This was first video I saw of you. I still come back to it from time to time for the good vibes of the intro and thinking how lucky I am to get to ride along. Another Air Force Veteran.
Sometimes it's the only way to get a video off the recommendations list. Some people are just not interested. There is a 3 dot menu on videos you can use now.
i had a job sniffing farts. I worked at the only place in town to get a job. Minimum wage. It was the local quicki-mart. My manager was a bad person. She would make me come in when she was there to check-up and work every day. My main job I had to do was sniff her farts and try to guess what she had eaten the night before and what she had for breakfast. It stunk bad but I had bills to pay and could not get out of town at the time. I did it for 2 years without a raise until I had saved enough to get a bus ticket to Los Angeles. Once there i was picked up by Harvey Winestein at the bus station. He hired me to.....you guessed it, .....sniff his farts. They stunk of lox, bagels and gefiltefish, with a hint of motza ball.
Thanks for another great video! I especially enjoyed the cloud shots on your decent into KTYQ! Once a weatherman always a weatherman! Was a observer and forecaster in the USAF, retired in 1996. Thank you for your service!!
$8.07/gallon!? 🤤 Keep up the fantastic vlogs Mr Mink. I'm a fellow pilot, and your videos are the epitome of professionalism in the cockpit. Cheers brother
A professional wouldn't be doing paperwork and looking at his cellphone while taxiing. I hope he shows the video of going off the taxiway when it happens. But, he probably won't.
Could not agree more my man. If I were you I would consider a new P1D tee shirt. The very day I received mine in the mail my life changed. I had to make a run to the mall to escort my daughter to the shoe store. As she was shopping for the perfect pair of shoes, I was waiting with a watchful eye on her from the food court. It was then two young ladies approached me.... "O M G!! Do You Know Greg Mink!!" ah, no, we never met but he has been here to Shreveport and had a fine dining experience at Country Tavern. "We Love This Guy" they were very adamant about this fact. I ask, Do you know Greg? "No, but we are huge fans." The gist of the story is I'm never approached by hot 20 something chicks for any reason what so ever. It was the P1D shirt bro. It will change your life.
ya mad bro? Wishing someone would trash his or her plane because YOU don't possess the necessary skills to get rated in a 150? That's okay man. Hang in there. We all can't be awesome. Just learn to live with it.
Fuel charge is still paying for the fuel farm I started filling the flats for in 1966. Like your series, catching each one as you publish! Thanks, Greg!
Another stellar video by a top-notch airman. Great to ride along on your longer videos where nothing is rushed. Always a treat. Thanks, and blue skies!
I love your videos! I find them to be very calming and often watch them before I go to sleep. They have become a great distraction from Hurricane Irma. Thank you so much for sharing your love of flying with us.
Well, honestly, yes and no. I actually find your videos fascinating to watch. I had NO IDEA how much went in to piloting an aircraft. From all the checklists, to the charts and knowing all the places you have to navigate the plane to. THEN, you have to watch your altitude and lbs of fuel, and operate navigation equipment. If the navigation system fails, you have maps you have to know. There are log books to keep up and databases to upload. You have to listen to ATC and stay one step ahead of your plane. Y'all pilots are incredible. It's so amazing to watch. I have no idea how you keep up with the ATC instructions. I certainly can't do it. I can spend HOURS watching your videos. I feel like I learn so much when I watch them. Learning new and interesting this is always important and I LOVE learning. I feel your videos are a great resource for aspiring pilots!! Your videos are also very calming to watch. Sometimes after a long day at work (I am a nurse), I cannot wait to come home and watch your videos to calm my mind. Sometimes it can be hard to unwind after a shift. It's just sooo beautiful up there and yes, sometimes, they put me to sleep, but definitely not because they a boring. :-)
Greg, Excellent video and narration. The look on your face was priceless when you got the bill at Signature before take-off especially the fuel charge. I don't know what you are accustomed to paying for fuel at Indy Exec but that's life in the big city! Keep the videos coming. Was wondering when your next video would appear. My prayers have been answered!
I came across your channel via TH-cam suggestions. 90+% of the time these are utterly useless but on this occasion - spot on! Great video, and also nostalgic I used to fly from Heathrow to Logan and back about every 2 months in a previous life, long before access to the flight deck was prohibited. I was fortunate enough to make the acquaintance of the flight crew, staying in my hotel, who were scheduled to fly me home. Upon taking my seat the captain got one of the cabin crew to take me up to the flight deck for take off, and did the same for landing in London. Brilliant, but your video is so much clearer of the ascent from Logan that I witnessed. Thanks.
