Damn Rich, between you and Greg Mink (Premiere 1 Driver), every video is a walk down Memory Airway... er... Memory Lane. The last time I landed at SMF it didn't have a "One Six Left." (I'm dating myself)! After the PATCO strike in '81, I was detailed to SMF Tower (then METRO Tower) as an acting Team Supervisor. For me, it was a seven month vacation before I went back to the TRACON. One afternoon I rode down to SFO and back in one of Aerojet's Lear 25's (N241AG). Coming off 28R at SFO, they wanted to demonstrate the capabilities of the '25.' They showed me a max-performance takoff and climbout, VFR at 17.5 back to Metro. I'll never forget... there were only 3 of us on the Lear and we'd burned a thousand pounds down to SFO. He pointed that thing at the sky and climbed like a Homesick Angel. The controller shouts into the microphone, "One Alpha Golf, don't turn inside United... Don't turn inside... HELL, you're already a thousand feet above him, contact Departure, good day." They wanted to show the descent performance as well. We crossed the Elkhorn Bridge (I-5 over the Sacramento River) level at eleven, and turned a one-mile base to final for one six. I WAS IMPRESSED!!
Just curious how you got into this job, I'm almost finished with my CPL and want to fly corporate. Just wondering how you got into it? Thanks, great video
👍👍👍👍👍 I was expecting for you to land at KSAC. I use to live in Sac. Nice video. I'm looking for a FSX freeware Mustang. I already have Citation X and the Citation CJ4 in my FSX collection.
Rich that fuel cons does sound low rel to other numbers I've heard on lite jets. I think those are the small PWC engines IIRC. Maybe lower SFC than Williams. Flies nice too.
Rich; Another great video. While watching I noticed how well laid out the controls are, a real user friendly plane. Good visibility. Even the visors are cool. Thanks for sharing. Cheers
Based on the numbers for LGB's displaced threshold, you had a sub-2000ft takeoff roll! The VLJs are crazy. Just found the videos, and I'm enjoying them.
A great video I really enjoyed watching it. I wonder if you could adjust the brightness/contrast on the 'over the shoulder' view so we could view the instruments better, but other than that a great video, thankyou.
Thanks for the feedback. I agree & was disappointed in that as well. Just did some Phenom 300 video and got the same affect so trying to figure out a solution. Thanks for watching.
I saw you cruise at FL 400 at 335 TAS. I've seen Steveo1Kinevo videos in the TBM where he cruises at the same TAS but at FL 300. Plus the TBM has the same number of seats . What would be the reason to buy the Mustang over a TBM especially with the newer TBM 940s which have the same the same performance as the mustang and probably at a cheaper price? I'm not sure about the range and payload of the mustang though but a tbm seems like a cheaper option for the same performance??!!
The experience I have in the TBMs is limited, and was in an 850. I normally saw just under 300KTAS in it. To get 330 KTAS in the TBM you would have to go into a newer version - I think the 940's list at well north of $4M, and I think even a comparable model year 850 would be $300K-$500K more than a Mustang - so I think price is one key difference. I think a buyer considering a new TBM 940 would more likely look at used M2 at that price point over a Mustang. Having said that, I agree with the performance comparison. Another advantage to the TBMs that I see often with customers is no type rating required. Thanks for watching and appreciate your feedback.
@@FlyingwithRich awesome. Thanks for the info and feedback too !! Great videos too !! Those TBMs are quite expensive then for a single engine turbo prop !!
Thanks for watching - nice choices to make! Come visit us! You can see/fly M2/Mustang/Phenom 300/CJ. I have a customer who has a Phenom 100 but not based with us. Let me know if you need anything from me.
Thanks for this informative video. We have a King Air C90 right now, and I am interested in selling it and buying a Mustang. We are on the East Coast flying mostly to Texas, Maryland and also down to Grand Cayman Island. We will sometimes do longer trips as well (up into Canada). Toronto, with a stop in Pittsburgh. Do you think the Mustang would be less to maintain than the King Air?
Our experience with Mustangs is that they are very economical to maintain. I'd be happy to send you more detailed maintenance costs from one of our customers if you want to send me an e-mail. Hard for me to say if the Mustang would be less than your C90 so I think best to get a look at real numbers on a 510, and then compare with what you are spending on the C90. Thanks for watching, and the feedback.
Hey Rich another great video again. Would it be possible to do a video and walk us through the phenom 300. I saw one in your hangar there. Do you still have it?
Thanks for sharing. The Mustang is a great economical jet. Can you offer some comparison of the Mustang to the Eclipse in terms of performance and range? Thanks again.
We have an Eclipse based with us - I’ll be doing a video on it soon, but will get some real performance numbers posted here sooner. Thanks for watching!
Flying with Rich But the Mustang has strong support behind it and a market with buyers. I love the Eclipse for the money but a huge risk given their situation on support and if you needed to sell.
Cirrus lists it’s Vision Jet max cruise speed at 311 KTAS so I guess technically the Vision Jet would be the slowest...Mustang slowest twin engine jet at 340 KTAS? I think so.
Looked like a fun morning. Single Pilot easy money hop up to SMF. Zero distractions…just you and the jet. Thnx for sharing.

