My wife and I are investors with Mel Fisher Expeditions and always make the week you speak of. Always in the parade and bike ride during the day and at night, the real fun begins. We have a condo we rent out but use for special occasions such as this. Hope to see you next year.

[@smhammer92]

Looks like a swinging good time!

[@ericgutknecht6037]

Nice 993 in that hanger along with the Baron!! Perfect pair!

[@bob101125]

Thanks!

[@jheron61]

Looked like a nice flight down. Enjoy the sailing! The 3 day Rock Island Fest started this weekend, probably why all the extra aircraft parked at the field.

[@luisbatista1103]

Love the other white Jet - Porsche 911👍🇨🇦

[@michaelzonis9953]

Love Key West. Left a lot of brain cells there over the years!!

[@jdudley77]

I enjoy listening to your interaction with ATC and watching you work the radios/ nav. Good stuff!

[@johnsauer9067]

I'm not a pilot but I recently found your KZbin videos and now it seems I'm hooked on watching. Fascinating what's involved with flying a general aviation aircraft. Impressed that Kim is really interested in learning all about flying. Must make it more fun for you. I have Subscribed and hit the Bell. Keep 'em coming.

[@ryanawilson8549]

👏👏👏

[@kevincollins8014]

Always a fun flight with you guys. Thanks for bringing us along with you. I hope you had a wonderful time down in the keys.

[@Mr.Martini549]

You and Steveo dropping a vlog on a Friday. Perfecto!

[@deanwoermke6590]

You should post a video of your vacation antics..love your videos!

[@adimorfondnofromida]

I work key west approach, cool to see it from the other side, especially on one of the rare days we’re landing west

[@Aran2323]

I'm getting spoiled. I just watched two other brand new aviation videos, and then this pops up!

[@bobspencildrawings6928]

I always look forward to your videos. 👍👍👍

[@wooters12]

Definitely agree with your ditching area assessment. I’ll take water every time. I worked several water crashes/ditching of small and large aircraft while in the USCG. Unfortunately anything but a slow landing with minimal swells usually ends badly.

[@patrickheavirland3599]

Hello from Minnesota! Great episode!

[@garyscholder2463]

Fun times👍🏼☀️🏖. My wife has flown our Baron from Portland Oregon down to Key West several times now. It’s a super fun trip. One time when we left Key West, she was talking with ATC and we flew out and around the Island groups to the west. Boca Grande Key, Marquesas Keys, and the Dry Tortugas (the fort there was cool to look at from the air as we circled from a distance). If you have the time, it’s definitely worth the tour in a Baron🤙🏼.

[@donaldholman9070]

Great landing! Thank you.

[@Wanderlustwithjess50]

Used to be stationed there! Back seat ride in F4 in 1974!

[@CoryArmer]

Another fun video! My wife and I've been to that bar with the dollars hanging everywhere. I can't remember the name of it now though.. Key West is such a blast!

[@michaelzonis9953]

Captain Tony's

[@StuTheFarmer]

I want to know more about you working on that music video of I’m on a boat! Lonely island are the best fake mc’s on earth!

[@samuraidriver4x4]

Kim requesting clearance like a boss. Guess the training is going in the right direction.

[@gcrauwels941]

Don't want to venture into R-2916 in Cudjoe Key. Someone flew a Skylane into the one inch cable in '07 holding the radar aerostat killing 3.

[@ryanawilson8549]

Just noticed the ashtrays 🤣 bet you don't see those much anymore

[@johnspooner4128]

Dang saw your plane saw your Porsche wanted to see your sailboat, you're me after I won the lottery!

[@grenet60]

Hello, thank you for this nice flight

[@texasfan3345]

Nice flight. Hope y’all had fun

[@bernardanderson3758]

Great to see that your copilot has been working with you on doing your IFR clearance copying

[@rivirme]

pretty airplane, what a beautiful flight and videography. thank you

[@bradv4027]

Beautiful plane.

