Join me, Glen, a private pilot and occasional YouTube cook, as I continue my epic cross-country Eastern expedition in my resto-modded 1961 Cessna 172B. In Part 6 of this thrilling series, I brave storms, rain, and lightning to reunite with the Hope Air Expedition for the grand finale in Timmins.
We start in Sherbrooke, Quebec, where I refuel and enjoy a quick lunch before checking the weather and deciding to push on towards Oshawa. Along the way, I navigate around thunderstorms and lightning, carefully monitoring the weather to ensure a safe journey.
This adventure is more than just flying—it's about raising awareness and funds for Hope Air, a charity dedicated to providing free flights and accommodations to Canadians who need to travel far for medical appointments. Throughout this video, I share my experiences and the emotional impact of flying patients, highlighting the incredible work Hope Air does.
