Since Wolfe is a CFI, I finally logged my first hour toward my PPL!! Hope you all enjoyed this one. The citation drinks gas at low altitudes… lesson learned… we’ll stick with the Bonanzas for these lunch runs 😂

I cannot explain how happy it makes me feel to see you two young men just seriously taking the world by the horns! You young guys are amazing, all of you, your entire crew. I’m 51 and really really enjoy your content 🤩🙌
I'm 53 and I'm kind of envious of them but in a way their lives are so far removed from mine that it doesn't feel like I'm on the same planet. Maybe "next time round" I'll be someone like this.
I wouldn't inflate these guys ego anymore than it already is. These videos are nothing more than a lowkey wallet flex. There is way more to life than money and possessions. Plus reality is never as it appears, especially on the internet.
@@sgtstedanko7186 You need some love in your life. I’ll add you to my conversation with the big man over the next few days to see what we can do for you. I got ya brother.
An additional thing to remember about short trips is they mess up engine hour/landing cycle ratio. You don't want it lower than 1:1. Fortunately, longer trips help balance out the short trips. (Former CJ1 owner) How long ago did you make the flight? I looked on AirNav and Jet A today at FFZ is $5.84. Great video!
@@ishankramer Ultimately it has a lot to do with life cycle costs, especially if you are selling the aircraft. Landing gear has scheduled maintenance and replacement life. Generally buyers don't want to see way more landing cycles than engine cycles. Lots of short flights on retractable landing gear equals more frequent maintenance and sooner replacement.
@@oreo10111A 501 with +/- 6000 hours is a low time airplane. You’re probably paying 600-1M depending on equipment so they’re economical to buy, not so economical to fly. It’s a trade off
Absolutely love these videos of your flights in the Cessna Citation I ! The pilot did a great job on the landings! Keep making more videos of your flights. I would like to see it all...inside and outside thru the windows. If, I never get the chance to fly in one of those private jets, at least this is cool to see!
Happy for you guys and that you can share such experiences, and thank you for inspiring others to discover aviation, even if it's now a very rich man's thing. This is a bit bitter sweet as with moderately hard work, back in the 80's I was able to buy my first airplane at 18' (A 66' Cessna 337 with 1800TT and 300hrs on both engines for $11,000! and afford college fly 300miles home occasionally with a business and working summers. Later on about $4,500 a month I was able to afford a P-Baron, and occasionally hire a frend and his Lear 25D for business trips. Today, $4,500 a month is poverty level, and I can hardly afford to drive. Fly safe, and think and plan for the future guys. Cheers!
@@unwoundbound1957 You have an different opinion? In Portland Oregon, expect to pay about $2k/month for a basic place, Food maybe $400. Health Insurance $500+/month, Electric, $300/mo, Internet, $120. Car Insurance, $100/mo That's $3,000 off the top. Take about 25% off for state, and federal taxes, and that leaves you $3,375 take home, or for the average person, about $75 left over for everything else.
@@unwoundbound1957 Try to make it on less than $2k per month after your retirement was was stolen. If not for Food banks and an eBike I'd be living in a tent, which Portland will pay you $1,000 a month to do. I'm thinking about the Midwest too, or maybe going back to S.E. Asia, or maybe try Armenia, Bulgaria, Rwanda or Turkey, but I might see if I can buy a hanger with plumbing and get an old motor home to park inside.
Young fellas, I thoroughly enjoyed your video. Watched the first one (your new purchase) and this one was no let down. There truly is nothing like flying yourself.
I've always loved aviation and had my private pilot's license in the 80's, but didn't have the income to continue flying. These videos are great, but I'd love to see some where you guys teach entrepreneurship and provide some guidance to some of us old guys who would love to learn some of what you have learned as younger men. Congrats on the Citation purchase and keep the videos coming.
Love that old school panel! Bummer someone put a huge scratch on the GTN650 though :( I honestly think learning to fly with round dials makes you a better pilot. Of course everyone wants all glass, but really all I want is a good AP :)
Loved the video. This the second video that highlighted Sedona dining. I’ve always wanted to fly to airports with good eateries. Working on my IR, so Sedona is on my list for nearby stops.
Great video. Loved flying the 501 and greasing it onto the Sedonna runway. OK, maybe that was a little bit of an exageration. Landing at Sedonna with a strong crosswind can be very challenging. Going in there one summer the aircraft ahead of us was having trouble geting it on the runway and attempted a go-around. They didn't make it and Crashed on the west slope of the mesa. We diverted to Flag Staff.
Someone in front of you crashing on the side...no biggie...pardon me while I slide down this runway real quick like before it's starts getting busy. Fuels expensive
the "USS" Sedona is right over the hill from me. It is incredible you guys got to get her up here after the snow! I actually flew a 182 in there and lost our brakes on rollout. tehehehe. fun stuff! Great video as always guys, Fly Safe!
That’s awesome I am a student pilot out of Falcon field, just flew from there this morning, hopefully I’ll get to hear you guys on the frequency some day.
@@Rooksahocongrats. Some of us did it the hard way. At 18 I was flying a 210D Cessna for a small local corporation. Logging over 500 hours a year. At 19 o took a second job aerial spraying. By 25 I was flying business jet left seat for a large corporation. It can be done just takes drive and determination. Great video!
Wow!! I was watching your videos and had no idea y’all were flying out of falcon. I work right across the street and my owner Bob Carter has a Cessna he has at Falcon!! How awesome is this!!
That's a really nice plane. My family was middle class and I worked hard to become a self made millionaire... hoping I can buy something like that someday.
An idea for an episode… a race… you vs your brother.. one in a car, one in a plane start from home or a spot away from the airport… between drive time, pre flights, trip planning etc.. who arrives first ?? Which is actually faster ??
Hola Pura Vida from Costa Rica ...I saw this 2 videos and love them .. Im a simulator pilot but I will start follow you guys .. I have a Tourism company .. let me know when are you planning to come for some SURF .. ADIOS MAE ...
Blessed to own my own '78 501SP and it is not only easy and fun to fly but one of the best investments I've ever made. I couldn't do the low flight level trips y'all do because 75gph burn at FL370 is enough for me. Lol
Fun fact. I follow flights on Flight Radar 24. Your airplane, N52TL is a Cessna 501, N52LT is a Cessna 550. My dyslexia frustrated me when I couldn't find this flight by tail number! Not realizing that I swapped the two letters, both are Cessna jets and I thought I had the right airplane.
Awesome guys, the dream of many and now you have to go next level and travel to other countries and I bet the views will go up in a 100%. You don't have to fly to far you can start with Central America, Mexico or Islands near US.
Since Wolfe is a CFI, I finally logged my first hour toward my PPL!! Hope you all enjoyed this one. The citation drinks gas at low altitudes… lesson learned… we’ll stick with the Bonanzas for these lunch runs 😂
Yep they are made to opperate up in higher altitudes for economic longer rane flights .
If you really wanted to save money you’d have walked to McDonalds. Have plane, will travel.
Free lesson towards your pilot’s license: before flying any plane, do some reading up in the POH!
A little bit of words for the wise when you have a pro around and he asked you if you have any questions feel free to ask anything because it's rare to have them available
Sometimes it's easy to feel weird about asking a question but like in the military they say no question is a bad question and that should always hold true
Flying is addictive......I happen to know something of the subject.
Wow, the pilot is so chill and you guys nailed the flight, made it so interesting. Cheers from Brazil!!
Thank you very much!

