I have to admit, if you handed me the keys to a fueled tbm and tasked me with ferrying it There’d be a strong chance your airplane would disappear in the Bermuda Triangle for a few weeks I’d come back with a wonderful tan... side effect of the supernatural encounter of course
I’ve watched this video a few times. Each time I can’t help but think how pleased Charles Lindbergh would have been for the heated seats, especially given a westwardly crossing of the ocean.. “you mean I’ve got weight to spare?!?”
Those were some longs days, but at least they were spent mostly in the air. It's hard to believe the ferry pilot does this solo most of the time. I hope he has some good music loaded for those really long legs of straight and level flight!
Chanced upon your video... really well presented..not to technical..and at the same time very nice shots of the aircraft.. locations etc.. educational too!! Thanks for sharing!!
I really enjoyed the flight, the narrator was very pleasant to listen to, he made the flight not so boring, lol. This "Hop, Skip, and a jump" was interesting, especially in a brand new aircraft. I liked the layout of the instrumentation, very friendly. This video deserves more than a little thumbs up so I'm subscribing and ringing the bell too. I hope to see more videos like this, thanks for sharing.
Nice video, I used to do some work at the Prestwick FBO. The golf course you see in the picutre on climb out is Royal Troon, it is a world famous course used for the The Open tournament.
Publish the waypoint identifiers for this journey. This is interesting for aviators. If they have already been published somewhere, give a link, please. Thanks. I wish you that the number of takeoffs was equal to the number of landings! :-)
You know I think this is really cool content and I tried to watch the whole video, I just couldn't take the woodpecker noise in the background the whole entire time.. lol
Interesting routing. I'm a tad curious why he wouldn't have planned something like BIRK-CYFB-CYYQ-KGTF-KCMA and cut out two stops and keep pretty conservative westbound legs.
Thanks for using the metric equivalents in your text. The next step would be, as an 'international news' site to use that as the default in the audio as that's what everyone outside of the USA understands.

This comment is underrated
Hahaha! You should be on a stage!
Cool video, thanks for sharing!
steveo!!! I watch ur vids and flight chops vids!
I have started to love the TBM more and more because of u!
I love to hear about these lil planes covering vast distances
I’ve watched this video a few times. Each time I can’t help but think how pleased Charles Lindbergh would have been for the heated seats, especially given a westwardly crossing of the ocean.. “you mean I’ve got weight to spare?!?”
Yay you mentioned my city Winnipeg Manitoba.....Canadas heart beat!!!!🇨🇦👍
I loved this!! This could have been a 2 hour documentary, really!
Fantastic story! Congrats! Many of us flying the TBM in Flight Simulator now! Blue skies!
Just recreated this entire journey...in a TBM 930 in MFS2020 :-)
Nice. Can you share flight plan some where?
Those were some longs days, but at least they were spent mostly in the air. It's hard to believe the ferry pilot does this solo most of the time. I hope he has some good music loaded for those really long legs of straight and level flight!
This is so cool! This is what air travel supposed to be!
What a great story. Thank you for sharing!
I felt like I flew with you. Great video and narration.
Excellent video! Direct to the point, even all the fuel stops :)
Totally enjoyed this video! Great footage and commentary! So glad I found this channel.
Great video, well done and to the point! Such an amazing and beautiful way to see the world, that's flying for you people :)! Safe skies!
That was a fantastic summary of an epic flight. Really enjoyed the narration!
Excellent video and commentary. Keep up the good vlogs.
Very good video! Comfortable to listen to, interesting narration and video. Keep up the great work.
These are the best videos
Nothing like excellent video quality with an even better narration! Stunning!
Very nice video, more like this please :) Sounds brutal, i couldn't do a trip like this. Respect to the ferry pilots around the world!
Chanced upon your video... really well presented..not to technical..and at the same time very nice shots of the aircraft.. locations etc.. educational too!! Thanks for sharing!!
Amazing!
Great video and nice adventure!!
Great video, thanks for sharing! I absolutely would love to own and fly a TBM!
Great travelogue. Thanks for posting it!
Gorgeous trip
Awesome trip. As a pilot this would be a dream come true
What a way to see the world.
Enjoyed your video and I look forward to your next video.
Great video, thank you!
What an amazing experience with a stunning and reliable aircraft. I enjoyed the video, thank you!
Thank you for sharing this video - if anything it shows that the TBM (AND YOU GUYS) could handle some butt-cold weather!
Beautifully narrated 😊🙏🏽
Great video, very much enjoyed it.
AWESOME VIDEO, PLEASE KEEP THEM COMING, SO GUYS LIKE ME CAN LIVE VICARIOUSLY THROUGH YOUR VIDEOS
Awesome video
It would have been nice for you to summarize total fuel burned, total fuel cost and then finalize by cost per mile for this long trip.
Yep i was hoping for this also.
Yes it would’ve been icing on the cake
@@aayeh64 Don't you mean icing on the leading edge? ;-)
Beautiful ❣️
Thank You For Sharing
Happy Safe 🛫
Fascinating!
Thanks for sharing ✈️
Impressive flight. She looks beautiful.

