I really enjoyed the video. As a Bahamian, I'd like to thank you and your family for visiting and sharing both your experiences and what we have to offer. Hope to see you and others visit again soon.
Absolutely not. GA has turned into the biggest grift. I suspect made in communist CCP trash. They realize they have a captive buyer. I don't want to hear, "but it's certified, but it's certified". Sometimes ya just can't fix stupid. I have my fixed wing and rotorcraft ratings. Had to step back because of the cost.
Flying in Alaska is similar in that some airports have radio advisory available, and while they sound like ATC, they don't 'clear to land' etc. They simply provide traffic and weather information. When flying on an IFR flight plan, other than contacting radio, the approach is exactly like flying into a non-towered airport. Great video. Thanks!
Great video. Very entertaining. 👍 The list of airplanes to fly over water from best to worst and let’s just say all are good MX engines, for me is 1. Jet 2. Twin or single Turboprop 3. Twin engine piston 4. Single engine piston. A twin beats a single even with a chute because excluding fuel contamination which can be avoided the second engine will allow you to continue flying. The chute will help in a water landing but the flight is over. However if I’m having this conversation with my wife while over water in a cirrus, Cessna or Piper, I would list all the reasons why it’s the number one choice because passenger comfort is important. Lastly above all, the most important thing is pilot knowledge and experience regardless of the aircraft.
Oh we love Bandon! We lived a few hours from there and would visit all the time! The owners of the little Italian restaurant in downtown have the coolest story about how they ended up there in Bandon from Italy.
I hate to say it but I think that place closed… super sweet town though. Amazing how windy and cloudy it can be at the shore but just a few hundred yards inland it’s sunny and beautiful.
@@beofile7 yah. Old video. We’re planning to reshoot this video in a few weeks with new equipment. Plus some more helicopter flying content. Subscribe and you won’t miss it!
We've done the Fisk arrival 5 times now. This year was much better than last, both years we came in on Thurday morning, the morning after the first night airshow, a lot of the early arrivals leave after that. The change in the NOTAM, no Thurday arravals until after 8 am seemed to have really helped, once in line on the Fisk we got right in. Landed 36L, requested N40 and got it. We got a spot right by the Red 1 market and shower/bath house, awesome! We love the N40 because we like going to The Hanger resturant late afternoon, AC, good food and a cocktail! It was an interesting year, GAC seemed less packed, but show grounds were very busy, and the weather was perfect! I'll have to try the IFR arrival next year.
Based out of HTF not far from you.. that clicking in your radios on receiving... Just went thru this in my Mooney.. It was a bad ignition lead. Changed out mag harness and clicking gone. We originally thought it was the 430 but after sending it out for repair it didnt help... Me and the wife watch all your vids...
Mount Rushmore was way more impressive than I thought it would be. From the air it’s hard to get close enough to it and you’re at 7700 MSL so not sure it’s totally worth it. But we were going there anyway, so it made sense.
would only use vertical speed in climb if only climbing a couple thousand feet. Vertical speed while climbing has got many people in deep doo doo because vertical speed will try and keep that climb rate totally ignoring airspeed and will ultimately lead to a stall.
