appreciate. Hope you return soon. By the way love the channel
I agree! they should do some east or west coast flying some time in the future, I think they would have lots to see and do!
You flew right over my house ! Pretty cool considering I've been watching this channel for years - funny how that happens.
I love the "not above" vs "at or below" battle.
Brought such a big smile to my face to see Steve taking his first flight! ❤ Steve, thanks for making Josh look like he knows what he’s doing (ha ha). Great work! Josh and Chelsey, glad you took some time to decompress! Thanks for sharing all of this. I love your videos!

It was nice to see Chelsea flying for a change!
I’m from Toronto and I like billy bishop, it’s a really nice airport to go biking riding near and watching the plane’s departing and arriving
As a low-time VFR pilot who flies in WNY (SDC is my home base), I have thought about doing the Niagara Falls trip multiple times, but never pulled the trigger. After seeing your footage, I HAVE to do it now! I'm loving this series.
I felt myself viscerally relax when you crossed back into the US. I guess home always feels like home, even on TH-cam
Josh and Chelsea.
Really, really enjoyed this video, after watching part 5. I am Canadian :-) and I reside in Kingston (CYGK) about 120 miles east of Toronto.

Amazing Josh.
I know downtown Toronto well,not only from layovers as BA crew but also flying out of Billy Bishop on those layovers.
Wow. The was a awesome vlog. Josh i have been enjoying you series. The flight over Niagara Falls was so cool. I am glad Steve got to fly N80991.Seeing the smile on his face. Keep them coming.
I am hungry for more of this. Cannot wait for the next installment.

Nice landing Chelsea!
Your editor does a great job.

Josh, new to the channel but I absolutely love the contact you share. I'll continue watching and enjoying your journey.

Not sure why, but this has been my favorite video to date.
Great video, what a treat for Steve! And that Toronto skyline ... oh man!
Amazing video!! Glad you were able to make it to Canada 🇨🇦. You guys are always welcomed here. 🍻
Welcome to Toronto!! I did my PPL out of City Center(Billy Bishop). It's still my favorite place to fly. Glad you got the full experience and a chance to check out Niagara Falls.
This is my local area. So great to see it in your videos. Very fun VFR flying here.
The famous 26 approach to cytz. It's a crowd favorite.
This is my neck of the wood. Super cool seeing you fly through the same areas i play around in. CYTZ 26 approach is beautiful as well as the shoreline, i normally watch from my office in one of those buildings off your right wing. Awesome video, wish i could have been following months ago when this was posted! Awesome content man, looking forward for the next time you come back! Maybe make a stop at CZBA Burlington...?
You need to get to South America! Iguazu falls makes Niagara look like a little falls. Would love to see some aerial shots from down there.
One of the best episodes in this series yet!
Great video, so fun to see you in Canada and over Niagara Falls, beautiful vantage point from the air. Thanks as always for sharing your flights.
Linden NJ, my neck of the woods. NY approach is always fun. I recently earned my PPL; a Hudson flight is in my list when the weather gets better.
Now I need to fly to Toronto. That looks awesome.
Best aviation videos on TH-cam!
Best episode EVER.
That is some gorgeous footage, you couldn't ask for a more beautiful day so envious =)
Love that video. And love Toronto too. I've been there a couple of times as I have some family over there in Lockport, NY and Rocester, NY. Thx for the amazing story of you journey.

Those Canadian controllers seem pretty chipper.

Beautiful sunny day in Toronto for your meeting with your Editor Steve.
Love your videos 👍🇨🇦

Commendably exceptional/ professional

I LEARN FROM YOU SO MUCH, THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS YOU. (Irshad Khan from Houston)
Wow best views I’ve seen of Niagra Falls ❤
Hey Josh glad you enjoyed your visit! I've been living in the Toronto area for most of my life so it's kind of old hat but never get tired of seeing the skyline from the air and especially getting a first timer's perspective! Thanks for Sharing 😁
Good morning from Minnesota! Great episode!!
Bucket list for next trip.

I’m loving this series but this specific video is awesome with Steve❤
What a great concept for a video

Wowwww! Thanks for sharing the aerial view of Toronto and Niagara falls, you guys are awesome!
thanks Josh for sharing your journeys
You are a hell of a filmmaker

@@chrissnaproll26 Thanks a lot Chris 😃
Great flight Josh, thanks for the ride along.
What a great video !. Would love to see you both in New Zealand for a trip !
Absolutely love your videos. I love how you both can tell a story and how passionate you are for not only flying but for the both of you.
loved this video. you have a top notch channel and content.
Beautiful flight and episode. The falls were specular from above. Many years ago we took the boat into the falls. You will enjoy NYC. My wife and I stayed in Times Square for a week.
Another great video. Thanks to you both for sharing.
I enjoy every video that you post, but the views in this video are outstanding. What an experience for you all. Thank you for sharing.
Excellent video! Awesome scenery and cool to see you get to meet your editor. That lunch looked great too.
OMG!! What an Adventure you have been on. How Cool is that!! Thanks for the videos Josh :):):)
Good job Steve!
Wow, what a fun packed day of flying! You and Chelsea continue to deliver great content and visuals...thanks for sharing!!
Awesome video!
Welcome to Toronto (belated)! You are just south of my office in downtown T.O. and you flew over my home before you flew over Downsview!!!
Nice video this one, no doubt beautiful scenery is downtown Toronto. Hope in the future you come to visit us in "Beautiful British Columbia", the Vancouver area has nothing to envy Toronto's beauty. 😃👍🇨🇦
Great job Steve! Love watching Josh and Chelsea and I appreciate how much work he must have to do to help you guys share your adventures with us!
Fantastic landing at Billy Bishop
Reminded me of flying into Meigs years ago.
That black Notar is a private one from Ontario? If so I met the pilot 2 years ago. When he landed at Cherry Street. Poutine in Collingwood? Harveys? lol. And FYI the real Billy Bishop airport was just 30km to the NW from Cwood.
Josh, it’s Meigs (megs, like eggs). Love the work.
Welcome to Buffalo Josh and Chelsea. Summer's here are the best. Good that you did your trip last year as runway 23/5 is closed for the summer for new lighting and upgrades. Glad you got to see the falls from the air. Gotta come back some day and take a jet boat tour and see the falls up close.
Always a joy when your new videos pop up on recommended. Was looking forward to this!
Must really feel nice every time you get a shoutout on the comms!
