Really embracing that Texas lifestyle with the pickup truck👍

Fair play to you Noel, from your career in IT to taking a punt on SCAT airlines and starting a KZfaq channel to the life you’ve created for you family now. Inspiring 👏👏

Can’t believe you didn’t talk about the main thing which makes Bucees stand out from the rest besides the cheap gas.. The CLEANEST bathrooms, of which they advertise 100miles out with “you can hold it” signs! Surely should of been a loo review opportunity 🤣

Lets recap: Truck ✅ Loves HEB ✅ Loves Buc'ees ✅ Noel is working for his Texas citizenship card! 🤣

It's 110 degrees! Switch to Fahrenheit so you can say it's triple digit heat!

The voice of ATC has to be the default voice for anywhere. I swear I hear that voice everytime I watch any flight videos 😁😁

Noel - another great video. Never a dull moment in or out of Hooks. Great review of Buc-ees! Cleanest bathrooms on any Texas road trip!

The stadium at 13:58 is the Berry Center… the most expensive high school football stadium in Texas.. so cool to see my neck of the woods from the air!

Welcome to Texas Noel.... You will find that no matter if you are in a plane, rocket, tank or whatever.... everything takes a backseat to a pickup truck!!!!!

Talk about laugh flying to grab breakfast. What a magnificent day to fly This is the first of your piloting vlogs Ive seen as Ive only just subscribed and I love it Can't wait to see your flying experiences Noel Happy Landings

Great video. I’m reliving my stint in Colorado. A friend made a smoker from an old military engine case and it was the best I’ve ever had. Might want to wear a helmet on that scooter! I’ve fallen off mine enough times to tell me it’s a necessity.

Virginia native here - We went to Buccee's for the first time this summer with my wife's family from Lithuania - it was an experience! lol - Coming from florida, back to Virginia we hit the Bucee's in North Carolina, and WOW! CCCCCCCCCrazy! And to experience it with Lithuanians here for a summer holiday was even better! The looks on our faces as to how huge the palce was, but they sure were the cheapest gas around! (great food, too!!)

Hooks Airport in Tomball? 20 years ago that whole area was COUNTRY. I did a LOT of work around there. It was all country 2 lane back roads. Now its all built up with a huge freeway going right through the area. And that's about 6 miles on a scooter that Buc-cee's lol.

Noel you are such a fantastic man, thanks for this video and my regards to your lovely family

Nice short flight to Houston Executive. No loo review needed at Buc -ee’s as they have the cleanest bathrooms anywhere. Thanks for sharing your journey.

Well, you should’ve come to the largest true buccees, here in New Braunfels, TX- next time head on over to our airport, also very close to the buccees.

Love Buc-ee’s! Come fly to St Augustine airport here in Florida. We have one here at World Golf Village!

There is a place near me (here in Queensland, Australia) that does amazing Texas style smoked beef brisket and I agree that it is awesome food (given the choice between smoked beef brisket from this place or a good bit of steak at a comparable price point from a pub or something, I would choose the brisket every time)

Another v informative and enjoyable report. Thanks !!!

I've visited a Buc'ees in Tennessee, and thought it was amazing.

Thanks a lot Noel! That brisket sandwich looked so good and made me hungry! Now I have run and get one from Buccees up here in Denton!

Great video Noel your videos are always exciting to watch.

love it Noel, Great vid!

Just flew a plane to the garage for a bit o brekkie, but a bit of a woooss on a scooter 😂. I love it! Tremendous

Awesome video! You're having so much fun, and the views are amazing. My mouth watered watching you eat that brisket, so jealous. Texas has so many wonderful things like barbecue, TexMex food, etc. The next time I get back to Texas, I'm gonna indulge in some brisket. Never been to Buc'ees, gotta get there. All that jerky, OMG! Couldn't live there though. I hate hot weather, is why I live in da frozen tundra of Wisconsin. I can't imagine what you all are going through with the heat. But it looks like you're rocking it.

