Party time 310 pilot , you guys seem to have a great time on your adventures. Thanks for showing us around really enjoyed seeing all those different places.
Kevin & Jamie, your a wonderful couple. It’s a pleasure to be part of the experiences you have.. Your the blueprint of the perfect marriage.. Hopefully everybody will see that life is excellent when you have your gal by your side.. When I power paraglide my gal is there watching and waiting for me too.. Bless ya..
Kevin and Jamie, I hope you don't mind by my wife and I are living vicariously through you and your adventures. You are living a life that 99% of us can only dream about. Keep the videos and travels coming.
I got my draft notice in 1965 and joined the Navy. I was one of the lucky ones and served 4 years in Florida at NAS Key West, JAX, and Cecil Field. After growing up in Massachusetts, I thought I was in a different world. My wife and I now live in Southeastern Louisiana and just a couple of hours to all of those beautiful beaches in the pan handle. I was a full time air technician maintainer in the Mass Air Guard for 30 years and when we had the F-106 we did our 2 weeks active duty at Tyndall AFB every year in Panama City Fl. Boys night out for 2 weeks! Florida and the Gulf Coast are the most beautiful areas of the U.S. Great recap Jaime.
Glad you enjoyed the video! Very cool assignments you had back then. Much better than SE Asia. :) The FL panhandle are my favorite beaches. Thanks for your service....military and police!
Glad you are home safe and sound. That was a great recap of Florida. Brought back memories of Key West and lots of sailing and power boating when I lived in FL. Fun times with Lady J dancing on the bar! Great video you will look back on many times. Thanks for sharing Kevin, Hope 2020 brings you health, wealth, and happiness. Happy New Year
Kevin, looked like you were needing a nap in this video. Happy New Year Jamie and Kevin. I am looking forward to 2020, thank you for sharing your adventures with us.
Kevin, thank you for the awesome video. Jaime, that was a fantastic recap, thank you. Looking forward to many many more videos with input from both of you. Again, thank you both.
Great recap, thanks. Destin is our favorite vacation spot. 1.5 hr flight from my home base KAPS. Also we frequent the Gulport area casinos, not to gamble, but to eat. (Snow Crabs). Lots of cool places to hang out in Bay St. Louis during summer too.
Happy New Years to "The Gulf Coast Girl" and Mr. Go Dawgs! At least Kevin's team set right with that last win! Shout out to Caroline Jones for providing Jamie's sound track for her trip and Jimmy Buffet for the assist on the Margaritaville vibes! Cheers from Hollywood South AKA the ATL! Blue skies for 2020!
@@310Pilot You to bro! Maybe dawgs get it together next year! Keep up the great content! Enjoying it down here in the Hollywood of the south! All the best to Gulf Coast Girl! Big fans of Caroline Jones! Great theme song for Jamie! All best in 2020!
Great recap Jamie! Glad you guys ate at The Hound in Auburn. One of our Fav's. Key West looked fun. I want to fly there sometime this year. Thanks as always for sharing!
Very nice re-cap. Old Beverly Claire?? I don't think I've ever heard you call your plane by a name. Thanks for making my year much better. Can't wait for more new adventures in 2020. Fly safe as always. Really do enjoy your channel!
Thank you for the kind words and support Bill! Jaime named her that right when we brought her home. She throws it out there from time to time. :) Looking forward to some fun 2020 aviation adventures.
Kevin thanks for sharing!!! When I watch your videos I can see the love you and your wife share!!! It's a beautiful thing!!!........I hope 2020 brings much more fun to your family!!!
I get the reluctance to only spend one night/day at stop. Seems like you are not there long enough to get to a feel for the place and you are packing up again. The good take away is that you know where you want to go on the next trip and spend more of your time. Hope the Holidays have been good to you and your family. Now we can all focus on wishing for an early spring, LOL.
