Today we take the Bonanza from Southern California to Silicon Valley! I work from home as a full-time software engineer, and in today's video, we fly the Bonanza up to visit my in-person office for a team event. Thanks for watching!
Answers to Frequently Asked Questions:
I work remotely, so I only do this trip about twice a year or less. Fun fact, it's more efficient for me to fly my airplane than to drive my car for this trip!
I work as a mobile app developer, mostly focusing on iOS development
My airplane is a 1952 C35 Bonanza, so it's 70 years old!

I'm a newbie to this channel but I am thoroughly enjoying it. My Dad used to have a flying school back in the early 2000s and we used to go all over the place (Southern France mainly) and see the sights. I learned to fly by 16 and got as far as my first solo but end of school exams & college all took precedence at the time. Oh I do miss that sensation as you rotate and watch the world shrink away (slowly), nipping through the clouds, sitting above the cloud level in sunshine, knowing below you is dull and raining 😂

PS - I know you're a software engineer and flying is a hobby. I would give you a 90% chance of a fighter out of SUPT if you ever wanted to climb that mountain. Also, as an engineer - test pilot and astronaut is also viable. Just saying - if you ever see those guys/gals and wonder "if I could do that" - I'm here to tell you the odds are excellent.

Unfortunately where I lived precluded me realizing that dream. And shortly after passing my 40th anniversary I finally made my peace and buried that dream. Today, a good decade later, I would not be able to pass a medical. But even so, my eyes always brim with water when I watch your take-offs. And as others have stated repeatedly, I also appreciate how you include at least a brief glimpse of the pre-flight walk-around *AND* your full pre-flight check-list in your videos. You are setting a very good example for others to follow.

I flew my Cessna172 40yrs ago in S.A.... never as afficient and dilligent as you! Thanks for allowing me to 'continue flying' with you. You are amazing. I also did MotorCycling and now follow 'ItchyBoots' on her adventures. Inspiring lovely people keeping older folks alive! Thanks!

I’ve always loved that you show your extensive pre-flight checks. The Dale Snodgrass tragedy could’ve been prevented by a quick movement check of the yoke.

I found a small museum in Tullahoma, Tennessee called the Beechcraft Heritage Museum. They have a lot of displays and memorabilia dedicated to the women of aviation’s early years. I told them about your channel and your ownership of a V-tail Bonanza. Said they would love to hear from you and have you attend their “Beech Party” this October. By the way, I really enjoy your channel. It’s good to see that young people still can and do have interest in aviation.

THIS!!!! I am currently working to transition into coding (html, css, JS) and learning has been a slog. Your videos have been what keep me going. And they actually inspired me to take my first discovery flight! I'm going for my birthday this month (july 24th). Then I found out on one of your pages that you are a coder too and I was like, "Whaaaat!!?? flying and coding is exactly what I want to do!" I live in SLO county! I hope I run into you in the flight community one day! :)

My dad lives in northern Cali and it sucks that I only see him twice a year 🥺 but if I can learn to fly, I can just go there myself every other weekend! He lives right next to a tiny airport too.

In February of this year (2023), I was home sick with food poisoning, watching videos on KZfaq, and this video was suggested to me. I wasn't watching aviation videos on KZfaq at the time, but this looked interesting (and I'm a Bay Area native), so I checked it out. I watched it 3 times and got inspired to look into flight lessons in my area. I went on my discovery flight on February 20, and yesterday I passed my private pilot check ride.🥳Thank you for inspiring me to pursue a dream and see it through. Next up, instrument training.
