You guys stay so calm. 100 miles over the ocean with no VFR code. It’s kind of mind-boggling.
You panic you d!e
i love how candid you are on the cost. ive wanted my ppl and didnt realize all the costs
Yuppp it's expensive as all hell..
@@ChimkenNuggers and he's flying one of the cheapest planes that exist.
That 152s livery is absolutely stunning. Nothing better than a bare metal plane, especially when used with some colour as youve done!
I think you guys should be well over 100k subscribers. Definitely my favorite couple in the air.
Wow, thanks so much!!!
100%
@@flymetothefunfuel check by ladder? Wish my flying club always had this option, i have fear of slamming down my foot joint again.
We really enjoyed flying to the Dominican Republic. Super friendly to small airplane people, and it’s a beautiful country. But I’d definitely recommend going IFR. 😊
I swear I don't think I've ever seen a 150 look as good as this one
I know! Really nice looking aircraft, it is very well looked after which is why!
I have recently stumbled across your channel and watched your 3 newest videos back to back to back. I’m planning on becoming a pilot myself or at least getting some hours in as it seems really fun. Your channel led me to fall in love with all this aviation madness. I love all your videos and keep up the great work!
Found your channel by mistake. Great video! Awesome editing, commentary and graphics. I can't wait to binge watch all of your videos! Happy Flying!
Wonderful footage!!! So glad you were able to experience the DR!
This is amazing man. I just bought me a C150J a month ago. Getting new avionics etc and ready to fly it hopefully next week. You've inspired me. Those fees are really unbelievable and ridiculous.
Love that little blue plane, so two things to keep, the plane 🥰and the girl 🥰
That gave me chills when they said they were fans, thats awesome!!
I love how that ATC recognized you from your voice. So cool!
Could have also been the tail number.
@ true
This is great! Getting my private pilot license was one of the most fun things I’ve ever done. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Now, I’m starting to use my pilot license to repossess cars and create TH-cam content! 🤘🏻
I have literally thousands of hours overwater time with dozens of various ocean crossings.
I once flew the Carribean extensively in twins.
Very little of it was in light singles.
You are pushing the envelope in a 150 with no raft.
He will learn
As they say re a twin, the 2nd engine gets you to the crash site. Also, you have double the chance of loosing an engine.
@@dannyadventurer1172
Nonsense.
The other engine gets you to an airstrip and saves your life.

If he lives.
I’m pretty sure that there must be a regulation that would state that he’d must have a raft onboard. That 152 is definitely not ETOPS certified 😂
This is the most beautiful cessna that i ever seen.
The Caribbean is beyond beautiful
This is my all time favorite video on TH-cam of all time
I can’t to finish my PPL. My girl and I are going to recreate your trips! Thank you for the bucket list
I'm goin for my PPl aswell it's a long but fun journey!
FIRST, get some experience!
Don't head for the Caribbean with the ink still wet on your Private ticket!
Having already experienced engine failure and forced landing in a single Otter, I no longer see reasons for taking risks like this
$10/gallon fuel is the craziest thing about this trip
You would be surprised how expensive fuel is down south
We pay close to that in Canada thanks to Justin Trudeau's carbon tax.
Lol
The C150 is approved for a supplemental type certificate for auto fuel unleaded, non- ethanol which costs $4 and some change here in NW USA. It saves lead sludge in the oil pan and lead deposits on the spark plugs.
@@colinfitzgerald4332 MOGAS is definitely the way to go for the reasons you mentioned. It's not as stable as AVGAS though so will tend to stratify if left sitting for extended periods but agitation cam restore it. Unfortunately, here in Canada all MOGAS now has ethanol as part of the eco radical agenda, it's enforced under something called the Clean Fuel Standard and will be inflicted upon the US populace if the democrats stay in power.
you are living the life my dooood! ❤
cute little plane. Can't wait for you to install the supercharged big block 350 in it!
Time to do some east coast island hoping. You can to Long Island NY, any number of airports there. Maybe meet up with Bruno. Then to Block Island RI, called the poor man’s Martha’s Vineyard. Rent mopeds and explore the cool island. Depart from there go to Martha’s Vineyard and then onto Nantucket. There is also an airport at the tip of Cape Cos where you can park your plane and walk to the beach a few yards away. Maybe do a day at each of them. Little east coast summer beach trip! Load up on lobster!🦞
Your "Pack With Me" video is my go-to whenever I need to pack for a trip. Your tips on staying organized are golden! Speaking of organization, have you heard about the new v4 Bento Bag from NomadLane? It could be a game-changer for your packing routine.
This is so awesome thank you so much for visiting my beautiful island 🏝️
Klk mio?
Single engine miles out to sea, you're very adventurous young man.
Or just plain stupid
As they say re a twin, the 2nd engine gets you to the crash site. Also, you have double the chance of loosing an engine.
Interesting philosophy Sir.....@@dannyadventurer1172
Getting noticed in a small country is big man status! WOW Great views. I wish I would have started flying at a young age, was always told I couldn't though with glasses... talk about a lie. My poor plane is waiting on a new cylinder right now, I hope it gets fixed soon!