Hi there, Greg! It's been a while since I've shot a message to ya! Currently watching this one & also enjoyed your other two newest videos. Still enjoying all of your videos & the P1D t-shirt that I got from you! Man, I tell ya, $3,069 & a whopping 4 cents! Expensive trip! Also, the look on your face was priceless! Nearly had me in tears from laughter! It would put a "sour" look on my face too, though. But anyway, awesome video! I also noted your head-shake, as you were trying to talk to us but were constantly interrupted by ATC. I get it, though, because the radio takes priority in that case. Overall, another awesome one! Clear blue skies & safe flights, my friend!
This Bostonian advises that you had better keep quiet about the beautiful day and the great view down the coast, otherwise you will be charged the "BD" surcharge along with the Massachusetts view tax.BTW thank you for the FBO contribution, the Boston economy appreciates it. As always thanks for taking us along for the ride, most enjoyable.
That "BD" surcharge is how they pay for all of their "Rainy Day" catch basins along the interstates - been over 20 years since I drove between Maine and NY on a regular basis - since then I have lived all over the country and even around the world - to this day I still remember and laugh about the catch basin/pond built exactly at the top of a mountain - it ranks right next to the bridge between 2 mountains here in Costa Rica - beautiful completely finished bridge with no road on either side of it - engineers changed the road and went a half of a mile or more to the south and several thousand feet lower - ROFL (cant even remember exactly where it was - 495 or 95, but I can still see it as clear as a photo in my mind - and for the record, it was a beautiful part of MA. being away from the city)
I appreciate the effort you put in to making these videos. I think I've learned a little bit from each one and the way you talk makes it feel like I'm right there on the plane with you. Continued safe travels.
I've noticed that somewhere in the 33+ years since I've flown, "taxi into position and hold" has become "line up and wait" and former Terminal Control Areas (TCAs) are now "Class Bravo airspace".
@@gregmink It seemed never ending. Thoroughly enjoy your flight videos, as medical issues put my aviation career to bed when I was young. Safe landings from Scotland.
P1 Driver, thanks for another enjoyable flight!! I would also like to say thanks for allowing to live out my dreams of being a pilot. I learned to fly back in the early 80's and was well on my way when some medical issues shut me down but the want-to will never leave me. Thanks again for putting these videos up for us to watch. Regards, Ernie
Great plane (father retired flying G550s for Honeywell a few years back). Here's a photo of the US Bank G550: farm9.staticflickr.com/8328/29454488231_ec117a91be_b.jpg
Wow, at about 37:00 there was a stippled, almost corduroy cloud pattern in the upper left. I've never seen that before. WAIT! No wonder... it was a reflection of the dash top material. However, later on, during descent below 14k, a similar pattern did appear. I wondered who "Brickyard 6061" was. In case anyone else wonders, it was Republic Airlines, based at Indy. Interesting to see ops at a huge airport. That's where they stick ya with those fees. Must be expensive operating that Premier in any case. Thanks for the ride! Always a pleasure!
Flying in and out of Boston seems like driving a car in Boston: an exercise in dealing with sort of controlled chaos! Mahalo - I mean thank you - for another interesting and informative video. (Sorry for the Hawaiian word, but my home is in Hawaii.)
Love your videos Greg! I watch and listen to every second. Always enjoy flying and living vicariously through you on your amazing adventures! Wish I had pursued being a pilot when I was a younger man. Thank you for sharing with us, Sir! -Old Army guy
Pretty costly, however, that's the beauty of a Corp airplane. I enjoyed the ride with you. Your USAF F-16 service is appreciated. Many thanks, MSgt. Avionics Maintenance, Retired. N-6395T
Hey P1Driver! Just want to say how fun it is to follow along with you in the Flight Sim. It's no Level D simulator experience, but Carenado has a nice Premier Jet that with a well modeled flight deck, although the Proline 21 replication is sorely lacking. It is a real treat to try , EMPHASIS TRY, to replicate your real world flights, procedures, flight deck flows and navigational and airmanship "thinking". A thought/question/suggestion I have is if you can do a video about your flight planning. Going through the weights, speeds, lengths, distances, fuel...all that good stuff. I'd really be interested to see that.
