Busting Into the Flight Restrictions... and "Did you Get Scared?"

[@StefanDrury]

That “airshow” departure was awesome mate! Loved the vlogging with the family in this one too, great to see Chicago, love that city. MORE NIKO VLOGS!

[@utuber2940]

Your daughter is a great kid you must be a very proud papa😃

[@blimpcommander1337]

Your First Officer did an excellent job with the radio call!!!

[@NickNeary79]

That radio call was amazingwhen she first started speaking I was like oh no there's a kid on the radio and then she did it perfect and I was so happy.

[@upislandautomotive9283]

Loved Zoe’s “clear prop”and radio call...as always CLEAR PROP

[@Tchumfak]

5:15 this little girl is more confident than me on the radio...

[@BrilliantDesignOnline]

Best part was daughter making radio call: Awesome!

[@thomasforget7647]

Niko you have a beautiful family. It was great to see you enjoying some quality family time. It warmed my heart.

[@steveb5249]

Zoey makes it special yelling clear prop excellent questions where's the tower, her perfect radio call her reactions to the little air show .Thank you for taking us along Regards Steve B.

[@AmericanExplorer]

Zoe is quite the natural on the radio! I see a future pilot there! Chicago looked very nice. It's been over forty years since I've been there. You stopped over in my old hometown on the way back. I grew up in Athens. It's a great town and I miss it. I like Athens better than anywhere I've lived since. If you ever have a chance to go into town on a stopover there, I think all of you would really enjoy it. The sunset at the end was beautiful! Awesome video!

[@NikosWings]

I have been to Athens for a conference and enjoyed it quite a bit.

[@AmericanExplorer]

@@NikosWings Cool! Glad you've been able to enjoy it!

[@chester8420]

I have a 6 year old daughter, 4 year old son, and a 2 year old daughter. We enjoy watching your videos. They are fast paced and have beautiful scenery. It's nice to see a married family man making content. It's just nice to know that there are a few of those left in our world!!

[@theotherjustin]

I love the face Zoe made when you asked if she was scared. She looked annoyed that you'd even think to ask her that. Awesome video as always!

[@Juliette_4]

Road America is one of the nicest race tracks in USA. Zoe has a voice & is beautiful & smart!

[@Dm001681]

Love how you show how you and your family use the airplane and Zoey was awesome on the radio!

[@DerekRobinsonTech]

Great video, I see you are getting your daughter ready for that front seat, she did an excellent job on the call!

[@ltshering]

little angel joey , first radio call , like father like daughter , on father's foot steps , very confident i just love it

[@ryanbirch]

@5:25 proud parent moment! Loved it.

[@atulier]

I never sit thru videos without fast forwarding or getting bored. But your videos are simply amazing, i watch all over your videos without fast fwd or getting bored. Keep the entertainment coming! An icon!

[@503Zephyr]

You’ll remember her first call for a very long time. Great video. Thanks.

[@JodelFlyer]

What a great and confident first radio call Zoe, well done. Nice to share our flying with others very special to share it with family. Thanks for posting. Tim 👍 🙂 🇬🇧

[@gomphrena-beautifulflower-8043]

Zoe is a natural!! Won’t be long she’ll be saying “move over, Dad!”😁

[@HectiCAcres]

Because of THIS video I AM becoming a General Aviation Pilot. Please keep the Vlogs Coming!! Thank you for being an Inspiration.

[@SmittySmithsonite]

Zoe did a better radio call than I would have, and I've got many, many years on her - decades, in fact. 👍👍😎 She was cracking me up, making faces, then parroting you in the background there! 😁 Love Karen's close-up filming on the way, too. Beautiful shots!! You guys make a great team. Thanks as always, Niko! 👍🍻

[@bluejay5508]

Wooowww that was a nice smooth radio traffic call!!! She is a natural!!

[@nickpapagiorgio5056]

Niko your daughter is so freakin cute!Such a beautiful family you’re very blessed. I really loved this video this must have a such a fun and relaxing week with the nice weather and beautiful sights!

[@kf8679]

New to your channel...very sweet family...been binge watching your channel....glad you enjoyed Wisconsin...come back soon..excellent radio call by Zoe...Look forward to more videos..be safe 🙏👍🏼

[@jonathanhobbs4009]

Ok Niko, hands down your daughter makes the show🤣 Her love for adventure and bravery for small craft flying at her age is awesome. Keep up the awesome videos!

[@sanderdenhollander2443]

I was so impressed by that little girl, that I rewound the video maybe 8 times to 5:15 . Good job!

[@pilotgoals62]

As usual, another wonderful video. Zoe did great as SIC - hopefully a pilot in the future. Love Karen's video of landings. Don't know why, but they're so much clearer and a better vantage than pretty much anyone else's video I see. Great job to you all!

[@cpuwolf]

Her first radio call was just great

[@MichaelLloyd]

You fly into some of the coolest places. Zoe's clear prop was awesome and that radio call... absolutely perfect... She definitely wasn't scared lol. Boca is gorgeous at sunset. You flew a bunch of hours on the return trip but the landings and flight looked great. There are a lot of little details in this video that were fun, interesting, and made me laugh at times. Thank you.

