Another wonderful video to give us a look into your flying world. Really appreciate the time and effort taken to make these available to us. Always watching for the next video. Thanks Capt.
Nice, video Jim. I do a lot of flying in a citation II jet on my computer tho. I proly have logged around 1000 hours of flight simulator time in the plane fun jet to fly. I'm sure it's fun to fly in the real world too.
Olen looks so young (I'm just gettin' old)...fellow co-worker? Great vid, as always! You have such a calm, gentle nature about you...have you thought about being a flight instructor?
Thanks. Olen is older than he looks. He and I occasionally work together and he flies a CJ2 for another company. I worked full time a s flight Instructor for more than four years.
A little rushed for my taste. I'd have liked to watch takeoffs and more of the landings w/o the jerky cuts. You are a very pleasant person & Olen seems cool. Why can't you drop the name of the "famous actor?"
David just got a GoPro Karma drone with the GoPro 5 camera yesterday. This thing is incredibly easy to fly. This is his very first time flying a drone. th-cam.com/video/w5QZIPGDIgM/w-d-xo.html
I loved the story about the "famous person" - I can just envision that encounter. :) I can just see the look on your face when you stopped at the FBO, and saw that there was NO-ONE there! :) It was an "oh shit" moment, for sure. Thanks again for all of these wonderful videos. I really like riding along with you guys.
It wasn't so bad. The paperwork they had faxed us said Allegheny County so we weren't in trouble but it was an inconvenience for him and the people he was meeting.
Olen doesn't look like he reached puberty yet and he is already flying private jets?. Lucky kid and yes i am jealous. GO OLEN, FLY SAFE, NO DONUTS OR DRIFTING ON THE TAXI WAY OR IN THE AIR.
It's not always possible for me to do that. When I can, I do. This aircraft has a built in noise attenuating system for the headsets and intercom and is placarded against plugging into the headphone jack when it's in use.
Very interesting. I'm working on my private out of the Columbia area finally going to get it done I'm one of those guys that has started and stopped several times. Probably going to need to do a cross-country come in the spirit maybe I'll get lucky and get to meet you. Fly safe
*Rain-X De-Icer® Windshield Washer Fluid is the bomb!* *It's so slippery that nothing stick to the windshield...haha!* *Now back to the job at hand, watching the flying ;-)* *The first flight was so smooth that we were so giddy we began running in circles, being silly!* *We love watching these vlogs!* *Another fantastic vlog, much appreciated!*
Hopefully on the M2 they fixed this, but, on the C560U, the rain doors are useless, and the alcohol nozzles get the bottom 1/3 or less of the window. Also kind of silly. Lol. Nice to see Rw16 into PWK. I live 40 minutes south of there. Hawthorne has good people. Next time you go in there, say hi to Greg, he's a CSR, and one of my former students. 👍
Hi Cap' Nice vid! So, when you guys passed underneath that other flight @11:48, did your proximity warning come on and tell you its location or say alert..?
I would like to know more about the various jets and why a particular one is chosen for a mission. Also it would be interesting to know age, specs etc. Man Captain that diet of yours is the most dangerous thing you do in your career!
That was a pull back with a difference! One heck of an early start - 4am, ouch - and, a pretty busy schedule all told. Great story re the wrong airport - possibly some folks think Pittsburgh is Pittsburgh and forget about the Allegheny! Another good one Jim :)
How do you determine who flies left seat and right seat? Is it a seniority thing or what? You are a captain so do you get paid less when you fly right seat?
I decide who flies. Normally I trade legs. Sometimes you'll see the same person fly all the legs and I usually do that to maintain that persons currency.
I have a Samsung Galaxy s6. All of the takeoff and landing video is with a GoPro 4 with a suction cup attachment. All the other clips are with the Samsung.
Can confirm, those chairs in the AGC lounge are SUPER comfy. When I worked for a banner tower, we finished for the day, as a line of summer storms was pushing through Ohio, so we opted for the massaging chairs and some movies. The others passed out!
Hi Jim. Still in my 50's. Is there a shortage of corporate pilots? And with a lot of experience but absent from the cockpit for 8 years, do you think I'd have difficulty getting a job?
