To realize that mankind has went from a horse and buggy to flying an extremely sophisticated machine in addition to manufacturing all the thousands of components to make this machine operate so smoothly is astonishing
Every time I see a night flight I always think of the pilots who flew the 101st into Normandy. The only thing they had was a compass to keep them on track. Brave heroes!
Thanks for sharing this with us. To me it really seems like the hardest part of flying is understanding people on the radio when they talk so fast, especially when they're giving you a long list of instructions to read back to them.
I never understood this. Everything in aviation is so supersafe and redundant, and then there's this ridiculously noisy radio where you really have a hard time imagining what could have been said.
A lot of what they’re saying is standard stuff that they say every time. The pilots know what they’re saying and are simply expecting it. Like knowing the script while someone else says it. Lots of safety and regulations talk. Like a if every time you pull into a grocery store parking lot you radio in and say “approaching east entrance 20mi per hour, brakes working, elevation fine, no visual on incoming traffic, gas and engines fine, approaching the same parking spot you told me to approach 30 mins ago”. Then say that every time over and over.
It's only cool if you think it's cool. As a teenage pilot in 1976 I had the privilege, as a paying passenger, to sit in the cockpit from 5 min after takeoff from Iceland to 30 min till landing at JFK. Afternoon flight. Pilot, copilot, engineer, and me. That's the day I changed career paths, never a regrett. But aviation must be in the DNA, my son is a helicopter pilot. It's up to you to do your thing, be you, be safe.
Listening to pilots simply talk is a treat. Watching one operate and fly like I’m sitting next to them is just awesome. Really blows my mind all the coordination that goes on with one plane and various airspace’s let alone the thousands of flights happening all over at the same time
I like how they talked through the radio to ensure everything was right to take-off and always greet each other with "good evening" and, "have a great night". You don't feel lonely at all!
The visual of city lights and especially large airport lights at night is one of my favorite things about flying. Thanks as always for the excellent video.
I really like that, to save time, you communicate all of the information that you know ATC is gonna ask for at once, and in turn it seems like he's doing the same and telling you all the info you need to know all in one transmission, instead of lots and lots broken up.
“Oh! Greased it!“ 😂😂😂 Love night flying! You don’t have to cut out the middle of the flight. I think I speak on behalf of all of your subscribers in saying we would be very happy to see the entire flight no matter how long the video is!😃👍🏻📽🛩
Middle of flights is time to relax a tad. Not completely, but a tad. And you don't want hard evidence out there that some hard-nosed government type might jump on.
@gcam1611 Basically it's a landing so smooth, you don't even realize you've landed. Arguments will ensue over whether this is a good thing or bad thing. LOL
Night flights are hypnotizing to me, I’m tall so it’s hard for me to sleep on planes but something about flying at night is magic. Props to you I would fall asleep.
All the procedure a pilot has to know is mind boggling. I would not be smart enough to speak properly on the radio. I'm binge watching right now, great job!
Another great flight! I love the way you recite every item on a checklist even though there may be no one listening. You're my instructor (sim only) my role model. Be safe.
Hi Max thank you so much for these videos! They’ve helped me so much in my road to getting over my fear of flying. Seeing you in complete control and the whole process of each flight is so reassuring and makes me feel much more comfortable being on a plane. Can’t thank you enough!
Wow, that user interface of computers on pedestal is really cool thing! I love how responsible it looks like and how many features are which simplify routine tasks. Nice!
I have been watching alot of aviation vlogs, and it's awesome see this man talk all commands as if there was a copilot, I guess it's just a reflex after a long time of doing the same thing . I love the video makes me feel like a virtual pilot.
Dude this is the first video of yours I've seen, and I have to say, seriously great quality video. The go pro on the flex mount above the instruments is so on point. Also you buttered the bread so smooth. Huge respect dude. Liked and subscribed 👍🏻
