I'm 53 and a medically retired NWA pilot myself but I am right there with you...my dad was 1 of the 1st 20 Fed Ex pilots and an incredible airman...he went on to be the top DC-10 instructor when he lost his medical and even rewrote a procedure for the 10 that McDonnell Douglass incorporated into the manual for it. Was very proud to be his son and I miss mine too and he's been gone 16yrs. Sorry for your loss buddy
I read so many people missing their dads recently, especially on aviation related videos. it makes me sad that children have to part with their parents, I dread the day so so much..
I believe a Beach King Air 350 was used to extradite Dylan Roof to Charleston, North Carolina. So I would say it's a pretty good, very secure, and well contained platform to ship criminals in for sure.
Was raised around a king air at a small airport in little rock she belly landed once and was repaired but i sat on one wing as my little brother sat on the other as it was being pulled out of the hangar.......i used to play with the propeller blades that seemed gigantic to me at the time
Totally awesome and beautiful plane too.Wow that's super take off and the flying too. was just amazing job you done on this...Thank you so much for your videos and everything you do..
Nice video as I have always loved the King Air series of aircraft. The only thing that got me was the pilots not retracting the landing gear after takeoff. But hey, all pilots have different protocols when flying. Nice video!! 😊
Thanks very much! Yes, that was interesting to see the gear not being retracted for such a long time. It's the only time I've seen them leave it down that long.
I also love the king air series of aircraft the 350 being my personal favorite not only for the looks and performance but the fact it was also the plane used in Jurassic park
Medical Flight, keep the gear down in case of a problem. Once clear and all systems check pull the gear up. Otherwise pull em up shortly after rotation and rate of climb established. Beautiful aircraft that handles great.
My uneducated guess is that maybe you keep them down longer during higher altitude takeoffs? Maybe. Just a guess. In case you gotta put her back down quickly and can't wait for the mechanism to lower the gear again. Again, just a guess.
Why are there so many people commenting about the gear being down? Are there any King Air B350 pilots on here, or any pilots at all for that matter, that could provide some insight into this? Before everyone jumps to conclusion about the gear, there are a few things to bare in mind; the first thing is that you don’t know the circumstances that were present inside the cockpit at the time - the pilot may have had an annunciation or engine abnormality in which case for most aircraft it can be beneficial to leave the gear in the down position in the event that you need to land on the remaining runway as well as the fact that in some aircraft having gear down can actually provide some aerodynamic stability. Another few points too is that it may have been part of the local procedures for that aerodrome, it could have been part of the company’s SOPs, or may have had something to do with the location that they were flying in I.e. the terrain. Please think before making thoughtless comments.
Well if there's no more runway and one of the engines decide to take a lunch break there is some unwanted drag. And if at full gross things could get busy. The 350 is an awesome machine though!
Ouch! Look how he/she bent over the nose gear (at 2:40) by standing on the right brake. Tap and release, buddy, to tighten the turn-don't hold it down! And please do remember to straighten the nose wheel while the airplane is still moving; don't stop with it still at maximum deflection. Good thing for you it was a Beechcraft...tough as old tree roots...
Normal practice to leave gear down in wet conditions to prevent brakes from freezing. There's brake heat but you're limited to how long you can use it. This isn't a clapped out Navajo where the second engine will take you to the crash site with gear down. Tons of power.
Must be Nelson, BC! I have a King Air 350 (poor lil'lie ole me, now only a sim) but I LOVE flying my B-350 all over the world! I have the older version from 2006, however I shall invest soon for this brand new 2020 version of Microsoft FSX. I have seen a video of this new product and I must say the graphics and sound are SUPERB! So much detail that such has to be live streamed upon use! Oh yes, as soon as this COVID mess becomes history, I shall work to get my credentials and chance to pilot an actual 350 -- count on it!
Looks like he took his own sweet time to bring the gear up. If an engine had quit on him, he would have been well behind the curve to get things cleaned up.
I'm getting one soon for my family, so excited!
Post a vid once you get it lmao
Lucky, that should be a lot of fun!
How was the trip Raymond
bitch what u is a Kardashian?
I Pray that God Bless me to live that experience as well for my family for me to own an aircraft🙏🏼🙌🏼👊🏼🤎😎
Great video! One of aviation’s best airplanes. Rugged, proven and reliable! Had the pleasure to log some time in it.
I love the King Air, always one of my favourite aircraft to see pass through my local airport. Very cool, that must have been fun flying them!
@@TheHDAviation correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t this king air a medical supply transporter
Yes@@Amity172
Awesome stuff again! A huge pleasure to watch this King Air 350 from start-up to the take-off!
+matthiashaenni Thanks very much, I'm really glad you enjoyed the video!
Fantastic catch mate, that startup sound was incredible!!
+YMML SpottingTeam Thanks a lot!
my dad was a pilot from 1953 to 1987, he was the best I miss him.He loved to fly.
Cool.
that is very cool. You must be proud of your dad! ''''!''''✈🛫🛬

