    Great video! Keep them coming and I am looking forward to seeing the ocean crossing! Wife and I bought a Mooney little over a year ago and are hoping to fly to the Bahamas next year.

    Entertaining video, looking forward to the crossing. We’re planning our first Mexico trip in the Mooney this year and not looking forward to the radio calls south of the border. But that’s as close an equivalent to a Bahamas trip on the west coast as we can get….

      It certainly adds difficulty…flying international. Good luck!
      Check out So Cal Flying Monkeys channel. He recently flew to Baja.

      @@aronhalt I saw that, and he conveniently flew to the same place we're planning. 6 hours from WA to Yuma, 3 hours for the last leg to Loreto.
      Did you need the FCC and Customs documents for the Bahama trip?

      Nobody asked for radio station license. The customs sticker purchase they might would notice missing and it’s cheap.

    Man, Florida's airspace is a zoo. Think I'll have to finish up my IFR and use an IFR flight plan if I ever do a similar trip.

      No. I’ve hade my VFR license less than a year and my Mooney isn’t IFR ready. At some point I’ll work on it.

      Sometimes I am. Other times I’m relying on ADSB traffic scans along with alerts in my headset. This time I was just on ADSB as the flight was short and I didn’t expect all the traffic.

    Nice videos. Would love to hear some commentary and explanations for the process involved in getting to Bahamas. Please don't ruin these nice clips with that awful music.

      Skipping through long or boring parts timed to music is kinda my thing…not everyone will like it.
      I’m making blog posts on how to fly to the Bahamas, and about the trip.

      It was God awful. I just don't understand why everyone youtuber thinks music is good or needed. lol
