Pilot and plane owner sharing general aviation videos. The aircraft is a 2003 Cessna SkyLane 182T with a few after-market modifications. Most flights are in and out of Dallas Texas. I love flying and watching other people's flights, so I decided to contribute to the cause and start making and sharing some of my own.
I am also a part 107 commercial drone pilot. My equipment includes: DJI Mavic Pro 2, DJI FPV, DJI Mini 2, and a DJI Inspire 1.

Horseshoe Bay! Cross Country Flight to a Fly-in Resort near Austin Texas

We fly the SkyLane to Horseshoe Bay, a Fly-in resort outside of Austin, Texas. The resort has its own airport, KDZB. We swim at the Yacht Club, wakeboard on Lake LBJ, and relax. The general aviation cross country flight is about 150 nm, and took about 1 hour each way in the Cessna Skylane 182T. We flew from Grand Prairie Municipal Airport (KGPM) and flew through and under the DFW Bravo airspace...
First Solo Night Flight - First Night-Time Private Pilot Currency Flight in DFW in a Cessna Skylane
มุมมอง 4K3 ปีที่แล้ว
In this video I share my first night-time currency experience. In order to stay current as a private pilot, every quarter I have to carry-out three full stop landings at night. I did a couple of laps in the pattern (full stop taxi-back) and then headed into the south-eastern section of the DFW metroplex. I flew over Dallas Executive (KRBD) and Mesquite Metro (KHQZ) during the third flight, and ...

Kansas City! A Round Trip Flight from Dallas to Charles B Wheeler Downtown Airport for BBQ and More
มุมมอง 1.1K3 ปีที่แล้ว
This was one of my favorite days. My son and I left the house early morning one day in June. We were airborne and in the DFW bravo airspace by 8am. We flew to the Charles B Wheeler Downtown Airport in Kansas City (KMKC). After landing we jumped in an Uber and headed to the national WW1 memorial and museum. This museum is incredible, and I highly recommend visiting it. Then we continued the tour...

My favorite video so far. My son and I jumped into the SkyLane for a weekend trip to Big Cedar Lodge in Branson Missouri. The flight there was great! VFR through the Bravo airspace and directed over Dallas Love Field, KDAL. We flew over some fires and then arrived at our destination, Branson Municipal airport, KBBG. At Big Cedar we ate, bowled, shot guns, golfed and watched the super bowl. Then...