There's a much larger group going out, older High time experienced pilots than is comming in younger low time, low experience pilots. There should be some opportunities.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I had to retire from flying due to medical reasons, but your days remind me of my old days. Started flying when I was 15 and lost my med ticket last year at 70. Your videos are very enjoyable and I love the stories also!
Another great video! Hein Capt, please, can you make a video, someday, showing how you plan your flight, like...weather, route...and how you fill a flight plan?..Cheers from Brazil!!!
Hey Bossa. Thanks for asking. I'm working on a video right now and hope to have it up tomorrow. Yesterday i was working on a virtual reality collaboration th-cam.com/video/gf4HRChsljI/w-d-xo.html
Cool!, Yes sims are very advanced today... However, there's still a lot missing; ATC for one, giving you all the info, and as you noted you can't use your hands to operate the console knobs and switches... :)
Hay I got it. Buy me a couple railroad tankers of 100LL 8gph I could stay up a long long time. Bet you are glad you don`t pay the fuel bill on the Citation . No pay check for Jim . ha ha
I certainly hope you at least bought your wife dinner after waiting all that time. Funny PIT story. We just took off out of EWR heading to LAX in the BAC 1-11 and about fifteen minutes into the flight, the flight attendant comes to the cockpit wigging out. Caterer forgot lemons. No. Big deal you say, HA! It was!! I call ahead to the FBO at PIT and have twenty lemons brought out to the plane as soon as we landed. We made up a story about why we needed to land, boss believed it, fool. Quick fuel calculation and we were still good on fuel, didn't even shut both engines down. Threw the guy forty bucks and off we went. Boss was none the wiser, at least he never said anything. Another successful flight. Ahh, the fun times of corporate flying. That one never gets old.
You made me laugh. I used to fly to Teterboro in GIIB once a week and we would have $700 of catering on board for potential clients.Steak, lobster and shrimp. Most of the time it was dinner for the Line guys back in St. Louis. But, about once a month the Boss would have us pickup Crystal burgers on the way to the airport. We could miss the lobster but, that $10 Crystal order better be on the airplane.
Very nice video, Captain. Liked the "famous person story." In my time, I've had the opportunity to meet some famous folks, including some USN admirals, while I served as an enlisted weather forecaster. It's been my experience that the famous or "big" folks are usually very nice. But, the people surrounding them, no so much.
Since you guys are taking on passengers sometimes, even the "Famous" guy, how come no handsome Pilot Uniforms? And maybe when your talking things like ILS, or other Aviation talk, could you maybe explain what that is? I think it is "Instrument Landing Search"? Probably wrong, but a guess? Thanks.
Thanks so much for these vlogs. Very informative and entertaining, and I look forward to every installment. Was it difficult to get your employer to permit you to do them? Sure glad for all your loyal viewers that they permit you to share your experiences. RICK IN OHIO
Hi Richard. They knew my hobby was making videos. Occasionally I would take a clip with my phone or gopro and make a short video. It was very unobtrusive. But, I think everyone just assumed they were like the millions of other videos on TH-cam. More like clips of landings or bad home movies. And for years they were. I even had two different chief pilots hold my phone and take video. But, no one watched my videos. I literally had to force people to watch.( I apologise to all the people I did that to).. My flying videos cover a period of five different companies and more than a dozen different types of aircraft. I didn't just decide to do vlogs, what happened is that my editing improved over the years and I just changed how I titled the videos. They've evolved from video clips to short films. It wasn't till last year when one of the people I fly, saw one of my videos and started binge watching that, any one else noticed.
Watching the artificial horizon on the glass cockpit on your descent into Executive I was reminded how important it is, to be able to rely on those instruments if even if only as a private VFR pilot. I wonder if it would make sense to teach new students one lesson in "if you are suddenly caught in a tough situation (wx, dusk, etc.) and you are unsure of where the horizon is, how to trust in that artificial horizon to keep you from losing situational awareness." What do you think?
Great video. You are so gifted at just showing what it means to be a charter pilot. Simple...not glamorizing it or anything "Fake." I can tell you really enjoy what you do. No matter what seat you are flying, you are a true professional and I always enjoy your taking us along!
Nice videos. Please keep them coming. How about a public relations school to send both United CEO and the White House press secretary to learn how to keep their jobs.
