New England Swing 8: Mt Washington, New Hampshire

[@fredsillner4342]

There’s a group of mini copper owners that travel to Mt Washington every year in June. That Saturday afternoon they shut the mountain road down to traffic and close to 200 mini’s drive up to the top, visit the store, hot coffee or chocolate souvenirs and then slowly make are way back down. Most of the years you can’t even get out on the observation deck because of all the snow and stormy weather and this is in June! Also not sure if you read and looked in weather room in the observatory but atop Mt Washington recorded the the largest winds in excess of 170 mph!! Awesome video!! It’s been fun

[@fredsillner4342]

watching your videos of all the places I’ve traveled and vacationed at. Welcome to the Northeast!

[@wingandaprayeradventures6758]

My wife Tammy and I took the Cog Train up to Pike's Peak several years ago on our bike trip to Colorado. What a cool way to see the mountains and lakes no-one else gets to see. Someone asked the conductor as we were in a 30% uphill grade at 12000 ft. "What happens if the brakes fail?" She replied that there were two large springs that would stop the train! "COLORADO SPRINGS AND MANETOU SPRINGS"!! Lol. Glad you kids are enjoying life together.....God Bless!

[@jeewiz2103]

So, I've been watching and subscribed for some time and I must say one of the best series I have watched. On any channel. Thank you both.

[@billnicholson2470]

Very nice adventure as always. You two make such a great couple. Great for you to be able to go to the places that we may not be able but you take us there with your thoughtfulness. Always fun to ride along with yall.

[@fishingmedic1]

So this is an awesome trip you two. I always chuckle at Jamie during take off and landings between her facial expressions and the grip she has on the door handle 😆

[@vindoll6237]

She gets a little anxious, it’s all good!

[@JMOUC265]

As you spiraled for the approach to landing, I couldn't help but think of The Great One, "A little travelling [circling] music, Sammy! And, away we go!" :-)

[@robertthrailkill1368]

Very good post. You guys are a great team and make IFR in a twin look easy. Well done.

[@chriskayakq-ster7264]

Climbed Mt. Washington in winter holiday break while in an explorers post from Bel Air Maryland. We looked more like an Everest testing Expedition with our gear ice axes, hammers, crampons, gators on boots, wool and down apparel and sleeping bags rated to -30 or more lol. Eventually we all grew older and it took on a hole new meaning in life! Playing in the White Mts in winter ski ing, ice climbing, etc... then summer with trips to the cascades all around Mt. Washington areas. Love seeing you two in this place!

[@nigelroberson8911]

25 years ago on a visit to USA I flew a PA28 out of Mt Washington at dusk. Loved it. Next day did the cog railway. Your video brought back happy memories.

[@suzannelebizarre5705]

Love your videos...haven't been in NH since 1953 (loved it!)...back in my military days...went with a friend on a weekend trip...was in service school then...

Go Bucks!! But we are fond of Georgia for providing us with a great QB and the Colts with a good kicker

[@dougfarster2172]

[@johnnyrocco]

You guys just make a damn good flying team, one on the radios, the other, hands on the yoke doing the flying. Sky King is looking down watching you and smiling. Thanks for shaving your amazing life with us.

[@pdxwill8524]

So team work do make the dream work! Appreciate the tight CRM you two have. Don't hurt having two experienced ATC's on the flight deck. Have really enjoyed following this trip with you.

[@williamralph5442]

Mt Washington is a must see. Glad you took the COG Railway.....Thanks Kevin and Jamie.

[@alsriv2]

Grew up in Maine, vacationed in the White mountains. When my wife and I lived in Maryland, we traveled a couple of times a year up to Kittery/York and drove to North Conway for a nice relaxing vacation. Now we are living in Arizona and sure do miss the ability to travel up there regularly. Thank you for sharing your trip. I bring s lots of smiles and memories.

[@jpgcomposer]

I used to work at the Mt. Wash Hotel in the late 80s. Gorgeous spot. Fun to see in your video.

[@duboisdl]

Hope you guys had a good ride up to the "Rock Pile". On a clear day the view up there is AMAZING. Hiked up there one Labor Day weekend, temps were 60 deg F at the base, by the time we got to the summit, it was snowing with 60 mph winds!!

[@petercraw8188]

I took the cog on a hot summer day with my son. He wondered why I was bringing winter gear. He found out real fast. Freezing up there.

[@BamaContractor]

You guys just keep adding new destinations to my bucket list. Thanks! Keep’em coming

Those break outs never get old! Awesome trip you guys are on.

[@AEROSTARCAPT]

Have enjoyed your New England tour immensely. After almost 6,000 hours and 47 years of flying at the age of 80, my Aerostar is for sale. Insurance is no longer available cat an affordable price. You guys are a great crew, I’ve enjoyed revisiting with both of you.

[@stevemarethyu3003]

I grew up in Maine and lived in Chicago surburbs for 20 years, before recently moving back. This has been a really fun series to watch!

[@vittoesmith1]

Glad to see you made it to the top of Mt. Washington. Have been up the Cog Railway, and have also driven up the access road. Wish you could have made it to Vermont. Much like New Hampshire. The lovely lady looked very nice in the dress. Good luck and God Bless.

[@Steve-xf4uv]

Mount Washington Hotel is a classic. I loved it, sure you did too. The cog railway is fun ; I took the steam train departure bcz I love trains. But it's cold up there, hope they warned you. Great trip, looking forward to the next.