Love watching your videos. The next time you come to Boston try KBVY or KLWM. Gas and airport charges are much cheaper. You should be able land your aircraft there. KBED and KBVY is also just outside of Boston on the Route 128/95 belt but Signature is at KBED and has high gas prices. Easy ride to downtown Boston from both KBED and KBVY. Thank you for the videos.
Wow! I stumbled on your channel and did not know the Premier is certified for single pilot ops. Very cool. Nice video out of Logan too. Look forward to more vids. 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks for another great flight. Sure would be nice to see a closeup of the annunciator panel as it lights up during short final through post landing. Or maybe a link to an AFM page that describes each colored lamp. Can hardly wait for the new Proline enhancements! PLEASE Keep up these fantastic vlogs.
At 39:40 you mentioned that you didn't have anyone on board but yourself. NOT True. You had more passengers on board then the largest airliner could hold. You have ALL OF US with you, and this is a very cool ride. To see your control panel and all the chatter that goes on is quite a treat for all of us who no nothing about piloting a jet plane. I'm personally am glad you stuck to your guns and got this bigger jet then the other smaller one. Some only can dream and others DO.
Flew into KBOS once for an Air Life Line flight. The FBO asked "how would you like to handle your landing fees? (~$300)" I said "we think we'll wave them." They said "oh yes, of course."
I'm subscribed to and watch the videos of several, and thoroughly enjoy them. Like a few others, I have developed a LOT more confidence in what goes on in the cockpit of several different aircraft and find myself most comfortable flying with Mr. Mink in the Premier 1. Keep up the great videos!
Always enjoy the video's very much, Wow 8.07$/Gal its worth the descent and climb to a regional airport at that price, ( I thought filling my brothers 182Q was pricey !!)
On of your best, Greg, mixing it up BOS ground with airlines. Excellent cockpit shots more difficult to achieve with someone in the right seat. All of those fees, on top of fuel, WOW! Would like to have fees (other than the obviously titled) explained to us novices.
🤢 My goodness where do you keep the safe on your plane, lol. That look was priceless. I appreciate all you do with your videos. Watching a consummate professional at work doing what they love is impressive. Thank you. Great video and flight. Looking for more great vids in the future.
New guy, old pilot here here in Az. Been binging on your videos. Thanks Greg. Learning a lot from you regarding the glass cockpit. BTW, Got an hour in the F-16 Sim. Tucson, NG. a few years ago. Amazing !
Just come back from a trip to NY & Boston....I know you make frequent trips to Boston. We loved the place and enjoyed boat tours which took us around Logan. I was surprised to see rwy 27 big jet departures over the City and it seems you have to make a quick turn to 140deg I did look out for you but missed you by a few days. It seems Boston is quite expensive for most things but never the less very enjoyable. Loved the video again and the info you give out for us simmers. Thx
I'm a big fan of yours videos. I'm commercial pilot in Brazil, looking for my first opportunity as a pilot and I've been watching your channel since 2016 to improve my english skills and all topics related of aviation, like communication with ATC, Instruments parameters , etc. Tks for spend your time helping all of us in this journey. Congrats.
........if the $8.07 Jet A wasn't bad enough (LMAO on your look @ 1:26)...... Handling Fee (A/C towing..did you have a GPU on 390GM?), massport fee, SEC screen ( TSA I assume) ,.........Infrastructure???? SMH..... enjoyed your vid. Thanks!! Just looked up Signature for current Jet A price @ KBOS......$8.33!!!! WOW
Why are you complaining? Each FBO and airport set prices and you do not have to go there. This is a charter operation and they go where required by business needs. Some people pay $13 for one pizza and never complain it is really a $3 pizza!
I don't think P1D is in the charter business. I believe he uses the plane as a business tool in his family's business. It is Boston and they never disappoint.
Ramon Cardona because they’re price gouging. If their was another FBO as competition they wouldn’t be charging such an outrageous price. At our airport jet fuel is half that price.
@@Rhaman68 Well put. Yeah Airport usually means bucks especially big Metro ones. Here in Nashville it is pricey too, but doubt if it is 8.07 a gallon though.
Recently found your videos and now cannot stop "binge watching" .....Keep up the great work. Love how you include entire process from Pre-Flight to engine shut off. Would love to meet you some time. Thanks for the awesome entertainment Sir.
