Single Pilot Jet Flight + New Plane Announcement! 

I'm 53, Lived with dogs my entire life. They are a true blessing to mankind. We have a 17 y/o Min Pin who likely won't last much longer. Nice to see this family dedicate so much to dogs.

I am a 82 year old. In my younger days earned private, instrument, commercial, multi engine (land). No jet. King Air was largest plane I ever flew. I really enjoy your videos. You are a fine young man and living your dream. Keep it up and God Bless.

Congratulations !!! I want to thank your family for allowing us to come along on your flights !!!

Hey there, Max! I'm a student pilot, from TX. I'm excited about the upgrade & looking forward to seeing you fly the CJ3. I'm a huge fan of yours. I love what you do & appreciate you taking us along for the ride! I love all your videos, especially when you met up with Greg! I really loved it when you met up with all those guys at Oshkosh! Greg, Brian, Steveo, Shaun, Niko, BaronPilot. I love aviation & I love what all of you guys do. On this video, you mentioned something about hoping that us viewers will continue to follow along when you get the CJ3. Speaking as one of your many subscribers & fans, yep, you're stuck with me. I'll be with you no matter what plane you fly. I could keep going & could talk your ears off, but I'll cut this short for the time being. Love your videos, man! Looking forward to more! Clear blue skies & safe flights, my friend!

Congrats on the upgrade! Looking forward to hearing about your training.

Hi Max, thanks for the ride! I'm excited for you, taking on new challenges, learning, growing as a professional pilot. I'm thankful as well that your family has allowed you to share your flying with us. As always, safe travels, have a very Merry Christmas, a healthy and prosperous New Year!

Glad you are getting the opportunity to upgrade! I'm looking forward to the new ride and the journeys to follow!

As a retired airline pilot and flight instructor in the UK I really enjoy your videos. You come across as very professional. Look forward to seeing the new flying machine!

Max thank you so much for these videos! Have been super scared of flying all my life and watching yours and @Premier1Driver 's videos are slowly helping me understand how flying works. Getting less scared with each video I watch! Although I'll never ever step foot in the cockpit; seeing how calm you are doing it calms me also. Keep doing what you're doing and hope you enjoy the new jet.

Congrats on the upgrade! Many wonderful blessings to you and your family for loving and caring about your furbabies. Happy Holidays!

Well done, Max. Another beautiful video. Look forward to seeing the new jet.

The teasers on Instagram are great but no substitute for the awesomeness of the full videos. Can’t wait to see some amazing CRJ action!

Hi Max from Adelaide South Australia. Another great video - thanks. Have a great Christmas and say Hi to your Mom and the doggies.

Congrats on your upgrade. You do a good job describing what you are doing not visible to viewers and keeping up your dialog with no one in the right seat. (You might like to comment about why you stayed with Textron-Citation over considering another brand.)

As KFXE is my home base, I am glad that you highlighted one of the best FBO's in not just Florida, but in the country... And please stop by more often, we here in SOFLO enjoy your vlogs too... I have been following you from your time with the Cirrus SR22 until now, and congrats on the next chapter of your flying story...

What a contrast! The last video I watched was you at Errie,PA, which made me really emotional because I've only flew in and out once to see my dying father for the last time. This one....a little different....I spent a lot of time, off and on in Tampa in my younger years and I always love when you fly into Tampa! You've literally flown over my apartment twice now! I can clearly see it, just north of Macdill AFB! SO COOL!

Congrats on the CJ3+ Can't wait to see it in a video soon! Curious if you evaluated any other planes and, if so, which ones.

Thanks Max for sharing your story about the dogs and the new plane. It's great to follow you around your trips and adventures. Also great to hear with how much respect you talk about your parents. Keep up the good work and all the best from EHAM (your dad needs to plan a meeting here!) ;-)

You can tell your parents raised an awesome and responsible son. Thanks for letting us in the cockpit with you and also to your friends Steveo1kinevo and Gregg. For me that can’t fly because of health problems thanks again and Happy New Year and hoping the family business has a great 2020.

Well done max and senior max. Very professional and heartfelt. Can’t wait to see it. Awesome I’d fly from the uk just to fly with you

Wow...Nice Upgrade Max! "Merry Christmas and Happy New Year too" nice sentiments about N2RF, my N98858 is the last airplane that I flew with my Dad ';-)

Have you guys looked at a Dassault Falcon 2000. It can handle the range you need no problem. I work for Dassault so I'm partial, but they make a solid aircraft. I have seen netjets plabes with 20k hours and still going strong.

