Owen..as a retired airline Capt who came up via GA flying, turboprops and then heavy iron, I like the way you handle yourself and the aircraft you fly. Please consider a little CFI work on the side. You’re a great example and aviation could use young, experienced pilots like yourself teaching the new generation. Fly safe!
I like your attention to detail. Excellent airmanship and judgment. I am a retired airline pilot with 54 years of flying experience including Fighter jets (A7-D Corsairs), Safety Chairman at my last Airline job. Retired from the A-330 200/300 International. You do a great job, very professional. Keep these videos, many new pilots will benefit. I still do.
Good video. I only did one aircraft ferry, in '79. I was a CFI in Southern California and was begging my Boss to let me do a ferry. Leasebacks were very popular back then, for tax reasons, so many rich folks were buying small planes then that wouldn't have been otherwise. He usually used pilots who had standby airline privileges in order to keep costs down. My day came, deadhead to Lock Haven PA to pick up a brand new Piper Tomahawk from the factory and ferry it back to SoCal. I later realized that the reason I was assigned the flight was that no one else wanted to fly a Tomahawk cross country in March! The trip took about 29 hours and I learned a lot along the way.
Owen...so cool how you help those who helped you get started! You are truly a class act! Thanks for taking us along on this trip and surely enjoyed the piston power!
I helped N988JG get off the runway in March of 2018 after a hard landing. The two Navy guys had borrowed it for Bonanza Society flight training and wrecked it. When I asked how hard they said both headsets flew off their heads! At that point the flat tire turned into a jammed right strut, wrinkled fuselage, wrinkled wing. It was a banger. It’s good to see it flying again.
I flew into San Jose, CA regional airport back in 1979 at the age of 20. It was my first time in a single engine Cessna. I was hooked. Your video is simple but impressive. It gives viewers a visceral feel for the similarities and differences of both types of prop planes...All the way to the clothing necessities.
CFI/II/MEI here. Ferried a c172 from Orcas Island, WA (KORS) to Sherman, TX (KGYI). Was probably the coolest thing I’ve done in my short aviation career. 10/10 would do it again!
Owen. Wondering if you had a specific reason for the ifr/vfr on top then staying with FF. Why not just stay IFR and put that bird in at FL230. That's where my 414 performs the best TAS 210 burn less than 40gph. 6000 cabin altitude.
Nice change of pace content Owen. Always enjoy all your videos. Makes me wish I had gotten into flying at a young age. Stay safe and keep the great content coming.
Another awesome video. Just got my commercial license a couple months ago and this video is perfect food for thought. Thanks again for the content and the words of wisdom.
Owen another nice vid; my flying career was similar; aircraft sales, flying anything anywhere, lots of adventures in 14,000 hours. Now just play with a Super Cub and Cessna 185😀 I learned to fly as far as possible on the first leg, nothing ever goes wrong; but don’t trust anything after that👍
Golden eagle is sweet! Another nice video! I love when pilot vlogs feature the FBO and food. It’s one of the best parts about the GA flying experience.
I am not a pilot but have multiple family members that are it is very smart to have a camera in there with you to back yourself up wish that alot more airlines would do that. Not for youtube but for safety purposes. Keep the great videos coming. Fly safe man
Thanks for the ride along. I can no pass the medical, but today I felt like was actually sitting in the right seat. Not only are you cool, smooth pilot, you are one hell of a videographer.
Humble yet inspiring are rare traits these days, yet you consistently demonstrate both in every video you make. The days of piston cabin class twins are well behind us so thank you for showing us a bit of the great days of GA in the 70s-80's, when beauties such as these two aircraft rolled off the assembly lines in the hundreds! Thank you for you Owen....
Hi Owen. Man, I don`t know how you do it you nail butter each and every landing, weather it is the gulfstream, the Bonanza, The Citation, The Piaggio, you name it. It`s a pleasure to see. Good winds and happy landings from Portugal.🤙
1st time viewer (of your channel 👏). Saw you with JR a few times. Love the idea of Ferrying .. getting to fly a myriad of aircraft to a myriad of destinations. Awesome. Thanks for tips on how to get involved. Appreciated.