Thank you for the compliment and great story! The Lears definitely had some fighter jet like performance!
SEATAC info in SAC at the end; nice
I am now looking for a nice used Mustang and appreciate your coverage of the aircraft.
Thanks. Let us know if you need any help!
I loved the Flight with You in the Mustang! Thank You for another great video Rich!
My brother is a flight paramedic on Sheriff 5 (Air 5). Had a chance to fly in it a couple years ago. Great video.
Thanks for watching!
great flight and outstanding landing, you are so awesome on the radio work, thx for the great video.
Thanks for watching!
Getting ready for my desk job this morning, drinking cup of coffee, watching this vid....envious! Great vid, just right to get my day going.
Just curious how you got into this job, I'm almost finished with my CPL and want to fly corporate. Just wondering how you got into it?
Thanks, great video
Kick ass video. Thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Great flight and vlog and to the insights of owning one of the planes very informative well flown and thanks for sharing cheers
Thanks for the message. Mustang is a great airplane and economical to own.
Nice videos Rich! Well done. Cherrs from Brazil.
Thank you for watching and the message!
great flight...
Thanks for watching!
Nicely done! Happy flying...
cant wait to see ur next flight......
Thanks for watching. More videos coming soon.
Designed for a single pilot. Nice one Rich 👍🏾
Thanks 👍
Have been enjoying watching you Rich. Hope all is well from an old DU buddy from Kansas! Mike Thill
Hey Mike- good to hear from you. Hope all with you too. All good out here - miss the DU days!
👍👍👍👍👍 I was expecting for you to land at KSAC. I use to live in Sac. Nice video. I'm looking for a FSX freeware Mustang. I already have Citation X and the Citation CJ4 in my FSX collection.
I would like to see videos on the beach craft bonanzas especially to be 36 miles
Rich that fuel cons does sound low rel to other numbers I've heard on lite jets. I think those are the small PWC engines IIRC. Maybe lower SFC than Williams. Flies nice too.
Great video. Thanks for including full takeoff!
Thanks for suggesting - I think it makes for a better video!
Rich;

Thank you. I agree!
Very impressed with your videos. Keep on keeping on top of the clouds 👍🤘
Thanks for watching. More cloud topping coming soon.
You make good points on the Mustang - would probably be a good choice for Kansas City base for 500nm to 600nm usage
Perfect mission for the Mustang! Thanks for watching.
what's your plans to fly and review a Phenom 100?
A great video I really enjoyed watching it. I wonder if you could adjust the brightness/contrast on the 'over the shoulder' view so we could view the instruments better, but other than that a great video, thankyou.
Thanks for the feedback. I agree & was disappointed in that as well. Just did some Phenom 300 video and got the same affect so trying to figure out a solution. Thanks for watching.
Keep up, please
Sorry new to video but what was up with the flashing light you were looking up???

Pilot Derrick TBM is way more expensive !.... Easily 3x more than the Mustang

The 400 on the TBM was wind aided. It’s still a 330 knot airplane
@@johnbender6042 makes sense
Nice Video. Currently considering a different ride from current JetProp. Mustang/Phenom/M2/CJ. Information is helpful in determining the numbers

Rich, what were the general changes from the Mustang to the M2. Thanks.
Highlights - 400KTS vs 340KTS, bigger cabin, improved lav, G3000, vs G1000. Thanks for watching!
Hey Rich another great video again. Would it be possible to do a video and walk us through the phenom 300. I saw one in your hangar there. Do you still have it?
Thanks for message. Yes - I will do a overview on the ground, and plan to do a flight soon as well.
Climbing to flight levels, does Garmin adjust altimeter to standard automatically?
Nope - but baro flashes at you to make the change.
What airport in Sacramento is that?
Rich, does it matter which engine you start first?
We try to alternate engines under normal wind conditions. If you have crosswind, normally start the downwind engine first. Thanks for watching!
320kg (1pilot + 3pax) + 80kg baggage. What’s the max fuel you could put in a mustang ?
Very nice. thanks for the informative video. what is the full fuel normal no wind range ?
1000 NM. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing. The Mustang is a great economical jet. Can you offer some comparison of the Mustang to the Eclipse in terms of performance and range? Thanks again.
We have an Eclipse based with us - I’ll be doing a video on it soon, but will get some real performance numbers posted here sooner. Thanks for watching!
Mustang - 340KTS in the mid 30K’s on 100g of gas, 1000 NM range.
Eclipse - 365
Eclipse 365 KTAS, 85 gal, 800 NM range according to my customer who owns one.
Flying with Rich But the Mustang has strong support behind it and a market with buyers. I love the Eclipse for the money but a huge risk given their situation on support and if you needed to sell.
Could you make a video of the lancair 4p flight review
I’m working on that. It’s a tough airplane to get insured in but I’m close. Stay tuned.
Rich, you are a very nice Pilot. I need to get you in you inbox.
A “reputation” for being slow? I love the Mustang but isn’t it the slowest jet you can buy?
Cirrus lists it’s Vision Jet max cruise speed at 311 KTAS so I guess technically the Vision Jet would be the slowest...Mustang slowest twin engine jet at 340 KTAS? I think so.
@@FlyingwithRich yup. Sounds right to me. :)
Suggestion we do not need music
