Piper Malibu Flight From Ft. Worth Texas 

"Daughter's uncle from the other side of the family." He went through contortions to avoid saying brother-in-law.

My Dad (RIP) was an Army Cobra pilot and did his initial flight training at Mineral Wells. He told me some great stories about those days. Thank you for your service sir.

My Dad was stationed at CAMP WALTERS in MINERAL WELLS in the 60's. Was a nice place and the town was great.

The porno music was a nice backdrop to his story.

Love this guy ! He's a Fighter pilot that really wants the jet version of this. I guess you can take the pilot out of the plane, but you can't take the fighter out of the pilot. ;)

Some times the pilot is almost more interesting than the plane. Estes is an interesting guy.

Saw my grandmothers old house on approach to 34

Greetings from Russia! We are a good nation, just have stupid government last decades. Nice flying vlog and the interview !!!

Nice one, Tim shows his professionalism. Keep them coming.

Fun Fact, T-1 Jayhawk Air Force Jet Trainer in the background. 3:20 either the student pilot or instructor pilot walks by. I did my Air Force training in South Texas so I may have actually flown that same plane! 8:00 shows a T-1 from Vance AFB in Enid, OK and the one with XL is from Laughlin AFB in Del Rio, TX.

Figure most large men weigh 200-250 pounds. The plane cannot haul to its seat capacity if you are carrying your average large man. I guess you could always haul bubble wrap, styrofoam pellets, down pillows, bulky lightweight items or youth.

What a great GA airplane. I lost my medical after an injury while on active duty. Luck can be cruel.

Great video. I love this plane. Thanks Capt. Tim and Capt. Bobby

Gorgeous plane! Love the Malibu. Cpt. Estes seems like a super nice genuine guy, hopefully we'll get another video down the road when he gets the Jetprop!

Gig 'em Tim!! Awesome Malibu, and great content as always Bobby!

Gorgeous day for that flight. Thanks for posting

Another great video! Hope you enjoyed your time down in New Orleans and wish we could have caught up!

I love your videos mate! Keep it going!

I feel like the endings are always awkward 🤣🤣

Love the Malibu.

Bobbie. Can you do a review on a Skydiving Airplane (King Air, Twin Otter, Caravan, Porter, Pac 750...) and Laura can do a Tandem at the same time?

That's a beautiful plane right there

Love this, keep up the awesome work

So awesome that it does have a pressurized cabin. I love the idea of getting above the weather for your passengers/family/friends. Looks roomy and comfortable as well. Good enough for a retired Naval Fighter Pilot and Commercial Pilot...good enough for me! Love the over the wing footage! Wondering if the 2-bladed prop is optimal or would a 3 be better? Regardless, great Pilot, great presentation and great over-all production...AS USUAL! HAPPY/SAFE FLYING Y'ALL!👍

Piper Malibu, have always been one of my favorite airplanes.

My dream aircraft that I plan on purchasing sooner or later is either the Piper Meridian, PC-12 or TBM 850. It definitely has to be a turbine engine, I don't trust piston engines when flying over water. But if I had to buy an aircraft with a piston engine I would definitely be buying a dual engine aircraft because I plan on flying a lot over large bodies of water. But my number one choice would definitely be a PC-12, the SUV of the skies.

"I'm a conservative pilot, I've been landing on gravel bars and doing barrel rolls" i believe those two consecutive comments may be in conflict.

Best video so far! Keep it up!

Your doing a wonderful job my friend keep it up Thanks

'greatest country in the world' hahaha, whatever mate

Gig’em Aggies Tim from College Station! Good video Bobby!

One of the most popular topics of discussion: Not sure if I entirely agree with him saying there's not much gain from 2 engines. At the end of the day if you're traveling over water (somewhat) with your family you might want 2 engines rather 1 ( like the Cessna 340). I think it extends your glide if you lose an engine and helps in IMC. Hey I may not be right so feel free for anyone to chime in.

Thanks for another great video, the Malibu was my favourite aircraft when it first came out.

come to Alaska... we have great fly-in events all over the state great videos... all of them

Bobby You keep finding great pilots!

Nice plane! You opened my eyes to the Malibu. I was not familiar with this really impressive aircraft. Enjoy your videos. Keep em comin.

Bobby, watching your videos led me to another pilot’s RU-vid channel (310Pilot)...he’s got a Cessna 310 equipped with a yaw dampener. Smaller than the Malibu.

Another home run, Bobby ! Beautiful airplane and a cool owner. I love hearing "pilot talk" !

Sweet 80’s Porn music !!!!!

Really enjoy these videos. Great job

Good stuff Bobbie! Please keep it up!

Thank you for your service, nice Malibu.

“Refreshed”. Good explanation of how I feel after almost all my flights.

Just my $0.02 worth: I'd much rather spend bucks on my panel (maybe total new panel,) state-of-the-art avionics and auto-pilot than on a PT-6. I'd rather "go strong," than "go fast." And 14 gallons/hour sounds really good to me too.

Love that airplane. Maybe the Meridian would be interesting to see, I wonder how much faster?

Beautiful aircraft. I remember seeing ads for the Malibu and wishing I could flow and own one.

Loved your talking, got refreshed..bless and these pa46 are so great planes!

I enjoyed when he turned it back to you and asked you if you miss it and about your condition. Glad to see that you took the cards you were dealt and have turned it into a great adventure. Great videos on both channels!

Wouldn't that be his Brother-In-Law?

Outstanding video. Shalom

Thanks for sharing! Another great one. Love watching you and the pilots explain their planes. I love my Mooney!

Okay, 15 gallon per hour. Nice. But what is fuel price per gallon?

