Return trip from Baton Rouge LA.

The lack of the plane starting warranted a tow down to maintenance.
Once the starting problem was fixed I picked up my IFR clearance with
KBTR Ground.
The video is focused on the progressive taxi instructions I received
from ground with a progress path shown on the airport layout starting
from the bottom right.
I had a friend with me who also is a pilot and I included our
conversation while taxiing since there were two "noobs" bumbling
around on the ground. The person handling us did great on easing the
stress getting from maintenance to the end of the runway by calling my
turns per my request. Dunno about others based in uncontrolled
airports but operating on the ground for me at towered airports gives
me the willies :P
Video ends with my IFR cancellation with KJAN approach.
Good stuff, thx!