That dude is a good pilot

This is very true. That’s why I think we’re going to take the Bonanza from now on 😂
Why is that ratio important ? Is it maintenance related or simply cost effectiveness ? Genuinely curious!

Generally buyers don't want to see way more landing cycles than engine cycles. Lots of short flights on retractable landing gear equals more frequent maintenance and sooner replacement.
This is a 501, it's already worth pennies... or maybe nickels as scrap parts.

This guy is my favorite pilot. I see him flying the millennium falcon like a bad ass
Thank you, I really enjoyed your video, you perform a service to us old guys who can't fly anymore. Kind regards David in Cape Town, South Africa
Thanks!
I'm certain your $2 donation helps support the Airplane.

I just can't stop watching pilot videos hats off to you all, my pipe dream is a TBM940 but i will never have more than a 2019 Silverado.
first pilot who does not smack the master caution/warning switches. everyone else i have seen before just smacks them with no mercy. Nice flying!
Man the pilot looks so young!! What a freaking STUD, MAN!! That dude is legit! Smart smart young dude. Guys these vids are so cool! 🤩🙌
Use to fly the 500 & 501. Thanks for the memories.
Sick vid guys! Wolfe handles that thing like a champ~ Nice work all around.
You're doing what many of us would if we had the cash....I can watch your video and be happy for you :)
Starting my PPL later this year, thanks for the extra motivation Lads! Wolfe is clearly the man, would love to log my 1st hours with him! 👀💯

Loving the airplane videos man.Totally worth it! Congrats again on the jet!
Glad you like them!