Those 421C's are maintenance nightmares but they're absolute beasts. I work in a maintenance shop and we have a couple we service. My CFI ended up flying one of them as a corporate pilot for a local company, and after we'd done some maintenance he invited me to come along with him for a short test flight so I punched out for lunch and tagged along. He took the takeoff and landing of course but handed me off the controls in the right seat for the whole rest of the flight including an approach in IMC. Made me feel like a real pilot! Those engines are fire breathing demons though. When doing maintenance ops checks and power runs on the ground in the early morning or late afternoon when the days are short, you can actually see the turbochargers glowing through the cowl vents.
Universal airplane pilot. I think it would be cool for this to become even more true. Military jets, experimental stuff, high altitude stuff, the low and slow stuff, etc..
OWEN! This is weird! In 2002 I ferried a nearly new B36TC from Santiago, Chile to Woodland, CA. N978JG, the one before this off the assembly line (s/n EA-637). Memorable trip! 7 days, 44.5 hours, 11 stops. It's now based at Steamboat Springs CA.
Both Grand Junction and Rifle are really pretty areas and awesome FBO’s. I’ve been flying them regularly for pipeline work and I absolutely love flying in the mountains (when it’s warm) 😅
I have not had a chance to comment lately. But I always love watching your videos. This was a nice change reminds me of the old days. I wish I could fly still. Next time you happen to be in Reno RNO give me a shout and I’ll buy you lunch or dinner. Take care. Thanks again for a great video.
Thanks Owen for taking us along with you! Your content is great! If I was ever in need of a private pilot, I know who I'd hire lol! Keep up the work and safe flying!
So awesome. I just got my PPL in early January. I would love to be doing something like this. I’m working towards my IFR rating right now. Really enjoyed this!
Back in the 80's a friend had a gig flying (rented aircraft) bank checks (PM flights) from San Deigo to Burbank. He hooked up with six other pilots and they had a flop house (apartment) in Burbank for RON's. If I remember correctly take off around 6PM with load of checks, land in Burbank and hand them off, RON and back to San Deigo for another load. He did the a few days a week for extra money and flight time, I think it was also a full time Fri, Sat & Sun gig.
GA Pilot and AMT love the 421 aircraft. was my favorite, we has a sweet 421 we maintained , though I never worked on the much simply miss GA as I'm a Commercial AMT now. Just subscribed to the channel. thanks for making the videos.
Wow excellent! Superb presenter and possibly the best piston engine aircraft ever! You look like you're enjoying your work! That's how it goes when I'm dreaming of flying a 421 😅
This reminds me of the time I used to fly out of Reid-Hillview Airport in San Jose. I was working on my CPL at the time. On Memorial Day weekend 1988, I flew a 100 HP Grumman AA-5A Cheetah from San Jose to El Paso, TX and back. I decided to surprise my aunt who lived in El Paso. It was a long 7 hour flight (total flight time one way) over the desert in Arizona and New Mexico. I stopped in Gila Bend, AZ to refuel coming and going. I also stopped at Fox Field in Lancaster, CA on the way back. It was quite the adventure.
Love all the variation in your flying career. You do a great job in showing the different aspects of flying in different airframes. Still trying to figure out how you keep up with recurrences in all the different types, EVERY YEAR!!!. Good job all round.
..thing like self improvement!.. now you said something very important...'to advance together.'..for some thats gold..for others its not..alone is best.
Another pilot who's videos I enjoy is a ferry pilot named Guido Warneke. He is also a very professional and precise flyer. You might enjoy seeing one or two of his deliveries to places all over the world.
Always enjoy your thorough explanations regarding your flights. I usually want my pilots to have some grey hair (experience), but over the years watching you I would have no reservations with you at the controls. Another great video on an aspect of aviation not covered much.
