STUCK IN DENVER AIRPORT! Cessna Citation Flight to Hayden Colorado , Pilot Vlog 144

[@vanallen9453]

...thanks again Capt...re-watching yet one more of your always-classic videos..on this all -too- early Daylight Saving Time... Sunday morning coming down.....

[@gabrielkatz9239]

Another great video Captain! I especially enjoyed the time-lapse of the descent into Hayden. I looked up the tail number of the jet you saw in Hayden and it's a Bombardier Global Express. A very long range biz-jet.

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks. Great looking airplane

[@tomwest]

Great video from you and Mike as always! Loved the footage of the two planes reversing in tandem (or at least it seemed!) in Denver. Thanks again!

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks Tom.

[@BadKarmaSCC]

I envy you for your F/O such an easy going guy to fly with it seems.

[@captmoonbeam]

He's a great guy to fly with.

[@AdamLoya]

Excellent video as always! Really enjoyed the still pan shot while you were in the flat escalator. Oh and fantastic music!

[@captmoonbeam]

thanks Adam. I liked that part also.

[@tangodeltawhiskey6825]

Yes to all the above.

[@angleofattack]

You are awesome man. Keep up the great content. One of my fave, most genuine aviation channels. Just a guy doing his thing.

[@captmoonbeam]

+Angle of Attack thanks, that's very kind of you

[@AndrewBig1966]

great tracking shot at Denver Airport

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks Andrew.

[@belugaburritosupreme207]

From a filming standpoint, that B-roll is superb, I'm willing to say the best yet. Awesome video.

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks, i'm trying to get better.

[@TJMaloneWx]

Next time you are in the Denver airport and have time for a meal, check out the Colorado Sports Bar & Grill, near gate B30. I had the best chili-cheese dog of my life there. Their other food is good too, but the chili-cheese dog is top notch.

[@captmoonbeam]

thanks for the info TJ.

[@josephgoss1013]

Enjoyed flying with you as usual. I find your commentary very enjoyable. Loved the clouds, the window dressing of the heavens.

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks Joseph. I appreciate that.

[@rkablau]

When you look at video's on youtube sometimes you come accross a channel you havent seen before and subscribe just because, then it turns out to be great. Really like the vids, keep them comming!

[@captmoonbeam]

thanks.

[@living4christ]

Been a while since I have been to Denver airport. If I recall right its rustic looking with a lot of cool shops and bars.

[@garycalhoon5148]

I used to live in Steamboat, which is 25 miles from Hayden. I still have family that lives there. Been to Hayden many times.

[@captmoonbeam]

It's a beautiful area.

[@Airforceproud95]

Beautiful. Loving these vlogs.

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks. Enjoyed your barnstorming through the Hanger.

[@julietsierra6818]

just realized I'm not commenting how much I enjoy what you have been sharing (AND editing! )with us. Through the process of renewing my ppl after years lapsing your wonderful videos keep me company. Thank you so much! (edit) ps...if it´s any comfort, watching, the fun does NOT wear off :)

[@captmoonbeam]

thanks Juliet. I appreciate the kind comment.

[@captmoonbeam]

Ooops, my bad. Just realized you're probably aren't a Juliet.

[@julietsierra6818]

lol, no just my initials there, good catch though :)

[@77Danny]

I flew on the United E-175 in July, very nice aircraft

[@brianbarker4739]

Another fun day flying. Well, at least part of a day.

[@captmoonbeam]

thanks Brian.

[@dlovett1771]

Thanks for sharing your experience! First time commenting... I think your spirit about the whole thing kept you from going into madness. Cheers to you and your wife, who is able to put up with your daily chaos (adventure).

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks D. I think it helps that I like airports and love watching airplanes.

[@colingeorgeh]

I was afraid you had called it quits. I was missing the friendly sky. You have a great job, thanks for sharing.

[@captmoonbeam]

thanks Colin. No, I just get busy off and on. Makes it hard to be consistent. I'm putting up another ATC video tomorrow.

[@paulwhitear4983]

Another excellent video again. Hayden looked like a place in the middle of know where. The flight from Denver look liked it had seen better days. Look forward to the next one.

[@captmoonbeam]

It's not a job, it's an adventure. Thanks Paul.

[@ricogerard]

Great music on this one. Always a fun watch. That Excel is sweet and your cheese burger looked delicious!

[@captmoonbeam]

Good music, a great looking airplane and a great cheeseburger. What more can I ask for.

