As a 50 year old want to be pilot (could never justify the cost) I subscribe to many aviation channels, I love seeing the views. Your channel is by far the best, where most just concentrate on the flying, yours is about the journey, which takes us with you. Having just completed the coast to coast series, I felt like I was in the passenger seat, along for the adventure. Thank you for doing what I have dreamt about.
So, gentlemen, I have just finished watching your adventure flying Coast to Coast, East to West. Using Josh’s words: “my jaw is on the ground.” What an amazing blend of flying skill by two great Airmen, superb video productions, and awe inspiring displays of human emotion, appreciation, and your love of life. You two are so blessed and thanked by so many who take the time to witness your love of life and your observations of the creation into which you were born. Thank you so much.
I just sat down and watched all 7 videos of your epic trip. I am 65 years old have only 250 hours of flight time and people ask me why I want to fly. I watched the videos and I know why I love flying.. If any one was to watch your wonderful videos and cant understand why I love to fly......well all I can say is viewing your videos Coast to Coast brought tears to my eyes! Thank you for the emotional ride!.
Josh, I wish TH-cam did an award show for their TH-camr. This series was amazing to watch. I must say I was living a little vicariously through your videos. Well done and Congrats on winning the award for BEST mini-series.
Sir I have to say this. Your calling is video production, movie producing etc etc etc and aviation is your avenue and perspective to bring that to those of us who are unable to view this amazing world from that special perspective. Thank you Tons !!!!!
You know how blessed you are to get to do what you do, and what you just did, right? And those of us who have followed you for years, are blessed as well to share in your adventures. They inspire!
Funny how the traffic gets less and radio chatter dies down as you've headed West. Until you hit LAX. Busy. This has been an excellent series. Glad I got to live vicariously through it.
FAA ramp checks have been going on for years, they just want to make sure your certificates and such are good and up to date, nothing really to worry about, unless you have an expired medical card. Department of Homeland Security and Customs and Border Patrol, since at least 2012 that I am aware of has been performing ramp checks that are more towards criminal activity and searches of the airplane and baggage than safety compliance. FAA people aren't armed and dig through your bags, the DHS and CBP are and do. It is that gray line they intentionally put into every law.
These are probably the best avionic vids on the tube. It gets old watching the trip in the airplane, but never see the "adventure" or destination. My vote is do way more of these. Now, I'm off to watch the series again. Seatbacks and trays in the upright position please.
Unbelievable, Josh. Congratulations on a truly epic adventure. Words can never describe how beautiful it is watching the sun sink over the Pacific Ocean until you see it for yourself.
Could you make a video, or spreadsheet explaining every cent spent on the trip. Like rental cars, food, gas and fees...etc. I would love to make this trip one day
Josh, after years of growing up and watching your videos, I learned that you shouldn’t take advantage of what the world has to offer. It has truly been an honor watching your content for the past 4 years and I can’t wait for what’s in store.
Josh, best aviation series I've ever seen. On a personal note, I grew up in West Texas and New Mexico and your visuals helped me remember the great places I grew up in as a boy.
I am a student pilot and soloed for this first time today. I am also an enthusiastic photographer / videographer. Watching your videos always inspires me on multiple levels. Thoroughtly enjoyable and I always look forward to the next exciting adventure! Keep them up. Peter from Sydney Australia.
You know Josh, through the years of watching your videos, I have never been this emotional watching this last bit of the series and I may have shed a tear or two, but it is without a dought in my mind that you are if not the best pilot vlogger and best pilot that I know. I LOVE your videos and I'm for sure looking forward to you future. Cheers to you man. I really want to shake your hand again too. It definitely was a pleasure meeting you at oshkosh 2015. I still have that hat you signed too.
Agree. Trent Palmer releases some pretty epic videos too. But in all fairness, he works in the film industry and has access to some pretty rad equipment. I like how you went from documenting your ratings to story telling, giving us detailed insight into what aviation has done for you. It’s fun to watch!
Thank you for this beautiful series of videos. Arizona is in my heart but the Santa Monica Beach and Pier is in my soul. Thank you very much to allowing everyone to see my beautiful Hannah, I do weep for her in my heart. I hope she can still hear me. Again my thanks for this video series is beyond words, I am truly thankful and grateful to you two, your beautiful airplane. Many safe journeys, and may the angels always guide and lift your wings. Until we met again. Thank you so much, I haven't the words to express my thanks for this. Peace.