Good evening Jim. Interesting story. Funny how things happen sometimes. The weather has been nice here today in the Chicago area. Hope you and your family have a nice Easter. Talk soon.
Been enjoying your videos for a few weeks now! Can't thank you enough - you're delightfully pleasant and you keep some of us who are former pilots very entertained! (is there such a thing as a "former" pilot?!)
I'm not trying to narrow myself down here, but I am one of the people that inspects the radome for transmissivity. No worries on repeating yourself. We check the paint so if you get zapped at altitude, the aircraft will handle it. I love your video's.
Love the videos, Jim. A contender for my favorite aviation channel. steveo1kinevo better watch out! Really cool to see the pilots behind airplane fractional ownership. What other channels do you recommend?
Nice calm presentation Capt, great views and very interesting for me sitting here in Dunedin, New Zealand. I might have to avoid that take away food though! Keep up the walking!
You remind me of one of my favorite pilots " Mr Bob Hoover". He and you seem to have the same temperament. I am a new subscriber to your channel I'm glad to have found.
Thank-you for the video Captain, really like it when you explain what things are on the plane, I would have never guessed those were lighting strips....take care, fly safe.
What a sweet looking airplane . Fancy looking golf cart used to pull the jet out of the hangar .
What does ILS minimums mean please ?
The minimum altitude you would descend to on an ILS approach with out seeing the runway.
Another wonderful video to give us a look into your flying world. Really appreciate the time and effort taken to make these available to us. Always watching for the next video. Thanks Capt.
Thanks Gregg.
A very interesting and entertaining video. Nice to know what things are and how they work. Olen looks about the same age as my son 24
Thanks Paul.
Nice, video Jim. I do a lot of flying in a citation II jet on my computer tho. I proly have logged around 1000 hours of flight simulator time in the plane fun jet to fly. I'm sure it's fun to fly in the real world too.
I think they're both a lot of fun.
sweet, thanks for the reply. happy easter looking forward to your next video.
... Every time I watch your Vlogs, I feel like I'm taking a refresher course. Always informative. Thanks for posting
Thanks Eric.
7:03 THATS CRAZY , i flew that red cessna 152 747KA and i did my first solo in the brown on white 152 next to it! small world
And aviation is even smaller.
Tanks . . . very cool.
Thanks Rachel.
Olen looks so young (I'm just gettin' old)...fellow co-worker?
Great vid, as always!
You have such a calm, gentle nature about you...have you thought about being a flight instructor?
Thanks. Olen is older than he looks. He and I occasionally work together and he flies a CJ2 for another company. I worked full time a s flight Instructor for more than four years.
He works out of the same hanger we do.
Can you do a startup video because I never saw how to startup a private jet
while telling that story i kept thinking about a certain famous actor landing on a taxiway
I'm surprised He's not doing public service announcements for the FAA now.
A little rushed for my taste.
I'd have liked to watch takeoffs and more of the landings w/o the jerky cuts.
You are a very pleasant person & Olen seems cool.
Why can't you drop the name of the "famous actor?"
thanks. Olen is great to fly with. A big reason people buy a personal jet is privacy and I have to respect that.
I'm sure I'm not the first to notice this guy looks like Chesley Sullenberger
David just got a GoPro Karma drone with the GoPro 5 camera yesterday. This thing is incredibly easy to fly. This is his very first time flying a drone. th-cam.com/video/w5QZIPGDIgM/w-d-xo.html
I loved the story about the "famous person" - I can just envision that encounter. :)
I can just see the look on your face when you stopped at the FBO, and saw that there was NO-ONE there! :) It was an "oh shit" moment, for sure. Thanks again for all of these wonderful videos. I really like riding along with you guys.
It wasn't so bad. The paperwork they had faxed us said Allegheny County so we weren't in trouble but it was an inconvenience for him and the people he was meeting.
Michael Donavon the lesson from story time: ALWAYS DOUBLE CHECK WHERE YOU'RE GOING!
Olen doesn't look like he reached puberty yet and he is already flying private jets?. Lucky kid and yes i am jealous. GO OLEN, FLY SAFE, NO DONUTS OR DRIFTING ON THE TAXI WAY OR IN THE AIR.
I have one question. Did the coffee make the trip and not fall over???
I got it.
