I am from Michigan and have been to Mackinaw several times its a magical place that takes you back in time it definitely is a cool place. Its cool to see it from your perspective.
searay3400 I agree! It’s truly magical and from above it provides a whole other world of beauty!
4:46, the longtime A&P in me immediately noticed the fluctuating fuel flow gauge for the no.2 engine. Could be a loose wire in the cannon plug for 28V power supply or for the electrical ground.
Ish 2 Da Choppa Good eye, it’s since been fixed. I am not sure which issue was causing the problem but they have it taken care of now. Thankful for all the A&Ps who keep us safe!
I drove over that bridge on my first ever day of driving in the USA when visiting from the UK. You have brought back a lot of memories!
Colin Potter It really is an incredible bridge in a magnificent place! I always enjoy my time up there.
I've been to the island over a dozen times over the years....a great place. Rode our bikes up to the airport one time (it is the highest elevation of the island) just in time to see a Beech Bonanza take off. What a beauty way to go.
Tom Lutz It never gets old! Such a beautiful place.
Great vlog mate - very nice views - loved it
Equal to the Task Aviation Thanks so much. 😊 Sure glad you enjoyed it. We sure did.
Another great video and location of one of my favourite films - 'Somewhere in time'. Bonus! Look forward to the next one.
MrMihawes Oh, I haven’t watched that yet. I’ll have to check it out. Love that area.
Beautiful flight, great information for student pilots, thank you for taking the time to share
Basim Rehman My pleasure. I’m always excited when individuals find value in the videos and information.
Yes! As you know this is by far my favorite Michigan destination. I like to have lunch at the Mighty Mac downtown. Great spot for a burger!
Plane Cents Michigan really is the BEST!!!! So many great places.
Oh hey CJ. Ever try the Chuckwagon? I highly recommend it.
fullscalepilot Hey Eric! No, I will have to try it next time I’m up there. I’ve also been to the mustang lounge. It’s one of the only places open after the tourist season. Seems like it’s the locals place to go. They have a J3 cub prop on the wall and plenty of aviation pictures on the wall. Pretty neat spot.
I've stayed at the grand many times. It is great, I highly recommend it. It is a fairy tale just like the rest of the island.
Dan Lucky you! Yes, I agree! The island is definitely like a fairytale. So much history and so so beautiful.
That was nice I liked that
Tiberias Starling Thanks eh!!!
Awesome video! Keep pushing 💪🏽
Captain Cam Thank you Captain Cam! You’re awesome 👏🏽
Fantastic video!
Congrats!
Lovely airplane!!!
Marcos da Silva Thank you so much. She is a fun bird! Happy New Year 🥳
Excellent video. Loves me some UP. We vacation at the Soo, a couple times a year. Maybe you could do a trip following the St. Marys river from Detour up to the Soo.
Steve Dearth The U.P. is God’s country. So so beautiful for sure! That detour sounds like a good one 🤗
That would be an awesome flight. Ending with the locks!

Not sure.
I only agree with the author on one thing. Mackinaw Island is one of the coolest places in the world. I would still rather take one of the unique ferries to the Island b/c of the amazing "ground view" of the Bridge and Straights. They offer very unique views and perspectives just like flying offers. More importantly, its probably a whole lot cheaper.
topgeardel Definitely would recommend the ferry ⛴ at least once. I’d agree it’s a unique and fun experience. My preferred method is still by air.
I learned to fly 40 miles north of there in Sault Ste. Marie ON ... I cross that beast of a bridge about 5 times a year going back home ... I enjoyed your video ... Flew planes in the past Piper PA31, Cessna 401, MU2 and Citation C500 enjoyed your video nice to see familiar ground ... BTW I was based in Thunder Bay for a while crossed Superior many times in the fall is my favorite time of year !!!
NEAT!
great flight. nice landing but did you really need all that reverse. beta and a little brakes would have sufficed
I would rather use it than not. Realizing you need it once it’s too late isn’t a fun situation.
Was a big fan of the races back in the 70's
NICE!
Awesome video. I love the King Air. I would suggest to not be so aggressive going into reverse. Brakes stop planes, not props. If one prop fails to go in reverse, a serious asymmetrical condition would be created and with that width of a runway, you could see your memories passing by in slow motion. I’ve experienced that while flying for Uncle Sam in Afghanistan and trust me, it’s no fun. Keep flying and stay safe!
njvazquez Funny you mention that. Actually had that happen since this was filmed. Definitely tries to pull the aircraft off the runway. Quickly took all the reverse off. Brakes do stop planes usually but I’ve had those not do the job either and in that case the reverse really saved us! Thanks for watching and giving some good feedback.
