Landing At Night | Big Airport | Small Airplane | Nashville, TN 

Kay, do you ever get people who critique your flights? LOL! Well, I am a former CFII and I flew GA for about 10 years. I've got another 30 plus years as an airline plot, and I want you to know that I have no tips to offer you. You have a really nice balance of knowing how to fly well, and being a real person too. You really do a great job. I love your conversational style too. And your 50 year old airplane is magnificent. After all these years, and thousands of hours flying all over the world, I am retired now. I don't intend to fly again, but it is nice to be able to go along with you while you fly. Thanks so much Kay.

Kay, what impresses me the most- your CONFIDENCE. You're methodical and deliberate and you NEVER play catchup in the cockpit. You're always out in front. I direct people to your vids... I tell them- THIS... is how it's done. Happy New Year - stay safe and have fun.

My 5-year-old son and I were eating breakfast. We were watching this and he was glancing at it until you introduced yourself and said you can teach people to fly . He looked over at me and said with a bit of milk dribble out the mouth said he wanted you to teach him to fly.

that windscreen needs some TLC.

Re; the ATC @ 16:08: "...November, contact Columbus approach one TREE FIFE point six..." I love that guy!

My dad had his private pilot license and we took several short hops in a Cessna high wing (I don't remember the exact model, it wasn't a 172, but very similar) around the Houston area. Mostly Baytown, Anahuac, up to Tyler and probably more that I can't remember. He passed away a couple of years ago and listening to you talk through your flights reminds me so much of flying with him, listening to the radio calls and traffic, checklists, etc. Thank you for sharing your trips and being such a good example of how safety can be interesting!

Retired. Piloting in the rear view mirror. Miss it. Enjoy flying with you. Thanks!

Hi Kay, no one ever made flying look as much fun as you do, great fun watching you.

Kay is so PRECIOUS!! I can't stand it!!

Hi Kay I’am a firefighter in Australia however i did spend some awesome time with the guys at Station 71 in Prescott AZ it was a pleasure serving the people of Prescott

Your videos are oddly calming and entrancing. I feel like I'm in the plane with you and we're having a conversation. Thank you for that. The algorithm "gave" you to me for the first time this morning and I'm happy about that!

Pilot debreafing with Hoover loves your flying. Because you are flying SAFE!!!!! 🙂 I love your safty flying also. Every pilot should talk to them selves and use Checklists. 🙂

I agree with the cold and coffee. Enjoying your videos. Shut-in love your running comments.

WOW! I didn't realize that i never finished that 1. That was awesome Kay! keep em comin

Nashville is awesome! Great food and great music!

Beautiful Landing, Awesomeness!!!!! You Rock!!!!

Seeing the Navy jet pull up next to you was cool

New Year's Eve for me - right here in Texas, Kay. There's no place better!

It’s so nice and so much History

Have a great day. BLESSINGS

Red Solo Cup I'll fill you up with salty popcorn with salty popcorn 😁

Yay, Clarksville, TN!!!! ✈

NIGHT OWL???? Ive been working grave yard shift at the NM Port of Entry East Bound for 7 years. i ran in to your page and cant stop watching! I trained in a 172 Cessna in Abq, NM in the early 70s. I loved the Pilot Debrief he did on you. You are cool as a cucumber!!

NYE in Australia would be awesome! But, don't think I could ever be in a plane THAT long! That's a haul! PS - Come to San Antonio - dinner is on me !

8:07 so are you!

Nashville is near home for me. Class C, but at times very busy. Anticipate it’s gonna be reclassified.

Looks like you are having a good time in your video Kay

RIP

I really enjoy your comments and instruction as you fly. Really like the camera shots of the instrument panel. Thats new. Great video.

Thank you for the entertaining content! 👏🎉😃👍💐☝️🎁

Good work! I flew out of Teterboro in the NYC air zoo. I was filed get out and get in because of traffic. Did file on Sunday coming back from Montauk called in and politely was told that was number 52 to land! Ha ha ha! Air filed!🎉

lol finding the runway is my biggest issue in the flight sim =P

as a former engineer I would think that a stronger fan is in order, also in older aircraft the hoses tend to get cracked and fail, maybe have that checked in your next annual.

