Tough Decisions when Flying Airplanes! 

Hello fellow Steveo fan: every Vlog he posts is like a present to us. Now he is putting a VIRB for us on top of it. I want to invite you to join me and many others that already support Steveo on Patreon. It is the least you can do. The next thing is to invite others to see his videos and smash even more Like Buttons. What are you waiting for? Go, please, and thank you!!

Also, love the close up shots of the panel. Stick with those!

I stopped asking “what if” 22 years ago. I truly would like the camera to document the progress of my teenage sons. All 3 are exceptional in their own right. One pursuing trades like me, the other two ; the military. Officer material both. It’s great to witness them all becoming men and it’d be great to document it in pictures and film. Thanks SteveO

As a new private pilot that is currently working on my instrument rating, your videos are so helpful and educational. No matter how rudimentary your flight may seem to a seasoned pilot like yourself, I always learn from watching you fly. I've often wondered how to deal with a situation such as this, with weather moving in quickly and blocking published missed, I now know how to communicate with ATC to get a safe alternate. As a new pilot at 41 years of age, who is mostly flying my family to and from, I wanted to say thanks for continuing the educational and entertaining videos. I know a lot of work goes into this so thank you! If I were to win the Garmin VIRB360 I would use it to debrief with my instructor to become a better and safer pilot. Knowing that I have the lives of my loved ones on board pushes me to be the best I can be as a pilot. As a long boarder, I hope that Boosted Boards will sponsor you in the future because that is one thing I would love to have to get around the airport and be able to keep up with my 11 year old, which has a ton more energy than I do! Please keep the videos coming Steveo and congratulations on all the success!

I’m about to start flying for my PPL and I think there is nothing better than recording these flights to be as a memory of my flights and to show it to my family and friends.

Amazing situational awareness and staying ahead of the curve. You're a good pilot Stevo O. Kinevo.

To prove you can teach an old dog new tricks, your videos have encouraged me to continue my professional training. It's never too late !

It’s always great seeing Reggie back in the cockpit. Great job Steveo!!!

As a CFII, I would use the Garmin camera as a teaching tool to provide students with the capability to critically analyze our training flights. The ability to record cockpit instrumentation, audio communications and view the exterior environment in an "off-line" mode would be very valuable for their flight training.

Excellent video. I love when Steveo describes the reasons for why he is doing what he is doing, and how is always planning for contingencies. Great job Steveo.

Hey, Steve! I am an aspiring pilot living in Brazil due to start flight lessons early 2019. I will be 470 miles away from my family and friends throughout the course and that camera would really help me record my experience and make me feel closer to them by sharing the footage. My little brother shares my passion for aviation and it would also help me inspire him even more. Thank you for your great content!

Nice to have Reggie with us today. Although Reggie was cool and calm outrunning the storm I had white knuckles. :-)

You are the Man! Who knows how to Fly above and over and not to mention your experience shows with upmost safety while flying. Kudos to u Stevio!!

What a flight Steveo! I'm starting my IFR training, so thank you for sharing this! Good knowledge to have to think of weather and the missed approach procedure. I even felt that jolt you got entering the cloud though the screen!

Every video puts me back into the cockpit.

That was a little intense. Well done!

Ny neighbor flys for AA, he flew an A320 down to Orlando Fl from Charlotte NC, he said he had tankered fuel for the return trip but wound up burning ALL of it just trying to get into Orlando. 3 1/2 hours of fuel for a 1 1/2 hour trip... He said he was worn slap out picking his way around all those storms, great job Steveo :-)

Big Reg!!! Always shows up in his Sunday’s best and a fresh shape up. Best dressed guy of the friendly skies!!

I’m a student pilot. Your videos have inspired me to begin my training. My intention is to spread the word how awesome aviation can be. A 360 camera on the belly of the plane I fly would be an awesome tool to get those on the fence about beginning their training.

Unbelievable! Reggie didn't fall asleep. 😂🤣😂🤣

Having a camera to grow my love for Avaition and sharing it with the world much like most pilots on RU-vid we learn from watching our mistakes and show what good and bad situations are

Steveo I just completed my first solo yesterday! Always excited to see your uploads in my notifications. A 360 Camera would be very fun to have for my skydiving adventures.

That flight brings back memories of a flight early in my flying career where while on final a storm was moving on field with lighting and rain about 5 miles out and moving in. Best feeling in the world to be on the ground prior to it hitting he field.

As a 14 year old student pilot, I only have lessons about once a month, it would be nice to have a camera so I wouldn’t forget things in between lessons.

