Bye Bye Mackinac...Hello Pretty Flight

Mackinac Island, Michigan sure is a fun place to fly/visit. Horses, bikes, restaurants, fudge, hiking, exploring, swimming...complete. This video shows the pretty flight back home from Mackinac along Lake Michigan's upper shore, by the U.P. of Michigan and along Wisconsin's eastern shore.

I was telling my flight instructor about you guys and he said, oh yeah, I have met them before...in the Bahamas.. I was telling him about this couple where the husband is a pilot but the wife does a lot of the rafio traffic. And I said " She's amazing to be that good and not even a pilot." I told him it was a little while before I found out yall are both controllers.. He got a big laugh out of my story... his name is Lance Flynn..flying a 414..

[@alexmikhael5061]

so that is ''why'' it seems that some of the controllers they are talking to ''give them a *hard* time'' eh??? cuz they KNOW THEM AND WORK WITH THEM????????? ;) lol splains a few of the comments in *more* than a couple vids hehhehehe ;)

[@nards656]

The radio professionalism suddenly makes so much more sense.

[@robertwren2289]

WOW, 15 minutes after you put this video up there were 807 views, when I got done watching it, there were over 2,500 views. amazing.

[@bombud1]

Use the pretty girl thumbnail trick. Most of those views lasted about 30 seconds after they realized it was the typical gimmick.

[@kylekane8275]

All for your missus, no one cares about you flying planes, loved the take off and landing at the Bahamas, especially the "bounce" on take off.. Lol

[@Just_Me187]

bombud1 it’s a sad cheap trick to use but fuck it it works

[@nikjim13]

@@bombud1 Yea its a shame, I found this guy when i started being genuinely interested in planes and was sad to see its just another page trying to increase traffic and ultimately revenue.

[@Chris_In_Texas]

8:57 Kevin, if you adjust your engine RPMs just a bit you might be able to get them to appear that they are still on video. Just pick a multiple of your FPS rates that your using on your cam. Once you get there they will appear to stop. Its a cool trick to see how sync'd your props are as well as they should both be stopped at the same time. (Just fun for passing a little time while x-country flying!!) Great job on the videos.

[@chooch1995]

Now you know why they’re named the ‘Great Lakes’!!!!

[@jaxcasamento3683]

Keep up the good work! I LOVE your channel! I was here from the start!!!

[@kelvinleigh]

How about a video dedicated to pre-flight checks, run-up and whatever routine maintenance you do after your flights?

[@billroberts4910]

I hope those kids appreciate the opportunity as much as I did as a kid flying with my dad. Wonderful experiences.

[@faithlifeworshipcenter460]

Having grown up in Michigan and having lived in the South for the past 16 years, I miss skies that are as clear and blue as the one in this video.

[@ronniegreen3513]

Where in the South do you live that never has clear skies?

[@faithlifeworshipcenter460]

@@ronniegreen3513 I lived in Alabama for 8 years, and now have lived in Florida for almost 9 years. It's not that the skies aren't clear, it's that they are rarely dry and blue like they are in this video. A lot of haze in the south, compared to the northern states. I had a friend who learned how to fly in Colorado and Utah. It wasn't uncommon for him to have visibility well over 100 miles in that dry mountain air. It's uncommon to have visibility over 20 miles for much of the year down here.

[@rabh6746]

What a stunning flight, you guys really are living the dream, loved every minute of this amazing video :)

[@HoosierPilot]

Man I love your videos. You’ve made me spend several hours on trade a plane day dream about owning a 310. I have real plane envy. For now all my videos will be in a 152 😂

[@Parr4theCourse]

You fly what you fly, a 152 is a great plane!

[@HoosierPilot]

Parr 4 the Course for sure. It may not be fast or pretty, but it’s efficient and easier on the wallet to rent.

[@310Pilot]

Glad you're enjoying the channel! I started out in a 152...fun planes for sure. 310's do have some good value vs other planes in the same load hauling/speed category. If you ever get serious about it, I'd suggest joining the Twin Cessna Flyer. It's the owners group so to speak. They have an awesome message board and help steer new owners in the right directions.

