Be sure to comment below and share this video if you want to see more.

Huge shout out to Vista for allowing in cockpit video. Love it.

Yes please. Requesting more videos of the jet in addition to the great videos of the Baron, and Kim’s instrument training. See what I did there? Thank you again!

Nice to have you back. More please.

5:16 Best exchange ever. "Autopilot is available. Yes sir. Do you want it? Nope." Don't blame you one bit. 😊

Missed you and glad you are back

Awesome, you're on the Challenger... SWEET!!!!

Enjoyed the video. Yes, more videos like this one. Thank you.

I know it’s a lot of work with editing, etc, but I agree with some others here that more content like this would be much appreciated!

Amazing! One of my glider students that started with me when he was 12 yrs old is now right seat in a Challenger 350 for Vista. He completed qualification in March 2024.

Good to see you back Kris

This is great content! Please keep it coming.

So different seeing you in a uniform

Enjoyed the jet video, thanks.

More Videos like this would be awesome and thank you.

Loved the takeoff from Colorado. Beautiful!

Very much enjoyed the video, MMM vor is just a few miles down the street from my home airport, fun to see some familiar terrain on one of your videos. Looked like a sporty landing, but handled like the professional you are. Thanks for sharing!

👍✅ Tks for the video Kristoffer, always interesting!

Vista jet rocks, big shout out appreciate the cockpit vids 👌 Barron you’re the best in the business

Love your videos

Hey Kristopher, great video of you flying the Lear jet. Would definitely love to see more videos of you flying the jet as well as the baron. Also want to see more videos of Kim going for her instrument rating as well as her multi engine's rating so we can see her eventually flying the baron. Cheers.

Thanks Vista for allowing the content great video, great CRM

Great video!! I’m interested in the corporate side of aviation and would love to see more

Kris nice to have u back .. good luck in the new job ..the uniform threw for a bit ..used to you in a ball cap lol ..Always love the jet videos …but You and Kim in the Baron still rocks ..Are u not doing the golf job anymore ??Loved the video when you flew to the Ryder cup here in Wisconsin ..

More of this type of content, very nice machine indeed!

The Challenger looks good in action😎😎 can’t wait to fly with ya!!

Great video

show us more !!! I love it !!

Pretty cool. I’ve been watching your videos for a while now. First time I saw you fly a jet on here was the Learjet. I noticed you now fly for VistaJet. I do too, I’m on the Citation X. Hopefully we run into each other out there somewhere. Keep up the good work!

That runway comes up fast, I liked this video.

Great to see you back in the jet. Live the content from the lesser known and more scenic airports! How long before you have Kim in the right seat of the 300?

Glad to see you moved up in the world to a better aircraft!

Hello Christopher, remember me from Bravo 7, great flight, grease Landing 😊

That was sporty. Nice

Great to see you back Kristopher. You're a very busy guy! Always a pleasure watching your videos. Looked like you had your hands full with that approach...could they make it any more fun? Got to see "PIC" at Sun& Fun It really made my Day! no foolin'...It was a thrill to see her and congratulate her in person! I'm Sorry I didn't get to see you as well. Stay safe and will be looking for your next video. Thanks again. Moose

Funny, I opened this video while doing something else. When I started paying attention there was no audio for a couple minutes. When I looked closer I saw that gold chain on your wrist, and thought "I know that chain from someplace", then your voice came on, and I knew for sure who it was!! The Baron grew up and sprouted jet engines!! LOL You look so different w/o sunglasses and a ball cap!! LOL It looks like life is treating you well!!. 8) Ever hear from Greg Mink? I had a couple health issues, but some great Doc's have me up and at it again pretty quick!! Great to see you again Chris!! Till later, take care... --gary

Glad to dead head with you yet again!

Aerial Survey pilot here operating part 91 and I can firmly say there is something rewarding going to different cities every time. Fell out of love with the airline route right before I graduated and looking towards a future with a 135 charter operation.

I thought you may have bailed on us, glad you pulled the cord in time. 🛩🛩🛩

Flying up for the Vista interview tomorrow. Thanks for all the help Kris! Will let you know how goes!

Well , well! At least Mr. B.P. Long time no see (in your videos 'cause I(we) saw you on Kim's first Captain sortie with her instructor.) Well, you're probably been busy doing pilot things and filming, editing, and producing these videos it's surely time-consuming. And like people usually say, " better later than never." Anyway, I wish you and madam good winds and happy landings from Portugal 🇵🇹

GR8 vid Kris! Are you still doing PGA golf sound work too??? Definitely more vids please!!! Been missing the Baron flying too!!!~Chris

Kristoffer, friend of Eric and Valerie here-we met at SNF two years ago. Great video of 135 life! My little comment; don’t fly with a bracelet or watch, on your right wrist. You never know when it could snag important controls!

