I did my multi out in Rockford in 1982! I flew from North Las Vegas airport to Sedona for a hamburger in a turbo Seneca II. That was in 2004, last time i flew multi-engine. I put 425 hrs in a 1981 Pipe Aerostar 602P during my career in corporate aviation from 1981 to 1985. That started in an 1981 A36 bonanza (892 hrs) then on to the Aerostart - talk about a performer, I really miss flying that. Find some batteries!
Hi Ern! If you recall, a couple of videos ago I commented that I am close to doing my private stage 1 stagecheck. I passed it! My first solo is In a couple of days. I’m one step closer to living my dream, Southwest Airlines pilot. Thanks for the inspiration.
All that talk about food had me hanging out for some food B-roll 😁. Great to introduce Luke, he's doing some great editing. Can't wait to fly an SR22 one day. I'm upgrading from an RPL to CPL right now. Apparently an SR22 is a little heavy for me to fly according to RPL rules here in AU.
Hey Erg, love your channel. I'm not a pilot but my family used to go to the Upland airport in Upland CA. I think it was called Crazy Mike's, or something like that. We really enjoyed the breakfast there. Something else I thought was cool was they had a working enclosed phone booth outside of the restaurant . Haven't been their for a few years but I think it was popular for fly-ins so I hope its still there. Anyway thanks for the awesome channel and have a great day. Don Gesselman
Great video. I like the idea of rating all the food places. It was also cool seeing Big Ern talking Luke through the flight procedures. Could be a great flight instructor too.
Really love it ERNIE. I am taking what you say and apply to my simulation flying. I have lots to learn from you. You are fantastic. So glad we are friends. I am going to send you my foto of the cirrus sr22 g3 Turbo that I fly in simulation
Hello Ern! This video brings me back to my flight training: my school was Cae, based in Falcon Field :) We were used to fly to Sedona and have some good food there! I'm flying the 737 here in Europe now! Would love to come back and fly to Sedona once again
You guys should check out the Propeller restaurant at Borrego Springs airport (L08) in Southern California. Haven't been there but looks promising haha. Also "The Landing" at Palomar (Carlsbad)(KCRQ) right on the coast in San Diego.
Hey Ern! It was great to meet you and Sam at Migration. Great you guys came. I love the idea of doing a little series on great food stops! I don't have anything in the AZ area to suggest, apart from Sedona. I heard good things about that Mexican place at Winslow, and I had hoped to maybe stop there on the way back from Scottsdale, but the weather situation nixed that plan. Will have to fly over again sometime. I definitely second the Big Bear recommendation though. I see that you guys have the same trouble as everybody else with the Cirrus lap belts getting pulled way up by the shoulder harnesses. I wish they'd add a fifth strap, or maybe switch to a 3-point style like Diamond uses in the DA-62.
I love this man, two great friends flying together going for lunch, beautiful weather in a beautiful airplane, man, that whats its all about right? Thanks BigErn for your awsome vids! Hope i meet you one day.
I enjoyed your short flight nice flight to Sedona. I like the mentioning of Payson (PJB PAN) airport Crosswind restaurant. Their breakfast & pies are great. I live in Payson I am a former pilot lost it due to health. I watch your videos as First Officer for SWA, enjoy. When in SoCal in your Cirrus N51FM go to Flo’s restaurant & if time walk over to Planes of Fame WWll flying museum.
Big Erin…….great video I think you’re too humble you are ex military and have more flight hours than most and you say that you grease the landings by accident no sir that is a skill you worked your butt off to get! I fly almost exclusively on SW and I feel very comfortable in back knowing that guys like you who are ex military are up there flying me to my destination. I’m heading to Pensacola tomorrow from KMCI and am really looking forward to this 6 days on the beaches in Orange Beach, AL sugar like sand! Next week I’m off to Boston, the week after to Baltimore, the week after that to Cleveland and all of those flights are Business Select so I will make Companion Status for my 10th year in a row! Kinda taking it to the wire this year most non pandemic years I would make companion in June once as early as May but due to the Pandemic this year it will take to the end of October to reach it! Thanks again for the great content and fly safe sir!
Monterey in NorCal. Del Monte Aviation offers free parking and no ramp fee for a cirrus, and we have excellent food options either at the airport or within a 15 minute Uber ride. The fuel price is also very competitive for the area
Big Ern great video! I came across your page not too long ago and I will actually be training at a flight school out of Phoenix starting Nov. 1st. It would be an honor to meet you sometime. I love your videos and how you give us an deep inside look into your days out flying and videos like this! Keep up the great content and I can't wait to see a lot more!
@@FlyingwithBigErn yea man they’re not bad! Great salsa as I recall too. Used to take my students down there haha. Pretty sure they do baked goods too like cinnamon rolls and stuff
Man, for those of us with Celiac, listening to all this chatter about great places to eat can be depressing...since, in my travel experience, a LOT of places here in the US are either A) unaware regarding Celiac or B) are aware yet lazy regarding offering alternatives. Argh. Cool video, sir...thanks for sharing.
When I flew to San Antonio and back to Denver both flights 800S’s and I was recording both landings and they were so smooth didn’t jerk my phone around in my hand
You’ve gotta set some rules for this food review thing…like does it have to be reachable on one tank of fuel or can it be multiple stops to get there 😁
Great instructional techniques. Interesting re first time with the side stick. Only side stick I ever flew was A320/A321, I remember first full flight it was very intuitive although it did seem that something was missing (yoke) I also used to find when training pilots in it and swapping left to,right it made no difference…..I just reached for the seat controls wrong side all the time. Keep up the cool videos!
G,day BigErn and Luke from Sydney Australia. Love the Green Hornet: there are some similar TH-cam creators; * Niko's Wing And others flying the SR-22. *No audible stall warning at touchdown? ⛩️
Great video and a shout out to technical assistance and editor Luke. Have to come up with a good name for the food critic series?? As always, safe travels ✈️
Luke with glasses has a resemblance to officer Tackleberry 😀
I really enjoyed this video! Great job explaining to him Ernie & I like how calm you are.

