As an aviation professional who’s been watching your videos for a long time, yet never commented. I’d just like to say how professionally you handled this approach. You showed your briefing and prep work, juggled both a Unicom and centre frequency and talked us through your personal minimums of an acceptable tailwind on a narrow and short runway. On Unicom you used resources available to you such as asking another aircraft (who is likely familiar with the field and nuances of the wind there) and went with his recommendation. Topped it off with a lovely approach and a textbook short field landing technique, wing slightly into the wind. 10/10 - this video should be used as a learning tool.
Hi Ben, First off… Thank you very much for your kind words. Glad you enjoyed the video and happy you commented! As you know I strive to be the safest and most professional pilot I can be so I’m glad it came across in this video! Hope you have a great summer. Take care. Thanks again!
@@blastofo His dad owns a charter company and that's who he flies for. Not saying he bought the plane for him, but I'm sure they have ways of acquiring them that the average person doesn't.
I love that he always uses his written checklist instead of memory. THIS is dedication to flight safety. He goes through the list fastidiously in detail and checks EVERYTHING! Perfection.
Max, thanks for another wonderful ride along . I’m 80 years old, happily living alone with my dawg in a single wide trailer, you give me the opportunity to imagine how the other half lives. I appreciate your attitude and professionalism and always look forward to the next ride.🇨🇦
Thanks for taking us along for the ride Max, we snowmobile just south of Alpine an Afton Wyoming, beautiful country. Love the rides with Max and Premier 1 Driver!
This was a great video of the contrast between the ifr and VFR worlds and you handled both perfectly. I especially enjoyed that you flew everything manually when in a unknown environment. Nice work!
As a kid, a hotel in Alpine is designed like a Swiss inn, we would stay there frequently instead of in Jackson Hole. An ice cream parlor below with waffle cones... and I always thought the entire lake from Swan Valley up thru to Alpine reminded me of places in Bavaria. We'd take the RV and meet up with grandparents and others with their RV. Was a quick drive from Pocatello. I'm only in my late 30's, but I haven't been those parts since I moved from Idaho Falls in '04 to Boise. Now, I feel freaking old :( We would do a few day trips, miss them. Weekend drives to the mountains in fall or early spring, was cozy sometimes bringing a grandparent along. Sometimes we would do the entire circle from Poky to Idaho Falls to Swan Valley thru to Alpine (for longer day trips stop at Jackson Hole) then to Montpelier (sometime we'd divert and spend time at Bear Lake if we didn't stop at Jackson) then to Soda Springs to Lava Hot Springs and back to Pocatello. Always found that particular trip funny starting north and coming back from the south. One big circle. I think we did it in reveres a few times going thru Lava Hot springs first and around back to Poky. You stirred my memories up :) Thanks :)
What an amazing approach and landing at Alpine. It's always nice to get to ride along with you Max. Thank you for taking the time to share your adventure with us all. I'll see you in the next one.
We went through Alpine in our motor coach last month. Stayed the night at Melvin Brewing which let us park in back. Saw it when you were on base. What a beautiful town!
I work in an office park right next door to KHPN. I've watched planes taking off and landing for the past 10 years so I wonder how many times it was you I was watching.
Thank you so much for the video! It's a pleasure to fly along with you and it brings back good memories for me to fly again! You're adherence to the checklist is outstanding. I also enjoy the way you talk with us and keep us in the loop during the flight...keep up the good work and as usual I enjoyed the flight!
Love your passion for flying. Never see you getting stressed. Awesome flight. I missed you not saying :Greased It" on landing LOL. Thanks for sharing. Keep well and take care. Dave from Port Elizabeth, South Africa