Fantastic video! Loved the sound of the startup! Such a beautiful aircraft.
+PVDAviation Thanks a lot!
Awesome video, that sound is amazing. We have King Air B200's operating all around Australia as air ambulances. Liked!
+Dat Plane Guy Thanks a lot! That's good you guys have the B200's there, the King Air is a great, versatile aircraft.
Spent a lot of time in Kings working as a flight medic in Alaska. Great plane, great video....thanks for posting.
Nice, that must have been a very exciting job. Thanks again, glad you enjoyed this one!
Thought this was an air ambulance as well....got few hundred hours myself in 90,100 & 200 series before jets and I loved this bird and the PT-6's
Keeping the gear down keeps the aircraft more stable at slower speeds for short field takeoffs, in case anyone is wondering.
Yea the King Air is really a king now isn't it.
So fine this Air Craft .. Elegance !!

I know when you release a video it will be EPIC!!!!!!!! that is why i look out for them
+Bajan Aviation Thanks so much, I'm really glad you enjoy them!
Absolutely Stunning video, I dig watching those King Air's, he sure woke those birds up at 3:38.
+Ed Whisenant Thanks a lot. Ya, I think they both surprised each other a little bit!
Awesome video! I LOVE the sound of those engines!
+David Halligan Thanks, I love that sound as well!
That's how a video should look, Very good and you used the right shutter speed, You done a super job, Keep up the good job Sir.
Thanks very much, I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
Soy argentino piloto privado que excelente video!! Uno de mis aviones preferidos que pedazo de macquina el 360. Saludos

An absolute pleasure! :-D
You ain't the only one who loves them
I like turboprop aircrafts.
Me as well!
By far one of my favorite aircraft
One of mine as well!

I absolutely love the kingair 350
These impressive turboprops are always a lot of fun to see!
super cool video , nice take off :)
Cracking shots of this superb King Air....Nice one...Steve.~

Excelent, my passion is the aviation
and legend has it that his gear remains down to this day......
Love the scenery,lovely sound!! Nice one, super like!!
+YANKYVICTOR HQ Thanks very much!
I love turboprops, I wish I could see more of those instead of simple piston props such as the Cessna 172 or Piper PA28
It's like I'm actually there! Great quality and great capture!
+ZNYSpotter Thanks very much, I appreciate it!
One of my favorites as well. Great video as always.
+James Cusson They are pretty cool indeed. Thanks a lot!

Cooper's a professional he can handle himself.
Cooper is a true badass! 😀
It’s so beautiful flying machine
King air is a great aircraft family!!
I agree, one impressive aircraft.

But my by far favorite aircraft would be the noaa Lockheed WP-3D Orion it’s just a sexy aircraft
@@Amity172 si la película que veía cuando tenía 7 años y la sigo viendo de vez en cuando si mal no recuerdo fue usado en Jurassic park 3
Beautiful video of a nice plane!