[@Parr4theCourse]

@@HoosierPilot YEP.... AND you're flying, build hours, expand your horizons, check off bucket list destinations!!

[@HoosierPilot]

310 Pilot thanks for the advice, I’ll definitely join the group. I’d love a twin (and so would my wife) but the operating and maintenance costs of a single keep pulling at me.

[@rikspector]

What a great time, so how many "horsepower" is your plane😁 Cheers, Rik Spector

u flew right over my head in manitowoc. awesome.

[@richierich396]

God's country! I envy all who have the privilege of living in this area.

[@mikkimikki5376]

Yaaaaa. As they say.

[@SkyKing58318]

1. When I learned to fly in 1979, my dream plane was a 310. Yours gives me hot flashes; just about the sexiest thing in the sky! A plane as pretty as yours needs a name...SONGBIRD! No, wait, that's already taken...SILVER WINGS! Wait, that's me, well, you get the idea! 2. I've been to the island before, but by ferry. Flying there is on the bucket list. But I fly Archers and Skyhawks; by the time I got there from 3CK, I'd be old enough to collect Social Security. 3. Upper Wisconsin? I thought it was upper Michigan... 4. That's not the original nose, is it? Radar cone? My eyes going bad? Doesn't look like the beak I remember on the other 310's I lust after. 5. If you're looking for a place to fly, I have an idea for you. Three weeks ago, a buddy and I flew out to Mason City, Iowa (KMCW) and checked out the last place Buddy Holly (Peggy Sue, That'll be the Day), the Big Bopper (Chantilly Lace), and Ritchie Valens (Donna, La Bamba) played before they left this world in a Bonanza - the Surf Ballroom. The ballroom has a small rock and roll museum - it's small, but kind of cool because they kept the place like it was in 1959. in the Green Room, you can see all the famous bands and Rock and Roll stars' signatures on the wall. Everything from Molly Hatchet to Santana to ZZ Top (and of course earlier/older stars). Lots of people have performed there. We even visited the crash site, and the FBO - Northern Iowa Flying Service - gave us a crew car ALL DAY and even printed up a map on how to get to the crash site - sounds morbid, but if you're into music, this is history, man! But be forewarned - after about 2 hours there, and another out to the crash site (driving is about 10 minutes, then you walk on uneven ground for about a quarter mile or more in to a corn field where the farmer has kept a path cut for us, you're going to be ready to go back home. There is NOTHING else out there but corn, a lot of John Deere Green and pretty much nothing else (unless you go into Mason City - the Surf Ballroom is actually in Clear Lake - 10 minutes from KMCW). I rent from Blue Skies Flying Services at 3CK, and we took N456ER (a restart Cessna 172) out there. By Skyhawk, it's a 2 hour flight, by 310 at the warp speeds you cruise at, should be about an hour or less...what's it like to see the colors of the earth change because of the Doppler Effect on account of your cruise speeds?

[@boldrbangr9834]

Nice! "kids still awake" 😜 Most beautiful 310 out there; love that color combo

[@davel2223]

Enjoyed so much revisiting my old haunts, I lived the Mi. life for 28 years and lots of memories relived during this flight. Thanks for the visit.

[@mrspock2al]

Thanks for sharing this return trip. We've also enjoyed a stay at the Iroquois hotel. Almost a "Somewhere in Time" location.

[@nikjim13]

It's oddly coincidental all your video thumbnails are pretty similar. Certainly not trying to increase page traffic at all.

[@derekcolbert6951]

Love what y'all do keep it up . And love the new paint looks great. Frome GA.

[@yellowduck8061]

Ahhh, so its new paint. I thought possibly that it was a new aircraft because they now have air traffic radar in the plane. I'm new to the channel, and on their trip to N. Carolina he had mentioned he wished he had traffic radar. So I guess he now has it installed. Cool.

