Crossing the Atlantic Ocean in a Cessna

Trying to find a way to Austria, I catch a ride in a Cessna 210 for a two week trip across the North Atlantic. We fly to remote northern Canada to prepare to cross to Greenland and encounter icing, autopilot issues, plumbing problems, magnetic deviation, and find ourselves north of the Wall.

I've been flying since I was 16 and at age 19 flew around the world by myself in the same 1981 A36 Beechcraft Bonanza I still fly, becoming the youngest person ever to solo circumnavigate by aircraft.
Now, I'm sharing all kinds of aviation adventures with YOU! Ride along as we explore the world from the air and get a close up look at some of aviation's best flight experiences and destinations.

I'm an old lady, and a student pilot. Most inspiring. I'm retiring next year and going around the world for ten years or so. I hope to fly chunks of it. Little chunks. One remote spot to another remote spot. Preferably remote spots with beaches so I can work on my tan.

I delivered 92 aircraft overseas during the 1980s, 2/3rds of them singles. Carried the survival suit but only wore it once when the heater failed on the way to the Azores in winter in a Baron. Flying in the suit is a miserable way to live. Always just carried a 2 quart large mouth bottle with a half bar of motel soap for a urinal. Didn't get Loran until 1985 and GPS in 1989. Tanked most of them myself. Longest leg was 20.5 hours in a Cessna 182 from Majuro to Brisbane. Good times! Have fun.

[@mattguthmiller]

Damn, I thought 16.5 hours (Samoa to Hawaii) was long...with GPS and an autopilot! Sounds like some fun times though

[@DanFrederiksen]

We need small planes that are dramatically more optimized so they don't cessna their way around (michael j fox in a swimming pool). We need the 400km/h class of inexpensive planes. It's very doable. 400 means you can do serious legs and still arrive before airliners.

[@thomasv-p8839]

126.7 is used all over Canada as the en-route frequency. Uncontrolled position reports. It’s amazing how when I’m flying in Canada it’s mostly 126.7 whereas everywhere in the US the airspace always seems to be controlled. Incredible video and I’m definitely subscribing :D

[@realhedi7911]

These types of adventures is what aviation is all about

[@JimForeman]

I flew basically the same route delivering a new PA-18 SuperCub from Colorado to Innstahl Austria in 1983. A little less avionics, single VOR and ADF, half the cruising speed of the 210. 38 gallon ferry tank in the back seat. No night or IFR flying.

[@graycloud057]

So happy to know there are still good young men like you three out adventuring! God bless you!

Great video Matt and what an experience. Icing, comms issues, peeing in the suit and can't get out of the airport and your answer is 'this is going to be fun'. Some of us have very different ideas about what is fun or not - the only answer is, you obviously love what you're doing.

Should be here this week and I can hardly wait. I think my lifelong dream of flying might give me some spice for life again. Just an angry old Marine Corps vet wanting to fly off into the sunset like you all. Your coverage of Mike and Draco is what got my childhood love of flying rekindled. Thank you for that.

[@socomon69]

Matt: I don't know how you always keep so calm. IFR, no comms, icing . . . eh, no worries.

Newt Scamander in Fantastic Beasts said "Worrying means you suffer twice"... Words to live by imo :)

To panic would be to fail. Always good to keep a calm head, and be prepared

[@jyrgenruut]

I mean, that's what a good pilot should do; stay calm and think of the reality and not count on falling out of the skies... however, also think through the proceedures, just in case something did happen.

[@daca478]

It reminded me of me, flying at 15 all around the south of the US building time with my friends ! Awesome guys congrats! That’s what I call love for aviation !

[@veltonmeade1057]

Great job landing; nice and smooth. My step-dad was a pilot. He taught me as a kid in the 70s how to recognize airline jets by the sound and entrails. I've always wanted to be a pilot, but I have a knack for getting motion-sickness. It doesn't always hit me, but I know it wouldn't be good if I were a pilot and I got sick.

[@jrbailey3208]

I got to tell you boys watching what you were choosing for snacking on just made me smile and shake my head! You guys keep choosing nuts and dried fruit all the kinds of stuff that would make you need to go crap at the drop of a hat and it 12,000 above MSL! I got a commend you on your choice of aircraft, but for that Atlantic leg I would have definitely preferred a Charlie 337 D or F model, having an extra engine over the Atlantic Waters which are so cold, would have definitely given me an Ace in the Hole that I would love to have had, especially after seeing the icing on the wings!

My stomach got tight just watching this and thinking about a water ditching. Southern Greenland with rocky mountains giving way to icebergs in the fjords on a sunny day from 35,000 feet returning from Europe to US is the most fascinating view I have ever experienced anywhere.