As an avid aviation enthusiast and a GA pilot going on 20 years and a few thousand hours, most of which solo, one important practice I do when flying is to abstain from eating anything along my route. The reason is because if food gets stuck in my throat, then there’s a good chance of choking to death. I learned this the hard way many years ago and was very lucky to live to tell about it. Anyway, something to think about if flying solo. Thank you for your great content! Always a joy to watch!

NYC at New Years is crazy, literally toe to toe, elbow to elbow crowds. Did it one year and said TV is much better lol All kinds of mischief was happening around us, pickpocketing and ,fights, consider that choice wisely lol. Being a trauma nurse and being on call a lot made me a night owl, been doing it nearly 30 years has made it just natural for me.

Nashville for New Years🥂

@FlyWithKay >>> Great video...👍

U do a awsome job flying your air plane

Sounds like you're still flying a "turkey" LOL!

Great video I always enjoy night flights. keeps you sharp

Thanks for a nice tour/ björn from Sweden

Kay is so inspirational! Keep up the vids!

Fantastic

Beautiful sunset! Love the wing cam❤️❤️

That is so cool 😎

Night flying is always so much calmer. Low traffic. Less turbulence. So nice. 🙂

I am cold natured too and I live in Fl.

I still up late at night Kay 🌙 🌙 🌙 🌙 🌙 🌙 🌙

"Kayviation", I like that! 😅 I knew an engineer who talked her way through everything back in the 1980s. I stood behind her pilot's seat in a C130 airplane as she did a "test run" as a ground running of engines and such is called for those unaware. There were 4 of us aboard to watch her and a quiet coengineer helping, we 4 were all new apprentices. This was our first time out for a test run. Those 3 guys got smart though, they were listening to something else, not to her. No one said a word, just her, detailing everything as you do, which is impressive. She even explained why gauge needles move, lights flash, what they tell her, I was intrigued and found it mesmerizing, hoping to be on the copilot's seat some day soon. Four big turboprop engines growling and suddenly, the hesdset I had on, intended to hear communications and to protect my ears from loud engine noises, was the thing I got blasted in. The engineer looked back at those she could see, and they were not even looking at what she was doing. So she yelled to get our attention, not knowing I was tuned in to her. Off it went, and I panicked and she said "Sorry!" and scolded the others for not taking the training we were being given. She had all rights to grab our attention, she was doing a fine job seemingly for that peer engineer who was already trained, and had there been an emergency, there could have been a chaos with some people scattering for unknown reasons. I say 'Woman Power' to you. 😊

50° in the South was cold for me. I'm from the Midwest. 41° in the South is bone chilling. It's the moisture. It's damp in the South compared to a dry cold up North

You should fly into the Andalusia Opp Airport here in South central Al. It's a nice Airport. Your absolutely breath takingly beautiful as well

Being cold is not a pet peeve for me. I have been from Boston most of my life. I was freezing for a long time.

Darn pretty girl, I have only been watching for a few weeks, yet found myself excited you posted new content...lol I guess I needed to hit the skies with a high energy exciting captain. Thanks for letting me sit right seat on this adventure. Stay safe..143

cold is my pet peeve too! And I'm a night owl.

I guess "check pen working" should be added to the checklist 😅

Hi Kay I like the way u check all your Indraments. Thank you. U r welcome fly safe hnave nice flight

Nice flight Kay, thanks for sharing. You made no mention of flashligihts. Consider at least two such as a pen light and a clip light you could clamp to a hat bill or even your shirt collar. As for the cold plexiglass being uninsulated is the problem and its a phenomena. What follows is a copy/paste from Bing; The phenomenon you are describing is called cold-induced vasodilation. When your skin is exposed to cold temperatures, the blood vessels in your skin constrict to conserve heat and keep your core warm. However, if you stand too close to a cold window, the heat from your body is transferred to the cold glass, causing your skin to cool down. Happy Flying!

Hi Kay! I just found your channel today. I’m no aviator myself, but I grew up around aircraft my entire childhood. My late dad was a Navy aircraft mechanic for 20 yrs and an A&P mechanic, aircraft inspector & QC audit for FedEx for 20. He owned a Cessna 172, a Lark Commander & a Piper Cherokee over the decades. His first 172 he rebuilt & repainted himself. Love your show. You’ve got the sweetest voice!

