- Come on board and ride along with us Taking Airplane From Colorado to Florida and the Gulf Coast in my Cherokee Six & make a visit to the Oldest City in the Nation. St. Augustine City is an interesting and fun place full of history. Not to mention, there many advantages of doing your own Private Flights which includes being able to pack a lot of luggage and more enjoyment. Join us on this fun adventure flight to Florida. At the end of the video we will tour the city of St. Augustine (the oldest city in the nation).
Raul, the video’s are great as always, I have heard you say you are also in the restaurant business and wandering how many you have and where they are?
Hi James, thanks a lot! The restaurant is in Aurora, CO in the intersection of Parker Rd and Chambers Rd.
I love seeing this because being together as family is so excited and God is so good all the time
Bernard, I could not agree with you more. The family is the center and balance of my life. As much as I love aviation it would not be the same without my team. And above all, we are definitely God people in our family. Thank you as always my friend! 😀
Another great video. Thanks for sharing your adventures.
My Pleasure Grant! Thanks for sharing your thoughts and I appreciate you! 😀
Yeah that would be more normal on a calm clear night, you get some incredible radio range
Now that you mentioned it I do remember being able to catch Cuban radio stations from South Florida when I was younger and most often on the clear nights.
That’s why I would love to own a Cherokee Six because of what I seeing the luggage 🧳 and most of all that is the perfect aircraft for me and my family
The Cherokee Six is an awesome airplane. And it really shines in capacity to carry about half of the house as you can see from my videos 😆
Did you guys get to see Ron and Janis?
Great to see you film one of the great cities in my home state!
Hello Eugene, we did not. And yes, I love flying around Florida. Craig airport is where it all began for me in 1998 😀
Thanks for sharing your family vacation. I remember an episode of Discovery Channel's Wings, years ago, where they profiled families utilizing airplanes as "RVs". Fun following you, and your kids are getting incredible education experiences. Way to sneak it in, Mom and Dad!
Hi EJ, brother, thanks a lot for always sharing your thoughts. I really enjoy the social interaction. I need to see Wings. I can't believe I don't know about it. It's rare that I miss anything having to do with flying. I am extremely fortunate that my family enjoys aviation as much as I do. We have a lot of fun and it just would not be the same without them.
Your production has come a long way… congratulations!
Thanks for noticing Julian! I think it’s a combination of practice and the drive to get better. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
@@FlyingDirty keep it up!! I am a 320 capt for Jetblue and thinking of getting back to GA flying… your videos are informative and educational. Plus see another Latin be successful alway bring joy to my hart!
@@julianrodriguez1295 Thank you 🙏
Just found your channel. Keep up the good work. Yes, we picked up Japanese controllers or something while flying near Detroit once. Very odd
Thank you 😊 and here I was thinking picking up a Mexican controller was odd 😀. Thanks for sharing and welcome to the channel my friend. God Bless you!
It’s great to see you and family having such a good vacation. Owning an airplane makes the world small ! God Bless !
Hello Jimmy! I hope your are doing well my friend! I totally agree! Because of our business rushed life the airplane allows us to do many family trips not possible without it. I am glad to be able to spread the enjoyment and reach out to people that may think that family and general aviation don't fit together. Like you said, it makes vacationing fun and adventurous. I am also extremely fortunate to have such a wonderful lady that enjoys the heck out of aviation and who is probably more audacious than I am. Thanks for such a moving and inspiring comment Jimmy! 😀
Excellent video!
Muchas Gracias Eduardo! Buen día 😃
I started instruction on the island. Back in the mid 80s at Isla Grande F. S. Always been fascinated by flying. Now reaching my 60s I have La Fiebre again!
@@eduardomendez677 Isla Grande is a pretty cool airport. You have to get the cure 😀
Raul, I live 3.5 hours by car and 1 hour by plane away.... I love St. Augustine, it's been a while since my family has been there....
As always, great video, and thanks for sharing!
Hi Dave, I used to like visiting St. Augustine back in my younger days. My family now lives about 30 minutes away. By the way, I didn’t see your email. I’ll check the spam folder just in case.
My wife and I moved from Orlando to Denver about 16 years ago. We used to love going to St. Augustine. The Columbia Restaurant is fantastic. Great video. Can’t wait to see what’s next. Take care and fly safe.
Great point. You bring back memories. The Colombia restaurant is really nice and I used to go there as often as I possibly could when I lived in Jacksonville.
May I respectfully ask, why did you name your channel “flying dirty”? I just found this channel and I really enjoy the videos I’ve seen! I’m planning to go to flight school and this inspires me!
