This was my first time ever putting cameras on a plane, and I am SO stoked about how the Insta360 X3 footage came out! What other epic shots would you want to see from the X3 in the future?

Looked like the flight simular game.❤😊
@@alexdarcydestsimon3767 It looked like she put the two Insta360s on the outside of the plane on very long Aluminum rods. I think the one on the tail was attached to the tailwheel strut, so the camera was effectively floating right behind the rudder.
To me, these cameras look like magic, I have no idea how they can film like that, like it looks like they are free floating behind the plane.
@@alexdarcydestsimon3767 you can see in the video (1:49), the rear camera is attached onto the back wheel, so just below the rudder.
Definitely need to do interviews in the air.
My 4-year old daughter and I watched this together tonight. She’s watched me and tried our flight simulator many times, but tonight was the first time she said she would like to be a pilot. Thank you!
Nice!
Awesome
My daughter’s 3.75! What’s your flight simulator? I’d like to give it a try as well :)
Okay. Tomorrow she'll want to be a giraffe.
🤧😭😭😭🤧 I remember the moment I wanted to be a pilot. I wasn't even in Pre-K. When that big old space shuttle flew off into the Heavens. That was it.
Xyla, Simone and Laura would make such a great post-apocalypse team! Laura builds the shelter, Simone builds the robots to defend it, and Xyla flies around blasting the zombies with rockets!
Yet Xyla is the only engineer between them.
@@TheBigburcie a competent builder has a good enough intuitive sense of engineering that one out of three being an actual engineer is plenty
Between the three of them there's certainly plenty of creativity, skills and knowledge, so that's a great start.
Ok but I would LOVE to watch this as a series.
Ooooh make a collab series with the three of them in a survival setting
I love the fact that a 75 year old aircraft is kept in great flying condition and is owned by someone who is clearly enthusiastic about flying.
And it's such a pretty plane!
I own a Cessna 150 and 172 that are both older than me. Simple planes that will also outlive me.
Such a timeless look. Wonderful choice of plane!
Yeah !
This old lady is in good shape.
Planes have no sole, they are just here. @@freighter1097
Simone's preflight commentary had me in stitches! 🤣 Also noticed that Xyla has "the pilot voice", which is totally different from the conversational voice. Have a few pilot friends who normally speak with a strong almost Cockney accent but as soon as they get on the radio, they all sound like they were born with a silver spoon in their mouths, and educated at Eton. (Yeah, I know It's necessary for clear communication with others, but still makes me smirk every time)
Funny anecdote, my 20yr old brother just prior to his first time speaking to the tower, told himself "I'm NOT going to speak in cheesy pilot voice." ...moment arrives... out of his mouth comes classic pilot voice. Called it an out of body experience.
She has a great radio voice.
I had a big laugh at it, too 😊
For people who are curious, Xyla was extracting fuel from the wings and engine to make sure it didn't contain sediment. Very common check on small planes.
Xyla, you are an exceptional pilot and an awesome human being. If I was the head of the FAA, I would make "Fuck you gravity" the required vernacular for all take-offs on every flight; private and commercial.
It also needs to be said that you have achieved the rare goal of making sponsored content that doesn't suck. I have absolutely no use for this product, but still found myself considering buying and inventing scenarios where I'd need it. Kudos.
You may say fuck you, gravity, but gravity waits patiently to fuck you back… All the time… Don’t tempt fate
It's said that Orville Wright was the first to say "fuck you gravity" as he watched Wilbur go up into the air.
It's a bit easier when the product is actually good like the recent Insta360 cameras are. Getting them as a sponsor is an achievement too :)
As an old pilot who no longer has a medical, that was fun. Really impressed with how well those cameras worked.
We are in the same club. I hope to get my medical back soon.
If your medical has never been _denied,_ you can fly light sport with just a driver's license.
@@UncleKennysPlace I could also fly gliders without a medical. There is a reason I won't take the chance.
I LOVE THIS SO MUCH. Not just the collab but the format, the cinematography, the fact that there's more plane content on the channel, it's just all great.
Love seeing Simone pop up in all my favorite creators' videos- she's in the walls!
There's an average of 3 simones within two meters of you at all time. You also swallow 1.7 simones in your sleep on average every year.
Ha, this is phenomenal! I smell the possibility of a series. Great to see you up in the air enjoying time with a friend after sharing everything you've been through recently. Cheers from Cleveland :)
series? never ;)
@@xylafoxlin Who's in the hot seat next time on Airplane a capella?
I think a series is a great idea and I bet Insta 360 would support it!

