Retired military pilot and current airline pilot here...I was a little nervous at first on how young he looks but after a couple minutes of watching and seeing how he works the flight deck I was pleasantly proven wrong. Well done! Your future is bright.
I'm a retired airline pilot with a 40-year career. I started flying when I was 17. Flew my first jet the falcon 20 for 6 years when I was 21 years old. I looked as young as you do in this video back then. Have a long healthy career.
@@westcoastflyerDamn dude, I envious because I wish I had this option to Sacramento. Charlotte to Sacramento to visit my wife's family usually takes all day for me and economy gets a little cramped!!
Is it a chaotic upbringing? Do you complain & scream nonsensically always trying to find something to scream & complain about? Are you an authoritarian parent that makes them do things without reason & beats them up about whatever thing you wanna make up on that day? Are you a permissive parent that lets them do whatever they want & then complain about your own error or are you an absentee parent that's not present in the child's life? His parents also have money to afford to have their teenager flying a fucking private jet.
I was thinking “he looks 16”., this isn’t gonna be good. Boy was I wrong. Absolutely 100% competent. I would let my daughter fly with him. Great video. Great aviator! Please be an example to others your age! He’s not a your tuber trying to create stupid drama, he’s setting a stellar example of how to aviate.
Have you seen the 14 year old aerobatic pilot? Not sure if still that young, but he's rocking his student pilot cert and solo'ing for aerobatic competitions and killing it.
Nah…. my daughters aren’t flying with any 16 yo flyboys with a jet…. I don’t care how good of a pilot he is 😂. That being said, I’m a pilot, and I would absolutely fly with him. Managing an advanced aircraft like this takes serious discipline and training. Obviously did the work.
Came across this channel and found it very interesting, then midway saw scripture, then I knew I was in the right place... stay Blessed on all your journeys...
Within 10 minutes of this video I could tell you are a very competent pilot. My heart was overjoyed when I saw the Bible verse. You gained me as a subscriber.
@AZPrime-yu4nq God does not "allow" violence. He gives us free will, and it's up to each of us individually to figure out what we do with it. We either choose love or hate, peace or violence. God gives us the freedom and ability to choose how to live. As for me and my house, we shall follow the Lord.
Am 58 yrs old battling enlarged Prostate since early this yr. 2024. Now 16 October 2024. VA TOLD ME MY NECK SAMPLE LYMPH NODES IS STAGE 3 n 4 cancer . Am army combat wombed vet 2011, 26 July 2011 2 weeks in acoma vet. 27 yrs. active 8 yrs n until I got injured . I always wanted to learn to fly pilot. As a career. Guess that’s not gonna happen now. I start kimo next week . Pray for me. This guy here n his GF N PARENTS IS LIVING HIS BEST LIFE. GREAT VLOG . CONGRATS.
Love the verse and your perspective on His intent for our lives. Retired Air Force here. I have managed these jets and trained pilots in them since they first hit the streets so to speak. I love them. I have flown our US government's dignitaries, flown fast movers and large 4-engine aircraft. The Vision Jet is probably the singularly most capable & versatile aircraft I have flown. You can go into Chicago Ohare, or First Flight in NC, single pilot.......BTW, nice job. You have a bright road map ahead of you.
@@barrygerenski6259 most rich people are pretty dang limited, let alone rich kids that young. Place him anywhere in the developing world and he'll be rich again in 5 years or less.
@@marcelomoreira8578 Yes and no really. I paid $8,000 to get 35hrs into my PPL training. I needed about $2,000 more to complete it, then another $500 to do a checkride. Due to money I wasn’t able to get my PPL. Still currently cannot get it. Gotta get some more money. Being rich is definitely an advantage. Doesn’t guarantee nor promise you’ll be flying a Jet like this, but you have a guarantee to pay for your training/way of passage. Just how life is ig. Many kids wanna fly but they can’t afford it. There are some loan programs, and there are some airlines that get you in for free, but a lot of those are for the 1%. And not trying to go in debt $200,000. Especially if my Medical falls apart lol.
The V-Jet seems to be a great plane for the mission the family uses it for. Not as economical as the Diamond, but certainly faster. The chute adds safety for sure.