Just found your channel. As a fellow pilot I am glad I found it. I love the explanations you give and the fact that you are pretty meticulous about using checklist. Keep up the good work and I look forward to seeing more of your videos. Take care.
Great video Owen! As you said, nice to mix it up a little and get into different planes, even pistons. I saw you (on TH-cam) at what looked to be an influencer seminar sitting next to Hoover. Hope you had a good time at Osh and I’ll see you in the next one!
I used to work on the 421 models - all of them. When the C came out I thought it was the best airplane around (although I still wanted a 210P). Video was more interesting than I thought it would be :) I haven't flown in years but that ferry job looks pretty chill.
Great video as always Owen! Beautiful airplanes. I bet on that 4 hour plus flight back that pee cup got full especially with all the bouncing up and down 😅. Keep them amazing videos coming.
I'm almost certain that, your first delivery is better known as the "421 GOLDEN SEAGUL, however, you're gonna have fun... cheers not beers, pls continue to monitor and adjust 😊
Another fast 29 minutes riding along with you, Owen. I just can't get enough of your videos dude. You look so relaxed in the ferrying mode, I would imagine not having the pressure of flying the gulfstream or the Italian stallion it's kind of a break for you. I noticed when taking off in the Golden Eagle you were trimming down by hand, is that because the electric trim is perhaps too slow or too fast? Just curious about that. Anyway, looking forward to your next trek! have a great day, keep the wind at your back!❤❤❤❤
The panel looks great! Why the upgrade?? I guess if you've done all your flying with a standard 6 pack, everything not gauges looks like a nice panel! LOL
When I did my 2nd solo XC in flight school I flew into Las cruces. Turns out the Navy was training pilots in the T38 that day. They were stressing me out 😂
You appear to be an excellent pilot, thanks for the info. and hitchike. Sounds like a great vocation. Flying longevity is so iffy, that would be a consideration. The variety of A/C's flown would be exciting.
Owen I paid to have a light sport ferried from the east coast to Utah. He had terrible weather and was beat up pretty bad over 2 days ! I very much liked the day in your life video . Thanks
Is the Golden Eagle you're ferrying pressurised? ...and by the way... thank you so much for calling an aeroplane or airplane what it is..specifically an airplane or aeroplane and for not using the annoying and generic "air-craaahft" that most of the other protagonists use here because they think it sounds better. I like your down to earth .)) approach as pilot and narrator explaining even complex things in a clear and calm, modest and competent way. Very appreciated.
Another great video, thanks for sharing - wish you would do a short intro to the plane when you fly a new one though, unless it's for privacy (of the owner) sake of course. Keep up the great work 👌🏽 both pilot wise and video production wise 💪🏽
Back in 1991 I bought a Piper PA38 Tomahawk in Akron Ohio. I intended to take it to the UK for a Flying school in Shoreham Sussex. In Akron I was approached by a pilot who was mad enough to offer to fly it across the atlantic. I was smart enough to say NO. I probably saved his life.
I worked at SFO IFSS back in the 1960s there two pilots that ferry small aircrafts from SFO to New Caledonia and New Zealand that was a hard way earn a living..
Thank you for sharing your great trip here. I hope the lunch stop on ypur first day was nice at thay airport restaurant. Both aircraft that you ferried looked beautiful. But I do like the Cessna aircraft a little more!😊
PPL Student here, whats the benefit of just using IFR to pop up & then canceling and getting Flight following? Why not just file IFR all the way to your destination? Is it just so you can chose the fasest route?
Nicely done. Thanks for the history and insight. If I get a vote, I'd request a main view out the front window and one view of you like the big one on the left, but small in a corner.
Owen..as a retired airline Capt who came up via GA flying, turboprops and then heavy iron, I like the way you handle yourself and the aircraft you fly. Please consider a little CFI work on the side. You’re a great example and aviation could use young, experienced pilots like yourself teaching the new generation. Fly safe!
wow...
this is scare, my cat sad
what great advice, no attitude, just encouragement and positivity.
