I live here in NYC, I have become obsessed with your videos. I have many more to watch, saw your Sun and Fun, Bahamas trip, trying watch them in order on your playlists. I knew nothing about flying which makes these videos so amazingly interesting, it looks so difficult to do what you do, that's coming from a person that has to drive through the crazy streets of NYC. It looks stressful to me at times seeing you making those landings in those busy airports, but at the same time it's very relaxing watching you guys on these trips. Keep up the great work you do, stay safe! Your newest fan, Joe Brooklyn.
You were able to find a spot at the counter - I always enjoy watching the grill and the lesson that comes with it. Thanks for all the great videos and your thoughtful demeanor in the pilots seat.
Living the life ! This is what aviation is all about and Kevin and Jamie get it ! Just a really cool family enjoying life and spending time together. Now I’m hungry ! 🇺🇸🛫
That plate looked awesome! Hope it was as good as it looked, got it done in Tallahassee yesterday! 25 months later I AM A PILOT. Thanks for all you encouragement, always look forward to your flights, see you next week.
It was yummy Ken but WAY more important...congrats on getting your license!!!!! Way to go. Now get out there and safely enjoy the freedom you worked hard for. :) You going to Sun N Fun?
Nice to see you with your hair down,--great watching you takeing off, & flying then landing ( im not a pilot, but I do like planes , ... have a trimendous flight. I've watched quite a lot of your videos, & enjoy them.
Always look forward to watching your next video. The weather looked perfect for a breakfast flight and you got to see all the snow Wisconsin got over the last few days. Good to have Jaime back with you to help with the radio traffic and your well behaved son in the back seat looks like he is perfectly content flying with his folks. The video games help though, ha! Thanks for the video and keep them coming. Fly Safe and God Bless.
Love to watch your videos. I have the same airplane as you, a 310Q that I’ve owned 19 years, and it is very informative to compare techniques and view how you deal with ATC situations with your background. Always learning. What caught my attention today is the exchange between you and your lovely wife concerning the call you made to tower letting them know you were ready for takeoff. I am a retired airline pilot and would like to add my 2 cents. I flew with Hughes Air West, Republic and Northwest, retiring about the time of the merger with Delta, about 35 years. I often instructed my F/O, if he/she had not already done it, to call ready when approaching the runway. I’ve never had the opportunity to observe controllers doing their job and I did not assume that with all of their duties they saw us approaching number 1 for takeoff. We almost always had the checklist completed approaching the end and if we could help it, we preferred not to have to stop all that weight just to have to get it moving again. I often also in the desire to maintain schedule, which we were all the time pushed concerning, wanted to keep things flowing. I occasionally had on my jump seat controllers who were there to observe us and to get a sense of how busy we were at different stages of a flight. We in return did not often have the opportunity to do the same and observe controllers. Loved having you on my jump seat. With recips like our 310’s we have to stop the do the check and I think it is very important to advise we are ready when approaching number 1 and ready. With aviation it is important NEVER to assume anything, it will get you killed or someone else killed. When someone assumes, they make an ASS-(out of)-U-(and)-ME. Communication is the key! That’s my story and I’m sticking to it! Look forward to your next video. Hope this was coherent. Chuck
Glad you're enjoying the videos Charles! That's awesome you've had your Q for 19 years...I'm hoping to do the same and would be happy to have this one till my flying days are over. I'm sure I could learn a ton from you! In aviation, one can never or should never stop learning. Jaime is correct with her depiction of tower controllers (especially the non-pilots in the bunch) in that they will say wow...really he called ready with traffic on short final. Like I mention in the video, as a tower controller I always liked knowing if they were ready. That way I could put them in position, extend the downwind of another aircraft to get them out before they turn base or whatever. I don't think you can over-communicate some things like this. My favorite as a busy airliner tower controller was putting one in position with one rolling out in a tight gap and telling them up on the power. When you could see them dancing on the brakes as the preceding guy hit the high speed I knew they got it and they rolled immediately as the take off clearance came out. :) I wish we could still jump seat like before 9/11 but unfortunately that's not really the case anymore. Much can be learned form each other seeing it from the other perspective. I love when pilots come to the TRACON for tours. Unfortunately we are so far form ORD/MDW that it's rare.
LOVE IT!! That’s my home airport, so it’s awesome to see... even more awesome that you made a video of it!! I love the jet room. Eat there often. Give me heads up next time you fly there, will totally buy you breakfast in appreciation for all the awesome vids you do!
Im a aircraft mechanic for fedex. workedover in the corner of the east MSN Ramp for 15 yrs. always had lunch at the jet Room. good bunch of people. thanks for the ride and trip down Memory lane. i enjoy your flights.
I’m a FedEx Airbus captain. Maybe I saw you at the ramp in MSN. But we always have to go to ATW. I’ll keep the Jet Room in mind if I ever stay in Madison.
I do enjoy tagging along with you on your flights, especially the short ones where you leave most of it in. Getting to know your plane well. Even though I fly a single (RV-9A) I find these videos good value for keeping my head in the game when I can't get up in the air myself. Too cold up in the frozen north (Alberta, Canada). Thanks for the videos and boy did your breakfast look good.
Awesome...glad you're enjoying them Claude!! I have never flown in an RV but really hope to one day...they sure are efficient planes. I used to watch videos as well to keep my head in the game and still try to when I can. Spend most of that time now days trying to edit videos to put one out a week. In between work and family time of course. I can't wait for spring and I'm sure you're with me on that. :)
What a wonderful family outing, Kevin. It is such a pleasure to watch you and Jaime, when you take the family to places outside Aurora, just for a little family fun and eating out. It’s really nice to see such a great family bond. I thought it was so cute when Jaime showed your son how to clear his ears after landing, and his reaction when it cleared. Hope all had a really wonderful time. On another note, I was watching the tragedy that happened in Aurora today (2/15/2019), as I watched your flight. Our thoughts and prayers for the Aurora police officers who were shot, as well as their families. Also prayers for others victims and their families of this horrible tragedy. Thanks, again, for an enjoyable video. Keep them coming. As always, Happy Flying, and Safe Landings. God Bless.
Glad you enjoyed it Richard and thanks for the nice comment! It was really cute when she showed him how to clear his ears. :) That shooting was only about 5 miles from our airport but a ways from where we live. Hearts go out to those affected by this.
Jet Room is an awesome place for breakfast! Just made the same trip a few weeks ago myself from KLOT...your vids are a great example of how great GA is!
I agree! Glad you're enjoying the videos. GA in this country is amazing compared to the rest of the world. :) Maybe we'll see you around one of these days or talk to you on the radio if you ever get services from Chicago Tracon. :)
@@310Pilot Perhaps...I use to rent from JA on a regular bases prior to buying a plane (N123HM)...I still fly in/out of Aurora for Class D practice since I'm based out of a non-controlled airport. Keep the vids coming!
Thank you Kevin and Jamie. Truly enjoy your productions. Love VFR flying. Great job. Food looked great, hope you had time to enjoy it. Looking forward to you next video.
Glad you enjoyed it Terry and thank you! We do wish we had more time to enjoy it...we were a bit rushed by the fuel delay. The tailwind on the way back helped out a bit. I'm trying to edit that one now. :)
Another great flight , thanks again K & J & Junior :) Wish we had food outlets at aerodromes here in Aussie. Well at least I got to pull a C310 out of the hangar with the lads this morning but only flew the little C172S I normally take. Cheers from Aussie.