I am enjoying your videos as well as what went wrong videos. Your level of professionalism and care would make me feel comfortable taking a nap in cabin...
I love the military precision in this, like the ground guy just patiently standing there like a statue, as soon as all the checks are done (which i have zero understanding of), pilot flashes his lights, ground guy comes to life immediately and starts guiding....It's brilliant to be exposed to this.
Love your and Premiere 1 videos. I’m not a pilot but it seems to me your plane gets moving fast and up in the air quickly on takeoff. Enjoyed the night flight.
Another great flight Max. I always enjoy your professionalism both as a pilot and in your microphone handling technique. It's always great to ride along in the right seat with you. Wishing safe flights always.
Ditto what Marshall wrote. Instead of a boring car ride home, Max does a night flight, with beautiful instruments in a super nice jet!. How you can remember everything the ATC tells you is beyond me! U Da Man!
Always the epitimy of professionalism, Max, I so enjoy watching your videos, you are defrinately an inspiration to any aspiring pilots. I can tell you worked hard to get threre. Well done.
I know they say it isn't good to be jealous... but I just can't help it! Such a beautiful plane, and beautiful night all to yourself. I hope to have that level of success one day, haha.
Flying to me looks to be a stressful activity, at least for me, I would be constantly running numbers in my head, constantly looking at my gauges. I don't have a fear of flying but I don't think I would honestly enjoy it, especially solo. All props to this guy and others who find enjoyment in such things.
O yes, it is. Not only for you. When I did my first night flying lessons shortly after my ppl, my landings were , how to put it mildly, rather rough. No sense of relative height, „VFR“ very hard and only possible in very familiar regions along major roads, but it was kind of a preparation training for late landings after a VFR flight. It is awkward not to do this in IFR..
What an awesome skill to have. I remember messing around with MS Flight Simulator when I was young and one day I decided to do it right and go to MS "Ground School". Well....let's just say it wasn't very fun and it was really tough to master all of the technical stuff...I gave up and went back to messing around. I respect a commercial pilot more than I respect a surgeon (and I really respect surgeons)...
This is why I love YT. One minute I'm watching 45 minutes of a guy camping in the wild, catching frogs to fish for Pike then freaking out because he lost his fire starter, to an awesome dude flying a private jet after catching up with a mate for a meal.
Love the night flight! I “felt” the nighttime difference too. I love your play by play too - even the battery start up explanation. (I’m not a pilot - but wanted to be when I was a kid but my eye sight is terrible). Thank you for doing what you do.
I don't fly and never have but watching you eases my fear (maybe not enough to fly) but if I was famous, I'd definitely want someone like you at the wheel for sure. You have confidence, and control over what you're doing. Excellent 👌
I did a tour of the Portland ATC with my instructor early in my flight training 33 years ago. It was fascinating, I think people would like to see it if they would allow it these days. I know I’d like to see how things look in comparison to back then.
I go back 41 years. Did night flights w instructor from PNE, to PHL & back, also to an airfield w/o a tower somewhere in PA. But the most awesome one was piloting at night an A-36 Bonanza from IND to PHL flying over Pittsburgh in a clear night.
At 11:03 you commented on the condition of the camera quality for this video. Still, I can assure you for many like me it is a pure pleasure to experience the right seat in a beautiful jet plane as your Citation and watch and hear all that goes on in this flight from take-off to landing. Many thanks.
To realize that mankind has went from a horse and buggy to flying an extremely sophisticated machine in addition to manufacturing all the thousands of components to make this machine operate so smoothly is astonishing
Ye it really is. Imagine if we could like teleport a roman or an old greek to modern times. They would be astonished by what we were capable of.
Every time I see a night flight I always think of the pilots who flew the 101st into Normandy. The only thing they had was a compass to keep them on track. Brave heroes!
Yeah, you can only imagine what they would think of all latest Nav technology. Two extreme ends of the scale.
Living my pilot dreams through you!

