“ lemme turn on the air conditioning *opens window* 😂 9:11

8:34: "...and the airplane's all trimmed out, see that?" Next second: turns the trim wheel :-)

Another great video. That was hilarious getting the Baton Rouge ATIS for your freq change.

Q: Why do only some airfields have a tree swing? A: Some airfields don't have trees. Alternatively, there is a pin ball machine in the pilot rest room.😎

Back in the sixties I used to vacation at my friends home on Merritt Island. I visited the space center. One day I was walking on the beach along the Banana River and saw a really bright , very intense area in the sky. It looked like a small sun. I asked my friend what it was Even in bright sunlight the flame from a rocket is unbelievably intense and he said we were looking at an unmanned launch of a satellite. I'm 78 and have followed our space program practically from the beginning and seeing an American ship and American Astronauts back in space from U.S. soil Again, is wonderful. Cheers, Rik Spector

Can’t wait until I get my ppl

"Anytime I'm pilot in command I'll have a ripping headwind". LOL Seems like I always have a headwind in every direction. Got lucky last month and had a 50 knot tailwind for a while @ 16,500.

I remember watching your videos at the beginning of last year, started my PPL last Summer and am about to start my IFR next week after the covid break. Now I have sold one of my cars and am looking to buy my own airplane for some fun cross country trips!! You really have shown the world how amazing it really is up there. I am based in Kissimmee, FL right down the road from Apopka and can tell you I have landed there before and the winds coming off of that lake are wild! Thanks again, maybe you can do some transition training in the near future:)

10:26 that “Cleared through the Bravo” is more important now than ever 😂

Josh, have been watching your videos for some time. You have always done a very nice job but your videos are now even more entertaining and informative. Great job on this as usual!

Josh, thanks for the detailed description of your flying experiences. You always do an excellent job. I'm glad you got to see the launch. I've had the joy of watching two launches when we visited Melbourne, FL on vacation from Ontario, Canada.

So cool! You continue to amaze me with your filmmaking skills.

Welcome to my hometown...glad you had a chance to witness history along side us!

I have never experienced so many goosebump moments as i did in this video, between the views and spacex comms! Great video!

Can’t wait to see you at the aviation content creators awards!

Epic! Thanks Josh.

ahhhhh it is good to be Josh, i watched the last minute and hit pause, holy cow,

I saw the shuttle back in 1997 and it was such a loud punch of sound! This is a fantastic video!

Was watching the launch live. Got goosebumps then and just now watching again. Go Dragon Endeavour! I hope to finish my private and fly from Houston down to the Space Coast to watch many more launches. Thanks for sharing. 🛫🛬🚀

Josh, it was obvious to me the time and effort you put into this post. You present a tremendous amount of information that is helpful to this low-time private pilot. Thank you sooo much!!!

I’ve been waiting for new content. Keep it coming! This is awesome

You're best video yet, really enjoyed it. Thanks!

Can’t wait to see that mountain flying!

Watching those launch clips again gave me goosebumps. Fantastic video as always. It was interesting to hear your own criticism of the gusty crosswind landing while you were taxying - both points you mentioned are things that I picked up on so it's good to know my training is still super fresh (even though I qualified nearly two years ago) and that despite all your experience so far, you will still pick holes in your own performance. Keep up the great videos - each one contains a golden nugget (I got most of my ATC notes shorthand from one of your videos). Looking forward to seeing more from your 3 week stay in the East!

Another awesome video from you Josh.Stay safe

Really nice video - great stuff!!

Thanks amigo. I was there in Titusville with you. What an exciting time!

I love the edit and the energy on this video keep up the great work.

Setting the standard again! Great video. Keep them coming and promoting GA!

I love the enthusiasm for aviation in this video

My favourite contact was some RAF typhoons. I thought “should I alter course to avoid?” Then before I did anything they shot up to much higher than my airplane service ceiling.

You should leave Foreflight up more often. as a new pilot, it is helpful to see that while you are flying. Love your stuff!

Hello Josh, as usual i admire your professional attitude behind and alway looking foward to meet you in the future. I have learn a lot from you as i am still persuing my training at executive. Great video , very educational

Cool.. just cool... fly safe and fly often!

Any time I'm pilot in command of an aircraft we will have a ripping headwind" truer words have never been spoken. Except "sun directly in my face." What a wonderful video Josh. Really enjoy your content. Your professionalism in the cockpit is unmatched on KZfaq aviation videos. Fantastic instruction as you fly along. So hope young pilots take notice of how you do it. It's all about safely getting there, not just getting there.

I noticed that George just sat there in the right seat and didn't life a finger to aid in Nav, Comm, or control. MAN! That little dude just takes up space! Great video Josh, as always.

Thanks Josh

Man those clouds early in the morning were killer 😍

great video thanks for sharing

excellent video. thanks

I was able to see two launches from 35,000 at the cape while working as an F/A for Eastern Airlines from 1976 to 1989, our captain timed it just right and we did a 360 on one launch just to burn up some time to coincide with 1 of the launches. When you see that shuttle at 35,000 feet it is going like a bat out of hell, you really get a sense of how fast that thing is moving, all but one of the passengers loved it, there's one in every crowd. 😎 Thanks for sharing the video.

Fun trip. Great editing job!

Loved the video. Wish I could have seen that flight in person . Did watch it live in TV.

Thanks for creating these vids i took my first GA flight today in Whanganui, New Zealand you inspired me to do that so thanks.

good flying, great commenting to the camera...amazing editing you keep getting better at it

Love those nice steep final approaches. It kills me when I see people coming in low.

