And I was hoping we were about to see Josh take on 48kn winds!!

Josh - Outstanding video and absolutely cannot wait for the next one. I really love the way you use the word "our" when talking about your future.

That landinggggg 🧈

This was a spectacular video of a short evening flight up the coast to SLO. I did my "long XC" from Napa County Airport to SLO back in 1975 when I was a high school kid learning to fly. Hope you return to California and further explore the northern part of the state, in and around the Bay Area. Some of my best flying memories are "sunset" flights over the coast, the GG Bridge, esp. when the scattered clouds and fog roll in. What a superb "training video" on checklists. I see too many that don't use them or simply go by memory.

I think a MAJOR hint got dropped at the end there…….. 💍

Josh, a big HELLO from CYQT. 🇨🇦👋 WOW .. absolutely LOVE your videos. Love the narration, how you draw us in, like we are all in the plane experiencing the flight with you.👍👍 As a student pilot with 54 hours I really appreciate and enjoy how you go thru ALL your check lists. At times you give a brief explanation of why you did something, or the importance and significance of a step in the check list and if missed how it could negatively effect the flight ... or the order in which you did it and the importance of that ... all the way from planning, preflight to tie down and every thing in between. Look forward to future videos. ALWAYS entertaining, enjoyable and educational. THANK YOU for sharing your knowledge of General Aviation to the world and helping us become better and safer pilots! 👍🇨🇦👍

Hi Josh. I enjoy all your videos, including your epic adventures, and lessons in maintaining proficiency. But I also enjoyed seeing this simple VFR flight, how you teach, and listen to you talking through everything! All while enjoying the beautiful scenery there in CA. Thanks.

I used to work right across the street from this airport and would have drinks at Spirit of San Luis several times a week with the buds. Welcome to SLO!

Always love the relaxed flight videos! Thanks for continuing to make them :)

Thank you for all these fantastic videos. It is always a pleasure to be taken along on your adventures. I also learn a lot on my personal path to IFR. Best regards from Bavaria

Your videos allow me to go and see places that I would never see otherwise. Thank you and Chelsia so much for all your hard work.

With that title I though you were about to tackle 48kt winds! It's always great to see the aviation community coming together, and glad the airplane is safe.

I need this man as my flight instructor

So cool! I live in Santa Maria and I’ve been watching your videos for a long time! Never thought you’d fly into our tiny little airport!

Fabulous video Josh! I think I enjoyed this video the most of all of yours in this series so far! What a scenic flight with some excellent views! I hope you’re enjoying your time in California and I will see you semi soon at Oshkosh!! 😃 Cool! 😎 Cheers 🥂 Caleb’s Aviation 😊

Nice video! Remember doing this quick hop myself with the Caravan for a FedEx Feeder. Thank you for inspiring me for my own aviation journey that started years ago. Safe flying!

Oh boy, I know what’s coming. You’re finally going to ask her to go steady 😂😂😂

Each new video sets my mood for the day to GREAT, Thank You!

Love to See the MT ANG C 130's make a KZfaq appearance!

I landed a twin in CYUL (Montreal) with 58kts winds. Thankfully it was almost straight down runway 24. Actually made for a beautiful landing. Enjoy your videos. Keep them coming.

big stuff coming!

Nicely done. Nicely done indeed--from start to finish.

On your short final to KSPB, you few over Tolosa winery. I hope you got a chance to try our their great wines.

Another great video! Awesome work !

Checklists are a good idea for lots of professions, not just flying! I have been in software development for 25+ years and I still use checklists for some things just to be sure I don't forget something critical.

Great seeing you discuss all procedures. Fun seeing you flying in my old turf when I was at Cal Poly and got my PPL at SLO airport in '83 and aerobatics training at Santa Maria.

Beautiful!

"...our new home..." "...2,000 miles away..." we see what you did there, josh. good on you! continued success to both of you!

Excellent technical video. More like this please

Nice video, Thanks!

Amazing scenery!

Josh, awesome video! Take care, be safe, and fly safe….

that was a darn good landing!

Wow, beautiful airport scenery with a beautiful FBO. Double win.

A look toward Morro Rock & Bay departing KSBP is beautiful. Be sure to capture that on your next flight there. Great job capturing the scenery.

Awesome!

Thank you !

I'm love the views from your plane. I always wanted to fly but age and health stops me so i live it though videos any yours are the best thank you.

Awesome! best aviation channel on the tube

The first racing school I worked for used the kart track at the Santa Maria Airport every now and then. Brings back memories. Appreciate the amazing content you create and thank you for pushing us pilots to always strive to do better 🍻

Love your videos

Another great video.

You put out great content, thanks

As always a good video. God's blessings to Josh and Chelsea. Don

I only wish that I could have done what you can do at your age. I was working 60 hour weeks with two jobs. I hope you appreciate how lucky you and Chelsea are to be able to experience this when you are that young.