Love the videos. Have been following you for a while and appreciate the education. As an enthusiast, I always learn something new from your videos. Sorry if this has already been asked and answered, but didn't see it. Was there anything special going on in Boston? Another aviation TH-camr also posted a flight into Boston recently. Thanks!
Knowing you are a former Viper pilot I would love to hear about flying the ultimate jet. I also am an Army LTC and there is parts I can’t discuss. If that is the case never mind. Thanks for the videos.
Hanscom is off rt 128. And rt128 is ALWAYS a traffic nightmare uder constant construction. Id pay the $8 dollahs with a smile. Thanks for the vids! Kudos
Hi P1 driver I had a go at PHANTOM simulator near Harrogate. Yorkshire, England a few years ago and flew it perfectly BUT could not find the BRAKES , ended up running on the grass. Loved It xx PS a REAL COCKPIT!
@Morgus Schmorgus They don't fade when you compare the fees to the revenue for carrying passengers and/or freight. Very soon it becomes apparent that there is no incentive to use that airport.
Rodney Cichon.. nice to see you landing the plane and flying it like a 180 Cherokee.. haha I’m old school not used to all the bells and whistles.. can’t fly anymore had a open heart surgery.. 78 years old now but enjoy watching your professionalism..
Enjoyed that! Liked the intro. Even the taxying was enjoyable, building up the anticipation to the flight. Inspires me to renew my licence when I trip back to NZ later in the year.
You think that is bad, Kansai Fees can total $20,000+ for a Large Heavy carrying Passengers/ or Freight.....and if you need to park a A380,747,777 overnight.....more rings on the register. And every-day people want to know why air-fares are so expensive. Airport fees are the largest expense after fuel expenses for a Commercial Carrier. Payments on a plane,wages,insurance,etc. are nothing compared to Airport Fees ! Dubai has a $20.00-$45.00 Fee for each passenger that gets on or off a Flight.
@@dmcnamara9859 Some sort of landing fee makes sense because the runways alone cost billions at these large airports. But 20k just to land is excessive. $5-10 a person also seems reasonable.
Loved the video. I'm originally from the Boston area. When you were driving to Logan, you drove past Fenway Park. Hope your visit to Boston was a good one.
I've noticed that after startup you roll the yoke and hold it left, then right, (or maybe R then L) and appear to be watching the annunciator panel. What are you checking with that procedure. Found your channel about a year ago and it's at the top of my list. Should I get back to flying someday, and bring cameras along, I will shamelessly attempt to copy your style and just hope to successfully imitate the master!
Brandon Earnhardt - I figured it's something like that, just wondered if it was something more significant than making sure the rigging is right. Thought maybe, because of the swept wing, there was low speed help in roll with the spoilers. But then, I don't know if the spoilers are used for anything other than lift dump on landing.
Ronald Howard LOL No! No! No! I am sure of it. I have seen this in more than one of his videos. He rolls the yoke one way, holds it for few seconds, a light goes out on the annunciator panel, and rolls it the other way, until another light goes out. But in the next video he will explain how I am wrong.... and how he really is checking make sure he removed that wooden clamp from the right aileron. :D
Seeing your 'Ready For Tow' sign reminded me of FOR SALE BY OWNER signs we would put in the cockpit window on our C-9's when we put the jet to bed at our RON or even enroute stops.
irishcurse65 I've been charged $45 to have one person walk through sheltairt at Westhampton, that was a good one too, didn't even shut down... Meridian at KTEB is by far the most fair FBO in the NE
Really Cool! 4th generation Colorado Native, farmer northeast of Denver. We spend a lot of time outside of New Castle with the cousins, that ranch in the area. My wife and I would love to take a ride with you sometime!
Love your channel. I spent the whole weekend watching them. Probably not the best use of my weekend, but enjoyed them immensely. I have long wanted to get my GA, but a being a Diabetic Type 2, looks like I am out of luck.
Don't understand the security screening, what for? You can bring whatever you want. What are they looking for? Also, stylish shades, you do realize that after a certain age there is a limit on "cool" right? ;-)
"you do realize that after a certain age there is a limit on "cool" right?" Only in your mind. You will find life is infinitely more worthwhile, if you stop living it by the constraints of others.