Beautiful approach, landing, never seen a turn around like that! Very cool. It looked like you landed in the middle of a residential neighborhood. Awesome flight Max! Always a pleasure to watch your videos! Safe travels!❤❤🛩🛫🛬
Looks like you were over my house in Michigan, I'm about 4 miles east of KGRR, and OMG that approach was crazy, that literally had me on the edge of my seat.
Max, Thanks for sharing this great video, what an approach and landing, great to watch on my big screen! All the best from the Netherlands and safe flights! Jaap.
I would have loved to film you banking the CJ on the final approach, with the Mountains as the backdrop, that would have been some really Awesome footage ! Another great video Max !! Stay Safe !!!
Your best video to date and a true professional. Outstanding scenery. You are truly blessed to do what you do for a living and spend more time with your parents while doing it. Thank you
These videos are on the short list of things my new born son will fall asleep to which is convenient because it gave me a reason to binge watch the channel!
Always great to see your videos Max. Another informative ride along with beautiful scenery. I enjoy joining you in the right seat as your copilot. Safe travels always Max.
I’m new to the M2, would love a video showing how you program the active performance page. Also your flow on initialization, before engine start or after? Keep em coming!
Hi Pete! On my next video I did a time lapse of preflighting the FMC Intl/perf page! If I start on a GPU I always do all the programming at setup before engine start. If I do a battery start I do it all after start. Thanks so much for watching!
@@CitationMax My dream is to fly a Citation X . I’m a 99 and would love to get a tour of this plane next time you come to Atlanta PDK 😃would that be too much to ask?
Another great Vlog Max! My buddies and I were on a 4,000 mile motorcycle trip last year and stayed in Alpine, WY for two nights and rode along the lake that you flew over on our way to Idaho. Awesome scenery, but the mosquitoes were ferocious after the sun went down 😊
Hi Max, I just ran into your video stream and love it!! I'm a rusty 300 hour private pilot. I'm developing an aviation technology course in a small northern California town for high school students. I'm going to use your videos as inspiration for a group of kids that have never seen anything like this. Thank you so much for sharing. I know it's a lot of work to assemble footage and post it. You're appreciated.
Nice approach to Alpine there Max! I live in Jackson and know that you were there not too long ago at the Amangani. Hope you enjoyed our western hospitality!
Greetings Max, You made this all look WAY too easy. Having flown into Afton and Alpine decades ago, I can see that it's really grown, no wonder given the absolute beauty and quality of life there in Star Valley. Dropping in as you did and at the speeds required to prevent you from literally "DROPPING In" betrays the actual heights of the surrounding terrain and cramped quarters. Back in the day, the locals could set up a long straight-in from the south and only have the choppy gusts from numerous nearby canyons/peaks to contend with. In a 3+... yep, ya made that look too easy. Thanks for another great vicarious flight fix~ Marc & Rescue Dog Luna
Max, you're welcome - we pilots can try help each other out - we can all learn from one another. Please keep up the excellent videos - hope to see you at Oshkosh as well!
I enjoy no matter how many flights, how trusted and reliable the aircraft,it's a great attention to detail and full attention to what your doing,even while shooting the TH-cam video..
Thanks for the video, Max. Great to see Alpine. My stomping grounds were 30 miles south at AFO. Flying into, around, and over Star Valley is an amazing experience.
These airparks are a fantastic idea.... we don't have anything even remotely close in Australia but what a wonderful place to live if you're flying on a regular basis.
Love that area. Go a bit south, into Star Valley, and get some cheese at Star Valley Cheese. Great stuff! Just up the canyon is where we took the Scouts, back in 1990, and ran the Snake River 2x a day for the whole week. What great time that was!
Best video ever! We Wyomingites are very proud of our northwest corner of our state! There's just nothing like it on this continent! I would really love to see it from your perspective someday my friend!

