Stevie, From an 80 yr old geezer, whose left seat days are behind him, riding along with you was a total delight. Thank you.
I didn’t realize how much work, attention to logging, and communication goes into flying. You make it look easy and enjoyable despite the responsibility and skill needed to fly a plane! Very cool!
Who is "We"
I'm a 52 yr old man, and this young lady is doing something that would literally scare the living daylights out of me. I applause your courage.
You do know that people are leaving California for a better life…….stay safe and good luck
I want to thank you for letting us follow your passion for flight. I'm 58 yrs old and getting ready for retirement. My wife and I were on the lookout for a new truck and a 5th-wheel trailer. That all changed when I saw your videos. Needless to say, you gave an old man searching for youth admirations. I got the bug and did the research. Now I'm a 58 yrs old student pilot. I am already looking for a Mooney or a Beechcraft. Just so you know new truck and 5th-wheel for what we were looking for is around $130,000.00 not to include the $40.00 to $80.00 per night at a campsite. plus time setting it up. After talking to our pilot for work who also is a DPE has bought 6 planes in the last 20 years and might have lost a total of $5,000.00 Way better return than 5 yrs and an old trailer to trade in. So if any old people are watching this go for the plane. At the night's end, there are no bugs in a double-tree hotel. Thank you Stevie for your inspiration with a new dream of not being put out to pasture. I will keep you updated on my progress. Keep doing what makes you happy.
Been a controller for the past 13 years now. Always love when pilots shows us some love 😎👊
The most impressive part is how fluently they ramble all those codewords so rapidly. I'd stutter so hard. LOL
Hi Stevie, This is Del at K52, Thanks for including us on your Awesome Video, Good Luck on your move, Stop By anytime
I might have mentioned this to you before but really appreciate your use of the checklist and overall attitude and flying techniques. I have owned 3 Bonanzas and a Baron since 1983 and been a CFI-I for 29 years and you are a great inspiration for other young ladies as well as others. I taught my son to fly beginning at age 15 and instrument rating in our S35. He spent 22 years in the USAF and flew all three fighters and is with UAL as a 777 instructor. I also taught a 22 year old young lady Instrument, Commercial, and CFI and she now flys the Airbus for Frontier. What I mean by all this is that I hope you continue to excel in GA and inspire others. This can be life changing for others. Keep it up.
This is way a better example of pilot workload / workflow than most of the TH-cam pilots provide. I literally forgot how much work a flight like this is. Nice job!
One thing I noticed was how we started in beautiful lush green landscapes and end up in brown dry landscapes
Kudos for thanking the tower for their patience while learning to fly there, they rarely get thanks for that, I am sure it was much appreciated! Love watching your adventures, fly safe and high! ❤️
You are an inspiration for any person interested in aviation or anything else. So awesome to see you do this.
Her videos are so well made. the right mix of relaxation and information to make you enjoy the flight without actually pretending it takes no effort. top quality content
Stevie, I just wanted to say that your videos changed my life. You inspired me to become a student pilot and by doing so I've changed my lifestyle so that I my medical isn't an issue. Thank you for sharing. I should be soloing in the next few weeks.
First time on this channel. I enjoyed that! Thanks for taking us along. New sub.
What a fun adventure. It looks like you had perfect weather for your move. My 2.5 year old daughter is obsessed with going to see that small planes taking off and landing at our local airfield. I'm therefore already saving up for her flight lessons.
There's always something awesome about watching someone be good at what they do.
This was a really nice video to watch. My dad was a pilot most of his life and I didn’t really get into the idea of flying myself until after he passed. So it’s cool to see someone really doing it from a young age. Also idk how you’re flying and keeping up with 3 go pros. Lol
