Challenging flight! Flying the TBM 960 from Richland, Washington to Bend, Oregon!

Join me on a thrilling flight in the TBM 960 as I navigate from Richland, Washington (KRLD) to Redmond, Oregon (KRDM) through dense wildfire smoke!

In this video, I take off VFR into challenging conditions, battling low visibility and moderate turbulence. You'll experience the "fun" of piloting through smoke-filled skies, and see how I adapt to the ever-changing environment while trying to locate the airport.

Watch as I share insights on flying in less-than-ideal conditions, and enjoy the breathtaking views (when we can see them!) on this unforgettable journey.