I think we are in the same boat now Arch. 2 night min's. We are still in a bit of explore mode and narrowing down our favorite places for more extended stays. :)
Feel as though I know you guys - really enjoy following your travels and getting a 'backstage' view of your magnificent country. Greetings and all the best for 2020 from my family here in Macclesfield, Cheshire (north west England, ½ hour by car from Manchester Airport) in the UK. 🇬🇧🇺🇲😎👍
Walking the beach in Biloxi is a thing....when something going on like “ Cruzn the Coast“.7000 cars of all types in town....events all over coastal Mississippi. ..Gulf Shores is a good spot to with the airport really close by.
I think we just missed the nice beaches on our drive in from the Gulfport airport. We will have to find them next time we are there. A local mentioned something about a notice to not get in the water due to something I thought??
As always a great vid. Enjoyed the recap and all of the gulf coast swing vids. My wife and I would be right there with ya. Same speed.. looking forward to 2020
hey guys happy new year im glad u all had a rad coool time at the gulf swing it loooks gorgeous down there ive never beeen to the gulf or key west i hope i make it down there sooon safe flying and lots of fun
Great summary. Ditto on the meat tenderizer for jelly fish stings. i grew up in Corpus Christi and Man o Wars were prevalent. Need to make a Keywest run soon. Need to check out that VRBO Jamie speaks of.
Great recap of your trip! What a great time, made me wish I was your age again (heck everything does that lol) but would be such fun hanging out with you two! Thanks for sharing your trip with us so we can come along vicariously and enjoy the sun and fun, sorry you got stung Jaimie! Sounds like Kevin you have been stung before! I never have been. We get a bunch washed up on our Oregon coast, purple looking things. Love your videos & adventures!
Key West is the best! We have a place just south of KFLL but don't go much! BTW Kevin, lots of yawning going on, should have used the "yawn damper"! Thanks for starting my weekend in a great way guys.
Awesome vacay! Glad you guys had such a great time. Nicely produced episode. As always. Now I have a lot of new destinations here in my sunny Florida to check out.
@@310Pilot I'm hoping to explore the midwest you've shown us all as well. Some of the destinations you have featured look like such fun - like Put in Bay. I have a very longtime friend from high school living in Evanston who went to Northwestern and basically never left. It would be great to visit the area and see old friends and new - but all the air traffic is a bit intimidating for us mere mortals who don't have your tower insight and confidence.
Happy New Year, glad yall enjoyed . . . nice to rag along. Thanks for sharing. I was in Key West in 1961, surprise surprise your photos at Flagler and Duval streets did not look familiar🤣😂🤣.
We spend 7 days every year at Destin on are family vacation. Try looking east of Destin on Hwy 30A toward Seaside, Seaside is where they filmed the Truman show with Jim Carry, it’s a cool place. Also if you go west of Biloxi along the beach,there’s Long Beach Pass Christian and Bay St Louis across the bridge it has some nice pubs there.
I enjoyed your and Jamie’s vacation videos! We love Destin. I used to fish there at the East Pass Marina on the “Bill Collector! Great times😎 Happy New Year. You guys have your work cut out top top ‘19! Looking forward to ‘20.
You guys are my favorite "Favorite Flyin High Partying ATC Couple" that I watch. What! are there any others, nope not in your category. Honestly I wish I were younger but I can keep up but cant consume alcohol and bad back. Old Fart stuff. Thank you guys for all your videos they are awesome and you have given me ideas as to where to go and explore. Maybe a trip to Key West is in order.
That's how I feel too! I'm an old fart now but in my 30's I would of had a ball hanging out with them! Still would! But I'm no fun anymore lol and I got all my partying done in my 1st 30 years and that was 30 years ago! Great people!
Thank you Thomas (and Don)! That is a really touching comment for us. We are very appreciative of all your support and hope to be able to continue making fun videos for ya'll for years to come. :)
Hey Kevin, Walter - the South Elgin Fire guy. You were kind enough to give me a tour of the Tracon last. Seems like you guys had an awesome time traveling. The wife an I like the videos. She wondering where Jamie got her headset? Oh, I’ve been meaning to tell ya ..... nice job getting the new sun visors!