Awesome job by a nice young man & his family. I was initially surprised that a young man could pilot a jet but after the flight ✈️ check i relaxed because i realised this guy knows his stuff. Nuff respect. I've noticed there's a crop of young Pilots coming out of Oklahoma,Kansas & Arizona. Watching from the land downunder Sydney NSW Australia. Bless up ❤
My brother got his Private Pilot's License in 1974, and I went flying with him many times. I was in my teens and it was a such a thrill. He flew Single engine Cessnas - 172, 182. 😀
Great job landing in my home state of Oklahoma! Duncan was the little town you saw and Ft Sill was your restricted air space. Big Army artillery training base. Beautiful jet
What all us old guys forget is how quickly the young brain of (our former) youth of a 20-somethings can absorb information, process it, and make decisions. Its Why the military always has used 20-somethings in this in new innovations in war tech. Us old guys' brains become inelastic, harder to train. Young brains learn, absorb, react, correct, repeat.
Agree . When I started fly I was 14. Friends at church had a plane and gave ma a great education. Funny thing I thought it was no big deal. Learning was super easy. And I soloed at 16. Had a stroke in my 40’s that ended my flying. Was good while it lasted
Dude all the militaries in the world use 20 year old kids because of their youth, inexperience and testosterone rush; they can go for dying easily 😂 you can not expect a 35-40 year old guy for dying because his brain start working and don’t go to war and die or became crippled for politics
Outstanding video. You've definitely got yourself another subscriber. I know your parents must be proud of what you've already accomplished at such a young age by putting in the work to become a pilot. Kudos to you young man.
Thanks for taking us along on this exciting Cirrus Vision Jet flight from Florida to Oklahoma! It's fascinating to see the cockpit and hear about the flight experience firsthand. The views from the sky are breathtaking, and the smoothness of the flight is impressive. Looking forward to more flight vlogs in the future!
Commercial single engine land rated, flying the Vision in X-Plane ... thanks for taking us along, great tips to use during simulation. Excellent aviator !
Looked for videos about the vision jet in TH-cam and found this great channel. amazing video and very nice family and a very smart guy. Thumbs up 👍 and a big like from the other side of the ocean. You have a new subscriber. Big greets from EDDM and have a happy new year time 🛩️✌️
I was typed on the Lear 23 at age 23. (1979)There were skeptics but I managed to never have any issues. This young man does very well with this complex airplane.
Just happened to cross this video. From Australia. My daughter spent 4 years playing college basketball for Cameron University in Lawton, Oklahoma so I’ve spent quite some time here. A special place in our hearts. Great video and great flying, you know your stuff.
A friend of mine who's the airport director in Lawton OK posted a pic a few weeks back from her office of your Cirrus. I randomly stumbled across your TH-cam video today of that flight into KLAW. I knew you were young but didn't know the youngest, awesome job!
Hey Blaze. I work Airport Ops at PHX and saw your landing. Great job. Love your videos and the jet. I went to college to become a pilot way neck in the 80s. But never finished but did get my aviation management degree. I have 26 hours though. lol. But ended close to flying. Spent 30 years with an airline before retiring and getting into Airport Operations. I love the ramp crew at Cutter. Keep up the great videos and fly safe.
Great job young man! Some of these commenters don't have a clue about what you have achieved at your age. Beautiful jet, wonderful family, and supportive girlfriend. God speed....
Great video!! And to answer your question about the gators in the Choctawhatcee Bay, YES, we live close to Shalimar on Garmier's Bayou and there are certainly gators in that brackish water where two creeks flow into the bayou in the back. I have seen a dolphin, a gator and a hammer head shark on on the same day without ever leaving the bay.
Love coming to Mt. Scott to hike and ride bikes, gorgeous views in Lawton. As an aside, Lawton is the birthplace of WW2 P47 pilot Robert S. Johnson, one of the highest scoring US aces and one of the best fighter pilots of any country in the war.
Young and talented! Great job! Very relaxed in the left seat, sounds good and pro on the radio, which I imagine ATC loves to hear. But then I look at his passengers and they look soooo relaxed. Almost as if they're thinking, we're in good hands here. Sit back and enjoy the flight.
I think i heard you say on the brakes when you retracted the landing gear. I can tell you what happened to me back in 1994. i retired from the airlines after 35 years in 2023 and one of the planes i flew was the Saab 340. i flew the Saab 10k hours over 11 years and the plane i flew before the Saab was the Metro liner SA227 and i would tap the brakes to stop the wheels when the gear was retracted. So i tapped the brakes on the Saab also . The Saab has anti lock brakes. One night after takeoff when the gear was coming up i tapped the brakes and later after about an hour we noticed we had lost almost all the hydraulic fluid. Landed safely but had to get towed to the gate. The brake caliber on number 2 wheel had broken at the top and bottom and was completely missing. So maybe the sudden stop caused it to break and so i quit tapping the brakes. Thanks for the video.