[@colinkulasik1128]

Christopher, you certainly are a professional pilot, the way you just rattle off your out-tro like an auctioneer. I would get my tongue so tied in a knot lol. Love the video as always

[@WilliamSmith-ym6ve]

Good morning, Kim, you did a good job on a radio. You and your boyfriend's doing a good job. I'm sitting back and watch. Yes, and give me my pin. Not telling you what to do with it. I'm just giving you my phone, it's alright. So have a good flight. I'll be watching it, see how you improve.

[@maespip]

Thanks for posting.

[@BaronPilot]

Thanks for watching.

[@Gus0898uk]

Very entertaining, many thanks, fly safe.

[@6actual911]

Kim is looking great today!!

[@alexmikhael5061]

0:29 hey!!! ''NOT THE DAUGHTER''s BACK!!! YIPPEEE!!!! woahh!!! :) and the HAT :) LOL that tripped me up on the BIZ MODE NO HAT LOL :) I was about to call you on a NOSE JOB or something lol

[@animan756]

A LOT warmer conversations between you and Kim in the Baron than they are in the Lear!

[@TheFretman2]

"A Week Of Debauchery" ... tease!

[@yv295c]

LOL Give me some air Por Favor! You guys are getting used to south Florida :) Great video!

[@MrJp2342]

That’s me on key west approach!

[@BaronPilot]

Very cool!!! Thanks for taking good care of us! 🍻

[@MrJp2342]

@@BaronPilot sorry you couldn’t see the F18s, maybe next time haha

[@rockeyroy1]

grass strip landing for sure!!

[@mattf49006]

while you make a valid point about suitability of ditching vs swamp landings...the water where the Valuejet DC9 crashed in the swamp was about waist deep...but it augered in almost straight nose down and buried itself in and under the mud floor

[@redwatch1100]

Nice landing.

[@robertwren2289]

Glad Kim's back. Yahoo!!! 😃 Kim's getting good on that radio! Not to mention I can understand her. 😁 I keep looking for a ring on Kim's finger. Thanks for addressing your landing gear up! I think a while back I may have asked about that. That made me laugh when Kim messed up the read back. I had the number, and I was saying, 2. Do you know what the Bend is, Kim, The Turn. 😂 I bet people have mixed up that runway more than once. Nice landing!

[@thomase907]

"WE IN THE KEYS!!" lol

[@bobspencildrawings6928]

Very impressive Kim doing the clearance. I think she’s got ATC down. She has the perfect voice for commS👍👍 can’t wait to see her fly on her own.

[@SmittySmithsonite]

Beautiful! My best friend and his family are planning to bail out of here (MA) and settle in Cape Coral - he was just showing me on Google Maps how we could take the boat he plans to buy right across to Key West! I've never been to the Keys, so this is going to be the best day of my life, lol. I can't wait! It was -6° here this AM. I'm just about done with all of this!! THANKS for sharing - beautiful place! You guys crack me up as usual. Kris: "YOU cause me presssure." Sorry Kim, that was funny! 😁

[@skigolfmike]

Well, I am biting the bullet and making the switch from Garmin to Avidyne (GNS430 to IFD440). I hope it is everything you say it is and it will be nice to have LPV and LNAV/VNAV available instead of just LNAV. I know I'll have to learn new flows. We'll see how it goes. Stay tuned. Hope you had fun in Key West. I need to do that sometime.

[@BaronPilot]

I’m sure you will love it once you have time to become familiar with it.

[@erniesenatore1845]

As to your discussion on gear up , The as you said the TOLD card is really the guide, the fact your a multi-engine the gear once your past Vr and accelerating to thru Vmc then the gear should be going up..just my training thoughts

[@vanallen9453]

..such a great title..yet another instant..like and subscribe video..our best wishes once again..and keep em coming..

[@mickemike2148]

Dang it! I was in Key West the last couple of weeks and missed you guys!

[@edgrant3994]

Check the Screw above the passenger side door... It is loose Near the visor mount... It may not mean anything , but you never know

[@equaltothetaskaviation6440]

one of your best videos ever - thank you guys - love it

[@Alcisco504]

Kim Official = “BOSS STATUS!!!”