[@sailsailsailsailsail]

There are a lot of NEFs on that last plane and clearly a MEL on the fuel.

[@darryldarling4880]

Most definitely Captain, fly safe.

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks Darryl.

[@ManchusTech]

It's always good to see a captmoonbeam video in my sub box.

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks.

[@_ibrahima_bah]

Me too

[@ChrisMuncy]

Good evening Jim. Looks like you had a flight similar to how my day/evening at the office is going. Hang in there.

[@captmoonbeam]

You just gotta roll with it.

[@justin21241]

Hey hey! It was nice to see my old stomping grounds on B concourse at Denver. I use to be a fueler there some 4 years. That very fuel truck was the one I would drive around pumping gas into all those CRJ's. Great vid! I've had my fair share of over wings to.

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks. I happy I brought back those memories.

[@ChrisB257]

First time in Haydon perhaps - seemed a nicely appointed airport... flight to there looked good conditions. I've been to Denver - huge airport... only trouble with airport concessions is - they are darned pricey! Your lunch looked good though. Then 5 hours there - holy smokes, one hour is enough in those places! Killing time never great and then - wait for fuel truck - been there and done that. Another good video Jim :) Another trip sequence done.

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks Chris. That's what happens when you can't leave and get a meal somewhere else.

[@jasonmcmillan6598]

Love the Routt County Region- I am from Craig just 15 minutes west. Steamboat Springs is probably the final destination for your passengers.

[@captmoonbeam]

That was their final destination. Very pretty area

[@theundertaker7447]

I enjoy so much watching your videos, You are a professional and it shows, I would feel safe flying with you. Keep up the great work. Thanks from Houston, Texas, We just went through Hurricane Harvey all is good here finely.

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks. Glad to hear you made it through.

[@GainesMediaInc]

Another great one Jim. Thanks for the 170 footage.

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks.

[@ChrisMuncy]

After seeing a comment below about the torn seat, I wanted to mention that you and Mike keep N2Q absolutely spotless. Even the IFD/MFD's are dust free and spotless. No signs of wear are to be seen.

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks Chris. Gotta keep it shiny.

[@CollinW93]

I saw that Elway restaurant when I was in the Denver airport. Looked pretty good but it was closed when I was there at night. Hope you're staying safe this weekend with the St. Louis stuff going on. All good here in Plainfield.

[@captmoonbeam]

I'm in Napa about to head that way.

[@mark6121]

Waiting just suuuuuucks! I never knew the mighty CRJ (sarcasm) had over the wing fueling. WOW

[@captmoonbeam]

the aircraft had been sitting there and we were delayed. I guess they were short on fuel trucks.

[@seoceancrosser]

The good ole moving sidewalk shot. I like it!!

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks.

[@barrysmith5306]

Another great video Jim too bad you had the long wait in Denver but still looked like a pretty smooth day for you thanks for sharing.

[@captmoonbeam]

It wasn't too bad.

[@call911forcookies2]

This was such a great video lol i like the panoramic shot on the moving walkway with all the ppl

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks.

[@nicktheav8r269]

Nicely done, liked the music. When I was Denver based always heard there was a gym in the terminal, never used it myself.

[@captmoonbeam]

I never heard that. Wonder if it's true.

[@nicktheav8r269]

I was working for Great Lakes at the time and there is no way they would provide a gym just for us pilots; but it might be an airport employee only thing, it was outside security if I remember right.

[@777driver7]

Hey Jim, yep the frustration of hanging around the airport never gets old! I don't envy you flying domestically in the US...that's a special kind of torture I try and avoid at all costs, keep up the good work, I even thought I heard N2Q recently on frequency as we headed north near Memphis on our way back to the Middle East.

[@captmoonbeam]

The worst flights are on the CRJ's. Hope you had a good trip.

[@doccolorado]

Next time your here in Denver for extended wait time, take the light rail to Union Station downtown Denver, great place for eats, desert, coffee/bakery, (pubs-beer, steak etc), 35-40 mins....don't read the news about that light rail breaking down all the time though! (A LINE)...

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks for the info Danny.

[@clarkh4130]

Congrats on 28.000 subs, that's impressive, keep them coming

[@captmoonbeam]

I didn't realize I was there till I saw you comment. Thanks.

[@PilotArt]

I'm "stuck" in Denver as well for training for my first Part 135 job :-)

[@captmoonbeam]

Hey Arthur. Hope your training goes well.

