Clearing CANADIAN CUSTOMS! - 3 Countries 3 Weeks: Part 5

[@NC4Walker]

Welcome to Collingwood! 🇨🇦 The best place in Ontario. We hope guys enjoyed our beautiful Blue Mountain and Collingwood area. 🍻

[@jimsimon4432]

As a long-time subscriber, I believe that this is your best video ever when considering its information, storyline, and cinematography!

[@yzaw4411]

It is definitely one of your best videos

[@martinlynn3699]

It is very good. And Canada is definitely beautiful, but for me his series on his first trip to Alaska for tops them all. He conveyed a sense of wonder that was almost spiritual. But this video certainly makes me wish I was young and newly married again.

[@Aviation101]

That series in Alaska was indeed the first time in my life when I was truly at a loss for words to describe what my eyes were seeing. BUT, we’re always looks for the next adventure! 🤙🏼

[@flywithrey]

Thank you for continuing to post these videos for us! It keeps me motivated while in flight school!

[@IAmUndersteer]

@@Aviation101 the Alaska series and the flight to Catalina Island are my tops, but I’m so into this series right now!

[@clickster1883]

You're livin' the dream, man. Thanks for taking us along. Keep up the good work.

[@larrys7489]

As a new CFI, sometimes I get lost in the thick of it. Schedules, weather, maintenance issues, the list goes on. Every video you post reminds me how privileged I am to be able to have a small part in aviation. Thank you for being truly inspiring.

[@Calebs_Aviation]

Great video Josh! I can’t wait till you come back to MICHIGAN again I’d love to meet y’all if so…

[@danmcbride6258]

I have been. fan of your videos for a few years now. As a Canadian I enjoyed watching you clear Customs at the Sault (YAM), where I worked for a number of years as a Station Manager for Canadian Airlines, now merged with Air Canada. It was great listening to you speak to the Tower Controller at YAM. I have sat up there and had Coffee with the Controller on many sunny afternoons. Then your trip to Collingwood was also cool because it was my backyard growing up. I spent many days skiing there and boating in the Summer. Looking forward to the Toronto Leg and to Billy Bishop Airport. Welcome to Canada 🇨🇦

[@gradybetts]

As a 16 year old student pilot, these videos are incredibly educational and always very interesting to watch. Thank you for yet another captivating video!

[@Highmaintenance_chels]

Keep it up! Fly safe!

[@wyattthepilot]

Good luck, being a student pilot is rough sometimes, it’s great to find more people my age that are like me.

[@MuffledBlueberry]

Wait you can fly at that young!?

[@gradybetts]

@@MuffledBlueberry you can fly as young as 13 I believe. Depends on you instructor. You have to be 16 to get a student pilots license and 17 to get your private license

[@MuffledBlueberry]

@gradybetts2539 there's no way........

[@jp_ros]

Yesterday I did my Discovery Flight, the first time being in a GA plane and my first time having the controls. It was amazing. I was completely blown away by the feeling of having the airplane in my hands. Now I'm planning on pursuing a Private Pilot license so that one day I can also make these fantastic trips you do. Following you here for almost 10 years (July 2013), you are a giant motivation for me. Thank you for sharing these videos, your knowledge, and your experiences.

[@SirCreepingtonPasta]

Years ago I would come to this channel to get my “flying procedures” fix, being an aspiring pilot and aviation nut. I find myself coming back with the intent of getting the same fix, but find myself sticking around for the story. The cinematographic nature of your videos has come a long way I’d say, and it’s beautiful. Thank you making the content that you do and sharing these experiences.

[@GlensHangar]

Sad that we missed you! Our plane was based at CNV8 Edenvale (you could see it when on approach to Collingwood) for 18 months while we re-built / restomodded it. Now based in Oshawa (Toronto)... but we have a weekend place in Quebec City. So open invitation to visit us there and fly around rural Quebec - doing your radio calls in French!

