I did my primary training out of Teterboro back in the '90s, flying the Hudson VFR corridor all the time. When you fly it all the time, you start to take it for granted. It's one of the greatest VFR flights you can do.

I cannot thank you enough for this. Am at a challenging point in my life (who isn’t, I guess) and this beautiful series is going to help me navigate. Bless you all.

I use to fly that route 25 years ago when I lived in Brooklyn. I didn't realize how much freedom we had flying in NY at that time. Love your videos.

The production quality never ceases to amaze. I’ve also finally distilled the message in everything Josh is making : Do it now. Don’t wait. Whatever that trip is, whatever adventure you’ve been pondering, GO. Love it. Clear prop.

This almost felt like a movie. It had a little bit of everything... I loved every second of it.

Hey that’s my solo t-shirt at KCPC 😝 small world

"What happens if you throw a banana peel out the window?" ATC gives you number to call, advise when ready to copy.

Some people get emotional during the love scenes in RomComs, for me it was the Hudson River Corridor scenes in this KZfaq from Aviation 101 Films! I haven't flown the "corridor" in over 20 years. I used to fly it regularly in the right seat of my dear friend's Cherokee when I was responsible for the radios so he could concentrate on flying. Of course, I would regularly call out "Cherokee Northbound Abeam the Twin Towers," which is an image I will never forget nor ever see again. Thank you Josh for these wonderful films. As a new member of the CC, I look forward to more content, live hangouts, and learning more about Flying from you.

Thanks Guys! What an awesome flight and view for this Texan.

What I love from Josh's series is not only the cool aviation stuff but also the stories it told along the way. Alaska series was a blast and this one should be a treat!

Josh, I just finished watching your breathtaking coast-to-coast I series yesterday and now you drop this absolute gold sequel...really looking forward to the rest of the trip. I know you won't disappoint. You craft a fantastic story and do a great job of including many of the little details that make me feel like I'm along for the ride. The camera work and editing must be so labor intensive but you produce a beautiful thing that literally changes lives by inspiring us. Keep up the great work.

man. i miss this. i'm an airline guy and not doing much flying this year. your channel keeps the avgas pumping through my veins, thanks man! appreciate the time and dedication!

My Grandpa took his 1968 piper tri-pacer down the Hudson in 1998. So cool. I’m a dispatcher for SWA now and sure miss flying. Can’t wait to get current again when time and money allows. Thanks for this video truly amazing!

It's a Hudson River kind of week! I recently posted a video of my Mooney flying the Skyline Route (just above the VFR Exclusion Zone). Thanks for sharing your perspective.

Made the trip many times between KHEG (Herlong in Jacksonville FL) to Danbury CT (KDXR) in my 1979 M20K N39MG. Great traveling machine. We frequently flew over the top of NYC at 7,500. My co-owner Phillip made the trip home once non-stop burning 55 gallons in 5 hours, departed KHEG at 9am landing KDXR at 2pm. Winds were light. I relocated to JAX in 2002 and we kept the partnership going another 8 years. We sold N39MG to a buyer from Argentina in 2010.

Josh you are one of the few people who know how to tastefully combine aviation with filmography. Keep up the good work!

I learned to fly at KMJX. Used to be known as Robert J Miller Airpark. Brings back many fond memories. The Hudson River VFR Corridor was a favorite sightseeing trip for many passengers. One such trip was Sunday, September 9, 2001. I didn’t know at the time that it would be the last time that I would be able to see the magnificent sight of the Twin Towers.

It’s finally here! Here’s to an amazing series!

From the first opening moments of the Intro, my thoughts were, Wow how Incredibly Cinematic! I have been a long time fan of yours, from nearly the beginning. I have seen your editing skills just continue to grow. You have always been a great story teller. It's wonderful to see how well you capture the moments. You were one of the people who inspired me to start rolling cameras on my flights. As a fellow aviator, and budding creator I know how difficult it is to to manage the flying, capturing and then produce what all these people see. My hat is off to you Sir. Keep up the great work and someday I hope to meet you in person.

Simply stunning, can't wait for the rest of this series.

