I am from Michigan and have been to Mackinaw several times its a magical place that takes you back in time it definitely is a cool place. Its cool to see it from your perspective.

@AviatorMark 4 года назад

searay3400 I agree! It’s truly magical and from above it provides a whole other world of beauty!

@colinpotter7764 4 года назад

I drove over that bridge on my first ever day of driving in the USA when visiting from the UK. You have brought back a lot of memories!

@AviatorMark 4 года назад

Colin Potter It really is an incredible bridge in a magnificent place! I always enjoy my time up there.

4:46, the longtime A&P in me immediately noticed the fluctuating fuel flow gauge for the no.2 engine. Could be a loose wire in the cannon plug for 28V power supply or for the electrical ground.

@AviatorMark 4 года назад

Ish 2 Da Choppa Good eye, it’s since been fixed. I am not sure which issue was causing the problem but they have it taken care of now. Thankful for all the A&Ps who keep us safe!

Another great video and location of one of my favourite films - 'Somewhere in time'. Bonus! Look forward to the next one.

MrMihawes Oh, I haven’t watched that yet. I’ll have to check it out. Love that area.

@luacreskid 4 года назад

I've been to the island over a dozen times over the years....a great place. Rode our bikes up to the airport one time (it is the highest elevation of the island) just in time to see a Beech Bonanza take off. What a beauty way to go.

I've stayed at the grand many times. It is great, I highly recommend it. It is a fairy tale just like the rest of the island.

Oh hey CJ. Ever try the Chuckwagon? I highly recommend it.

@planecents9170 4 года назад

fullscalepilot Hey Eric! No, I will have to try it next time I’m up there. I’ve also been to the mustang lounge. It’s one of the only places open after the tourist season. Seems like it’s the locals place to go. They have a J3 cub prop on the wall and plenty of aviation pictures on the wall. Pretty neat spot.

@BrianJohnson-cj8xf 4 года назад

I learned to fly 40 miles north of there in Sault Ste. Marie ON ... I cross that beast of a bridge about 5 times a year going back home ... I enjoyed your video ... Flew planes in the past Piper PA31, Cessna 401, MU2 and Citation C500 enjoyed your video nice to see familiar ground ... BTW I was based in Thunder Bay for a while crossed Superior many times in the fall is my favorite time of year !!!

@topgeardel 4 года назад

I only agree with the author on one thing. Mackinaw Island is one of the coolest places in the world. I would still rather take one of the unique ferries to the Island b/c of the amazing "ground view" of the Bridge and Straights. They offer very unique views and perspectives just like flying offers. More importantly, its probably a whole lot cheaper.

@AviatorMark 4 года назад

topgeardel Definitely would recommend the ferry ⛴ at least once. I’d agree it’s a unique and fun experience. My preferred method is still by air.

@stevedearth7216 4 года назад

Excellent video. Loves me some UP. We vacation at the Soo, a couple times a year. Maybe you could do a trip following the St. Marys river from Detour up to the Soo.

@njvazquez 4 года назад

Awesome video. I love the King Air. I would suggest to not be so aggressive going into reverse. Brakes stop planes, not props. If one prop fails to go in reverse, a serious asymmetrical condition would be created and with that width of a runway, you could see your memories passing by in slow motion. I’ve experienced that while flying for Uncle Sam in Afghanistan and trust me, it’s no fun. Keep flying and stay safe!

@AviatorMark 4 года назад

njvazquez Funny you mention that. Actually had that happen since this was filmed. Definitely tries to pull the aircraft off the runway. Quickly took all the reverse off. Brakes do stop planes usually but I’ve had those not do the job either and in that case the reverse really saved us! Thanks for watching and giving some good feedback.

@pilotryan1639 4 года назад

great flight. nice landing but did you really need all that reverse. beta and a little brakes would have sufficed

@AviatorMark 4 года назад

I would rather use it than not. Realizing you need it once it’s too late isn’t a fun situation.

@adriandang358 3 года назад

It is actually and officially Mackinac Island, not Mackinaw Island; many people have this wrong. It is Mackinaw City and Mackinaw Bridge but Mackinac Island! Please verify and inform viewers. Safe flying, check six, sir.