@@Marbh13 he'll die of joy
Content with Simone is always so fun and wholesome. She is like a youtube care bear.
This was so wholesome. It reminded me of my grandfather. He was a pilot and mathematician at UCLA in 1967. He worked on calculations for the moon mission. He flew his wife and his inlaws to Catalinia island in 1968. Unfortunately it was a foggy day and he crashed his plane. There were no survivors. My father died in 2016 and I spread his ashes in 2017 on Catalina Island. It brings back beautiful memories of my family to see another pilot fly over to the island. Thank you for sharing this flight. It truly means the world to possibly glimpse what my grandfather saw as he was flying to Catalina Island.
I love the bubbly excitement chemistry you two have. Please fly more together
I love seeing two amazing makers having fun together. Good job flying, Xyla, and good job not puking, Simone!
Last time i ve heard of a Simone it was a bear from Asheville. Would be fun to have her fly ...
I’m so happy to know this side of you! Flying was my late wife’s passion. Her grandfather was her inspiration. She became a CH-47 pilot in the Army and later got a Piper Cherokee which she flew almost daily in her final few months.
😊 As a 20 years in career pilot, this makes me grin from ear to ear. So nice to see such enthusiasm about simple flight, in a beautiful little airplane. THIS is what aviation is all about! Enjoy!! ❤
Deeply impressed with Simone's deep knowledge of pre-flight checks 🙂
My dad was an aircraft mechanic in WW2. After the war he returned to Belize and did jungle flying in a Cessna. This video is the first to give me an idea of how his experience felt.
Thanks Xyla.
First time I’ve seen a pilot do a checklist and pilot briefing in a TH-cam video. What a pro!
I just had the biggest grin during this whole video. Thanks for letting us tag along!
Xyla, I know that this was a sponsored video for Insta360 but I still love that you manage to take us on the journey and the stuff you've obviously got to say to satisfy the sponsorship is inserted in a way that seems appropriate and even somewhat natural so it's not like watching your video then being jarred by an advert that takes you out of story. Very few content creators manage to achieve that. Kudos.
thank you so much!
How was such a small cockpit able to contain so much smart at one time? Best video ever!
i belive its called moore's law or something
@@linecraftman3907 The pilots get 2x smaller every year? They better invest in macro lenses now!
Kid-me was so into airplanes/flying that I convinced my mom to take me to the local airfield as a reward for doing my homework. As we were wandering around a private pilot prepping his plane for flight spotted me and offered to let me sit in the pilots seat.... and when he saw I actually knew what the controls did (I was moving the stick/pedals one at a time then looking out the window to confirm everything worked the way I'd read about in my books) he offered to take us up for a flight.
Thanks so much for reminding me how much fun that was... absolutely fantastic video!
This makes me SO happy! Private pilot here (though it's been years) and a big fan of both of you. One of my joys when flying is letting my passenger take the yoke and rudder so they can feel the air. I'm so glad you had Simone take the controls. So many great adventures flying.
There is also a certain mindset of being a pilot that I respect more than any other culture : The culture of safety, the sense of adventure, and the setting of the ego aside in favor of a firm grasp of objective reality. Cheers to a great first flight for Simone, and thank you both for sharing, and for looking out for other science and engineering-minded TH-camrs!
Simone's commentary on the preflight checks is amazing.
Edit: Xyla liked my comment fangirling so hard right now. Slash as a guy can I fangirl or is it fanguying?
don't ever doubt yourself for a second, Xyla. you are full of awesomeness.
Two amazing and capable people just having fun in the air.
Thanks for taking us along.
Good to see you smiling and having fun.
Cool, two queens of "making things" I love, plus aviation !
This was amazing Xyla, if the idea hasn't floated into your head yet - more of these, would be great, even more so if you have a podcast format to them. I'm a flight-sim nerd myself, and this was an absolute treat to watch, thanks for sharing and I look forward to more plane stuff in the future!
Builds a trailer, fly's a plane. This Lady is awesome!!
This reminds me when my daughter took her mother up (first passenger) in a Cessna 150. Mother's first time in a small plane. They lived.
Loving coming along in the plane ride with you guys. I always dreamed of flying a plane. Now I'm an old fogie but at least I can pretend I'm flying when I watch one of my favorite youtubers (actually, two of my favorites). 👍
PS. Glad you're starting to feel a little better
PPS. Also please Simone, no ideas about making your own plane. I've seen too many of your robot inventions. 😱
Well, there are a lot of kit planes Simone could adapt into giant robots (too expensive to be shitty, though). It would be great if she could build an ancient Rutan plane. It would be great if Xyla collaborated with Simone on making a successful flying thing even a successful orbiting thing.