Next do a spaceship.
However, there are times in aviation when it is better to do nothing than to do the wrong thing.
@@theseeker1237 Actually, it's up to the bank account.

Thank you for being one of the FEW pilot TH-camrs to show use of checklist in every phase of flight. The use of checklist cannot be overstated.
I like how they talked through the radio to ensure everything was right to take-off and always greet each other with "good evening" and, "have a great night". You don't feel lonely at all!
The visual of city lights and especially large airport lights at night is one of my favorite things about flying. Thanks as always for the excellent video.
Thanks Rob! Definitely cool seeing the night sky and the environment around. Wish the cameras picked more of it up
My dad is a pilot. He owns an AgCat and a Stinson. Love your vids, brother. Happy flying!
I love how polite Max is to ATC! 😃
THUMBS UP 👍 TO POLITENESS!!!
If you want better cooperation you gotta be polite to your colleagues mate
Class act. Thanks Max
Being a former controller, I wish there were more Max's during my career. That landing was world class!!
I think he’s an all around good guy! Low key and very down to earth. No ego!!😃
I really like that, to save time, you communicate all of the information that you know ATC is gonna ask for at once, and in turn it seems like he's doing the same and telling you all the info you need to know all in one transmission, instead of lots and lots broken up.

@gcam1611 Very smooth landing.
@gcam1611 Basically it's a landing so smooth, you don't even realize you've landed. Arguments will ensue over whether this is a good thing or bad thing. LOL
Damn that is so much power especially when flying so light without any passengers. It took off like a fighter jet. Amazing.
New Citation Max and premier1 driver videos the same day, priceless. Pure professionalism!!! Blue skies
Thank you David!
Night flights are hypnotizing to me, I’m tall so it’s hard for me to sleep on planes but something about flying at night is magic. Props to you I would fall asleep.
Loved how they drove up your car right at the end lol! Great video Max
Thanks for watching!!
All the procedure a pilot has to know is mind boggling. I would not be smart enough to speak properly on the radio. I'm binge watching right now, great job!
They even bring your car to you on the ramp. Exquisite.
Or loan you one no charge
First video of this guy and it was awesome. After combing through the comments, nothing but positive things about him. Subscribed!
At 1:51 in the video, love that the crew profile reads "The Best"!
This reminds me of one of those video games at the arcade that I never had enough tokens to play..
Exactly!
Which one? I think I remember lol.
Man I hated that shit
Afterburner !
I am guessing you don't have enough tokens to play this game either
I really love night flight videos especially inside the cockpit! Hope to see more videos like this in the future!!!
The fact that you do this so effortlessly is dumb-founding. Props to you. Fantastic video as well!
Another great flight! I love the way you recite every item on a checklist even though there may be no one listening. You're my instructor (sim only) my role model. Be safe.
So peaceful watching you fly
Great that you're not leaving us all in the dark about things.
Well damn that take off was fast! Blink and you’ll miss it 😂

Thanks for sharing this beautiful video, flying at night is really spectacular!
You make every flight seem like a bike ride. Great stuff.
funny you say that cause everytime i ride my motorcycle, i feel like im a flying a jet XD
Night flight is exciting. Your Glass Cockpit is very clear and colourful. Great screen size.
Beautiful night flight. I can only imagine how it feels on a quiet night with the plane all to yourself. 👨🏻✈️🥷🏻
Crazy the amount of knowledge and concentration needed for this.
Flying is hours and hours of boredom with a few moments of sheer terror
What he is doing is dumb AF, but in general, flying is fine. Commercial flying of course.
I hear you! 😂 Same with me.

Great video. Would love to see a full flight one day, from cold & dark to finish. 👍
Wonderful and enjoyable videos! Makes me miss my Mooney 201 45T, but feel so blessed to have enjoyed my decade enjoying that boyhood dream!
Dude this is the first video of yours I've seen, and I have to say, seriously great quality video. The go pro on the flex mount above the instruments is so on point. Also you buttered the bread so smooth. Huge respect dude. Liked and subscribed 👍🏻
That is a beautiful video , It must one hell of a feeling of liberty flying alone at night .
This is the Pilot you want on every flight, you make flying seem so easy!!
Great video Max!
I am watching this late at night, and I also would have enjoyed watching this entire clip. I am glad you had a safe flight.
Nice Max... ALWAYS stay AHEAD of the plane!

I just started getting into aviation and these videos are awesome! Can't wait to learn more as time goes on
get a scanner too :) its a real radio, better than online
man, this whole thing is like a symphony, it just.............flows. its a thing of beauty!
Beautiful night flying! Actually quite soothing to watch, I love it!
-Matt
Totally soothing. CM’s videos helped me get thru a brutal cold this week!
Terrific aero parlance. Always loved aeronautics and avionics..bravo ten four!!
Elliot is a great guy very professional and a great pilot. Awesome video max!
Yup, he’s the best! And thank you…. appreciate it
I am enjoying your videos as well as what went wrong videos. Your level of professionalism and care would make me feel comfortable taking a nap in cabin...
“Turn left when able.” “Alright cool.” Lol
Being a piolet is very complex. I am impressed
Another great video. I'm building time watching your videos. Sadly, my left seat time has ended, so I appreciate 'flying time' with Max.
I love the military precision in this, like the ground guy just patiently standing there like a statue, as soon as all the checks are done (which i have zero understanding of), pilot flashes his lights, ground guy comes to life immediately and starts guiding....It's brilliant to be exposed to this.
Any flight with you is second to none. Always informative, clear and constantly show us the technical info on the MFD's etc. Cheers
Thanks so much! Means a lot. See ya on the next video.
I'm blown away - jealous in a nice way. Very,very good video man...
Flying has never been so up close and personal...
Max, you're absolutely professional. Thanks for sharing your flying. 🤟
Thanks John! That means a lot. Take care
Something about seeing streetlights on the ground at night as you take off is so calming.
The training and time needed for certification adding in a little love for the flying definitely adds up to a major life achievement! Well done sir!
It's amazing of all the Stuff you have to do and remember! The night flying is very cool. ✈️
Your one lucky chap flying that jet and living your dream , I’d love to fly with you
Did he buy BTC in 2012?? Lol
Came across your channel,now watching it all the time, i am not a pilot but I jumped out of airplane many times, what you doing is amazing, thanks
This would make me extremely nervous being that I don’t know how to fly.
YOU ARE GREAT.
AND VERY CALM!
HAPPY LANDINGS!!!👍
Love your and Premiere 1 videos. I’m not a pilot but it seems to me your plane gets moving fast and up in the air quickly on takeoff. Enjoyed the night flight.

The ambience of a commercial plane, in the night kek, true nostalgia. this jet also sounds calm af
Another great flight Max. I always enjoy your professionalism both as a pilot and in your microphone handling technique. It's always great to ride along in the right seat with you. Wishing safe flights always.
The workload must be enormous. Respect.