[@PilotArt]

captmoonbeam So far so good! Love the videos!

[@nashguy207]

I used to fly into hayden a couple of times a year back in the mid to late 80's to early 90's i used to go to steamboat a couple of times a year snow skiing. Looks like it hasn't grown much terminal looked pretty much the same.

[@captmoonbeam]

It was a bigger terminal than I expected.

[@nashguy207]

IN the winter it gets pretty busy with flights people going skiing . Not sure about now days but I used to fly non stop nashville to chicago then non stop chicago to hayden on american one time flying in there weather was horrible snowing and windy was the pilots first trip into the hayden airport had to abort first 2 attempts to land finally got it down on 3rd attempt but it was a very hard landing but like I said weather was really bad

[@charlessallinger1005]

Thank you for your quick answer. That makes since to me......it's his airplane and his money. I am a 79 year old private pilot, SEL (since 1960). Thank God I'm still able to pass my medical. I really enjoy your more mature outlook only flying...keep it up. Wish you made more trip to Europe. The best of flying to you and yours.

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks Charles. Maybe one day i'll get to Europe.

[@deemad2180]

I know flying sounds glamorous but wow!

[@captmoonbeam]

+Dee Man it has its occaisional down side

[@stevegardner8365]

OMG! Overwing fueling. Guess the single point was not working. Used to be a fueled for 18+ years. That is never fun lol.

[@captmoonbeam]

Not a fun job.

[@tomcintheuk8370]

Getting really creative on the cuts Capt great vid & thx

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks.

[@MCRD2211]

Another fine video from the Captain! Thanks!!

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks.

[@timol437]

Looking at the weird art in Denver airport is always a good time killer....

[@captmoonbeam]

Great place for people watching.

[@timol437]

(LOL) ANY airport is a a stage for what I call "Airport Theater!"

[@escade2]

Really enjoyed the music in this video capt

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks wake.

[@brianmcgee115]

hope the craziness in STL doesn't spread out to your neck of the woods! hope you and your family are safe..

[@captmoonbeam]

thanks Brian. I think it's starting to settle down.

[@TVaughan667]

Your experiences flying back commercial are a great advertisement for the private charter segment. Was that second plane used by the US Marshals for prisoner transports?

[@captmoonbeam]

it looked like it.

[@toolowgo]

This was a great one captain! Great song!!

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks.

[@97I30T]

Loved the view of MCI!

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks

[@msnpassjan2004]

Wonder if you will ever run out of fun facts Captain ! I've been trying to figure out how to ask this question without sounding like a smartass.... @0:12 is the Ice Detection Light just a $400 flashlight to manually look for ice or is there more tech to it? I ask because I see some videos where the pilot gets some alert about icing on the wings from the console, and some in smaller planes where they just look at the wing. Not sure were the XLS stands on ice tech. Thanks again for all the vids and especially all the replies !

[@captmoonbeam]

It's just a light for inspecting the wing at night in icing conditions. I some jet have sensor for detecting ice accumulation.

[@helgach9086]

as always a good vid. keep d camera rolling and keep flying high

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks Helga.

[@ding0925]

Living The Life...

[@dave991122]

Another great video of the exciting and oft romantic life of a corporate pilot. (Luved the slo-mo) Good study in friction too.

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks David. I was inspired for that one.

[@MachSpeed767]

Another awesome video Capt! I've been a sub for a while now and still look forward to your vids.

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks Machspeed. I appreciate your support.

[@MarcusLeepapi]

Hehehehe... I have sat in Denver International so many times... Our, the Denver base for United is big there. And yes, I have walked B concourse so many times....There is a cool Mexican place there about low (B's) area. Near B25 or 26...Great food there...But anyway you and your fellow pilot had a great day...You two fly safe....

[@captmoonbeam]

Hi Marcus. I enjoy the people watching and and walk the concourses for exercise.

[@MarcusLeepapi]

Hehehehe...I hear you!!! Yeah, Denver International, San Francisco International (SFO) and Washington DC (Dulles International) are some walking airports on the commercial side of flying. Sometimes I use to get tired before I get to the aircraft...Yes, people watching and great food spots in airports... Yes, life of crew members in this industry.... Fly safe always...

[@smittysmith3227]

Nice one again Jim" Thank you

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks.

