A little break from the gaming content to share with you my passion for general aviation. I'd love to do more of this so hopefully you dig it!

Brings back memories. I landed countless times on that very runway (36L/18R) 30+ years ago when it was Bergstrom AFB. Shot my very first ILS to minimums on 18R on that runway. No auto/no glass cockpit (instrumentation). Great memories.

I really love DA42 content, thanks for showing us the checklist and runup procedures. As a student pilot learning how to deal with ATC I also really enjoy hearing your conversations with ATC, it helps me a lot in my learning process to see how other people do it.

whatever you decide to put in your videos is what makes the videos unique to you. your personality is what makes it unique. those of us who are airplane nerds appreciate whatever you're willing to show. you could even show an unedited video from start to finish and some of us would watch it.

I appreciate the share. Looking to pick up info on the DA-42 for my simming. I was a bit surprised, but happy to see your face. My daughter and I saw you at the Satellite years ago when the Peach Kings were playing. Hope you are well and appreciate the flying vids. Cheers.

Nice DA42...cool paint scheme. The leather seats impressed me...the best interior I've seen in a diamond. Nice job with the video and enjoyed the additional context you provided regarding the trip (i.e., from coffee the morning before departure, your lady friend's fun questions, and concluding with some clips of the wedding). You both seemed super happy to be on a trip in your private aircraft. That's why I enjoy flying...my wife and I going on weekend trips to fun and interesting destinations. It's like a time machine that maximizes our good times/memories together. Much better than just including the technical pilot stuff...although as a PA28R owner I enjoy that too. Suggestions for future might include: always discuss cruise TAS, GS, ALT, with GPH info; you seemed to take off VFR but landed IFR maybe something to say there; how long was the trip vs. driving or flying commercial. I haven't watched your other videos yet, but interested to hear how you came to own a DA42 vs. the typical SR22. Nice choice by the way! Look forward to your future videos.

I betcha he chose DA42 because... - Second engine redundancy - FADEC controlled engines greatly reduce pilot workload - Jet A1 is a lot cheaper than AVGAS Let us know, Mr. Middleditch!

Very cool, man! Thanks for taking us along! I would love to see more aviation stuff like this(Just realized this came out in October, hopefully you've done more!) Was super cool seeing you go through the checklists and stuff. I recently started flying in MFS2020, and have been learning to fly the Diamond DA62 which has an almost identical setup to the 42 you're flying. I just flew my very first successful custom flight from Cincinnati to Chicago last night, so seeing you go through all the same checklists and knowing the different buttons you're pushing and all that was really cool! Love seeing all the cool shit you're into man. The Aviation, Red Dead, it's all great! Now I think I'll go fly the LA>Tucson>Austin flight in the sim :) Thanks for the inspiration!

Hello Mr. Middleditch! I'm ATP rated and work for a corporate operator here in the states. I just want to say, I have always had the perspective that people in Hollywood have no idea how to fly airplanes (Ford pretending to fly a C680, Travolta, e.t.c), but after watching this video you have convinced me that this is not true! You have a great amount of airmanship and really seem to know the airplane you are flying even just at the PPL level. I would not have doubted it if you said you were commercially rated. Great callouts, flying, your replacement for GUMPS check (lol) and I really enjoyed the video, seeing an actor I liked in Silicon Valley sharing a passion I have had my entire life! Fly safe and tailwinds!
