I've followed the Sailing Doodles videos for quite some time. I'm also a former Army fixed wing pilot, during which time I obtained an Airman's Certificate for Airplane, Single and Multiengine Land, Instrument rating. The Sailing Doodles skipper (Bobby) recently welcomed aboard a new crew member to his sailing vessel, a lovely lady named Dakota. Both she and Bobby are both certificated pilots with more advanced ratings than I have. Bobby has said he wanted Dakota to take the lead in promoting Flying Doodles to promote his TH-cam videos in various aspects of flying. As a 78 year old no-longer-flying pilot, I watch many flying videos on TH-cam for my personal interests. Lo and behold I see the lovely Dakota in this video. I was pleasantly surprised to recognize her! Dakota is a multifaceted woman, obviously smart as hell and able to speak "aviation" like a pro! Good to see you, Dakota! Flying with a pilot that has flown a C-182 around the world made for a terrific interview! Keep up the good work!
Nice one Dakota. It's amazing how a little Cessna 182 R, 1981 vintage flew around the world. Dakota keep these flying Doodles videos coming and the sailing with Bobby. Looking forward to seeing more
Bobby.....I liked this channel before....but Dakota is a significant upgrade! She is in her element in an airplane. Knowledgeable, confident and easy on the eyes and ears. I hope you make sure she stays current and can progress towards a flying career in addition to being a regular on all your channels!
bobby gets his wings clipped cuz of ''health crap'' ..... bobby goes out and finds a HOTTIE CFI to fly around ''with'' snikker ;) HEHEHEHEEH seems like somthing *I* would do...!!! I would also prolly have one of those KITFOXES or somthing and do it LOW & SLO without the MED CRAP of the GA ;) And go out BUSH FLYING but... yea...
I still think out of all the aircraft I’ve flown the 182Q I have 60hrs in was my favourite, they’re such a reliable and comfortable aircraft. Also I love how he said, “not perfect but I’ll take it” after his landing when the front tyre couldn’t have touched down any closer to the centre of the centreline haha. Great video guys !!
Nicely done, Dakota. Ross has a very interesting story with amazing planning abilities. Look forward to more of these and crossing paths again soon. 💯📸🛩️
Interesting experiment to see the operating sytems of each opposite personality so close in that tiny cabin. Mister IA twice checker and miss Lushy in the sky with a diamond smile.
Man I completely feel you pain. I flew BUENOS Aires To Atlanta USA during COVID Trying to find 100 LL was by far the hardest part. Plus paying the never ending fees.
Thank you so much for the video ! So informative ! At 14:50 you speak of "that what gets people" regarding the weather. Did you know that 80% of general aviation fatal crashes are in vfr conditions ? That's from Dan Gryder's Sunday, 11-12-23 video and earlier ones too. I look forward to more watching your videos. Thanks again so much.
I knew two couples who were 4 doctors. They planned a trip to Europe. They shipped the clothes to use to Europe a month before. They had extra tanks added to the plane. They were able to fly all over Europe for a month. They shipped everything back afterwards and reversed the flight over. I was able to hear about it on my visit with them.
Dakota, you were fantastic with the Ross interview about his round the world flight adventure...love to see you on Sailing Doodles...keep up the good work.