Thank you so much for some fond memories of my own. I flew out of SMO for many years, my dad and I wandered all over the Southwest and you helped me relive fantastic memories.
Josh, thanks so very much for this incredible video series. This old, former pilot has lived vicariously through you and I can't thank you enough. I just rejoined the AOPA because of you sharing your love of flying with us. Thanks again young man. From a fellow Texas, I thank you!
These videos of your trek across America were fantastic to say the least. Being fixed wing and rotorcraft rated, (I haven't flown in years), I envy your ability to make such a journey. For those of us that are earthbound please continue your story. I feel as if I'm in the right seat during each of your videos. Thanks
Nice work Josh! As an AZ resident it is nice to see home through the eyes of someone else. Come back and enjoy the hospitality of the Old West as often as you can.
Josh, i know this is almost two years old but it was EPIC. I watched the entire trip coast to coast and was sad when it was over. What an amazing journey, and beautiful pictures. I live in SoCal and have been to Santa Monica Pier many times. Sorry you didn't get to to finish the journey to Catalina Island. I really enjoy watching your videos, keep them coming. :)
No lie, some of the most amazing aerial footage I've ever seen. This is probably one of my favorite series on TH-cam, just for aesthetics alone. Keep it up.
Incredible work, Josh. As a student pilot inching closer to my PPL, I cannot wait to begin journeys like this of my own. I seriously appreciate the skill and care you put into this series. Thank you so much
Josh, all I can say is Bravo! You truly have a gift in what you can do with a camera. Can't wait for the bonus videos. I'd love to see all 7 videos as one, full length movie! Keep up the outstanding work!
Josh, your video and narrating skills are becoming extremely good! I can only imagine how much fun that trip must have been! Simply stunning cinematography.
What a great series. Totally enjoyed this. As a Californian, I am almost embarrassed as to what you saw here on our coast. You made it look amazing but you and I know, now, CA is not what it is seems to most. Thanks for your amazing footage and your great script.
You could say that we have witnessed so many wonderful sights and sounds as you presented us through these great experiences you have had and now we too have done the same, thank you.
Loved the quote "that every minute of this trip, vastly soared beyond our expectations" [19:38]. Very apt. Same applies to us watching it here! An outstanding journey, brilliantly captured and presented. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Josh - greetings from South Africa 👋👋 - as a “half American” (Son of a WWII Navy flier PBY-9 Amphib & an English air hostie), living in SA. You have taken me all across the US through the lens your camera - magnificent images 👍 As a private pilot and aircraft broker - I have been watching your channel for some time now, and am continually impressed by your professionalism, your magnificent images, your enthusiastic commentary and reminders of the magic of flight 😎 Now going through your Alaskan adventure series (where I “bumped” into your channel) = frikken awesome stuff !! Thank you young man - keep it up 👍 If I get to somewhere nearby in Texas - I will come and visit 🤩
Thanks for sharing your adventure with all of us. In doing so, you allowed many of us, who will never be able to personally fulfill similar dreams,, to vicariously fulfill our dreams. You cinematography and narrative were perfect and more importantly a beautiful experience. Hats off to both of you for a job very, very well done!
Josh, I'm addicted to TH-cam (mostly aviation but ships, travel and more). I've been a pilot since 1979 with a lot of hours in Skyhawks and Archers. Let me say three things: 1. This series and each video individually are the single most breath-taking videos on TH-cam (IMHO). 2. You're living my dream; my wife and I love Florida, travel, exploration, history and the West. Bucket list item for me is to fly Route 66 from Chicago where I live amid Polar Vortexes, to Santa Monica, and show my wife - who's not the most comfortable in the air, but a real trouper - the Grand Canyon, Mount Rushmore, the desert and mountains from the air. And the last thing I'd like to say is: Thank you.
Cinematography and the music combined are epic. flying videos are obviously entertaining and that's why most of us are here, and youre a true pro and it shows in this video, but its a combination of both that makes this channel impressive. keep up the great work and thanks!
I was raised in Santa Monica hundreds of years ago, and am now living in Kerrville, TX. I thoroughly enjoyed accompanying you on this trip. Thanks for taking me along on this epic coast to coast trip. No wonder you are one of my favorite subscriptions! Good luck on your way home!