[@Highmaintenance_chels]

Next time! Fly safe 😊

[@jdeadman]

A glen Sighting in the wild. lol Like your vids too Glen!!

[@praterkj12]

Great story!! My GF and I just came back from Sedona last week. We flew there from Lafayette, La in a Cherokee 150. I watch all your Grand Canyon videos to help plan my trip and I also went to marble canyon and Paige, Az. I never would have known about these places without watching your videos. So thank you so much you def helped me plan a great trip and my GF and I will never forget. Can’t wait to see your Bahamas videos to help plan that trip next summer!!!

[@4OfSpades]

Leonbergers to end the perfect video

[@jamestharp7880]

Hi Josh and Chelsea, you have the best videos ever! We met you at Oshkosh last year, I’m the guy that showed how not to land in the gulf of Mexico with a bonanza. I checked my logbook and of 320 hours last year, We landed in Canada seven times. It’s like the customs agents get to know our names. Looking forward to Chelsea’s live stream.

[@Aviation101]

I remember your story! Thanks for the comment, James. Hope to see you in the live stream!

[@wingsleveladventures]

Hey Josh! Im a 13 y/o student pilot, and these films are amazing. Wish I was at Sun n Fun to meet you!

[@BCJ725]

Spectacular episode, Josh. OMG you guys just get better and better and BETTER!

[@Highmaintenance_chels]

The adventures become more and more special 😊

[@wilfredz]

RIP josh, hoping your memory lives on through this channel.

[@tainepicard]

Awesome to see you enter through CYAM, home to myself and all the boys at Sault College. Your videos are a big inspiration to why I'm here flying the Zlins. Keep up the awesome content.

[@michal4250]

What a fantastic video! I love the scenery you film while you're flying up there. They are breathtaking views!

[@corentillywesterman]

Even from Europe (The Netherlands) this is just fun to watch! Have a good one!

[@Counter5g]

Awesome video! You came right through my home skies. Home base is CYOS and my farm is right under you at 17:00. Welcome to Canada!

[@lmgray835]

The one thing I have learned from being married more than half my life is Never get between a woman and her chocolate.😂

[@lukeylovestrains3151]

Wow you guys have lots of Canadian fans! Including us. Welcome to Canada. Fantastic video as always. Can’t wait to see the flight to Billy Bishop

[@Highmaintenance_chels]

We are huge fans of Canada! Thanks for tuning in. Billy Bishop was phenomenal, it tops my list of approaches to landing!

[@TheMeslava]

@@Highmaintenance_chels It's a great airport! So busy though. I'm from PEI Canada but I have flown into Toronto Island many times. Always a great time and a great city to boot. Glad you guys had a good time.

[@michaelwilliamsd.o.5006]

Excellent, as always, and inspirational! Once we get the money out of the shop with the new panel, we plan to explore America and beyond. Thanks for another great video. Hope to get you guys here for one of our safety talks soon.Doc

[@JustPlaneMad]

Best in the business. Don’t think anyone else makes this kind of content as good as Aviation101. If they do, I haven’t found them yet

[@Nfredible]

Been a fan of the channel early Mr Aviation, this is easily one of the coolest I’ve seen. You share without getting totally technical, so there is still fun in watching. Hope you had a GREAT time!!

[@LimitWHK]

Awesome adventure , would love to visit the area from New Zealand eventually.

[@Jaguar79gt]

I can't say it enough "thank you for taking us on this wonderful trip" 🥰👍

[@Highmaintenance_chels]

Thanks for tuning in and exploring with us 😊

[@philjohnson9302]

Josh, you do such a great job with the videos. You’re a natural!

[@CamViesky]

It’s videos like this that remind me of where I am and where I want to be. The place my 6yr old me wanted to be. I’m currently going into multi engine training in September. The exams, ground school and studying can get very busy and stressful but looking at these videos reminds me that it’s all worth it. Every part of it.