[@daves.9076]

Thanks for the shout out for UGA and Athens. My home town. Great job on the video, as usual.

[@sebastiangrimm5671]

Chicago is a great city! Great video, great flying, great fun! Thanks for doing this! Greetings from Germany

[@dominichurt8691]

Zoe's radio call was excellent, she is so adorable!!

[@billnicholson2470]

Awesome radio call Zoe. Very nice video Niko. Thanks for the ride.

The first radio call was perfect! Future pilot.

[@John_Be]

That was an AWESOME Clear Prop, and she nailed the radio call! Great job Zoe!

[@jamesrose9114]

Zoe absolutely "killed it" on the radio. You just know she will have her PPL just as soon as possible! Great job Zoe! Great video Niko. I really look forward to your posts! Happy New Year to you and family. Hope the year is filled with happiness and success!

[@GGAviation]

I love how your instrument panel and cockpit look like a brand new modern car, way better than my little PA28, although I love her to bits :)

[@trryhin]

Airshow! That was great, and Zoe did great on the radio. Like the view of the PFD and across the panel.

[@patricks792]

Your daughter did an AWESOME job on the radio call. Brought a smile to my face. Forget the keys to the car.........when does she get the keys to N122SZ? LOL!

[@ericsprague4273]

Zoe is so cool. I miss those days with my kids who are now young adults. #On Wisconsin!

[@karimmifflin1052]

Another great video! Zoe sounds great on the radio. I don't know if your wife Karen is interested in learning to fly but what would make a fun video one day is to have her handle the radio calls. You have a wonderful family and it's good to see all of you enjoying the flight together.

[@vanallen9453]

...she nailed it...thanks again for sharing...gorgeous plane and scenery...

[@medic1120]

Good radio call Zoey! Look like you had a great time in Chicago, thanks for the advise where to stay.... keep them coming Niko.

[@bruceharper8149]

You have a beautiful family Niko, feeling privileged to share your adventures.

[@Xpyburnt_ndz]

Gr8 call out Zoe!!! What a fantastic trip and flight Niko! Beautiful photography too! Those setting sun shots were gorgeous!

[@nsw72]

"let's go...πάμε!" 👍 That approach reminded me a bit of St. Barts in the Caribbean. Over the hill and then diving towards the runway. Zoe's a natural. No 'umms' or 'ahhs'. 😀👍 Perfect call.

[@NikosWings]

Good ear

[@daleb194]

Great episode! So much good food in Chicago, have a new dessert stop to try now. 👍 Great clips in your B roll and nice map add in also.

[@bigmike32nope67]

My sweet home Chicago !! Love it ( not as nice as Florida) Great Video as always !! Beautiful family !!!!

[@thedesertpilot3118]

Great video as always Niko! I loved your daughter's radio call, she'll soon be a fully qualified copilot! So special for you to share aviation with her.

[@tompinnef6331]

Zoe did a great job. Soon she'll be flying. They grow up so fast - enjoyed the video. Thank you and take care.

[@AudioArcturia]

Athens is my neck of the woods. Ben Epps a lovely small airport.

[@sgtjay]

OMG- oodness sooo cute! Good job on the radio young lady!

[@Limumark]

Great video Niko! I'll mention again how blessed you must feel to be able to unite your passion for flying with your family. Dream fulfilled. Inspiring for sure. Thanks for taking us along too. :-) . Stay safe.

[@adama2569]

Love the jr pilot radio call.. future pilot in the making!

[@CirrusSRPilot]

I enjoyed meeting you at Oshkosh outside the making aircraft videos seminar and at the meet and greet! I’ve been following your videos on KZbin since the engine problem video. Just purchased a 2002 Cirrus SR22 and finished the embark training. I look forward to more of your great video and seeing you in person again. Like how you are getting your family on camera. Great example of how the plane can be used

[@NikosWings]

Thanks Tim. Congrats on your purchase. Safe skies

[@fumo7887]

My daughter is only 15 months old, and even before I saw this video, I've been anticipating her first radio call! So cool that we get to do something like this as pilots and share the adventures with our friends and family.

[@NikosWings]

And that’s what having kids is all about. The excitement of sharing a boring and mundane (for us) world with them and watch their eyes sparkle and giggles of excitement come out...

[@stoneguythepilotguy9029]

Being able to share aviation with family is the best feeling in the world!

[@johnnyg419]

What a great video! Love how you let your daughter work the radio! Well done! Awesomeness!

[@bennettkisla2862]

I used to go to Anokiji as a kid! Great place.

[@EuroAviators]

Great series! Those are true life goals to fly your own family around...

[@TheFlightLevel]

Great editing on this video! Love the speedy flow!

[@thomaspittock4018]

First Niko you have a beautiful family. Your daughters radio call was nothing less than precious and perfect, better than many pilots I watch. Secondly that runway in Chicago the displacement of the threshold seemed as long as the runway lol but the trees are right there so safety is paramount.

[@NikosWings]

Crazy runway

[@Vagabondo-fs6qu]

Great to see a family sharing a passion.