Glad you enjoyed it Paul! There's no food diners at any of the airports down under? It's fun sometimes to just fly somewhere new and grab a bite to eat around here. I will always have a soft place for 172's as I learned to fly in them. :)
@@310Pilot Unfortunately our aviation culture here is not geared to the social aspects such as drop in to an aerodrome for a meal, there are some isolated examples around and the odd aero club will serve a meal. It's rather disappointing how aviation is constricted here and very very expensive, but we press on and fly anyway because we love it :) e.g. for a private hire of a 172 for an hour is $300 (wet). I think there is a ready market for some US FBO companies to explore Australia for opportunities. Cheers for now Paul
I am sitting on the ramp at KLYH watching your video while waiting for passengers to arrive,who called and said they are running late(the advantages of owning your own jet). Going to KTEX for long weekend of skiing. Jamie is so much fun to watch and hear! I trust the that all your family is ok after that shooting.
Sounds like you're going to have a nice weekend if you get to stay around for the skiing! We are all fine. It was about 5 miles from our home airport but a ways away from where we live. Hearts out to those affected.
I am glad to hear that you are all ok. We are still in Telluride,as for skiing there is a long standing unwritten policy among corp.pilots not to engage in risky events such as skiing that may cause injury. Telluride is an a/p that should only be for pilots with mt. flying experience.Even then it is far from a normal approach and landing It is on top of a small mesa, with 12000 ft mts. all round. Alt. 9000ft,runway 6911ft AVL. I made a night RNAV landing.Snowing, visibility less that 1/8 ml runway wet.I would have diverted if I had not been flying the Phenom 300. Great weekend (my wife who a nervous flyer) came along as well. We are leaving in about an hour for home. the plane has been in a hanger all weekend.Temp 3, sky 12000 broken vis 10 mile, wind 360 at 9, runway wet. @@310Pilot
Tip of the hat to Mike, great opening shots! Loved the in-cabin rollout. of the hanger Whoo Hooo! Booze News! Intensions... eat some good food! Fun video to watch. c'mon springtime.
Nice job on the video. Over 50 degrees that is some nice weather. Be awhile before I see those kind of temps up here. Thank you for the work you put into these videos. I look forward to your IFR information as I hope to be starting that stage of my training soon. It is nice to get a controller's view on things as well. Seen as you live in both a pilot's world and a controller's world it is nice to hear what you have to say on things. I know several pilots that don't like talking to controllers very much. They have always been nice and helpful to me, even when I'm making mistakes. Have a great day.
Thank you Mark...glad you enjoyed the video! Good luck on your instrument training. I really enjoy IFR flights at times and the flexibility it gives you as a pilot when the weather requires it. It's a shame that some pilots prefer to avoid ATC...I've always enjoyed the extra set of eyes keeping us safe. :) We will get the IFR flight in where we explain the routing out of busier airspace.
In the late 90s I worked for Carpet Capital Avation. Myself and our mechanic would take his Vtail from DNN to PDK for 100$ hamburgers plus courtesy fuel.. so much fun.
Kevin, now thats MY kind of breakfast man! Loved the shot of your plate of food! The more hashbrowns and eggs the better! Eli is a great name!! If I'd had kids I might of used that name too. I always loved that old 3 Dog Night song "Eli's Coming" and he's definately going to be a self motivating get er done type I think! I could hear him entertaining himself most if the way there. Another beautifully smooth landing!
Great video. Ate at the Jet Room for lunch after AirVenture. Great food. Sat in the same seat you did. It was busy that day...almost arrived too late. They close at 2 p.m. after lunch.
Another great one. Been following you for a while now. Love your videos! Student-pilot here from Killeen, TX. Hello to Jamie too! Keep ‘em coming! Always a pleasure to watch your videos on here.
Awesome...glad you're enjoying the videos Jeff! Good luck on finishing up your PPL soon. We just did a flight down to TX last week. That video will be up whenever I get caught up. :)
@@310Pilot We could hear your young one singing in the background a bit, it was so cute. Keep that family together and safe. BTW, next time you guys go to the bahamas i may have my boat down there and you are welcome to spend some time with on the ocean. Blessings
Fun video all the way around ! But must confess, I replay your landings over and over. The way you float on the ground effect....hold her...hold her...hold......chirp ! Sweet every time.
Yes sir...red over red....pull up! Hope you have a nice weekend as well Alan! That happened about 5 miles east of ARR airport. Hearts out to those affected.
I'm watching You right now Feb.15th. The video it says was posted 4 hours ago. I know it was earlier because I see No snow under You and it's 7 degrees in Madison at this time !!! Glad You got up there before all their Big snow and freezing temps. Hope You got to swing over the city on the way out. The Capital building and the Lakes around the UW campus are very scenic.
I am about a month behind on my editing right now. Given that the plane is in TX for an autopilot upgrade for several weeks, I may get a chance to catch up. I can only get about 1 done a week. I picked it back up from the new heater installation a couple weeks ago and it was -7F ( I think) but I was warm and toasty...finally. :) I was really busy on the departure and didn't' get a chance to look around. Hopefully I can see some of it when I go to edit it tomorrow. Looks like a really neat college town on the lake there.
I really enjoy your videos, the 310 has always been my absolute favorite GA aircraft. The fact that you get to fly one of the prettiest ones I've ever seen with a beautiful and capable co pilot makes you a very lucky guy in my book.
I agree...it was always my dream plane and then I was able to make it happen. :) We are slowly working on modernizing her the way we want and are extremely happy so far. She's gettin the new Genesys STEC 3100 autopilot installed right now and we will clean up the panel a little with that. Really excited about this upgrade! I'm a very lucky man for sure!! Maybe one day when all the internal upgrades are caught up we can get her painted and I can pick a few different options and put it for vote with all the viewers here to decide. :)
@@310Pilot Yeah, I remember you talking about the auto pilot a little while back. That addition will round out a pretty nice avionics package, I'm looking forward to that video. A new paint job would be nice but I think she is pretty the way she is. You are probably too young to remember a tv show years ago called Sky King, I would think someone has brought it to you're attention by now. He flew a 310 he named Song Bird. That's a cool name since next to my Harley it's definitely one of the nicest sounding machines out there. Anyway, good luck with the auto pilot upgrade.
Maaan! You bought back memories of my Air Guard days with the PaANG! When we were transitioning to A10’s, Madison Air Guard was one of our sister units during the transition. An awesome unit who I believe now fly’s 16’s? Anyway, I remember sneaking away several times for Jet Room breakfasts! Ha! Kev, I get all jacked catching your new vids when you upload them and I end up feeling the need to throw down a half dozen eggs and a bunch of bacon for some reason!? Go figure! LOL 😆 Another awesome video buddy! Plz keep them coming!
Awesome...glad you're enjoying them Scott! I just found out that they've been selected to trade in their 16's for new F35's. That should make for some fun breakfast runs to check them out. :)
I am a want a be pilot. I enjoy your videos. It makes me so pumped up of getting my personal pilot training and license. I really like the videos like this one, how you can take your family and plane to an airport restaurant. I don't know of any airport in the Philadelphia area that has a restaurant that you can take your plane to.
I know it's been 1.5 years since you posted this video but I'm still catching up. Thanks for all the effort and exceptional work. Looking forward to your next video :)
Another nice flight guys! Hoping to get a video up soon of us going to 4R9...pretty cool little island off the coast in the Gulf of Mexico. Safe flying!