[@EuroAviators]

Wow, the quality of this series is again "next level", like Alaska! 😎Love the cinematography and how you both fulfill each other. Flying internationally is indeed an easy thing, once you get into it. Would love to see a "Mexican" series one day, but for now, looking forward to see more from Canada 🇨🇦 and Bahamas. 🇧🇸 Greetings from the Alps!✌🏼🇨🇭

Enjoyed this video so much list of favorites New York,Grand Canyon,Houston at night and now this one. Keep up the good work.

this is why I love Aviation 101!!!!!🖤

[@marsgal42]

Magic! ❤ I've flown across the Canada-U.S. border several times myself (between B.C. and Washington). It looks intimidating, then you do it, then you wonder what all the fuss was about.

[@Aviation101]

Exactly! Once it was done it all seemed so simple. Something about hindsight? 🧐

[@rodgermiller2970]

Been going to Canada since 1955, great fishing.

[@1minutecomicswalahollywood648]

Congratulations, Good to hear that.

[@hallfan4]

This must've been many months ago! I remember hearing you over the comms while doing some training flying by myself in a Zlin 242L at the local college. Safe flying.

[@chapgood13]

Love following your adventures, looked like a wonderful flight into Canada to visit your friends.

[@Aviation101]

It was super memorable. Many more memories to be made! 🤙🏼

[@pilotpeego1820]

Wow! Awesome video! You should fly to British Columbia. It's absolutely stunning!

[@connorfirth857]

0:18, for a second I thought Chelsea was going to skydive out of the plane as I thought you guys were flying through a cloud, lol😅 Amazing video btw man, I’ve been watching your guys’ whole adventure from the start and I love that you guys are making memories from these flights. 👍

[@brucecuratola6389]

You make every location the place to be! I flew in a Caravan with floats in 2014 into Canada landing at a remote fishing camp. The trip of a lifetime!

[@Aviation101]

That sounds amazing. I definitely want to do a trip like that someday. 🙌🏼

[@Low-N-Slow]

So, I was inspired to fly over KLAX and So Cal after watching some of your previous videos. Did that 2 weeks ago. Some day I am going to fly the 172 almost coast to coast to CA like one of your videos.

[@AviatorLifeCS]

Oh, Canada! I miss you so much. Great video, Josh.

[@av8orAH64]

Hi Josh, I have been a subscriber and fan of your videos for some time now. I have followed you through your aviation career. I am an Attack helicopter pilot and have been flying since I was 3. My Dad and I flew together from my early life as I am sure you did as well. I caught the bug early and have been flying ever since. While I used to fly for the Military. I now fly just for me. I own a Van's RV-12 which is a great little airplane. Thanks for the great work and for demonstrating your continued journey. Well done!!! Cheers buddy, Gary

[@Orzorn]

Awesome footage! This is the kind of stuff that drives me to finish getting my license. I'm very close, just need my test endorsement then getting a DPE lined up! I started this almost 2 years ago primarily inspired by your videos and its been a great journey so far.

[@brucecuratola6389]

Git er done! Polishing my performance now and expect my PPC check ride in the summer.

Fantastic! Stay humble, keep learning no matter what 👊🏼

I didn’t even realize you guys were passing by SSM. I’m a student at the college there for aviation flying the Zlins! Awesome to see you stopped by there!!!

Gorgeous flight! As someone who flies in this area all the time it's nice to see someone else's perspective 🥰

Outstanding video, Josh! As always, but there was something special about this one, and not just that I often fly around Georgian Bay and it was nice to see it through your eyes. 😀

[@Aviation101]

Thank you for the kind words!

Great video Josh! Been watching you for years and the info given in all of these videos has been a HUGE help to me in getting my ratings! Just passed my CFI initial 2 days ago, thanks for all the info you provide!!