Tapping the breaks is a good practice. The repeated extra stress on the gear due to gyroscopic procession when you don't tap the brakes has a far greater probability of causing a problem than the isolated incident you experienced. If you want to get an idea of how much extra force is required to retract the gear with the wheels spinning go fly something like a C model Mooney with manual gear and experience the difference yourself.
Thank you, young man, for your posts. This is a great time to be pursuing your career. I appreciate your copilots comments that she put out there. I bet she has a great sense of humor! Our #2 grandson is your age and is an Air Force Lt., now in training in a T-6A, in Mississippi. I, as a retired Architect, had my office at the JGG FBO, in Williamsburg, Va. AS THEY SAY…., KEEP THE BLUE SIDE UP AND THE BROWN SIDE DOWN!
One pilot to another - great flying. It's none of my business, but I know how much that Cirrus jet costs to own and operate and perhaps even more impressive than his flying skills is his ability to own such a beautiful aircraft. Not jealous - just amazed.
Looks like the jet is owned by the holding company of Dutch Bros Coffee, a group of nearly 1,000 coffee stands primarily on the west coast. Always good being born into a right family!
Great job! I have not seen this jet before. I didn't know there was a single engine jet. Very quiet. I'm impressed! I have not flown since 2000, just before my husband died.
@@jimquantic Translation: "I'm not a successful dad, so to make myself feel better about what I can't offer my children, I'm going to try and shame someone else for their success."
Flawless take off and landing, hit his coms schedule in his flight plan, and most of all, he’s enjoying it! Don’t ever fly commercial if you don’t have to. Walking through airports everyday, and flying a crazy schedule will take the joy out of flying. If you don’t have to fly to make a living, live to fly!
Loved the video and i was impressed by how calm and focused you are flying the plane, at your age you are giving an extraordinary example to all young men, especially the ambitious ones to do good things in life and the good things are the ones that we do with pride. god bless and your beautiful family . greetings from Morocco.
I am a 135 pilot slave and I love how he is on final, doing it all right and the passengers are all like, wow look at this look at that. He must know them all :)
Much like everyone else, I immediately thought, how young is this kid... I cannot express how encouraging it is to watch this well-documented flight in a personal aircraft. Very impressive skills displayed today, and it says a lot about how calm the parents are with their son at the controls. Well done, mom and dad (in the rear seats)! Beautiful plane and family, btw!
The Cirrus vision, along with the piston SR 22, are among the coolest aircraft--amazing tech as shown by this fine young pilot who shows such a relaxed attitude, like my own CFI once did when I began fixed wing light sport lessons when I was 45, in 06. His name was Jason Bullard, a fine young adult not quite half my age. I learned on a steam gauge Allegro 2000 but also took a lesson in a glass cockpit Zenith low wing. Two years later, I learned to fly trikes in Arizona and New Mexico, which with nothing but air beneath ones feet is as close to being a real bird--with only a trapeze for pitch and roll and also the control is opposite fixed wing. But the safety of the flight is the same, though the speed is much lower, only 45mph in a single place trike at cruise with a 28 hp engine. Two place trikes generally cruise faster, around 60-70 mph. I remember practicing turns around a point in my CFI's trike at 2000 feet in 20 knot winds aloft, and engine out landings in a desert wash near Brenda, AZ. I have also enjoyed a Luscombe flight in PA once, my only grass field takeoff and landing, until an embedded thunderstorm cut the tail dragger flight short and we landed just as the rain started to fall. It was my only flight in a taildragger but despite some saying a Luscombe is hard to fly, it is wonderfully harmonized and wonderful with metal wings, and easy to taxi on grass. The only drawback is I had to start it with a qtr pull of my arm, behind the prop, after its owner took right seat after giving me a brief lesson. Amazing for an engine that was over 50 years old but with great compressions. Thanks for letting me share and your share of the amazing Vision jet. You picked up a new subscriber and Oklahoma, where I taught a client once in Ada, which had the same name of the fiance I met the same year in '84, a Mexicana travel agent, so odd how my job as a hotel systems instructor during which I logged over 500K miles as a passenger got me hooked up with an airline travel agent, which my Mom joked was inevitable. She was so surprised when she found that to be true!
just came across your channel would watch 310 Pilot all the time they sold their plane and stopped filming, glad I found you guys, look forward to your adventures.
god dayum son, I'll bet you've never slept in the back of a car shivering cold at nights. You better tell those parents of yours you love em everyday. You've got no idea what you have
@@imthrillz5255 the majority of the world doesn’t have cars. But in this country, while there are homeless folks, they are not most people, which is what I was saying.
Definitely your an inspiration to you young people great job and the amazing focus to details with so much going on at same time, God bless and may you always have safe flights!
