Thanks for the air tour of Pensacola, Josh. It brought back a lot of memories...I went through OCS at NAS Pensacola in 1971; trained at Saufley Field in the T-34B (recip T-34), and then on to Whiting Field in Milton, just northeast of Pensacola to train in the T-28's. In 1975 I came back to Whiting as a T-28 instructor, and in that capacity flew all over the Pensacola area and became very familiar with the landmarks. Much has changed!! Saufley Field is now a solar farm! Hard for this old timer to see those kinds of changes (progress?). Now after 8 years of Navy flying and 36 years of corporate flying, I've hung up my professional wings and just fly my Stinson 108. Your vlogs are outstanding. Stinson Guy.

It’s always nice when a CFI says “that was all you, I didn’t touch anything.” Hahaha

Just finished my flight in a 172 in southwest Florida this morning... Flew over the ten thousand islands and Marco Island. It was beautiful!

Way to show me where I grew up from the air! You did it justice. Thanks again! Fly safe.

17:34 that big ship by the tent at the port is owned by Blue Origin and being refurbished to be a landing platform ship for their New Glenn rocket.

Gorgeous scenery Josh. Thanks for what you share here and have a happy New year!

Thank you for sharing the Florida trip the views and scenery are beautiful take care.

I lived there in the 60's. We had a Whataburger in Pensacola even then. The old A-frame drive-in style, with a neon sign that would light up one letter at a time. Fun times hangin' out there. You flew right over my old house in Gulf Breeze. Thanks for the view!

I just did my first flight out of San Marcos Texas!! I loved it! you have inspired me to fly!!!

Dang! You were in my neck of the woods. I have my Cessna at Jack Edwards. It’s beautiful here! Paradise! Cool video of my area. I’ve not flown over Ft Pickens yet but I’ve ridden my motorcycle there many times. Also, love the naval base and the Blue Angels are the best! We are thrilled we live near their home! I flew to Ft Morgan the other day heading east to Dauphin Island and I was on the north side of the beach at 2500’ while the Blue Angels flew on the Gulf side. I had the best seat in the house! You do great work! It’s a joy seeing you grow and succeed. What a great inspiration. Especially, for young folks starting their life. Thank you for that

To the best of my knowledge, that big blue ship that you went over right before you hit downtown is owned by Sir Richard Branson and is being retrofitted for retrieval of some sort of equipment related to his Virgin Galactic rockets. I have flown Austin to Pensacola several times in my Archer to visit my sister, but have never done a sight seeing flight around the area. Will have to do that next time......

That "Josh!" On the frequency at 11:25 xD

Have a new and fortunate 2020, to continue doing your awesome flights!

HAPPY NEW YEAR JOSH , GREAT VIDS

Nice video Josh. Beaches look really nice. Thanks for the ride. Happy New Year.

TAMU College Station freshman year (‘69) Whataburger was the go-to destination. Still holds fond memories & smiles 50 years later.

As usual, beautiful scenery, great flight, new friends. Looking forward to the trip home.

I love this channel. I am not a pilot but i wanna be now. Thank you for everything you do.

Brings back memories from flight school at NAS Whiting Field many years ago (T-34C and TH-57 A and C). Flying along Pensacola Beach was always a treat!

Enjoying the latest vids Josh. Safe travels

First, your general aviation air adventures are awesome! Your sharing of information and thought processes are next to none. I have a couple of your series yet to view but what I've seen so far is the best of many I have viewed. Happy New Year! Keep them coming in 2020! Remind me to tell you about the Lear pilot that flipped out after flying my Helton Aircraft Lark 95 way back in the early 70's... He called it a "Real Flying".

Awesome video, I lived in Pensacola for 18 months in the early 2000s and spent a lot of time on those white sand beaches ... fell in love with the place

“is that a whataburger?” killed me 😂

No better way to end the year than enjoy one of your videos, happy new year!

I love this area of Florida!