Howdy Walter....hope all has been well. Glad ya'll are still enjoying the channel! Jaime's headset is a Quiet Technology Halo. She really likes them...and the new Rosen sun visors. :)
Next time you come to the gulf coast you need to come to Jack Edward's airport in Gulf shores , Alabama just east of Mobile bay..if you like Destin you'll love staying in Orangebeach, Al. On the Alabama /Florida line on the Gulf..you must go to the bar Flora-Bama it's a must see..we have the blue water and sugar white beaches..a favorite among the south..
I saw this earlier. Sorry I forgot to ring the bell LOL. I'm gonna be takin a honeymoon soon and I would like to know where you would go. This will be my second and, as a retired Marine, I have been all over the Pacific so that is out. Looking for closer to home. Your thoughts about the gulf or even the Caribbean. Thanks guys. Gunny
Thanks for your service and support Gunny!! I'd say the Bahamas but not the busy resorts. Pick one of the outer islands unless you prefer the crowds. Maybe Eleuthera?
If I recall from previous views, you have children. How in blazes did you manage a trip like this? Good example of how to nurture your relationship amidst the stresses of parenting.
@NonyaBusiness! Nope: they are young, like mid single digits. Pretty easy to look through their channel and see their kids (here's 1: th-cam.com/video/GqSpVkzBGG4/w-d-xo.html). You may be thinking of another channel.
We do have young-in's of various ages that we love very much. This whole trip was done in 6 days. I think it's healthy to have some adult trips from time to time and our kids have very loving family members that cherish some alone time with them as well. :)
You crammed in a lot of interesting places and entertainment around the Gulf swing, which was brilliant. Maybe you could put yourselves forward to becoming Holiday travel correspondents, as a sideline ! haha !
At 9:41 is that an anvil , maritime edition in the back ground? Great pic! Been watching the 310 pilot for about 2 years, and rather enjoy the flying , but I don't. I do fly fish though and the waters on the Bahama trip were just b u t full. The realism of your adventures are truely drawing people to your site, "thats so cool". Have you both skydived? Did it once and when I think about the experience I still get a rush through my frontal lobe and I can see Cincy and Dayton at the same time. Your control panel looks great with the Newbies side by side . How long was Jamie an atc? Just really enjoy your visual presentation of life with an airplane. The kids are growing up quick? Phil , Philman, Mr.Phil, "the professor", Pheel, Kinkman, Philly Chilly, Philbert (the nut), ps. You didn't stay long enough at Congo Town did you Jamie?
Howdy Phil! Glad you've been enjoying the channel the past 2 years and thank you for the continued support! That was an anvil there and we flew around it the next morning on the way to Biloxi. I have not been skydiving. Jaime did once...hope to get her to do it again so I can film it. Maybe I will get the courage to do it as well. :) I LOVE how the panel has turned out. The new Avidyne/STEC avionics are amazing. P.S. No, we didn't get to stay at Congo Town long enough. I'm not sure a week would have been. :)
I had the job of flying the first Associated Press Photos out of Gulfport the day after Hurricane Camille. I flew the AP Head photographer from Mobile to Gulfport in a Cherokee 140 and was cut out of the pattern on landing twice before getting in. The tower was inoperative and there were aircraft everywhere looking at the damage. I saw everything from a J3 Cub to P-51 Mustang on the tarmac at the FBO. I thought it would be a short flight and just pick up the film and return to Mobile. However it was 98 degrees and no water anywhere and we were on the ground for at least 3 hours waiting for all the photographers to bring there film. On departure I had planned to fly the beach on the way back to Mobile but there were so many aircraft flying the beach i decided to climb to altitude and get out of all the crazy traffic and avoid a midair collusion. Five days later I flew medications and vaccines to a hospital in Bay St. Louis. At the time I was working as Service Manager for a local medical supply company and was the only employee with a commerical pilots license.