Glad you enjoyed it Ryan! I've never been to 4R9 but I think my dad flew his R22 in there one time. Looks like a neat place and it's long enough for the 310. Maybe we will check it out one day. :)
Great job, Kevin. I dig the picture in picture during landing. Great touch! Damn you got the landings in that thing nailed. Thanks for the shoutout on the pics, too! Glad you guys liked them. Have a great weekend!
Great video. Loved the look back at the plane. It reminds me of what motorcycle people say, if you dont take a look back at it you bought the wrong one.
Hi you two, love your video today, sure was a busy radio today. Well enjoy your breakfast, have a great weekend, be safe. Skip Russell from Modesto California.
From the sound of all those traffic callouts your "Aerial Gunner" in back must have been busy clearing the sky so that you guys can get through and reach the objective: Breakfast at the Jet Room! Looking forward to the next adventure as always.
Just lookin at those big plates--they sure do look good. Kevin, if I ate what was in your plate ,I would need a power nap before heading back. Glad to know u all are ok, and I must say that is is one very well behaved young man. You just don't see that too often these days---congrats on that!!!
Thanks for the ride. Looked kinda busy on final, but the landing looked "I can work with that" anyway. Jaime's omelet, Eli's (name?) french toast and bacon were obvious, but what-the-heck did you have? It looked scary. ADDED: consider the hour wait for gas training for the Bahamas or Caribbean. Expect to hear a lot of "mon soon come" if you ask "where's my gas". But, yeah, I'd be tense of this, too. :)
Love the shout out to Jaime and you and the 'stuck in the tower' comment! :-) Breakfast looked good. Full English waiting here if you ever get over 'the pond'. Tell Ei that I like his slippers/shoes and ask him what he was watching or playing on the phone. One of my grandchildren is into game Jurassic World, the second is all about tractor simulators, the third is Paw Patrol and the granddaughter is anything Princess!
I agree Tim...always cool when people recognize us and say hey. We had it a couple times on our recent flight down to TX. Breakfast was great and the little ones sure enjoy their phones/iPads. :)
MAN! 1 hour wait for fuel - I'd have been losing my mind, lol. You know how MA is known for it's most patient drivers, right after NY ... 😂 The Booze News! I love that, LOL! I think Eli almost blew your speakers there - he was so excited for departure! 😊 Great stuff as always Kevin! Good to see Jamie ventured out into the frozen tundra, too - gotta love those rare warm fronts this time of year! 😎
Ha ha...I'm glad I have edit ability so I can show the calm side of me after getting over the frustration. :) He was excited for sure. Glad you enjoyed it Smitty...those warmish days are sure few and far this time of year. I can finally see my driveway again. :)
Jamie I must say you guys have some very well-behaved kids, also before you even landed I was going to say go get that boy some french toast and when you took the video in the restaurant I believe that's what he was having. You guys have a safe trip back as usual very nice video.
Glad you enjoyed it Alan! That happened about 5 miles from our home airport but not near our house. We didn't know anyone there. Hearts go out to those affected by this.
Ha ha...ain't that the truth Kyle! And there were a couple twins there doing the same as us this day. No single engine Saturday this week. The food was really good too. :)
Thank you Tom...glad you enjoyed it! I think the line up on the next 4 is: the return from breakfast, back to get the heater installed, first flight with heat, and then our TX trip. :)
Believe me...I was saying that to myself this day. :) I don't usually top off as I'm never sure what the next mission is. This also almost cost me a couple fingers because on the next flight I drop the plane off to get the heater re-installed and planned to be nice and empty as the gas in Burlington is really cheap. Of course it was -7F and windy that morning so I just put 15 in each side just to not lose any fingers and got back in to enjoy my new heater. :) Glad you enjoyed it Paul. We just took the plane down to TX for the new autopilot and I did get all 163 gallons in her for that flight!
@@310Pilot Yes, it's been cold here too, coldest I've been flying in is about -2F a few weeks ago, that was an adventure. The tips of my fingers were numb at the end of the preflight, that with pretty good gloves on. Glad you got the heater fixed and the autopilot sounds cool. I've been spoiled flying with a GFC 700 now, cool stuff. Can't wait to see your new one. Take care.
Hi. Enjoy the vids and appreciate the work you do to post them. Have you ever done a video showing the start up procedure when preparing the 310 for a flight? That would be enjoyable to see. Thanks
Hi, Kevin is Jamie an air traffic controller also? You both are a great team! Shes easy on the eyes also and I'll bet you feel that way also! I sure enjoy flying with you 2. Sure brings back some good memories! Keep flying you 2!
Kevin/Jamie, that looked liked a great breakfast! I enjoyed the flight too! Don :-) I look forward to your IFR lesson you spoke about from a controller POV! Thanks.
My first solo X-Country in 1975 was Schaumburg-Kenosha-Madison-Schaumburg in a Cherokee 140. Madison was my first venture in to an airport that had airline operations. Frankly, I found it a snooze compared to flying in to DuPage.
That sounds like a fun solo cross country Rolland! I think mine was from Athen, GA to Greenville, SC. They had snow on the ground and I had never seen snow from the air before...tripped me out a bit. :) DuPage can get pretty busy sometimes for sure. Madison was pretty busy on our departure. Working on editing it now. We were number 5 or so at the runway and F16's/airliners were coming in to the intersecting/converging runway. :)
Cannot wait for the PDR video when you get to do it. Don't have my instrument rating yet and want to see how that all works. And, can't wait to see the "return to Aurora" video from this flight because we were shooting practice approaches at RFD when you guys were flying back that day, I'm pretty sure. Heard you on the frequency.
Hey your video's are second to none. Love each and every one.... Makes me want to go flying. Hey I fly a Cessna T310R ..... I hear you put the 3100 in your plane. How does it perform? Want to put one in mine. Just wanted to know how you liked yours so far. I am flying with the 400B. Flying good but it will act up again eventually and getting harder and harder to find anybody that knows how to repair them. Keep the Blue Side up......
Kevin, I only watch because of Jamie...lol. Na, just kidding. Love the videos and love how you do your check list procedures the exact same way every time. Basically talking yourself through everything before departure. And Jamie does a great job handling the radio.... I always enjoy the videos, you guys are awesome
Yeah man....love watching you fly. Keep up the great work. Ive seen all of the videos and look forward to many more. I cant believe you don't have more subscribers
Been watching your videos for a while now. Really inspiring. I'm retired Navy and partly because of your videos have decided to persue my private license. Keep sharing, love your stuff....
Congrats on your retirement and thank you for your service! Good luck on your PPL...I'm sure you'll love the freedom of the skies. Glad you found our videos inspiring. :)
@310 Pilot If you guys need a new place for breakfast to try, check out the fuel cafe in Burrows Aviation in Sheboygan (SBM). Good breakfast, lunch, and dinner!
Thank you Dell...glad you enjoyed it and thanks for sticking around with us as we grow the channel! We have some really fun flights planned or the year. :)
Yes. Middleton morey airport ( C29 ) . The diner is called "Hubbard Avenue Diner" It requires taking the courtesy car that they have. Make sure you try the Dessert (pie)
kevin, what kind of mount are you using for your iPad? It looks like a suction type, my iPad is a 9.7" where did you get yours and what is the make and model?