I agree I sure use a CFI with Owen's patience makes the difference
100% Agree. He is up to the task. Very smooth, organized and make it look simple. I'm a previous ATC and commercial twin pilot retired now.
I like your attention to detail. Excellent airmanship and judgment. I am a retired airline pilot with 54 years of flying experience including Fighter jets (A7-D Corsairs), Safety Chairman at my last Airline job. Retired from the A-330 200/300 International.

Thank you for watching! And for the nice comment
“Air conditioning comes off” reminded me of my little inline 4 when I’m ready to fly down the high way
Lmao same
Good video. I only did one aircraft ferry, in '79. I was a CFI in Southern California and was begging my Boss to let me do a ferry. Leasebacks were very popular back then, for tax reasons, so many rich folks were buying small planes then that wouldn't have been otherwise.

Carrier landing
Awesome couple of planes and flight thank you
lol, I'm sure Owen was happy to read that bit of history after he was already safely on the ground.
To heck wit catching up with all the news, flying with Owen is far more enjoyable! You don't disappoint, big thanks as usual.

@@jamesminton3358 great question
CFII here about to ferry one from east coast to SW US...im soooooo excited

Hello, Owen! Nice to see you again, greetings from Croatia!
I always enjoy riding along, retired a/p. Thanks for you very professionalism, and your humility, no pompous arrogance.
Thanks for sharing your movements... It's an EYE-OPENER for the peeps who don't know... thanks 😊
So smooth! Flying and videography.
Excellent.
Love the sound’s of well balanced GITSO’s esp on T/O ☮️ !!!
Agree!
“Well balanced” should be the name of the shop.
I ASPIRE ! ! ! Thank you for sharing your experiences, it helps light the way
Always great, Owen! Such a wonderful career!
Thanks for sharing man , another great video
Both Grand Junction and Rifle are really pretty areas and awesome FBO’s. I’ve been flying them regularly for pipeline work and I absolutely love flying in the mountains (when it’s warm) 😅
Love that Bananza ,, thanks again for taking us along 🤙

I appreciate the amount of flight footage and detail you included. Great vid, earned yourself a sub 👍
So awesome. I just got my PPL in early January. I would love to be doing something like this. I’m working towards my IFR rating right now. Really enjoyed this!
this was a great video! I've been really wanting to know alternatives to CFI and I'm glad I found this about ferrying. thank you!
Good mentoring. A good pilot always flys by the numbers.
Thanks Owen for this brilliant video, its very meticulous and articulate.
Always a good day when my glorious king posts a video

Great video and got that butter laid down nice and smooth on that landing!
Great Job, nice video, nice planes ! You are doing really great job sharing this with us !! Thanks for your passion and professionalism !!!

Thank you very much for the nice comment! Much more content on the way.
Jim Bob’s isn’t bad BBQ. I was there that day as well in the Mooney N58143 landing just before you. Great videos as always.
Owen you fly like a pro!
Great video Owen! As you said, nice to mix it up a little and get into different planes, even pistons. I saw you (on TH-cam) at what looked to be an influencer seminar sitting next to Hoover. Hope you had a good time at Osh and I’ll see you in the next one!

As always your videos are phenomenal my friend and really inspiring
Hi Owen, always enjoy your videos here in Ireland. Thanks!
Awesome.
Love seeing your work brother 🛩️
Good video! Good to see how easily can you handling the Cessna and the Bonanza! Both landing were perfect...
I'm almost certain that, your first delivery is better known as the "421 GOLDEN SEAGUL, however, you're gonna have fun... cheers not beers, pls continue to monitor and adjust 😊
I'm retired from aviation and I love your videos. Great job.