That's really cool that you helped out so much during that James! They have the airspace really controller now days after natural disasters. For sure helps keep it safer.
What I wouldn't give for a Gulf Coast Swing RIGHT NOW, lol! Still 3 months of this cold crap to deal with up here, and I'm sick of it already! 😂 Thanks for sharing all the footage. Looked like you guys had a blast! Glad that jellyfish sting wasn't too bad. I've seen pictures & heard the stories of some real nasty ones. Can't wait to see your 2020 adventures. Thanks for all your efforts in bringing us these great videos, Kevin & Jamie! 👍🍻
Glad you enjoyed the series and thanks for the support Smitty! We've been having an unusually mild winter here in N. Illinois. I'll take it compared to the usual. Looking forward to some fun 2020 aviation adventures. :)
@@310Pilot - I complain alot, but we're actually having the same thing. Normally we'll have single digit and a few below zero nights, but we've been in the low to upper 30's at night (and day) for a week or so. No major snow, either. I'll take it, too! :)
I didn't count exactly how many times you yawned Kevin but it does beg the question? What the heck did you two do all night long before flight time? HaaHaaHaaHaaHaaHaa Great recap Jaime of all the events. I had fun just visualizing all the fun you had. Happy New Year you two-!
Glad you enjoyed it James! I do make sure to get some good sleep the night before flights but this being the last leg was starting to catch up to me. I shouldn't have skipped the coffee that morning. :)
Glad you enjoyed the series Jim! Back to work indeed. That always seems to get in the way of fun. :) We aren't for sure about our 2020 travels yet. The plane is getting painted and hope to have that back in the next 4-5 weeks. The annual will last for 2 weeks after that. I'd like to make it to Mackinac Island, hopefully the north east and maybe a west coast swing of some sorts.
Looks like it was a great trip and some of the hotels were beautiful. I'm surprised they didn't stop you from filming in the casino, I got told by security I Vegas to stop or they would take my phone. Continue flying safe.
Glad you enjoyed it Robert...it was a blast! I'm not sure if they have a problem with it. We did it openly (albeit quickly) and no one said anything to us. :)
Jamie/Kevin, nice trip recap! There is no doubt you guys were having a lot of fun during the whole trip! Jamie, you had some nice dancing moves on that bar! :-) I guess the next VID we will see Kevin dancing on that same bar after a few more drinks! :-) Again thanks for sharing, it was most an enjoyable ride along! :-) Don/Ohio
Absolutely blissful trip, another awesome experience.; places, activities, flights, companions; especially your lovely wife I'd go to the end of the world with a co-pilot like her :) ..When was this Gulf Coast Swing actually I wonder if your trips match your upload order?
Glad you enjoyed it James!! I am a very lucky man. I always post the videos in chronological order. I think the Gulf Coast Swing was in the end of October. Next Friday's flight is from November. I'm close to getting caught up. :)
Hi Kevin and Jaime, Wow, been awhile! (Hope you get this) Nothing new on u-tube yet from you, hope all is well. Is 771bc still in the paint shop? Would like to see an update! 😉
310 Pilot I have been enjoying your vacation videos. My wife and I have gone down to St George Island in Florida. It has an airstrip. www.airnav.com/airport/F47 . We really like it. It’s really quiet. It has 1 old hotel on the beach. The Blue Parrot has great food and a Tiki bar on the beach with 4 margarita machines with frozen Fat Tuesday daiquiris. We are planning to go back ASAP.
You have to come to the gulf coast during one of the big events like “cruisin the coast” if you like cars. It’s a week long and the cars will blow you away
Oddly enough I think we may have been there during that. We saw tons of old cars cruising around and people were out all over the place on the side of the roads just checking them out. Looked pretty cool.
What is the headset that Jaime uses? My wife is interested in them. Are they ANR? We love your channel, BTW! Keep up the great work! Thanks in advance....