I’ve made that same flight (although in a piper cherokee) when I used to live in Santa Maria. Circa 1992.

Josh great flying. Love your videos… major hint dropped

Good video, great views. Are you using a regular size iPad? I am using a mini but am considering using a standard size for Fore flight

Hey Josh thanks for the videos. I am a low hour pilot up in Paso Robles. I hope you enjoyed your time on the Central Coast. Great videos. I love the instruction you provide. Great stuff.

Nice backing track brother ❤

Holy Cliffhanger, Batman!

Josh - hope you were able to see Oceano L52 !!! Short field and you take off right over the beach !!!

Nice video! I’m flying out of KVNY and KSMO.

I like the comment about check lists. Brakes check!

We would like to see more of your videos

I remember landing at KHYI and asking ground what happened to the flipped 172 while tied down. They said a microburst came through and ripped the tail strap.

Just yesterday we landed in 47 knot winds. We were on final for what felt like 10 minutes. It felt like we were barely moving over the ground, like 50 knots groundspeed at 2400 rpm. The planes pointed into the wind on the ramp looked like they were trying to take off. Wild stuff.

nice aviation & avionics on board

Nice edit at the beginning😂

Can you edit your checklist? For ATIS/AWOS it is says, "recieved"

Josh, can I just ask, is your checklist through Garmin Pilot?

G,day from Sydney Australia. New windshield in the 150 and all taped for painting. What's in the panel; steam gauges or glass? 🌏🇦🇺

Nice updated panel

Another beautiful edited video. Settling in a new home? Is what I have been waiting for coming true? Safe travels. And thank you for your support on my Story.

New challenge try to land the plane in a strong enough wind that you touch down moving backwards haha. Only joking. Great video as per usual. Thanks for sharing.

Uh oh!! As a subscriber since day_1, I think I know what it is! Really looking forward to it!! 8) --gary

Another great video, looking forward to the next one. By chance are you and Chelsea going to be at Oshkosh/AirVenture this year? Would be great to stop by and say Hi.

does any one got any tips for me as a student pilot going for the private pilot check ride

I’m guessing that’s a move to Nashville, TN??

What's the song at the end of the video?

I was wondering when you would grab the key.

Where are you moving?

8:25 Checklists aren't perfect. I once missed the very item on the list that would have resolved my in-flight emergency (fuel selector). Luckily I caught it on the prelanding list where it appears again.

Hi Josh. What Check list do you use ??

Hi Josh, I noticed on your landing you had the carb heat on all the way to touchdown. I was taught to remove carb heat before landing in case of a go around and the need for full power. Obviously, with carb heat out you would not have full power. Your thoughts? By the way, great videos what a professional.

OH BOY its finally happening! I think a lot of us thought it was going to happen a while back when you flew her out to video your friend bending the knee. That Thumbnail sucked us in.

I immediately think of 'Hoot' Gibson, Shuttle astronaut, if I remember well, he is from SLO,,,

You know when you hold the aircraft until it's loses the required airspeed to stay up, what if it continues floating due to "ground effect", how far down the runway do you go before initiating a TOGA go around?

2:48 “need it to get to 100 before you do a runup” where do you get that? Lycoming doesn’t have a minimum oil temperature.. I like to see 85 or so myself, but you don’t “need” to get to a certain temperature before runup.

I know this is just my preference, but I'm not sure I would want all the automation and avionics, even if I could afford it. I can identify 3 mile final visually (as I'm sure you can, too.) I'm just kind of old school.

Hmm, something coming up that he needed help with. 😉

Yep--it’s coming.

Any bets on a proposal?

I was really trying to find something to nitpick in your video for some good ol' internet controversy, but I have to admit, your content is just too good! Guess I'll just have to settle for enjoying your awesome videos like everyone else. Keep up the great work!"

Gonna put a ring on it, aren't you! Remember, you're not gaining a wife, you're giving up half of your airplane!

If you are correct, it’s been a long time coming

Vy after rotation, not Vx ?

Hum ring a ding a ling?

Hi

Hey Josh, I have a hookup at the Monterey Bay Aquarium if you want to do behind the scenes stuff.

Video title highly suggests a landing in 48kt wind. 6kts is fairly different, yes? Since the wind at SBP is nearly always right down the runway, it could be done in that 172, but very challenging. I hope to not see this type of click bait on your channel.

likes here ty :)

that was basically zero wind

I little clickbait, no? The 48 kt winds and your landing did not overlap. Thought I might see some real flying for a second. I actually did land at SBP during that storm but I don’t film my videos.

hint y :)

Absolute clickbait title. Be better than that.

little disappointed here. I'm a fan, but not of click-bait titles like that...