It is actually and officially Mackinac Island, not Mackinaw Island; many people have this wrong. It is Mackinaw City and Mackinaw Bridge but Mackinac Island! Please verify and inform viewers. Safe flying, check six, sir.
Adrian Dang Partly correct. It is Mackinac Bridge, Mackinac Island, and Mackinaw City. The pronunciation is the same on all but the city is spelled differently than the Bridge and Island.
Adrian Dang It is said “The founders of Mackinaw City opted for the phonetic "aw" spelling, probably as a way to distinguish their town from Mackinac Island for confused postal carriers.”.....
THE most unique airplane built.
Dive Bar Casanova It really is a great aircraft.
nice, thanks for sharing
Sure thing.
naughty fuel flow gauge needle.
The engine start would have been a lot more interesting than two minutes of holding short.
foxtrot789 Here is the “engine start” as requested: th-cam.com/video/B66sHBsyl1E/w-d-xo.html
Last summer when I was staying on the island, I saw Griffith's duchess come in and land with what appeared to be some students.
Dan Yes, it’s a favorite. We wish we could come up more.
Aren't prop levers supposed to go full forward on approach Didn't appear that they were....and the engine rpm's seemed lower than usual for an approach...
Chuck Kirkpatrick I used to think that because in all the twins I flew that’s the way it was but in the E-90 it’s forward after touch down. Got called out on it and it’s right in the check list. Good question though.
What's the airport identifier, I'd like to go there... Would you advise flying a Piper Warrior there??
CHRIS BROWN KMCD is the identifier. There is a landing fee during the summer months but it is not much. Like $10 or $15. I would definitely fly a Piper Warrior in there. No problem at all. I think I actually have done just that before. The little planes are actually more welcome there than the big boys.
@@AviatorMark heyyyy!! Thanks alot for the response.. I'll definitely put that on my list for this come spring or summer. I'd like to meet you someday. I fly out of Valparaiso, In. (KVPZ) I was at Eagle Air for awhile, now im at Region Flyers..
CHRIS BROWN That’s so neat. Hopefully we can touch base sometime!
I took my multi checkride at Superior!
Donny Hansen Really? That’s so cool. It seems like a neat little airport.
@@AviatorMark Sky Harbor is usually my go to when I head up that way. Pretty neat area!
Two teenagers flying a king air?
Wow.
Notification gang
iVince905 And that’s why you’re the BEST!!!! 👍🏽

nice pretty airplane...
but this airplane with 2 propellers musts be opposite spins same as V-22 osprey...
not good with same spins
bestamerica Yes, counter rotating propellers are definitely favored over the traditional ones.
Note, there is no fuel on the island, so plan accordingly
Jordan Mc Very true. ⛽️
😅
your own airplane huh.....more like your daddy's airplane!!
littlebitch231 Hah, actually this is a company plane but of the three airplanes I have owned one was handed down by my parents but honestly they’re just tools like anything else. We do enjoy the work though so it makes it fun.
Just a little humorous feedback from a retired SwissAir , Swiss International A340 captain.
As far as the pilot, I have never in my life heard so many procedures in my life. If In were the young guy, I would have left your non stop talking arse on the tarmac. 😁
Although I've flown over it countless times; you kept pointing out Sky Harbor Airport. It has not been that long but I did not see desert, mountains or 1,000 Celsius temps. Unless Phoenix became tropical. 😎😎
I heard you a few times saying "ladies & gentlemen"; I know the KingAir is a nice sized business/family jet... but I did not hear any screaming kids or ruckus from the cabin. And where in the hell was the cabin crew with beverages and at least a snack? They need to be seriously retrained or let go.... lazy butts...
As far as that long bridge... Macaroni Island? (I think you said.) You guys were out in the middle of no where, you should have landed that puppy on the bridge..... be trendsetters.... that's what insurance is for...
Looks like you guys had a great time... brings back memories I can bring up, but no desire to fly again... Car or trains is my method of travel these days... Airlines and people are wacko... Your guys enjoy.. thanks for the ride..
OK THEN 😂
4:46, the longtime A&P in me immediately noticed the fluctuating fuel flow gauge for the no.2 engine. Could be a loose wire in the cannon plug for 28V power supply or for the electrical ground.
Is this something that should of been addressed prior to flight?
all fixed