Buc-ees is a magical place. It reminds me of road trips we'd take, my father and I.

KTME and that Buc'ees is just down the road from my house. KELA has a really good BBQ spot near by and KLBX has a good restaurant on the field.

Use to be more grass landing fields up to about 2001. I think the changes kind of forced them to close.

As usual, I enjoyed your video and really enjoyed visiting with you and Rachel at Airventure. Stay cool!

Buccees is awesome. Always snag beef jerky and pickled green beans.😊

I didn't know you are a pilot too Noel. Wow. Cool.

Next Saturday evening you should fly up over College Station and get some shots of the chaos that is college football.

I love it. Noel is full on now. USA good. Texas hell yeah. Truck but of course.

The off road on the scooter looked a bit wild! Wouldn't do that here in South Africa.. great video, look forward to your next adventure mission!

Brisket on the board!! 😀 They have them here now in Florida and when ever we’re near one it’s a must stop!

Noel, I would love to see a video about your journey to getting your pilots licence. As a healthcare worker , working on the front line during covid, I realised that I didn't have any real hobbies other than cooking. It's my dream to get a PPL.

I believe this is how it originally was envisioned decades ago; everybody flying to their destinations more or less. There was also a youtuber who went to the Mac Donalds with his paramotor. I only miss the 'Loo Review".

Buc-ees has made it to SC. I haven't gotten to go yet but I am planning on going. What a fun day. Be careful on your scooter. You are not required to wear a helmet? Thanks for the video.

That's the emptiest baggage compartment of a rental plane I've seen! (At my flight school, there was usually a small step-ladder, a milk crate with several quarts of oil, cleaning supplies, rags, the fuel strainer and fuel tank straw, a set of chocks, a tow bar, and a host of other miscellaneous nonsense.) Also, the place where I rent doesn't allow operations on grass (or otherwise non-paved) runways. 😔 Edit: I just got to the point in the video where Noel mentions his flight school has the same rules.

Great video, and looked like a textbook landing. Looked like that FBO had C-check facility or an engine shop. Good Cessna mx and maintenance there?

That was COOL Noel on a hot day. Love the scooter and the novel idea for the video. BTW keep safe with scooter batteries as some brands have caused fires, but your scooter looks like a high quality one so hopefully no problems. Keep these great videos coming. Greeting from Oz.

I can't believe you took that scooter all the way from Houston Exec! You went right by my neighborhood, Cane Island.

its very neat going in that store for the first time they have spread all over the southeast now not just texas one thing i would put on the video at the end or beginning if u plan to do these flying vlogs is "this video is edited for time and content" Premier one driver and several others got FISDO'ED by idiots on the internet. Claiming they didnt do clearing turns or called clear of a runway cause they ran the audio track before exiting that they were clear and the video showed them just starting to turn off

Your pronouncing it book-ees instead of buck-ees has me thinking of Hyacinth Bucket for some reason. 🤔😄

Putting the ‘scoot’ in Boot Scootin’ Boogie 🤠

Noel, have you considered a Van’s RV? Great series of planes from what I understand.

@Fly With Noel Philips, Do you ever plan of flying back in Europe and the UK when you return there for a trip?

Love the Francis moment 😂😂

Now fly to Wisconsin and check out the world's biggest Kwik trip!!

I was very confused, in Scotland we call a betting shop/ bookmakers a bookies😂 great vid mate

Nice machine .great food

Great video I loved it.

Can't believe you left your scooter and it was still there when you came back, here in Australia it probably would have gone missing in action!

A Brit is a Texan sized pick-up truck LOL

I would love to fly with you once Noel! Maybe ince I finish up CFI 😂

Noel-are you now living in the Houston Area? I just watched your Buc-ees video!

Another great video - need to move to the States and renew my US PPL!!

You are supposed to fly OVER the trees. Buc-ees is greatness!

I’m I the only person who didn’t know Noel could fly a plane ? How cool is this guy.

