I know that my normal "travelling to Zion" videos aren't the most interesting. Basically it's just me trying desperately to make flying commercial look exciting. Spoiler alert: it's not! So this year I decided to spice up my normal Day 1 video by fling myself to Zion!
I have been a pilot for a little over nine years, and it's always been a dream of mine to fly myself out to Zion. It's never really been a possibility though because all of the rental planes available were too slow. However this year I was able to join a group owning a Cessna 210 which is far faster and just more capable of such a trip.
I had originally hoped to make the entire trip in one day, which would be a long day, but it would be possible. However, a large weather system had been hovering over the desert southwest bringing low clouds and freezing temps. I'm an instrument rated pilot, so flying through the clouds isn't an issue. The ice that would have accumulated in those clouds however, was an issue. So I made the safe call to land in Kansas and let the system pass as it was predicted to do.
This is the video of that flight. I might could have made it all the way to Zion, but this was the safest option. I hope you enjoy!!
Wow, amazing production value on your video. Thanks for taking us along for the ride. Really enjoyed it.
Really, a next-level video as I was glued to your adventure, you're a busy man. You've shown us it's really is the journey, not the destination. Thx for sharing your hard work.
Thank you so much for the kind words!! It's definitely a busy life, but I enjoy it. Be sure an look for part 2...the scenery gets MUCH better!!
Loved it! In regards to the intro all I can say is that the human mind is amazing.
Just found you, Alan! Thank you for taking us along!!
Great trip video Alan, can't wait for the return trip.
Happy flying!
So, I actually didn't film the return trip. However, part 2 when I flew over the southwest is AMAZING!! I can't wait to show you guys the video from that day!
Great vid. Love the flying footage! Thanks for sharing man, and greets from the Netherlands. T.
Very refreshing, a great addition to your past and regular content. Keep it coming and good luck.
Thanks, I will definitely start doing more of these types of videos as I really enjoyed putting this one together.
Alan, For me, this is the best large format video I've ever seen and totally without the camera. It's all about passion weather it be flying or photography you got to have to be successful in anything. Keep on, keeping on!
Wow, thanks so much for that! I've really enjoyed sharing this aspect of my life and incorporating it into the photography videos so I will definitely keep looking to do that in the future. Keep an eye out for part 2 of this video coming out this Saturday! The flight crosses some breathtaking landscapes and there are some LF photos as well.
Awesome video Alan! Wow, that was very interesting. The production was great. I can't wait to see your next videos!
Thank you, I was really please with the way it turned out!! And I believe you'll really enjoy part 2 of the trip!
Western Oklahoma is known for its red soil. It is a natural thing in the state. There was a Cessna 210 that made a around the world flight. Its tail number is N210EU. It began and ended the flight at Kern Valley Airport near Kernville California. It flew from Kern Valley to the following countries and locations.
United States, Canada, Greenland, Iceland, Scotland, Great Britain, Germany, Austria, Greece, Egypt, United Arab Emirates, Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka, Kuala Lumpur, Bali, Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, American Samoa, Kiribati, Hawaiian Islands, and back to California.
Adventure!! I can' think of a better way to get there! Can't wait for the rest of your videos.
It was definitely something I'll never forget! It was absolutely the perfect way to experience that part of the country.
Man! Seriously nicely done - looking forward to the rest of the series!
Thank you! These have been some of my favorite videos to put together!
Great Vid! Honestly, and this is kinda funny, but when the video started, I felt like you were going to gradually break into a nice, relaxing song.
Sweet, Liberal KS!! I live in Meade which is 40 miles east of there. Glad I found your channel, thanks for the ride!!
such a chill video. Makes me want to fly everywhere like this!
Thanks! It was an incredible way to see the country. Just wait until Part 2 comes out. The scenery that day was just unreal!!
That was awesome! Looking forward for more!
Thanks! Be on the lookout for part 2...the scenery that day was just unreal!!
Great stuff mate. Looking for forward to the rest of the journey.
Thank you, I'm excited to show everyone the rest of the trip!
Really well done video. Looking forward to see next episode.
Thanks! I think you'll really enjoy part 2. The scenery was just stunning!!
That was awesome. I really enjoyed this video. I hope you'll make more videos like this. It's a nice addition to your landscape videos.
Thanks! I definitely plan to incorporate more of this type stuff as time goes on. The videos are so much fun to put together, and I really feel they add a lot to the channel.
Nice video. It would be great to see what kind of performance you are getting such as TAS, Indicated AS and of course ground speed, fuel flows, power settings etc. Even if you do a slow pan of the instrument panel so we can look at some of the performance characteristics and gauges. This is always good information for us to learn about the aircraft.
GREAT VIDEO .. WELL DONE !
That was absolutely fantastic!! From the opening title to the off the cuff commentary? Amazing as always. Next trip I call shotgun.
Thanks man! You always have an open spot...just as long as I never have to wait on you to order food anywhere!!
Great great vibe in this vlog! Next level imo :) good job!
Thank you, that's great to hear! I had so much fun on this trip so hopefully that is showing in the videos.
Great job Alan, that looked awesome 👏 really nice video 😀
Thanks, I really appreciate that!
So beautiful Alan!!!!
Thanks!!
