Traffic Scare and Pop-Up IFR Flight from Lake House

We had a blast at our friends lake house in Wisconsin but it was time to get back. Jaime and I depart from Portage (C47) VFR, we got a little closer than we usually prefer with traffic (a Mooney) and then got a pop-up IFR clearance from air traffic control because the weather was worse than forecast. Hope ya'll enjoy it.

...looks like a lot of fun out there navigating in the water...as much as in the air...thanks again for sharing...

[@larrym2908]

Love starting off the weekend with a new video from 310 Pilot! Keep up the great work Kevin and Jamie! Safe flying.

[@lawn65]

Y’all rock keep keeping on living the life stay safe y’all. Covington ga.

[@kenbryant2570]

Thank you for the great flight. I always look forward to your videos. Take care and be safe.

[@marksanders2587]

I just love watching two airborne grown ups interact with each other...an inspiration and aspiration for all of us navigating on the ground. :-)

[@troysei8290]

I know nothing about aviation but have always been fascinated. Can’t stop watching these videos. Thank you.

[@jimcarlton9132]

Great flying and love following along... you guys are doing it right! Don't let the naysayers get you down or discouraged. You're doing a fine job flying just as you are. I get to see "real world" flying and not just sim or training flights. And the scenery is pretty dang nice, to boot! Kevin and Jamie, you guys rock! Thanks!

[@tareklarbi7168]

Always a pleasure to watch your videos guys. Thank you for sharing. Take care

[@CH1EFBL1TZ]

It's awesome that this guy knows exactly what he's doing with those thumbnails, and even more awesome that she doesn't care

[@dougiee89]

My favorite channel by far. Love all your videos start to finish. Great to watch as a student pilot, thanks for putting in so much work to share these videos!

[@odjrvfjdjr3261]

Excellent video guys......very enjoyable to watch. Great ILS approach. I love the term you use for weather "Scuzzie". I have friends from the midwest a d they use that term frequently. Safe travels on your next adventure.

[@danawalker55]

Great job on the wake board, Kevin! And thanks for sharing another awesome video!

[@sebastiaobucar7135]

I love this guys. I follow booth every times. I am from Brasília - Brazil. Beautiful fly.

[@tonywatkins6139]

Love this video, northern Wisconsin is beautiful. Your channel is absolutely helping me get through all of this COVID-19 craziness. Thank you for sharing your family's flying adventures and keep them coming!!

[@mikesmith4337]

Interesting flight with all the traffic. SHESH!! Jamie is cute as always. Those updated avionics would be tremendous in that airplane!

[@jeffhunt3146]

Very awesome as per usual guys !!!!! Great job getting away from that Mooney bro. Big thumbs up

[@reddog3544]

Thanks for the ride along Kevin and Jaime. Enjoy always. You are both lucky, Charlie

[@72evenant35]

Thanks for the awesome video. Gotta love the Avidyne geek out at the end.

[@stephenpickrell2008]

Awesome....Glad you all had a lot of fun. Love your flying videos and also your Cessna 310. Blue skies...

[@yungathart7801]

Great video Kevin and Jamie. Happy landings and stay safe!

[@pedro13565]

Great job as usual. Super professional. Makes me want to start my career all over again.

[@williammuzzeylll9037]

Hey hey looks like you guys are having a good time I love your videos keep up the good work

[@donc9751]

You did great on the wake board! Loved the video, scary watching out for that other plane/Mooney bearing down on you guys! ATC did a good job of keeping you safely out of the way but still nerve wracking i bet! Jaimie still seemed nervous about it but i totally understand. Happy Flights and see you on patreon!

[@georgebergerac5621]

Probably Neal Boortz in that Mooney...

[@babarahmed9423]

lovely. Thanks for sharing. Happy Landings

[@michaelburke9153]

Awesome as always. Thank you!!!

[@richorourke7872]

Nice flight kevin going thru clouds Fun. Your a good pilot nice seeing u guys Again. Always nice

[@duanebennett2961]

Keep em coming!! Love all of the videos!!

[@dmorgan28]

Loved the awesome video. You are a great pilot. And a nice touch on that landing. 👍👍👍❤️

[@larrymayberry2312]

Kevin, I agree...Jamie does look awesome. She looked a bit worried looking for the Mooney and seemed a bit tired. Get some rest and keep providing great content. Safe flying guys.

[@Maximum1A]

Another joyful ride along 👍 Fun and entertaining to watch.

[@MrTmarshall]

I absolutely love your 310! What a bad ass plane! Love the channel too!

[@chrisc161]

Great flight thank you for sharing

[@klax155cc]

Jaime...Love the shirt !!!!! One of the best places in Key West !!!