Josh and Arnaldo, I really enjoyed following along with you guys on this absolutely epic journey, thank you so much for sharing this with us! I was really excited to see you guys stop at F70 French Valley along the trip, that is my home airport! I live just across the street. I was listening to the air traffic when I was at home hoping to catch you guys on the radio along the journey, but I must have missed when you guys stopped here. Glad you guys had a safe trip, look forward to watching more videos from this trip as you post them! -Gavin
Awesome job. Great photographical, and video work. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us. No matter, how long you have been flying, or how much experience you have as a pilot. There is ALWAYS, ALWAYS, there is something that you can learn, and take away from Aviation 101 ! Thank you.
Love all of your videos! I’m back into aviation after spending about 30 years doing other things so all of your videos is very inspirational to me! Thanks for all you do
We want more! We want more! We want more! :-D What an epic trip! I was like a kid again almost unable to wait for the next part! The scenery is really unforgettable. If this is the way forward for your channel, then I am there!
Thanks Guys, I live my Aviation days thru you. Flight crew member on Air Force choppers for 23 years with over 5000 hrs of flight time all over the world some nice places and some not.
Dudes that was very cool. I used to live in AZ for 25 years and now live in SoCal for just over 20 plus years. I first got my private pilot’s license in AZ in the late 80s. I had driven up to Sedona many times. The first time I flew into Sedona airport I could not believe the view and the feeling. It was kind of like landing on a stationary aircraft carrier. Ha. Both places in your video are very special to me since these areas were and are my home. Thanks so much. Great flying and video productions!!!! Always enjoy your videos. Cheers.
You guys motivated me and possibly many more GA pilots to go for a similar adventure and make our own memories. Your good advises on how to plan and budget over 5000 miles round trip would be much appreciated. The quality of your videos is truly outstanding, congratulations for this beautiful work.
Been a long time viewer Josh. Probably one of my most favorite series of videos of your to watch! Thank you so much for all the work you do to share your experiences with those that can’t sit next to you!!!!
Finally finishing up this series! French Valley ! I spent a lot of time there as a kid with my dad as well as the old Temecula airport. Great videos as always
Really enjoyed these videos. This is nearly identical to the trip I made in a C177RG Cardinal in July 2005. I started in Jacksonville Fl, with stops in Destin,Fl, Corsicana TX, Roswell NM, Grand Canyon, and on to Whiteman Field in Los Angeles. I did mine solo in the middle of July, when it was really hot.Great experience.
Amazing series Josh. The best yet. I had my first ramp check a couple weeks ago while heading out on my final stage check before my checkride. The FAA inspector could not of been more helpful and explained everything I had a question about. Job well done!
Light and timing are 2 very important photographic techniques in just getting that right shot. And boy you sure did when you tipped the sea water at Santa Monica beach with that sun setting right at that moment (was actually a bit of an emotional moment for me, 1000's of miles away! ) Great trip and great filming!
That was a super fun trip. Thanks for sharing it with everyone. That plane into Santa Monica was scary close. I use to work in the city many moons ago.
Great series and fantastic job guys... This made me think back to a fabulous trip I once made in a PA30 from KSAF to PAMR, Merrill field, Anchorage Alaska. Thrilled I had the opportunity to do it and, today, even more thrilled I did not pass up the opportunity. Keep up the great work. Fly safe.
Josh, that was one spectacular video series--some breathe taking scenery. Should have stopped at my home field, KOPL to refuel which is a one hour flight from lakefront to the northwest and eliminate the ramp check with the Feds! One hellva of a series guys, very well done. Thanks from Cajun Counrty.
Excellent radio work with Santa Monica Tower, and also excellent CRM from what I could see, e.g. the pre-landing chacklist in Santa Monica... :-) Thumbs up!
WOW, this has got to be the best avation video series I have seen, being from southern California myself, I sure miss those sunsets, Josh your a inspiration for future pilots....
I can't say enough about this series. It was amazing to see your journey from coast to coast. I love how you do your videos and it continues to keep my passion of flying alive. One day I will get my private pilot license and enjoy a journey like yours. Thank you so much for sharing your journeys with us. Keep up the good work. I can't wait to see the extended videos of your trip through the canyon and LA traffic.
Only now, I took the time and watched the whole 6 part series - magnificent! Great video, photo shots, and lots of good information on flying, but also what to do when on the ground! Thanks for sharing this great trip and footage!