A101, love the compass placement! Great idea (post G5) to do. Keeps it in your scan and less glare from sun. Another great video!

hi josh great video !!!! happy new year to you all

Even more simple in an old Champ. Thanks for the video, was stationed in PCola in 64 and it has changed a bit :)

Hey Josh, I really enjoyed this video. You strike a great balance of being professional yet casual, doing all the right things which keep us pilots safe while still having lots of fun. And of course I get a bit jealous looking at the Florida scenery when there's just snow and gray skies outside my window here in Iowa today. All the best for 2020, and I look forward to more videos from you. - Martin

I miss Whataburger... only bad thing about Alaska! LoL great flight, thanks for sharing!

Sometimes it's fun just to slow down and smell the roses:) Cheers, Rik Spector

Yes we have Whataburgers here 😉. Come back when you can stay longer and see how awesome FL really is around Pcola and Destin!

Very nice video Josh. I've been thru the Pcola area several times that whole area along the beach is beautiful from the ground i can just imagine how it looks from your view. Stay safe I'll be looking for the next adventure

Thanks for sharing 👏 happy new year 👍

I went to college there at UWF back in the early 2000s! I haven't lived there since 2012 but it's cool getting to see it all again. You spoke of the hurricanes....Hurricane Ivan destroyed Pensacola Beach in 2004 and ripped up UWF as well, no college for 2 months! Great video man.

My home town! Gorgeous place, and not too touristy.

I see my Condo! Love Gulf Shores ... Tall tower due south of Jack Edwards on the beach

If I heard N80991 in the So-Cal area, I’d probably say “JOSH!” Too😂😂

Very cool to see you in and flying over the place I live!

It was great seeing Orange Beach, Gulf Shores and Fort Morgan Alabama from the air. You went over my condo of 15 years. I am at KJKA (Jack Edwards) several times a year. The Navy Blue Angels fly that beach area a lot in the summer.

Now theres some names of places around Pensacola I haven't heard in more than 30 years since I left the Navy. Been across that 3 mile bridge a few times to Pensacola Beach and up to Navarre. Nice view of the water from 500 feet.

very cool flight. Happy New Year.

Awesome video Josh! I actually work in that big hangar that was off to your right at the end of runway 35 on your climb out. It’s neat to see a video from my local area!

Too cool. Fly ON.

172: one of the greats.

awesome video like usual. I live in Pensacola about 4 miles west of the navy base. you flew close to my house. Keep up the great videos.

We get to that area often but never get the chance to fly around as you did. Thanks for sharing.

I’ve traveled and spent time in most every Florida city and Pensacola/Navarre are my favorite areas. The people are nice and the water is beautiful. If you have time to explore Ft Pickens it is well worth the time. You also flew past a couple of great places to eat and have a cold adult beverage. Land Shark Landing next to the Margaritaville Hotel is a great beach bar. Peg Leg Pete’s is a great place to eat. You’ve got to get back there and spent some time in the area.

This looks so nice

At time 17:10ish, you flew right over a house I used to live in and the elementary school I went to when we lived in Gulf Breeze, back in the mid 1960’s!

Was searching for flying the PNS area, I try to rent and fly when I come visit family. Enjoyed the video very much. Memories! Costal, Elsanor, Milton, Fergerson. Fun little airfields.

Just recently started filming with three camera set up in my plane and man do I respect you and your production quality. It takes so long to edit just three different angles let alone the five or so cameras you have. Clear skies brother.

Beautiful ✈️👍🤘

Great video of my hometown!!! Feel free to come back anytime and I’ll pay for lunch!! Keep up the great videos @aviation101

I went down there to see the Naval Airstation and it’s amazing. Great video man.

Great flight, thanks so much for sharing. Good video, would liked to have heard the engine throughout.

My local flying field and I'm ATC for PNS approach. Nice quiet day during these holiday weeks. :)

Very nice !

