Preacher ATC, Leg Two to OshKosh Concord, NC to Rockford, IL

[@wileywooten279]

Beech has designed and produced some of the most amazing GA aircraft ever built, but the engineers were smokin crack on the day they designed the door. Every veteran Baron or Bonanza pilot has experienced a door “pop” in flight. Every time it will scare the crap out of you too. Great vid Christopher. 55 Baron is an awesome machine.

[@BaronPilot]

Knock on wood, I have not had a door pop on me since the early 2000’s and I hope to keep it that way! Now I have had the back window pop at night! And that did scare the crap out of me!😂

[@sammcdaniel5557]

Worked 1st 15 years after High School (WHS) at Beech Aircraft and loved it! Samism

[@BaronPilot]

Cool!!

[@ralphmadera4366]

Really smart lady,when see someone in such a short time making inputs in The avionics in such a short time she deserves thumbs up.

[@BaronPilot]

She continues to amaze me.

[@flyingsic]

Thanks Ralph Madera I try🙃 but Avidyne makes their systems so easy so I definitely have help!

[@leatherwoodjay]

Great choice of co pilot. She took to the plane immediately. Would love to see her pick up a license and share the yolk duties! Been watching you for about two years now. Great vids and am totally envious of your ability to make the world so much smaller via the Baron.

[@jimmyprat7376]

. . . share the yoke duties

[@donnbailey2056]

A cute copilot who is also jazzed about flying! Chris, you're the MAN! Now you need to tell the rest of the flying community how you found her!

[@rickybobbyaviationandfishi9768]

Trophy brah com'on man

[@stevemizar4143]

,awsome flight! She is taking to aviation like a duck to water! Shes absorbing the navigation portion and I have a feeling she will be soloing in that twin before you know it! You both make an awsome pair and I enjoy watching your adventures! God speed!

[@BaronPilot]

She impressed me more and more with every flight

[@stevemizar4143]

I'm not sure what she wants for a career but it looks like it could be in aviation, maybe a commercial pilot with an airline.

[@Parr4theCourse]

That's taking the relationship to the NEXT level, when you allow her to close the door on her own!

[@BaronPilot]

She has it down too!

[@RobinRobertsesq]

That's a new .... euphemism .

[@johnnukecop]

She kisses the nacelle, she programs in the flight plan, and she closes the door without abusing it. I am reminded of the lyric from an old song from the 70s . . . ohhhhh, what a lucky man he was. The videos are great . . . and fun to watch. Thank you.

[@BaronPilot]

Yes I am. Thank you and thanks for watching.

[@DiarmuidOhibicin]

I knew from day one that Kim was born to fly. She is so relaxed when flying, even in rough weather. I hope you video her journey through flight school, when the time comes. 👍

[@BaronPilot]

I certainly will. 😎

[@andrewbainton4139]

enjoyed this video as usual...thank you Exciting to hear that Kim will be taking flying lessons. I from what I see I think she'll make a very good pilot....she does have a good tutor too, but she also seems to get it, so to speak! Fantastic best of luck to you Kim!

RFD Chicago/Rockford - once was 'home' to the EAA Airventure till it moved to Oshkosh. Our little airport KFEP (Freeport, IL) is just west of Rockford about 20 miles. Which was once 'home' to the 'Freak Brothers' Skydiving Convention years back. Thank you for the video

Gregorian ATC chants, now my life is complete. Might be a Catholic flight controller, hehe. Love the little Baron. Such a lovely engine drone! Flew the baron with my brother years ago, nice machine to fly!

Great to see you both! Have a great time and be safe! God Bless You Both!

[@josephalexander3884]

Young lady, I was about to ask if you are flight certified, but that question was answered in the first few minutes. You are picking things up quickly. I’m excited to see someone else as excited about aviation as I am. Thank you both for the channel. I really enjoy your videos. I don’t know who does your editing, but your videos are spectacular. Great views, especially the the exterior shots. Thank you both.