Kevin, I was told at work today( I also work at a big manufacturing plant) that there was a bad shooting in Aurora and I immediately thought of you and Jamie, your kids and just prayed . Five gone..... 5 police wounded.... Thank god I got a new video, you and Jamie are okay( She is so beautiful, do I see highlights in her hair? ) I’m a 10 year veteran of the Navy Seabee’s, just turned 60, excellent shape and I’m ready to deal with this dangerous world we live in. I’m going to watch this video again, you know why, that 310 is awesome, would you consider doing a high speed fly by, very close to the ground coming towards Jamie filming you somewhere, then pull up and slowly bank to the left or right ? I saw a few of these on TH-cam, yours I know would top them ! Great video and 310 !!!!!
Awesome...thank you for the nice comment Dennis! That shooting did happen about 5 miles from our home airport but we don't live near there and don't know anyone that was involved. Hearts go out to those affected by this. Thank you for your service! :)
When it is quiet at JFK planes leaving call ready all the time, at least on the airwaves it doesn't sound like a problem. What they don't like over there is planes checking in with tower after being told to monitor tower by ground control. Or worse confirming the runway crossing instructions already issued by ground. Problem is: when tower does not answer them, the foreign operators will call again :) Just grand!
Yeah, that's tough at a really busy airport. But when a pilot isn't sure about a runway crossing it's important to verify it...even if it chaps the controller. :) I used to work ORD Tower/ground and man the stories I have. :)
Eli's first valsalva! Did you taxi to the pumps for a fill up or wait for the truck to come to the hangar? In the first case I can't imagine how there could have been any delay. One of the best ideas I came away with when I left Illinois was the notion of cold. Every February, there's a day when the temp gets above 50° for the first time since before Christmas. Everyone is outside in shorts and T-shirts, shooting baskets between the snow banks. I vowed as we got to South Florida that I would never be cold again as long as the temp was above 50. It's worked for 21 years.
At ARR, there are no self pumps. It's all trucks there so you are at the mercy of the FBO's. Usually they do great...not sure what was going on this day. Cold is a relative things. After the crazy cold a couple weeks ago it was sunny, no wind and 20 and it felt nice. :) I miss living in FL on these winter days!
@@310Pilot I may have forgotten about your FL time. I knew Jaime spent time there, too. I actually have about 35 years in the state--1956-1973, and since 1999. I did all my flight training at OPF in '66/'67 when it was the busiest airport in the world. The 25 years in Illinois were sort of an aberration.
Nice job as always...but wondering why you don't top off the tanks before putting the plane away? I was always told extra airspace in the tanks promoted water in the fuel. Also, it makes for a quick departure if the fuel truck guy is awol and you're hungry. :)
Glad you enjoyed it Edwin! I don't always top off because it holds 163 gallons and if we take a flight with 4/6 bigger people we may need to have less than full tanks to takeoff under weight. That and with me keeping it in a climate controlled insulated hangar, I'm not worried about water. It is good to keep fuel the rubber aux tanks though for deforming/cracking purposes. I was kicking myself this morning for not having them fueled up for sure. :) She did get fully topped off for our TX trip coming up soon.
I love the kids just chillin in the back seat! I think you guys are great! I'm not a pilot but i love your channel!
Thank you Ben...glad you're enjoying the channel! :)
I live here in NYC, I have become obsessed with your videos. I have many more to watch, saw your Sun and Fun, Bahamas trip, trying watch them in order on your playlists. I knew nothing about flying which makes these videos so amazingly interesting, it looks so difficult to do what you do, that's coming from a person that has to drive through the crazy streets of NYC. It looks stressful to me at times seeing you making those landings in those busy airports, but at the same time it's very relaxing watching you guys on these trips. Keep up the great work you do, stay safe! Your newest fan, Joe Brooklyn.
You guys have a beautiful airplane and a beautiful family! Always look forward to your next video. Thanks!
Awesome...thank you for the compliments Rodger!! :)
You were able to find a spot at the counter - I always enjoy watching the grill and the lesson that comes with it. Thanks for all the great videos and your thoughtful demeanor in the pilots seat.
Thank you Jim...glad you enjoyed it! In this case, the counter had less of a wait and after the fuel debacle...we were in a hurry. :)
Living the life ! This is what aviation is all about and Kevin and Jamie get it ! Just a really cool family enjoying life and spending time together. Now I’m hungry ! 🇺🇸🛫
That plate looked awesome! Hope it was as good as it looked, got it done in Tallahassee yesterday! 25 months later I AM A PILOT. Thanks for all you encouragement, always look forward to your flights, see you next week.
It was yummy Ken but WAY more important...congrats on getting your license!!!!! Way to go. Now get out there and safely enjoy the freedom you worked hard for. :) You going to Sun N Fun?
Nice to see you with your hair down,--great watching you takeing off, & flying then landing ( im not a pilot, but I do like planes , ... have a trimendous flight. I've watched quite a lot of your videos, & enjoy them.
Your son is adorable! You could hear him in the background entertaining himself till landing. Good job parents!!
Thank you!
The wife/co-pilot, the kids, and the plane! Love the Ely's reaction to having his ears clear up.
I live about 10 minutes away from the jet room and I go every chance I get! Blows me away everytime I go! Those omlettes are amazing!!!!
If we lived that close we would be going there all the time as well. Great food and get to see planes buzzing around. :)
Always look forward to watching your next video. The weather looked perfect for a breakfast flight and you got to see all the snow Wisconsin got over the last few days. Good to have Jaime back with you to help with the radio traffic and your well behaved son in the back seat looks like he is perfectly content flying with his folks. The video games help though, ha! Thanks for the video and keep them coming. Fly Safe and God Bless.
Glad you enjoyed it Dave...thanks for the nice comment! I'm a lucky man. :)

I am a retired airline pilot and would like to add my 2 cents. I flew with Hughes Air West, Republic and Northwest, retiring about the time of the merger with Delta, about 35 years. I often instructed my F/O, if he/she had not already done it, to call ready when approaching the runway. I’ve never had the opportunity to observe controllers doing their job and I did not assume that with all of their duties they saw us approaching number 1 for takeoff. We almost always had the checklist completed approaching the end and if we could help it, we preferred not to have to stop all that weight just to have to get it moving again. I often also in the desire to maintain schedule, which we were all the time pushed concerning, wanted to keep things flowing. I occasionally had on my jump seat controllers who were there to observe us and to get a sense of how busy we were at different stages of a flight. We in return did not often have the opportunity to do the same and observe controllers. Loved having you on my jump seat. With recips like our 310’s we have to stop the do the check and I think it is very important to advise we are ready when approaching number 1 and ready. With aviation it is important NEVER to assume anything, it will get you killed or someone else killed. When someone assumes, they make an ASS-(out of)-U-(and)-ME. Communication is the key! That’s my story and I’m sticking to it! Look forward to your next video. Hope this was coherent. Chuck
Glad you're enjoying the videos Charles! That's awesome you've had your Q for 19 years...I'm hoping to do the same and would be happy to have this one till my flying days are over. I'm sure I could learn a ton from you! In aviation, one can never or should never stop learning. Jaime is correct with her depiction of tower controllers (especially the non-pilots in the bunch) in that they will say wow...really he called ready with traffic on short final. Like I mention in the video, as a tower controller I always liked knowing if they were ready. That way I could put them in position, extend the downwind of another aircraft to get them out before they turn base or whatever. I don't think you can over-communicate some things like this. My favorite as a busy airliner tower controller was putting one in position with one rolling out in a tight gap and telling them up on the power. When you could see them dancing on the brakes as the preceding guy hit the high speed I knew they got it and they rolled immediately as the take off clearance came out. :) I wish we could still jump seat like before 9/11 but unfortunately that's not really the case anymore. Much can be learned form each other seeing it from the other perspective. I love when pilots come to the TRACON for tours. Unfortunately we are so far form ORD/MDW that it's rare.