Congratulations on completing your mission! Have been to many of those places - decades ago. Nice to see them again. When I was your age and in the Coast Guard, I would drive CA-NC in two 24-hour stretches (roughly noon to noon) with a 24 hour layover in Amarillo. Those were grueling trips! Glad you got to see New Orleans Lakefront. That's where I picked up my Private SEL on 9-23-65. Keep the videos coming. I try to watch them all.
As a 50 year old want to be pilot (could never justify the cost) I subscribe to many aviation channels, I love seeing the views. Your channel is by far the best, where most just concentrate on the flying, yours is about the journey, which takes us with you.

65 years young Ercoupe driver....excellent series...great judgement decisions...bravo!
Gorgeous flight

such amazing visuals! love them it looks so beatiful
Funny how the traffic gets less and radio chatter dies down as you've headed West. Until you hit LAX. Busy.
This has been an excellent series. Glad I got to live vicariously through it.
I used to live 13 blocks away from Santa Monica Pier, Josh. You have no idea how special this is to me. All I can say is "thank you!"
The DHS ramp check! Please tell or do a short story! I don't know anyone that can say they been ramp checked. What did they ask, want, etc?
FAA ramp checks have been going on for years, they just want to make sure your certificates and such are good and up to date, nothing really to worry about, unless you have an expired medical card. Department of Homeland Security and Customs and Border Patrol, since at least 2012 that I am aware of has been performing ramp checks that are more towards criminal activity and searches of the airplane and baggage than safety compliance.

This really would be awesome I would love to do this trip with my father once he retires as a gift for him
every cent? come on man!
I would love to see this too.
I would pay to see it tbh
Josh, after years of growing up and watching your videos, I learned that you shouldn’t take advantage of what the world has to offer. It has truly been an honor watching your content for the past 4 years and I can’t wait for what’s in store.
Ian Grant thank you so much for those words Ian!
Josh, best aviation series I've ever seen. On a personal note, I grew up in West Texas and New Mexico and your visuals helped me remember the great places I grew up in as a boy.
Just binged the 7 videos and realised I had a cheeky grin on my face the entire time. Thanks Josh. Breathtaking.
I am a student pilot and soloed for this first time today. I am also an enthusiastic photographer / videographer. Watching your videos always inspires me on multiple levels. Thoroughtly enjoyable and I always look forward to the next exciting adventure! Keep them up. Peter from Sydney Australia.

I watched this 10 times and asked my wife to watch this series with me.. nice job.. Video and Big big kudos to general aviation and Josh.
Thank you for this beautiful series of videos. Arizona is in my heart but the Santa Monica Beach and Pier is in my soul. Thank you very much to allowing everyone to see my beautiful Hannah, I do weep for her in my heart. I hope she can still hear me. Again my thanks for this video series is beyond words, I am truly thankful and grateful to you two, your beautiful airplane. Many safe journeys, and may the angels always guide and lift your wings. Until we met again. Thank you so much, I haven't the words to express my thanks for this. Peace.
"Ugh, looks like we are not on the center of the runway" One of my favorite quotes from a FVLOG!
I like how you include beer in your post-flight description. Clear sky's and safe landings.
These videos were so well done.
This has been one of the best video series I've watched on the tube. I can't wait to fly!
Thank you so much for some fond memories of my own. I flew out of SMO for many years, my dad and I wandered all over the Southwest and you helped me relive fantastic memories.
Josh, thanks so very much for this incredible video series. This old, former pilot has lived vicariously through you and I can't thank you enough. I just rejoined the AOPA because of you sharing your love of flying with us. Thanks again young man. From a fellow Texas, I thank you!
This might be the very best TH-cam series I've ever seen. And I watch a lot of TH-cam.

Incredible work, Josh. As a student pilot inching closer to my PPL, I cannot wait to begin journeys like this of my own. I seriously appreciate the skill and care you put into this series. Thank you so much
YOu should win an award for this series. Great job,

You could say that we have witnessed so many wonderful sights and sounds as you presented us through these great experiences you have had and now we too have done the same, thank you.
Loved, Loved, Loved this series. Think about making it into a 90min. movie.
