cirrus sr22 g7 headed north crossing the appalachian mountains

Happy New Year and welcome back to the sky with us in 4-Charlie-Charlie! This is the return trip from Florida to Michigan in the first half of December 2024. The weather was much better than on the way down, and I found a great airport restaurant (KSJS). Come along for the adventure! As always, please remember that this video is not instructional, and I’m not a certified flight instructor (CFI). A significant amount of content has been edited out for brevity. I do my best to follow all checklists and safety protocols. Thank you for watching!
