I flew around Egypt today. Took a tour over the pyramids, headed to the Gulf of Suez, over the City of Suez, then up the Suez Canal to Port Said, back over Cairo and then landed. All in the TBM 930. Left and departed from Almaza Bay just outside of Cairo.

Purchased the Fenix A321. Tried out a handfly landing at CYVR RW26L. It is fun learning the Airbus way!

In Jan 1944, 23 young men faced the most perilous fight of their lives. In the middle of the Pacific Ocean, 6 of those pilots & 22 Corsair aircraft were lost in one of the worst air disasters in US Marine Corps history. Although the incident took place during the most furious phase of the Pacific War, not a single plane was downed by enemy action. They were victims of bad weather, technical difficulties, poor planning &, most of all, careless command & control. Hope you like. Cheers.

Ms Harriet Quimby (1875 – 1912) was the 1st women in the USA to gain a pilot’s license, & the 1st women to fly solo across the English Channel. She was a beautiful, high-profile feminist, journalist & playwright, & a powerful advocate for aviation & for women in aviation. She died tragically in her Bleriot XI monoplane at an airshow. Hope you enjoy. Cheers.

Not my video but I found it online years ago and recorded it as I can no longer find it online anymore.

Canadian George Beurling DSO DFC DFM (1921 - 1948) was the top fighter pilot Ace in the brutal Battle/Seige of Malta in WW2, & Canada’s top WW2 Ace. He was a superb Spitfire fighter pilot. He survived many crashes, but died tragically in an aircraft crash in 1948. Hope you enjoy. Cheers.