Ya know, with a lightly used Falcon 50EX you could file FLE-Tampa and use LAX as an alternate for a lot less than a new CJ3....... !

Max> as a new viewer your explanation of the new plane and your dad helps to clarify things for me as a novice viewer.

One hell of a landing. Fighting that wind.

Excited for you in acquiring the new aircraft in meeting your dad's and family's mission! Thanks for sharing all your journeys, Max. Upward and onward!

Nice video, I like it when the wind makes me earn my takeoff and landings! Congratulations on the new bird!

Max-awesome vid as always! Wish I could meet you in person some day to tell you how much your videos mean to me and general Aviation also. So many barriers to aviation, but your videos and time give inspiration and hope. Indeed. 😊👍🏼

Gonna miss the M2 but will like seeing your new adventures in the 3+. Safe flying Max

Tampa with Bubba The Love Sponge!! Love the video ....

I've learned more watching this channel than I have watching any of the other (popular) channels. Thank you.

Good landing on runway 1R

Congrats to you. Can’t wait to see new plane

Max, Great channel ... enjoy using you to get my brain back into the flying mode. My USNA roommate just started flying again with Flexjet and as a former USMC helo pilot, I have enjoyed the understanding your channel has given me of his journey. Keep up the great work. ~Rob

Good news max. Hope new plane works well.

Congrats on the upgrade and the expanded flying time!

Going to the CJ3? That's not a bad move at all, and you'll have to go over cockpit differences with us in a early video. But will miss that plane you're in in this vid bit, as it has taken you places. Hope you and the family have a Blessed Holiday Season, and New Year ;)

Love the fur children cool story about the 2RF

Great news. Congrats on the new ride. Hopefully, we get more fabulous videos....Love it that y'all are such incredible animal people, especially Citation Mom....... Blessings to the Weldon Family...

I found your channel a couple of weeks ago and have really enjoyed the videos. Looking forward to some of the trips to Tx. Take care!!!

Very cool Max! Congrats to you and your family! Hope to meet you someday! Stoked for you guys! Also love the meaning in the tail number! That’s perfect and I’m so glad 2RF is staying onboard!

Nice flying max

Great flight look forward to the new plane And I know where you are coming from we have dogs in our life don’t know what we would do without them , we had to say goodbye to our first family dog (max) English springer spaniel and now we have Arnold same breed great dogs All the best Paul from the uk

Great Content, makes me wish I was in your seat at times . If you would please explain the engine start procedure. Thanks. Keep the content coming

Congrats! Looking forward to watching the longer flights.

Hi Max! Excellent video!👍👍👍

nice upgrade, congratulations!

Awesome!! SO looking forward to CJ3+ Vids and maybe a ride someday when you make a stop at OJC ...hint,hint,hint...I'll buy you all the BBQ you care to eat...O and you should stop by and get Marcus on the way! Love ya buddy!

Got to love a country where you can buy a new jet and keep the old one! Congratulations.

Go Max ! Great Stuff ! All the Best and Happy Holidays ! Uncle Rudy.

CONGRATS Max on the new CJ3+!!!!!!!

Great Video ..I live in South Africa but my family are in Tampa now

Ever get to providence? I’d love to take you to lunch or dinner for the great video content!

Congrats on the new ride! Did you guys consider the Phenom 300E or the PC24 when you were looking?

Congratulations! I’m excited for you! Should be fun to follow along.

Would it be possible for you to do a walk-around & walk-through video in the new Citation?

Look forward to watching your travels in the CJ3+. Been following you from the beginning.

Mission has changed so aircraft needs to change to match... would make no sense to have a jet sitting on the ramp while you are paying someone else to fly the new mission for you. Best of luck to you all with the new purchase, true you are very lucky to be able to fly it but we are also very lucky that you choose (and your family allows) us to follow along and be part of it. 👍👍

Welcome to Tampa, Max. My Home town. Great Vid, I also got a kick on your flight to Venice Beach with Steveo. lol. Good stuff. Sharky's on the pier is a great choice.

Congrats! That's so cool. Think you will ever be GulfMax or GlobalMax? ;)

congrats on new plane-sounds great!

Max congrats to you and your Dad on the new CJ3 Plus.