What a vibe man
Super mahalos for being me along
Thank you so much for sharing your adventure, and oh, what an adventure!!
Hopefully you have the fabulous 150 with the incredible 40 degree flaps. Yeah baby!
This is exactly why I’m getting my PPL, adventures like this!
Wholesome atc for real
Great vid! Is Betty the computer voice telling you height (as obsessed as I am with aviation I have no idea what it’s called) or the ATCer
A very nice 150 you have there. Good job.
OMG ur going to DR?!?! That’s where I come from AKA where I was born 🤣 lol
Great channel! Loved meeting y’all in Cartagena.
yall are living my dream life
Thank you so much for sharing your trip. I'm planning to do a similar trip Sep 2024. Any advice on customs, filing flight plans, opening and closing flight plans, etc? Did you buy the Caribbean maps on foreflight and for your GPS? If possible would love to see a planning and procedures video about international travel.
Going to call AOPA as well next month. Clear skies and safe travels.
Awesome Videos! Love the authentic content!
Great video!
I agree, Lanie, sharks are no bueno!
That's nice. What brand of life raft did you take with you?
Would you fly Southwest if it was down to one engine ? You are risking a lot on that VW style engine
What was the name of the hotel you stayed at because I think I might’ve stayed there when I was in the Dominican republic
Awesome video ❤
Project flight moment
Beautiful aircraft. Great flying as well! What were the final fees?
It's not about how big it is, it's about how you use it
I love the sunglass clip-on. Which brand is it and where can I find these? That would be really helpful when wearing a headset a couple of hours...
If I am worried about sharks I would not be over open water in a single engine aircraft.
Hey were you guys to MYE3 i live there ;) couldnt believe my eyes when i saw your banner xD
What happens if you open your window in mid air?
love the vids keep them coming!!!
Thank you!! Will do 🚀
So it's cheaper to park an aeroplane in Dominican Republic, than a car in Bristol
Great video guys!!
Thanks so much!
Be careful with that nice girl of yours there mate, you were pushing into some pretty average weather. Remember you can always fly another day if you need to.
I’ve got a 172A. Who did your overhead panel?
Beautiful. But (non pilot here) it seems weird that you can fly VFR over open water like that.
Excellent... nice one fifty too!
I think I’m going to buy a Cessna 150 ,Can I put a Rotax 912 on a Cessna 150 ?
Change the title… “I take my girlfriend scud running”
i like flyine cesnna in ptfs cus of dis guy
Is it possible to fly do a transoceanic flight of every contanemt starting in Africa and going to erope then asia then austraile then all the way back to Europe an finally to rich America an last down to poor americal and backt to Africa using lots of fuel stops and a plane that has a range of 800 nmi?
What was the total cost of the trip
Looking very cool.
Wooo! Love these
How can you fly VFR over so much open water in your tiny, cute plane ?
Is it possible to modify a 150 to fly 600NM ?
There is a c150 Commuter where Im based at NC05, it has long range tanks from the factory
Probably the best videos I've seen on hopping around the Caribbean! However, I am confused on the timeline of the journey or maybe I just watched the videos out of order...
Thank you!! We're doing them a bit out of order so that's probably why! It'll make more sense soon haha. And we may do a long video at the end of the whole trip 🙌🏻
Visit Jamaica 🇯🇲❤️
What was the resort you went to. Looks amazing
Westin Punta Cana! We loved it!! And the airport is on their property. So cool
Living my dream man
Welcome to the Caribbean...u should come to jamaica next lol. How long have u been flying.
If you do come here, try doctors cave beach, beautiful place, got lots of wildlife, clean sands, and mini reefs. Even got a tour boat that takes you out to the big reefs.
Denis, are you the dude working out of the Fireworks offices?
Wish I had a plane pilot GirlFriend 🤣
He: Land Ho!
She: What’d you call me! 😂😂😂
Anywho, I like your PFDs. I wear one when I’m flying to Catalina (KAVX). Really enjoy your videos 😃
Uh you didn't talk about how much it cost overall
I live in puerto rico
❤
Bravo.go ahead
Look at the price in Turk and caicos and Puerto plata fule I cheaper
You few VFR over the ocean with no land insight? Probably not the best idea.
Go ahead
Dude its time to upgrade to a faster plane.
Can you just buy a plane and fly? I didn't know that (maybe a new hobby when i grow up)
2:19 Lots of scammy charges there. Might as well land on an abandoned road or runway and fetch the fuel.
Lanie, please stop holding the phone in front of a camera getting the exact same shot.
🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴
Il gelato finisce per O maschile fatti portare 1 bibita femminile 😅
Lascia stare la droga!
Are you taking off over gross weight?
it’s very nice that you do all this with your girlfriend but you seem way too comfortable with her. nothing lasts forever and eventually one of you will be seeking a new mating partner
What's the event and cheapest way to get my private pilots license
Just say no to clickbait arrows.