As my mentor is fond of saying "the faintest pen is better than the finest memory". Great video Max. Your parents have raised a awesome son.
I have committed to myself that I have to. One of my weaknesses is recalling lists. I'll reach for the card without any ego.

@@neilashdown6854" Don't believe everything you think" 🤔
Hope your having a wonderful evening :)
Maybe it's time to start hangin out at the airport ;)
What a neighborhood. I bet the air smells like cool crisp one hundred dollar bills. Lol. Great video, Max! 😜🤙🏽
Or smells like unburnt JA1...
Yup that’s Wyoming
I googled Alpine, WY. It looks exactly like the show Longmire!
Jet fuel and mountain air are basically my two favorite smells.
Smells more like 1000$ bill 😉
You have great shows and great content..and seem a great pilot to me.. ur dad is fortunate to have such an excellent pilot ... thanks ❤👍
Nice views from above the clouds on that flight.
That approach left me speechless. BEAUTIFULLY done Max, that was not an easy one!
As a corporate pilot that is retired I appreciate your professionalism.
Thank you! Appreciate your kind words
Thanks for taking us along for the ride Max, we snowmobile just south of Alpine an Afton Wyoming, beautiful country. Love the rides with Max and Premier 1 Driver!
Ah very cool! Such a gorgeous part of the country. Thanks for watching!
I have an old high school friend in Alpine, WY! two actually! We all graduated from Lander, Wyoming in the 80's. I live in Sheridan, Wy these days.
This was a great video of the contrast between the ifr and VFR worlds and you handled both perfectly. I especially enjoyed that you flew everything manually when in a unknown environment. Nice work!
This was amazing max, great approach and great aeronautical decision making, very entertaining.
That view of Aspen reminds me of Cody Wyoming. Beautiful scenic view. Thanks for the ride along Max
Thanks for watching Willie!
Alpine
Most enjoyable landing video yet! That mountain neighborhood was awesome! Thanks as always!
Max, thanks for another great flight...your appreciation for and love of flying comes through as well as your professional proficiency ...
I just found your channel. I’m not a pilot, but I am really enjoying living vicariously through your travels. Have a safe journey always! JM
Home sweet home!!! the approach over palisades never gets old
It’s very special!! Such a cool place
I enjoy it when CitationMax flies out West. Grew up near KIDA so I spent a lot of time on and around Palisades boating, fishing, camping, hiking.
Beautiful the mountains remind me of the Southern Alps in New Zealand. I'm currently training there 😄
I love flying out of Westchester, only in a piston plane ,lol. Thank you for sharing the great views

just watched Matts video on him getting a hangar home here, seems like an amazing place to fly into!!
Yea me too, I was wondering if Max & Matt got together?
As soon as he said flying into Alpine Valley I thought he's going to go visit Matt..... now Excuse me while I finish watching the rest of this video
Who’s Matt? I want to watch the video
@@KaseyStewart Matt Guthmiller is his channel

The best channel which will motivate you to become a pilot
Thank you!
Great job
All my respect for 2RF, he’s a legend! Flying my copilot dreams through you!
We went through Alpine in our motor coach last month. Stayed the night at Melvin Brewing which let us park in back. Saw it when you were on base. What a beautiful town!
That’s awesome Phil! I have heard wonderful things about Melvin Brewing… Will have to go next time I’m in alpine.
Wow, loved this challenging approach. Pretty difficult turn to short final, handled with skill. And what a beautifully handling aircraft.
Why does this guy act like hes flying a big plane its so cringe. HEs flying a small jet not a 777
Flew there from Coeur d'Alene Idaho several years ago. Canoed the Salt river then hiked to Holly lake in the Tetons. Beautiful area!
I love the view from your office, Captain Max.
THat was a cool flight. Love that snow capped mountains. Sweeet!!!
I so enjoyed watching the flight, mountains we absolutely beautiful, thank you
WOW, beautiful landscape. Who needs the prairies when you can see the mountains. Thanks for taking us with you
Hazy with the heat in the northeast and Florida has those lovely low puffy Florida clouds great to See Always ; nice work Max
WOW..u access to some REALLY cool places! Imagine living where u fly..what a deal..fly safe😊thanks for the ride.. Love watching u fly👍
I work in an office park right next door to KHPN. I've watched planes taking off and landing for the past 10 years so I wonder how many times it was you I was watching.

Beautiful Mountain Views! Nice job Max on the landing! Looked like quite a bit of turbulence. Enjoyed the flight. Thanks.
That was my favorite area to visit when I lived in Idaho! Palisades reservoir is gorgeous!
I looked this up on google earth afterwards and that turn around at the end of the runway was actually just across the state line in Idaho.
"Twenty-five knots to the nose." Nice runway pick buddy! And as always, great video.
Alpine WY, nice lil town! Stayed there on a vacation to Yellowstone. Fun trip!

Thanks Charles! Take care
29:14 I wonder how many celebrities hangars you’re passing? That place is gorgeous.
Approach to JAC is my absolute favorite approach. Tetons are so gorgeous. Flying into alpine in a sports car of a jet must be so amazing in person.
I've been watching TheFlightChannel too long, but it's great watching a flight video that doesn't end in a horrible crash.

Thanks Tom! We are doing well. Hope you and yours are doing great. Take care
Great flight Max, beautiful scenery
beautiful air park.
Glad to see a great video.
Great management of a busy approach. Concur with previous comment - lots of learning material from a well managed approach. I'd fly anywhere with you.
max good 2 see u back flying................
Max I am a pilot in a SR22T with 700 hours I love watching you videos. You rock.
That was more than a little sporty!! Don't know how you hand fly a jet into such a small landing approach. Mad respect!!
Thanks Jack!

He geared down at 27:20 a good while before landing.