Just recently separated from the Navy after 12 years. Started as ATC then went on to do another job. The bug of aviation never left have dreamed about having private pilot license. That is finally going to come to a reality and I am pushing to work up commercial I would love to have the camera as a way to record my training and experience to share with others. Thank you and keep up the good work. Fly Safe.

Thanks for the ride along, as always, well done Steve ;-)

Flying into a wall of rain that is right off the end of the runway speaks volumes on how great you are at your profession and how cool and calm you can stay. The methodical nature that you radiate is incredible.

Wow, you snuck in there with almost nothing to spare,.. in '97 I did one of those and ran into a downshear that gave us quite a bump! And was like bringing down a bucking bull, but eerily enough the last 40' to the ground was still and smooth (actually a steady crosswind, but compared to the edge of the storm was smooth!) And going to admit getting caught in a sucker hole that closed in my route before as well..nothing quite is like the experience being in red cells with water that is like being under the waves in the ocean, and buffeting around until your teeth feel like they are being loosened..and nothing feels as good as getting through that and coming out into some relatively decent weather after! Oh and I would LOVE to have the Garmin 360, and the images from those is outstanding! And I feel their aviation equipment and camera lines are the top notch of what is available, but even the sunglasses would be great too!

As a young passionate pilot i want to share my experience with the wider community..show them what it is like to be a pilot ,the type of training we go through and other encounters ..with this camera it would help alot with quality and most of all taking the audience to the skies

Steve - outstanding video!! As a new IFR pilot, it was super educational. The two best points were your thinking on the alternate and working the decision making process for it and the second was moving the missed approach. Just my thoughts but the regional plane was not even thinking about the missed approach, great thinking ahead.

I would use the Garmin virb in my own flying videos. I am a very young pilot, 18 years old, and I think being able to use the Garmin virb to replay my flight and learn from mistakes I make and as to share my flights with my friends and family would be a fun thing for me to get to do. Thank you Steveo for all you do!

Hey Steveo, you are a huge inspiration to many people out there to get into aviation. As a student and (hopefully) future commercial pilot myself, I have learned a lot about the life of a professional pilot from your vlogs. I'm starting at a great aviation school this fall (UND), and would love to have the Garmin VIRB camera to record some of my adventures over the next four years and after. I'm sure a lot of people want that camera, and I don't have any particularly 'inspiring' tales about why I would deserve it or should win. I just want to be able to share my flights with my friends, family, and other aspiring pilots. I have my PPL check ride the day after next, so winning this camera would be a great way to start off my lifetime career in aviation! Keep up the great videos!

I’ve recently got back into flying after an extended period of being away. I’ve found you videos to be very motivating to get back into it. I used to fly the TBM-700 about 13 years ago. So it’s great to remember those times. I would love the Garmin Camera to be able to document my return to the sky’s.

I saw the "if you see this . . ." but I already hit the like button before I watched the video. We NEVER not like a steveo1kinevo production! !! !!!

Fantastic demonstration of professionalism. Well done Steveo

Thunderstruck! \o/

Top quality video production Steveo. I lost my dad 30 years ago when he made some bad decisions when flying into weather. We shared the same plane, so I didn't fly for quite awhile with the total loss of my dad and the plane. After watching many of your videos, I'm motivated to start flying again and get to work on my instrument rating. I would use that Garmin 360 video camera to help in documenting my progress. Keep up the good work you're doing and helping so many of us out here.

Right down to the wire on that storm! Nice work! Great vid as usual, and loved the tunes on this one, too. 👍🤘

You're braver than me. I would have diverted to JAX and then decompressed with many beers to calm down. Nice job flying that approach, keeping calm (and realistic about your options and not forcing any situation) and staying on top of ATC. This video would make any flight instructor proud.

I live in Albany, it’s really cool to see you fly into our airport. I loved the drone footage at the end. Did y’all eat at Austin’s where you ended the video?

I would definitely film my student progression as a new solo student pilot upwards of reaching my commercial and have the difference to show on how experience as a pilot changes over time.

Reggie’s got his cool socks on!

Love Reggie's contribution to the start up procedure at 1:50! Steveo: Air Vent is open....you've been a huge help Reggie!

I just experienced the “get-there-itis” for the first time trying to fly down to Florida. You did a great job in the decision making process. I’d like to enter into win the Garmin because I am going to start filming my flights in an effort to bring more aviation content to RU-vid. With me being in the northeast US I think I could bring some excellent awareness to what it is like making decisions with weather since weather varies so drastically in the northeast. All the best and looking forward to the next VLOG!

Great job staying ahead of the airplane and establishing an alternate missed approach.

Im only smashing the like button cause "I SAW THIS!!!" LOL

I would love to used the camera for all kinds of training purpose while flying. Having a camera recording you while flying it’s a great way to have post-flight debrief of yourself and how you can improved better as a pilot!