Loved the quote "that every minute of this trip, vastly soared beyond our expectations" [19:38]. Very apt. Same applies to us watching it here! An outstanding journey, brilliantly captured and presented. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Josh - greetings from South Africa 👋👋 - as a “half American” (Son of a WWII Navy flier PBY-9 Amphib & an English air hostie), living in SA. You have taken me all across the US through the lens your camera - magnificent images 👍
As a private pilot and aircraft broker - I have been watching your channel for some time now, and am continually impressed by your professionalism, your magnificent images, your enthusiastic commentary and reminders of the magic of flight 😎
Now going through your Alaskan adventure series (where I “bumped” into your channel) = frikken awesome stuff !!
Thank you young man - keep it up 👍
If I get to somewhere nearby in Texas - I will come and visit 🤩
love the shot of Flagstaff in the distance!
Thanks for sharing your adventure with all of us. In doing so, you allowed many of us, who will never be able to personally fulfill similar dreams,, to vicariously fulfill our dreams. You cinematography and narrative were perfect and more importantly a beautiful experience. Hats off to both of you for a job very, very well done!
Is that it? Is the series done?? FINALLY!! YES! I mean, really good videos man.. You look like you really enjoyed yourselves, you smug pair of .......
Just watched your video where Arnald sold his 172!😎😁 didnt realise that it would be to these gentlemen !!!😎👍
LewDix needs to go on the next one. Will he be able to be epic and serious for Josh? Is he up to that quality? Some of the questions of our time.
I’ll bring the banter wagon to 101’s world!
Excellent job Gentlemen! Thanks for taking us along.
Its going to be hard to beat this one, thanks for sharing
Excellent series of video. Congratulations! Pictures fade, memories don't.
I watched all 7 and it was better than any movie I've seen in years. I've really enjoyed it and thank yall.
Josh, I'm addicted to TH-cam (mostly aviation but ships, travel and more). I've been a pilot since 1979 with a lot of hours in Skyhawks and Archers. Let me say three things:
1. This series and each video individually are the single most breath-taking videos on TH-cam (IMHO).
2. You're living my dream; my wife and I love Florida, travel, exploration, history and the West. Bucket list item for me is to fly Route 66 from Chicago where I live amid Polar Vortexes, to Santa Monica, and show my wife - who's not the most comfortable in the air, but a real trouper - the Grand Canyon, Mount Rushmore, the desert and mountains from the air.
And the last thing I'd like to say is: Thank you.
Love the sand and seawater transfer.....
Howdy from Big D and a mile east of KADS!
Man, what a series! Seriously, you ... guys ... killed ... it! Can’t wait for the next one! Bravo dude!
Cinematography and the music combined are epic. flying videos are obviously entertaining and that's why most of us are here, and youre a true pro and it shows in this video, but its a combination of both that makes this channel impressive. keep up the great work and thanks!
@16:25 and that is where Godzilla came from :) what an awesome journey - thanks for sharing!
What a beautiful, awesome journey. Thanks for letting us tag along. Another amazing Aviation101 video.
Stunning photography and an inspiring journey, thanks for taking us along.
I was raised in Santa Monica hundreds of years ago, and am now living in Kerrville, TX.
I thoroughly enjoyed accompanying you on this trip. Thanks for taking me along on this epic coast to coast trip. No wonder you are one of my favorite subscriptions!
Good luck on your way home!
Hundreds of years ago?
Great photography santa Monica pier and sunset were particularly stunning thanks for taking us along
the shot at sunset was dopeee
Great work! The best meaning of "Cross Country". I loved the high workload flying and radio you guys did in SoCal.
You're making me miss LA. I did my solo long cross country to french valley, and got my PPL at Santa Monica. These videos make me miss it.
Josh and Arnaldo,
I really enjoyed following along with you guys on this absolutely epic journey, thank you so much for sharing this with us! I was really excited to see you guys stop at F70 French Valley along the trip, that is my home airport! I live just across the street.

Glad you guys had a safe trip, look forward to watching more videos from this trip as you post them!
-Gavin
The production values, the music and the story telling are in a whole new league and honestly some of the best of any type I see. Wonderful work guys!
Great story Josh!! Love to see more of the time spent in the Grand Canyon airspace.
Awesome job. Great photographical, and video work. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us. No matter, how long you have been flying, or how much experience you have as a pilot. There is ALWAYS, ALWAYS, there is something that you can learn, and take away from Aviation 101 ! Thank you.
Josh, Your videos of the coast to coast just blow me away! Awesome Job!
Josh, the best yet. Super photography, super flying. Thanks.