Glad you enjoyed it
Livin’ the dream…so fun watching you guys and your excitement with aviation. Never lose your wonder! 😊😊😊
Great video again lads. Loved that hyperlapse of night approach towards the end, looked amazing!
2:51 Thrust Reversers are NOT factored into calculated landing distances
Love the analog instruments! Real flying stuff!
Wow! A cessna citation and no PPL, what a start!!! Go for it! Nothing can stop you now!
Clearly I gotta watch this channel more often, because this was such a cool video
Please so, so much content on the way. Bought 3 more planes!
Thrust reverser’s are not predicated into the configuration for landing distance, because if they don’t work all you have a brakes!
Looks like the kids found the keys to daddy's plane again.
Ha!
YOU GUYS KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK AND ALWAYS SAFE FLYING.
Love the good old dials and counters; watching it I almost got the smell of the cockpit.
Thanks so much for sharing these videos.....I couldn't stop watching.... this was so motivating to me as a student pilot!!
You got this!
Another great video, thanks for sharing guys.....
So hype I’m about to go to the flyers game, and you guys dropped a vid
First comment! Nice!
Keep up the great content and have fun in this Citation!!
Thank you! Will do!
Wolfe is the mvp, safe flying guys!
I've always loved aviation and had my private pilot's license in the 80's, but didn't have the income to continue flying.

Invest that's how I did it
That was beautiful! Sedona is one of my favorite places. Thanks for taking me along!

love it sold 23 of these last year
Worth every penny guys, superb. Bravo.
Wow what a great Video boys! Welcome to the jet club
So much fun to watch! Keep up the great content y'all 😎
Thanks so much!!
Cool stuff! Love seeing flights from the vantage point of the pilot.
Chill Crew! And one of my fav types!
Love your videos!! I'm 5 minutes from Falcon Field. Love to see the Citation up close someday!! Keep up the great work!

I did a biplane ride long ago out of Sedona. What a thrill taking off on a cliff in an open cockpit!
Someone in front of you crashing on the side...no biggie...pardon me while I slide down this runway real quick like before it's starts getting busy. Fuels expensive
So freakin awesome man!!!
He set that Citation down like BUTTER!
Sending love from South Africa. Keep the content rolling.
Cool flight. I’ve flown that BeechJet that was parked next to you. Enjoyed the ride along!
Awesome vid guys!
Awesome guys love the videos flew in cessna 170 as a kid with family in the 70’s 80’s
So did you start your trip VFR and started IFR inflight?
Absolutely worth it. That’s freaking badass dude
Love this!!!! Way to go guys.
the "USS" Sedona is right over the hill from me. It is incredible you guys got to get her up here after the snow! I actually flew a 182 in there and lost our brakes on rollout. tehehehe. fun stuff! Great video as always guys, Fly Safe!
Couldn’t tell when the wheels touched down. Smooooth 👍
He buttered it for sure
Go for it Guys, great flight, it will will always be a greater cost when it is a short flight at relatively low altitudes
Definitely! We’ll have to just save it for longer flights though haha
That’s awesome I am a student pilot out of Falcon field, just flew from there this morning, hopefully I’ll get to hear you guys on the frequency some day.
Heck yea! See you around!
Amazing views!!! Thanks for sharing with us!!! Congratulations to y’all!!!!
Lucky guys! Happy for ya! Great video!
This is amazing how "real" this video is. How fun.
You hit the BARS perfect. Nice landing.
Flew one of these back in the 80’s. Slow but fun jet. Would love to see it. Mesa?
License at 17? Dad must be a doctor or lawyer.
Solo’d at 16, ppl at 17, instrument just before my 18th then commercial through CFII and now atp, took me getting a loan, no doctor father

@@keepingtheswineinline7126wish I could do that, can’t fine any job at 500 tours
💯 % worth every bit of it! Make memories! Today is called the present because it's a gift for tomorrow is never promised!

Yessir 😤
Wow!! I was watching your videos and had no idea y’all were flying out of falcon. I work right across the street and my owner Bob Carter has a Cessna he has at Falcon!! How awesome is this!!
No way! Small world!
That jet has got the sweetest visibility out the cockpit. Windows are huge.
That's a really nice plane. My family was middle class and I worked hard to become a self made millionaire... hoping I can buy something like that someday.
Awesome, love entrepreneurial success stories! You’ll definitely get one if you want one!
You’ll not enjoy the maintenance payments. Plan on about $1500 + fuel per hour plus the pilot. I fly a Citation 2 where it’s $1800+fuel /hr and crew.
Wonderful view of Sedona and great video. A 100 Bucks landing fee is a lot for GA. These costs are adding up.
Yes and yes
And the fuel prices,yikes!
That is beautiful
Man I think this awesome! I’ve watched you guys for years. Definitely cool! Congratulations.😁😎
How about just flying over Grand Canyon I think that would be a awesome view thank you all so much for sharing and God speed
Great video, looks like so much fun!
So cool seeing a citation squawking VFR
Another great video. Thanks for taking us along yall!