Congratulations on the new family plane..... that's exciting news.

Great job! Good luck with the new plane!!!

Congratulations on the upgrade! I’ll be flying a CJ3+ starting next month, so looking forward to your videos on the model as well. Your videos are well shot and very informative!

Congrats Max on the upgrade! Man what a journey.... I just started watching your vids ever since you flew with Steaveo and I don't think you ever said what your goal is. Airlines? Military, back to Airlines? Or just Biz Jets? Great stuff! Keep them coming!

congrats on the new bird, looking forward to seeing the bermuda trips. that landing looked challenging- merry christmas to you

Congratulations on the new plane! Can’t wait to see the new videos. Will you be doing a walk around video after you take delivery? Also very glad you’re keeping the tail number. Now I don’t have to listen for a new one when I monitor Albany on the rare occasions you stop up here.

citation max, i love your videos. in fact, those videos were a big part of my decision to purchase a 2015 and 2018 sr22t. so thank you for that. i now fly a vision jet g2. based at love in dallas. i have to razz you about the "west coast", Texas reference though. I will let you slide though since your from NY. Best buddy. Fly safe.

Hey Max, Wheels_up here from Twitch..... love all your videos and love watching your twitch streams too. Enjoy the new bird, I can't wait to see it. My brother flies one too.

Max....did you folks look at the Citation CJ4 by chance?

Thank you for sharing your flying adventures; I look forward to following your future adventures in your new Citation - congratulations. Happy Holidays to you and your family. Stay safe. Cheers, Victor

Great News , Congratulations to you and your family .

Love the meaning of Romeo Foxtrot. Thanks for sharing 🐶

Really enjoyed this flight, thanks for sharing...

You've probably explained this in either this or another video, but how can you afford to own, let alone fly, a Citation M2 and/or your new CJ-3?

Nice. Can't wait to check it out! Love following you!

@CitationMax do you consider that the CJ3+ is an improvement on performance but a downgrade on tech???? Would be interested to know you’re n anyone else’s thoughts. Thx 😊 🙏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧 from across the pond in England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿. Maybe u could plan a cross Atlantic flight. Which I think is a huge bucket list item. Especially when u get to the infamous Wick airport in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 which is the touchdown point that completes you’re cross ocean flight n maybe we could see u over here. Remember to look up the differences in our ATC as the services n phrases will be different but if u check up first u will be fine. Great news 👍👍

When are you taking delivery? I'm local and work with Textron daily. Congrats on the new ride, you will enjoy for sure.

Hi Max, isn’t the cj3+ single pilot rated too? Any reasons why you won’t be flying that one single pilot?

Looking forward to the upgrade!

Cool. Can’t wait to see the new aircraft.

Great vid as always. Congrats on the new ride, Max!

I enjoyed the video (as I do all of them). Looking forward to your upcoming flights in the CJ3+ that you can share with us.

You are one great pilot. Wanted to fly, but too expensive. If I could, I would love to be as professional as you and Premier 1 Driver.

Curious what rating is the current Citation? How much faster is the CJ3 Plus compared to this one?

AWESOME vid. TYVM for sharing best of luck on your training and new bird!

your story is a great one max learned about you through graig p1d !

Congratulations on the CJ3+ purchase! Looking forward to future videos in the new jet.

1. Congratulations on the CJ3! 2. I noted the speed requirement too 250kt. Does this plane have autothrittles, or will you have to manually adjust to make his speed requirements? Thanks for the great videos. Love these aircraft!

another new plane? can you send me one of the cast offs? :)

MAX!!! Why not go straight to the CJ4?

You pull the curtain so we won't see him. Your dad is Oz? That's cool!

👍 What a great upgrade :)

Thanks for sharing the flight!

Congrats

Thanks for another awesome video you always make me feel like I am flying with you really appreciate your channel

How do you go about purchasing an aircraft like this? What do you do for your full time job?

Very cool. Known it was coming for awhile based on social media. Is it a big secret who your dad is or something? Always seems vague when you refer to him then you mention the curtains will have to be closed if he’s on board and require two pilots. Interesting... 🤔 we’re all just people... right?

I flew a C500 SN018 for a while and an MU2 .... I enjoy your videos hope to go along for a few trips with you ... Oh and at one flew time the highest time Piper PA31-350 in the world ... Piper wanted to buy it back ... was not y plane !!!! Many happy Landings !!!!
