Don't get me wrong, I love all the videos, but these long "nerdy" immersion videos are the real reason I've always watched this channel, and they're always appreciated.

These types of videos help understand my IFR training better than any book or lecture...pure gold.

Thank you for your video. I stopped flying private pilot a few years ago. Divorced & broke. Now have the $$ to restart. Videos like yours kept the spark alive. For me, the urge to fly never left. I find myself always checking out the sky, especially the warthogs arriving & departing Nellis AFB here in Vegas. Fly safe.

You're absolutely right about the immersive aspect Josh. I really like your style of aviation video production. Just the right amount of technical, educational and cinematic content that makes them so enjoyable. Thanks as always.

"Just for the sake of not going slower than a dude on a bicycle..." love it.

Hello, Mr Aviation 101. My name is David Kwon lives in S.Korea. I started watching your video about a 8 month ago, and I accidently(?) found a video where 11yo kid flying with you. The word you used "ignition" came right down at my heart. Because I always dreamed of becoming a pilot but few things blocked me. But by watching your videos, i found a confidence and now I am studying in pilot programme in ULZIN in S.Korea. I always watching your video everyday, and whenever I am watching your video, I always think that I made right choice to become a pilot. Once again, thank you so much and I just want you to know that you have a fan in S. Korea. Thank you

It has been many years since I flew, but thanks to your videos I can get airborne again even if it is vicariously. Thanx, buddy.

I’ve never heard PTAC before, but that’s really helpful. That long clearance gets me every time.

There isn't an episode that goes by that I don't learn something from you. I'm working on my instrument rating so these flights are always a huge help. Thank you!

I like the commentary of each video. It is something I need to work on as far as reading checklists, procedures etc. It’s something you do very well

This was a very enjoyable, relaxing video. For those of pilots who can't fly anymore due to one reason or another, vides like this become our TV. You, FlightChops, Steveo1kinevo, Premier 1 Driver are my favorite Channels.

In my opinion . . . one of your best, Josh! Love your detailed descriptions of what is happening in each segment of the IFR flight with the graphics and instrumentation shots. Mix that with your mastery of video production and it is not hard for others to catch the aviation bug that you have obviously been infected with.

So I'm about to start my pilot training this fall, and it is at least 40% your fault. ;)

I like a lot of IFR content. The technical stuff. I like it a lot.

Baron pilot T-shirt :) nice one Josh, astonishing sunrise views!

I am surprised that you are not at a million subscribers. You, The Straight Pipes and Emelia Hartford are my favorite KZfaqrs. Hopefully I'll earn a private pilot certificate next year. Your technical explanations and communication with ATC is very helpful.

Love these kind of videos with the approaches explained and longer flights. Great job once again, Josh.

This dude said “gear is down” and looked out the window😂😂 made me laugh lol

I'm at the start of my IFR training, and this was just what I needed today. Wonderful to see it come together, and your verbal walk through was perfect. Many thanks!!

Loved the video. Glad you didn't make it shorter. Made me feel like I was right there riding along with you.

Aviation101--good one. Thanks for the Skyhawk ride (I always like calling them Skyhawks rather than 172s). You are right--beauty on a nice morning. That ubiquitous Cessna caramel brown/cream interior and out-the-windshield view brings back lots of memories of flying with my dad.

This is my absolute favorite aviation channel. The film work and audio are outstanding. Puts most other aviation channels to shame. Thanks.

Amen on the long , technical, nerdy videos. Best of all. I like deadheading with you on the joy rides also but the technical talk is the best. Learn more via those entries.

Your right Josh, I enjoy immersing myself as if I'm there flying right along with you. Great video as always and appreciate the time spent explaining the complexity of flying and the procedures you need to follow. My wife enjoys the sound of your voice so doesn't mind me watching these videos constantly. Looking forward to your next video!!

Coffee is always required in the morning. Words of wisdom sir :)

Enjoyed the IFR flight, pretty much same weather conditions I had last Wednesday bringing our 172 to get a Garmin GTX 335 ADS-B, can't wait to file IFR back. Even us old farts love your video's.

