We flew from Ohio to Syracuse for a family graduation party at the end of June. The weather forecasts were off significantly - the clouds never lifted and precipitation continued far longer than predicted. Due to the weather, we sat on the ground in Franklin, PA for a while and then ended up having to land in Bradford, PA and spend the night. We were able to complete the trip into NY the following morning. Video is sped up to 5x normal speed.

  • That's some good aeronautical decision making. Way to avoid the likely fatality that is continued VFR into IMC.

  • @bekoehn Thanks! I feel I pushed it a bit too far but we're safe and remained legal so I consider it a great learning experience.

  • What's it like flying from a grass strip a lot? I just got my Private last tuesday, and for my soft field we landed at my first ever grass strip. Quite a nice feeling to do an actual soft-field.

  • @Scote1992 Yup, what Brad said. A soft piece of grass in an old Cub or Champ is about as much fun as you can have flying!

  • i absouteley love your videos. i love flying. i actually took my intro flight today!!!

  • @coolcaviescole Awesome - good luck with your training!

  • @Scote1992 Grass strips are the best! Very forgiving, and no added centerline pressure.
