As a pilot watching Louis’ vlogs always made me sad you didn’t get more credit for just the sheer amount of planning and stress you’ve gone through, you deserve much more credit you flew a Cessna around the world alone! (minus when you flew with Matt)

Someone get the fine brothers on the phone. I own blueprint animations now. Great video JP

This is the prime example of what aviation is all about: setting forth a goal, managing all the risks, preparing yourself for success, and crossing the finish line overcoming all the obstacles. The story you and Louis told with this trip is phenomenal on so many levels.

As a retired USAF C-130 driver (weather reconnaissance and rescue), I congratulate you on your magnificent accomplishment. Flying C-130s sometimes 14-16 hours (with internal benson tanks), "4" engines turning and burning, no big deal, but you my friend, impressed me with your calm professionalism. Well done. Clear skies and tailwinds.

I love that people can speak their minds here and not have Louis DELETE comments like he does on ALL his other videos. Jp was the real star and it's a shame, I don't think, he got the credit he properly deserved.

during the daily uploads the vids were mostly from louis's viewpoint and i always wanted to see more from your viewpoint and how you were handling the tech aspects of flying. so this vid is really cool. thanks.

After 12 or 13 hours in a small, cramped airplane, and 8 or 9 hours flying in total darkness, to see the lights of the California coast had to be.....fricken awesome👍👍👍

Can’t imagine being over the pacific leaving hawaii and staring at my phone. I get that you get habituated but flight never gets old for me.

I disagree with many of the comments criticizing Louis' role here. He wasn't very helpful with the technical side while flying but if he is not experienced he would do more harm if he didn't choose to stay out of the way like he did. Perhaps he could have been more intentional to ask if he could be of help but perhaps he did off camera. Louis mentioned in his vlogs that he was trying to learn along the way and that he knows the amount of education that goes into flying around the world which is admirable. Also I'm not entirely sure how much Louis did behind the scenes to make this flight possible but I'm sure it was most likely an immense contribution. His main job on the flight seemed to be to document it thoroughly and beautifully, which he did. I think both deserve admiration here (as well as Matt when he joined).

The most courageous part of this was doing it as a single pilot. I did not realize the nature of this venture until I watched one of Louis’ vlog episodes where he said he had no pilot training. I would think that basic VFR training and some mission-specific IFR instruction would have been prudent.

I was a Cessna pilot in So Cal in 1973 I was 21. Still have all my charts logbook etc. I can see not much has changed except the digital displays, for example flight plans are still required. I recalled, you could file a flight plan in the air. My call sign was 23 Quebec (with information Lima, Romeo etc) Many landings included mild to strong cross winds. Had to dip the wings a bit with right rudder. I believe it was called a crab landing Cross country flights for me was San Diego, Bakersfield, LA, Palomar. Crossing the Atlantic and Pacific in a Cessna is at another insane level, but can be done as you shown. Thanks for sharing your video around the world in a Cessna! Great accomplishment!!!

25:00 FTW!!! Can't imagine how cool it was to see the west coast lights after so many hours over water!!! Congrats!!! You're an amazing pilot, and it shows!!!

Awesome flight, awesome video. I’ve been following you guys since the first lift off in the US. Nice to see a different perspective than Louis’ on this. I’ve always admired your commitment, sense of professionalism and dedication to the job. Flying is no joke and your emotions shown during these 3 months are proof of that. Congrats, gentlemen, well done!

Well done JP. Your attention to detail serves you well and keeps you safe. I remember you guys leaving Kern Valley and Louis stating that he thought he could be a pilot himself one day. And you straight out told him no way. I respect your direct and truthful manner. You are an amazing adventurer and pilot Sir. Excellent channel. All the best.

I watched almost all of Louis' vlog because I was so excited about your trip. Seeing the take off procedure from your point of view and Louis' lack of input explains so much of his videos where where you copped some stick from viewers for being stressed and uptight. I have so much respect for what you did and it has definitely inspired me to pursue flying in the future. Love your vlogs JP!!