Excellent stuff Noel! I loved the video! Also what source do you use for your music in your videos and what’s the song title at the beginning of the video! 😁 Always love seeing you fly especially that gorgeous Cessna 182 Skylane! Also FLYING TO BUC-EES does it get any more Texas vibe or cool! 😎 🤩 I love Buc-ee’s especially the bucee beaver 🦫 😂🎉 Also since I visited my first Buc-ee’s ever a few months ago I can agree with that, I mean you know it’s big but you truly have to see one to believe it! 😮 Can’t wait to visit Houston someday and fly with you my friend! Cheers 🥂 Love it great stuff! 🎉✈️

Be careful, Noel. Riding that scooter under those trees will mess up your hair.

take a shot every time Noel says Buc-Ee's

I’ve flown into that one

I just came back from Houston about two months ago, and my last destination was buc'ees I'm not gonna lie I spent about $70 dollars.

Beaver Nuggets!!! 👍🏻

During my first visit to a filling station in the US, I said to the assistant that I couldn't work out how to put petrol in my tank. We had a bit of a communication problem!

I thought you were going to place a bet at the bookies.

So that's why people have private planes? To do the same silly stuff the rest of us do with cars?

It’s sucks that us truck drivers can’t enter bucees

I was at Hooks yesterday & saw N908VA looking a little worse for wear 😞 is it salvageable?!

8:51 (where i left off)

What did you do with the scooter while you were in Bucees? That’s an expensive bit of kit to leave lying around!

Glad no one stole your scooter.

Love Buckees……….

I'm in Texas and just know the closest Buckee's to me is 175 miles for me so I'm quite mad you are eating that and I'm not 😂😂

@Noel we missed the loo review

Hello again, still going through your library and I have to say the music bed is an awful idea. Imagine having that playing when you're trying to listen to ATC while flying an RNAV. It adds nothing and just makes me want to find an alternative... But only after you get to Buc-ee's. You should get a helmet and a surfer-stance if you're going to haul-ass on that scooter. Cheers

Not Bookies Noel, Buckees😊Love ya anyway

so tell me Noel, I know you can't fly the Cirrus at the mo but which do you now prefer? The 182 or the cirrus?

Stumbled across a Buckees by mistake near Daytona Beach to charge up a Tesla. Had no idea what it was, very odd and very American.

It says this plane suffered substantial damage on landing a few days ago. I hope you (or Mr Kingsley) are okay!!!

This video was brought to you by.........

Where is your helmet when riding that thing? You are a Texan already for sure.

Too many of them burgers, you'll soon look like a natural American

Why don't you drive down to the Texas City Buc-ee's so you can tour the refineries and sight of the Texas City explosion? Throw in an illegal game room, a gun shop, a western wear store and Whataburger's for a complete experience.

There’s probably an obvious answer to this, but why does it look like you’re using the wrong seatbelt? In the ceiling it looks like you should use the other one. Is there a reason for how it works? Does it matter?

What happened to the Cirrus?

I’ll help you out since I know you are still working on your Texas accent….Buc-ees is actually pronounced Buck-ees. Book-ees are the guys that take your money at a horse racing track! 🤠

Lol "bookies".... it's "buck-ees"

Worlds biggest gas station is in Iowa

I don’t think it is pronounced bookies. I think it is buckies, buck as in male deer. But you are English so I will cut you some slack. 😊

i really do enjoy these vids , but boy do i miss Sam in these .

😳 Promo SM

Buc-ee's is Ok to see once or to stop for a clean toilet, but the prices aren't great. Leave it to the tourists.

Use a helmet

Oh look a petrol station with 100 pumps. How very 1970s No idea why anyone in 2023 would buy a new pick up over an electric car like a model Y. I just dont get it

lol he says bookies..

Buccees discriminates against truck drivers…..just saying …

Noel, my friend, it's pronounced "buck-ee's." Or is that your accent? By the way, the views of your big tall ass on that scooter was worth the price of admission...LOL!