[@AndrewTubbiolo]

Thumbs up on Elway's. I just ate there last month after slumming it on a Frontier flight. 8) Great shot on the moving walkway, excellent capture of people being themselves. And crazy to see that E-170 had no radar under the radome. How does it see stay clear of Soviet MiG's if they can't see 'em? Crazy!

[@jonathanknight89]

Andrew Tubbiolo pause the video and look. Radar dish is clearly visible.

[@AndrewTubbiolo]

Indeed! I see it now. Thanks!

[@captmoonbeam]

Second time I've eaten there. It's a little pricey but the burger was great.

[@khunopie9159]

The movie 'Things To Do In Denver Airport When You're Dead' springs to ind

[@captmoonbeam]

I watched the trailer. Now I see what you mean.

[@gmfurnald9219]

Have you tried the Rocky Mountain Oysters out in Denver Captain. I never had the balls to try them.

[@captmoonbeam]

No, I've always passed.

[@darryldarling4880]

Hey Captmoonbeam I am so sorry that not only where you stuck in Denver for six hours, but you finally made your flight and they stuck you in nose bleed section of the plane with ripped seats and water spilled in your lap. I pray that your next flight back on the airlines is more enjoyable and that they bump you up to first class free of charge.

[@captmoonbeam]

One of these days I'm gonna make it to first class. Hope I see you up there Darryl.

[@MarcusLeepapi]

Looking very cool and nice...

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks Marcus, have a good weekend.

[@kushie14]

You should have gotten some shots of the creepy murals inside the airport.

[@captmoonbeam]

I should have.

[@igormeloeueu]

Well done cap, your videos quality just keep increasing (:

[@captmoonbeam]

thaks Igor.

[@jackvisser]

What a Great Video and as Usual TYVM

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks jack.

[@46rambo49]

great fixed base, too bad no FS anymore so you can get your weather on your phone instead of somebody actually there.

[@captmoonbeam]

things have changed a lot haven't they.

[@46rambo49]

yeah they have, family members in FS aren't sure you flyboys are as safe due to changes, and the latest kerfuffle over controllers testing changes and fully qualified folks being turned away over other candidates being accepted for completely unrelated issues FAA is in hot water at the moment

[@robertwondrak2732]

Another great Video thank you. Been a fan for sometime, however my first comment. Regards from Oxford UK.

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks Robert.

[@flyguyconor]

As soon as I heard "over the wing", I knew it was gonna be a while. Those planes have a single fuel point; why didn't they use it?

[@captmoonbeam]

I would guess it was broken.

[@AndrewSLlewellyn]

Great music this time! Keep up the great videos!

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks Lou.

[@joanborger702]

Enjoyed your video. Very well done.

[@captmoonbeam]

thanks Joan.

[@jonbarski938]

i like... keep em coming..

[@NoelJacobs]

I can't imagine how many times you've had to explain to people what you're doing and/or what you do.

[@NoelJacobs]

Also these vlogs just get better, we appreciate all the work that goes into it Jim!

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks Noel. Most of the time no one ask.

[@mx1man]

Great video. Nice plane huh. Love the shots of the torn seat cushions. Oh boy. Was that your partners seat?

[@captmoonbeam]

No, he was sitting in front.

[@captmoonbeam]

No, it was his seat on that flight.

[@jonbarski938]

what a lift..

[@19brandon66]

with all the delay, they could have sent someone out to reupholster that ratty looking seat. :-) Great video...

[@captmoonbeam]

I was very surprised to see that.

[@georgeharrison9012]

Some teething child or a shark in transport to Orlando.

[@bkelley4443]

That looked like a GoJet aircraft

[@1410yaniel]

Good video Capt!!!

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks Yaniel.

[@SRiggle56]

Over the wing fueling! What kind of an operation are they running?!

[@AlecFlying]

Hey you should go on a pilot to pilot podcast.

[@captmoonbeam]

I think one day I'll do a live stream.

[@escade2]

captmoonbeam live stream!

[@clarkmckee4700]

Any word on the next Air Show at Spirit Of St Louis?

[@captmoonbeam]

I heard they'll definitely be having one in 2018 but, I don't know the date

[@andrews640]

Very nice video. One of your best

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks Andrew.

[@SR-cp1eo]

What would happen if say, I saw you at an airport and said hi? I fly United all the time and Denver is a common stop.

[@captmoonbeam]

I'd say hi.

[@kk3jst]

Another great video, thanks.

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks.

[@Pilotfarmand]

Why do you have those extremely complicated 2 staged stairs for boarding in USA ? I've only seen them in USA, never in Europe.