Just picked up flying thanks to this chanel. Signed me up at a local flight school here in Sweden. Had my first ever test flight today. And it was amazeing. Wish I had done this earlyer in my life. Class starst in december :P

Very cool video. Just the right mix of nerdy and cool. I love skimming that cloud layer.

Beautiful morning flight very enjoyable.

Thanks Josh, nice video. Just received my initial CFI June 9th. I referenced your videos several times in my journey from Private to CFI the last few years..

So I've watched many of your more recent posts and decided to go back into your past library. I have to say, for any pilot, let alone a younger one, you get the most out of a very common 172 aircraft as it pertains to every flight details along with some light humor, coffee is a must for morning flights! Stay as detailed as possible so PPs like myself can still have the chance to pick up on something new as well as forgotten. Thanks, Josh!

Josh no apologies needed, having the extra information and dialog about the procedures is great. Especially with the spatial disorientation skimming the tops of the clouds, even without the clouds on hazy days and over water disorientation becomes an issue.

These are getting better and better!

Very enjoyable and quite entertaining video, Josh. I love how you explain the things you are doing or what to expect when doing certain things because that brings flying closer to the people and it shows, that it is more than "just" flying an airplane.

Thanks for this video Josh! I’m grounded right now but your channel and videos like this keep me excited for wanting to get back up. This one makes me excited to want to go after my IFR cert too. Thanks and keep them coming!

Absolutely awesome video. I love IFR flying! I also enjoy the technical aspects of your presentations. Keep up the excellent work! Fly safe and fly often!

Another awesome video Josh! I like the narrative at the end.

Just noticed the Flying Cowboys hat. NICE! those guys are great.

As a scientist and a student pilot loved the Carl Sagan at the start!

I WAS immersed. Loved all the ATC and the continuous references to the technical stuff. Beautiful sunrise flight, cameras and editing. More like this please! Same thing with some weather would be cool. Rain, even snow, and how you handle it.

Oh yes! I really enjoyed the immersion that you offer when flying like this one. You can really feel the motions specially in and above the clouds like this last one. My thumbs up to you.

Great job. Love the detail and your commentary at the end. Your great attitude in all situations makes your video a pleasure to fly with you. Thanks again. Good Job!

Always fun departing Livermore for a night proficiency flight and get clearance from tower only to come back with the airport completely dark save for the beacon and no one responding because tower's closed. Thank goodness for pilot controlled lighting! :D

Definitely agree on the coffee statement. Also, I feel better knowing I am not the only one that talks while I am alone in the cockpit. :-)

Great video Josh. I really enjoy all of your videos but I especially like the technical aspects of this type of video. Thank you for the channel as a whole!

Really appreciate your work. Thank you.

Love the flight! Thanks for taking us along! Safe flying!

I love your videos. The narrative with the video makes me feel like I am with you in the cockpit.

Thank you for the detail of an IFR approach. It helps this VFR pilot understand how an approach works, at least an approach of this type. You communicate clearly and your expertise shows up with each video I watch. Again, thank you!

Love all your vids...........this one just a little more keep them coming and beautiful morning flight to enjoy! Fly the dream

Josh, yet again this is a great video. Done so well, and you are very articulate. Thank you again.

Absolutely loved it! Thanks.

Love these kinds of videos. Thanks!

What a great video. Thank you so much for the vocal checklist. This is a great watch before an IFR trip.

I love this kind of video because it helps me greatly as I work towards my instrument rating. Love the channel Josh and I have learned a great deal about flying and becoming a safer pilot by watching your videos. Keep them coming!

Beautiful morning flight. Love your videos. Thanks

Josh your videos are wonderful informative and entertaining. Thank you for the hard work that you put into making these and putting them online!

I too, like the immersion vids. I find the nuts and bolts stuff fascinating. Thanks for the great job, Josh!

Thank you Mr. aviation for making these videos i learn something new every day keep it up I just learn something new watching your videos on a Jeppesson instrument approach plate so just keep up the good work and I can’t wait for your next video come out

These videos are some of the best I have seen, I love the immersive aspect and how everything is explained. Working up the money to start my training and I would have to say these videos only make me want it that much more!