I have to say I love your video's. I wanted to be a pilot growing up that's all I dreamed of. However, I busted up my elbow to many times so I wasn't able to join military. My family didn't have the money to send me to school. So I really enjoy watching your video's wishing I was you talking to ATC going high above the clouds and enjoy the view from up there. Please continue to produce video's your an awesome pilot. Have a great day P1D
The Premier 1 is a light business jet and is certified for single person operation. I can't speak to regulations but he didn't have any passengers on this flight so it's likely he isn't subject to such regulation if it exists.
I thought it was strange too, but as a MA resident, I know how up tight Massport is at Logan given that some of the 9/11 flights left from KBOS. In theory, a pilot or passenger at the GA terminal could walk over to the airline passenger terminals and aircraft and become a threat, so the whole ramp side of Logan is screened space. Terminal E - the international terminal - isn't so far a walk from Signature and the GA terminal, though a pedestrian moving straight over the open area would attract attention. If they stayed closer to the fence, perhaps not.
This was first video I saw of you. I still come back to it from time to time for the good vibes of the intro and thinking how lucky I am to get to ride along. Another Air Force Veteran.
Thank you!
At 39:30, "Nobody on board?" Hey, you have ALL of us on board! But we don't weigh much at all. And we have our own snacks and drinks.

Ha! The exchange at 12:00 is pretty good. "Must be a cloud in the sky down by New York!"
Also, that apex at 13:52 was superb! :D
Pretty costly, however, that's the beauty of a Corp airplane. I enjoyed the ride with you. Your USAF F-16 service is appreciated. Many thanks, MSgt. Avionics Maintenance, Retired. N-6395T
Hey P1Driver! Just want to say how fun it is to follow along with you in the Flight Sim.
It's no Level D simulator experience, but Carenado has a nice Premier Jet that with a well modeled flight deck, although the Proline 21 replication is sorely lacking.
It is a real treat to try , EMPHASIS TRY, to replicate your real world flights, procedures, flight deck flows and navigational and airmanship "thinking".
A thought/question/suggestion I have is if you can do a video about your flight planning. Going through the weights, speeds, lengths, distances, fuel...all that good stuff.
I'd really be interested to see that.
Your videos always are pleasurable, educational and the scenery well sun and seeing the ground from aerial view is fabulous
"I'm sorry, but I simply can't afford to leave you airport." :)
Like charlie on the mta, but instead premier at signature bos
If that’s true ya probably can’t afford to stay parked at the “Hotel California” FBO 🤣🙄🤦🏻♂️
Wow. Never been in the cockpit of a jet. I enjoyed the flight and learned a lot about the mysteries. Thanks for the ride.
Love watching your videos. The next time you come to Boston try KBVY or KLWM. Gas and airport charges are much cheaper. You should be able land your aircraft there. KBED and KBVY is also just outside of Boston on the Route 128/95 belt but Signature is at KBED and has high gas prices. Easy ride to downtown Boston from both KBED and KBVY. Thank you for the videos.
Yes I live really close to both of those
Wow! I stumbled on your channel and did not know the Premier is certified for single pilot ops. Very cool. Nice video out of Logan too. Look forward to more vids. 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks for another great flight. Sure would be nice to see a closeup of the annunciator panel as it lights up during short final through post landing. Or maybe a link to an AFM page that describes each colored lamp. Can hardly wait for the new Proline enhancements! PLEASE Keep up these fantastic vlogs.
I agree. Or an overview of the lights during startup. Would make a good intro tutorial 👍.
At 39:40 you mentioned that you didn't have anyone on board but yourself. NOT True. You had more passengers on board then the largest airliner could hold. You have ALL OF US with you, and this is a very cool ride. To see your control panel and all the chatter that goes on is quite a treat for all of us who no nothing about piloting a jet plane. I'm personally am glad you stuck to your guns and got this bigger jet then the other smaller one. Some only can dream and others DO.
Flew into KBOS once for an Air Life Line flight. The FBO asked "how would you like to handle your landing fees? (~$300)" I said "we think we'll wave them." They said "oh yes, of course."
I'm subscribed to and watch the videos of several, and thoroughly enjoy them. Like a few others, I have developed a LOT more confidence in what goes on in the cockpit of several different aircraft and find myself most comfortable flying with Mr. Mink in the Premier 1. Keep up the great videos!
Thanks!
Always enjoy the video's very much, Wow 8.07$/Gal its worth the descent and climb to a regional airport at that price, ( I thought filling my brothers 182Q was pricey !!)
No wonder the rest of the world uses liters ... Less "sticker shock"!