Great video! Have you considered recording the cockpit audio?
It's not always possible for me to do that. When I can, I do. This aircraft has a built in noise attenuating system for the headsets and intercom and is placarded against plugging into the headphone jack when it's in use.
Very interesting. I'm working on my private out of the Columbia area finally going to get it done I'm one of those guys that has started and stopped several times. Probably going to need to do a cross-country come in the spirit maybe I'll get lucky and get to meet you. Fly safe
No I would not like see more of these in the future. We just see mostly you and hardly ant of the plane.
Bonus point for referencing Palwaukee, took my first few lessons there.
I still want to call it the Palwaukee airport.
me too. I grew up about one mile from that airport and remember watching the planes from my backyard.
Took my oral and practicals for my A&P at Allegheny County airport. I love the area.
*Rain-X De-Icer® Windshield Washer Fluid is the bomb!* *It's so slippery that nothing stick to the windshield...haha!*
*Now back to the job at hand, watching the flying ;-)* *The first flight was so smooth that we were so giddy we began running in circles, being silly!* *We love watching these vlogs!* *Another fantastic vlog, much appreciated!*
Thanks and have a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year
Hopefully on the M2 they fixed this, but, on the C560U, the rain doors are useless, and the alcohol nozzles get the bottom 1/3 or less of the window. Also kind of silly. Lol.
Nice to see Rw16 into PWK. I live 40 minutes south of there. Hawthorne has good people. Next time you go in there, say hi to Greg, he's a CSR, and one of my former students. 👍
Hi planes. I had a little more commentary on the rain doors but, decided to edit it out.
Hi Cap' Nice vid! So, when you guys passed underneath that other flight @11:48, did your proximity warning come on and tell you its location or say alert..?
No, but we could see it on our TCAS and ATC told us where he was.
If you're ever flying single pilot and want to replace those weight bags with a private pilot, let me know! I could be at SUS in 30 mins ;)
Thanks for the offer Mike. Moving those bags around is kind of a pain.
Awesome videos! Like and sub from me. I'm trying to produce some good flight videos myself - thanks for the inspiration!
thanks Ollie.
I would like to know more about the various jets and why a particular one is chosen for a mission. Also it would be interesting to know age, specs etc. Man Captain that diet of yours is the most dangerous thing you do in your career!
I know. I think it's an occupational hazard.
Would like to see more of the start up ans shut down with audio
... I realized your approach speed is much lower than Olens' ;-).., she sure is a docile bird
It's a very nice airplane to fly.
That was a pull back with a difference!
One heck of an early start - 4am, ouch - and, a pretty busy schedule all told.
Great story re the wrong airport - possibly some folks think Pittsburgh is Pittsburgh and forget about the Allegheny!
Another good one Jim :)
thanks Chris. All the paper work we had said Allegheny County, fortunately we were close to where he needed to be.
Great video as always capt.
thanks Cole.
How do you determine who flies left seat and right seat? Is it a seniority thing or what? You are a captain so do you get paid less when you fly right seat?
I decide who flies. Normally I trade legs. Sometimes you'll see the same person fly all the legs and I usually do that to maintain that persons currency.
Captain Moonbeam, you're overdue for another video release. Your fans require a new video.
I've got one uploading right now and hope to have it live within a couple of hours.
Cap, wht h app do you use on the minute 1:13 to check the weather, does it work for central america? Safe flights
"My Radar" I don't know if it'll work there or not
Love your videos I wonder if we can get some ATC and in cockpit conversation just a thought. Safe travels.
Thanks Michael. When It's and option I do it But, can't always.
Thanks
Very nice, thanks! What smartphone did you use to record the video? The video is super nice.
I have a Samsung Galaxy s6. All of the takeoff and landing video is with a GoPro 4 with a suction cup attachment. All the other clips are with the Samsung.
Can confirm, those chairs in the AGC lounge are SUPER comfy. When I worked for a banner tower, we finished for the day, as a line of summer storms was pushing through Ohio, so we opted for the massaging chairs and some movies. The others passed out!
always learn something JIm, thanks... Put some fuel in and waive the ramp fee.
Sometimes that's the cheapest way to go.
If you ever come out to KTRI please notify me as that is my home airport and would love to spot you plane
Thanks.
