You never know what tomorrow brings. This is why I fly. Each day I can do this, is a gift.

My kids are younger, but man I feel the seasons changing. Tears of joy and sadness, you’re doing amazing dad! They will remember these days forever.

@SoCalFlyingMonkey 11 месяцев назад

I hope they do.. :)

@poppinsh.7820 11 месяцев назад

For once, we surprised you! Well … mostly … Great video of a pretty perfect day … and a great reminder of how quickly it all goes by …

@fhturner3 11 месяцев назад

Great job! Well done on the radio calls as well! 😁

@TheKevintegra19 6 дней назад

You have such a beautiful family and youre making such magical memories. The smiles and enthusiasm are contagious...

@gee-force 11 месяцев назад

Beautiful video. However, very profound words in the end. While the 'first' is often expected and repeated, 'last' is unexpected and is absolute. ❤️

@ofirgal2210 11 месяцев назад

Best story told… was the best one yet

@rainsilent 11 месяцев назад

The last of something bit was absolutely beautiful. The rest of the video was great and that was an amazing way to cap it off. Thank you.

@SoCalFlyingMonkey 11 месяцев назад

Glad you enjoyed it!

I'm not crying...you're crying! We're in the same season of life as your family and the airplane plays such a cool role.

@cpt_anthony 11 месяцев назад

Awesome video, if anyone is wondering what that amazing song in the beginning is: Soliel - Its too late (instrumental). Great song by the way

@FlyingPapaBear 11 месяцев назад

Awesome outro!!! So much heart in every word you´ve said. Cherish every moment, it could be the last time.

@kiltedpiper98 11 месяцев назад

So true. Teared up a bit thinking of our families recent lasts.

@thomasperotti 11 месяцев назад

Amazing video!! As a dad I know what you’re talking about, our elder daughter moved out a couple of years ago and in another couple the younger one will too…… You love and miss them, but are glad they are moving into the next phase of their lives…..

@NathanBallardSaferFlying 11 месяцев назад

Fantastic video, storytelling, flying and most importantly a wonderful example of family being the most important thing - thanks for sharing!

@ben-n-stephflyingcircus8281 11 месяцев назад

I think it’s awesome how comfortable the Mrs has become with flying! She has come a long way from your earlier videos. As a pilot who has a family with a love of flying, I realize how important it is! Makes it all worth it!

@SoCalFlyingMonkey 11 месяцев назад

She has definitely come a long way and youre right it makes a big difference!

@DanielD2724 11 месяцев назад

The end literally made me cry 😢

@BrianSiskind 11 месяцев назад

You know I am a fan of any narrative that addresses time and relational memory, and aviation! Well done man loved this one. Makes me wish I could've had a family!

@av8or971 11 месяцев назад

Spending time with family is awesome, and making memories is even better. I have been to the White Sands Dunes, i have been to some sand dunes out in Saudi Arabia near Dhahran. My dad rented a cabin for Christmas one year back in 1989, in SLO, and we did some exploring of the beach, but i have always wanted to visit SLO sand dunes.

@brianb5594 11 месяцев назад

Great your family shares in your passion! You are a blessed man! Great video as always!

@SoCalFlyingMonkey 11 месяцев назад

I appreciate that!

@dougbotimer4195 11 месяцев назад

Wow…many great videos but this one really hit home. Gotta enjoy every moment…those kids (and my kids) are growing up and time is traveling waaaaaay too fast. Thank you for your videos. Please keep making them…

@SoCalFlyingMonkey 11 месяцев назад

Glad you enjoyed it!

@flyingtg7792 11 месяцев назад

Nice trip, happy fathers day! Live the moment, live the dream!

@darrylday30 10 месяцев назад

Just returned from a two week family trip from Quebec to British Columbia and back. Absolutely wonderful. You’re family has inspired mine. Our Arrow is a partnership with another couple and it’s not as pretty as yours but we found a way. BTW, buying an airplane was my wife’s idea. Keep living the life and inspiring others to do the same.

@MastinoNapoletano420 11 месяцев назад

Not only are the seasons changing, a flying monkey changed into a desert rat for a day! Great video! Thanks for sharing! Hope all is well!

@1hornet1 11 месяцев назад

What a day you had. I really hate sand but love that you managed to have fun in it somehow.

@mitchellmimier5004 4 месяца назад

Dang it, man. Was just going about my business watching flying videos and now I have a lump in my throat. My baby girl has gone from infant to toddler overnight, and that last thumb grab has passed me by. My 7 month old son won't be far behind. Looking forward to creating my own family flying memories. Enjoy your content immensely. Blue skies.

@yamilcabrera2111 11 месяцев назад

Everything you said is so true. It is more of an eye opener when you work in a Hospital. Wish my wife would fly with me just us two. She only flies if there is another pilot onboard.

@SoCalFlyingMonkey 11 месяцев назад

What if SHE became a pilot? Then there would be 2 on board… :)

@ahmadsamadzai8255 11 месяцев назад

Awesome video. WHP is awesome. I just flew 15 hrs out of WHP this week in the C172. A dream come true kind of week flying to APV, F70, PSP, and the biggest bucket list item of them all to KLAS. Absolutely loved flying in SoCal airspace (although at times it felt like the wild wild west).

@thefamilythatfliestogether 11 месяцев назад

Great video! It's the family moments like these that you will carry with you for a long time to come. Thanks for taking us along on your memorable day. Also, Oceano (L52) is one of our favorite airports to fly into. After we got the 310 I was worried we'd not be able to land there. However, we can still get in/out. We've since camped there and walked to the beach playing in the ocean and on the dunes several times.

@SoCalFlyingMonkey 11 месяцев назад

Yeah that’s a great little airport.

@jimiemick 11 месяцев назад

Great little family day out! As a soon to be father I am looking forward to these moments more and more!! Also i love how you can just go hire 4 wheelers and drive them on the dunes, in Australia you cant use a 4 wheeler on public land, only private....... (unless you are using it for AG reasons and then it needs to be registered etc)

@SoCalFlyingMonkey 11 месяцев назад

There are only a few places that allow this type of 4 wheel riding. Our first time riding on dunes. It was super fun

@ChadGrenierPilot 11 месяцев назад

Beautiful video. I love how you encorportate the meaning of flight and the experience it brings us, just as much as the technical part of aviation itself. I'm raising 2 younger girls and this got me a bit emotional, so congrats on a well produced video as always.

@jereldrogers7549 11 месяцев назад

Great video as usual dude….I’d give almost anything to go back and have some of those days back with my boys. BUT, it is very rewarding watching them all move into adulthood! You’re about to enter the next phase of being a Dad. In some ways it’s harder and more important than ever. It can also be fun too. Enjoy it!

@SoCalFlyingMonkey 11 месяцев назад

It’s been interesting to see how the relationships evolve. Very different…not better or worse just different. And yeah definitely rewarding.

Your videos are always a good motivation! I have been a long time subscriber and for a short time patreon member. Have been watching since my private days! I did stop watching for a while during instructing (just because I didn't have much time) but now next week, off to airlines! Thank you for the amazing content you put out there; got me through some tough times where it reminded me how great aviation really is.