Whoever helped you shoot that intro has a great eye! Lovely cuts and awesome editing.
SO GOOD!!!!!!!!
Ben Horne sooooooooooooo good!
Thank you sir!! Just trying to live up to the lofty vlogging-in-Zion standard that has been set! :)
Hollywood-ready film! Like the intro-speech, has something of Mac Gyver to me! :-) Well done, Alan!
Thanks so much! Always trying to up the production value so hopefully that is starting to show in the videos.
Okay, I regret not going with you now! This is awesome!
One day you will learn...when I invite you to go on a trip, say yes!! :)
Hey man, I really enjoyed your video. We recently completed a flight from NC to UT and back, and stopped at Alva for fuel on the return flight. Met Santino the airport dog there too just like you did! Ha! Really neat trip and great video man!
I checked out your return trip from Utah...what a big day of flying! Those tailwinds are nice. When we flew back, I hit 241 knots ground speed in a normally aspirated 210! Beautiful family too. I’ve got three kids age 6 and under and they love to fly. I’ve only taken them on hour-long trips though; I was REALLY impressed at how well your kids did! I’m based in East TN (KMMI); let me know if you’re ever in the area!
That was awesome! I’ve always wondered what it would be like to fly like that.
Thanks Tony! It was amazing! Seeing everything from above in a small plane like that really gives you an entirely new perspective.
Sweet video. Nice landings.
Thanks! There's definitely some added pressure when you know you're going to be putting it out there for the whole world to see!
I just love this
Awesome video!!
Thanks!! Just wait until you see what I flew over the next day! We've got to do that flight together at some point.
Great video . Having more than a few hours in a 210 this was lovely to watch 😃👍
It's a great airplane! I'm guessing you're a pilot as well?
Alan Brock used to teach in the states many moons ago . Now just keep my hand in to stay current 😃👍
Interesting video Alan!
Thanks!
That is soooo Cool!!
What was that airstrip at 6:08 in the video? The one on the river bank
Looked like a great flight! You need to get yourself a reconnaissance aircraft to take your aerial photography to the next level haha!
It was a really great flight...part 2 was even better! :)
Nice Bud!!
Excellent, thanks for posting.
The red canyons you saw in Oklahoma, may have been Red Rock Canyon just to the west of Oklahoma City . I lived in Liberal, KS in the 70's, I now live in south Oklahoma.
They were really striking from above! For the most part it wasn't the most exciting part of the country to fly over, but there were some really interesting parts to it here and there.
Very good.
Thank you!
How much this plane costs you to buy ? What about storage?
The plane is a partnership between myself and two others so it wasn't that expensive. And we store it in a hangar at our local airport.
Muito legal!
Had to google the translation (lol) but thank you!! :)
Top notch
Thank you!!
I love the title sequence at 1:39.
I'm so glad you said something about that because it took FOREVER to mask that out!!
Wow, how much was that gas fill up in Oklahoma.....just curious
$4.15/gallon...cheap in the aviation world!
Real large format film photographers travel the country in a P-51 or P-38!
Just kidding. That was AMAZING!!!
It's a bucket list item for me to take a flight in a P-51. It's obscenely expensive though...
What shoes are these in at 0.13 you are wearing please?
They are the Salomon XA Pro 3D...not a great name, but they are really great shoes!
thank you @@AlanBrockImages
Looks like the front tire needs some pressure
now you just need a cute co-pilot like Baron Pilot, 310 pilot, and Marcinko
Hampton Inn Portland, TX They do generate a ton of views based off of co-pilot thumbnails.
Nicely done Alan! But one question. You 're not renting the 210?
I bought in with two other people on it. It's really the perfect plane and the perfect situation for "owning" it.
@@AlanBrockImages Sweet! Not bad at all! I was a part owner in a C-150 (much smaller and less capable than the C-210) many, many moons ago! lol! Looking forward to seeing more flying vids from you!
What did you do with travel johns?
Haha, they remain unopened in my flight bag. Never had to use them, even on the flight back. They'll remain there in the future in case of emergencies!
Alan Brock I so repent not finishing my lessons and getting the license looking at this, Alan.
Never too late to start back up!!
where’s the Toyota Prius,
oh sorry, wrong channel......
beautiful filmed & edited,
thank you!
If a Prius passes me, something has gone seriously wrong!! :)
up next maybe some 4x5 aerial photography? :D
Believe me, it has crossed my mind! I just don't think it would be worth it though other than maybe a gimmick for a video. I just don't think the quality would come across and you would basically be shooting blind.
Alan wins the day 1 travel to location' videos on the internet ...
Thank you, that's the exact award I was going for!! :)
Red clay in OK.
That red rock is called Bedrock. It's where The Flintstones live.
Hmm...never knew the Flinstones lived in Oklahoma!! :)
Beautiful plane ...but this push /pull throttle is thing of the past...
Very nice, but delete the annoying background music.
I edit videos to music; it gives the feel I want to the video. Some like it, some don’t, but my videos will almost always contain music.
@@AlanBrockImages Music generally ok but eliminate the interrupting distraction of a the thumping drum. Seek serenity...
@@geoffreystearns1690 Fair enough…although a bit difficult to delete it at this point! :)
zzzzzz, cool plane...zzzzzzz