[@johnbolin7098]

Agreed, flight following is always an excellent option even when the airplane is outfitted with collision avoidance . The ski boat / pontoon boat is best of both worlds. Living in Florida for decades, I would have frozen in that Wisconsin lake . Noticed your " Killington shirt, skied those slopes many times. Love your 310 !!

[@pauloverland8816]

Kevin is such a Phenomenal Pilot and Jamie's a great wing woman, who know's everything going on around her....Great vid guys....

[@randytingen]

Great flying, awesome video Kevin

[@bluehornet6752]

That is one SWEET machine now, with the new panel and sportin' new paint. Very impressive!

[@kevincroskery1358]

Great videos Kevin (great name as well!), keep up the good work. Reminds me of flying as a front seat passenger in a 310 in southern Africa in the 1980s. Of course our navigation aids were more basic back then, paper map and mark one eyeball. At times we were out of range of any navigation beacons so had to totally rely on recognising landmarks - in particular the Zambezi River. Good times...

[@michaelbrannan4864]

That's a amazing flight Kevin 😎🛩️

[@1995jug]

Thanks for the ride you guys make a great video.

[@federicomaisch6812]

Great flight, thank you

[@wpierce57]

Those darned Mooney drivers. Fly around like they own the skies.✌️

[@TransportBaz]

So you're saying that Mooney dricers are like Audi, BMW and Mercedes drivers then?

[@MegaTriumph1]

Like those J.B Hunt Truckers. lol

[@HairHelmet]

Guilty

[@stlflyguy]

Traffic event with the Mooney seems much like a simulator training event. Love the hangar, wish mine was as nice! I took notes on the ending Avidyne request....

[@chriskayakq-ster7264]

Really well put together video ! Flight scenery was awesome i think it looks so cool looking forward with two propellers spin around on each side hence the twin engines. Enjoyed the lake footage too with the surf wave behind boat. Kevin your a lucky man sir! Your cutie pie wife will age like a fine wine she is one beautiful woman not too forget she is a mother wow. Keep filming and sharing i love it!

[@southpaw7364]

I love your videos. A month ago I had no clue what your guys were talking about to ATC. I've been playing Microsoft Flight Sim. Now watching this video. I understand everything you are saying. Keep up the great videos.

[@Moose6340]

Just had this pop up in my recommended...the 310 is a good-looking airplane to begin with but that paint job, man, that's gorgeous.

[@javiergalvan242]

Great video Kevin, always a pleasurer to watch your video's, great content and keep them video's coming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@RightontheMark8313]

Another entertaining episode! Great job!

[@billnicholson2470]

Looks like a very nice system if they do it. You two have some very good friends. Ya'll had a blast I'll bet. Ya that Mooney thing could have been bad. Your upgrades are all worth it when that happens. Stay safe and healthy. Great video. Never saw surfing like that before. Ya did good.

[@phillipsexpresstrucking5267]

I love watching all your videos especially when you do the Illinois flights it reminds me of home I miss chitown and it gives me a small piece of home

[@williammannecke8926]

Beautiful 310! Love the glass you got in there! 👍👍

[@drdave169]

That 1972 Cessna 310 (N771BC) is one BEAUTIFUL ship! You two should be very proud of her for all the work you have done!

[@310Pilot]

Thank you David! We sure are. She rolled off the line late that year but is actually the first of the '73 model line. :)

[@xvsj-s2x]

Way fun, great flying, wifey looked a little concerned for just a moment 👍

[@allencameron6151]

Just beginning to learn airmanship. These videos are enlightening.

[@blum335]

You guys are too cool!always looking forward for your next flight stay safe! blu marykay Reno Nevada

[@alanburke4699]

Nice job on that flight guys !!!!!!

[@davidopalecky7318]

Thank you for sharing

[@petertarantelli]

Excellent plane spotting! Enjoyed the flight!

[@klc317]

Great video. That lake house looked awesome!

[@SurfVR]

Im here for the Twin engines on that bird. Good landing there, Kevin.

[@corykent7]

Oh yeah! The ones clearly represented on the thumbnail?

[@shaunolinger964]

Lmfao!! That's what got me interested too!

[@DoDgeSwaG]

Lmfao yup twin engines alright

[@spo307]

SEAT BELT

[@honda450rider87]

Wow the boating looks just like it does where I live in Bath, NC!! Awesome video!!

[@SuperDave21]

Jamie is a BABE...! Nice video and flight too!

[@ivanlussich8146]

Very nice video. Excellent shots both at the lake and airborne. The 310 cockpit has good forward visibility --better than many a jetliner... Also loved the smooth engine noise, buzzing reassuringly in the background. Thank you and saludos from Uruguay.

