Flying the Cessna 208 Caravan single pilot IFR to Chicago Rockford International Airport and then back to the Spirit of Saint Louis airport. During the flight I work around some rain showers and after landing turn around and fly back to St Louis. The video includes the ATC radio communications and the pilot cockpit view of the takeoff and landings.

As a pilot, I love that you just upload fantastic, uneventful but great videos. Too many RU-vid channels try to sensationalize their journeys and it turns me off. I love your airmanship. I’m a patreon supporter because I appreciate you.

@gmeck100 3 года назад

I am as well. I realize travel is limited. Feel free to make videos of the planes and cockpit even if you are flying that day.

@flightbug2902 3 года назад

Sometimes it's themselves they're sensationalizing. I completely agree! Cpt. Moonbeam is so chill.

Keep the great videos up, I could watch these all day. P.S The Citation videos are equally a blast to watch, really like your approach as to video content.

I just stumbled across your channel and subscribed right away. I really enjoyed the simple, no frills approach you offered to the entire trip. Thanks for sharing a beautiful flight both to and from your destination. I bet your passengers arrive rested and relaxed after a flight with you, no matter the weather or delay. You just come across as competent relaxe and in control. Now don’t make me look stupid when I start watching past and future videos!

Flying in the rain can be the best as long as it not a thunderstorm. In my last RU-vid video I took my mom up and it was sprinkling. The air was very smooth.

@captmoonbeam 3 года назад

Would like to see more technical video content, ie, startup procedure, IFR departure/destination setup on your G-1000, listening to ATIS, and IFR clearance, description of how IFR flight Wx is dealt with on the fly, etc. Beautifully photographed flight.

@bendav 3 года назад

Holy cow - do you steam clean that engine each time you fly? Looks brand new! I also caught the "Citation" reference (with so many others!) - it was a bit of a chuckle! Thanks for sharing your flights!

@bernardanderson7569 3 года назад

Captain Moon you must have the new GoPro cameras because it's a hole lot better than before sir and if you're ever flying to the Northeast region then give me a call for coffee

@dreamaviation381 3 года назад

Love the Caravan videos. Very educational. How is flying the Caravan for new pilot owners? I am not a big fan of piston engines because of avgas prices overseas and it becoming hard to find in certain countries. I will fly a twin piston if I have to (like a Navajo) trying to compare a twin piston Navajo versus a Cessna Caravan. Maybe you can share some operating knowledge for me please. Thanks! Keep flying and be safe!

@Parr4theCourse 2 года назад

PPL and High Performance Endorsement, of course Instrument Rating would be nice as well . . . Basically just a Cessna 182 on steroids, not sure about the Caravan, but a demo'd a Kodiak and it was easier to fly than a 182
