i used to fly night freight.....only option i had was on board radar and then stop to look at the big picture.

erie is a great stop

The formula is as follows -Getthereitis is cured by ample money for additional expenses, and no regard for time

How's lunch at Cincinnati Lunken? They use to have a muse on field restaurant.

Don't think you were diverting to ERI, yesterday, with that amazing lake effect snow event...

Great ADM. Love the videos!

Great video - KNEW is a great airport to visit

Excellent and objective review!

Great video very useful to see. Appreciate the work to share your experiences.

Excellent Cocpit Management 👍

ATC was great and so was the video, keep them coming.

Excellent video - I commend you on your decision making process for the safety of you and your passenger. Avoid the risk of pushing outside your comfort levels into borderline conditions.

Very good job and decision making. I learned from your experience, and I appreciate your sharing the video and experience. Thanks so much.

That was absolutely the right call, no question about it. You’re flying a low power non FIKI piston airplane in icing temperatures and in visible moisture. Many many aircraft have come to an unfortunate end in these circumstances. Always take the safe road, and obey what your training taught you. It’s an automatic decision in this case. You never want to be on the other side of the curve, finding yourself in a rapidly developing overwhelming situation. Good job here !

Great video 🙌

Always be safe and err on the side of caution... I don't want to see you on Blancolirio's channel.

Thanks for sharing your flights. I think you got your IFR about the same time I did. I also do some cross border flying and understand the pressures that come with dealing with customs. Awesome ADM on this flight.

Very well done. Its better to be on the ground wishing you were in the air rather than in the air wishing you were on the ground.

I'm in Canada too and got my IR this summer, love your videos, always insightful!

Thanks for sharing the flight. Getting to ride along and understand the progression of events and the decision making is always helpful. ADM at its best.

Good training leads to great decision making. Well done and I wish everyone would be as wise. Thanks for sharing.

Great lessons here!

Curious if KERI charged you landing fees. When I lived in Buffalo, I would visit the avionics shop at Erie and never was charged. Has this changed? Thinking about stopping there on my next trip north.

Well done, good Sir!

Good call. My wife and i spent an unexpected 3 days in Pittsburgh last May on our way down to Ocean Springs when we started picking up icing at 3000 feet. Always best to be safe and embrace the adventure - sometimes a deviation from the plan makes for a great experience. Thanks for making the effort to put out these videos.

You made the right decision, and you stuck to it, great ADM and great video. 👍

Lawrence County Airpark (KHTW) is 4 nautical miles away from KHTS along the Ohio River. It's a small private airfield at a lower elevation. The FBO there will probably be better on fuel too. Nice job getting into Huntington with those winds.

The Terminal Building is one of the finest examples of Art Deco in the country. I enjoy eating brunch at The Runway Cafe and watching the small airplanes takeoff and land while eating.

lol, at 4:36, I guess the controller just gives up on that difficult phonetic call sign. Would you recommend HTS to clear customs when going south?

great place to eat is a few miles from the airport in town at Griffith & Feil Drug store. They have a soda fountain. Also if its after 4:30, Evaroni's pizza is awesome

I had a corporate job flying out of there in the 90’s. I as well saw some particularly “sporty” days on occasion. Nicely done sir.

Damn Good Job !!! Major Respect!!!

I will have to live vicariously through you as they removed my Sierra's engine last week and it's now at the shop to install a new crankshaft. They said it could be 4 months give or take depending on how backed up they are. Last time I flew the plane was in May. It's been in the shop since its annual in August. We are moving from Florida to Kentucky in January so I will have to just come back down and pick it up when I have time. Keep them videos coming!

I did my checkride out of KHTS. Nice approach and landing for the conditions there. Nice job!

Slammed the whole way down! Great landing!

Nice landing at the end of the carnival ride!

Wow! A little dicey there, whew! Great records of your travels. Thanks for taking us along! What do you have 2 gopros/back and front?

That descent and landing was like riding a bronco ! Can get quite challenging in West Virginia and North Carolina some days. I have also had some interesting moments that now play into my flight planning more than before. Thanks for posting. Definitely want to make a stop in New Orleans.

Shouldnt be flying small plane in those conditions without lots of training and with a pax, not worth the risk. Need to turn the yoke more into the wind and get windward side wing down a little more and hold it at landing and once down, yoke forward to keep nose down. So the left aileron was up somewhat, good, but that yoke was back after mains and nose where down, just push that in half way keep the air from going under nose

Lord what an approach. That was gusty good job. Good narration, and VoiceOver work as usual.

Nicely done Kamal. Great approach and landing.

HTS is my nearest airport. I wouldn’t fly into there unless I absolutely had to on a windy day. Ohio airports are much better where it’s flatter. Cheaper fuel too. Nice video.

Yikes, what a ride, that made my back hurt just watching. Looks like a fun time in the big easy, thanks for sharing. I really got a laugh at the 11:40 mark....ahhhh bump bump ahhhhhh 😄

Nice restaurent "Messina's Runway Cafe" inside the newly restored airport terminal building.

Nice my home base. Welcome to New Orleans.

next time go to NewOrleans Aerial Tours & Flight training its an fbo also.

I was lucky enough to do an unplanned formation flight during my flight school days. My instructor got us into formation with two other planes coming down Hwy 10 towards Brampton airport. Very cool experience! But that landing....it was like putting down a 747 in crosswind! That plane was made for it....yours is not hahaha!

Got my PPL at Lakefront Airport in 1984

Great trip! I picked up some internal fans for those GoPros - haven't had an overheating issue since.
