Have been watching your vids and must say you are setting a great example for all aspiring young and old pilots in flying by the reg’s. Thanks for letting us watch.
A big thumbs up to you for encouraging young folks to get their pilot's certificate. Very cool of you to give of your time and aircraft to take him up for a flight! Kudos!
First of all I want to thank you for all your efforts and time you have devoted to this chanel. As an aviation enthusiast I have truly gotten a lot of pleasure watching everyone of the videos you have posted. I did get my private Pilot single engine land certificate back in the 80's but I don't fly anymore. Circumstances just happened but aviation is still in my blood. One of the greatest experiences I had was being able to meet CAPT. E.B. Jeppesen. Back in 1991 I happened to work for a company in Denver and the building was owned by Mr. Jeppesen. It just so happened to be that the manager of the business was friends with Jeppesen. Well this manager knew that I was an aviation buff. One day while at work he came up to me and said He needed me to make a personal package delivery. I said no problem. This delivery was to be made to Capt. Jepp. himself right to the door step of his house! I couldn't believe it. I was only 23 at the time and I remember that during this period, the new Denver International Airport was being built along with the Terminal being named after Jeppesen in his honor. Well, to wrap up this story, when I got to his house I rang the door bell and his wife answered the door; if you know the history of Mr. Jeppesen then you know about her background way back in the day when she worked for United Airlines. She welcomed me into their house and took me into the study/office where the CAPT. was. I remember just being so overwhelmed at the sight of the photos he had displayed of some of the people he became friends with over the decades. Does Jimmy Doolittle ring a bell? Jeppesen was a very humble man and to this day I cherish that opportunity I had to meet him. I'll never forget that manager of the company I worked for that gave me that chance of a lifetime to meet the man that pioneered the path for aviation the way he did. I always enjoy telling this story to fellow pilots and others with a passion for flying. Anyways, thank you again for taking time to share your passions. please continue to post more videos. Your work is definitely appreciated. Happy flying and Godspeed.
+Eric Lozen Great story Eric! That must have been a real thrill. Aviation is full of many great people. It is one of the aspects of the activity that I enjoy so much-meeting interesting people. Thanks for watching!
Great to be able to get back into the cockpit and join you, was an old C-141 driver back in the day. God Bless !
Thank you for your Service Tom!
Classy move thanking the controllers for working on Christmas. Big thumbs up. :-)
Love this. I grew up and still live right down the road from Indy Executive. Actually flew into RSW on this same day as well. Got a kick out of that!
I've watch nearly every one of your excellent videos. Your navigation and piloting skills are excellent. Very, very skilled and knowledgeable. You make flying single pilot IFR in a jet look simple. Most pilots know it's not. It's a credit to your military and extensive hours in the air. Thanks for sharing your flights with us. Keep them coming.
+Marion Blair Thank you Marion!
The long videos are really the best because they really give you the perspective of being on the flight during critical parts of the flight. I really appreciate that these videos don't miss anything and nice job overall. Once again if you're ever in Omaha give me a shout. -Mike
I was also wondering if there was a way to contact you through email to ask you some questions. My email is lmtolley1996@@yahoo.com
I had to go way back in your files and watch this one again. I grew up living on both Sanibel & Captiva islands. Then I worked in Tampa as a radio talk host on a small network, for a few years. The view on the way down the coast is a lot of fun for me. Thanks for the trip.
Heard you say your children are not interested in aviation, that is a bummer. I wish I was a young relative so I could get in that right seat. I started flying in 1966. Didn't finish then as I went and served my country but did manage to find enough money to finish in 1976 even though I got married and had one son. I dearly love flying but just couldn't continue due to the lack of extra funds and other responsibilities, like putting food on the table. I love your videos. I sorta put myself in that right seat.... and try to imagine, what if? Thanks for taking us/me with you. Jerry
Thanks Jerry!
I have really enjoyed the last few videos, with the longer format. Thanks for bringing us along.
your welcome my friend. I'm retired Army and appreciate the videos you give us and the service you gave to your country. I'm a big fan.
The most impressive is your ease and calm during the flight ... Simply airmanship.
Nice video as usual.
Thank you for sharing.
I flew with my uncle on MU2 and I confirm, great airplane !!! (He was the pilot and I was the passenger).
I have been a viewer to your site for a few months and you have not disappointed me yet I enjoy your videos, very detailed and informative. I am thinking about going back to complete my private thanks for the inspiration.
