What did you do?

Barry Harris - Hi Barry, I did a short flight from Ramey AFB, to Ponce, when I was stationed there in '66. Great scenery!

So awesome!

That shoutout was really cool.

I seriously thought that was "Welcome to PR Gringo!"

Thanks FlightChops.... Mike I would never call that to a fellow American..... I guess is the Multi-language accent :)

By the way my Cessna Made it on the Video!!!!

Jon Wagner I agree.

Douglas Mast i second that 🙌

Richard Churchill spent a few weeks there myself with VFA-15 back in '88

Richard Churchill Rosie Roads. A name I haven't heard in a long long time. Navy March 77 to 81.

Retired Navy here. Spent lots of time at the pier at Rosey Roads. Never had an opportunity to fly there though.

Richard Churchill wasn't 332 in 2ND MAW....I was in H&MS14 back in early 70's...been so long ago not sure if my memory is correct.

Richard Churchill I live not a mile from what's left of NAS South Weymouth, pretty cool to hear from someone who spent some time there

I did the same thing! And poured myself another coffee, at 3 in the afternoon, haha. Love these videos!

+Raul Marquez it was nice to meet you Raul! Thanks for coming down to say hi.

Wow, a similar situation here, was a commercial pilot flying small turbines at the end when I was walking to my elderly aunts house one evening, got hit by a car which took off, left me with a broken neck, a broken back, and a host of other problems, and lost my medical, am now going blind too, but it's been just 2 1/2 yrs. since I've been in the air, and I miss it so badly it hurts, but these videos at least let me get up in the cockpit again!

Runways have names?

Nick_NspireAviation_ H I will

I'm not sure if the same applies in the US. In Australia you must not fly for revenue on a PPL. That means no being paid to fly an empty aircraft, transport passengers or derive any income from flying. You are however allowed to share the operational costs of flying an aircraft with friends and family. It is strictly personal flying. If you wish to do otherwise, commercial license.

Thanks ever so much Adrian!

Hey ziya1only, as a student at ATP that has a PPL, with an Instrument on the way, soon to be on the commercial phase, I just wanted to answer your question about what you can do with that PPL. So as Adrian has said below, you cannot fly for revenue. According to FARs, you cannot fly more than pro-rata share of the cost of the aircraft and associated fees. For example, you and your co-worker fly in a Cessna 172, if the aircraft total cost was $360 for your two hour flight, your co-worker can pay you no more than $180. So if you fly with 4 people, and we take the same $360 total, you divide the total number by 4, and they each pay you that, and no more. You can explore the country, but you must plan carefully to stay out of IMC (instrument meteorologic conditions), or else you will be in some deep trouble, not just with the FAA. You are only limited to a VFR flight, so you must fly strictly by visual references (Nav log), not just a GPS. Your best bet is getting your Private and follow that up with your Instrument certification, then work on the Commercial license. Your best bet is to go for your R-ATP/ATP as that will lead to a brighter since airlines require that. You have a few options on getting all your certifications; you could pay out of pocket and do it a little at a time, slowly building hours. The route I took is going to a dedicated flight school (I chose ATP, but there are others like Aerosim, US Aviation Academy, etc), which you can also pay out of pocket if you have the money, or take out a student loan (which is how most do this). This is an expensive career to get into, but you will make it back and more. It is said the careers/professions that require a high amount of investment, financial and time, are often the most rewarding in time. The money is only a small part of the reward. Look at his view every time Steveo steps into his office, it does't get any better than that! Good Luck with your future endeavors and let me know if you have any questions. I will be glad to help!

This is a corporate plane that is used to fly the execs around as needed. He is hired by the company to fly and manage the plane.

That foreign country is the USA - but I know what you mean, just being a wise ass.

it is a country

Technically Puerto Rico is a Commonwealth and belongs to the United States of America. Puerto Ricans are American citizens and they even have representation in congress (the House, not the Senate). Name another independent country where that is the case?

Barry McBride Come down here and visit us! It's a flyers heaven. Airports all over the island. Muñoz Marín Int'l and the smaller Rivas Dominicci Executive airport, both in SJ; Mayaguez Regional (west coast); Rafael Hernández Regional (northwest, used to be Ramey AFB), and Ponce Regional in the south; just to mention a few examples. And then, you can fly to the islands of Vieques and/or Culebras, not too far from Ceiba. You also have the USVI very close to the east coast of PR. You will not regret it.

@@jayzenitram9621 Guam.

Yes he does but the company doesn't want their execs and staff in the videos.

metroliners had serious problems.

I believe this is the NTSB report below. aerossurance.com/air-accidents-incidents/ntsb-pr-sa227-metro-iii-loc-i/ We just had a Cessna 414 crash. I was surprised to see how many 414s have crashed. Speculation on over speed or a wing break up causing the crash.

@@michiganskinny2033 thanks

Thanks for your wishes.

B-Man 123 He said in a different comment that his boss was in the plane but doesn't like to be filmed

The Caribbean Aviator lucky😠 lol

Timothy Hunt lol

My wife and I visited St. Thomas and I am totally in love if I ever hit the lottery I am moving there.

Haha I'm glad you enjoyed it here. You should come back for a vacation. It's the laid back lifestyle that I love.

I loved it also especially truck bay and I can't get back there fast enough. Apparently I came during the rainy season because it rained everyday but one out of five that was kinda depressing but that comes with the island life. We stayed in red hook.

there are several airlines that do type ratings and train to hire. delta is for sure one of them.

You don't need 1500 hours on a type of aircraft. You need 1500 hours of total flying time to be eligible to apply for the airline with a commercial certificate here in the USA.
