Bahamas Ep.1 - How to fly to the Bahamas

[@askmehowiknow3571]

Your videos have been the most helpful out of all the videos I have watched regarding logistics and planning. Thank you so much. Very informative. And the bottle of scotch! Heck yea!

[@WingsOverTO]

Thanks so much! I’m glad you find them useful. Thanks for watching!

[@mhibbitt]

Nicely done. I'll look forward to the rest of the series.

Man I felt like Richard and Virginia Rich. Except more prepared, watching this video. Also in my head, I was playing Cocomo.

[@WingsOverTO]

Who are Richard and Virginia Rich? I agree with the Cocomo. :)

[@itstabish]

@@WingsOverTO from the movie Richie rich haha they get lost at sea cuz their plane goes down and they’re dressed well with a bottle of champagne waiting for rescue hahaha

[@FlyMeAirplane]

I went to a coast guard seminar on overwater flying. if your flight plan shows a life raft, they will search for you for a week. If it shows life jackets they will search for 24 hours. You picked right. Love the details in you videos.

[@WingsOverTO]

I guess they figure if all you have is a life jacket, within 24 hours a shark will have eaten you anyway. 😉 That’s an interesting distinction, I hadn’t heard of that, and it’s really good to know. Thanks!

Great video! I will definitely be referencing your series when the time comes for a Michigan to Bahamas trip. Keep ‘em coming.

[@WingsOverTO]

Thanks, John, I appreciate that! Feel free to reach out anytime with questions as you plan your Bahamas trip. Happy to jump on the phone when the time is right and talk through any part of it.

[@GMascelli]

excellent video! looking forward to the complete series. my bride and I had a good laugh when you pulled out the scotch.

[@WingsOverTO]

Thanks! I had to commit a cardinal sim when I put the bottle back under the bar without taking a dram. But what can you do? Besides make up for it later, that is. :)

[@Low-N-Slow]

Love this content. Great job, buddy. Thanks for sharing and helping this low timer.

[@carsona6336]

Great video. Love the scotch part haha

[@realediciocco1598]

Very impressed at your very thorough preparation. Staying tuned for the rest of the series.

[@WingsOverTO]

Thanks, Reale! I became a bit obsessive about it. I was checking the weather several times a day for weeks. :)

[@WingsOverTO]

Where are you based?

[@mojah1]

@@WingsOverTO I live in Georgina, that’s what I ment by saying neighbors I don’t own airplane yet, but I am multi engine. Hope to have you over for bbq.

[@mojah1]

@@WingsOverTO my pleasure I like the content, that’s a little dream to fly my family to vacation destinations

[@stargirl9184]

Very thorough preparation, thanks for sharing ! One question about the first departure leg from Toronto : why did you choose inland near the mountains instead of along the east coastal line ?

[@WingsOverTO]

Thanks! The short answer is weather. I need to cross the mountain range somewhere along that first leg, either north in the adirondacks or further south over the appalachians. At the time I was a VFR pilot only and there were low clouds all across the mountain range til I got further south. So I crossed over West Virginia before making my way further south.

[@lakeguy65616]

why was the bottle of scotch half empty? have you been practicing ditching at sea? Excellent video!

[@WingsOverTO]

lol. That scene took a LOT of takes and I had to keep wetting my whistle 😀

[@Mixturerich]

Great job! Look forward to the next instalment. By the way, your previous videos to the USA were of tremendous help. I made my first trip to the USA last week. I’ll be publishing my video in the coming weeks on my channel. Went somewhere cool…. Let me know when you’re coming to Ottawa!

[@WingsOverTO]

That’s great, I’m glad to hear it! Can’t wait to see the video on it. I should be coming up to Ottawa sometime in July, will let you know.

[@reyesben]

Cool

[@WingsOverTO]

Glad you liked it!

[@garywheeler2055]

Quick question, what’s best way to ask you some questions re cross border ops? Instagram? Thanks in advance

[@WingsOverTO]

Yup you can reach out to me on instagram, same user name.

[@GeezerGeekPilot]

Kamal, very nicely prepared video... with good detailed information. Glad the journey was safe and enjoyable, and I look forward to your upcoming episodes. Congrats! Wayne (DA40 KSBA). BTW, if you're looking for motivation further southeast, here's our 2020 video series: kzbin.info/aero/PLXG0e5e7RImNZWn4BG3zbnWHwdVURXyGm

[@WingsOverTO]

Thanks very much! That video series looks great, I’ll definitely check it out.

[@WingsOverTO]

Wow, I thought I was detailed, but your spreadsheet with row upon row of who does what, when was something to behold. Nicely done!

[@GeezerGeekPilot]

​@@WingsOverTO, "something to behold" LOL... my travel buddies always kid me that I'm rather over-the-top on the planning spreadsheet 🤣. Thanks for checking it out. Wayne