Hi I need help!! lol. We have a plane exactly like this one. My husband has been flying for over 35 years now. He is a great pilot! And he wants to travel and wants me to go with him! I have tried… But I am deathly fearful a Flying. The whole time I’m in the air I cannot relax at all any little bit of a bump scares me so badly! Do you have any advice for me to put away my fears? Thank you so much for your time:-)

Why you don’t show the passenger area?

Congratulations on your channel's growth Bobby. Yours is a very inspirational story. If you ever find yourself in northeast Florida, you have an open invitation to fly together. Would love to see you back in the left seat and behind the controls for the episode, though.

Heavy on controls. Grounded for a problem that was not really solved. Climbs like an Angel. Won’t fit in most Tee hangars.

Pilot got very passive aggressive near the end. Bobby should never have to defend his medical situation. Also, for a reservist, being a commander I would kick him out for not adhering to weight control. There is no place for fat pilots. The regulations are clear on that.

I just spotted that for sale on controller they have it listed for 385k honestly not bad to get you 200kts and a pressurized cabin he must have found his turboprop aircraft

Most planes feel underpowered after flying A-7's for a few years. LOL This is a great plane though. Great video.

Hey nice video! Big shout-out from Brazil!

I like the pilot's sunglasses.

Cool video. I love the variety, Bobby. It's interesting to me that a plane that has a butt in every seat and full fuel tanks would be "overloaded". Is that common?

loved it Bobby, thnx for sharing 🐩🐩👍🍺

This dudes a champ.

Hey Bobby, love this channel. Keep them coming!

Videos have been great.

Good video. Would also like to see the cabin amenities as well.

Thanks for all the great content, Bobby! Another awesome video!!

I'm an avid flight simmer (blood pressure issues or would get Pilot's license) and I absolutely LOVE the Malibu. Great video, beautiful plane.

Enjoyed this one Bobby. Well, actually enjoy all of them so far. Would the new basic med rules work for you?

I love this plane. It was the first one I flew to Florida on.

Isn't how daughters uncle his brother in-law

Me: "Hi I'm Tim Estes and this is my 19...oh wait" Tim Estes: "Hi I'm Tim Estes and this is my Piper Malibu it's a 1984 model" Mindfuck

Meacham field. Memories of training there in the early 90s.

I really liked this video Bobby. It is nice to see General Aviation from a Commercial Pilot's perspective. Tim seemed like a very nice guy and loved his patriotism! 20,000 + flight hours puts him in an elite category ! Love your interviews with the pilots and their responses. There are so many flying videos on RU-vid but I really like the variety you incorporate in your videos!

Sure hope you two fellas became friends ! Good buds

Love the video. I Iove watching the landing gear move.

Piper made some great planes. I have a '71 Cherokee Arrow 200. It's the fastest of the Arrows because smallest airframe with biggest engine. Not saying Arrows are fast, lol but it's a nice cross country machine. Did some speed mods and slick mags after having a LASAR ignition.

Good thing it climbs well cause 41 gph is brutal! Guess that’s how they keep it cool, though. On the other hand 15 gph is darn good in cruise. My only problem with the PA46 is the lack of headroom. I’m 6’2” and every time I’ve ever flown one, I’ve had to sit with my head canted inboard. Can’t lower the seat cause it’s right over the wing spar. I’ve heard some owners have custom thin seat cushions made!

Never heard anyone say "It's a flyer" about a plane.

Military men make the "best" pilots, bar none.

KEEP THE ADDS COMMING BOBBY

what's the weight? I hear plane is kinda under-powered. But still a BEAUTIFUL plane which I would love to own!

Great shadows on the final and the landing.

Beautiful airplane, long legs, family flyer.

Did he lose his medical after having a stroke?

My great aunt started taking me up in her hot rodded Cessna 152 when I was 10 yrs old. Now I just fly on the ground on my Harley. Great content!

Thanks Tim:)

The thing about multi engines is useful load, especially with the Aztec. I took a trip to the Bahamas, full fuel, 6 passengers and baggage, still would climb out at 900fpm. It is non pressurized burning 14gph each side leaned out at altitude though..................

your daughters uncle ? did you mean your brother

Me cansó ver al hombre bla bla bla recostado por el avión.

Damn! When it cut and showed the speedo at 218mph I had to double take.. I'm pretty sure he hadn't even started the descent yet. I love seeing planes max out and I'm pretty sure thats the first time I've ever seen a video of someone EXCEEDING the maximum speed of an aircraft! 185kts = 212mph haha that's awesome!

I wish you guys would do away of the annoying music

Great choice in music Bobby! LOL at all the people who apparently don’t realize that there is a reason Tim doesn’t call him his brother in law.

Hi guys.( This useless comment is meant to help my favorite sailors with their RU-vid statistics revenue. RU-vid factors in the number of 1: LIKE 2: COMMENT 3: SHARE .)

Not a hard landing for a Navy pilot right? Loving this channel and all the personalities. Thought Tim might have more to add/talk about in flight. Felt like I was on a checkride lol

I love the videos but that music is unbearable

Would have liked a little more technical info on the plane. I’ve flown the older Continental powered Malibus a few times and like the plane but just don’t trust that engine. Without perfect maintenance and babying they were flat out dangerous. My daughter flies an M600 in Alaska (owned by my soon to be son in law). I’ve flown it a number of times and it’s a very capable and economical plane w the Garmin 3000 avionics package and at half the price of a TBM 900 or Pilatus PC-12.

Good stuff Bobby. Can't help comparing these types of aeroplanes with my 1966 Piper PA24 Comanche which I have owned for 43 years. Would be great if you could do an air test on one sometime.

Thank you sir. I usually watch to hear about the planes. But this time I enjoyed hearing the man's story and seeing how he actually put his experience to work. Thank you both for your service. Keep up the good work.👍
