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
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.
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!
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 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!
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 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
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.
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!
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.
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.
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!
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 👍🏻
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!
Hey! Portland, ME; immediately recognized the NEA building. Mac Jets is really nice too, some great FBOs there even for the little piston guys. Good place for food or an overnight.
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.
Nice to see you getting some night time in the log book...cameras were fine...appreciate the different perspective and a night landing that was excellent...well done as always!
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...
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.
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..
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.
I work at Duncan Aviation in Lincoln, NE, doing Avionics Install. I have to say that my favorite cockpit setup is the Cessna Citation CJ3 (aka the Citation 525B) with the Collins Fusion touchscreens. They're so easy to use. We did the first 13 installs on them, one after the other. I got used to the Fusion system quite a bit. Normally my job of installing avionics is a bit of a nightmare as we work a completely different setup every other week on a completely different type of airframe. Everything seems designed to not work together, yet we have deadlines to make. I miss having to do Fusion after Fusion installs. That was good times.
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!
Good stuff! Not a manned pilot, or even planning to become one, but do have my Part 107 sUAV certification, which has helped to peak my interest in wanting to fly along with you and learn stuff! Thanks for the great videos!
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.
My goodness that was a quick takeoff and you climb so much quicker than Mr Greg and the other one I follow. You get to 10k right now. Love the night video. Great idea and thanks buddy.
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)...
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.

@@W00PIE Well we have readbacks for that. Also you sort of get used to it.
Same here!
But I think while the person in the training sessions he/she will catch and memories the instruction...

Don`t say that to my kids...
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.
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.
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
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!
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.
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

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!
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.
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!!😃
First video of this guy and it was awesome. After combing through the comments, nothing but positive things about him. Subscribed!
“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!😃👍🏻📽🛩
Agreed. Love these videos. I learn so much.
He has a lot of nice landings.

@gcam1611 Very smooth landing.

So peaceful watching you fly
Loved how they drove up your car right at the end lol! Great video Max
Thanks for watching!!
My dad is a pilot. He owns an AgCat and a Stinson. Love your vids, brother. Happy flying!
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
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.
Max, I really enjoy your videos.
They even bring your car to you on the ramp. Exquisite.
Or loan you one no charge
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!
I really love night flight videos especially inside the cockpit! Hope to see more videos like this in the future!!!
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.
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

The fact that you do this so effortlessly is dumb-founding. Props to you. Fantastic video as well!
Great that you're not leaving us all in the dark about things.
Wonderful and enjoyable videos! Makes me miss my Mooney 201 45T, but feel so blessed to have enjoyed my decade enjoying that boyhood dream!
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
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!
Beautiful night flight. I can only imagine how it feels on a quiet night with the plane all to yourself. 👨🏻✈️🥷🏻
Terrific aero parlance. Always loved aeronautics and avionics..bravo ten four!!
This is the Pilot you want on every flight, you make flying seem so easy!!
Great video Max!
Hey! Portland, ME; immediately recognized the NEA building. Mac Jets is really nice too, some great FBOs there even for the little piston guys. Good place for food or an overnight.
Great video. Would love to see a full flight one day, from cold & dark to finish. 👍
Awesome! Used to be first officer on a 560 XLS. Great Aircraft. Miss the GA
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 watching this late at night, and I also would have enjoyed watching this entire clip. I am glad you had a safe flight.
“Turn left when able.” “Alright cool.” Lol
That is a beautiful video , It must one hell of a feeling of liberty flying alone at night .
Another great video. I'm building time watching your videos. Sadly, my left seat time has ended, so I appreciate 'flying time' with Max.
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.
Nice Max... ALWAYS stay AHEAD of the plane!
Night flight is exciting. Your Glass Cockpit is very clear and colourful. Great screen size.
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!
Hello Tim from Maryland. I love your flying show thank you for sharing 👍👍
Max, you're absolutely professional. Thanks for sharing your flying. 🤟
Thanks John! That means a lot. Take care
I'm blown away - jealous in a nice way. Very,very good video man...
Flying has never been so up close and personal...
This would make me extremely nervous being that I don’t know how to fly.
Really enjoyed following along with your flight. Interesting to see various flight details and hear the commuications.
Ha! Love the seatbelt sound!
Nice to see you getting some night time in the log book...cameras were fine...appreciate the different perspective and a night landing that was excellent...well done as always!

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.
That was cool to see. Liked the sounds of the engines as well. And rotate within 10 seconds, what a beast is that aircraft :) Thanks!!

Beautiful, beautiful videos. Thanks for making them.
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.
Thats awesome you got to visit us here in Maine (my homestate). The Jetport is a great airport.
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!