Should fly into St. Augustine Regional (SGJ), only a couple mile to the historic downtown, there is a ton of live music there.

Ahhh, the joys of keeping night-time currency-I always enjoyed flying teh red-eyes thru the night...

Hello Goldielocks 😊

I'm in love.

Shout out from KMBO/JKAN

You should have a t-shirt that has "Alright" on it. You say it a lot and it's a trademark for you in my book. Keep up the good work on the videos. I enjoy them a lot.

Kay. I slept in till 4:30pm kay

Love your videos kay. Excellent pilot skills, very informative and you come across as a wonderful person. Stay safe. Best wishes from UK.

I love your videos! Would also love to see some brief clips of your destinations at the close of your epic journeys, if you feel inclined to share. Blue skies 🛩

Key West!

You ask for places to fly into to enjoy a good meal, try Hutchinson Regional air port, KHUT they have a great buffet and steak house in the facility. Hutchinson KS, There are a few things to check out here they Hutch salt mines you can tour and see Batman's costume from the movie along with other movie memorabilia. Then visit the Cosmosphere and maybe catch a movie on their Imax

My father was one of the first Federal Express employees. His employee number was 144. He earned his A&P while working for Key West Aero & Island City Flying Service in Key West back in the 1960’s. You really should fly down to Key West and enjoy the amazing view of the ocean where the coral reef ends and the deep seas begin. The water has a distinct line where the ocean goes from beautiful green to deep blue. Lotsa sunken ships are clearly visible from the air. I’m a retired Trucker. I did all my “Flying” at ground level. Lol

Good Christmas morning from Minnesota!! Merry Christmas!!

My pet peeve is cold grey rainy days. Unfortunately here in the UK we get too many of them.

New years at the north pole that would be cool

I’m definitely a night owl

Hey Kay. I have family living in Arizona. Right now

Come to Chagrin Falls,Ohio for new years where we drop a giant Popcorn Ball at midnight

Miss Kay, you may want to have a sweat shirt and or jacket in a cool weather go bag for when you fly. Maybe you have one already to go and it is in the hanger!

Truly enjoy your channel.

Take a holiday cruise and bring in the new year in the Caribbean.

Edinburgh Scotland for New Year.

Hi Kay... lovely flight....

How funny, I live in Mesa about 4 miles west of Falcon Field.

my real home DFW

2 hours and 36 minutes!

Watching here in London England excellent entertainment

Hello Kay, I greet you from Puebla Mexico, I really appreciate your video, which helped me a lot, because I haven't flown to the USA for many years and this gives me light on how to do it, I really appreciate it. 👍

Your funny ❤👍Learning alot just watching your videos

I swear if I'm not paying particular attention it sounds for all the world like you're saying "Turkey 7738 November Hah. New subscriber enjoying the content.

I like two be in Florida for new years

You fly so well, Kay!

I am a night owl, and I live in South Africa 🇿🇦. I catch snakes on people's properties and relocate them to the wild. Keep up the good videos

Love you and your channel. Only sticking point for me is the constant requests for unnecessary comments. I get what you’re doing and why but it’s a bit of a distraction for me. Keep doing what you do. You have a bright future ahead of you.

do more night fly please and thanks you and i like your videos !!

I remember years ago in Olive Branch Mississippi when my A&P Dad bought a Loran Nautical navigation unit and installed it in his Lark Commander. He installed an aviation Loran antenna, routed the cable, and installed his “Boat” Loran unit in the Dash of his Lark. It looked like it was a factory job. (They did make an FAA approved Loran for aircraft…but they were far more expensive). He hooked it up, turned it on and away he went. It worked perfectly.

Not sure if Lil Red can handle it (def not meaning it to sound offensive but I’m sure you’ll understand) but Telluride airport…. AMSL 9,078ft But there is also surrounding terrain of up to 14,000ft. Telluride, Ouray and those parts of the western slope of Colorado are amazing!!

Kay, you make flying easy…..but I know it’s not, so much technical jargon to immense yourself in during the flight….AND I didn’t know small wing planes have auto pilot..cool…

Hi Kay, Really enjoy your videos .