Another fast 29 minutes riding along with you, Owen. I just can't get enough of your videos dude. You look so relaxed in the ferrying mode, I would imagine not having the pressure of flying the gulfstream or the Italian stallion it's kind of a break for you. I noticed when taking off in the Golden Eagle you were trimming down by hand, is that because the electric trim is perhaps too slow or too fast? Just curious about that. Anyway, looking forward to your next trek! have a great day, keep the wind at your back!❤❤❤❤
Owen Been Following your channel for 2 years..very informative and very cool on all the difference planes u fly 😊
Thank you for watching!
Thanks for bringing us along!!
The panel looks great! Why the upgrade?? I guess if you've done all your flying with a standard 6 pack, everything not gauges looks like a nice panel! LOL
When I did my 2nd solo XC in flight school I flew into Las cruces. Turns out the Navy was training pilots in the T38 that day. They were stressing me out 😂
Awesome mate, great video...was like being onboard....Well done! 💯👍🛩️
You are so self assured in a good way. Don't like flying much but would fly with you anydat🎉
You appear to be an excellent pilot, thanks for the info. and hitchike. Sounds like a great vocation. Flying longevity is so iffy, that would be a consideration. The variety of A/C's flown would be exciting.
Owen I paid to have a light sport ferried from the east coast to Utah. He had terrible weather and was beat up pretty bad over 2 days ! I very much liked the day in your life video . Thanks
i've got about 8 hours in a 421 c. nice airplanes. still have a dream to fly
Is the Golden Eagle you're ferrying pressurised?
...and by the way... thank you so much for calling an aeroplane or airplane what it is..specifically an airplane or aeroplane and for not using the annoying and generic "air-craaahft" that most of the other protagonists use here because they think it sounds better.
I like your down to earth .)) approach as pilot and narrator explaining even complex things in a clear and calm, modest and competent way. Very appreciated.
Another great video, thanks for sharing - wish you would do a short intro to the plane when you fly a new one though, unless it's for privacy (of the owner) sake of course. Keep up the great work 👌🏽 both pilot wise and video production wise 💪🏽
salinas is my practice zone! i fly cessnas in there every week its a pretty awesome spot.
Back in 1991 I bought a Piper PA38 Tomahawk in Akron Ohio. I intended to take it to the UK for a Flying school in Shoreham Sussex. In Akron I was approached by a pilot who was mad enough to offer to fly it across the atlantic. I was smart enough to say NO. I probably saved his life.
cessna 421c is a beautiful constant prop airplane!.
what do you normally do at cruise as far as entertaining yourself? Are you able to just do anything or what?
as a MSFS virtual pilot who has flown more SIM hours than real pilots fly IRL i can honestly say you would make a great sim Pilot
I worked at SFO IFSS back in the 1960s there two pilots that ferry small aircrafts from SFO to New Caledonia and New Zealand that was a hard way earn a living..
Thank you for sharing your great trip here. I hope the lunch stop on ypur first day was nice at thay airport restaurant. Both aircraft that you ferried looked beautiful. But I do like the Cessna aircraft a little more!😊
Typing to fast! I hope the lunch stop on "your" first day.😊
At "the" airport. I felt pretty happy seeing the clouds in the sky. Nice flying.😊
From a 25yr Beechcraft maintenance tech I'm loving all over that Bonanza it's Gorgeous!!!
Living the dream! 👍🏾
PPL Student here, whats the benefit of just using IFR to pop up & then canceling and getting Flight following? Why not just file IFR all the way to your destination? Is it just so you can chose the fasest route?
If you want to fly vfr, but a low cloud ceiling prevents your desired altitude, you can fly ifr to get yourself above the clouds.
Flying VFR on top lessens the load on ATC as well as makes the route more direct.
I just saw a Piaggio on the ramp at KBJC on Sunday, after completing my first student solo 😁
Nicely done. Thanks for the history and insight.
If I get a vote, I'd request a main view out the front window and one view of you like the big one on the left, but small in a corner.
Not a pilot but love these videos Owen!!!