LOVE IT!! That’s my home airport, so it’s awesome to see... even more awesome that you made a video of it!! I love the jet room. Eat there often. Give me heads up next time you fly there, will totally buy you breakfast in appreciation for all the awesome vids you do!
Im a aircraft mechanic for fedex. workedover in the corner of the east MSN Ramp for 15 yrs. always had lunch at the jet Room. good bunch of people. thanks for the ride and trip down Memory lane. i enjoy your flights.
Glad you enjoyed the flight William and happy to take you back down memory lane. :)
I’m a FedEx Airbus captain. Maybe I saw you at the ramp in MSN. But we always have to go to ATW. I’ll keep the Jet Room in mind if I ever stay in Madison.
Forget what ever I was about to do. As soon as I see one of your videos have been uploaded, im watching it! Keep up the work man!
Awesome...thank you Adam!! We have a bunch of fun trips planned for the year and some really cool new avionics to show off. :)
Dammit! You just had to go and show those home style big breakfast plates there at the end. Now I'm hungry as hell! ;)
Ha ha...it sure was good too. :)
I do enjoy tagging along with you on your flights, especially the short ones where you leave most of it in. Getting to know your plane well. Even though I fly a single (RV-9A) I find these videos good value for keeping my head in the game when I can't get up in the air myself. Too cold up in the frozen north (Alberta, Canada). Thanks for the videos and boy did your breakfast look good.
Awesome...glad you're enjoying them Claude!! I have never flown in an RV but really hope to one day...they sure are efficient planes. I used to watch videos as well to keep my head in the game and still try to when I can. Spend most of that time now days trying to edit videos to put one out a week. In between work and family time of course. I can't wait for spring and I'm sure you're with me on that. :)
What a wonderful family outing, Kevin. It is such a pleasure to watch you and Jaime, when you take the family to places outside Aurora, just for a little family fun and eating out. It’s really nice to see such a great family bond. I thought it was so cute when Jaime showed your son how to clear his ears after landing, and his reaction when it cleared. Hope all had a really wonderful time.
On another note, I was watching the tragedy that happened in Aurora today (2/15/2019), as I watched your flight. Our thoughts and prayers for the Aurora police officers who were shot, as well as their families. Also prayers for others victims and their families of this horrible tragedy.
Thanks, again, for an enjoyable video. Keep them coming. As always, Happy Flying, and Safe Landings. God Bless.
Glad you enjoyed it Richard and thanks for the nice comment! It was really cute when she showed him how to clear his ears. :) That shooting was only about 5 miles from our airport but a ways from where we live. Hearts go out to those affected by this.
Jet Room is an awesome place for breakfast! Just made the same trip a few weeks ago myself from KLOT...your vids are a great example of how great GA is!
I agree! Glad you're enjoying the videos. GA in this country is amazing compared to the rest of the world. :) Maybe we'll see you around one of these days or talk to you on the radio if you ever get services from Chicago Tracon. :)
@@310Pilot Perhaps...I use to rent from JA on a regular bases prior to buying a plane (N123HM)...I still fly in/out of Aurora for Class D practice since I'm based out of a non-controlled airport. Keep the vids coming!
Thank you Kevin and Jamie. Truly enjoy your productions. Love VFR flying. Great job. Food looked great, hope you had time to enjoy it. Looking forward to you next video.
Glad you enjoyed it Terry and thank you! We do wish we had more time to enjoy it...we were a bit rushed by the fuel delay. The tailwind on the way back helped out a bit. I'm trying to edit that one now. :)
Sure enjoyed the flight. That food looks so good. Mmmm. Thanks for the video. 👍👍👍❤️
Another great flight , thanks again K & J & Junior :) Wish we had food outlets at aerodromes here in Aussie. Well at least I got to pull a C310 out of the hangar with the lads this morning but only flew the little C172S I normally take. Cheers from Aussie.
Glad you enjoyed it Paul! There's no food diners at any of the airports down under? It's fun sometimes to just fly somewhere new and grab a bite to eat around here. I will always have a soft place for 172's as I learned to fly in them. :)
@@310Pilot Unfortunately our aviation culture here is not geared to the social aspects such as drop in to an aerodrome for a meal, there are some isolated examples around and the odd aero club will serve a meal. It's rather disappointing how aviation is constricted here and very very expensive, but we press on and fly anyway because we love it :) e.g. for a private hire of a 172 for an hour is $300 (wet). I think there is a ready market for some US FBO companies to explore Australia for opportunities. Cheers for now Paul
I am sitting on the ramp at KLYH watching your video while waiting for passengers to arrive,who called and said they are running late(the advantages of owning your own jet). Going to KTEX for long weekend of skiing. Jamie is so much fun to watch and hear! I trust the that all your family is ok after that shooting.
Sounds like you're going to have a nice weekend if you get to stay around for the skiing! We are all fine. It was about 5 miles from our home airport but a ways away from where we live. Hearts out to those affected.
I am glad to hear that you are all ok. We are still in Telluride,as for skiing there is a long standing unwritten policy among corp.pilots not to engage in risky events such as skiing that may cause injury. Telluride is an a/p that should only be for pilots with mt. flying experience.Even then it is far from a normal approach and landing It is on top of a small mesa, with 12000 ft mts. all round. Alt. 9000ft,runway 6911ft AVL. I made a night RNAV landing.Snowing, visibility less that 1/8 ml runway wet.I would have diverted if I had not been flying the Phenom 300. Great weekend (my wife who a nervous flyer) came along as well. We are leaving in about an hour for home. the plane has been in a hanger all weekend.Temp 3, sky 12000 broken vis 10 mile, wind 360 at 9, runway wet. @@310Pilot
You people are wonderful. Happy landings!
Awesome...thank you BobMan!
Tip of the hat to Mike, great opening shots! Loved the in-cabin rollout. of the hanger Whoo Hooo! Booze News! Intensions... eat some good food! Fun video to watch. c'mon springtime.
Glad you enjoyed it Ray and I agree...nice job Mike! I've never had any external action shots before. :) C'mon springtime is right...can't wait!
Nice job on the video. Over 50 degrees that is some nice weather. Be awhile before I see those kind of temps up here. Thank you for the work you put into these videos. I look forward to your IFR information as I hope to be starting that stage of my training soon. It is nice to get a controller's view on things as well. Seen as you live in both a pilot's world and a controller's world it is nice to hear what you have to say on things. I know several pilots that don't like talking to controllers very much. They have always been nice and helpful to me, even when I'm making mistakes. Have a great day.
Thank you Mark...glad you enjoyed the video! Good luck on your instrument training. I really enjoy IFR flights at times and the flexibility it gives you as a pilot when the weather requires it. It's a shame that some pilots prefer to avoid ATC...I've always enjoyed the extra set of eyes keeping us safe. :) We will get the IFR flight in where we explain the routing out of busier airspace.