Nice plane, nice sound and nice video man...
+270WeaMag Thanks very much!

Same here, one of my favourite turboprops.

Just a thing of beauty to me.

+Darren Bennett Ya, it looks like they surprised them. Thanks!
Excellent take off 🎉
This one was fun to see!
My most favorite bad ass airplane
Love them as well!
Wow! Amazing video! Liked a lot :D
+YQBspotting Thank you!
Awesome filming.
+Flightbudy2channel Thanks!

Get that gear up man...
Was thinking the same thing
My uneducated guess is that maybe you keep them down longer during higher altitude takeoffs? Maybe. Just a guess. In case you gotta put her back down quickly and can't wait for the mechanism to lower the gear again.
Again, just a guess.
In aviation, everything has an explication.
Doubtful. Having the gear extended lowers your takeoff performance. That's why you usually retract it as soon as you establish positive rate of climb.
Maybe they were stuck and flying to a place that could repair them? ;)
Why are there so many people commenting about the gear being down? Are there any King Air B350 pilots on here, or any pilots at all for that matter, that could provide some insight into this? Before everyone jumps to conclusion about the gear, there are a few things to bare in mind; the first thing is that you don’t know the circumstances that were present inside the cockpit at the time - the pilot may have had an annunciation or engine abnormality in which case for most aircraft it can be beneficial to leave the gear in the down position in the event that you need to land on the remaining runway as well as the fact that in some aircraft having gear down can actually provide some aerodynamic stability.

Amazing King Air action! Liked :)
+Fin Aviation Thanks!
nothing like flying around with the gear down...
Sometimes I drive with my windows down.
Well if there's no more runway and one of the engines decide to take a lunch break there is some unwanted drag. And if at full gross things could get busy. The 350 is an awesome machine though!

+Igor Barros Muito obrigado!
Very cool! What airport is this!
This was filmed at CZNL in Nelson, British Columbia, Canada.
Wonder why the guy had the landing gear down so long after take-off? Normally it's like 1. lift off 2. positive climb rate 3. gear up
+tera dynes their air plane....maybe they are trying to be a rebel

Better to watch the mountain ahead of you and climb, rather than worry about the landing gear.
Great video! Really well filmed!

king of the sky ..
When you go Phukhet you have ladyboy king? 😯
Looks like he took his own sweet time to bring the gear up. If an engine had quit on him, he would have been well behind the curve to get things cleaned up.
Ya, that's the longest I've ever seen one of these air ambulances leave their gear down. Not sure why that happened this time.
Excellent jet.👍
MUSIC IN MY EARS! that sound
Love the sound of these things firing up!
@@TheHDAviation sound of starting a B29s engines is much better....or try a EC 135 engine
excelente video!. .
Thanks!
In my opinion this King Air 350 looks better than the gulfsteam!
I love the look of the King as well, one of my favourites.
But..No landing gear retracted?
Cool video.
Thanks!
After all the years I worked on ramps, the start-up of a PT6 will always be stuck in my head (a good thing, btw)...
I always love hearing the PT6 start up as well, you can't beat that sound.
Nice Airplane
I'll just go and add this to my favorite 😍great capture!
+Jaheem Stuart Thanks very much!
now to watch out for spinosaurus
Carol West "Cooper's a professional!"
Lol, Instituted Courser.
I always think of Jurassic park 3 every time I see this plane

"We cannot land on this island."
Gear retraction too late... What's the point leave the gear down at that moment?
So nice 👍...a dream
Love the King Air!
Loved it! :D
+planesguy Thanks!
This may sound like a dumb question but what make of turboprop engines are those? Lycoming, Allison, General Electric, or Pratt & Whitney?
+BIGBLOCK5022006 It's powered by Pratt & Whitney PT6's.