Hi Jaime, hi Kevin! Yeah, you just can't spend one day in Key West because there is just simply too much to see and do here! Not to mention would so like to share good conversation and drinks with you both! Come home soon guys!!!
Just an idea for a future vid if you get bored. Would be really cool to see you doing the trip planning ahead of time and the actual coordination with the airports (even if it's just a call or whatever). I don't have my license and that part is intriguing to me (e.g. do you get a hangar, how do you get your car sorted, how much notice, etc)
Some of the Beaches in Biloxi/Gulfport are some of the best in the Gulf. Long pure white sand beaches. However, none of the Casinos in Biloxi are close to them. I was in the very first class to go through the ATC Academy after the strike in the early 80s. Was assigned to Memphis ARTCC. Since I live in Gulfport, next time you're in the area give me a shout and you'll have your own personal tour guide!!
Thanks for the offer Doyle! I don't remember visiting the beaches much when I was there for tech school. It is hard to beat the Destin beaches though. We will have to hit you up next time to explore the area more.
Your videos are fantastic , Jamie you are beautiful beyond anyone's imagination. Plus a fantastic personality, Kevin I have said it before and I'll say it again you are one lucky man.
Party time 310 pilot , you guys seem to have a great time on your adventures. Thanks for showing us around really enjoyed seeing all those different places.
Glad you enjoyed it James...we had a blast there! Looking forward to some fun 2020 aviation adventures. :)

When I power paraglide my gal is there watching and waiting for me too..
Bless ya..
Thank you John! I am very blessed to have her. :)

I enjoyed your and Jamie’s vacation videos! We love Destin. I used to fish there at the East Pass Marina on the “Bill Collector! Great times😎 Happy New Year. You guys have your work cut out top top ‘19! Looking forward to ‘20.
Glad you enjoyed our '19 adventures Terry! Destin has always and will always be a favorite for me as well. Looking forward to '20 adventures!
You guys are my favorite "Favorite Flyin High Partying ATC Couple" that I watch. What! are there any others, nope not in your category. Honestly I wish I were younger but I can keep up but cant consume alcohol and bad back. Old Fart stuff. Thank you guys for all your videos they are awesome and you have given me ideas as to where to go and explore. Maybe a trip to Key West is in order.
That's how I feel too! I'm an old fart now but in my 30's I would of had a ball hanging out with them! Still would! But I'm no fun anymore lol and I got all my partying done in my 1st 30 years and that was 30 years ago! Great people!
Thank you Thomas (and Don)! That is a really touching comment for us. We are very appreciative of all your support and hope to be able to continue making fun videos for ya'll for years to come. :)
That just looked like all kinds of fun.
Hey Kevin, Walter - the South Elgin Fire guy. You were kind enough to give me a tour of the Tracon last. Seems like you guys had an awesome time traveling. The wife an I like the videos. She wondering where Jamie got her headset? Oh, I’ve been meaning to tell ya ..... nice job getting the new sun visors!
Howdy Walter....hope all has been well. Glad ya'll are still enjoying the channel! Jaime's headset is a Quiet Technology Halo. She really likes them...and the new Rosen sun visors. :)
Stay safe guys!! Lot of us now are just looking at the world when it was working lol.. Tough times
Next time you come to the gulf coast you need to come to Jack Edward's airport in Gulf shores , Alabama just east of Mobile bay..if you like Destin you'll love staying in Orangebeach, Al. On the Alabama /Florida line on the Gulf..you must go to the bar Flora-Bama it's a must see..we have the blue water and sugar white beaches..a favorite among the south..
Thank you for the suggestion! We will for sure keep it in mind. Sounds like a perfect place for us. :)
Looks like a fantastic trip! Thanks for taking us on the ride!
Glad you enjoyed it...we had a blast!!