[@patrickpepper4587]

Nice approach and landing Kevin ... Jamie seemed a little exhausted from all that surfing ...

[@philipgledhill7227]

Brilliant video buddy hope both of you are well.take care and happy flying. Phil.

[@davidtesch3205]

Thanks again for coming to our airport! It's always nice to hear c47 over the radio !

[@kennethpalmer1529]

The boss flew some of the employees to a fishing trip in his plane(Dollar Ninety Eight was its name). Anyway at some point in the flight ATC calls and says expect to crash at a certain point! I was in the copilot seat and I bet the pilot really got a kick out of my expression on my face. He said don’t worry we just have another plane crossing or path. I looked for that plane for 30 minutes. Love your trips Kevin!

[@markmaccani9411]

Kevin, Nice job on the video. Last week I became a plane owner once again. So back to flying for me. Thank you for all time you put into these. Have a great weekend.

[@kevin4sambos119]

Kev we both love our Avidyne IFD’s! They are so useful and easy to reprogram your flight plan in flight, Love the videos and Jamie this was one of your quieter flights possibly from a fantastic weekend with friends😎 Thanks,

[@310Pilot]

I'm with you Kevin....the IFD's are amazingly intuitive. Could never go back. As you can tell, I'm excited to see their new PFD in action!!

[@garrymillwood5507]

Tough flight . Great flying .

[@johnwyoder]

That was an interesting flight! Also, I had fun finding the way points (intersections) that you flew from Rockford to Aurora on FlightRadar24.

[@edwardkirkland686]

Good job guys!

[@jwschrag]

Love the job ATC does for us! Shout out to all the controllers keeping us safer in the skies! Jaime looked a little subdued or preoccupied. Here’s hoping she’s alright and life continues to bless you both!

[@AviatorMark]

Just had to take the boat in for winterization. Glad to see you got to enjoy yours probably one of the last times this season. Great video as always. Keep up the good work…

[@agpamungkas4114]

The two engines inside is awesome

[@coreyfrancis4373]

Great couple, Great plane, Great Video. Thanks

[@budmcdonald9190]

Irish Kevin’s is probably my favorite bar. Most fun I’ve ever had at a bar.

[@georgegagnon4566]

Another great video. thanks

[@kevinfinnen2098]

Kevin/Jamie, I really enjoy your videos. My father worked for the FAA for 37 years.... LGA, Cleveland Hopkins, DTW, HNL, then to the regional office in Des Plaines. Stay well.

[@gbsorenson]

Love shooting an approach with the IFD, so much fun. Unfortunately we're getting into the icing season :-(, you've got boots....I don't. Another fun trip, thanks for sharing!

[@tjsteele513]

Great video!! Thank you!!

[@47colton]

I just came across your channel. I instructed at ARR 35 years ago. 25,000 hours later its cool to see someone flying in there. Enjoyed the video!

[@jaysanderson3167]

Hello from Sycamore. Just found you this week and really enjoy your videos.

[@jamesmagnum]

I've been catching up with your latest adventures and glad to see you and the family is fine. Truly enjoying the trips and info you share. If it's not much to ask, I'd really appreciate if you could show a route and stats you've flown at the end of each trip like a screenshot from the app or something. Safe trips 1BC.

[@brytonjasper8039]

I find these videos very entertaining. I would be up there with you had I not lost my sight in my left eye. Keep flying and entertaining. You guys are the best 😎

[@itscrazyal]

Love the T-Shirt, some of the greatest times i don't remember were at Irish Kevin's during Fantasy Fest lol

[@ChatGPT1111]

itscrazyal FF rocks! Went twice in the past 5 years. Wish we could go this year but too risky. Saw Psychedelic Furs there one year.

[@itscrazyal]

@@ChatGPT1111 it is one of those things that should be on every guys bucket list, therefore it has to be on every girls bucket list lol

[@klax155cc]

I came I drank...I Don't remember !!

[@mastertek383]

Yeah that thumbnail is quite the click attractor.

[@parkeranderson5074]

Love the shirt, never been there.

[@anneholland3447]

[@DanCoastie]

Great video. Just picked up a single IFD440 Last week for my Cherokee and haven’t really used it much yet but looking forward to it!!

[@SMurphy845]

Another cool flight , where once again I learned something. Be prepared for pop-ups and traffic. Sorry to see you weren't feeling well Jamie? You guys rock, and if you ever head east towards KSWF give me a shout.

[@higgydufrane]

310 such a beautiful aircraft!

[@terryrutherford2114]

She is so pretty. Make sure you tell her often. haha. Thanks for the Vlog!