Another magnificently beautiful piece of cinematography, as always. Thank you for the amazing content! You make people Like me pursue aviation father than a dream.

I can remember, 5 years ago I started watching you after I started getting interested in flying. Now, in a month I’m going to start training for my ppl.

When restrictions ease, and when it's warmer, you should do a coast to coast series in Canada. You'd love it.

@3:17 You know you have skillz as a pilot when you are able to hold down the yoke-mounted PTT switch while also holding a grape in the same hand. Respect, Josh!

Josh, your photography and editing just get better and better. Can’t wait for the rest of the segments of this trip...

Renauldo has become a great pilot since the first time I saw him. Great trip. I am sure you had a wonderful time.

YAYYY! 🤸‍♂️🎉 The beginning of another Josh Flowers "Mini-Series"!! I can hardly wait. This one will definitely be different, I think, since you're taking Renaldo's Mooney instead of 991. (Josh, did you explain to "her" that she isn't being abandoned, only given a little resting time??🛩 )

What I like from your channel besides the aviation component is the documentary looking with a good phography and sound. All perfectly edited to be an epic film. Looking forward to the next episodes.

Absolutely phenomenal! This kind of stuff right here is why I became a pilot. Hudson corridor added to the bucket list when my RV-7A is finished in a couple of months.

Love the flight. I'm a pilot(not current) and had a landing at Toms River...nice runway. I also flew the "corridor" many times...way before all the restrictions and when the WTC was within my visuals. It never gets boring and is always a sight to see. By the way the crow flies, when you were about a half mile from the GW and if you hung a 90º to the west, you'd be enroute to Teterboro and fly right over my house. Next time I see a Mooney, I'll wave. Safe flying.

Boy this brings back memories. Already over a year ago my friend from Germany and I, (age 19 and 17), flew a C172L to NYC, Boston, New Hampshire, across to the finger lakes, and down back to Ohio via lake Erie. So much fun. Now watching this and you guys doing it with IFR rules, I can't wait till this spring when I'll start my IFR training at Kent State University and make another trip with Luca this next summer. Thanks for the great content as always!

The whole banana, basketball, curveball conversation made this video. The video is already excellent but that just puts a smile on your face laughing along with ye. Great videos as always Josh.

To think you essentially flew right over my head filming and I had no idea! I hope that I randomly looked up one day and caught a glimpse of you guys, this video was beyond amazing! This is truly a special video to me thank you Josh.

Thoughts on motion sickness. Closing eyes and moving your head off axis is not helpful. Motion sickness is the result of visual and inner ear not matching up. Keeping eyes on the horizon and head aligned with the plane (and close to the CoG if possible) will reduce those discrepancies.

Greetings from NH! Enjoy the many sights that New England has to offer.

Wow, Josh! This is going to be an awesome series! What incredible footage!

I am here in Westchester, ready to get back to my IFR training. One wish I have is to take family and friends to NYC scenic trip. You have the perfect video to get anyone excited to go. This is what flying is all about. That view, that experience.... WOW! I just saved this video as one of my favorites. Also, I am so jealous that you are flying around the country! I want to go too!!!!! Can't wait for the next videos. Thank you so much for sharing.

Josh! I was at work when I started this video and after the first 30 seconds decided I needed to wait till I got home to watch it on the big screen in the living room. Glad I did! What an AMAZING start to this series I can't wait for the rest!

This beautiful series is yet another thing still worth living for in these fucked up times, looking forward to every episode.

Love the mood that’s made at the beginning of a new mini series

I love following these cross country stories. You set the bar with your Alaska series with Chris, so I am anxious to see if you have a stand out moment like “cleeeeear” !!!😂🤣😂 I also hang on to any information that would be helpful for my own cross country trips in the future. Thank you for putting out the quality videos you are known for and taking us along on your journeys! Safe travels sir!

It's amazing where personal aviation can take you. So many things you may have never seen or experienced without it! People dont know what they are missing, that is for sure! God bless!

Outstanding. The music was perfect for this type flight. Enjoyed it all.