As per usual, an excellent video! Having lived in Sarasota many years ago, I was pleased to see my old stomping grounds. I had to chuckle to myself when you made the comment about the youngsters being a bit more adept at learning to fly. I obtained my pvt ticket in the late 80's. Now, in the twilight of my current career, I am chasing a commercial license to start a new one. Fingers crossed that somewhere inside, I am still a youngster.
Before I earned my private pilots license I played MS Flight Simulator all the time. Even connected to the virtual ATC network VATSIM. After well over 10 years of doing that once I started my actual training I breezed right thorough. Had the terminology down easy. The written test was a piece of cake and had no trouble with the practical exam. MSFS definitely gives the potential real life pilot an edge.
Here,it Monday July 10,2017 ! Back,viewing once again ! I,find that the take-off,is truly "Exciting ", so is the remainder of any and all your Videos !! Thank you very much !!
Nice view of the community of Rotonda West, Florida at 44.34 followed by Cayo Costa, Captiva, and Sanibel Islands - some of the best beaches in the world along the SW Florida Gulf Coast. Not a pilot but like airplanes and enjoy all your videos. Too old to become a pilot, so this is the closest I will ever get to a private jet. Thank you for the time and effort it takes to make these videos.
Sitting here in Pittsburgh with a margarita watching you. Thanks so much for your efforts! I wish you and yours a Happy New Year!
Thanks for sharing. I am living vicariously through your videos.
What a great lifestyle and work ethic. Thanks for sharing your travels. Learning loads.
Thanks for the great video! I very much appreciate the fact that you are willing to share aviation with people that may not otherwise be exposed to it. Someone in your position finding the time to mentor a future aviator says a lot about your character but also your love for aviation! Keep up the great videos!!
These are amazing videos. As a fellow pilot and aircraft owner I have always wondered what flying a jet would be like, and your videos really do a great job helping others understand flying jets. Please keep making these videos.
Absolutely awesome videos - hooked. Great single pilot IFR skills in such a complex plane! So cool. I bought and flew a Beech Duke from Denver to my home country New Zealand a few years ago. FAA ferry permit for 2000lbs overweight with 3 extra ferry tanks. Nearest to kero for me so far was right seat with a kind pilot who let me take off and land an Eclipse a year ago TX-AZ - just loved it. Kero on the radar one day. My other plane a PA32 for local bush trips. My 2 sons 12 and 14yrs have been hard to get them interested in aviation like your family - then the 12 yr was flying last week back from our bush camping trip. Often 10 minutes on the control wheel, then they both lose interest. Then I took less interest when they flew and then said close to the circuit which runway we would use. Both he and I would assume I would take over soon so he wasn't concerned. I adjusted power, flaps, guessed trim etc and he kept flying which he did until just before touchdown. We were both shocked that it happened that way and he had done such a great job on the approach. See what happens next flight! I love the glass and the tech stuff for my IFR so don't hesitate to have more EFIS and FMS. Can you edit as an inset?
This video has the best scenery, out of the dozen I've seen.
I'm growing very fond of that plane! Another grand video. Merry Christmas and enjoy your vacation.
Hi I want to say Thanks for letting us fly along with you aboard the Premier. Your airwork is superb . I liked the Indy to RSW and also the transatlantic crossing. Your editing is great and I know that takes a bunch of time, nice work. I am also a sim pilot ( on x-plane) and your Florida flights are also really good as I live there ( nearest KPMP, but also between KFXE. ) so I have done a lot of the approaches and airports you have shown. Safe flying in 2016 and again Thanks Steve A.
Enjoy the videos, rode with Jack Roush once in a premier and have a friend who flies a Gulfstream out of Love Field. Love aviation and thanks for sharing your pleasures and love of flying to others.
+John Quick I met Jack last week at Flight Safety. Great guy.
+Premier 1 Driver He did a carrier landing at KYIP that day and certainly got our attention.
Greg, you flew right over my condo. At 51:48 it's the community under the 6 square patches of green you see on the left side of your dash. Pretty cool!
I appreciate your videos. As a grounded (financially) pilot and former aircraft owner (48 Cessna 140) with a bunch of hours and experience, I mainly fly my sim and usually fly a sim of each of your flights. I had expected to become a lot wealthier than my actual outcome and had to stop flying due to expense. No sour grapes but rather, sadness but a lot of great flights under my belt. I heard you mention Emory at KRFD. You may know Steve Thomas who I believe is the owner and also an old friend and owner of C77 where I got my ticket years ago and hangered my 140. Thanks again and keep that GoPro on. Regards, Pat Glass.