Dallas Texas to Branson Missouri in a 182 SkyLane
Awsome video! I fly out of KHQZ so it’s cool to see someone share their flying experience that flys in the area.
i’ve just gone through a couple of your videos, currently doing my PPL at parrish aviation here in Dallas. Love your content man! definitely helps seeing footage of comms + flights that you’ve done. Don’t stop posting! id love to see more content. Also my name is jonathan too haha
Thanks! I just rewatched this video for the first time in years. My communication was pretty bad! Good luck with the PPL. I am approaching 350 hours now in the same plane and I have loved every minute of it. I might start making videos again. I have a lot of video that I just have not edited. Lately I just fly and don't bother with the cameras. I've had some great flights that I wish I recorded. (e.g., Grand Canyon)
By the way, want to cruise ten knots faster and still have the safety and even lower stall speed of a 182, think seriously about the Kenai conversion from Peterson performance, best and safest airplane in the world.
You get a lot more dope landings like that in a real airplane like a 182 vs the fake light sport garbage. They try so hard to promote lightsport stupidity but never show how planes like the Sling get tossed around like a paper airplane making you nauseated.
What a fun trip! I was excited to run across your video since I almost flew my 2003 T182T to Angel Fire last February (weather pooped out last minute so drove it - ugh). You paint job is the same as mine so checked the registry to see what year you were, only to find you must live down the block from where I lived for almost twenty years on Kings Highway! Blue skies!
wow what a coincidence! Angel Fire is a fun one. More difficult than Taos IMO. Thanks for watching!
Great video man. I stumbled across it today. I grew up in San Saba and used to flight instruct out of Grand Prairie so fun to watch. Thanks!
@@patrickmccarty3989 thanks! I still fly out of Grand Prairie
why no vids in a year?
Still flying, just not taking the time to install the cameras and make videos. I am thinking about it though! Thanks for asking.
Such a cool video! Thanks for sharing! Flying at night is so amazing
We’re you on VFR flight following?
Yes
Nice job! Someday, maybe, I'll get this done too! How far is it between the hangers?
Nice job! But never say takeoff before you get a takeoff clearance. Say departure
So, I should announce that I’m “ready for departure” and then confirm the takeoff clearance once i receive it? That’s a great tip that I’ll add to the repertoire. I just passed 250 hours in the same plane this past weekend.
@@jonathanszarzynski yeah in general the FAA heavily discourages the use of the words takeoff before t/o clearance is received because there have been lots of accidents related to confusion around that word being used before clearance was given. A good rule of thumb is that you shouldn’t be the first one to use the word, the controller should. But you did a great job overall and I’m sure you’re gonna remember this forever! I did some solos but I still have only done dual CX so far. Hopefully I’ll get to do this sometime soon :)
not everyone who gets into an airplane needs to make videos about it.
Thanks for watching!
Amazing! I just did my first solo yesterday, I share a lot of the same feelings, even 2 years after you posted this video!
Awesome - congratulations!
I fly out of kgpm. Might fly up to Duncan. Any airport restaurants you recommend in Texas or Oklahoma?
There are a lot! Jakes Joint at KADM is nice. I like the geography change headed north into Oklahoma, but managing the Bravo from KGPM to KADM can be stressful. I should not have done that on my first cross country solo. Going to Stephenville KSEP and hitting up Hard8 BBQ is fun. Call Hard8 and they will come pick you up from the airport. Going east, Tyler Pounds KTYR has a diner and an airplane museum. Going south, if you have the time and fuel, fly to the gulf coast. It's a wonderful change of pace from DFW. Texas Gulf Coast Regional KLBX has a diner called Runway Cafe that's a nice stop. One of my favorite solo flights was KGPM to KLBX where I stopped, enjoyed some shrimp and fueled up. Then I took off and flew up the coast to the east side of the Houston metroplex (over and past Galveston), and then back home. That was a great day.
Nice flight, I take my check ride next month. Would like to start recording my radio communications for self critique. What are you using to record? Thx
I use a cable from nflight.com that connects to a gopro. Good luck on the check ride! I found that recording helps a lot with review and self critique.
My dad was an airline pilot and when I was young he used to take me up in his pa-28. He passed away last year and I can tell you first hand some of my best memories were sitting up front and pointing out points on his navlog. Love the videos sir. Brought me back for a second.
Thank you for letting me know! I make these videos for myself so that I can relive the adventures. I appreciate knowing that these videos mean something to someone else. Thank you.
love your comments about the nerves.....i get up there and go....what the hell am i doing up here..then i come back to why i love flying..the rush....
Thanks for watching! Every flight is a new adventure
oh man when I was stationed in El Paso I would hit up Carlos & Mickey's allll the time <3
Congrats 👏!
Was nice to see my Cardinal as you were taking off from GPM. Great Vid! New subscriber…
I’m looking at flying towards ABQ from the same direction as you. What altitudes were you flying to get over the mountains?
I don’t really go over the mountains, I go around them. Generally at 10.5k going VFR west. I’m in a non-turbo and no bottled O2.
Love the video hope to one day to the same with my family
Most important things a ,an/woman 's life : Walking , riding a bike , first solo flight . All the rest is BS