In the late 90s I worked for Carpet Capital Avation. Myself and our mechanic would take his Vtail from DNN to PDK for 100$ hamburgers plus courtesy fuel.. so much fun.
Another great video. Good to see your family enjoying aviation!
Glad you enjoyed it Ron!
Got hooked on your videos a few weeks ago. Love 'em...Great people, great plane , great destinations,, thanks , keep them coming !
Thank you Lenny....glad you found us and are enjoying it so far! :)
Kevin, now thats MY kind of breakfast man! Loved the shot of your plate of food! The more hashbrowns and eggs the better!
Eli is a great name!! If I'd had kids I might of used that name too. I always loved that old 3 Dog Night song "Eli's Coming" and he's definately going to be a self motivating get er done type I think! I could hear him entertaining himself most if the way there. Another beautifully smooth landing!
Glad you enjoyed it Don...it was yummy! Eli is always good about entertaining himself as we travel. Makes for easy flights. :)
Great video. Ate at the Jet Room for lunch after AirVenture. Great food. Sat in the same seat you did. It was busy that day...almost arrived too late. They close at 2 p.m. after lunch.
Glad you enjoyed it Stephen! That's a great stop on the way back from AirVenture. Are you going again this year? We are planning on it. :)
@@310Pilot yes it is on the calendar for now. I will be driving up the same as last year.
Another great one. Been following you for a while now. Love your videos! Student-pilot here from Killeen, TX. Hello to Jamie too! Keep ‘em coming! Always a pleasure to watch your videos on here.
Awesome...glad you're enjoying the videos Jeff! Good luck on finishing up your PPL soon. We just did a flight down to TX last week. That video will be up whenever I get caught up. :)
Appreciate you replying back. Just saw on the news about the shooting in Aurora. Hope you guys are ok.
The mini me voice in the background made your video even cuter than normal and they were already very cute. Thanks for continuing to share you two.
Ha ha...I'll have to keep you in mind for voice overs. :) Glad you enjoyed it!
@@310Pilot We could hear your young one singing in the background a bit, it was so cute. Keep that family together and safe.
BTW, next time you guys go to the bahamas i may have my boat down there and you are welcome to spend some time with on the ocean. Blessings
Thanks for the trip my friend........always a pleasure to stop what I am doing and ride with ya.
Glad to have you along Jim!
Fun video all the way around ! But must confess, I replay your landings over and over. The way you float on the ground effect....hold her...hold her...hold......chirp ! Sweet every time.
Always great to see your vids and including your family in them!
Thank you Douglas...glad you're enjoying them. :)
Red over white, you're all right. Great job! Have a good weekend.
Wow, tragic situation there. I'll be thinking of and praying for the people of Aurora. God bless.
Yes sir...red over red....pull up! Hope you have a nice weekend as well Alan! That happened about 5 miles east of ARR airport. Hearts out to those affected.
I'm watching You right now Feb.15th. The video it says was posted 4 hours ago. I know it was earlier because I see No snow under You and it's 7 degrees in Madison at this time !!! Glad You got up there before all their Big snow and freezing temps. Hope You got to swing over the city on the way out. The Capital building and the Lakes around the UW campus are very scenic.
I am about a month behind on my editing right now. Given that the plane is in TX for an autopilot upgrade for several weeks, I may get a chance to catch up. I can only get about 1 done a week. I picked it back up from the new heater installation a couple weeks ago and it was -7F ( I think) but I was warm and toasty...finally. :) I was really busy on the departure and didn't' get a chance to look around. Hopefully I can see some of it when I go to edit it tomorrow. Looks like a really neat college town on the lake there.
That food made me hungry, good to see Jamie back in the copilot seat. Nice video.
Glad you enjoyed it James! I was glad to have her back as always. :)
I really enjoy your videos, the 310 has always been my absolute favorite GA aircraft. The fact that you get to fly one of the prettiest ones I've ever seen with a beautiful and capable co pilot makes you a very lucky guy in my book.
I agree...it was always my dream plane and then I was able to make it happen. :) We are slowly working on modernizing her the way we want and are extremely happy so far. She's gettin the new Genesys STEC 3100 autopilot installed right now and we will clean up the panel a little with that. Really excited about this upgrade! I'm a very lucky man for sure!! Maybe one day when all the internal upgrades are caught up we can get her painted and I can pick a few different options and put it for vote with all the viewers here to decide. :)
@@310Pilot Yeah, I remember you talking about the auto pilot a little while back. That addition will round out a pretty nice avionics package, I'm looking forward to that video. A new paint job would be nice but I think she is pretty the way she is. You are probably too young to remember a tv show years ago called Sky King, I would think someone has brought it to you're attention by now. He flew a 310 he named Song Bird. That's a cool name since next to my Harley it's definitely one of the nicest sounding machines out there. Anyway, good luck with the auto pilot upgrade.
While it was before my time, I do know of Sky King. I refer to Jaime as my Penny. :)
@@310Pilot There you go. LOL
Maaan! You bought back memories of my Air Guard days with the PaANG! When we were transitioning to A10’s, Madison Air Guard was one of our sister units during the transition. An awesome unit who I believe now fly’s 16’s? Anyway, I remember sneaking away several times for Jet Room breakfasts! Ha! Kev, I get all jacked catching your new vids when you upload them and I end up feeling the need to throw down a half dozen eggs and a bunch of bacon for some reason!? Go figure! LOL 😆 Another awesome video buddy! Plz keep them coming!
Awesome...glad you're enjoying them Scott! I just found out that they've been selected to trade in their 16's for new F35's. That should make for some fun breakfast runs to check them out. :)
I am a want a be pilot. I enjoy your videos. It makes me so pumped up of getting my personal pilot training and license. I really like the videos like this one, how you can take your family and plane to an airport restaurant. I don't know of any airport in the Philadelphia area that has a restaurant that you can take your plane to.
I know it's been 1.5 years since you posted this video but I'm still catching up. Thanks for all the effort and exceptional work. Looking forward to your next video :)
The Jet Room is the best! I worked the line at Wisconsin Aviation a while ago.
Another nice flight guys! Hoping to get a video up soon of us going to 4R9...pretty cool little island off the coast in the Gulf of Mexico. Safe flying!
Glad you enjoyed it Ryan! I've never been to 4R9 but I think my dad flew his R22 in there one time. Looks like a neat place and it's long enough for the 310. Maybe we will check it out one day. :)
Great job, Kevin. I dig the picture in picture during landing. Great touch! Damn you got the landings in that thing nailed. Thanks for the shoutout on the pics, too! Glad you guys liked them. Have a great weekend!
Glad you liked it Mike and thanks again for the great pictures of our departure! :)
310 Pilot Anytime! Glad you guys like them!
Great video. Loved the look back at the plane. It reminds me of what motorcycle people say, if you dont take a look back at it you bought the wrong one.
Glad you enjoyed it Jack! Never thought about it that way before but it sure makes sense. :)
Excellent video, that breakfast looked awesome. Great way to take the family for breakfast.
We love our food in Wisconsin :)
Thank you Thomas...glad you liked it! Always good to have a reason to get the plane in the air and stay current. :)
Hi you two, love your video today, sure was a busy radio today. Well enjoy your breakfast, have a great weekend, be safe. Skip Russell from Modesto California.
Glad you enjoyed it Skip! All the nice weekend days in the winter around here seem to be busy. Too many bad flying days this time of year.