Is it difficult getting used to flying thru the clouds and not being able to see where you're going?
No. You get used to it.
Hehehe, yes, our Chicago and weather here can be just crazy with two airports close to each other....Happy Easter to you....Fly safe always...
happy Easter Marcus.
Thanks....
Your Videos just keep getting better. Clicked a Like, as usual.
thanks Scotty/
When you landed on 34 at PWK you flew over my parent's house.
Cool.
Your check from Quick-Trip is in the mail. Great videos!
LOL. That'll be the day I retire. But seriously, all I want is a lifetime supply of chicken biscuit breakfast sandwiches.
As Always great video . Thanks ☀️👨🏼✈️🛩
Thanks Dennis.
I hope Cessna is sponsoring you because your a great salesman for the M2.
I think I've sold more Mustangs than M2's. I get lots of questions on that one from prospective buyers.
Hi Jim. Still in my 50's. Is there a shortage of corporate pilots? And with a lot of experience but absent from the cockpit for 8 years, do you think I'd have difficulty getting a job?
There's a much larger group going out, older High time experienced pilots than is comming in younger low time, low experience pilots. There should be some opportunities.
captmoonbeam Thx.
You need some White Castle yum yum.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I had to retire from flying due to medical reasons, but your days remind me of my old days. Started flying when I was 15 and lost my med ticket last year at 70. Your videos are very enjoyable and I love the stories also!
I love QT breakfast sandwiches QT period. Miss it
One of my favorites.
Another great video! Hein Capt, please, can you make a video, someday, showing how you plan your flight, like...weather, route...and how you fill a flight plan?..Cheers from Brazil!!!
Thanks Vini. I think I should.
Hey Jim!, Where you've been? Are you grounded..? Are you sick? Give us a heads up, please... :)
Hey Bossa. Thanks for asking. I'm working on a video right now and hope to have it up tomorrow. Yesterday i was working on a virtual reality collaboration th-cam.com/video/gf4HRChsljI/w-d-xo.html
Cool!, Yes sims are very advanced today... However, there's still a lot missing; ATC for one, giving you all the info, and as you noted you can't use your hands to operate the console knobs and switches... :)
Absolutely love your videos! I've always wanted to try out a citation. I've recently started a flying channel, please check it out!
What's bummer that flight was changed out of Pittsburgh. I live about an hour northwest of Pittsburgh! :(
Love the new format with the videos. Blue sky's
Thanks Joseph and fly safe.
Enjoyed the day........I'm a little tired, as well!
Get some rest, you deserve it.
Another fun video to watch. Keep them coming Jim. Makes me want to burn more 100LL Im going broke. See ya! I`m off to the airport.
I can't keep puttin em up if I'm going to drive you into the poor house.
Hay I got it. Buy me a couple railroad tankers of 100LL
8gph I could stay up a long long time. Bet you are glad you don`t pay the fuel bill on the Citation . No pay check for Jim . ha ha
May I ask what cameras you are using in this video?
Aircraft forward view GoPro 4 silver. Aircraft side view GoPro 3 silver. All other video was taken with my phone a Samsung Galaxy s6.
GREAT VIDEOS CAPTAIN!! REGARDS FROM BRAZIL!!!
thanks.
I don’t like this Olen kid.
The next time you are in Pittsburgh, stop at Primanti's. You will not be disappointed...
I live not too far from Spirit of St. Louis AP so I'm sure I have "seen"
you many times, lol. Great descriptions and vids of the trip.
I love TacAir! We've got one here at KLEX
Good people there.
Great video!
Thanks.
Has a Client ever requested using a different call sign other the normal tail number? like "Jedi One"
Hi captain
are there pros and cons to flying for a commercial airline compared to flying for a private charter?
Yes. Airlines have better top pay and a fixed schedule. Flying charter has a lot more variety to the flying.
Thank you for the response! My dream is one step closer as I did my first solo flight to the training area yesterday :D
I should buy one of these wtf its amazing
It's a great airplane.
i know the famous actor he's talking about, it's Steve Buscemi!!
Please always put takeoffs in footage thanks!
Thanks for the input Sammy.
You make a good smuggler
is it possible for u to do a startup from cold and dark for the citation m2. no good ones out there. thanks.