Being “dirty” in aviation means having your flaps and/or landing gear or speed brakes out. He’s playing off of that.
I am extremely glad to hear that you are enjoying the videos my friend. I made this channel for that exact reason; to help inspire and promote General Aviation in a positive and responsible manner. Zachary Norman has responded correctly! Coincidently, I just finished editing a video where I start off talking about why I made up Flying Dirty. Ever since I can remember I have been attracted to aviation. But more so, when an airplane is in a dirty configuration (with the flaps and landing gear down in a landing "dirty" configuration). Additionally, setting up for landing is my favorite part of a flight. Thanks for asking and being a part of Flying Dirty!
Saludos a todos 😊😊
Hola Comadre! Muchos saludos y abrazos para todos 😀. Espero que le esten gustando los videos. Mas algunos tienen un poco de Reggaeton 😀
Yes it happened to me before. I am out of Brown Field in San Diego by the border so 5-6 years ago everyone started to pick a frequency from Mexico. After so many complaints the FAA changed the frequency. I bet you if this continues in the area you are flying they will change it.
That was very interesting! I am bilingual but my ATC skills in Spanish are not muy bueno! 😀
Great videos. Where did you fly into that had free camping? I can't seem to find the video. I wanted to show my wife. Many thanks.
Thanks a lot Chad! I've gone to a few airports with free camping but the one I talked about on the video was West Yellowstone airport. It was pretty awesome and probably my top rated trip.
How about I work on a video with our favorite vacation trips so you guys can see it?
@@FlyingDirty many thanks!
Señor Raul, your channel came up as a suggestion. I got excited when I saw you at the FBO at KDAL. I have been to that fbo several times.
I can explain the phenomenon you experienced picking up ATC in Mexico. As a pilot you are familiar with temperature inversions. There is an interesting thing that happens on VHF frequencies during an inversion called “tropospheric ducting.” What happens is the signal enters the troposphere and it is carried at that layer in the atmosphere as if it was in a pipe for long distances. See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tropospheric_propagation for more information.
Now that is by far the absolute best explanation I have yet heard. That totally makes sense! And guess what? There was an inversion all the way from Texas - Alabama. I love flying through Dallas. I lived there for many years and have a lot of family (almost all of Dallas 😀). Thanks for the explanation! I had a comment from a guy claiming to be a NASA engineer that said the radio was going bad. I told him, not likely since the radios are newer and it happened with both units from different manufactures. He got offended and I had to remove the message. Just goes to show what good is being an engineer without common sense? Thank you again!
Awesome as always! Going to have to get some Flying Dirty merch. Very cool to see you still fly visual approaches when the weather is nice. Do you mainly file all IFR flight plans and just change to VFR should the weather be good at your destination? I’ve recently joined a Facebook group of airplane sales looking and researching for my purchase sometime in the future. Airplanes are high commodity right now so the price tags are huge. Out of curiosity how many hours do you have total time?
Hi John! I will just about always file for an IFR flight plan when doing long cross country flights mainly for the added security and to stay proficient. A visual approach is actually one of the IFR clearances you get on an IFR flight plan when the runway is in sight. As I got to around six miles from the airfield I told ATC that I had the airport in sight and then the cleared me for the visual approach and it is virtually converted into VFR from that point on. But I really enjoyed making those turns in the pattern. Thanks John! 😀
@@FlyingDirty interesting I didn’t know that. My IFR rating is something I hope to be working on this year.
@@johnford9216 you will definitely enjoy your IFR rating.
How long was the flight time from TX to FL?
Hi Rob, great question! I had to dig it up from my flight log records. It really depends from what part of Texas to What part of Florida. From Dallas you can make it to the Florida panhandle in as little as 3 hrs or less with a good tail wind. But From Dallas to Palm Coast (the east coast of Florida) it took us 4:45. We also had a good tail wind all the way. Going back, however, added close to two hours more because of a headwind. Nevertheless, driving would have been around 16hrs. Thanks for asking Rob 😀

Now that is about the most sense full explanation I have heard and it totally makes sense. Not to mention, there was inversion all the way from Texas to the panhandle of Florida. There was some so called genius that credited himself with being some kind of NASA engineer that said the radio was going bad with some kind of senseless scientific explanation. I then told him that I seriously doubt it was the radio since thee phenomenon happened with both (different brand) radios. He got offended bragging about how he was this so called engineer and now said both radios were bad. I basically thought, what good is being an engineer for NASA but have no common sense. Thanks for that and I appreciate you sharing the information with me. Now finally something meaningful 😀.