From the sound of all those traffic callouts your "Aerial Gunner" in back must have been busy clearing the sky so that you guys can get through and reach the objective: Breakfast at the Jet Room! Looking forward to the next adventure as always.
Ha ha...we do love our waist gunners. :) Glad you enjoyed it!
Just lookin at those big plates--they sure do look good. Kevin, if I ate what was in your plate ,I would need a power nap before heading back. Glad to know u all are ok, and I must say that is is one very well behaved young man. You just don't see that too often these days---congrats on that!!!
Thank you Randall! I offset the food coma with several cups of coffee. We are very lucky parents indeed. :)
My first solo was on that runway at MSN. Back then it was RWY 4-22 not 3-21. Thanks for the excellent video.
Glad you enjoyed it and we could take you make to a solo memory! I soloed at AHN in Georgia...haven't been back in a long, long time unfortunately.
Thanks for the ride. Looked kinda busy on final, but the landing looked "I can work with that" anyway. Jaime's omelet, Eli's (name?) french toast and bacon were obvious, but what-the-heck did you have? It looked scary.
ADDED: consider the hour wait for gas training for the Bahamas or Caribbean. Expect to hear a lot of "mon soon come" if you ask "where's my gas". But, yeah, I'd be tense of this, too. :)
You're welcome Richard! I had a skillet of some kind...it was yummy. :)
LOL! His background chatter on approach and landing were so cute! ;)
Yeah it was! :)
Love the shout out to Jaime and you and the 'stuck in the tower' comment! :-) Breakfast looked good. Full English waiting here if you ever get over 'the pond'. Tell Ei that I like his slippers/shoes and ask him what he was watching or playing on the phone. One of my grandchildren is into game Jurassic World, the second is all about tractor simulators, the third is Paw Patrol and the granddaughter is anything Princess!
I agree Tim...always cool when people recognize us and say hey. We had it a couple times on our recent flight down to TX. Breakfast was great and the little ones sure enjoy their phones/iPads. :)
MAN! 1 hour wait for fuel - I'd have been losing my mind, lol. You know how MA is known for it's most patient drivers, right after NY ... 😂
The Booze News! I love that, LOL!
I think Eli almost blew your speakers there - he was so excited for departure! 😊
Great stuff as always Kevin! Good to see Jamie ventured out into the frozen tundra, too - gotta love those rare warm fronts this time of year! 😎
Ha ha...I'm glad I have edit ability so I can show the calm side of me after getting over the frustration. :) He was excited for sure. Glad you enjoyed it Smitty...those warmish days are sure few and far this time of year. I can finally see my driveway again. :)
Jamie I must say you guys have some very well-behaved kids, also before you even landed I was going to say go get that boy some french toast and when you took the video in the restaurant I believe that's what he was having. You guys have a safe trip back as usual very nice video.
Thank you Robert! We for sure adore them. :)
Thanks for the ride, Kevin. You guys have a great week.
You're welcome Karl...thank you!
I love watching how smooth you two are together. Keep up the great work...
Thank you Steven...glad you're enjoying it. Love having my life/plane co-pilot with me! :)
I like all your videos. Just been busy. Fly safe.
Good flight, nice landing. Going to have to put the Jet Room on my list!
Glad you enjoyed it! It would be a nice easy flight in you Trinidad! :)
Another great video. Heard of the nonsense shooting at one of your factories, Hope everyone you know is OK. Keep up the great videos.
Glad you enjoyed it Alan! That happened about 5 miles from our home airport but not near our house. We didn't know anyone there. Hearts go out to those affected by this.
If you're ever in NE Wisconsin and need fuel, the cheapest 100 LL is at KCLI. :) They also have Jet A although that's not germane here.
Gotta love the new take on the $100 hamburger...the $200 breakfast with a Twin!! Great fun, what a cool restaurant!
Ha ha...ain't that the truth Kyle! And there were a couple twins there doing the same as us this day. No single engine Saturday this week. The food was really good too. :)
Great video, thanks for taking us along. I was in Madison in 2011 and missed the Jet Room. Looks like a cool place to eat.
Glad you enjoyed it V! If you ever end back up in the area, I would recommend it for the $100 breakfast. :)
Another great flight. Hope there's a return flight. Getting addicted to these.
Thank you Tom...glad you enjoyed it! I think the line up on the next 4 is: the return from breakfast, back to get the heater installed, first flight with heat, and then our TX trip. :)
Thanks for the video. I learned to fly many years ago at Wisconsin Aviation and have had a few breakfasts in the Jet Room.
You're welcome Dennis...glad to take you back. :)
Gotta gas up when you land Kevin. Great video, thanks for sharing! Paul
Believe me...I was saying that to myself this day. :) I don't usually top off as I'm never sure what the next mission is. This also almost cost me a couple fingers because on the next flight I drop the plane off to get the heater re-installed and planned to be nice and empty as the gas in Burlington is really cheap. Of course it was -7F and windy that morning so I just put 15 in each side just to not lose any fingers and got back in to enjoy my new heater. :) Glad you enjoyed it Paul. We just took the plane down to TX for the new autopilot and I did get all 163 gallons in her for that flight!
@@310Pilot Yes, it's been cold here too, coldest I've been flying in is about -2F a few weeks ago, that was an adventure. The tips of my fingers were numb at the end of the preflight, that with pretty good gloves on. Glad you got the heater fixed and the autopilot sounds cool. I've been spoiled flying with a GFC 700 now, cool stuff. Can't wait to see your new one. Take care.
Hi. Enjoy the vids and appreciate the work you do to post them. Have you ever done a video showing the start up procedure when preparing the 310 for a flight? That would be enjoyable to see. Thanks
Hi, Kevin is Jamie an air traffic controller also? You both are a great team! Shes easy on the eyes also and I'll bet you feel that way also! I sure enjoy flying with you 2. Sure brings back some good memories! Keep flying you 2!
Yes she is a controller. They have a video where he is flying and she is on the other end. Check it out. I think the title is “I LOVE my controller”
Kevin/Jamie, that looked liked a great breakfast! I enjoyed the flight too! Don :-) I look forward to your IFR lesson you spoke about from a controller POV! Thanks.
It was yummy Don. Glad you enjoyed it! We will get that in one of these days. :)
Woo Hoo, Its Friday!!Time to tune in for the Jamie and Kevin Show. Thank for the ride guys!!
Ha ha...thanks Alan...glad you enjoyed it! :)
My first solo X-Country in 1975 was Schaumburg-Kenosha-Madison-Schaumburg in a Cherokee 140. Madison was my first venture in to an airport that had airline operations. Frankly, I found it a snooze compared to flying in to DuPage.
That sounds like a fun solo cross country Rolland! I think mine was from Athen, GA to Greenville, SC. They had snow on the ground and I had never seen snow from the air before...tripped me out a bit. :) DuPage can get pretty busy sometimes for sure. Madison was pretty busy on our departure. Working on editing it now. We were number 5 or so at the runway and F16's/airliners were coming in to the intersecting/converging runway. :)
Cannot wait for the PDR video when you get to do it. Don't have my instrument rating yet and want to see how that all works.
And, can't wait to see the "return to Aurora" video from this flight because we were shooting practice approaches at RFD when you guys were flying back that day, I'm pretty sure. Heard you on the frequency.
