Great video Ben, I really love the EMA controller I spoke to her the other day for a service and she was fantastic giving advisories. Great example of GA safely transiting class D any not interfering with commercial traffic. Looking forward to part 2!
Good to see you back in the skies Ben. Hope Manchester reopens fully soon. I'm due to go to Turkey on the 5th of August from Manchester... Hoping to get started with PPL from Barton when I get back, a decision largely based on watching your videos.
Great video as usual Ben. I did a similar flight over Leeds Bradford the other day and, whilst the airport is a lot smaller, what struck me was things like the empty car parks. Also, usually it seems like GA radio chatter is noise litter for ATC whereas at the moment they seem to be happy for the company!
Wow, amazing pictures over EGCC. Here's hoping things get back to normal soon, and you get back into the airlines where you've worked so hard, and deserve to be Ben. All the best from EGNT.
@@PlaneOldBen Will do! Btw - have you tried the weather feature? I was hoping to display weather on my phone and have the main SkyDemon display on my iPad mini. I'm looking forward to giving it a go. All the best!
Great video as ever Ben! Sad to see all those aircraft grounded at Manchester, but interesting watching the transit overhead! Currently studying my PPL out of Barton & love following your adventures :-) Cheers Mark
Plane Old Ben actually makes me sad! I live under a popular commercial flight path and only see about 5 aircraft a week now if I’m lucky. This time of the year I would normally see that every hour!
Ayyy bro, I saw you flying from the ground. Was flying rc planes a little way from east Midlands and say your aircraft fly over head. At the time didnt know it was you until I saw your Instagram story🤣
Great video, Ben - loved it 👍
Thanks buddy! Really been enjoying your XP11 videos recently.

East Midlands are always really accommodating!
That was a nice pleasant, uninterrupted flight Ben. Thank you for bringing us along with you.
Thanks a lot as always, Gary!
subscribed! Thanks Ben, going for my LAPL this year covid allowed, as it happens EGNH is on my doorstep, might see you about !
Good luck finishing your LAPL off!
Thanks Ben, nice to see you come to my neck of the woods, I'm 4m north of EGNX
Oh lovely! The next video I transit EMA so you’ll have to keep an eye out for your house!
Very enjoyable flight, especially the "fly-over" of Manchester. Thanks for sharing ✈✈✈✈✈
Cheers Ken!

Good luck starting your PPL, Jack! That’s really good to hear.

Great to hear you're flying, Tom! Leeds is a great airfield I've visited a few times.
Good to see you back in the air Ben.
Hope you find another full time job with the airlines again soon.
Thanks Sean, I’m back working now and super happy!
@@PlaneOldBen 👏👏
I've taken that bird to France and back, beautiful bit of kit
Awesome!

Thank you that’s really kind!
Nice transit. Interesting to hear the survey aircraft I-GAUS on station, it's been flying over the SE for weeks, back and forth.
Must have been put to work, hard!
Good to see you up and about again Ben 👌👍
Thank, Kevin!
Great video. Loved the transit over MAN. Thanks Ben.
Cheers Richard, glad you enjoyed it.
Excellent video Ben. I have been considering the Echo 2 and I think I'm convinced now. Thanks for taking us along!
That's fantastic, I'm a real advocate for it - make sure you use the code!

@@PlaneOldBen Right - I've placed my order online! Tx again for sharing your real-life flying experiences!
This helps alot with my theory and practical so thanks
Good to see my home field Tollerton feature on a different youtube channel other than someone local!.
Thanks! I’ve a few video flying in and out of there from my CPL training.
Brilliant video, excellent flying.
Would really enjoy being a passenger watching you fly, i would learn so much.
Thanks a lot, Barry!

Great flight Ben, good to make use of all that empty Class D whilst you can!
Thanks for the continued support, Joe!
Another great vid, nice shot over man!
Thank you very much, Will!
Very enjoyable, I've seen this aircraft a few times over my house near Wigan/Haydock - never know, maybe one of the times it was you :)
You never know!
Quite a number of 737 Max’s at MAN too nothing to do with COVID though ! . Enjoyed the flight and looking forward to the next episode .
Thanks a lot, David!
Thomas cook aircraft still on the ground as well! Thought they would have been shipped off by now
It’s such a shame seeing all the aircraft down there isn’t it!

Great video Ben loved the part over egcc
Thanks Lewis, great to see you’re back to flying lessons again!

That’s awesome Tom good luck!
Legend.
Once again a great video👍
Thanks a lot, Ben!
Rare to see MAN so quiet ✈️
It’s such a shame, really hope it gets going again soon.
Great video. Love me a good zone transit
Thanks a lot buddy!
Great video as always, very sad to see all the aircraft parked at Manchester
It really is, thanks a lot James.

Thank you very much, Ben!
Was meant to fly today, but flight instructor forgot i was coming :( Nice vid tho!!! And what a lovely lady at East Midlands
Oh no 😂 hope he doesn’t forget the next lesson!
@@PlaneOldBen Tell me about it, Was perfect conditions today too!! Heard my lovely GGE on your radio though!
live 3 miles from halfpenny airfield great video BUT whats with the camera wobble ?
Vibrations, too busy flying the aircraft to fix it so it is what it is!
Great video Ben. When you get your ATPL will you put go pro's in the plane and film your flights? Would be cool! :D
I won’t be sorry, but nice thought!
Ayyy bro, I saw you flying from the ground. Was flying rc planes a little way from east Midlands and say your aircraft fly over head. At the time didnt know it was you until I saw your Instagram story🤣
That’s awesome!
Very nice flight, get up to much in Nottingham?
Paid for the landing fee then headed to Wolverhampton!
Hi ,does anyone know what a girly 3 x-ray departure is ?
11 minutes in and I reckon your right above my house :)
Class!
How long did it take to fly from Blackpool to Nottingham?
Around an hour, I didn’t cut too much out of this flight!
You flew over my house - I should have waved!
Dang if only you knew!
@@PlaneOldBen I live on one of the Tollerton approaches
Niccccee!!
Thanks for watching!
