I'm finally setting off on my long-anticipated journey from the UK to the USA in my PA28. I'll route via Scotland, The Faroe Islands, Iceland, Greenland, and Canada before reaching America at Bangor in Maine. From there, I'll tour the mid-west, New York, Washington DC and Florida before ending up at the world's biggest aviation convention, EAA Airventure at Oshkosh Wiskonsin.

I make inspirational videos about my flying adventures around the UK, Europe and now the USA too!.