[@joro18d93]

I love all the places y'all go. You 2 are great travel agents and give free marketing/advertisement for you stay locations. I hope ya'll stop in Lebanon Tn (M54) sometime. God Bless.

"don't be premature, babe"! Jeez, that's a gut punch!

Great! Loved it! Thanks for not putting garbage music on the track. Hope to fly there someday.

[@davidstebenne5315]

Great New England trip Kevin and Jamie! My NH home is about 40 minutes from Mt Wash Hotel. Yep, my wife hiked to the top while I dutifully drove the vehicle with a small cooler of beer for the apres celebration.

[@craigjones1939]

That circus music during your spiral descent ...cracked ...me ...up!! 😂🤣🤣 Love your channel!!!!

[@karlfair]

Nice episode, guys. It's always fun to watch the chemistry between you two.

[@johnwyoder]

Aren't they the sweetest couple? Really adds a lot to the videos.

[@earlandersonarchitects2153]

Super fun trip guys! Always enjoyable to fly along with 310!

[@Rapid454ss]

As a native New Hampshire-ite I’m so thrilled that you came this way. Never miss your videos. Not sure what time of year you where here but looks like you had great weather. Hope you enjoy your New England visit and please come back! Wonderful part of the country!

[@showbizvet]

Love the flying AND the relationship the two of you have, I'm envious.

[@Wolfmots]

Just up the road from us, great area. If you ever come back you could also drive the Kankamangus which is a long scenic drive through the mountains and valleys around Mt Washington and really a ton of fun. We often ride it in groups on our Harleys and stop at various restaurants and vistas along the way. Thanks for yet another great video production.

[@cappy9867]

That was some real pilot "stuff" on that approach into Mt Washington...Jaime cracks me up...loved the carnival music on the spiral to a landing....another enjoyable ride...thanks!!

Sometimes that road less traveled makes you work harder. Glad you got to your destination! I’ve never been to the place in VT you referenced but it is a beautiful state...keep it on your list!

I would love to be up there for (and survive) one of those wicked blizzards with 100+ mph winds.

[@Aussie_Pilot]

Thanks for the IFR departure. My wife and I live about an hour’s drive from the Mt Washington Hotel. Have had 1 or 2 drinks on that balcony. If you come back, drive up the Mt Washington Road. Super fun...

[@newenglandphotography9340]

Next time you take a trip to (Tax free) New Hampshire, Go over to North Conway for the night. They have a Ben&Jerry's that is conveniently located next to the Conway Scenic Railroad. About a mile south of the CSRR is the Muddy Moose. A great place to eat. Go early. The line out front starts around 5pm.

[@scottisbell7635]

Was stationed in Maine when I was in the military, Bar Harbor is mazing...100 percent want to go back some day

[@DHKEYWEST1]

I been told you can see Bar Harbor from Mt. Washington on a real clear day that is 50 miles what I recall. I think I would do the cog and not deal with the hairy drive next time. Yeah my fishing friend went up the road about 40 years ago and when he got where there were no more trees, it scared him so bad, he turned around and went down. I still have a little stuffed moose from there. 231 miles per hour, recorded April 12, 1934 by Observatory staff.

[@tonyalsleben2853]

love the circus music on the "spiral approach" lol .... gotta love jamie's facial expressions on approach/landings... Nice crabbing there Kevin!!

Mt. Washington, another beautiful trip down memory lane. We stayed at that big hotel also but weather was such the cog-trains weren't running. Love your videos and the chatter between you guys. Reminds me of us some years back, except no IFR with our little puddle jumper. :)

Banger traffic, she’s got the accent down! That was good weather for Mt. Washington

[@bwinmaine]

Have lived in the Bangor area all my life and I can't think of a single person who says Banger. Nope, sorry... Bangah would be the downeast accent way. Banger identifies you as being "from away". Bangor with a good strong "o" is how we all say it. Just sayin'

[@davidsteinberg3663]

Cool trip. Spotted the Civil Air Patrol Cessna parked on the ramp. Nice! 👍🏻✈️🇺🇸

I live in Mass, I've been to the top of Mt Washington on my motorcycle many times every summer, over flew the top on a C172 once. I will never get tired admiring how beautiful nature is up there.

[@SmittySmithsonite]

Yeah, the good ol' days! Sad the green movement is killing living history up there. I should've hopped on when I had the chance back in '97. I was a little short on dough at the time. Used to get goosebumps hearing that thing chuff up the mountain. Just about all of New England has been overrun by that militant green mindset for years. Everything fun is gone or illegal. I grew up riding dirt bikes and ATVs right out my backyard. All gone. What times we live in ... :(

My wife and I hiked the Presidential Range, including Mt. Washington, in 1985. It was awesome! I’ve wanted to stay at that hotel, easily visible from the AT which goes through the Presidential Range.

[@kdharley07]

I know this was about 6 months ago you were here but if you ever come back to the area you have to go to Glenn Ellis Falls just outside of North Conway. We go there every year and once you get to the bottom and see the falls it’s an awesome sight and great for pictures. We do the Kancamagus on our bike and stop at every water hole to take pictures. You have the best with the plane so please keep it up as we love to follow you to all the great sights you bring us to with you.