I absolutely LOVE this pilot (think his name is Jamie). He's young but he's pure old school...all business...knows his stuff...totally keeps his head in the game. This is what USAF pilots call THE RIGHT STUFF. The fact that passenger (Louis) is so relaxed really illustrates his confidence in this rocking young pilot. Great video, great adventure. REAL pilots FLY STRAIGHT ACROSS !! Never mind this Iceland cr*p !!😅

As a fellow pilot, I love seeing the more technical side of things. I feel like you and I relate a lot in the way we fly, and just the way our personalities are.

I appreciate all the technical details. I am in awe of your accomplishment. I enjoyed following you all along the way.

Congratulations JP, this was so inspiring and impressive to watch! I have learned so much about airmanship just from watching you flying that Cessna! And meeting you was the highlight of all! If student pilots can have pilots as idols, I would pick you! thank you JP for this! 🙏🏼

JP, your journey deserves a medal for the planning and execution. I watched all the vlogs from Louis and then found this, which is a must watch. Thank you for sharing.

amazing JP!, great video, very informative and nostalgic of those world flight vlogs! can't wait to see more :)

Outstanding. This is what fellow pilots were yearning for the whole time.

Respect bru! As an old pilot myself flying C210s and King200s all over Africa, I lift my hat for what you've done. A life-changing adventure that your children's children will tell about their grandpa.

Love you bro always inspired by your problem solving skills, and your overall appreciation for life. Been along with you on your journey for so many years now. Love the message to Lindsey at the end!! That’s a real man right there.

That was awesome, I admire you a lot, as a private pilot I have an idea of the stress load you were dealing with and you my friend have some major balls to pull that off!

It was cool watching that JP! I love the way you covered it, we really got "into your head". A little bit of fun history but I believe Oakland was the last US airport that Amelia Earhart left from on her round the world attempt. haha I can say that now! I would not have said that before you left ;) Anyway, I love that field! I look forward to seeing more of these.

Brilliant job JP! Congratulations to you all. I loved watching every minute of the trip. Looking forward to your next adventures.

Congratulations! That was simply amazing. I’ve watched all of Louis’ vlogs, and enjoyed them all. But as a pilot, I especially enjoyed a look behind the scenes. Many thanks!

I'm a total ignoramus when it comes to what piloting a plane is all about. Thanks for this video, it's very informative and even exciting as well as clear. I'm looking forward to all of your new videos, although, of course, I've been a fan of yours for years ever since you first flew around with Louis. THIS was a brilliant video, mate !

Incredible adventure. Congratulations on a successful journey!

loved the series. You have my full admiration JP. Great job.

Congrats PJ (and Louis and Matt) on such a HUGE accomplishment! But mostly, thank you. Thank you for working so hard to document it, and share it with all of use. Videos like yours, and others like Matt, Steveo1Kinevo and Josh Powers are what got me off the ground and into an airplane. So thank you. Fly safe fella, cheers!

Well done fellas! I can't wait to see what led up!

must have been annoying when you're in a real stressful situation and Louis is just sitting on his phone the whole time!! yeh he might have been doing emails for the sponsorship or something but at least recognize when the pilot is tense and needs someone to just talk to about his procedures, just put the phone down for like 10 minutes!

AWESOME video JP...I hope you are super proud of this brilliant achievement! Looking forward to this new aviation series.

well done JP, thanks a lot for your point of view of that journey. keep up!

Man, Louis is really glued to that phone, huh? :D Great video. Let me know if you're even back in Scotland; it'd be fun to fly together!

I've been following your trip with Louis (and Matt also for the Atlantic cross), and I've been waiting for this one,actually left a meeting room to watch it. JP's skills, attitude and spirit are something else...

Wow, I'm so glad I've found these videos. Really inspiring! Well done guys!

Thank you so much for the more aviation based view on that trip. That was something I was very looking forward to!

So amazing I wish I had the money to get my pilots license. It's so nice to know people like you are out there living the dream!

Just what i wanted to see in my subscriptions box

The difference in your anxiety levels from the take-off to the landing is amazing. I can just imagine all the calculations running through your head at take-off. Thanks for the technical video, keep them coming!

