Day One! Flying To Quebec City - Hope Air Expedition 2024 Part 2
Join Glen on his journey from Oshawa to Quebec City in the first leg of our "Give Hope Wings" fundraising expedition!
I am once again flying in the Give Hope Wings fundraiser this year! Our June of 2024 flight will see us stop in many communities in Eastern Canada to raise awareness for this worthy cause.
Last year 2023 we raised over $27,000 towards helping our neighbours - we made a positive difference in the lives of many.

In this first leg, we take off under beautiful blue skies, navigating through some challenging VFR conditions and dodging low clouds forecasted to clear by our arrival. Our trusty plane, Mike Victor Uniform, stands by ready for takeoff from Runway 30. As we climb to our cruising altitude of 5,500 feet, we battle a headwind, making for a slower journey but giving us stunning views of the landscapes below.
As we approach Quebec City, we descend past the iconic St. Lawrence River and over the historic Plains of Abraham. After landing at Quebec City's Jean Lesage International Airport, we take you on a quick tour of this charming city. Explore the rich history of Quebec’s Old Town, marvel at its stone architecture from the 1600s
Explore Quebec City:
After landing, we delve into Quebec City's rich history and vibrant culture. Stroll through Old Town’s cobblestone streets, marvel at centuries-old architecture, and savor the local cuisine. Learn about the city’s fascinating past, from its founding to the pivotal battles fought on the Plains of Abraham.
Stay Tuned:
We have much more to explore in the upcoming days. From the charm of Quebec City to the coastal wonders of Eastern Canada, this journey is just beginning. Don't miss out on the next legs of our adventure!

![Flying a 60-Year-Old Airplane: The Joy, the Cost, and the Hard Decisions
If you enjoy our content and want to help us to continue creating; consider buying us a couple gallons of AvGas: Ko-fi.com/glenshangar
Owning a vintage 1961 Cessna 172B (Mike Victor Uniform) is more than just flying—it’s a lesson in stewardship, patience, and making tough financial decisions. In this video, we dive into the realities of maintaining a 60-year-old aircraft, from interpreting decades of logbooks to facing a major engine overhaul decision.
In this video, we cover:
The Reality of Vintage Ownership: Why owning a 1961 Cessna is like adopting a charming but opinionated grandparent.
Maintenance & Troubleshooting: Swapping out LED tail strobes, addressing oil temperature issues with winter baffles, and investigating exhaust back pressure.
The $50,000 Question: Do we overhaul the existing Continental engine (last rebuilt in 1986!) or upgrade to a more powerful 180hp Lycoming?
Stewardship: The satisfaction of keeping a piece of aviation history in the air for the next generation of pilots.
Whether youre an aircraft owner, a student pilot, or just love vintage GA (General Aviation) planes, the magic hour flight at the end reminds us why we put up with the costs and the hard decisions.