Congratulations! Good luck with the solo, you'll never forget it.
Congrats!
That’s great! Nice work my friend! Keep it up and I’ll see you here one day👍🏽
Catalina, Airport in the sky, Just think of Sedona, but in the Pacific Ocean, A must !
Great rec Steve! I do have to make a trip out there👍🏽
From one Luke to another, appreciate the work you're putting in, adding a little extra sauce to what is easily one of my favorite aviation channels.
Great job by Luke flying the Hornet for the first time. Had an excellent instructor too.

Ahh yes!.. Fly to different places to eat and rate different foodies. Great Idea!
Best part about flying GA👍🏽
Kingman is pretty cool! KHII. Park right next to the door, good food, live band. Pretty quick trip too.
I'm a simple man..I see a new vid from Big Ern I click. Another great video!!
Sure wish I was in the back seat for this flight! Awesome (as usual)!
200 feet is when yawdumper comes on and off
Love your videos
KAVQ down in southern AZ has a nice little diner on the field. Been to it many times, great breakfast and lunch options.
Fabulous work, thanks Luke We just moved from AZ to FL

BigErn! i’m spending a weekend in Phoenix. I plan on flying from somewhere in phoenix to Sedona. all the way from NC for a single flight

Flo's Cafe at Chino Apt. 5 min from Ontario. Great Biscuits & gravy and if you get there for lunch try the Chili burger. Great Channel by the way!
Yuma KNYL at the FBO has $1 pilot meals. That was where we went for all of my IR training

I love Monterey! Have to make a trip out there👌🏽
Great video Ern and Luke! Just did the same flight on MSFS 2020. For now that is all I can do. (rather be with Ern on a real Cirrus!)
KHII has a great restaurant on the field. Lunch and dinner only but good stuff! KHND also has a decent place at the field. Keep up the great videos!
Thanks Rich! I have to check those places out👍🏽
Looking for a BK/LN stop in SoCal, try Hemet / Ryan Airport in Hemet. Restaurant is called "Hanger one" on the airport.

Love the Green Hornet videos. Always look forward to your videos big Ern!!
Glad you like them!
The 2 thumbs down was the bun and lunch at that restaurant you guys went to.
😁
Love the vids man!!
If nothing has changed with COVID, they’ve got some great breakfast burritos down at the Casa Grande airport.
Love me some breakfast burritos! I have to check that out!👍🏽
@@FlyingwithBigErn yea man they’re not bad! Great salsa as I recall too. Used to take my students down there haha. Pretty sure they do baked goods too like cinnamon rolls and stuff
Big Ern Luke has done an awesome job editing your videos. I like some of the touches he puts into your videos to make them your personal content. I

Cool video, sir...thanks for sharing.
When I flew to San Antonio and back to Denver both flights 800S’s and I was recording both landings and they were so smooth didn’t jerk my phone around in my hand
Was that most likely due to excellent throttle use
You’ve gotta set some rules for this food review thing…like does it have to be reachable on one tank of fuel or can it be multiple stops to get there 😁
Ha! I’d love to expand it in the future for sure!😁 But right now within the southwest👍🏽
When I flew for Great Lakes I always enjoyed the airport dinner in Prescott over at the terminal.
I have to make a stop back there. Haven’t been in over 25 years. It was really good back then👍🏽
@@FlyingwithBigErn It was that nice, small town dinner feel.
Great instructional techniques. Interesting re first time with the side stick.

Cool stuff thanks !
Great video once again! Love it!
Come to the Eagles Cafe at KPRC! Current ERAU student!
Great video and a shout out to technical assistance and editor Luke. Have to come up with a good name for the food critic series?? As always, safe travels ✈️
Thanks Frank! Thoughts on a name for the series? Cheers!
@@FlyingwithBigErn As we cook dinner my wife tossed out a few Plane Appetite,
Plane and Palate, Eating with Ern, Hidden Gems 🤗
Great video guys. Are Red Rock Bi plane Tours still flying the Wacos out of Sedona? I flew with them a few years ago.
I've gone to Kingman, the food there is good and it's a neat airport. The Perfect Landing at KAPA is a goto, granted that's Colorado
Sedona is amazingly beautiful…nice mentoring
Awesome!
Hey BigErn enjoy your videos, if your ever in Okla City in an overnight would love to talk flying with you
Ah yea…Cirrus video time!
winslow inw has a nice mexican restaurant on the field. Historic place. Field named after that Charles Lindbergh fellow.
I’ve heard that Gary. Have to check it out! Thanks for the tip!👍🏽