[@JimConnelley]

Ramps for access. Required in US.

[@tangodeltawhiskey6825]

And, it's a very small airport. No reason for a jet-way

[@Pilotfarmand]

Derek Thomas In Europe they just use the aircrafts stairs.

[@LtKernelPanic]

Safer than stairs and allow for wheel chair access to the plane.

[@hectormuzquiz5277]

😂😄 Ahhh this video was great!...greetings Capt.!

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks Hector.

[@wb6she]

Good video as usual...question if you have time, what's the biggest aircraft you have flown?...

[@captmoonbeam]

thanks. A Gulfstream III.

[@bigd-1-channel514]

I am a bit lost, Why hire a charter to fly to Craig, then leave the A/C at Craig, and pay for you all to fly back to STL? I mean, Why not just fly to Craig Vi UAL in the first place. Another good video.

[@sailsailsailsailsail]

Mr DDD3az why would you mess with air travel? It's clear the owners enjoy the private jet experience and use it. In many of this guys videos you will see him waiting for the passengers, or the passengers change their time. That's the advantage of private aircraft. If you fly commercial there is no direct flight and you have to use the airlines schedules, the plane will also not wait for you. If the owner can afford it, more power to him. Sometimes the corp pilots will wait with the aircraft at the FBO or go to a hotel. But I'm guessing the owner (or the guy chartering) is going to be in Colorado for a few days. At that point it may be cheaper to fly the pilots home instead of paying for a hotel. The pilots may have other jets to fly back in STL as well. If they purchase fuel in Colorado the ramp fees may not be that bad.

[@pedc]

Wish the vlogs were longer

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks, I'm trying to get there.

[@ragidyymann5109]

Hey Cap, another solid video. Quick question, you may have answered this before so my apologies for asking again, but why fly private as opposed to working for the airline? Thanks and all the best.

[@captmoonbeam]

it's hard to take the pay cut to sit in the right seat.

[@conrad6598]

2014 bombardier be 700

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks.

[@ucha1110]

Thx!

[@Windtee]

BD-700 Global.

[@scottamolinari]

Holy crap. If the seats look like that, what do the inside of the engines look like, which you can't see? That is just pathetic. What airline was that? I'll be sure to avoid them for sure.

[@scottamolinari]

Ah. Ok. United and Sky West. Great vid btw. :)

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks. That last flight might have been Gojets.

[@scottamolinari]

Ok. Avoid Gojets. Check!

[@charlessallinger1005]

Been watching you for several weeks now and have a question about several of your flight to different places. You seem to take a passenger or multiple passengers to locations (Haden, CO or Nassau) and you leave the a/c there and catch commercial back home. Why not drop the passenger off and return the a/c to home or stay there a few days? Cheaper to fly commercial than to put hours on the a/c you are flying on the trip, maybe? Thanks

[@captmoonbeam]

The difference in cost is thousands of dollars and sometimes I'm leaving it with the owner who will often keep the airplane in case he wants to fly it. Sometimes when he's in Florida he'll fly it to dinner in another city.

[@whowantsachannel1983]

You've probably answered this before but I didn't see/hear it. When the planes were pushing back and heading to the runway, was this done in post production by speeding up normal speed video or was it done in the go pro as a time-lapse (video?)? I just recently purchased a go pro and have not tried time-lapse yet. Thanks for the videos. Enjoy riding along.

[@captmoonbeam]

thanks, I was just taking normal video and speeding it up during editing.

[@olliehouse9459]

Great video captain👌🏻

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks.

[@CaliCash11]

Great video as always!

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks.

[@haraldlorentzen40]

Nice video. Speaking of twin jets like the CRJ series, are you certified to fly something like that?

[@captmoonbeam]

No I'm not.

[@JoeSmith-nu8oo]

I know you were just dying for them to come over the PA asking,Is there anyone who knows how to fly a plane! LOL

[@captmoonbeam]

Joe, all I want is a seat in first class one day. In a plane that does have first class.

[@curtisccr]

Heard N2Q with Norcal this afternoon. Were you coming out of one of the Sacramento airports?

[@captmoonbeam]

Hi Curtis. We were going into Napa. There now waiting for our passengers.

[@curtisccr]

captmoonbeam Oh. I thought I heard norcal hand you off to Oakland, so I thought you were leaving town. Safe flight home tonight. Be sure to tell Mike, this one IS Napa, not Yampa. LOL
