[@rumbear1]

Thanks, Trevor!!!

When we left Hawaii it was amazing how quickly most of my Aloha shirts lost their style on the mainland. LOL

[@johnkluenker]

😂 So true!!

Good memories…years ago I flew into LIH twice a day, three days a week to pick up the mail. Yes, R35 always had a right crosswind. The voice of the tower controller was familiar! Any chance you can unblock your aircraft from FlightAware so we can see your routing?

[@NovejSpeed3]

I'm such a fan!

[@johnkluenker]

Wow! Thank you so much!

[@christopherbowers7219]

Awesome vid!!!!

[@johnkluenker]

Thank you!!! 🙏🏻

[@frankb518]

Oh MAN! Great to see you! And the Original "Kitfox adventure" open!!!! Watching while eating some dinner.... 8:21 PM here In N.Y.

[@johnkluenker]

Awesome! Hi Frank! Hopefully the video made your dinner a little more enjoyable. Thanks for tuning in! 🙏🏻

[@rustyrogers86]

Sick!

[@johnkluenker]

Thanks brother!!

Always a pleasure to watch your videos ! I would love to start a biz jet pilot career and your participate a lot in motivating me. Aloha and see you in the next vid :D

[@johnkluenker]

Thank you so much for the comment! It really helps motivate me to keep making these videos so I really do appreciate that. Do you fly airlines right now?

[@mouhamedbeladjimi7018]

​@@johnkluenker Thanks for your respond. At the moment I'm doing my glider pilot license in France :D Watching your videos keeps me motivated, because I'm really bored with school. But when I see one of your vid it reminds me my objective. I know it's going to take a while, probably a lot of money too but the benefits are uncountable. And you make some good contacts with people too which I really apreaciate !

[@johnkluenker]

@mouhamedbeladjimi7018 wonderful! Well, if you are learning to fly gliders, that will give you A fantastic feel for flying an airplane which will last your entire career. I never got my glider rating, but I always wish that I had. Definitely keep at it. I can’t imagine doing anything else. Looking forward to doing your job is an incredible feeling. And then to get paid for it doesn’t even make sense! Just keep making effort every day and every week and eventually you will find yourself getting paid to fly. It is a pretty awesome feeling!

How much fuel did you land with and how many pax did you take? Just trying to get an idea how much legs the X has.

[@MNDZSURF]

Any chance to get that checklist to be used on Cessna citation x on xplane 12?? It’s very realistic!! Txs

[@frankb518]

Just Like Landing On " Tetanus" John! Very Cool Landing!!! Maybe On one of your Vids, For Us " Want to be flyers" Explain A Little on the " Descent" ? Like Flaps positioning vs. Speed ? That would be Appreciated!!! I''ll Keep Watching! Getting to Fly Again From N.Y. to CO. in a week and a half to see New Grand Daughter!!

[@johnkluenker]

That’s wonderful news! Congratulations! Well for reference, we typically extend slats and flaps 5 degrees less than 250 knots (idle thrust) within a few minutes of reaching the final approach fix. At 210 knots it’s flaps 15 and gear down. Half a dot prior to glide slope intercept select flaps 35 degrees at 180 knots or less. Approach to final speed is between 115 and 140 knots depending on landing weight. Hope that helps!

[@frankb518]

@@johnkluenker Thank You John! Appreciate that! And Landing? I can Google the terminologies im not sure on ! L.o.l. ! But I think I get it.... Less Speed, more flap angle....... Thank you for the detailed response!

[@jakebeile]

Hi John I fly the Tempest Flight started flying that Citation X (Frist X type) beginning of the year after flying falcon 900. and lear 60, but the crosswind landings on final on this video, wondering if you could talk through the final 200 feet of the landing on your KZbin what you doing with rudder? and aileron combination Thanks for your feedback. can you add voice to this KZbin as you're doing it. explaining it. Thanks again.

[@johnkluenker]

Thank you for the comment. I have been meaning to do a video that goes through exactly that. I just have not found the time to get around to it. I appreciate the motivation!

[@jakebeile]

@@johnkluenker could you add voice to this video just curious

[@johnkluenker]

@jakebeile that’s a simple solution rather than making an entirely new video. I like the idea! I’ll try to work on that this week.