So I fly with two other guys for a part 91 operator who owns two Lear 45s. We don't really have a set schedule, we just up and leave whenever the owners want to go somewhere. Usually the maximum time we're gone is 4 days, which honestly doesn't happen that often. Most of the time it's 3 days, or even just an overnight. There's also a lot of day trips in there. I'm a younger guy, late 20s. My chief pilot and the other guy are both in their mid 50s, so there's definitely an experience gap. We only do around 500 hours a year total. Sounds great, right? Well, I thought so too when I first started flying there. That's how they sold it to me : "Oh, you'll be home a lot!" And that is true to an extent. What they don't tell you is that it's impossible to make any kind of plans because our owners can call us the day before wanting to go to Broken Dick, Arkansas and we have to go. Doesn't happen that way all the time, but it happens enough to keep you on your toes. Plus we do a LOT of weekend flying. Our busy days are pretty much Thursday to Monday. Which basically means you can have a random Tuesday off, but when normal people want to do stuff with you on the weekend, you'll be unavailable. It doesn't bother my coworkers, they're both pretty seasoned pilots with families of their own, both married for a pretty long time, established in their own lives and whatnot. On their days off they pretty much just stay at home and do Dad things like mow the lawn, play with their RC car collection, or work on their backhoe in their shed. So they can literally be ready at a moment's notice because they don't do anything anyway LOL. But I'm gonna be honest, it's a little difficult for me because I can't really do much on my days off, because you're not really 100% sure you're gonna have that day off until the evening before. Anyway, what I'm getting at with this long rant is that I wouldn't mind the whole 4 days on, 3 days off thing of the 121 world because then at least I'd know for sure those days would be mine. No last minute trips to Palm Beach or St. Simon's that upend whatever you had planned. The whole 2 weeks on, 2 weeks off does not appeal to me also because I don't think a certain person I've been seeing would appreciate it lol. Doesn't matter as much when you've been married for 25 years, but when you're just starting out, it can put some strain on the relationship.

You have a new subscriber 👌👌

I flew for 25yrs out of VGT leaving in 2020 when I retired. The glider club is at Jean NV, 0L7, 20 miles south of LAS.

I’m a former 135 Charter Jet pilot and currently flying Airbuses for a 121 operator. In my opinion, the flying was way more fun at the 135. However the schedule was terrible. 8-14 days on the road with 2-5 legs a day really took a toll. Now I’m only out 4 days at the most. Works much better for me and my family, but to each their own.

Chris is finally back you have the best job in the world.How many hours do you need to get into the copilots seat?

Alpha Delta Kilo - I don't know. Also. That was a nice IFR (I Follow the Road) approach.

ah, nice flight from GUC to LVS ;-)

great jet

Not that there's anything wrong with the Lear 60, but that's a hell of a nice upgrade.

How do you like the Challenger 350 ? I like the fact that the OCP is displayed on the pedestal!

Wish I had your job I would love to be able to fly a biz jet then I could meet some really cool people thanks for the video

Was thinking about you during the Masters, you still working golf tournaments?

Are you still doing the golf thing? You did a video where you flew to Wisconsin and was running controls in electronics trailer

Lotta RJ vibes going on on there love it

Yes! More videos like this.

Gotta ask. Which is easier to land the lear or challenger?

12 x 2 week vacations - hhmm, that's quite a selling point.. You got my attention..

Got any videos of you coming into CDA ID airport?

Are you doing this full time now? I know you said that you use to be in professional sports production.

Yes, Khrisdoffer on wanting to see more. On the outro on this one was that Kim in the background? 😊

Wondering why the copilot didnt read back the hold short instructions correctly. He only said hold short. When he should have said "hold short of 30R". Cutting out the runway in a hold short can lead to bad habits. Also, the controller did not catch it either. Great video as always

Nice Ride BP... ';-)

How long did it take you to get a hanger at St Augustine? I've been on the list for over 3 years now and they told me I was 150 on the list earlier this year. The repair facilities say you have to know someone to get a hanger there. Thoughts?

This morning (Friday April 19th) we landed at MIA on 8R from JAX in an A319 Airbus and as I we pulled off the runway, I heard someone cleared for takeoff, then saw an identical jet to the one you fly lift off and climb away. Might that have been YOUR flight, per chance?

@BaronPilot can the challenger take off at Destin Executive with 6 passenger plus the pilots?

Did you sell your Baron?

Just curious, any chance you've flown into DeLand (KDED) this year? I'm a lineman there. And pilot, currently working on my instrument rating. You look so familiar!

Have you been to Jamaica?

When you go to Blue Mesa, did you happen to look down and see the Blue Mesa International Runway? Back in the late 70's and most of the 80's, I flew my T210 in there for deer and elk season staying in the cabin in Lake City. Also went in Blue Mesa a few times in the 690 Commander. The lake a few miles out of Gunnison is long and deep...also called Blue Mesa Res.

Do you like flying the Challenger or the Lear more?

Did "Lost Wages" ATC think you were flying a Cessna 150??

vista one of the best charter