It's nice to see you happy. Thanks for adding a bright spot to my day.
My friend took me up in his light aircraft 4 years ago. I was 50yo and it was my first time in a non-commercial aircraft. I felt similarly excited as Simone. My friend let me "drive" briefly too and like Simone, I couldn't hand it back quickly enough. 🙃
It is a magical experience.
I am so thankful you had/have flying to help through your tough times. You are an inspiration to so many and braver than most. Keep on striving to be the best you.
Amazing collab! Love seeing y'all have fun flying :)
Seeing Xyla andd Simone hang out is big vibe, love it!
The joy in this video is contagious.
Thank you Xyla, you are a gift and you have the coolest friends.
I am so glad you got a sponsorship to take Simone (and all of us) up in the air. That looks terrifying in such a small plane but also looks super cool. What a beautiful plane and beautiful flight.
You're right that a small plane can be terrifying. You get bumped around but the tiniest air currents. And the whole time you're very aware that you're suspended a thousand feet in the air in a tin can.
@@AppleGameification I mean, aren't all planes and jets tin cans? They just aren't all TINY tin cans.
Flying a Cessna is so much fun. Only done it the once, but it's an experience that sticks with you.
The TH-cam world is getting smaller in a wonderful way! Cheering your every TH-cam episode, Xyla! Happy to see Simone here.
Hoping Dianna could join you someday! Wishing her well.
I love seeing your friendship! You two are some of my favorite creators.
i've rewatched this so many times since yesterday... inspiring, amazing people...
A classic beauty of a Cessna and a REALLY good looking paint job. Nice!
I absolutely love this and am a bit jealous. I've wanted to fly since I was in grade school. I actually enjoy watching people grabbing the hand rests when commercial flights hit turbulence. But this is just great to see, especially after your latest video. Keep flying!
What a good video showing us the skies you two! This has a real feel-good vibe, and made my day. Thank you Xyla and Simone!
Wow, I love the good vibes so much! You guys show so much genuine happiness, friendship and fun. I hope there will be much more to come!
I Love everything about this video and more flying videos in between builds would be fun.
It's nice to see so much happiness!
Man i love you two. Thx so much for sharing this moment with us.
Without doubt the most entertaining in flight video I've ever watched. I felt the joy you two experienced going on this adventure. I wish you both the very best.
Directly when I saw Simone on the thumbnail I had a feeling this would be a good video, but I didn't except laughing and smiling the entire time! Such a wonderful energy between you two! Please make a colab together with Laura where you build something!!!
One of my favorite things is being with someone for their first small plane ride. It's so much fun! Congrats Simone! Hopefully Xyla takes you up again. Also that Cessna is gorgeous.
This is so wholesome! It's awesome that you can share your passion with your friends and viewers. I look forward to more flights in the future.
I love seeing you two together! This is awesome.
My 2 favorite creative minds on an adventure. Let's do more.
I love small aircraft vids...especially ones with awesome youtubers. I wish it was longer!!!
Nothing else like flying. Wow, and I love it.
Nice job! That plane is an absolute stunner. Nice to see young people flying tailwheel.
Glad to see you in the plane again🙂Keep flying high👍🏻
Absolutely joyous film Xyla! Thank you so much! Love seeing you and Simone have a great time!
Wow! I love this so much! MORE Xyla and Simone flights please!!
My niece is 3 and loved this!! I have a lot of friends in the aviation spaces and I've always wanted to fly myself but due to an unfortunate accident I have difficulty even operating a car so I don't think I can fly but my niece and I love watching TH-cam videos on it and she loves learning so she actually teaches me lol we loved the video and I am so stoked to see what she would like to do but she genuinely loves flying and has been on flights ever since she was allowed on planes 😆 you'd be surprised at just how much she learns and absorbs things. We started to play Microsoft Flight Simulator and it makes me want to build an at home rig lol
Simone makes a great passenger! What a fun video, but you two are getting even more fun out of it than I do.
Simone is an absolute sweetheart, she always brings a smile to my face! So I'm smiling double today watching two of the most fun people on TH-cam together! Much love to you Xyla, great vid 😁
Very happy to see you happy and healthy again, plus hanging with Simone! Take good care of yourselves
360 cameras are just perfect for this - I love how the invisible stick makes it look like flight simulator
First solo flight at 17! Thats awesome 😎
This video just has all the right vibes and just makes me smile.
Awesome to see you two together having so much fun!