The reason they asked for a tight base was to keep you out of the Fort Sill airspace. Fort Sill is the home of Army Field Artillery. A bunch of high explosive artillery rounds and rockets shot daily. Not a place you want to fly over.
Very nice jet and I love the way it’s designed and the panoramic view is amazing along with all the screens on the dash. You handled it beautifully and with ease. Awesome pilot
I will ask the same question that I ask of all pilots who fly with friends or family. What would happen to your passengers if you were suddenly incapacitated after takeoff?
You just got a new sub! Loved the whole experience and the scriptures just made it even better! I've been getting into aviation and looking to commence my journey soon. So inspiring

Thank you, young man, for your posts. This is a great time to be pursuing your career. I appreciate your copilots comments that she put out there. I bet she has a great sense of humor! Our #2 grandson is your age and is an Air Force Lt., now in training in a T-6A, in Mississippi. I, as a retired Architect, had my office at the JGG FBO, in Williamsburg, Va. AS THEY SAY…., KEEP THE BLUE SIDE UP AND THE BROWN SIDE DOWN!
The startup sound was amazing, I hope one day i'd get a chance to ride in one of these
One pilot to another - great flying. It's none of my business, but I know how much that Cirrus jet costs to own and operate and perhaps even more impressive than his flying skills is his ability to own such a beautiful aircraft. Not jealous - just amazed.
Looks like the jet is owned by the holding company of Dutch Bros Coffee, a group of nearly 1,000 coffee stands primarily on the west coast. Always good being born into a right family!
Love the Bible verse you put in this, awesome video please continue to post, i'm currently sitting on 130 hours 🙏
Luke 18:25
agreed!! when i saw the bible verse, i immediately followed his page. #morejesus
Great job! I have not seen this jet before. I didn't know there was a single engine jet. Very quiet. I'm impressed! I have not flown since 2000, just before my husband died.
Awesome. Thank you for the ride-a-long!!
Cool jet, love the glass cockpit! Watched a couple of your videos, very enjoyable. Your girl is pretty!
Proud parents indeed. This young fella can fly.
Thank you!
The product of privilege to be sure.
@@jimquantic Do you and your "58 subscribers" to your no content channel feel better now?
@@jimquantic Translation: "I'm not a successful dad, so to make myself feel better about what I can't offer my children, I'm going to try and shame someone else for their success."
@@jimquanticNah, just hard work and dedication among him and his parents.
Great job young man! You make me wish I had stayed in the Civil Air Patrol class many years ago!
Flawless take off and landing, hit his coms schedule in his flight plan, and most of all, he’s enjoying it!
Don’t ever fly commercial if you don’t have to. Walking through airports everyday, and flying a crazy schedule will take the joy out of flying. If you don’t have to fly to make a living, live to fly!
Fly FedEx the only way to go ……..
Young man has a bright future and I hope he mentors others on how to become a man in today's world .. 💪❤
Fantastic pilot with own jet great flight brilliant videos you got new subscriber 👍🇬🇧😊
I live in Duluth, MN. About the. 10 mins from cirrus aircraft. Also I deliver to them three days out of the week for UPS. Awesome company and planes.
I live and fly in Oklahoma, loooots of flat land so always a good place for emergency landing lol. Great vlog as always!
Loved the video and i was impressed by how calm and focused you are flying the plane, at your age you are giving an extraordinary example to all young men, especially the ambitious ones to do good things in life and the good things are the ones that we do with pride. god bless and your beautiful family . greetings from Morocco.
Great to see that God has blessed you Brother Blaze in a Cirrus JeT
Not so sure "God" has anything to do with this.
Thanks for the fly along and excellent landing ……I will fly with you anytime….nicely done mate!
Off your phone, enjoy what you are seeing!
How Kool ,so professional,Oklahoma is a great state been here 30 years ,grew up in Anaheim Hills , wouldn't change a thing ,keep up the great flying .
I’m quite impressed that you put Philippians 4:6 into this video. Well done. 😊
I love how he stayed focused on the taxi and takeoff. You can tell he has briefed them before to let him focus during that time.
Really enjoyed the video. You are a true professional aviator.
I am a 135 pilot slave and I love how he is on final, doing it all right and the passengers are all like, wow look at this look at that. He must know them all :)
Ah man, couldn't be happier for you! That's amazing, hope it was good fun.
Much like everyone else, I immediately thought, how young is this kid... I cannot express how encouraging it is to watch this well-documented flight in a personal aircraft. Very impressive skills displayed today, and it says a lot about how calm the parents are with their son at the controls. Well done, mom and dad (in the rear seats)! Beautiful plane and family, btw!
Nothing but awesomeness brother. Sweet new ride. Well done sir.