High fuel costs, LOW hourly wages for Fuelers 9.87 HR 2002 :(
That was fun for this old man Greg !!!
On of your best, Greg, mixing it up BOS ground with airlines. Excellent cockpit shots more difficult to achieve with someone in the right seat. All of those fees, on top of fuel, WOW! Would like to have fees (other than the obviously titled) explained to us novices.
VERY GOOD flight I really enjoyed traveling with you. Private pilot since 1965, Not active anymore..
I love your vids dude , not too far from Boston myself. Live in Orleans MA
Joyful process, thanks for the ride and the good showing. By the way, would be nice to hace the company of some people.
🤢 My goodness where do you keep the safe on your plane, lol. That look was priceless. I appreciate all you do with your videos.
Watching a consummate professional at work doing what they love is impressive. Thank you.
Great video and flight. Looking for more great vids in the future.
New guy, old pilot here here in Az. Been binging on your videos. Thanks Greg. Learning a lot from you regarding the glass cockpit. BTW, Got an hour in the F-16 Sim. Tucson, NG. a few years ago. Amazing !
Glad you like them!
Come over to KDWU, where I work. It's less than $4.00/gallon.
He took Jet-A V-Power.
Just come back from a trip to NY & Boston....I know you make frequent trips to Boston. We loved the place and enjoyed boat tours which took us around Logan. I was surprised to see rwy 27 big jet departures over the City and it seems you have to make a quick turn to 140deg I did look out for you but missed you by a few days. It seems Boston is quite expensive for most things but never the less very enjoyable.
Loved the video again and the info you give out for us simmers. Thx
You are welcome!
Always enjoy! Especially out of Logan
I'm a big fan of yours videos. I'm commercial pilot in Brazil, looking for my first opportunity as a pilot and I've been watching your channel since 2016 to improve my english skills and all topics related of aviation, like communication with ATC, Instruments parameters , etc. Tks for spend your time helping all of us in this journey. Congrats.
Awesome! I am glad they help.
11:23 "seauuh"
haha gotta love that controller...
Oh man... Nice way to start the show... Nice and slow with Smokey Robinson. 🎵 (funny look at the Welcome Counter regarding fuel charge). 😊
........if the $8.07 Jet A wasn't bad enough (LMAO on your look @ 1:26)...... Handling Fee (A/C towing..did you have a GPU on 390GM?), massport fee, SEC screen ( TSA I assume) ,.........Infrastructure???? SMH..... enjoyed your vid. Thanks!!
Just looked up Signature for current Jet A price @ KBOS......$8.33!!!! WOW
Greg, glad you didn't edit the taxi. Impressive bit of choreography on the part of the ground controllers. Nice vid!
I have figured it out that viewers like to see all the taxi out and back.
I wish I had worked for you when I was doing medical equipment, I love that aircraft.
Merry Christmas and a very, very Happy New Year! Is, wished for Greg Mink and his entire Family! Love your sharing your Videos with all of us!
Most flying video's bore me but yours are very well done. I like them, bravo zulu!
I like your videos....reminds me of my airline pilot days...but sadly I lost my medical 5 years ago....so I just watch these now.
Geez! Those fees! Anywhere else to go? Anyway, great video! I was having withdrawals
Thank you very much,a really nice flight from Boston,to Indy Exectuive !!
Signature and Boston should be ashamed of themselves. What a bunch of ripoffs.
Why are you complaining? Each FBO and airport set prices and you do not have to go there. This is a charter operation and they go where required by business needs. Some people pay $13 for one pizza and never complain it is really a $3 pizza!
I don't think P1D is in the charter business. I believe he uses the plane as a business tool in his family's business. It is Boston and they never disappoint.
Ramon Cardona because they’re price gouging. If their was another FBO as competition they wouldn’t be charging such an outrageous price. At our airport jet fuel is half that price.
@@Rhaman68 Well put. Yeah Airport usually means bucks especially big Metro ones. Here in Nashville it is pricey too, but doubt if it is 8.07 a gallon though.
@@Rhaman68 A good pizza cost $25 -$30 here in Los Angeles
incredible skill and talent as a pilot! always enjoy the videos! thanks for sharing!
It's all in the editing.
What did all you guys do in Boston? Now only Flight Chops is missing with a Logan Video :)
Happy Landings!
Recently found your videos and now cannot stop "binge watching" .....Keep up the great work. Love how you include entire process from Pre-Flight to engine shut off. Would love to meet you some time. Thanks for the awesome entertainment Sir.