Yay plane content! Got a flight myself scheduled for this Friday (renting as I don’t have my own plane yet). And this is making me impatient. Someday I hope to get to the west coast and Catalina island is one of my gotta get to destinations. Thanks for the vid and would love for some more colas with Simone. And a Xyla, Simone and Laura colab would be a dream come true. (Heck, in that case get Simone and Laura to invite Savage and blow up the Maker TH-cam world)
That was great to watch. Xyla, would you consider doing another video where you do a high level ELI5 of the various call signs and the general aviation language you see very comfortable with?
So happy to see your little plane again. Your plane purchase video is where I first found you. We need more plane videos.
I was hoping for new content from each of you, but I did not expect this! thank you. So happy to see you are pushing through Xyla!
I had a big shit eating grin on my face the entire video! 😁 - You two were insanely adorable and that 140 has me drooling big time. I'm so happy for you Xyla that you chose buying that plane over, what was it, a bigger workshop? There is absolutely no denying how incredibly happy flying that plane makes you and there is no questioning you made the exact right choice for you!
I've yet to pursue my pilot's license, a lifelong dream, but videos like this definitely keep that dream alive! Thank you ever so much for sharing, and it was fun seeing two of my favorite content creators come together for a fun video such as this!
Wait, you have a plane?! Wait, you can fly?! That was a lot of fun! I felt like I was going on an adventure with you both.
Yay! Thanks for the flying video. It is awesome seeing you doing some of the pilot....stuff....yeah that's it! Blue skies!!!
This was such a wonderful video. Xyla and Simone, you both have such great energy, especially when you are together. It's so nice to see you both enjoying life to its fullest. Xyla, I'm glad you are feeling well enough to do this and enjoy this. And Simone, I'm glad you are helping your friends like Diana and Xyla. It's just so wonderful to see you two together. I look forward to many more lovely videos from you both!
Yayyy! Forgive the n00b question, but if you wanted to land on Catalina, how does that work? I mean is there like “hourly Cessna parking” or would you have to have some kind of arrangement laid out ahead of time?
small airports generally dont charge for a few hours of parking your plane. some small airports even have loaner cars you can borrow instead of renting. it really varies depending on the airport or even the time of year. I'd assume catalina is a pretty small airport, I haven't been there, but small airports will have tie downs for planes. They don't generally charge for those. If you wanted a covered hangar they'd charge for that.
Yeah! Most small airports have tie downs, usually free though often there's an overnight fee (usually ~$5) and you don't generally need to call ahead. Catalina is unique-ish as it is in a National Park and has a $35 landing fee - though parking is free :)
Very enjoyable video with two of my favorite creators tooling around in the sky together. Being sponsored, I was a little "eh?", but frankly those synthesized camera view points are incredible. This was great!
This was super awesome! Keep it up. Lots of fun seeing you two having fun. Visuals were great.
Thank goodness you're feeling better. Best wishes, Xyla. Would LOVE to try flying!
Such a fantastic video. So much delightful energy from you both, thank you for bringing us along for it.
Thank you for a moving, beautiful experience
Two of my favorite people having fun! Just doesn't get much better.
It's great, seeing you have so much fun!
Enjoy!
flying seems so serene. awesome.
This video is *everything* that is so wonderful about aviation.
Absolutely awesome - looked very smooth
I could watch this all day long, so amazing!!!! And your plane is stunning! 😍
Xyla, that 140 is just beautiful. So glad to see her being loved and used by such a pilot/owner as yourself. Also, more collabs like this in the future! Really enjoyed watching you and Simone together!
What a delightful video. I grinned for the whole time I watched it. So much joy and enthusiasm. Thank you. I sold my plane 23 years ago due to deteriorating hearing. Flying is such freedom in 3D literally. when you were checking the fuel drains reminded me of hosting a pilot from Germany, when I threw the fuel/water on the tarmac he was surprised because in germany they have containers for that rather than polluting. Terrific to watch the two of you having fun and learning.Thank you once again.
This was such a fun wholesome video on top of being really cool and picturesque, so happy to see you back!
I LOVE the joy of flying. The footage from the Insta360s is amazing! Thanks so much for sharing this with all of us.
Such a fun video! Hope more videos with you two are on the horizon
You are amazing! It was so nice to see you and Simone flying together and seeing the joy in your eyes.
The feels are overwhelming. What a great video, just so much there!
Awesome video, I'm a CFII closing in on the days where I'm off to fly jets and I take so many amazing things we do for mundane and normal. So cool to see people getting to experience GA for the first time and be so excited. Great reminder for how privileged we are to get to do this.
This is a great video! Simone is so excited!