Very cool !!!
I got a kick out seeing my brothers Camry and minivan at the end of the video..
Did the M2 replace the mustang?
(In the Cessna product line)
Hello, question...What is the fuel burn at cruse for the M2?
7:00 For some reason this airport is familiar, I just wonder why :)
Was it the rock?
I certainly hope you at least bought your wife dinner after waiting all that time.
Funny PIT story. We just took off out of EWR heading to LAX in the BAC 1-11 and about fifteen minutes into the flight, the flight attendant comes to the cockpit wigging out. Caterer forgot lemons. No. Big deal you say, HA! It was!! I call ahead to the FBO at PIT and have twenty lemons brought out to the plane as soon as we landed. We made up a story about why we needed to land, boss believed it, fool.
Quick fuel calculation and we were still good on fuel, didn't even shut both engines down. Threw the guy forty bucks and off we went. Boss was none the wiser, at least he never said anything. Another successful flight. Ahh, the fun times of corporate flying.

You made me laugh. I used to fly to Teterboro in GIIB once a week and we would have $700 of catering on board for potential clients.Steak, lobster and shrimp. Most of the time it was dinner for the Line guys back in St. Louis. But, about once a month the Boss would have us pickup Crystal burgers on the way to the airport. We could miss the lobster but, that $10 Crystal order better be on the airplane.

Thanks for watching. Right now, we're only flying the owners and family of the aircraft so no uniforms.
You might want to, "de-hair" the headrest in your car... :)
Jim, great videos! what headsets are you using in this flight?
Great videos Captmoonbeam...you should have been a Huey driver...you would fit right in!
I think helicopters would be a lot of fun.
10-4 on foreflight thanks
Your welcome.
Thanks so much for these vlogs. Very informative and entertaining, and I look forward to every installment. Was it difficult to get your employer to permit you to do them? Sure glad for all your loyal viewers that they permit you to share your experiences. RICK IN OHIO

maybe one day.

What do you think?
Hi Clinton. It's a requirement for a PPL to get a minimum of 3 hours of simulated instrument time. Could be a lifesaver.
Great video. You are so gifted at just showing what it means to be a charter pilot. Simple...not glamorizing it or anything "Fake." I can tell you really enjoy what you do. No matter what seat you are flying, you are a true professional and I always enjoy your taking us along!
thanks JIm. It's a lot of fun.
Nice videos. Please keep them coming. How about a public relations school to send both United CEO and the White House press secretary to learn how to keep their jobs.
I think their jobs are in serious doubt at this point.
Good evening Jim. Interesting story. Funny how things happen sometimes. The weather has been nice here today in the Chicago area. Hope you and your family have a nice Easter. Talk soon.
Hi Collin raining down here today and I gotta fly.
How many flight hours do you have captain?
14,000
Wow, 14000 hours doing best thing in the world, wish you many more ;)
Cool video!
Been enjoying your videos for a few weeks now! Can't thank you enough - you're delightfully pleasant and you keep some of us who are former pilots very entertained! (is there such a thing as a "former" pilot?!)
Nope, No former pilots here. Just out of currency.
Have you ever flown into Belize?
No, but I would like to.
Funny you show the lightening strips on the radome.. I know a thing or two about those.
I realized after I had made the video I had shown those before. I hate to repeat myself.
I'm not trying to narrow myself down here, but I am one of the people that inspects the radome for transmissivity. No worries on repeating yourself. We check the paint so if you get zapped at altitude, the aircraft will handle it. I love your video's.
No worries. I'm the one who inspects the paint thickness on the radome!
Love the videos, Jim. A contender for my favorite aviation channel. steveo1kinevo better watch out! Really cool to see the pilots behind airplane fractional ownership. What other channels do you recommend?
thanks. Flightchops and Steveo1 are my two top aviation channels.
Have you ever flown a Saab 340?
No. Never got the chance but, I wanted to fly one when I was a flight instructor.
Nice calm presentation Capt, great views and very interesting for me sitting here in Dunedin, New Zealand. I might have to avoid that take away food though! Keep up the walking!
thanks Chris
You remind me of one of my favorite pilots " Mr Bob Hoover". He and you seem to have the same temperament. I am a new subscriber to your channel I'm glad to have found.