@AviatorMark 3 года назад

Adrian Dang Partly correct. It is Mackinac Bridge, Mackinac Island, and Mackinaw City. The pronunciation is the same on all but the city is spelled differently than the Bridge and Island.

@AviatorMark 3 года назад

Adrian Dang It is said “The founders of Mackinaw City opted for the phonetic "aw" spelling, probably as a way to distinguish their town from Mackinac Island for confused postal carriers.”.....

@chuckkirkpatrick6712 4 года назад

Aren't prop levers supposed to go full forward on approach Didn't appear that they were....and the engine rpm's seemed lower than usual for an approach...

@AviatorMark 4 года назад

Chuck Kirkpatrick I used to think that because in all the twins I flew that’s the way it was but in the E-90 it’s forward after touch down. Got called out on it and it’s right in the check list. Good question though.

@uss10998 4 года назад

What's the airport identifier, I'd like to go there... Would you advise flying a Piper Warrior there??

@AviatorMark 4 года назад

CHRIS BROWN KMCD is the identifier. There is a landing fee during the summer months but it is not much. Like $10 or $15. I would definitely fly a Piper Warrior in there. No problem at all. I think I actually have done just that before. The little planes are actually more welcome there than the big boys.

@uss10998 4 года назад

@@AviatorMark heyyyy!! Thanks alot for the response.. I'll definitely put that on my list for this come spring or summer. I'd like to meet you someday. I fly out of Valparaiso, In. (KVPZ) I was at Eagle Air for awhile, now im at Region Flyers..

Bois Blanc Island - locally called "Bob-Lo" Island ... not to be confused with the former amusement park located in the Detroit River. If you ever get to Mackinaw City (yes, it IS spelled differently), go to Darrow's Restaurant for the best food ... Like many businesses in that town, Darrow's is seasonal ... they will re-open for the season on April 23, 2020. (Disclaimer: I have no interest in Darrow's, financial or otherwise - I am just a very satisfied customer.) 26:24 - you say "..Nice Hike.." You forgot to mention that the airport does not have a Courtesy Car ... nor is there any type of motorized taxi service ... Except for a few Emergency vehicles, motorized vehicles are forbidden on the island. No cars, motorbikes, scooters, trucks, etc .... just horse-drawn wagons and bicycles!

@AviatorMark 4 года назад

Randy She Now this is the perfect comment! One with good information and great recommendations for more yummy food. Love love love it! Cheers to a new year 🥳

@1Ocqueoc 4 года назад

@@AviatorMark If there is a problem with Darrow's ... its kinda popular - I have seen cars lined up in the street, waiting for parking spaces - even though the restaurant is maybe 1/2 mile from the central business area. They do not take reservations. Darrow's has to be the cleanest restaurant that I have ever eaten in. be sure to leave room for their famous home-made pie!

@AviatorMark 4 года назад

Randy She Well, I guess that’s the problem when you’re awesome. You start getting popular. Always save room for pie 🥧!

@etiennebreaux8623 4 года назад

Just a little humorous feedback from a retired SwissAir , Swiss International A340 captain. As far as the pilot, I have never in my life heard so many procedures in my life. If In were the young guy, I would have left your non stop talking arse on the tarmac. 😁 Although I've flown over it countless times; you kept pointing out Sky Harbor Airport. It has not been that long but I did not see desert, mountains or 1,000 Celsius temps. Unless Phoenix became tropical. 😎😎 I heard you a few times saying "ladies & gentlemen"; I know the KingAir is a nice sized business/family jet... but I did not hear any screaming kids or ruckus from the cabin. And where in the hell was the cabin crew with beverages and at least a snack? They need to be seriously retrained or let go.... lazy butts... As far as that long bridge... Macaroni Island? (I think you said.) You guys were out in the middle of no where, you should have landed that puppy on the bridge..... be trendsetters.... that's what insurance is for... Looks like you guys had a great time... brings back memories I can bring up, but no desire to fly again... Car or trains is my method of travel these days... Airlines and people are wacko... Your guys enjoy.. thanks for the ride..