[@BaronPilot]

Thank you. I do all of the editing. Wish I had more time to put towards it but I am glad you enjoy it.

I took my checkride at Concord on a real hot day, I remember flying over the quarry and it gave me quite the ride on final. By the way the CT dude is awesome. Hes always like that after retiring out of CLT ATC. great video again.

[@BaronPilot]

I can image the ride it can give you. And that controller is awesome

[@randc47]

Oh man, I’m sorry you had to spend any amount of time in Rockford. I can say that because I grew up there. 😎 Also, the next time you see her starting to wake up, pretend that you’re also sleeping. That reaction would be amazing!

[@BaronPilot]

That would be funny

[@MyF355Spider]

Great chemistry! Sad to see the follow up video won't quite be all it's hyped up to be, but sometimes Mother Nature has her own way. I think those Concord Auctioneer controllers are semi internet famous themselves! I've definitely heard clips a few times! Cheers y'all

[@PilotDaveAviation]

Great video, look forward to seeing those pics of the V tail. Also, Kim is doing an awesome job being a co pilot, she has that Avidyne programming down packed !

[@flyingsic]

David Rendon I wish I could have had a camera on at all times it was just so amazing! Avidyne has such an easy system it’s ridiculous- it makes me look like I know what I’m doing!🤣 Hope you’re recovering well!

Haha that might have been some instant karma!

[@danieljohnston5306]

Baron Pilot cured my young and dumb ideas of buzzing thats for sure...course this was in the 80’s so it wasn’t as PC as it is now. The next 20 years every two years of renewing my CFI I heard about buzzing as a hot topic....lol

[@truepilot1]

I had a V-tail and was flying with an instructor. I let him close the door. At 500ft it pops open. So, I got an extra landing on the flight. Also, got a lesson I never forgot.

[@gorgly123]

You have a great co-pilot. Good CRM.

[@BaronPilot]

Yes I do. Thanks 😎

[@randyporter3491]

I wonder if all Baron doors are finicky ? The one I flew years ago was like that. Didn’t matter how many times the adjusted it, it was hard to latch and did pop open a time or two. Another great video guys ! Safe skies !

[@BaronPilot]

Idk. Mine isn’t bad if you do it correctly.

[@andyjones6002]

[@lrodpeterson3046]

Two items of interest, perhaps. Most of those ZAU (Chicago ARTCC) sectors you went through were ones I worked for 25 years (plus several high altitude ones). That last fix in your route into RFD, AHMED (V8 and V10), was a fix I encountered regularly and I always intentionally mispronounced it "Ach-med". I don't know if it amused anyone else, but sometimes you need to liven things up on a dull day. Oh, finally, my son, born in St. Charles, not far from the aforementioned Ach-med, now lives in Belvidere, the next town east of RFD.

[@flyingsic]

LRod Peterson LRod- how’s Ormond treating you? I am still learning a lot of the lingo and I will definitely butcher fixes. Kristoffer does it as well. We always mess the HIZER and KIZER ones near us. We constantly hear ATC spelling it because everyone gets them wrong 😂

[@lrodpeterson3046]

@@flyingsic That's something that's changed a lot in the years since I retired (21). Actually, it started in the 80s, but GPS and our (ATC) own programming issues led to the overwhelming proliferation of five letter fix names--some pronouncable, some not. Back when I started the intersection/fix names were printed out in full on the charts, but internally most of them had identifiers--letter-numeral-letter or numeral-letter-letter. Those have gone the way of spats, now. I see in all the modern aviation videos that the five letter fixes are all over the place, as pilots file fewer airways and more direct-direct. Tough on controllers, especially if they're dinosaurs. I talked to you briefly at Fun 'n' Sun. I'm usually pretty vocal about being a retired controller, but it may not have come across. I was carrying (not wearing) a back pack and tankering a lot of water. I was also trying to hook up with Kevin and Jaime, but I don't know if any of that stands out. Good luck in your pilot pursuit. I've never lost the magic feeling, even though it's been about 25 years since I flew and over 50 since I was licensed.