+P1D - Best soup to nuts Bizjet video..great editing!
Have you ever faced any serious trouble or emergencys, close calls , etc with this plane and if so is there video of it ?
You had a lot more editing for the intro but it made it a better video, thanks
Love the videos. Have been following you for a while and appreciate the education. As an enthusiast, I always learn something new from your videos. Sorry if this has already been asked and answered, but didn't see it. Was there anything special going on in Boston? Another aviation TH-camr also posted a flight into Boston recently. Thanks!
I had business there .
Knowing you are a former Viper pilot I would love to hear about flying the ultimate jet. I also am an Army LTC and there is parts I can’t discuss. If that is the case never mind. Thanks for the videos.
Thanks for your service. I used to maintain A-10A , 87-91 in the UK.
Boston controllers were really the busiest I've heard. Got to be on your toes!! Enjoyed the flight thanks.
You should of gone to KBED Hanscom field 20 west of BOS. I was based there a long tie ago. Its a lot cheaper.
Hanscom is off rt 128. And rt128 is ALWAYS a traffic nightmare uder constant construction. Id pay the $8 dollahs with a smile. Thanks for the vids! Kudos
Yup sure is Signature and Jet Aviation is there. Jet A and JP-4. .
Hanscom is criminal too. LWM is much more reasonable.
they were no bargain either
Hi P1 driver I had a go at PHANTOM simulator near Harrogate. Yorkshire, England a few years ago and flew it perfectly BUT could not find the BRAKES , ended up running on the grass. Loved It xx PS a REAL COCKPIT!
Good stuff Greg!
Thanks again for the ride along, if ya ever are in the Dakotas let me know, can give ta a great tour of Mt. Rushmore!
I was there a few years back for a Porsche driving event. Your roads are fantastic!
Another great video,... thanks
It's called "Signature" because you are going to need to sign a few checks.
Love that departure on 27, rushing toward all those tall buildings. Ah, the miracle of flight!
Handling Fee, $655.00? Hope that at least came with a "happy ending". $8.07 a gallon? My Lord that stuff is liquid gold.
@Morgus Schmorgus They don't fade when you compare the fees to the revenue for carrying passengers and/or freight. Very soon it becomes apparent that there is no incentive to use that airport.
I think all he got was a “Good Day”.
I COULD NOT AFFORD A SODA POP AT THAT FBO!
Rodney Cichon.. nice to see you landing the plane and flying it like a 180 Cherokee.. haha I’m old school not used to all the bells and whistles.. can’t fly anymore had a open heart surgery.. 78 years old now but enjoy watching your professionalism..
Gotta love Taxxachusetts
seattle Taxxington is getting that way, it's about time to move .
@@101sabre about time to fuel
Enjoyed that! Liked the intro. Even the taxying was enjoyable, building up the anticipation to the flight. Inspires me to renew my licence when I trip back to NZ later in the year.
AOPA would probably like to hear about those outrageous fees.
AOPA knows. Them and a few others like EAA, HAI alread have pushed the FAA to investagate.
...and what will the FAA really do about it?
You think that is bad, Kansai Fees can total $20,000+ for a Large Heavy carrying Passengers/ or Freight.....and if you need to park a A380,747,777 overnight.....more rings on the register. And every-day people want to know why air-fares are so expensive. Airport fees are the largest expense after fuel expenses for a Commercial Carrier. Payments on a plane,wages,insurance,etc. are nothing compared to Airport Fees ! Dubai has a $20.00-$45.00 Fee for each passenger that gets on or off a Flight.
$8.56 on May 26. 2019. KLWM is under $4 and is my favorite; Eagle east one of the best with nice rations 50 steps away.
@@dmcnamara9859 Some sort of landing fee makes sense because the runways alone cost billions at these large airports. But 20k just to land is excessive. $5-10 a person also seems reasonable.
Loved the video. I'm originally from the Boston area. When you were driving to Logan, you drove past Fenway Park. Hope your visit to Boston was a good one.
I've noticed that after startup you roll the yoke and hold it left, then right, (or maybe R then L) and appear to be watching the annunciator panel. What are you checking with that procedure.
Found your channel about a year ago and it's at the top of my list. Should I get back to flying someday, and bring cameras along, I will shamelessly attempt to copy your style and just hope to successfully imitate the master!