Nice job guys.
Amazing trip , I wish I could have like it
Very interesting- thanks!
Great job!!!
Incredible trip congratulations
Well put together.
I LOVE ferry flying.
Oh this was great!
Very enjoyable video
Good narration. I calculated about 7 1/2 miles per gallon from France to Scotland. Beautiful airplane.
Yes, Beawtiful trip for TBM New
I am glad that this was recommended to me
Great clip well done.
Beautiful airplane!
Wow awesome view !

That was the flight common to old days Boeing 707 or Lockheed Constellation. Many stops on Long-haul flights.
Beautiful bird!
solid performance
Awesome Video, not sure I would be brave enough to do it BRAVO
AWESOME
Thanks for the nice ride (even thou it was to darn cold). :)
You flew to my home airport, KCMA. Awesome.
Nice! I live about 8 miles from Camarillo Airport.
Looking very nice....
Beautiful plane and trip. When you crossed over the Hudson Bay I said to myself. I think I would’ve pissed myself if I was on board.
Would love to get a chance to fly a TBM one day!!
this aircraft (or the 940 now) is very close to the holy grail of single engine prop aircraft :)
I wish I would have a chance to make a trip as a copilot from France to USA or Canada. Lol from Germany. I ❤️ TBM
Love the logistics! Thanks.
Man! I want to ferry fly.
KCMA is my home airport!
Nice

Can you give me the source of the cubby hole that they fabricated into the panel? I want to put this into my new avionics panel
i live in tarbes !
Plan to do that one day, except that I’ll be flying my own TBM
Amazing video thank you, my only concern would be needing to go to the toilet! So I could never do such flights as my tolerance is nil aha!
5:22 is that a King air 200? at the front of ur plane?
Interesting routing. I'm a tad curious why he wouldn't have planned something like BIRK-CYFB-CYYQ-KGTF-KCMA and cut out two stops and keep pretty conservative westbound legs.
Never knew a prop-plane like that could fly so far! Nice work guys! 👏🏼
socalsilver There are clearly stops
WattsUpDev for sure, but some of those legs (in very isolated areas) were pretty far.
They didn't fly non-stop because the TBM-910 has a range of around 1700 miles, so they had to land in few places to refuel and get some rest.
Interesting
I like the Pilatus suitcase, lol.
I saw that too. Started scrolling through the comments to see if anyone else picked up on the ironic photobomb
I'll go next time!

Wind at over 100 nm/h? I thought nm/h = knots
Did you fly across the Atlantic Ocean
I was wondering if those turboprop small bussiness aircrafts can fly over the oceans. Guess I got my answer.
Great airplane.A MOONEY stole by french.I have The Mooney book written and autographed by Larry Ball.Talked to him in person.Before he passed away."Those remarkable Mooneys. "
France didn't stole anything, but paid what was due. Fake news from you. Shame on you.
:)),,, no adsb built in?

If you are a competent, experienced pilot, it's not an extremely dangerous job. If it was, then there would be few competent, experienced pilots left.
Hands up if your doing this flight in FS2020!
Great video! Id love to hear how much did you guys pay in fuel & landing/airport/customs fees.