Thank you!
Good job taking your time on that preflight check list.
Great work young man! Not required for your operation, but I strongly recommend “sterile” flight deck below 10,000’ AGL. 👨✈️
Thanks for the tip!
Excellent video! God bless! Praying for you and yours
Great Job !!! .. thanks for sharing. great flight very professional !!!! All The Best !!!
The Cirrus vision, along with the piston SR 22, are among the coolest aircraft--amazing tech as shown by this fine young pilot who shows such a relaxed attitude, like my own CFI once did when I began fixed wing light sport lessons when I was 45, in 06. His name was Jason Bullard, a fine young adult not quite half my age.
I learned on a steam gauge Allegro 2000 but also took a lesson in a glass cockpit Zenith low wing. Two years later, I learned to fly trikes in Arizona and New Mexico, which with nothing but air beneath ones feet is as close to being a real bird--with only a trapeze for pitch and roll and also the control is opposite fixed wing. But the safety of the flight is the same, though the speed is much lower, only 45mph in a single place trike at cruise with a 28 hp engine.
Two place trikes generally cruise faster, around 60-70 mph.
I remember practicing turns around a point in my CFI's trike at 2000 feet in 20 knot winds aloft, and engine out landings in a desert wash near Brenda, AZ.
I have also enjoyed a Luscombe flight in PA once, my only grass field takeoff and landing, until an embedded thunderstorm cut the tail dragger flight short and we landed just as the rain started to fall. It was my only flight in a taildragger but despite some saying a Luscombe is hard to fly, it is wonderfully harmonized and wonderful with metal wings, and easy to taxi on grass. The only drawback is I had to start it with a qtr pull of my arm, behind the prop, after its owner took right seat after giving me a brief lesson. Amazing for an engine that was over 50 years old but with great compressions.
Thanks for letting me share and your share of the amazing Vision jet. You picked up a new subscriber and Oklahoma, where I taught a client once in Ada, which had the same name of the fiance I met the same year in '84, a Mexicana travel agent, so odd how my job as a hotel systems instructor during which I logged over 500K miles as a passenger got me hooked up with an airline travel agent, which my Mom joked was inevitable.
She was so surprised when she found that to be true!
Good job Blaze. You have a nice family.
*rich family
just came across your channel would watch 310 Pilot all the time they sold their plane and stopped filming, glad I found you guys, look forward to your adventures.
Awesome flight guys! Totally enjoyed
god dayum son, I'll bet you've never slept in the back of a car shivering cold at nights. You better tell those parents of yours you love em everyday. You've got no idea what you have
Most folks haven’t had to do that.
@@nclaw441that is a insanely false statement you’ve just made.
@@nclaw441the majority of the world is poor, you are wrong and naive.
@@imthrillz5255 the majority of the world doesn’t have cars. But in this country, while there are homeless folks, they are not most people, which is what I was saying.
@@nclaw441 you just proved the point about majority of the world being poor in your first few words, lol.
Definitely your an inspiration to you young people great job and the amazing focus to details with so much going on at same time, God bless and may you always have safe flights!
Thank you!
The reason they asked for a tight base was to keep you out of the Fort Sill airspace. Fort Sill is the home of Army Field Artillery. A bunch of high explosive artillery rounds and rockets shot daily. Not a place you want to fly over.
Very nice jet and I love the way it’s designed and the panoramic view is amazing along with all the screens on the dash. You handled it beautifully and with ease. Awesome pilot
Loved the Bible verse addition. Just earned a new subscriber
Gonna have to hit the subscribe button after hearing this!! I haven't finished the video yet.
Awesome! Thank you!
I don't know crap about flying a plane or being a pilot....but you look like you've been doing it for decades. Impressive stuff man! Keep it up!
Thank you!
I will ask the same question that I ask of all pilots who fly with friends or family. What would happen to your passengers if you were suddenly incapacitated after takeoff?
I second this question
You just got a new sub! Loved the whole experience and the scriptures just made it even better! I've been getting into aviation and looking to commence my journey soon. So inspiring
Loved the bible verse you shared very nice!
Lots of ski lakes in Oklahoma. Stop in McAlester MLC next time! Lake Eufaula nearby! Enjoyed the video!
A lot of us might think this is easy as it looks! True thing needs intelligent brain! I did my classes but I didn’t complete! 😢
Amazing video! I just started my journey to get my PPL. keep the videos coming!
The most Beautiful part in this video is the Pilots better half.
Good job kid. From a senior retired military pilot.
Thanks for giving God the glory in everything you do. Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today and tomorrow.
People who inject their religion into everything are such boors!