Fun seeing you at Oshkosh bro. I have put your playlist on all day on the common office big screens today. BOOM!

Mr. Kinevo - excellent! Speaking your thought process while flying and navigating a sophisticated aircraft in challenging weather is super engaging and informative.

Wow! I seriously love watching your videos and seeing all the different adventures you have taken! Your adventures & flights are truly an inspiration to seek out new experiences! After watching some of your videos, my family and I got inspired to create our own channel full of our adventures! Soon we will be adding some flying videos! Believe it or not, it is a goal of ours to get our pilots license in the near future! It would be so amazing if we could see and experience what you have done! We ar3 so incredibly excited and anxious to start on this goal! Winning that garmen camera would be a bonus and help us film our adventures, just like you! 🛩📸📽 Adventure on!! #SaltLife

Years ago, I landed at KABY on my day cross country with my instructor. I was taxiing along all over the place headed to the FBO. My old school instructor said, "You reckon why somebody got out there in the hot sun and painted a yellow line on the pavement?" Ole' Buck Williams had a way of getring his point across.

Did that Cessna on short final go around? Feels like the tower should’ve had you wait till he was down

Decisions decisions....nicely done with minimal pucker. Great drone shots at the end too! Good to see Reggie back.

Hi Steveo! I would like to have this device to capture my flying moments in my country India.itbis a fabulous country which is very picturesque and unwound like to capfure it and sgare it with the world. Regards Akash

Steveo, you are a big inspiration to people like me, who realized after watching your channel that it's never too late to get into aviation for a career! I'm currently working on my PPL and started to do some aviation videos. I would love the 360 garmin cam to document some of my training and share it with the aviation community and help people realize even if you are in your 30s you can still do it!

Who doesn’t like a good jolt every now and then. Keeps you on your toes.

Great flight Steveo! As you said, no decision can be taken lightly especially in the challenging conditions you faced. I really enjoyed when you pointed out that the published missed approach procedure would not be a safe option.

Great job staying ahead of both the weather and the aircraft!

Love the video. Love it when you take off in cloudy rainy cloudy weather. Shortly after take off your in clear blue skies.

I like the G1000 and overall layout of the caravan. The TBM seems tight and cluttered. I do love the TBM exterior.

Man you have inspired many folks to chase that dream. Thanks for giving us a view inside of a professional pilot life and how to show others the same through professionally edited videos. I sure would love to have a garmin 360 camera to put in my Cessna 182 when I find the perfect plane to purchase.

Im working on my instrument rating and it never occurred to me that the published miss might not be advisable. Thanks for the tip to ask ATC for an alternate, that was brilliant Steveo. I appreciate the quality of you videos. There’s always something to learn or enjoy seeing.

Mad respect Steveo...thanks for the ride!

Love flying the not so friendly skies with you Stevo1kinevo!

I'm truly enjoying your videos. I've never had a license, but have work around aircraft most of my life, with Boeing and other aircraft services. Keep up the good work.

Good call on thinking ahead about the missed approach!

I would like the Garmin 360 so that I can share with others the wonderful world of aviation like you have!

Always so informative and entertaining. I get excited seeing the notification. As for the camera, my father is a professional freelance videographer, who has almost every style camera you can imagine for anything. The 360 cam is the only one he does not have and I think it'd make a great addition for him. It'd be a gift from you to me to him. Keep up the great work and stay safe up there. Cheers

As you requested Steveo! I'm about to finish my CPL and want to start filming more of my flights! In all the years that I have been flying, I've never taken my kids up and this would help capture that moment! Keep the videos coming and also the IG stories!

Jacksonville ATC seems so helpful and professional.

I have thoroughly enjoyed your videos. I have taken a flight lesson and have been bitten by the bug! Absolutely love it. Thanks for putting these videos up and available for us.

I use to shoot video with the old shoulder mount Betacam and I am amazed with the quality of the Go Pro product line. If we only had the compact with quality cameras 25 years ago I would have been in hog heaven. Most of my flying was high performance cross country gliding and low and slow Avid Flyer. I can only imagine the possibility in video production with a 360* camera.

I love watching Steveo’s videos because it keeps you up to date on topics in the flying world. I would like an additional camera to enhance learning and to better my flying skills by catching things that you don’t capture in the moment while flying. Especially while flying IFR. Keep up the great videos, they are very informational as well as inspirational.