Really enjoyed this video. Working on my instrument currently and listening to how you do your approach brief was very helpful. Thanks!

I love this video.. Thank you for showing me how it's done. I learned a ton of IFR tips on this video... so good!!! I love the explanations of everything

Another great video Josh! Thanks for keeping in the whole IFR procedure/approach for us interested in getting our instrument rating

I've just started my PPL journey in the UK. Your video gave me goosebumps, and is everything I am looking for from aviation. I hope this message finds you safe and well, and continuing to enjoy your flying. All the best.

They just keep getting better and better!!

A fantastic video! I like these longer video's with more of the procedural stuff, plate clarification, reasoning out the likely approach issues etc. Loved it!

I must agree with declaring emergency if the coffee would spill. 😂

What a great morning to fly! Love this style of video.

Great video Josh! Nothing like coming down through the clouds on a beautiful morning. Thanks for the ride a long!

i love these kind of videos i wnt to see more of these i love how you show the true aspects of flying from the takeoffs to the aproaches and everything in between im half way through my commercial pilots training just keep these videos going i really enjoy watching them

These are my favorite type of videos! Keep up the awesome work!

Love the videos! Been watching for nigh on 2 years now since about the time I started working on my PPL (Almost done getting my instrument rating). Keep up the good work!

Really liked what you said at the end of this video. It is exactly why I watch them. I am going through my instrument training, and it’s videos like this that are really helpful. Love to hear all the communications with ATC and Departure/Approach, what steps to take for staying ahead, and briefing the approach. Thank you for your style of sharing aviation with us.

Love it. Damn good job, wonderful narration. Beautiful flight, thanks for ride.

Ur an inspiration to many who come across ur channel. Enjoy ur technical aspect of flying and viewing all the details that go into ur work! Hopefully someday I'll get to meet ya and say hello! Keep up the awesome vids!

I am back and rewatching this video again (going thru my Instrument training) and have learned so much from your posts. Thank you!

I like this one! I passed my IFR ride JUST before I deployed... Looking forward to getting back in the saddle and breaking through that San Diego marine layer when I get back! These vids help me keep my head in the game while I'm gone... And see another instructors perspective and habits, some of which I will incorporate. Thanks!

Great Video Josh, really was immersed in this one, felt like I was onboard the flight. Looking forward to more like these👍🏽 keep inspiring bro

Josh. I like your IFR videos a lot. Even though it's hard for me to stay current and proficient at IFR do to $$ and family commitments it's still nice to be educated through your IFR videos to at least sort of "be" in the cockpit with a frequent IFR pilot.

When the aircraft is beautifully trimmed, it feels like autopilot. :)

I love this video. Great job

Another good immersive video. I always enjoy seeing how the runway eventually just presents itself in front of you on an IFR flight.

Yeah man, I have my kneepad here taking notes along with you. Keep'n going for this! Precious content!

Gorgeous video Josh. A wonderful vlog to wake up to.

Definitely my fav type of video Josh!

IFR is so cool, thanks for this one. Cool to see on a six-pack with no autopilot, and the landing brief was a great overview of reading the plate.

Great video Josh. Love the technical side of the flight.

Love the raw educational stuff josh. Best regards

Love these type of flight videos

Loved this video - I'm a couple of lessons into PPL navigation in the UK and have PPL-level RNAV to do so appreciate some practical use of the nav instruments in the 172!

Another good one. Mastering single pilot IFR like a pro!

Another great flight.

Thank you I really enjoy your videos

Always enjoy your videos for its content, videography & professional approach to both your joy & discipline in flying. Also, I commend you for your networking savvy. You can never have enough business friends - keep wearing everyone’s marketing attire - it continues to demonstrate your professionalism.

As someone just starting instrument training, I like these immersive videos. Let's me see how others approach the system and fly. Thanks!

I love the longer videos Josh. I definitely learn a lot more with these ones.

I liked it...great job flying us through your check list and thoughts. Cheers

Good job Josh, thanks for the lesson!

Thanks for the great videos

I loved that ,this will help me a lot with the IFR rating ,thank u 👌🏾❤️