Wow, that is an amazing story and a well shot/edited episode. I love to see the growth and confidence of Dakota in this episode. More of these features would be amazing!
Great seeing you out and about in your element Dakota. I hope you might come for a visit with us in Australia? There’s so much to explore here and I’m sure you’d love the country, the experiences and the people You’re doing a great job on FD. I hope to see a lot more of you soon. 🛩️👍🇦🇺
Very interesting vlog. Some very good questions from Dakots. I bet he got some looks in some of the FOB's he landed at. He's a very intellectual guy. That would be a haul flying 17 hrs on one leg in a 182. How did he talk to contollers from other countries? Other countries have bilingual controllers? I would think that would be a challenge. I'm an A&P and want to get my pilots license, and found this vlog so awesome! Thanks Dakota
Super informative video. Comments from Ross and Dakota were spot on. When I think back to my first cross country about a hundred years ago, lol, and how nervous I was, to hear about probably a 20, 000 + mile trip makes my little endeavor seem like nothing. We all had to start somewhere tho, right?
Interesting plane, pilot and story Dakota, nice start. I think the video would be improved if you had introduced the pilot and done the first part more as an interview than a monologue. Once you all were in the air you did a great job with your questions and overall conversational style. Nice start to your ‘solo’ flying. 🛫
I did the Pponk upgrade on a 1976 182p. Funniest Idiocracy was demonstrating a power on stall. The plane just wants to ride the prop. Had a heck of a time getting it to even buffer. Found that if I held yoke back about 75% and then yanked the last 25% it would finally buffer and stall so I could pass my biannual. I miss that plane!
That is incredible. I am checked out in a C150, C172, and C182. Unfortunately I have not flown since 2007. Health issues are prohibitive. I can still get a provisional medical, but it is just to hard, too many hoops to jump through to get it. That plane is great. Thanks for the video. What an achievement, I cannot imagine flying over the Pacific in a single.
Great video beautifully done Dakota you are so professional your love of flying shows, but we hope to see you on Sailing Doodles and Glamping Doodles very soon, Bobby kneads someone like you to add that Feminine touch.........(and to kick his ass from time to time) ??? 😍😎😎🤤
Flying around the world in a small airplane loaded with extra fuel tanks reminds me of Charles Lindbergh's famous transatlantic flight. Ross has to be in a record book of some kind.
I can’t wait to book my intro flight and go from there is it’s something I like. I know I love the idea but I can’t know if it’s for me until I try the intro flight
You should do an episode with Stevie Triesenberg. Would be an interesting story given her love of unique, classic planes. Two female pilots would be a cool concept.
06:42 bruuh couldn't resist to check them out! smooth one
😂
smooth would have been if she wasn't looking
What an amazing guy. He's flown around the world and yet stayed humble
He started his flight in Zelienople PA, that's were I started flying as a teenager and soloed! What a coincidence!
I live in that area. Still just a little North up in Mercer County.
Great episode! What an amazing accomplishment for him! Great interview Dakota...

