What would you do for the perfect cocktail? When we realized we were out of Green Chartreuse for "The Last Word," I didn't just check the local liquor store—I hopped in my plane and flew to another province!
In this episode of Glen's Hangar, join me on a cross-country aviation adventure. After finding zero stock in Ontario, I located a single bottle at an SAQ in Quebec City. Watch the full journey from pre-flight planning to landing at Jean Lesage International Airport (CYQB).
In this video:
The Hunt: Why Green Chartreuse is so hard to find and why it’s essential for the classic "Last Word" cocktail.
Cross-Country Flight: Navigating from Toronto to Quebec City, dealing with headwinds, and managing fuel in a small aircraft.
Real ATC Audio: Listen in on communications with Toronto Center and Quebec Terminal as we navigate VFR through busy airspace.
Quebec From Above: Stunning aerial footage of the St. Lawrence River and the iconic "Twin Bridges."
The Reward: Was an 850-mile flight worth it for one drink? (Spoiler: Yes!)
Aviation Stats for this Flight:
Aircraft: Fox Mike Victor Uniform
Total Distance: ~850 miles round trip
Route: Toronto area to Quebec City (CYQB)
Cruising Altitude: 5,500 ft

In this video, Glen from Glen's Hangar embarks on an 850-mile round-trip flight in his light aircraft (callsign Foxtrot Mike Victor Uniform) for a singular, high-stakes mission: finding Green Chartreuse. After discovering the elusive liqueur is completely sold out in Ontario (LCBO), he locates a bottle at an SAQ in Quebec City.
The video captures the full aviation experience, including:
Flight Planning & Logistics: Checking inventory across provinces and calculating fuel/ground speed against headwinds.
Cockpit Action: Real-time ATC communications with Toronto Center, Montreal Center, and Quebec Tower.
The Journey: A 3-hour and 45-minute flight to Quebec City, followed by the return trip to finally mix "The Last Word" cocktail for a friend.
Scenic Highlights: Aerial views of the St. Lawrence River and Quebec City landmarks like the Twin Bridges.