Cool video , thank you.

While approaching Apopka, you flew directly over my house midway between Ocala airport and Leesburg airport. Leesburg is where I do my flight training in a Cessna 172 sp. My wife and I also watched the launch. Yes, a new era !

Love the aviation 101 channel. You do an outstanding job on the flying, videos, and misc, related to aviation. I am a 58 year old person who's malfortune in life prevented me from flying. Your VLOGS give me Excellent Entertainment and Joy. I am subscribed to your Channel. Thank You. GOD bless you and Your Family.

Awesome to hear direct college station. Just passed my ppl check ride after finishing up my hours at Easterwood field and it is literally a dream come true. Thanks for keeping the dream alive back before i had started training and thanks for making this great content. PS im jealous of those flaps. The S models i fly only get 30 degrees

Thanks for the great video and info👨‍✈️🙏

ForeFlight is a must have for flying.

This video has it all, even a cliff hanger! "Carb ice!" Thanks for the inspiration. You have inspired me to go back to get my PPL...I just need to have the "discussions" with my wife. She feels flying is unsafe becasue of what happened with Kobe.

It’s pretty cool you got to fly to see the launch

Josh, A rocket launch is definitely a bucket list item for me, I never seen one either. The closest thing for me was seeing a space shuttle land at Lackland AFB in San Antonio being ferried back to Cape Canaveral atop a 747, that was definitely an impressive sight to say the least. Great video thanks fro sharing!

Great video! Love the long haul cross country flights with all the details etc..... For a second I thought you had an auto pilot with your feet off the rudders. You sure trim it out nicely.

Every time after I watch one of your videos I have to fire up X Plane and fly your plane. Such a pretty paint job. Beautiful video!

great Video again👍👨‍✈️

Awesome flight. You go on very nice trips. I haven't seen a launch of any kind but I did see (and photograph) Columbia arriving at Barksdale AFB on the back of a 747. I took my kids out of school so they could see it :)

Cool that you saw the Space X!

Great Vid!

"Any time I'm pilot in command of an aircraft we will have a ripping headwind" truer words have never been spoken.

Thank you for uploading. I got the opportunity to witness a rocket launch in 2018. Amazing experience. I shared a pretty fun video of the trip to my page.

Gorgeous views! Nice long flight. Awesome launch! You know you tried that swing. Be honest. LOL!!!

love the ForeFlight integration. Something no other youtuber does ATM.

Perry-Foley is a WWII base. My dad was stationed the during the war. He met my mom at a USO dance. I went there for my CC solo flight. Ward the Airport Manager is a great guy.

Great video as usual, but especially with the Space X launch!!!

I love this videos. These are the reason I want to fly

your a legend

Love the copilot!

I loved this video

I got your lunch, If you ever stop at New Orleans Lakefront (KNEW). I love seeing you pass through my neighborhood.

At 12:30 why did you make the decision to fly under the cloud deck and not stay visual above it? I'm a low time private pilot, just wondering so I can apply your logic/expertise to my own XC plannings. Thanks for the great videos!

Before I got rid of the book of face I saw your plan to head up KSSI. I hope that was able to work out for family around there and it’s a bucket list flight to me

Love your videos! Thanks for all the info you share. Love you're flying buddy! He kinda resembles the blow up co-pilot doll on the Airplane movie. 😄😄

Love your videos. One thing I'm noticing that's different from my training here in South Aust, is the use of checklists. For some reason my school just wants to use memory checks. What do you think the pro's and con's are of using checklists or not? Personally, I think I'd like to use them more.

Nice

Awesome video

Hahaha! Baton Rouge is my hometown airport. Classic move to hand you over to the ATIS. Safe flying!

Great video, I think I saw haulover inlet you flew over. There are a lot of videos of haulover inlet.

Love the co pilot

I like your videos alot👍

I had to do all my landings (normal/short/soft field) at Apopka just a few months ago for my Private Pilot check ride, I know all about those winds

Was cool flying from hooks to Lago Vista yesterday afternoon heard you on Austin approach, was busy but was going to say hi... Trinidad 2812Y

I liked the in-flight beverage services.

Sir! Your co-pilot cracked me up!

I love the way you refer to yourself in the plural (we and us). Of course you have your emergency autopilot!

Love your co-pilot lol. Airplane!

22:05 The feeling when you watch history is creating in front of you.

I still remember watching Apollo 13 takeoff from the air in a Cherokee just like it was yesterday. That memory will stay with you forever.

Gorgeous! 1:51

Good job.....

I swear its a contest to see who can talk the fastest (-: tower of PIC

That rope ain't got no Tegridy. Great vid, thanks!

Dude. These are awesome videos. What layer settings do you have on your ForeFlight charts?

A cool topic for the future, and would be enlightening is if you could get an air traffic controller to go on a ride along with you and discuss what pilots can do that is helpful to ATC and what ATC can do that is helpful to pilots. Enjoy your videos, I always try and watch one as my dogs are settling down for the night. They are just the right length.

Not sure if you’ve discussed this before in a previous video, but I do have a question. Are you trying to pursue an airline career eventually, or are you going to stick to the educational/general aviation realms?

I wish I could fly with you I'm a big fan of the Chanel ever since 2019.

launch was 10/10

Next time in Central West Florida (Tampa), I would be honored to meet you. I am retired (ATC, Commercial/Instrument PiLot SMEL, Gliders + Flight Instructor).