Sault Ste Marie was my old stomping grounds, on the Michigan side. I worked at CIU and lived up the road from ANJ. From ANJ you could just see the YAM airport on the other side

[@steveprice4779]

Glad you made it to Canada. Ive lived in Eastern Washington my whole life and we are only 100 miles South of Canada. We get up there alot. My dad was a Cessna/Piper dealer and FBO. We flew alot of charters to Canada in our Piper Navajo. We also did alot or work with a couple Bell Jet Rangers for a logging company. My dad landed Jet Rangers in places in Eastern Washington, Idaho, Montana and places in Canada that I'm sure very few Humans if any have walked. Some stunning scenery. One trip I'll never forget was flying our Grumman Widgeon seaplane into a remote Canadian mountain lake for a couple days of fishing. Alot to see....keep exploring Josh....

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Thanks for these video Josh. Love adventure.

[@fireflyrobert]

Watching from UK, awesome trip and video - loving all that beautiful scenery en route.

I live in the small town of Stayner, Ontario. I had no idea you would be landing in collingwood! I drive a delivery truck in the area, and frequently pass by the Collingwood airport to watch the planes take off and land for my break.

Hey Josh, enjoy Canada the scenery looks very beautiful. Also, it was nice meeting you at SNF on the last day before you guys departed

[@cenalian]

Awesome video! As someone who is working on their PPL is SW Ontario with the reason to get into aviation being my wife's family lives in the Sault, it was both visually stunning and informative for me personally. Excited to see the next video in Toronto which is 50 or so nm from where I'm based!

[@Aviation101]

Fantastic! That’s a good reason to get into flying. It really does expand your reach to distant family.

Collingwood! Just an hour east of Owen Sound where we live. Welcome to Canada. Looks like your flight plan took you down the Bruce Peninsula. We call the "terrain" Blue Mountain - great downhill skiing in the winter. Josh, I enjoy all of your videos.

[@chadphillips951]

You were at CYAM thats where I train! hearing zlin traffic on your video is pretty funny. you got some fans in sault!

[@patrickheavirland3599]

Good morning from Minnesota! Great episode!!

[@sonnicman]

Excellent episode Josh. I look forward to the live stream. THIS was an excellent example of being very clear with ATC as to where you are and where you're going. There are two Sue Saint Marie's. One in the United States and the other in Canada. Both are very close to one another. The controller did a great job of making it very clear that you were dealing with the Canadian side lol. :0)

[@marklester161]

I started following your content last summer. I greatly enjoy your content. I’m not a pilot nor am I involved in aviation, but I do have a few friends who are. I’m more of a water guy 😂 but there are some similarities, imo. I am a lifelong Michigander and the eastern UP is my escape, specifically Drummond Island which is east northeast of Mackinac Island. As a matter of fact the road to Drummond is M134 and can be seen along the lakeshore in this video at 8:06. If you’re ever in the eastern UP in August, it’s near certainty I will be on the island. I’d be more than happy to take you for a boat ride!

Hey Josh, love the vids and welcome to Canada! Just fyi, the ADIZ for U.S and Canada runs solely along the coasts, not along the boarders. The ADIZs are for aircraft entering our country's/continent's airspace from outside, it does nothing for aircraft already here. Safe flying man!

I had had so many friends reach out with similar stories since that video posted! It sounds like there are many pilots that never make it above ground affect and some even have to dodge trees at a wings length above the ground while looking for safety. I thought my 1000agl was scary. Thankful for a safe outcome and being able to wait till the next morning to try again! I’m never shy to go around on an unstable approach and I’m never shy to pull the rip cord on a mission to reevaluate and play it safe!

@@Highmaintenance_chels Thankfully you made it out of that OK. I have something in common with you. I got my private pilot license at Bowman field back in 1974 at age 17 when they had 3 runways and you could land on the grass on either side of the runways. Unfortunately I had to go to college and I never made it back into the cockpit, but I enjoy videos like yours.