Thanks for sharing your experience JP! It was fascinating see your adventure with Louis throughout his vlogs, but is also awesome see all the work that you put on to get you guys into this flight. Such an epic video, I can't wait to see more of your content every monday. Greetings from Venezuela :-)

That was a super interesting POV of the journey to counter point Louis's vlogs. If you have any other content from the trip, out side of the documentary, would love to see

I've just finished watching all 73 clips. Amazing. Did you two get along the whole time? Many personality clashes?. You're an amazingly motivated person. Well done brother. Loved watching the aussie section. Pity you didn't come to Perth. All the best. Always

It’s really cool to hear about the technical side of your Epic flight! Looking forward to seeing more of your new aviation vlogs!

Great video JP! So many of us would love to do what you did, it must be as rewarding as it is challenging. Looking forward to more adventure videos! Greetings from Mexico.

8:43 always cracks me up when people mouth their mics lol

Pilots are some of the most impressive people on this planet. These guys have sound knowledge of engineering, navigation, meteorology, mathematics, thermal dynamics and literally the balls to take a multi-ton hunk a metal 10 thousand feet into the air; all while I struggle to drive inebriated haha jk.

Congrats guys, you have done what many of us wish we could do. What a great adventure.

I followed your adventure through the air around the world. It was an incredible adventure. I was so jealous...Thank you for this life lesson.

So interesting to see how you managed all the flying, especially because Im planning a flight with two friends as well from Germany to Norway, Sweden, etc. Im making a big Video about it as well. Great content mate 👍🏽

Congratulations on taking that awesome adventure and having the confidence to see it through. As a GA student, I am in awe of your achievement from not only the flight, but the commitment and prep you had to do for this mission everyday (including inspections/maintenance/ wx, cg and fuel calculations). This gives me more motivation to complete my certification and continue onto many more. I would have liked to see Louis get more involved in the process of flying a 210 around the world to help you out on the trip. Some training would have relived you of some stress and may have inspired someothers to get more excited about Ga (from his followers). Like I said, I'm a student, but have purchased a Viking Dragonfly MK2 in hopes to take it out and have a good time (obviously after some conventional gear training). If you need another person in the right hand seat, let me know. Congrats again Mitch C Palm Springs, Ca

JP, Finally completed Louie’s Vlog on your trip around the world. Awesome accomplishment! As a student pilot preparing for the check ride, thank you for the technical aspects of your flight planning. Freaking awesome! Congratulations! Fly safe, brother!

Loved it! Using the blueprint was great. Helps to visualize. Keep it up!

KUDOS JP! Although I did appreciate Louis superhuman endeavor with your vlog I always felt it was lacking some bits about the actual flying experience from a pilot's viewpoint I was interested in: after all JP you did make an exceptional experience flying a single engine plane around the world! and now we can finally see those missing bits. Please keep them coming! BTW what about that Alt Hold AP? After Vienna when you did find it wasn't working properly, did you have it ever fixed? Were you able to use it or just forget about it and keep adjusting the Trim? Cheers

29 minutes and 46 seconds ago I gave almost zero f*ck's about the technical side of flying. I must say, i'm now very much intrigued. Very well done JP this was awesome bro!

WOW! This has been amazing. I have been following most of the trip and this video means a lot for a fellow pilot! JP jy is defnitief n inspirasie vir my en dit wys weer watse passie mens vir lugvaart moet he om so n ekspedisie aan te pak! Well done guys!!

Thank you JP! Not to take anything away from Louis' videos, for pilots I thought it was only half the story! You guys are awesome.

"I should've pooped" LMAO! My coffee almost went all over the screen! While I'm not a pilot and don't understand it's still fun to watch after seeing the vlogs. You keep it real and raw where Louie is more PG. LOVE IT!

So good!

JP incredible job! I've piloted 4x5 hour legs in a row without sleeping which was sort of intense too, but was maybe just 1/10th as intense (if even that) as this flight. You got my highest respect! That moment when you finally see lights must have been the biggest relieve you have experienced in your aviation career. I can't wait to meet you at some point because I got so many questions.

A heart felt Thank You! For taking me along on this adventure of you guys! Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! Enjoy Life! Stay safe!

Best notification Like behind the scenes I love this, 😍 wish you the best💞

buddy you are the poster child for navigation.