Columbus County is close to home. I live just north about 50 miles @ KJNX. Come by sometime. Absolutely beautiful flight, can't wait for the next adventure . Thank you Josh!!!

Love it! I'm doing my ground school now (Cessna KingSchools) and every time I loose a little bit of momentum, it's videos like this that keep me moving forward to get my PPL. Great flying guys. Thanks for sharing

Yep the series is finally here. Thank you. Amazing videos

Amazing! I can't wait to see the rest of this series. You're an inspiration!

In physics, there's no such thing as "deceleration". The term "deceleration" was invented by English majors to describe a concept they didn't fully understand. There is only acceleration in different directions. At t=0 when the banana peel is initially released (assuming that you don't throw it, just let it go), it won't be moving relative to the airplane. The wind component is negligible in the vertical direction, so we can just assume that the peel would accelerate downward at 9.8 m/s/s. Now, the distance between the window opening and the wing looks to be about half a meter or so. This gives us a fall time of about 0.14 seconds before the peel reaches the level of the wings. The Mooney has a chord length of about 1.5m. The window looks pretty close to even with the leading edge of the wing, which means the peel would need to accelerate rearward at a minimum of 153 m/s/s, or at about 15.6g, in order to clear the trailing edge. According to various sources, the mass of a typical banana peel is between 30 and 60 grams, so I'm going to use 45 grams as the average. This means that the wind would need to exert a minimum of 7N on the banana peel to accelerate it enough to miss the wing. Now, unfortunately, this is the part where Google starts to fail me. Can you believe that I couldn't find even *one* source for the drag coefficient of a banana peel? And, unfortunately, I have neither a banana peel to test experimentally, nor a wind tunnel to do the test in. However, I can say that 7N is a pretty small amount of force. It's about the weight a first-generation iPad Pro. I can say with some certainty that 74 m/s (144 kts, the cruising speed of a Mooney) of wind would produce more force than that, and so, the banana peel would definitely miss the wing.

Like the Alaska series, if you’re watching these on your phone or iPad, you’re doing it wrong! These deserve the biggest HD screen in your house! Great work Josh 🙌🏽

LOVE these adventure videos Josh. Look forward to part 2.

What a beautiful footage! Can't wait to see the rest!

Nice flight! Thanks for sharing.

Wow what an epic video. Loved flying down the Hudson and the sunset was perfect! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I loved this video, I've halted my Private Pilot journey due to COVID and your channel has helped me keep my interest in flying and not give up. Thank you so much for providing these fantastic videos to inspire many future aviators!

So glad you two are doing another cross country series. Your previous one was some of the best aviation content I’ve ever seen. Also, being in NJ, not too far from Tom’s River, you flew right over me!

A minute 39 in, and OMG what an intro!! Josh you are one of the best KZfaqrs out there and you keep proving it over and over again with each video! Your truly amazing and hope you had a great time! Thanks for sharing!!

Just awesome Josh and crew. Just awesome !

Wooh I’ve been excited for this series since you posted it on Instagram! Thanks josh

Can't wait to see more of the adventure!

CPC! Best fuel prices on the eastern seaboard. Great video! You were in my neck of the woods for this one. The flight up the Hudson River is one that I do all the time, as the cirrus I fly is based at LDJ. It never gets old! Next time you get a chance to fly the Hudson, ask atc for the “skyline route.” Yes, you’ll be flying a little higher, at 1500’ but it keeps you away from most of the helicopter and fixed wing traffic in the corridor and you’ll be talking to EWR and LGA tower who are really good about calling out other traffic for you...makes for a more relaxing experience and the view is just as good! When you’re next in the NYC area, fly the Hudson River corridor at night; NYC is lit up like a gem!

Epic filmmaking and story-telling. Thank you. Loved the music on this one a lot.

Here we go again!!! LOVE IT!!

So happy to see you were able to enjoy the Oregon Coast.. one of my favorite places!! also the many snowy mountains are delightful from the air or with boots on the ground. Good to see ya out there enjoying life!!

Fantastic. Looking forward to the rest.

Nice video. Love the Mooney! Looking forward to part two.

