🍗 Flying to Canada’s Only KFC Buffet | Aviation Adventure + Fast Food History ✈️
Thanks @therealsamreid & @twentyonepilots for the inspiration
Ever wondered what it’s like to fly across the Prairies just to eat at the only KFC buffet in Canada? Join me on this VFR flight from Steinbach, Manitoba to Weyburn, Saskatchewan as I combine my two passions — aviation and food — for one unforgettable day trip.
In this episode, I plan and fly my Cessna across busy Winnipeg airspace to track down one of the last surviving KFC buffets in North America. Along the way, I share insights about controlled airspace near Winnipeg, flight planning for small aircraft, and what it takes to manage a cross-country GA flight while still studying for my instrument rating.
Once in Weyburn, I meet the local KFC area coach Larry, who shares the incredible story of how this buffet survived since 1988 — including how Saskatchewan “snuck” the buffet concept into Canada, how it spread across the country, and how a viral campaign saved this one location from being shut down.
From crispy fried chicken and fresh hot buffet trays to the fascinating history of Colonel Sanders in Canada, this trip is as much about aviation freedom as it is about culinary nostalgia.
If you love aviation, general aviation VFR flying, KFC history, or food adventures, this video’s for you.
