    On this flight they must have eagle eyes to see 10 mile without using helpers glasses but its nice to be informed of the traffic!! Really nice trip, but I bet they see the tail and that does match when a differ number is giveout!!

    This is great I have to limit myself to two trips if I didn't all of a sudden ts 5 am and I have to get up a 6. Flying inside the EU has to be I feebly easy compared with all the customs hassles moving from country to country. I've flown into Mexico a few times and deal with customs on both sides. Thanks for putting your videos on TH-cam I love this

    Hey Driver! As an American (born in Illinois), I spent (never-the-less) 17-years of my adult life living in Europe. I see (and hear) that my German cousins took good care of you during your "trans-Atlantic" departure... DNA says that I am about half German-Bavaian & German-Saxon. :) One of my KUHMANN cousins (Berlin) is a retired German Air Force fighter pilot (an "Oberstleutnant" = a German Air Force rank equal to Lieutenant Colonel, above Major, and below Oberst). He watched your YOU TUBE "ferry" videos too, and agrees that the "faking" was very well done ... lol Fabulous scenery! Thank you for sharing an experience of a life-time!

  • @feuquegougueul1592

    Second time I watch these vids, always pretty cool for a pilot to fly in jeans and shirt, no uniform, no ennoying pax...
    I would have enjoy if I had the qualifications, but my experience is no more than Cessna 172 or Robin DR 400.
    Thx for sharing.

    Hey Greg, good to see ya again man, Greg years and years ago I use to be a private dee jay, I was never on the radio but had a pretty lucrative business going on that earned me a lot of sideline money I remember sometimes when I would be tearing down my equipment somebody would always volunteer to help although I was grateful for the help it had to denied for several reason I didn't trust any body to handle my equipment and I didn't want to leave anything behind, the same with you but on a much larger and completely more dangerous than mine, but do you feel at ease that when you are preparing the jet for take off that people riding along just reaches up and starts turning knobs and flipping switches I just don't trust anybody to do my job for me, I've said enough so I'll sit in the back since the right seat has been taken, hope this will be a smooth and happy flight...

  • @thecman26
    @thecman26 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

  • @Craneman4100w
    @Craneman4100w 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Love your videos. A few questions if I may. I noticed in one of your videos you grabbed an ankle for a little gravity assist over the center console. I'm 6'3" and now wonder if I might end up cleaning a few switches off that panel with a size 12... Besides what appears to be excellent performance, the Premier also has the yokes sprouting from the dash (like) rather than on pedestals protruding from the floor (don't like). I also picked up your opinion of the G3000 being a better choice than the Pro Line 21. No doubt I have a long way to go in my research but am curious as to your opinion on the Premier and other aircraft. Was the Premier a first choice or a deal that couldn't be passed up. But for a better deal or a few extra sheckles might you be flying under a different monicker?

    • @gregmink
      @gregmink  9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Craneman I am 6'3" and you just have to be careful not to drag your foot across the center console when getting in. I love the Premier. Its limitations are range and payload, so you need to get into the AFM and make sure it will do what you want it to do. In the plus column, it has a huge cabin (for a light jet), big plane avionics, speed and efficiency. If money were no object and I wanted single pilot capability, I'd buy a Phenom 300.

    • @Craneman4100w

    • @gregmink
      @gregmink  9 ปีที่แล้ว

      drklain Hi Dave- Thanks for the comment. I didn't load the database in the plane so I am not sure what happened. The iPad though is a stand alone system but yes, it is surprising that the approach wasn't in there. I still don't understand why.

    • @drklain
      @drklain 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Premier 1 Driver Might be worth dropping Jeppesen a note (I assume it's the Jepp worldwide database). It could be something they've dropped but odd given that Wick is used for a number of translants...

    • @gregmink
      @gregmink  9 ปีที่แล้ว

      We had the approach to the other runway, just not the one we had to fly. Of course we had it on the iPad so we were't without it. We just didn't have it in the database. We had to do it old school!

    Hey guys, very good video, Im sure it has to be a good machine to fly! as I picked up from the audio you 2 guys are from north america, I have no Idea about your procedures there but they shouldn't be different, I want to say that I do not see good crew coordination between you two, I normally do take off/departure briefing and set up before start up the engines, never while taxing, that doesn't look like a good briefing at all.
    All the rest looks really fine! good job!

      Yes, Foreflight although on this trip we had Jepp running since Foreflight didn't have international at that time.

    Hey great video Greg! I’m a recent subscriber and I’ve been going back trying to catch up. Thanks for the great content and you have re inspired me to finish my PPL and move up from there. Quick question (s). Was this after you got 390GM? If so, what would be the reason for you flying this A1 over? Just curious. Thanks!

    This is an old one, just now seeing it! What does rain do to the performance of the engine?
    Probably could have asked one of the engineers at work (Eaton aerospace), but I think a pilot would have a different understanding of it.

    Man this guy is sure busy. Is this the same guy who did that Eagle to Denver solo to pick up a son? How many hours does he chalk up in a typical 365 day year? And oh, by the way I work near Mr. Lears flight testing facility north of Reno NV USA.

    Taxpayer's money grave and laughing stock for the whole country. The southern runway just in use because the other one's being refurbished :) I would have loved to see you there, I'm there for "recreational spotting" combined with bicycle training quite often...

    • @gregmink
      @gregmink  9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Phil Jehmineh I assume you are speaking of Schoenefeld? The taxi driver said something about it but I didn't understand. He also commented on what a shame it was that Tempelhof was closed and that was a big political mess.

    • @Herr_Jehmineh
      @Herr_Jehmineh 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Premier 1 Driver Yes SXF. The new airport buildings are just there for nothing now, since they could not open the airport because of (what officially was told) issues with the smoke ventilation system. Under the line it's all about corruption, mismanagement and political fails. It's a total disaster and costs taxpayer's money every day while they postpone the opening date all the time or even don't know if it will ever be opened. As well as the dimension is too small for the target amount of flights/passengers so they would need another runway and then of course there's a lot of resistance in the villages around it because of noise and all.... I think you had to do the slight left turn directly after takeoff as well, didn't you?

    • @gregmink
      @gregmink  9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Phil Jehmineh I saw the new terminal and it looked complete. I was wondering why it wasn't in use. Yes, a left turn immediately after takeoff from runway 25L.
