I like that you understand "flying is flying".. getting paid a nice salary and flying smaller airplanes with a awesome quality of life is way better than flying for a "airline" and living out of hotels and never seeing your family or friends. Enjoyed the video. :)
Theo Baudry I considered using the GI Bill for flying as well, but ended up using for law school. Th GI Bill was the best investment I ever made. I paid a total of $1,200 into it and then by the time I used it ended up receiving almost $1,200 per month. It paid out for so long that I seriously wondered if they were ever going to turn it off. It's hard putting money into when it consumes a big chunk of your enlisted pay (for a few months at least). But it's worth it and I've earned enough as a lawyer finally to take flying lessons--should be doing my check ride in August. Hope you enjoy the Marines. I was Navy and stationed on a couple different carriers. But I got to know a lot of Marines from the squadrons that were on board. In fact, nearly 20 years later, of the dozen guys I still surf with and visit, only one of them is Navy--the rest are Marines and we're still as close today as we were 20 years ago.
Johnjcchaney I'm working on that Private Pilot, I'm in DEP and working on scholarships, if the scholarship pulls through, ill be going to college and then get to fly for the marines, and then I would use the GI bill to pay for advanced education, like Aeronautical Engineering, or something of that sort. If I go Active (i.e scholarship fails) then Ill use the GI for flying while attending one of those two year schools that are free in Tennessee, where I live)
If you go to a flight school (instead of through an instructor) you may be able to use the GI Bill even if you're working on the PPL. Either way, stick to investing in the GI Bill--good stuff.
Thanks for sharing. It seems such a trip would be a wonderful learning experience. I think it is great that Brandon has the time and willingness to travel with you.
Fun departure. Was talking with a flying friend today about your videos from this trip, we've definitely put VanNuys on the list of places to go. Thanks for continuing to post great and fun videos.
MrAviation101, thanks for all the great videos thus far. Although I am not able to pursue flying at this point in my life, your videos make me want to that much more. Hearing about and seeing your adventures in 991 is a blast. Thanks for what you do! Sincerely, Andrew D. Sims, A1C 190th ARW, 190th MXS Kansas Air National Guard
You folks would love flying to KPLU for fuel, then up to Arlington Airport, then back via KTIM, cut across Joint Base Lewis McChord Airspace, back to KPLU, then enjoy the sights!
wow man i was still stationed in yuma when you came through... i have not even watched the video yet but im sure you landed on runway 35. aka 100 feet from where i would be standing.
You forgot to add the annotation an the Patreon logo ;) Very nice flying! I'm a glider pilot but I'd really like to fly motorised planes as well and this just makes me even more ambitious :)
It would be awesome to see you in LA next time. I'd like to establish a TH-cam presence such as yourself. Castle and Cooke VNY is my homebase. Happy landings! - Your viewer from corporate flying!
as always great video.. hey you mind asking your buddy so far what he thinks of those FARO headsets.. thinking of getting one and wanted a review on them.. keep up the awesome flying !
From takeoff, what was your heading while climbing to 5000 feet? I live in the general area (Van Nuys/Sherman Oaks) and only marginally aware of air traffic departure and arrival paths in the SF valley. I never hear or see any traffic from the VN airport, while Burbank is pretty obvious with it's larger craft.
Hey Josh, like many I enjoy the video's and find it fun to watch as I am a student pilot out at New Braunfels airport. QUICK QUESTION: what mount do you use for your iPad? seems like it lays well without blocking the dials. Thank you for any feed back, have a great one. Dustin
Josh, mid flight, do you always have your hand on the throttle? Also, is this right. Speed =Altitude and Pitch = speed? Wasnt it something like that? Sorry, i just turned 16 and im saving up from flight lessons.

Beautiful IFR video, Glad to see you can't get enough either
awesome as usual!
Just enlisted in the marines I plan on using the GI bill to pay for the rest of my flight training
Theo Baudry Thank you for your service!

Theo Baudry GI bill wont pay for pilot license unless you already have a private pilot endorsement.

Thanks for another outstanding video Josh. Is Brandon your instructor? He sure is "helpful". :)

Took your suggestion and watched One Six Right. Great movie and history.
2:43 haha the way that charter is parked in the garage lol

I actually work for the company that owns the Hawker (Trailblazer 405) that left that wake turbulence for you! Very cool to hear! Thanks for sharing!

Great video MrAviation101 and great job with IFR flying! Your videos have really helped me with my private pilot training.

I saw One Six Right twice while I rented it, and it was awesome like you said.
Nice... shame there wasn't more though
Great video keep it up.
Great video as always :)
Cool to see myself in that patrons list now ;)
You folks would love flying to KPLU for fuel, then up to Arlington Airport, then back via KTIM, cut across Joint Base Lewis McChord Airspace, back to KPLU, then enjoy the sights!
Very cool Video!
Good ole El paso I was stationed at ft bliss for 2 years
How you know the route is long and the aircraft is small:
occupants start dressing alike...
Enjoy the videos....
wow man i was still stationed in yuma when you came through... i have not even watched the video yet but im sure you landed on runway 35. aka 100 feet from where i would be standing.
We actually landed 17! And unfortunately the cameras died before arrival. It was a cool airport!
Ah man yeah, thats the other side of the air station. Yeah its an interesting little town. Did you get a chance to see any Harriers or F35s?
Josh, I so enjoy your videos......thank you. What does the gold ring on your right hand signify?
You forgot to add the annotation an the Patreon logo ;)

Excuse my ignorance. did you handfly all the way from Van Nuys to El Paso?
Hey Josh, MrAviation101 what app do you guys use for the approach plates and charts on the iPad?
I believe Josh uses the Garmin app to go along with his Garmin GPS just above the radio stack

Cali very pretty ain't it. You should fly up to the central coast sometime. L52 is right next to the beach
Who was your trainer? I'm considering getting a 152 and starting to fly. I also belive I live in the same state.
Hi josh greetings from Ecuador, can you tell me please if are you using a microphone adapter with your gopro to record your voice
Thanks
I noticed most of your passengers use the Faro G2 headet, would you recommend it?
What altitude were you at when you were over the low clouds
How did you like your stay in El Paso? I do my training out of KELP

Ive watched your videos since you had about 10 subscribers. Great flying! How many hours are you up to now?
Josh, mid flight, do you always have your hand on the throttle?
Also, is this right. Speed =Altitude and Pitch = speed? Wasnt it something like that?
Sorry, i just turned 16 and im saving up from flight lessons.
That is true on landing. Otherwise think attitude= turn rate/climb rate, and throttle= speed
So is that your 152, or do you rent it?
do you want to be a commercial pilot or are you just flying for fun
Brandon's a bit...bossy...isn't he? You're rated, right?
Steven Mason it's one of his instructors
Steven Mason yeah he was straight roasting Josh 😂😂🔥🔥👏🏿
I'm getting my license have 8 hours in :)
My lic plate says ILS 16R
Your'e really tired aren't you