Love all of your videos! I’m back into aviation after spending about 30 years doing other things so all of your videos is very inspirational to me! Thanks for all you do
We want more! We want more! We want more! :-D
What an epic trip! I was like a kid again almost unable to wait for the next part! The scenery is really unforgettable. If this is the way forward for your channel, then I am there!

Your good advises on how to plan and budget over 5000 miles round trip would be much appreciated.
The quality of your videos is truly outstanding, congratulations for this beautiful work.
Hey! We didn't get to see Arnaldo pour out the vial of sand! He, btw, has some excellent Canon lenses.
Been a long time viewer Josh. Probably one of my most favorite series of videos of your to watch! Thank you so much for all the work you do to share your experiences with those that can’t sit next to you!!!!
Just finished watching this C2C series. Amazing footage. Some of those sites are breath taking. Great work you two.
Finally finishing up this series! French Valley ! I spent a lot of time there as a kid with my dad as well as the old Temecula airport. Great videos as always
Really enjoyed these videos. This is nearly identical to the trip I made in a C177RG Cardinal in July 2005. I started in Jacksonville Fl, with stops in Destin,Fl, Corsicana TX, Roswell NM, Grand Canyon, and on to Whiteman Field in Los Angeles. I did mine solo in the middle of July, when it was really hot.Great experience.
LOVE the shot at 5:35. GA views!!!!
this could be a great story for a movie bringing sand and water from florida to the west coast really liked it
Beautiful finish. Thank you for all the hard work you put to post the videos. Great music. 🙏🏼
Amazing series Josh. The best yet. I had my first ramp check a couple weeks ago while heading out on my final stage check before my checkride. The FAA inspector could not of been more helpful and explained everything I had a question about. Job well done!
So glad i caught this series
Light and timing are 2 very important photographic techniques in just getting that right shot. And boy you sure did when you tipped the sea water at Santa Monica beach with that sun setting right at that moment (was actually a bit of an emotional moment for me, 1000's of miles away! ) Great trip and great filming!
Love to fly up from Phoenix and walk up to that view! Thanks for a great series!
That was a super fun trip. Thanks for sharing it with everyone. That plane into Santa Monica was scary close. I use to work in the city many moons ago.
Great series and fantastic job guys... This made me think back to a fabulous trip I once made in a PA30 from KSAF to PAMR, Merrill field, Anchorage Alaska. Thrilled I had the opportunity to do it and, today, even more thrilled I did not pass up the opportunity. Keep up the great work. Fly safe.
Josh, that was one spectacular video series--some breathe taking scenery. Should have stopped at my home field, KOPL to refuel which is a one hour flight from lakefront to the northwest and eliminate the ramp check with the Feds! One hellva of a series guys, very well done. Thanks from Cajun Counrty.
Excellent radio work with Santa Monica Tower, and also excellent CRM from what I could see, e.g. the pre-landing chacklist in Santa Monica... :-)
Thumbs up!
Great trip and even better video. Santa Monica was were I earned my private ticket in 1967 that was 12.000 Hrs + ago.
I now make the trip from KLYH to LA in 4 hours + or - depending on the winds aloft @ F 450
A pleasant counterpoint to the reality of Chicago's experience of the "polar vortex" for the past few days.
Bravo! Bravo! Simply epic! Well done you two. G'day from Australia.
WOW, this has got to be the best avation video series I have seen, being from southern California myself, I sure miss those sunsets, Josh your a inspiration for future pilots....
Beautiful sunset.
I can't say enough about this series. It was amazing to see your journey from coast to coast. I love how you do your videos and it continues to keep my passion of flying alive. One day I will get my private pilot license and enjoy a journey like yours. Thank you so much for sharing your journeys with us. Keep up the good work. I can't wait to see the extended videos of your trip through the canyon and LA traffic.
Only now, I took the time and watched the whole 6 part series - magnificent! Great video, photo shots, and lots of good information on flying, but also what to do when on the ground!
Thanks for sharing this great trip and footage!
Beautiful but more than all encouraging. Thank you for sharing.
Congratulations on completing your mission! Have been to many of those places - decades ago. Nice to see them again. When I was your age and in the Coast Guard, I would drive CA-NC in two 24-hour stretches (roughly noon to noon) with a 24 hour layover in Amarillo. Those were grueling trips! Glad you got to see New Orleans Lakefront. That's where I picked up my Private SEL on 9-23-65. Keep the videos coming. I try to watch them all.