[@ronnydowdy7432]

You and Kim make a great couple for listening to while y'all are flying. I just found you're channel and this is the 2nd episode I have watched since I subscribed after watching the 1st episode. Would like to see some of the boat and Key West. Enjoyed the show and keep em coming.

[@BaronPilot]

Welcome to the channel and thank you for subscribing. 🍻

[@jdbarney]

Liked the rear-facing camera angle immediately after takeoff!

[@patrickpepper4587]

I remember the ValueJet DC9 crash well. It crashed into the Everglades at nearly supersonic speed and straight in vertically and upon impact it actually broke through a crest / shelf on the bottom and disappeared.

[@redwatch1100]

Yeah that was horrifying. Eastern 401 wasn't much better. I remember that one too.

[@subsailor.9672]

Has anybody heard anything from Shawn @Corporate Pilot? His channel has been silent for over 6 months.

[@wilson4328]

At that airport, you had a lot of grass after the end of the runway. I think you could have easily set it down and rolled through the grass, past the end of the runway, and walked away.

[@harpoon_bakery162]

I see that Zack Seemiller was playing at Willie T''s when you were there, hopefully were you able to stay for John LaMere's performance, he's a one of a kind legend in Key West at Willie T's, Sloppy Joe's and a few other places.

[@jimtiller5239]

Don't know if either of you has seen the movie Heavy Metal. My favorite character name from that movie is Hanover Fyste. Just thought I'd throw that out there.

[@BaronPilot]

Now I need to watch it! LOL

[@MichaelLloyd]

Could you send me one of those debauches... we don't have any in New Mexico :) To your point about ditching in the Everglades vs the water... it's kind of the same here. The smooth desert isn't :o) Now that I've been flying a retractable gear aircraft (Cutlass... C172RG) I understand what you're saying. Positive rate, gear up (dump the drag), gain altitude. Altitude is your friend, especially when flying off of a mesa top over a city. The overrun area is at about 60 degrees down up here if you takeoff to the east and rougher and steeper to the west.

[@mikercflyer7383]

The one time we had a chance to stop at the Key West was on a cruise and the ship had a malfunction and skipped Key West such is life.

[@paratyshow]

👍☑️ KIM Yea! LOL

[@docdurdin]

Since you shorted us on the debauchery, this should be part 1, unless coming in fast a low was a preview. Have fun!

[@andrewbainton4139]

Why so many planes in Key West when you arrived? Well of course they heard that "The Razor and SIC" wuz a comin'! as always enjoyed the video and thanks for sharing Love Moose

[@shreddder999]

This week of debauchery is starting to get quite long. (4/17/23)

[@frankkenzler8031]

24:17 *_Kim makes photos of the airforce base_* ATC: "N3175W, please stop making pictures of the base!" 75W: _put your answer here_

[@tangot8549]

Baron POH - Positive rate gear up.

[@sky-11]

your living the life......

[@Aran2323]

Is that your Porsche 993? And am I seeing things or is that a GT2 as well? Either way, you (or your friends) have excellent taste in cars.

[@radieter1]

Great flight!!! What was the black thing bouncing in the back of the plane?

[@javis778]

I liked your video guys!!!

[@Benglator1]

To be fair about that plane crash....It crashed at speed nose first into the ground. Even in the waters of the gulf, that will most likely be fatal. The plane did disintegrate as ground sonar turned up no large sections remaining. There is actually a memorial you can visit but its a few miles from the actual crash site.

[@John-el7pr]

It’s also the first international airport in the United States

[@bensinger297]

Kim may be the first candidate to get her IFR rating before her PPL.

[@johnschumacher1769]

Hi Chris, any reason why you're not using your AOA indicators? Curious.

[@40bigguy40]

when Valujet crashed they were doing over 500 mph. the crew didn't even know they were about to crash. if you do an emergency landing in the glades, you would have better survivability then they did if you were landing as opposed to crashing in a nose down, high speed attitude!