Ya’ll have a great life. Love ❤️ the show. Excellent camera set up and editing. 👍
I saw this earlier. Sorry I forgot to ring the bell LOL. I'm gonna be takin a honeymoon soon and I would like to know where you would go. This will be my second and, as a retired Marine, I have been all over the Pacific so that is out. Looking for closer to home. Your thoughts about the gulf or even the Caribbean. Thanks guys. Gunny
Thanks for your service and support Gunny!! I'd say the Bahamas but not the busy resorts. Pick one of the outer islands unless you prefer the crowds. Maybe Eleuthera?
@@310Pilot Thank you sir. I will look into it. Semper Fi!
BTW, Bought one of your shirts. Fiance LOVES it.
If I recall from previous views, you have children. How in blazes did you manage a trip like this? Good example of how to nurture your relationship amidst the stresses of parenting.
I was wondering myself, who took care of the kids? LOL
@NonyaBusiness! Nope: they are young, like mid single digits. Pretty easy to look through their channel and see their kids (here's 1: th-cam.com/video/GqSpVkzBGG4/w-d-xo.html). You may be thinking of another channel.
That’s what God made Grandparents for.
sorry but look back a few months ago and seen the little guys.
We do have young-in's of various ages that we love very much. This whole trip was done in 6 days. I think it's healthy to have some adult trips from time to time and our kids have very loving family members that cherish some alone time with them as well. :)
Great channel all your take offs & landings are identical. Do you ever fly at night?
We do occasionally. I have a night flight into Chicago Midway on the channel if you want to check it out. :) Glad you're enjoying the channel Ernie.
Love your videos guys, keep'em coming.
That looks so fun. You guys have the life! Happy New Year
It was a blast Billy! Hope you have a Happy New Year as well. :)
Looks like you all had a great time great video thanks for sharing
You're welcome Steve....we had a blast!
You crammed in a lot of interesting places and entertainment around the Gulf swing, which was brilliant. Maybe you could put yourselves forward to becoming Holiday travel correspondents, as a sideline ! haha !
Ha ha...glad you enjoyed our crammed vacation Barry! With work and kids, we try to squeeze the most out of free time. :)
Brings back good memories last time I was there about 10 years ago...
Happy we could bring back some fond memories. :)
Teasers, duval street - oh, wow :) thumbs up.
Ha ha..glad you enjoyed it Robert!!
At 9:41 is that an anvil , maritime edition in the back ground? Great pic! Been watching the 310 pilot for about 2 years, and rather enjoy the flying , but I don't. I do fly fish though and the waters on the Bahama trip were just b u t full. The realism of your adventures are truely drawing people to your site, "thats so cool". Have you both skydived? Did it once and when I think about the experience I still get a rush through my frontal lobe and I can see Cincy and Dayton at the same time. Your control panel looks great with the Newbies side by side . How long was Jamie an atc? Just really enjoy your visual presentation of life with an airplane. The kids are growing up quick?
Phil , Philman, Mr.Phil, "the professor", Pheel, Kinkman, Philly Chilly, Philbert (the nut),
ps. You didn't stay long enough at Congo Town did you Jamie?
Howdy Phil! Glad you've been enjoying the channel the past 2 years and thank you for the continued support! That was an anvil there and we flew around it the next morning on the way to Biloxi. I have not been skydiving. Jaime did once...hope to get her to do it again so I can film it. Maybe I will get the courage to do it as well. :) I LOVE how the panel has turned out. The new Avidyne/STEC avionics are amazing.
P.S. No, we didn't get to stay at Congo Town long enough. I'm not sure a week would have been. :)
@@310Pilot Nice to get a reply from comments. Have a wonderful New Year!
Sounds like a fun vacation.
It was a blast! :)
I had the job of flying the first Associated Press Photos out of Gulfport the day after Hurricane Camille. I flew the AP Head photographer from Mobile to Gulfport in a Cherokee 140 and was cut out of the pattern on landing twice before getting in. The tower was inoperative and there were aircraft everywhere looking at the damage. I saw everything from a J3 Cub to P-51 Mustang on the tarmac at the FBO. I thought it would be a short flight and just pick up the film and return to Mobile. However it was 98 degrees and no water anywhere and we were on the ground for at least 3 hours waiting for all the photographers to bring there film. On departure I had planned to fly the beach on the way back to Mobile but there were so many aircraft flying the beach i decided to climb to altitude and get out of all the crazy traffic and avoid a midair collusion. Five days later I flew medications and vaccines to a hospital in Bay St. Louis. At the time I was working as Service Manager for a local medical supply company and was the only employee with a commerical pilots license.