Gotta say... you guys are the best! I’ve been flying along with y’all for the past 9 months and enjoying/dreaming the adventure. Was able to get into a partnership @ KLZU in a PA28 - 180 this summer. About 10 hours knocking off the rust and continuing to learn. Watching your vids has help me do so much better!!! Flew the wife to Chattanooga (KCHA) last Saturday for our first “ airplane overnighter” and enjoyed every minute of it! Wilson Air FBO treated us like royalty and the bride was 🤩.

[@philraimi3903]

Same - grew up in Oak Park, but moved to San Diego in 1982. About 15 years ago, when our sons were little guys, we flew back to good ol Detroit Metro, rented a car, went up to MSU, then "Up North" to Traverse City, the "Gold Coast" (Petoskey, Charlevoix, Harbor Springs) and then to Mackinac Island. It was one of THE best family vacations were ever took - we LOVED our bicycle ride around the entire perimenter of the island. Brought back GREAT memories of when I went "Up North" as a kid and our family took the ferry across to the island. Great times!

[@philippmoser6384]

Great Video, i love it. Greets from LOIH in Austria (and no, we have no kangaroos 😉)

[@paulcarfantan6688]

At 11:50: "Like, the prettiest bike ride I`ve ever gone on." Well that makes perfect sense since one of the prettiest movies was filmed near there at the Grand Hotel in 1980. The movie "Somewhere in time" with Christopher Reeve, Jane Seymour and Christopher Plummer. If you haven`t seen it already, do yourself the pleasure; it`s well worth it.

[@erict5234]

Kevin, so let me get this straight... You guys live in IL and you are NOT familiar with Door County? Wow!!! No offense, but most of the WI vacation spots are seasonally taken over by IL residents... (Lake Geneva, WI dells, Eagle river, Sturgeon bay) You, Jamie and the family are always welcome in God's country (WI) anytime...

You guys should go to Door County sometime. Its really nice there.

[@yourpalfranc]

You guys get to some amazingly cool places!! The Mackinaw Grand Hotel puts me in mind of the Nemacolin Woodlands Resort in SW PA. You should check it out. There's a 3800' strip right out the back door!! I've never been to the UP, so now it's on my list!! Thanks!! ~Frank

[@davidvicari5139]

I did a circle of Lake Michigan couple summers ago inside 24 hours. I left VPZ in my 1957 172 in the afternoon, met my brother on vacation in Harbor Springs, dinner and overnight. Boats, rather yachts like I have never seen. Also, the Beech Starship belonging to the guy who bought out the inventory was on the ramp. Departing 10 the next morning, traced your same route, only 3000 ft. Overflew Mackinac, had to go home, will be back! I had the impression how very remote the UP looks.The islands like stepping stones to Door Co were really amazing. I stopped at Manitowoc and found it very general aviation friendly, had the Swift fuel my bird likes. Finishing off with the Chicago Skyline...

[@Doc-do9yf]

Questions ... how much baggage does each family member have? Do you have baggage on the airplane? What is your consideration for SE performance on TO with 4 passengers and baggage (piston twin)? Why do you choose VFR flight following over IFR clearances? Thanks sir.

[@scable-eq7bp]

Very cool video guys, two years ago me and my girlfriend flew a Mooney Acclaim Ultra from Marathon, Florida to Mackinac Island, it was real cool cruising up the east shoreline of Lake Michigan at 1000 ft, AGL doing 230 knts. The whole Island is like a place lost in time, it's the most quintessential experience ever.....

[@hawkdsl]

Man, that paint job is just killing it. - High Power Rocketry is allot more advanced then "Model Rockets". Check your NOTEMS, they usually block out 5 to 10k feet.. higher for large launches. Some of those rockets are serious pieces of hardware. NAR.org or tripoli.org for the curious.

[@andreasbacher2695]

Fantastic family trip with a very nice looking twin engine plane! I also would like to fly a Baron instead of my Bonanza, but the price of AVGAS over here in Europe is about 11 USD/gal, so I put a rescue raft in the baggage compartment over water and keep the Bonanza ..... Greetings from Austria!

