- Come along as we fly from Naples (KAPF) up to Knoxville (KTYS) to take delivery of our new 2023 Cirrus SR-22! Special thanks to everyone at the Cirrus Vision Center who made the delivery experience so special for our family.
When a Pilot speaks faster than the Tower, you know that he is showing off for youtube :)
Congratulations. She is a beauty.
Congratulations man! Thank you for sharing this beautiful experience.
I have always told my wife that we will work hard enough that one day we own a jet. watching you buy the best single engine piston plane makes even want to work harder towards our goals.
May god bless you with tail winds and clear skies.
Thank you fir sharing your great trip.
FO sounds great on the radio. Fun to share the comm duties
You made me feel like I was going to pickup my new Cirrus Thanks for the ride!!!!!!!!!!!!
Glad you guys are back and best of luck with your new air machine!
Cloud streets form when cold, stable air air spills into an environment with just enough moisture at cloud level. The stable environment keeps the clouds from becoming too tall, and also allows for the clear spaces between lines of convective clouds to form. The cumulus clouds that form orient themselves with the mean wind. Beneath each row of clouds are little convective vortices. The clouds form where the air is ascending within the vortices. The clear spaces form where the air is descending.
Cloud streets are especially common when cold air rushes over bodies of water. It is also quite common during lake-effect! Often in West Michigan when the winds are right, bands of clouds and snow organize into lines, or streets, similar to what was spotted over West Michigan on Wednesday.
Would love to see the passenger compartment and other features as well. Some people want to see how their family would fit.
Thanks for the C130.
Cheers from France America 🤚
The aqua blue ponds you were flying over were Kaolin mines. Kaolin is used in paint, chalk, and a bunch of other things. That is what makes the water so blue. Congrats on the new plane.
Thanks! I’ve never even heard of Kaolin, but now that I googled it, that stuff is in everything, it seems!
Congratulations on your new plane! :)
Such a beautiful brand new bird! Congratulations!
Thanks!
Thank you a most enjoyable flight from your new subscriber
Thanks and welcome!
Enjoy your final flight!
Congratulations. Picked up mine in December. Same color scheme. Love it. Be safe
Thanks! We love the meteorite/sterling silver paint combo!
It is really pretty. Only difference, I did the lunar color with the black accent on the seating
I really liked the Lunar interior! If it weren’t for the fact that we’re usually hauling two German shepherds along with us, I would have totally picked Lunar as one of the interior colors!
"cool" i love that Cirrus its only a dream to fly one.
Congrats on the new plane! The blue water ponds are in fact old mines. The color somehow comes from the Kaolin (chalk clay) they were mining which isn’t blue at all but instead is white.
Congratulations on the new plane!
Thanks!
congrats!
Thanks!
Very nice..
Amazing video
Great video. Congratulations on the new aircraft. Would love to talk to you guys about owning your aircraft. I’m looking to buy our first.
Great plane, great video. Thanks for sharing. I hope to own a Cirrus someday. Question on the 121 ground frequency. Is that regional or by class? At my home airport ground is 124.4. Thanks again.
Thanks! I guess I’m not 100% certain if ground being on 121 is regional. I know that JFK in New York, LAX in California, and most of the airports in the Midwest that we use are all on 121, but I think we’ve also been to a few where it is a different frequency!
I mean this is cool and all but that SR22T G7 glass panel is starting to grow on me :p
Agreed!
Great flight and view's. congratulations on the new plane Where i come from there is a charity raffle with a chance to win a brand new SR22. Drawn this Friday. Thanks
Visiting parents down in Naples, we'll be looking for BZ.
nice
What did you use to record the video? And how did you plug in to record the comms audio and your voice also? Did you have to use an adapter with your headset?
Not sure what is so exciting when nothing really changed, just the date 2023…
Glad to have found this channel! Nice video. What’s your guys’ stories?
Thanks! We started flying in 2019. We learned how to fly in a Cirrus SR20 and bought our first Cirrus SR22 shortly thereafter. We’ve been aviation geeks ever since!
nice :))
Hey Steve, quick question about the Cirrus if you don’t mind. Is there a big difference between the G5 and G6? Basically do you think it is worth the price difference when buying used? Thanks
Its been a while since I've looked at a G5, but if my memory serves, I think airframe-wise, they are basically identical to an earlier version G6. Later G6's have a few aerodynamic improvements that add a couple kts. G6 has nicer door handles, perspective plus avionics (very similar, but a little faster and maybe better resolution?), and the LED wingtip lighting. I guess in my mind it would come down to the price difference in the used market, which I haven't looked at in a long time. If there is not a huge price different, the G6 does have some neat new features. If there is a big price difference, I'm not sure most people would care too much about the small difference in features.
@@steveandbeth Thank you
Why did you guys to buy a new one vs keep the one you had? I’m also a Cirrus driver. Love the videos!
No really good reason for buying the new one, other than it’s nice to have the plane under warranty and the 5 year warranty was just ready to expire on our 2018. Also, we fly a lot of hours, so from a resale perspective, it seemed to make sense to sell the old one before the hours got too high and to start over at zero hours on the new one.
Mountain flying ? Come to Colorado !
Ok, you’ve got a point! We love the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Smokey Mountains… but you’re right… Colorado mountains are a whole different animal! Colorado is definitely on our list of places to fly around and explore!
What do you do for a living? That plane has got to be close to $900,000
Beth; how do you like the Bose Pro Flight in a piston plane?
I really like the ProFlight headset! We do a lot of long trips and after 8 hours of flying the A20's/A30's get really uncomfortable for me. I think there's a little more noise than with the A20 headsets in a piston, but it doesn't bother me.
@@steveandbeth
Thanks appreciate it, we were thinking about going that way, we have A20’s now…
PS:
Praises for the blessed outcome of your baby’s heart surgery!
Did you trade in your 2018 or sell it?
What was your average speed and total flight time?
It was about 682 nautical miles and 3hrs 47mins of flight time
what on earth do you do for a living??? wow
Is it me or is the video actually too bright?
Its not just you! Some of the mountain clips turned out really overexposed... Not sure why, but we'll make sure to color correct a little better next time! Thanks for letting us know!
Chemtrails😂
Why not hand fly in the clouds? Only way to stay competent in real IMC is to fly in real IMC.
The only real reason for us not to hand fly in imc is because we were taking off at a busy time of day from a busy terminal environment (Naples/South Florida) where we knew we would be getting a bunch of vectors and handoffs. I’d much rather be on autopilot in IMC when workload is high.
Yeh totally understand, I am based at KPGD. Since actual doesn't happen that often down here I take advantage of it whenever I can, just in case the 700 bombs (I know not often) and I have to actually fly the plane in IMC. What year was the 22 you sold?
That makes sense! We get plenty of IMC up in Minnesota! Our last one was a 2018.
You couldn’t be more wrong. If safety is your priority, which it should be versus showing off your manlihood, you would utilize all of your equipment, including the auto pilot set back and monitor what is going on. Work smarter not harder. There’s a reason real pilots, professional pilots use auto pilots.
@Captndarty Yep, tell that to the pilot who loses his A/P and can't hand fly the airplane. Had it happen to a friend flying his Cirrus. You missed my point if you read into my comment that using the A/P never has a purpose. But never hand flying the plane is actual is a request to scare the shit out of you.