That's really cool that you helped out so much during that James! They have the airspace really controller now days after natural disasters. For sure helps keep it safer.
What I wouldn't give for a Gulf Coast Swing RIGHT NOW, lol! Still 3 months of this cold crap to deal with up here, and I'm sick of it already! 😂
Thanks for sharing all the footage. Looked like you guys had a blast! Glad that jellyfish sting wasn't too bad. I've seen pictures & heard the stories of some real nasty ones.
Can't wait to see your 2020 adventures. Thanks for all your efforts in bringing us these great videos, Kevin & Jamie! 👍🍻
Glad you enjoyed the series and thanks for the support Smitty! We've been having an unusually mild winter here in N. Illinois. I'll take it compared to the usual. Looking forward to some fun 2020 aviation adventures. :)
@@310Pilot - I complain alot, but we're actually having the same thing. Normally we'll have single digit and a few below zero nights, but we've been in the low to upper 30's at night (and day) for a week or so. No major snow, either. I'll take it, too! :)
Great recap guys! I never been stung by a jellyfish tho!
Glad you enjoyed it! I'd say to not add that to the bucket list....not very comfy. :)
Sound and looked like yall had a great time.
It was a blast Keith!
Good times Kevin and Jaime......good times!
Glad you enjoyed it David!
I didn't count exactly how many times you yawned Kevin but it does beg the question? What the heck did you two do all night long before flight time? HaaHaaHaaHaaHaaHaa Great recap Jaime of all the events. I had fun just visualizing all the fun you had. Happy New Year you two-!
Glad you enjoyed it James! I do make sure to get some good sleep the night before flights but this being the last leg was starting to catch up to me. I shouldn't have skipped the coffee that morning. :)
That is an awesome hat, my wife got one while down there Jan 2019. Irish Kevin’s is pretty amazing!
It was a fun place for sure Vincent....we really enjoyed Key West!
Back to work, guys!! What do you think your next adventure will be?? Great series of videos...as usual :)
Glad you enjoyed the series Jim! Back to work indeed. That always seems to get in the way of fun. :) We aren't for sure about our 2020 travels yet. The plane is getting painted and hope to have that back in the next 4-5 weeks. The annual will last for 2 weeks after that. I'd like to make it to Mackinac Island, hopefully the north east and maybe a west coast swing of some sorts.
Looks like it was a great trip and some of the hotels were beautiful. I'm surprised they didn't stop you from filming in the casino, I got told by security I Vegas to stop or they would take my phone. Continue flying safe.
Glad you enjoyed it Robert...it was a blast! I'm not sure if they have a problem with it. We did it openly (albeit quickly) and no one said anything to us. :)
Jamie/Kevin, nice trip recap! There is no doubt you guys were having a lot of fun during the whole trip! Jamie, you had some nice dancing moves on that bar! :-) I guess the next VID we will see Kevin dancing on that same bar after a few more drinks! :-) Again thanks for sharing, it was most an enjoyable ride along! :-) Don/Ohio
Glad you enjoyed it Don! I assure you NO ONE wants to see me dancing on a bar. :)
Absolutely blissful trip, another awesome experience.; places, activities, flights, companions; especially your lovely wife I'd go to the end of the world with a co-pilot like her :) ..When was this Gulf Coast Swing actually I wonder if your trips match your upload order?
Glad you enjoyed it James!! I am a very lucky man. I always post the videos in chronological order. I think the Gulf Coast Swing was in the end of October. Next Friday's flight is from November. I'm close to getting caught up. :)
Great video guys! Looks like a fun trip. 👍
Thanks Harold...it was a blast!