We will get to it one of these days Alan. :) I'll make sure not to edit out the part around RFD if I hear you on there. :)
Hey your video's are second to none. Love each and every one.... Makes me want to go flying. Hey I fly a Cessna T310R ..... I hear you put the 3100 in your plane. How does it perform? Want to put one in mine. Just wanted to know how you liked yours so far. I am flying with the 400B. Flying good but it will act up again eventually and getting harder and harder to find anybody that knows how to repair them. Keep the Blue Side up......
Big ol'breakfest! A+!!! Hope the tail wild helped your timing. 👍👍👍
It sure was yummy! The tailwinds coming back were nice. I'm editing that flight now and I think I saw about 214 knots. Like a jet...almost. :)
Kevin, I only watch because of Jamie...lol. Na, just kidding. Love the videos and love how you do your check list procedures the exact same way every time. Basically talking yourself through everything before departure. And Jamie does a great job handling the radio.... I always enjoy the videos, you guys are awesome
Glad you're enjoying the channel Bobby! Thank you for the nice compliment. :)
Yeah man....love watching you fly. Keep up the great work. Ive seen all of the videos and look forward to many more. I cant believe you don't have more subscribers
Thanks for sharing another pleasant flight. Glad you got breakfast! Take care.
Glad you enjoyed it Mike! :)
Very sweet soft landing. One of the best I've seen!
Thank you! I've been on a really good landing streak lately. Hopefully I can keep that up. :)
Been watching your videos for a while now. Really inspiring. I'm retired Navy and partly because of your videos have decided to persue my private license. Keep sharing, love your stuff....
Congrats on your retirement and thank you for your service! Good luck on your PPL...I'm sure you'll love the freedom of the skies. Glad you found our videos inspiring. :)
@310 Pilot If you guys need a new place for breakfast to try, check out the fuel cafe in Burrows Aviation in Sheboygan (SBM). Good breakfast, lunch, and dinner!
Nice breakfast flight. Keep’em coming,
Glad you enjoyed it Jay...lot's of fun flights planned for the year. :)
Another excellent / entertaining video. Eli is growing like a weed!! Beautiful family and most enjoyable videos. From viewer # 1,400.
Thank you Dell...glad you enjoyed it and thanks for sticking around with us as we grow the channel! We have some really fun flights planned or the year. :)
Nice :-) hopefully the wait wasn't too long at the jet room. I flew into middleton in early February. They have the best diner ive ever eaten at!
Assume you are talking about Middleton-Morey with the goal posts? If so, appreciate if you would tell us the name of the diner.
Thanks for the heads up...we will look into that! It wasn't too bad. We did sit at the bar to decrease the wait time. :)
Yes. Middleton morey airport ( C29 ) . The diner is called "Hubbard Avenue Diner" It requires taking the courtesy car that they have. Make sure you try the Dessert (pie)
@@matthewmoglia8898 Thanks for info! Took a look at their website, and it looks pretty good! Have to check it out.
The Jet Room reminds me of the Airport Diner located at The Hanger Hotel in Gillespie County Airport, Fredericksburg, TX.
Never been down that way Wendell. I'll have to keep it in mind if we're ever in the area. :)
Love the Jet Room. Good to see MSN represented.
Such amazing food there!! Was just there the other week and had the Scramble!!! Love the videos!
Glad you're enjoying the videos! That was our first time and we agree the food is great. We will be back again. :)
kevin, what kind of mount are you using for your iPad? It looks like a suction type, my iPad is a 9.7" where did you get yours and what is the make and model?
Nothing like flying somewhere just to eat. Enjoyed it.
Always good to have a reason to get the plane in the air and the pilot stay proficient. :)
Always fun to watch.
Love your videos. Thank you for sharing.
Great video once again, looks like a great breakfast too!
Thank you James...glad you enjoyed it! Breakfast was yummy. :)
I think Jamie was the one that gave me a great cloud surfing altitude south of ohare airspace yesterday afternoon. If it was her, thanks!
May very well have been her that day. :) Glad you had a fun flight Bob!
Kevin, I was told at work today( I also work at a big manufacturing plant) that there was a bad shooting in Aurora and I immediately thought of you and Jamie, your kids and just prayed . Five gone..... 5 police wounded.... Thank god I got a new video, you and Jamie are okay( She is so beautiful, do I see highlights in her hair? ) I’m a 10 year veteran of the Navy Seabee’s, just turned 60, excellent shape and I’m ready to deal with this dangerous world we live in. I’m going to watch this video again, you know why, that 310 is awesome, would you consider doing a high speed fly by, very close to the ground coming towards Jamie filming you somewhere, then pull up and slowly bank to the left or right ? I saw a few of these on TH-cam, yours I know would top them ! Great video and 310 !!!!!
Awesome...thank you for the nice comment Dennis! That shooting did happen about 5 miles from our home airport but we don't live near there and don't know anyone that was involved. Hearts go out to those affected by this. Thank you for your service! :)
Awesome flight you only had one childers with ya. Looks to be a great place to get grub.
Glad you enjoyed it Keith! Yeah, it's hard to have all the kids all the time. Other family members/school/activities/friends need love too. :)
When it is quiet at JFK planes leaving call ready all the time, at least on the airwaves it doesn't sound like a problem. What they don't like over there is planes checking in with tower after being told to monitor tower by ground control. Or worse confirming the runway crossing instructions already issued by ground.
Problem is: when tower does not answer them, the foreign operators will call again :)
Just grand!
Yeah, that's tough at a really busy airport. But when a pilot isn't sure about a runway crossing it's important to verify it...even if it chaps the controller. :) I used to work ORD Tower/ground and man the stories I have. :)
Eli's first valsalva!
Did you taxi to the pumps for a fill up or wait for the truck to come to the hangar? In the first case I can't imagine how there could have been any delay.
One of the best ideas I came away with when I left Illinois was the notion of cold. Every February, there's a day when the temp gets above 50° for the first time since before Christmas. Everyone is outside in shorts and T-shirts, shooting baskets between the snow banks. I vowed as we got to South Florida that I would never be cold again as long as the temp was above 50. It's worked for 21 years.
At ARR, there are no self pumps. It's all trucks there so you are at the mercy of the FBO's. Usually they do great...not sure what was going on this day.
Cold is a relative things. After the crazy cold a couple weeks ago it was sunny, no wind and 20 and it felt nice. :) I miss living in FL on these winter days!
@@310Pilot I may have forgotten about your FL time. I knew Jaime spent time there, too. I actually have about 35 years in the state--1956-1973, and since 1999. I did all my flight training at OPF in '66/'67 when it was the busiest airport in the world. The 25 years in Illinois were sort of an aberration.
Nice job as always...but wondering why you don't top off the tanks before putting the plane away? I was always told extra airspace in the tanks promoted water in the fuel. Also, it makes for a quick departure if the fuel truck guy is awol and you're hungry. :)
Glad you enjoyed it Edwin! I don't always top off because it holds 163 gallons and if we take a flight with 4/6 bigger people we may need to have less than full tanks to takeoff under weight. That and with me keeping it in a climate controlled insulated hangar, I'm not worried about water. It is good to keep fuel the rubber aux tanks though for deforming/cracking purposes. I was kicking myself this morning for not having them fueled up for sure. :) She did get fully topped off for our TX trip coming up soon.
Jaime is good on the radio! Love it.
I agree Randy....obviously. :)
I just subscribed to your channel, I'm not a pilot but I really like you guys and the trips you make. be careful.