Some amazing scenery beautifully captured. Can’t wait for more. Great to see more Content Josh. Love the Chanel

Awesome video; excited for this series!!

Awesome film as always. I am super excited for this series. The first coast to coast is one of my favorites.

The Red Inn for the win! Josh this is awesome seeing you fly in my backyard! I agree, flying the Manhatten corridor with the buildings taller than you is very surreal, but something that has to be experienced by everyone at least once in their life. I'm looking forward to your next episode with Mount Washington. I was just there a few weeks ago and drove to the top. It happened to be the same day they received their first snowfall, and halfway through our descent, they shut the road down and stop all accending traffic for the day.

Awesome Josh, look forward to the next in the series.

Yess! Love these vids! Inspiring to get out of the normal grind of local flying and explore the options of our privileges.

I am so excited about you guys doing this trip. this one was really great thanks and be safe, God speed

Amazing! Very well filmed, and put together. Looking forward to watching the rest of this series. Well done.

Thanks Josh. Beautiful video. Will be watching. Music choices are excellent. You know your stuff in the air and on the editor.

Love these videos. Keep them coming.

Wholesome viodes, amazing journey!

Cool another long distance flight series. Love these. Especially after being fortunate enough to have seen nd been ground level at alot of the places you show from the air. Stay safe and enjoy

In a word WOW! What an awesome concept and absolutely perfect execution.... You guys rock for sure... I can't WAIT to see the next video.... That trip up the Hudson was astounding although to tell you the truth, CitationMax did the same in a Cirrus. Both down and back with two loops around 'The Lady'... Still, yous was cool since you started outside of the Verazzano Bridge. Killer shots all in all... Just beautiful... Again, can't wait for the rest of this series.... Well done guys...

Great video Josh! Can’t wait for the rest of this adventure!

So cool! One more trip to add to my bucket list. Especially the Hudson corridor. 🛩

Totally amazing, thank you for making the series.

Wow what a beautiful trip! Super happy to see that was a part 1. I live in Oregon and saw some shots in preview. We r blessed thanks for sharing!

Just an Awesome series! Part-I was amazing and I can;t wait for the rest!! THANK YOU for posting your routes as well, please continue to show your routes. I love to recreate these in XPlane to see what scenery I can find!

Absolutely amazing video as always!

WOW so cool to see you flying through NY past the Status of Liberty.

Awesome views!! Can’t wait to see the next episode!!

My favorite 101 vid yet!! Live in Dallas and visit the Hudson Valley about once a month but always commercial. The Hudson Corridor has been a desire for quite awhile!! It just moved up the list!! I'll be back up there this weekend, so checking out the possibilities. Maybe I'll reach out to Max! Thank you Josh!!

Great video, great cinematography as usual Josh. Thanks!

Good one. You always inspire and show what is possible. NY is on my list.

Regarding the question about throwing the banana out of the Windwow... As a sail plane pilot we do that often with our "peeing bags" (of course not closed so it will empty itself midair instead of acting like a water bomb). So I can totally confirm your answer, Josh ^^ But be aware that it might hit and stick to the horizontal stab😅

That is some fun east coast flying. Mountains, rivers, sandbars, and beaches be darned. I'm flying out to new york to do this!

one more amazing adventure to fallow .that's going to be awesome Josh, thanks for sharing

Love this! Live in the area so seeing it from above was beautiful...

Great job! Love this! A+ jaw dropping video quality! Greetings from the western Maine mountains!

Can't wait to see the rest of this trip!

I LOVE THIS! Like a road trip x1000!

Can’t wait for this series! Great work as always.

Flew the Hudson south in the mid-90s out of MMU. Was at night and passing the WTC was incredible. Thanks for sharing!

I park my new plane next to a movie star (Arnaldo) here at Kissimmee, I am not worthy!!! lol If you keep coming down here to fly with him perhaps I'll run into you at that hangar. Keep having fun and doing these trips, once you get married and have kids that all seems to be taken away little by little. Love it!

Fantastic production Josh...encouraging me to venture out of my home airspace and see the wonderful sights.