You mentioned "Navarre" and it brought back some great childhood memories

So cool to see this area from the air. I have relatives living in Navarre. There's a little grass strip there (Fort Walton Beach Airport 1J9) that I want to fly to someday.

Next upgrade for 80991, SureFly SIM4P electronic mag ... no more whispering sweet nothings to get that baby to light up. :)

Awesome video. Love that area. Heading down that way from Ohio on Jan 12 for a week of Fire department training at the Hilton on the beach. Escambia County Fire Chief Curt Isakson hosts some of the nations best Fire fighting seminars at that hotel.

My son was stationed at Hurlburt Field when he was in the Air Force (electrician on AC130H gunships) and he lived in Navarre. It's hard to believe how much the storm affected the area. Kind of. We get our "stuff" kicked here in Texas too. BTW - Whataburger is in FL because so many Texans were stationed around there :o) The venerable C172 is always a kick to fly no matter what you've been flying

Awesome video! What's the song you used in the beginning? Would love to fly down there some day.

Pensacola is my home town. After I get my pilot certifications/license I would love to fly over there.

Thanks.

Greetings from Port St. Joe/Cape San Blas, FL

That is a pretty CIvil Air Patrol 182 in the intro! Have you ever thought about volunteering with them? One of their main missions is Aerospace Education/STEM for kids. As a CFI you would be a great help and could get a lot of local kids started towards a future aviation career. I think they have a squadron at your home airport too.

Love it.

10:15 BANK ANGLE! BANK ANGLE!

Dang man, had no idea that was you! I was wondering what was up with all of the go pro mounts in your cockpit haha. I fueled your 172 out at PAC. Small world ha

That Whataburger comment.. lol. The one you spotted was in GulF Breeze, FL.

I love your vids

Wow, flying in Florida looks so cool! Too bad I’m in Colorado haha. Maybe when I get my license and have the money to fly all the way down there!

Have you ever done or will you do a video on your camera/audio setup in the plane and studio? I am wondering about running the audio from the cockpit into a recorder vs the gopro. Have the cable to plug into the headset on order but having used one before with a gopro in the sim I was very unhappy with the audio quality.

Fantastic video! I’m sure it’s listed somewhere but what camcorder do you use along with the GoPros?

Ever flown around fort morgan/ the airport in gulfshores or dauphin island?

If you're ever back in the area, check out Dauphin Island (Jeremiah Denton 4R9). It's almost completely surrounded by water and makes for a really unique landing experience.

So, as always- great video. I can't afford cockpit club, but, I have subscribed (I thought a long time ago- but, I'm old- can't remember when?) and hit ALL notifications, so, I can get new content. It's a struggle, wanting good content, but, unable to afford the premium subscriptions, but- I'm sure that I will join when cash flow improves. Keep it up and thanks for NOT forgetting us 'regular folk' who enjoy your edits! Dave

Hi Josh! Great video. Is there a way to pay for cocpit club other than paypal? Love your videos and keep up the good work.

Not the Goose stach ..😂

I would have liked to hear you discuss FAR Part 93 in this video

Which cameras do you use on board? Nice videos! :D

Enjoying your videos ! What kind of GPS in the panel?

Nice

So bright out for 21:00

Does anybody know what the music is called at he start of the video? I can’t think where I’ve heard it before?!?!

Will you ever come to Muskogee ok

I’m dying of laughter 11:28 “Josh” I about fell out of my chair😂😂😂😂

Is that a Whataburger?

Is that a whataburger?!

this makes me want to get a private license and fly a cessna around monterey :)

Thanks for the video's I enjoyed it, I am in my late 60's and watch all of your videos and they are GREAT THANKS

Is that thing has an autopilot

Snow here

whats the intro song?

I live in pensacola and have nvr flown over the beach thats beautiful

Kinda curious! Does this plane have a/c and heater inside?

What is proceed P A C?

How come you were under 500 ft when you were flying over water. I thought 500ft minimum separation was required over water and 1000ft separation over land?