Another great video Steveo! Thanks for the ride-a-long! Keepin' it interesting. I would love the Virb because I could use it at DragWeek next month. I would mount it in a 1955 Chevy and get some awesome in-car footage of drag racing, driving 250 miles, breaking down, and repeating that 4 times.... all in one week. Appreciate the gifts for your watchers. Can't wait for the next vid. Tailwinds!

Great safety/risk evaluation and situational awareness. Well done.

Just flew out of MIA today. It’s busy for 2 of us let alone being single pilot. Nice job!

I thought Snoop Dog was most chilled out man on the planet, and then I met Reggie, what a legend he is. He was as cool as ice in the face of what could have been a squeaky bum situation. As usual, Steveo, you produced an excellent and most riveting video. Thumbs up. 👍

I love watching your videos! I am a medical crew on fixed wing medevac. Have a life-long passion for aviation. Would love a camera like that to help make more training videos. Please keep making the videos that you do. You make the challenging career of aviation seem like such a thrill!!

Learn something new every time I watch your videos

Man, that VIRB would be great for filming in the Falcon as we chase the boat around. I would love the additional angle and the great GS and HDG info it gives.

Hey Steveo! A a 35 year old man who just recently found my love of aviation, I really enjoy your flight vlogs. I have been recording my flights now since my first solo flight and would love to have a top quality camera like the garmin to help better document my flights and trips. Thanks again and keep up the good work.

Reggie picked the right prize and what is his position ? You did a good job getting through that storm, you have the luck of the Irish !

Well I don’t make you tube videos but I make them for my father who lives on Vancouver island (I’m in Ontario) so he can watch his grand kids grow up. Love the videos.

I'm a student pilot, my checkride is this coming Monday actually, and I'd love the camera to help me document the adventure. The paper logbook is great for counting the hours, but with the camera I could really remember them. Great vid steveo!

Great video as always. Reminding pilots and pax that it is not always just a simple takeoff and get there.....you need to be flexible and safe. Did remind me of your 2016 flight. That camera would be a great start to sharing my love of flying with others and getting them exited (hopefully) to want to fly themselves. Great to see you again at AirVenture. Stay safe and keep sharing the wonderful world of aviation.

Excellent IFR advice with regard to wx and your risk factor assessment prior to further continuance to ABY. Your hours of PIC illustrate your professionalism as a pilot along with great educational input for all to learn. Thanks for posting as your vid's rank in the top 1% with me.

I would use the VIRB360 to film the flights I go on so I can show others how cool it is to fly!

I would love to have that camera. I’m just starting to make videos as a flight instructor, fire detection pilot, and helicopter flight paramedic. The Garmin would help take the videos to the next level!

Having the camera mounted in the plane would provide great feedback for my IFR training. BTW, watching your single-pilot Ifr vlogs are a cool way to get comfortable getting clearances and the other radio work.

Steveo! Thank you for the time and detail you put in your videos!! I would use this Garmin 360 to tape my son’s first GA flight in a real Cessna O2-A in September for his birthday!

You earned the thumbs up with that little sneaky on the wing. Love your videos, definitely needed the post today. Thank you for the gift, and opportunity to escape into your world for a little while.

Great video nice flying! When it comes to a storm , playing it safe is only decision to have.

Stevo! You should take someone flying with you as a contest. Like how you give away your Bose headsets. It would be amazing for your fans and give some of your fans who aren’t pilots a first hand experience on what it takes to fly.

Always an adventure with Steveo!! As a viewer, I always learn something from your vids.

Great video. Reggie looked nervous! Your timing was perfect. Nice to see you had an alternative missed approach procedure all ready to go if needed.

A lot to deal with on that flight! I just passed my ppl in the uk and while I will not be flying in those conditions it’s great to see how you manage your work load. Keep making these great vlogs.

Music at the end was kick ass!! Great video AGAIN!

Great video, had a weather decision a week ago and remember what you said from this video. My flight instructor and I changed our plans and avoided some severe thunderstorms and wind sheer while prepping for my first solo. I would use a camera to debrief my solo flights with my instructor to accelerate my training towards my PPL.

After I'm finished healing from surgery I'll be pursuing a professional pilot career! Thank you for the amazing videos giving me a glimpse of what I have to look forward to! I'd be using the Garmin VIRB360 to capture the beauty of the Pacific NW ocean while scuba diving. It'd also be put to use during my adventure of becoming a pilot and beyond. Long days and pleasant nights on Earth Steveo!

Why id like the Garmin VIRB 360 camera? Cause I’m a fan of all aviation VLOGs, just upgraded from a grumman tiger to an A36tc and would love to have a high quality camera to help record the transition and share that knowledge with others. What I love about the flying community is the overwhelming urge to share with others not only the experience but also the lessons learned, keeping us all safer and sharper pilots.