[@dangercloseusmc6902]

Hey Niko, I just discovered your videos today. I am seriously considering flight lessons and I was browsing videos and found yours. After binge-watching a metric ton of your stuff, I'm hooked. lol I appreciate your vlogging and enjoy all of your vids. You make it look easy.

[@NikosWings]

Hi Dave, I’m happy that you find the content interesting. I hope you start your aviation adventure soon

[@rontourage7384]

I have raced my motorcycles many years at Road America! Btw, perfect radio call! Nice job

[@timaerialphotofraser9050]

Just another beautiful video with stunning visuals. My son is 18 today, he will be joining the Royal Navy in 6 months time as an aircraft engineer. The passion for flight runs deep 👍

[@topgun8683]

I liked when the guy on the radio said , is that a Greek accent!

[@AeroworksProductions]

Another awesome video Niko. A thought I was watching the travel channel and the radio call was perfecto 👌🏻.

[@NikosWings]

Thanks buddy. How’s business and family?

[@AeroworksProductions]

@@NikosWings All good busy season again.

[@simplyred6780]

A Niko pretty cool flight lots of memories for the family Sunset was totally awesome

[@GlennNiesen]

Took my PPL checkride out of KSBM 35 years ago...this brings back some memories!!

[@mjotd8670]

Great video Niko, I too was going to ask about the flapping band on the cowl, but that's already been answered! - Great Job!

[@MattyCrayon]

That was a really enjoyable and relaxing video. Very well edited, and Zoey’s radio call, perfect 👌 Passed my controlled airspace and airport endorsement yesterday👍🏻 can’t wait to fly in the US soon.

[@NikosWings]

Congrats!

[@superchargedpetrolhead]

my jaw dropped on the floor when she made that radio call. Damn a future aviator in the making.

[@PortCharlotteAlex]

Dude the best video by far. Zoe stole the show.

[@nealhere]

Great video. Good to see how you worked with chicago. To sight see and then get ifr. Nice touch. Zooey is cool Pretty family miss grace as well All the best neal Punta Gorda

[@leeCann]

Always interesting, entertaining, well produced and fun to watch. Zoe did an amazing job on the radio. As always Niko, thanks for taking us along.

[@rikspector]

Niko, It was so much fun seeing your whole trip with all the diversity for your whole family. Your daughter is going to be an awesome pilot:) Cheers, Rik Spector

[@dabuya]

Your daughter is so articulate and bright!

[@stebecinc]

Your wife takes great video! Love some of the shots she got. Glad you had a great time here in the north!. I live in Michigan and enjoy it in the summer.

[@jonminer9891]

Great flight. Really beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

[@kevinarchibald7911]

Love the videos still! Keep it up. Thought: You make traveling though FBOs look effortless... you land, pull up, shut down, then cut scene and you're driving out the airport gate in your rental that was brought up to you. For those of us that have not learned any tips and tricks, perhaps you could talk in a video about how you plan trips (how you choose an FBO, reserve the rental car, notify the FBO of your arrival, do you use email or call, do you call them up on radio 15 min out or do you just pull up.... things like that). Now that I'm starting to do short trips with friends, I realize no one taught me during training how to efficiently use FBOs to my advantage; I'm sure I'm not the only one.

[@NikosWings]

Great question and this video is on my to do list. A bit of planning and a call in advance works well.

[@CAPFlyer]

Another excellent video Niko! Love the new graphics for the flight route.

[@marshie1337]

wonderful video. your daughter behind you when you were in the car, lmao. beautiful family man, livin the dream

[@edthompson2043]

Wow Niko, getting fancy with the music overlays at the landings. Quality of your stuff is great. Can’t image how much work it takes to edit all this. Thanks for the hard work look forward to your videos!

[@barrydraper]

Another great cross-country flight in the books!

[@jaydubmotorsportstm5629]

Great video niko. Hope you and your family had a great Christmas and New Years!! Your daughters radio call was priceless 👍🏼

[@NovejSpeed3]

Niko you are getting so good at your video editing. I cant wait to see what content you share with us in 2020. Another fantastic video as always.... By the way the Statue of Liberty episode was my favorite from you in 2019! Keep up the great work!!!

[@NikosWings]

Mine too

[@cchain3851]

Nikko great video !, you certainly can't deny your lovely daughter, she definitly is your spitting image🙏🏻👍

[@markrudnik2046]

Great job with that radio call, Zoe!! Better than Dad!

[@NikosWings]

For sure better than me

[@mikejw58]

Thanks again for sharing Niko. I believe you mentioned in one of your videos that you were going to do one on your home flight simulator set up and how you use it to benefit your real world flying, Would love to see that if you can. I'm just a real world renter and would love to get into simming just to keep mentally fresh. My problem is I always give up on the sim because it either doesn't seem realistic or something is acting screwy that I cant figure out. I know there are many real world pilots that use sims and I wish that I could learn to enjoy simming (ALMOST) as much as I enjoy real world flying. All the best to you and your family for all the enjoyment I get from these videos! Thanks!

[@NikosWings]

Soon when FS2020 is out

[@donemory7459]