What a trip man!!!!! Just quick note if you allow me, when you yell clear prop just look around before cranking the engine.

Great video! That´s the information I was missing from Louis' vlog. Thanks a lot JP!

So cool guys!! Well done JP!

I watched Louis’s vlogs and always felt that you deserved more credit for what you were doing. next time lose the passenger as he wasn’t very helpful at all and after watching this vlog I have even more respect for what YOU did!x

Thanks for the video, I was hoping for this sort of thing during the series, glad you got it done!

You are a stud, I am super impressed, you have done a task in which not many pilots have been able to complete or even attempt. Many of your viewers don't have the intuition to even try this sort of feat. Congratulations to you, Flying around the world takes an incredible amount of weight and balance computations as well as chart and flight plan . Oh yea and all the legal paperwork the faa and other countries require. Thank you for the video may you accomplish what ever you dream.

Do vlogs of how you became a pilot? Also, how you found passion in flying?

How MUCH did it COST to fly around the world, a video on the breakdown of it would be dope!!

What an awesome experience Boet! Well done, hope to see a lot more VLOGS!

That was an epic video. I really enjoyed this look on the technical side of planning such a long journey. Congrats on the circumnavigation.

"We flew around the world!" No YOU flew around the world with one passenger.

Excellent post! My dad flew around the world (without stopping ;) in an airplane called the Voyager. Flying around the world is no easy task and I commend you. I love how you have documented your journey! Thrilled to have found you via KZfaq - Happy Landings

Glad you are back. Love watching the adventure.

So sick JP! That Video was great, really excited for the upcoming video! Keep it up man!

I really like watching videos of the world trip in your point of view. Not that Louis' aren't good, but i'm an engineer;)

Instead of a copilot reading or holding the checklist - a naked hippie - I’d never accepted such a behaviour. I got used to flying solo.

Amazing work! Thank you for sharing it JP! 😎

JP, you’re my absolute star. You’re handling the entire situation in a safe and cautiously manner. Chapeau 👍😀🍀🛫🛬

Are you planning to speak at Oshkosh 2018

If you took that phone away from that hippie he’d probably cry.

Great video showing a fascinating insight into the kinds of decisions you reached when embarking on this kind of wonderful adventure - really appreciate the time and care you put into it. Not sure you should promise one aviation related video per week though as it could be tricky keeping up the quality!

You are an awesome human, it is so refreshing to see someone strong enough to remain true to themselves and to say how "it" is. I love your video style, and appreciate your intelligence and especially your candor. I know I am but a breath in the wind but I hope you hear my voice. You are awesome.

Okok, cool and all, but the main question remains, what on earth have you done to your hat?

How much gas?

Awesome JP !!! That was an Epic flight. Can't wait to see upcoming Vids

Watched all episodes twice in the last 2 years. What an epic adventure JP, you must be so proud of your achievement! I admire what you guys did so much. I could not do it myself. I wouldn't stand being sit for 6-8 hours in such a tiny space, without the possibility of walking once in a while to strech my legs and spine. And you still had the energy to edit videos, or to plan the next flight and think about all the details around it. I don't have an airplane and never will, so doing what you did in MSFS 2020 will have to do :) I think I have the whole list of airports right. Doesn't have the Cessna 210 though, and it's a shame I can't install extra fuel tanks. Yesterday I only did a short trip from Oakland to Kern Valley. The journey will begin soon ;)

Louis is a bit daft isn't he...flying over the ocean into California, first sight of land he says "is that the coast?". No mate, you can just magically see Nebraska.

Louis het geen benul van die verantwoordelikheid nie! Ha, seker dit was soms verstrerend!

Wow dude epic video. looking forward for this aviation monday. Awesome work JP !!!!

Great video man! Love seeing young pilots doing big things I’m 19 and currently training for my commercial license.

Which Cessna is this?

did this trip strain your relationship with Louis or are you two stronger for it?

I dont understand all these technical stuff but it’s so interesting to discover the way you saw things during this adventure : so much things involved !

JP I have been waiting for these videos with your aspect of the trip . They complement Louis very well. Will be watching!