Awesome video.. where did you go?
That's my home based airport getting my ATP at the flight school at that location
Nice recording and the 360 views 👌 And I'm moving to Dallas student pilot hopefully we can meet!
That would be cool!
I just discovered your channel. ✈ Late on the congrats but Congrats! Nice landing. 🤙🏽
Thanks!
JS is mediocre.. so many other better joints.
Nice! I’m in Indy now but have been to Duncan quite a bit 😂
Love the view from the tail cam ,...amazing !!!
Awesome thanks for the comment!
Hi roughly what was your round trip cost?
it depends on what you include in costs. It's about $500 in fuel. Cost per hour (after fuel) fluctuates a lot.
Your videos are so inspiring. Beginning my aviation journey (PPL) starting this week. Watching all your videos and watching them again lol. FYI... we are just south of KC. Really cool to see those videos of KC and Branson. Missouri is our home state. Keep those videos coming as they are absolutely fantastic!!!!
Thanks man! General aviation will change your life! Stick with it - you’ll create incredible memories for yourself and others.
love your content, i know you will become big one day!
Thanks! This is encouraging. I’ve collected a lot of footage over the last 6 months. I need to get back to making videos!
Hey man, I posted on one of your previous vids. Since then I’ve been taking an online ground school and go for my medical later this month. How often do you fly?
not much this summer, but I try to go once or twice a month.
I just stumbled across you channel. Thanks for sharing these memories. Trips like this create some very special memories!
Thanks for the nice comment! Aviation creates some incredible memories for sure!
Cool video!! How many hours did that take? I grew up in El Paso and live in Dallas now.
Thanks! It’s about a 3-3.5 hour flight in the Skylane
Man, I’m here in Kc and this really makes me want to get a PPL… how long was that flight?
Right around 3 hours. You should get the PPL!
that annoying music sure does suck
My first negative comment!
@@jonathanszarzynskiI thought the music was very fitting given the flight/environment 👍👍👍
Music is perfect! Don’t pay attention to that troll
Thanks for sharing brings me back nice memories.
Fiorella’s is decent barbecue. Respectable. But I’m surprised anyone told you it was the best. Unless they were meaning it was the best place you could get to on foot from where you were. Neither of the places you went were a bad choice but I wouldn’t put either of them in my top ten. Kansas City has more barbecue restaurants per capita than any other city in America though so there’s a ridiculous amount of places to choose from and if you ask twenty different people their favorite place you’ll probably get twenty different answers.
Where should I go on the next visit?
I really have enjoyed your adventures with your son. I fly a Cessna 182 with my son..share PIC time. You’ve given us some ideas for destinations. What kind of cameras do you use? Some of the best video I’ve seen. Keep up the good work. Blue skies and smooth rides.
Thanks so much! I really appreciate the kind feedback. I use GoPros for the most part. I have both 7s and 9s. The one issue is battery life - it’s terrible. So get some extra batteries. I also recommend a ‘media mod’ from GoPro so that you can grab the audio from the headset. And the media mod is nice when your at your locations. www.nflightcam.com has a lot of great items to help with mounting. I also have an insta360 that I like. I hope you make videos! I love that I’ve been able to capture and save these moments.
@@jonathanszarzynski I wish there were video equipment when I flew it’s Mom and Dad in the 70’s. We owe our passion to them,but unfortunately the moments were not sufficiently captured.
Pure awesomeness. Thanks for the “ride”. I need to get back there.
You adjusted your seat while flying. I knew of a pilot whose seat went to the most far position. She was too short to reach the yoke and rudder pedals. She crashed and expired.
Thanks for the advice and I’m sorry to hear about your friend.
Good music!!
I got to do my first solo this year too, and man this video captures the excitement of the moment! I got to do it on a day just like your day, except in the middle of July. With 180 pounds out of the right seat, that 160 horse Warrior rocketed off even in the late summer heat!
Very cool looking at night. What kind of plane was it. I’m retired now and have time I would love to get my license but I’m a big guy at 390 lbs and I don’t think I would fit in them training planes very good. Keep up the videos
182 Skylane
What kind of plane you flying? I’m looking to get my license
It’s a Cessna Skylane 182T, the bigger brother of the 172. A lot of flight schools use the 172, so the 182 is a fairly easy transition for new pilots.
@@jonathanszarzynski ok thanks I’m retired now and have time but I’m a big guy at 390 lbs and I don’t think I would fit in them training planes it looked like you had a lot room in your plane. Thanks
Next year God willing I'm also going to start my flight training in South Africa at mach1 aviation academy
It’s worth it!
@@jonathanszarzynski thank you
@@jonathanszarzynski can you recommend me a book to read before the training
@@everything4editing. it depends on what you already know about. If you already know how planes fly and how instruments work, get a book on weather. If you know about weather, get a book on how planes fly and instruments. There is a company called ASA that makes books on these topics that are good and most flight schools in the US use them. If your looking for fun reads, Flyboys, and Fate is the Hunter are pretty good.
@@jonathanszarzynski ok thank you
Keep flying and fly often, I remember my first xcountry sole 30 years ago. I quit flying for 9 yrs and am back at it. I'm now over 900 hrs. Get that IFR so it will never stop you flying.
Yeah great job bud, keep at it!