[@ExtremeRecluse]

It was 1965 when I first visited Mackinaw Island. I was 5 years old. Don't remember much accept for the ferry ride and the horse and buggy ride. Visited again two months ago. Much more enjoyable. You must have eaten some Pasties?

[@blackhawks81H]

Are you pretty decent with short strips with tall trees on both ends? If so you should visit Beaver Island. I lived there for many years and it's an absolutely amazing place. Couple hundred year round locals. There's a reasonably sized airport there, SJX, but it's pretty far from town in the middle of nowhere. So you'd be basically stuck there. Theres a smaller private airport 6Y8, Welke, that's much closer to town. You can land there, and they sell fuel during like regular 9-5 hours, sometimes later, during the summer times. Just keep an eye out for the BN Islanders making straight in approaches like a bat out of hell, tiny commuter airline. Tell them a friend of Paul Welke recommended it to you. The paved strip is about 2500 feet long and not particularly flat. Or wide. Lol. They actually do have a pretty big maintenance shop there for the fleet of islanders, major airframe and power plant, which isn't really something you'd expect on Beaver Island at the smaller airport. Paul himself rebuilt an old school apache, and he loves some good pilot talk if you catch him around the airport.

[@williamrouse3510]

Y'all should come down south to St. Simons Island and/or Jekyll Island...2 of Georgia's Islands which have nice runways. I've heard from pilot friends that St. Simons is better to land at as it has a very long runway. I know Jekyll provides pilots with Golf Cart to move around the Island on, but there is certainly a lot more to see and do on St. Simons...Great Eateries there. And the Weather is usually perfect down here. Of course, during the summer months, there are almost always popup afternoon thunderstorms. Aside from that, the climate is perfect. Fun in the Sun!

Door County is part an archipelago that ends on what’s called the Garden Peninsula just outside of Manistique, MI. I own property just off the lake on “The Garden” and often see numerous small planes following the shoreline like you did when I’m there. Given the views in your video I now understand why. Gorgeous.

[@Jhardage62]

Mackinac is a cool trip for sure! On your way down the west shore you flew over the airports my son and I use for fun and to maintain currency. My home field of Appleton ATW is about 15 minutes west of Manitowoc. Believe it or not, MTW is non towered and has a functioning ILS you can use all by yourself for practice. Pretty country for this displaced Texan. Winters are very cold but you eventually adapt.

[@kwkspectre]

I'm pretty sure the rockets they were launching were high powered rockets that require an FAA waiver to fly. They have different altitude limits depending on the kind of rockets they are launching, but they can easily reach 9000 feet, and actually much higher.

[@jasonbergeron6347]

I said the same thing when we landed on 4 Oct.........did someone let their dog loose......hahaha! We flew the same route going to the island since we were visiting family in WI. Going up and over the west side of Lake Michigan, Sturgeon Bay etc. was gorgeous with the fall colors. We stayed at the Bicycle Inn this time. Had a great room rate for the end of the season, but no water view or view of main street. We prefer staying at Mission Point in a water view room, but have considered the Iroquois to try next time. Yes they do haunted tours on the island. You can sign up for them at the Bicycle Inn. We have never stayed at the Grand, but have enjoyed cocktails at the Cuppola Bar at the very top. You guys would enjoy that next time. Take a week long trip next time........or book a winter stay. Most everything is shut down for the year. There are a few places that stay open though. It's a much different feel in the dead of winter. Think The Shining....very quiet and serene. Another good one Kevin and Jaime!

[@corvairchris82]

Hey Kevin, loved this video, like I said on your previous Mackinac Island video you need to start planing for July next year during the Chicago to Mackinac Island sailboat race, I've seen a few finishes from shore on Mackinac Island, but it would be awesome to see from the air. Tell Jamie to call the Grand Hotel today if it's not already too late to book your room.

We were there last year on the 4th of July. It was a ton of fun. We stayed in a motel right on the main strip and watched the fireworks first on the mainland followed by the island.