Most likely the Premier 1's way of testing to insure the ailerons work since you can't exactly look through the side window to see like a Cessna 172.
Brandon Earnhardt - I figured it's something like that, just wondered if it was something more significant than making sure the rigging is right. Thought maybe, because of the swept wing, there was low speed help in roll with the spoilers. But then, I don't know if the spoilers are used for anything other than lift dump on landing.
curtisccr make sure there NO GUST LOCKS !, I forgot once, never did again .
I believe that Greg is looking at the checklist on the MFD as he goes through the yoke freedom check.
Ronald Howard LOL No! No! No! I am sure of it. I have seen this in more than one of his videos. He rolls the yoke one way, holds it for few seconds, a light goes out on the annunciator panel, and rolls it the other way, until another light goes out.
But in the next video he will explain how I am wrong.... and how he really is checking make sure he removed that wooden clamp from the right aileron. :D
I only have a Cessna 182 but I have had similar experience with Signature. Keep up the good work P1D!
Greg what are you using to capture your coms?
More than likely an audio splitter cable for both headset and microphone that feeds to a GoPro adapter for audio into the GoPro by cable.
correct
Seeing your 'Ready For Tow' sign reminded me of FOR SALE BY OWNER signs we would put in the cockpit window on our C-9's when we put the jet to bed at our RON or even enroute stops.
I landed there for the Boston Marathon... Biggest ripoff in GA, not only the fuel price but the "service" fees
What the hell is up with Boston? Everything is expensive. $8.07?????
rufusprime99 I did a video, but didn't put the prices in it... I think I paid around $200 in fees to have a Cessna 182 there for 20 hours
MassPort is a scam. They rob people without guns. They are looking to charge a 1$ per person drop off fee for the airport. All passengers.
irishcurse65 I've been charged $45 to have one person walk through sheltairt at Westhampton, that was a good one too, didn't even shut down... Meridian at KTEB is by far the most fair FBO in the NE
Brian Danza Leftist taxing, bureaucracy, and additional regulations add up quick. They need to pay for that tunnel.
Really Cool! 4th generation Colorado Native, farmer northeast of Denver. We spend a lot of time outside of New Castle with the cousins, that ranch in the area. My wife and I would love to take a ride with you sometime!
$8.07 a gallon? Did you get breakfast lunch and dinner with that? She actually gave you the bill with a straight face....
Love your channel. I spent the whole weekend watching them. Probably not the best use of my weekend, but enjoyed them immensely. I have long wanted to get my GA, but a being a Diabetic Type 2, looks like I am out of luck.
Don't understand the security screening, what for? You can bring whatever you want. What are they looking for?
Also, stylish shades, you do realize that after a certain age there is a limit on "cool" right? ;-)
They have to charge you $85 to make sure you don't hijack yourself. :)
"you do realize that after a certain age there is a limit on "cool" right?"
Only in your mind. You will find life is infinitely more worthwhile, if you stop living it by the constraints of others.
I have to say I love your video's. I wanted to be a pilot growing up that's all I dreamed of. However, I busted up my elbow to many times so I wasn't able to join military. My family didn't have the money to send me to school. So I really enjoy watching your video's wishing I was you talking to ATC going high above the clouds and enjoy the view from up there. Please continue to produce video's your an awesome pilot.
Have a great day P1D
I would have been like, " no thank you I'll handle my own aircraft for that price". Guess that's why I don't own a jet 😆
Next time you come to Boston ( anywhere but Logan) love to meet you. Great little airports south of Boston. Marshfield is nice. Be safe
you have to go through security to fly your own plane!!! how assinine....
Rarely....and it is totally assinine.
That was supposed to be the plus of having your own plane
The Premier 1 is a light business jet and is certified for single person operation. I can't speak to regulations but he didn't have any passengers on this flight so it's likely he isn't subject to such regulation if it exists.
I thought it was strange too, but as a MA resident, I know how up tight Massport is at Logan given that some of the 9/11 flights left from KBOS. In theory, a pilot or passenger at the GA terminal could walk over to the airline passenger terminals and aircraft and become a threat, so the whole ramp side of Logan is screened space. Terminal E - the international terminal - isn't so far a walk from Signature and the GA terminal, though a pedestrian moving straight over the open area would attract attention. If they stayed closer to the fence, perhaps not.
Good Lord the radio traffic around Boston was hectic. Good flight to share. Be well.
Update: Massachusetts Covid Tax: $125