[@GaryMCurran]

While I have been to Florida a few times, grandparents on both sides lived there, I've never made it much further down than Orlando My father DID get to visit NAS Key West back in October of 1962 for a couple of weeks when he was in the Navy Reserve flying the old S-2F Trackers by Grumman. He wasn't a Naval Aviator, although he was a pilot. He was a sensor operator onboard, and they, at that time, were looking for Russian submarines headed into Cuba Kris, I asked in your other recent video about your licenses and ratings. I didn't realize you were a LearJet Captain, so I was wondering, are you an ATP? Also, are you a CFI/II/M? Obviously, you are at least a Commercial pilot with a multi rating, that's obvious.

[@waukeshapilot6462]

Nice Porsche

[@petertarantelli]

When you were explaining the 50 feet callout, you were bending back your fingers really far! Guests of Bill Murray?

[@paulmccutchen7781]

was beginning to think I had missed an episode or two.

[@RelaxingPeacefulMusicChannel]

Wow. a Shorts Bros Plane!

[@phillipsiviter2024]

Great vlog guys, agree on the ditching assessment. We have our own equivalent of the Everglades where I am called the Flows - mostly boggy, with sprinkles of lochs and lochan’s. Fortunately it doesn’t have wildlife that could kill you as soon as look at you though.

[@brianlott7571]

Enjoyed your images and commentary regarding the situation at 50 feet of altitude during departure. I’ve heard you call out 84 knots, is that your Vr speed? I would be very interested in asking you to call out when you achieve blue line as well. I am curious about the time factor between rotation and blue line on your typical departure in the Baron. Thank you.

[@Shady_Shirley]

Was that No Name Pub with all the dollar bills on the walls and ceiling’s?

[@frankcloskey7789]

How can you afford this plane and hanger . What do you do for a living.

[@seabiscuit726142]

Stay in school and work hard, kids! This way, when middle age crisis hits hard you'll afford a private plane, a younger partner and especially...that 911/964 wide-body parked in the hangar!

[@John_Be]

8:36 Kris, what was the controller talking about when he said, "You're going to hit those cables from those baloons." It's not a CBP aerostat is it? I remember when they had one stationed near DC in Maryland several years ago... I believe it got away once.

[@Bill_N_ATX]

Yes, there is a couple of aerostats on Cudjoe Key. One is used by CPB for radar surveillance and the other is used to transmit Radio and TV Marti down to Cuba.

[@DanFrederiksen]

I see winter has hit florida hard

[@55Warbird]

Is that a 993 Turbo? 964? Either way, you sure have nice toys… Livin’ the dream!

[@BaronPilot]

993, Thanks

[@JustPlaneSilly]

What camera is that hanging down from your windshield?

[@BaronPilot]

Garmin camera.

[@pilotjeff1723]

So great to see this father and daughter team flying together, i’ve flown into Marathon many times. Looks like a great flight

[@caminokill1297]

Wait, daughter? For real?

[@rwrobs777]

Yes !!…a great Father-Daughter flying team !!…just found this channel.

[@bridgettybresko6134]

If you complain about reroutes and have all these requests, just go vfr, wx looked vmc to me...atc has the big picture and they're not going to move airliners in busy airspace for small ga aircraft.

[@wadesworld6250]

I saw plenty of clouds in that video, so to be VFR they likely would have had to fly much lower. Nothing wrong with a request - you just have to be prepared for ATC to say "unable."

[@johnjrambo1054]

WELL DONE"

[@stephpaynes]

Dear Kim & ?? Never seem to get your friend, the plot's, name. Before actually watching this video. I would like to state we had a two week holiday at Casa Marriott in KW be about January 1986.Flew to Miami drove down thru the Keys

[@bobspencildrawings6928]

What I like about Kim helping with commS is she’s no longer just a passenger. She’s now a crew member👍👍

[@troyjollimore4100]

“Please support our Patreon…” I’m kind of depressed now, because EVERY vehicle and element of that intro is worth more than my HOUSE. Separately. Not altogether. LOL! 😆

[@FrontNationaal]

When is the Lady moving to the left seat?