Glad you like the Golden Nuggett, I'll let the General manager know next time I see him. Kevin how long where you stationed at KAFB?
It was great Mark! I was only there for a few months for ATC training before shipping over to Eglin AFB in Destin, FL.
I have not heard the swing term before is it short for "swing on By"?
Enjoyed it. We go to Pensacola Beach!
Glad you enjoyed it Joseph! I enjoy Pensacola as well. :)
cool videos be happy to give y'all a tour of Destin next time..
Tampa Armature Works is the name of the old building with the various restaurants and bars.
Hi Kevin and Jaime,
Wow, been awhile!
(Hope you get this)
Nothing new on u-tube yet from you, hope all is well.
Is 771bc still in the paint shop?
Would like to see an update!
😉
I had a great time. Thanks for letting me tag along on your vacation. :)
Glad you enjoyed it Ken! Looking forward to some 2020 aviation adventures. :)
Was Jamie in gymnastics in high school? She has some mannerisms that my oldest daughter has.
She sure was. :)
310 Pilot I have been enjoying your vacation videos. My wife and I have gone down to St George Island in Florida. It has an airstrip. www.airnav.com/airport/F47 . We really like it. It’s really quiet. It has 1 old hotel on the beach. The Blue Parrot has great food and a Tiki bar on the beach with 4 margarita machines with frozen Fat Tuesday daiquiris. We are planning to go back ASAP.
You have to come to the gulf coast during one of the big events like “cruisin the coast” if you like cars. It’s a week long and the cars will blow you away
Oddly enough I think we may have been there during that. We saw tons of old cars cruising around and people were out all over the place on the side of the roads just checking them out. Looked pretty cool.
Wondering what editing software you use?
Thank you guys so much. I can't wait to see where we go next. lol
You're very welcome G! We are looking forward to some fun aviation adventures in 2020. :)
What is the headset that Jaime uses? My wife is interested in them. Are they ANR? We love your channel, BTW! Keep up the great work! Thanks in advance....
Glad you're enjoying the channel Alan! She uses the Quiet Technology Halo's and loves them. :)
Hi Jaime, hi Kevin!
Yeah, you just can't spend one day in Key West because there is just simply too much to see and do here! Not to mention would so like to share good conversation and drinks with you both!
Come home soon guys!!!
We'll be back again Tony and we'll try to take you up on the offer. :)
@@310Pilot Sweet!!!
Just an idea for a future vid if you get bored. Would be really cool to see you doing the trip planning ahead of time and the actual coordination with the airports (even if it's just a call or whatever). I don't have my license and that part is intriguing to me (e.g. do you get a hangar, how do you get your car sorted, how much notice, etc)
Thank you for the suggestion. I will work to incorporate some of that in a future video. :)
Some of the Beaches in Biloxi/Gulfport are some of the best in the Gulf. Long pure white sand beaches. However, none of the Casinos in Biloxi are close to them. I was in the very first class to go through the ATC Academy after the strike in the early 80s. Was assigned to Memphis ARTCC. Since I live in Gulfport, next time you're in the area give me a shout and you'll have your own personal tour guide!!
Thanks for the offer Doyle! I don't remember visiting the beaches much when I was there for tech school. It is hard to beat the Destin beaches though. We will have to hit you up next time to explore the area more.
Do you hand fly a holding pattern or does your computer do it?
I have done it a bunch by hand before getting our new autopilot. Our new autopilot (STEC 3100) takes care of it now. :)
Thanks for getting back to me love your videos wish I had that technology back in my day
Your videos are fantastic , Jamie you are beautiful beyond anyone's imagination. Plus a fantastic personality, Kevin I have said it before and I'll say it again you are one lucky man.
Thank you Robert...I'm a VERY lucky man! :)
As always,, very enjoyable! Thank you for sharing...😊
Thank you Phil...glad you enjoyed it!