Well Greg, after that flight, I can certainly understand why so many folks spend Christmas - as well as any other time - in Florida!! Taking in the sites as you were on your long final into Fort Myers, I saw enough to convince me that I could live down there!! Thanks for another terrific video. Regards, Ernie
Another great video, you mentioned the kids not wanting to ride up front, over the years I have taken the family, and kids on trips till they were all bored. For myself I also have never tired of looking out of the window, the magic is still there.
It is magical for sure. Never gets old does it??
Your clients finally came and they were in the cabin? Ok, they were your family!!!! Nice....Your take off was very nice. Continued success with owning your own aircraft. Thanks.
Thanks for your videos. I originally just wanted to get my pilot certification to eventually become an ATP for a major carrier. Having seen some of your videos have peaked my interest in becoming a charter pilot and aircraft owner. I've always wanted to become a pilot and it's awesome that you are sharing your experiences and helping me to further solidify my goals!
Thanks David. Best of luck with your career path!
I am happily drinking a beer and imagining myself on that co-pilot seat, thanks for such amazing trips/videos, cheers
Nice to hear you have your jet serviced at Emery in Rockford, IL. I fly out of there and they are top notch. KRFD is a great airport-little traffic, Emery Air, and friendly controllers.
Thanks again for another enjoyable trip. Really appreciate the extra dialog and explanation of everything.
This,video is one of my " Favorites ", love to watch these here on TH-cam,a lot !
Glad you enjoyed it.

I,just finished watching them ! As,I,normally do !! I,very much enjoyed them!!
Just love watching your videos. Thanks for all the behind in depth scenes. Always looking forward to your next ones. Merry Christmas to you!
Paul Wilhite’s Birthday, November 23 and my wish is a Beechcraft Primier1 driver!
Another great video - thanks for all the work to create, edit, and post them. It's so much fun to come along for the ride, not only for the entertainment, but the educational opportunities as well. All the best to you and yours for 2016 Greg. I'm sure it's safe to say your fans will be looking forward to more great trips with you.
I'm off to drive my special vehicle - a Rose Parade Float. See you on 1/1!
Thank you for taking the time to do this for all of us to enjoy.
Premier 1 Driver,
Your videos are awesome, you lucky SOB. I say lucky in the sense that you have made your own luck. My love of flying dates back to 1967 when I obtained my pilot's license...that suggests how old I am, but when it comes to flying I am still young at heart. My career hopes of being a pilot got sidetracked in the early seventies when I became a law enforcement officer for the next 35 years. A couple years ago for our (30th wedding anniversary) I rented a Phenom 100 for a flight from our home in San Diego to Vancouver, BC...the highlight in my otherwise lifelong grounded experience. Through your videos, I have vigorously returned to the skies once again. I thank you. Anytime you need a right side passenger, I will pay to fly out to Indiana and me you for a ride.
Bob Jones
+Robert Jones Thanks for the comment Bob. A ride in a Phenom 100 isn't too bad! Too bad you didn't live a little closer!
Beautiful video as always my friend, such an amazing plane, love the insight that you provide!
+Josh McCorquodale 2:47
Any former Pilot's with several hundred hours in several different airplanes should watch this man's channel. I'm currently disqualified from obtaining a new medical so I can't fly without another pilot... unless I'm flying a friend's cub over Crockett National Forest.... Being disabled will redirect your life. ¿Gregg, I appreciate you doing what your doing. I was planning from a young age to accomplish what you have done.
I believe you are an excellent representative of a Human.
Is there a plane more fun to fly than The F-16?
Have you flown the F-15?
Those newer Russian fighter Jets are something else. Those are the ultimate equipment to be flying from what I've seen.
2 hours and 26 minutes! That is the way to go! Great video.
Thank you for this video and the information provided. As a non pilot I find it very interesting and informative. While here, let me say how much I enjoyed your videos of the North Atlantic crossings. As you said, the views were worth the price of admission.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Boynton Beach, FL
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME RESOURCES AND PROFESSIONAL DEMONSTRATION; GOD BLESS YOU
Your videos just keep getting better and better, I feel like I am riding along with you pretty soon I am going to have you over for dinner :) . Thanks for the ride you flew over my house on this flight. :)
I love your videos, Mr. Mink! I don't remember your first name. My sister is a pilot and has a 1941 cub piper. My dad was in the Air Force stationed at Grissom. I love aviation and air planes! BTW, I was your daughter's guitar teacher at Meridian Music many years ago.