True words,👌
Thank you, Ross. Thank you, Dakota for another Fantastic Episode. ❤
Great job Dakota very interesting plane and the trip Ross talked about.
Dakota, good thoughtful interview from a pilot's perspective!!!

@@jackburns804 Amazing the most over used word in the 21st century. I supposed to non pilots she’s impressive. 🥱
Another great episode!
Another well done video Dakota!

The Guy Couldn't Stop Talking About Long Legs and Dakota's Right Next Door !
! ! ! HOLY DAKOTA'S ! ! !
😁👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
What a logistics effort.
6:42- inspecting the luggage.
You fit right in ... comfortable conversation - interesting interview.
Interesting experiment to see the operating sytems of each opposite personality so close in that tiny cabin.
Mister IA twice checker and miss Lushy in the sky with a diamond smile.
You took off and landed ON THE CENTERLINE. Well done.
Man I completely feel you pain. I flew BUENOS Aires To Atlanta USA during COVID Trying to find 100 LL was by far the hardest part. Plus paying the never ending fees.
Dakota has a personality in planes! I enjoy her commentary and knowledge…and personality! Nice upgrade to the channel.

👍✅👏Well done Dakota! We don't need Bobby anymore LOL
Dakota! Nice to see you here but I miss you on the boat. A lot of people miss you on the boat.
Wow Dakota !!! That was AWSOME.. thank you for doing that !!! That was very interesting….More content please… That was a wonderful segment..!!!
Dakota, you were fantastic with the Ross interview about his round the world flight adventure...love to see you on Sailing Doodles...keep up the good work.
Awesome story! Great job Dakota! Keep these interesting stories coming
Neat story. Looking great and getting more comfortable. Nice work!
17 hours in a Cessna bro deserves some kind of gold medal engraved with diamonds
Wow, would not have picked him as a Kiwi. Grew up in UK I suspect, speaking The Queen’s English. Great video Dakota.
You have a good ear.
Married to a kiwi, I know kiwi.....just had a house full of 'em..... eh......😀
Wow, that is an amazing story and a well shot/edited episode. I love to see the growth and confidence of Dakota in this episode. More of these features would be amazing!
Great flight! You're doing a super job in hosting and producing these videos.
wow what a super adventure that's amazing cool
One of my favorite episodes on this channel. Very interesting story.
Very interesting flight. I have never met a more interesting and accomplished Pilot. Thanks Dakota
Great seeing you out and about in your element Dakota. I hope you might come for a visit with us in Australia? There’s so much to explore here and I’m sure you’d love the country, the experiences and the people

ATC is in English worldwide; with the exception of smaller local fields in New Caledonia and France where it was in French!
@@RossEdmondsongood to know, thanks for the information
The 182 is a great plane, very cool video. We had a 182 RG that was fun and a pleasure to fly.
As a former 182 owner, Dakota is correct, if you can close the doors, you're legal.....nice job Dakota.
Very inspiring Ross, thanks for sharing!
Impressive plane, story & guy. Great episode!
18:58 always ask if you don’t know something or are unsure, ALWAYS
Lookin' good Dakota!!!!!!!
super cool!
Nice episode!
Well done Dakota....a very Nice one!!!!....congrats young Lady!!!

Great video ... looking forward to the episode where you stop in Jamaica.
Dakota is doing a great job!
Amazing stuff. Lots of love from Kenya!
Great video,,,enjoyed the flight and the narrative...Good Job Dakota....wm
Fantastic video

I love Dakota and Emma of Flying Doodles.
Dakota…you rock! Glad to see you enjoying flying doodles.
Well done Dakota. Wings are better than sails? 😀
Great to hear about your adventures good video interesting and informative 👍👍
She is just perfect for this channel
That is an amazing accomplishment in a 182! He must have alot of courage to attempt an around-the-world voyage through the air. Great video Dakota!
That is avery cool plane, and great piolot. he knows his plane. very very cool cheers 🍻🍻
love dakota
Galveston! Fun to see an area I'm familiar with in a Flying Doodles video.
Sounds to me you got very deep pockets and really good sponcers .
Nice job Dakota.....very well done
Fantastic!
Love to see a vid. on a Meyers Aero Commander, awesome planes to this day. Esp. the "200".
Very interesting, 💕love it❤️💕
Well done Dakota.
Nice plane Ross.
I wish there was a walk around with the wing tip add ons... that was the only thing missing here. Amazing mods.
how much did the trip cost?
That is incredible. I am checked out in a C150, C172, and C182. Unfortunately I have not flown since 2007. Health issues are prohibitive. I can still get a provisional medical, but it is just to hard, too many hoops to jump through to get it. That plane is great. Thanks for the video. What an achievement, I cannot imagine flying over the Pacific in a single.
Dakota kicks it! Awesome!
Great video, Dakota always gets a like.😉😍
Great video beautifully done Dakota you are so professional your love of flying shows, but we hope to see you on Sailing Doodles and Glamping Doodles very soon, Bobby kneads someone like you to add that Feminine touch.........(and to kick his ass from time to time) ??? 😍😎😎🤤
Tip tanks..twin 40’s on each side for main stock fuel bladders..???…curious…
great video 👌
Flying around the world in a small airplane loaded with extra fuel tanks reminds me of Charles Lindbergh's famous transatlantic flight. Ross has to be in a record book of some kind.
Thank you Dakota ❤
For those long 17hour flights, how do crew rest/max hour requirements play into that? Is there a waiver for these types of flights?
I can’t wait to book my intro flight and go from there is it’s something I like. I know I love the idea but I can’t know if it’s for me until I try the intro flight
You should do an episode with Stevie Triesenberg. Would be an interesting story given her love of unique, classic planes. Two female pilots would be a cool concept.
Good stuff!
Young lady, you are a natural at this TH-cam thing Bobby made a great choice.