+Philip Lashley Sure Phil. I remember you. I wanted to take lessons too but my hands are the size of watermelons and equally as coordinated. The first name is Greg. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the great ride in the right seat. Nice visuals.
Nice coming into private sky- We used to live near there and visit private sky when Air Force One would come in. Subscribed today and thanks for bringing us back home to Fort Myers.
Enjoyed the trip
Great video as usual. Oh well, if no one in the family but you is interested in flying you'll never have to worry about, "Dad, can I borrow the Premier tonight?" Still, they are a great way to get about and have the advantage over some of the VLJ of having speed and height while still single pilot. Thank you for posting.
Another awesome video. Thanks again for sharing and please keep posting. Beautiful airplane too.
Just found your channel a few days ago. Great info, Thanks for your service! Love the footage.
I only ever flew sailplanes and C172s; and except for occasionally needing both hands to refold a chart in the Cessna, I never had to (or really wanted to) take my hand off the yoke. It looks SOOOO weird to see you sitting there with your hands folded in your lap.The tech in these things is amazing. Great vid. Thanx!!
+Michael Powell My passengers get nervous when i touch the yoke. :-)
Awesome flight! You make it look easy. The Premier seems so smooth and quiet compared to the C-210 I used to own. Love your videos. Thank you.
+alex davis Thanks Alex!
Nice clouds, nice flight and night landing in heavy winds. Thanks, Greg. Enjoyed.
Fun video to watch and so well produced. Thank you sir.
Enjoyed the video. Really love all the camera angles and added comments during flight. Would love to hear more info on the plane and instruments and how everything works. Flying is so interesting to me and I don't get to do enough of it but riding along with your videos is just as fun. Glad your flight plan kept you east of all the weather Christmas Day because down here in north Mississippi we had tornadoes two days prior and lots of major flooding day of Christmas. Have a happy new year and keep em coming.
Thanks for another great video and so quickly! Those clouds in Florida were very beautiful.
Wow ... great videos ! Great Captain too - right on . Thanks for all the camera views and most of the entire flights . Love aviation... tried to get my son into too- he got some flight exp. on a Cessna 182 but it never panned out- lost interest- too much homework , etc ! Love to see more flights !
great and awesome video my fellow veteran. God bless you and your family. Thank you for all the videos and keep safe.
+Marvin Brooks Nice to see you are still hanging with me Marvin!
Great video of the flight. Nice to have the narrative in there too
Loved the flight. Another awesome video. Merry Christmas to you & yours.
Really enjoy your videos. Hope you and your family had a Wonderful Christmas.
I'm from Indy, really enjoy your flight videos
I love this...this was awesome, seeing this always give me more inspiration. Just learning to fly and Alex said it correctly, you make it look all too easy. I'll get there, just take time.
+Da Das Be patient. You will get there.
Awesome camera placement!!,,loved the veiw,,thanks for the trip,,even though I never left my couch!!
Thanx Good guy...a Merry Chrismas to you and your family to.
Great videos! Hope you and your family had a good Christmas. And hello from Orlando!
Very nice footage and great vids... Really nice of you to take your time to share your flights with us.. I wish I could fly with you :)
I own a private jet. Will you mind flying with us?
Nice....You flew right over my house at 44.34.....The huge round wagon wheel looking development known as Rotonda West Florida
True statement: you're a business owner, ex F16 pilot, have a 100% thumb-up rate, and own this beauty...I'll admit it, I have a man crush! :-) Ha, jokes aside, thanks for taking the time to share the quality videos - they're amazing.
What great videos. I'm in love with the premier.
+Bob Yerkes Me too!
Epic video. Love the new format. I also love the explanations of your routes, the SIDs and STARs and navigation points (that way, I can follow along!). Thanks for the vids. Hope you had a great Christmas!
Another great video! Liked the preflight time-lapse by the way!
Great video. I really enjoy your presentation. Merry Christmas (late) and a Happy New year. I've sent a few people to your site and they enjoyed it too. Keep up the good work!
+Richard Krentz Thanks so much Richard!
Happy New Year and always Blue Skies! But please - no complaints about additional jobs ;-)
To hop over to far distant places in little time is just great!
I've had countless hours in the sim but haven't been in a real plane since my uncle's 172 as a kid. If you're ever in Cleveland look me up sometime :) Merry Christmas!
Another great video. Hope you and your family have a safe and happy holiday. Merry Christmas from Kansas
another great and informative and relaxing video. Thanks!
Quality video, thanks for posting! The young person you mention starting flight training is fortunate! Subscribed and looking forward to more videos.
Really enjoy your videos. I feel like I'm in the right seat. Great views, crisp video, and perfect amount of narrative. Recently took my first intro flight in a Cirrus SR22 out of KHPN. Exhilirating!! I can only imagine the feeling at 450KIAS! :-)
that was a awesome flight. love being in between blue sky & the clouds. view was great . be safe oh and nice plane too.
Must admit, thats a very interesting location to put a storage compartment, right in the Nose of the jet, but if there is extra room in a jet where there really isnt anything, this works out really well.....
Your boat analogy is spot on. I went out a few times with friends who had a really nice Sea Ray. Always great to have friends with nice things that enjoy sharing. Glad you enjoy sharing your flights via TH-cam. I noticed as you climb out, you always switch on the yaw damper. Had to look that one up to see exactly what it does. Learned about "Dutch Roll" today. :thumb Also, got a view of a strange piece of geography north of Sanibel. Rotonda West development. Interesting story. That took me down another rabbit hole for a half hour. :-) I learn about the most interesting things on the internet.
+odc43054 I had a Sea Ray also. All work, not much play.
Those jobs are also the ones I did driving tour bus! Uncle Sam was going to send me to WOC at Ft Wolters, but ETS while in Nam got to me before flight school!
Wing-rockin' view of FL's westcoast! Gorgeous day to fly!
These are my favorite videos on the net. I don't have a medical right now so can't fly myself and I've never flown with a glass cockpit and in a jet. Want to fly so much, these videos at least allow us to vicariously enjoy the sensation from a pilots perspective. Keep all those trivial boring bits in, they are what includes us in the ride. On this flight I liked having the cabin sound. Loved the sound of those engines starting up.
I love the multiple camera angles. I like that you listen to the feedback and try to accommodate the requests. The production quality is excellent! Wondered why you had to use the copilot side to listen to the Atis?
If I were to ask for anything more it would be to see more closeups of the displays. Love the Premier but always wanted to fly an Avanti.
Please keep the videos coming.
+MrMihawes Yeah, I've been trying to sort out the camera angles that work. I end up with the co-pilot side having most of the cameras over there so it just is easier to have the camera over there with the intercom audio. It is also easier when I can see my mouth move to match up the audio. I could do the audio clap to generate the spike for synching but that isn't always appreciated by those in the back.
thanks for your work,,,,,,i enjoy the commentary
Your channel is the best!
Servus Capt. Mink,
again a great video
especially interesting about it is:
x ATC in American English
x good pictures of the Flight Instruments and interesting to see
x To see the work in the cockpit
x your comments
x and I am still learning new
Is certainly a lot of work to make the video, thank you very much and always a safe landing
Norbert, from Austria
+Seiger1000 Thanks Norbert! More to come in the next couple of weeks.
Great video. I fly a King Air 90... hopefully will move up to Jets someday.
I liked this one Greg. What a beautiful airplane. Thank you for letting me fly with you on You tube. I love your videos. When you are on autopilot the yoke is still. Excellent choice on a small jet. Would you ever be interested in flying a Gulfstream or a larger private jet?
Awesome videos... I hope to fly one day on my own.
thanks for the videos. I'm getting my private pilot license currently and, as a business owner myself, your videos keep me motivated to continue my training to potentially get a plane myself. Goal is in the next couple years be able to purchase a Cessna 421 to get around for business and personal use. I'd love to connect sometime via email to hear any landmines in purchasing for business I should keep an eye out for.
At 39:01, isn't it awesome how the clouds just below him start forming right at the coast more or less? Look to his right over the gulf and how the lack of clouds appear.
Great videos. I look forward to your next one. Thanks again
South Florida weather is some great flying weather.
love the videos mate. I am currently studying the PPL here in gold coast australia and I have not had trouble understanding the theory it's just retaining the small things especially in operational met. jeez there is a lot to remember.
Merry Christmas. Another great video. Would like to hear more about your experience with the MU-2's. Have a very close friend who owned an MU-2 several years back that was based at KDPA. Another acquaintance with one based at KHFY. Thanks, Brian Richardson
