Cessna 182 flight from Wichita, KS to Ruston, LA | Visited Janis' Dad - Ate Johnny's Pizza & Trapp's

[@chuckhalen9543]

Beautiful flight. Just found your channel. Great piloting by you both. Looking forward to more content. And, congratulations on passing 500 hours. Huge accomplishment. Greetings from Shreveport, KSHV.

[@Parr4theCourse]

Thanks we appreciate it…. I grew up in Bossier City!!

[@janisparr8592]

Thanks for watching! Hope we’ll continue to have content you enjoy.

[@v3ctor17]

My wife and I have been watching you two for years and we love your content and style. As it happens, we made an impulsive trip to Branson this past weekend and since we were "in the neighborhood", we took the opportunity to fly our C172XP into KAAO this afternoon. I had to smile when I pulled up the ASOS and heard the now-familiar familiar preamble: "Colonel James Jabara Airport...". Thanks for the positive example that you set for general aviation and keep up the good work!

[@Parr4theCourse]

Oh wow…. Love it, I would have said let us know and we will meet up with you, but we are sailing in Tahiti/Bora-Bora for the next couple of weeks….. But give us a heads up next time! What area do y’all fly out of???

[@v3ctor17]

@@Parr4theCourse Thanks for your quick response. We were hoping that you were having a good time somewhere! Seriously, this was a completely random and unplanned trip (except for the thorough weather briefing and check of the NOTAMs!). We will be here until Tuesday morning and then will return to KLEX, but now that we know how to get here, I'm certain we'll be back! BTW, let us know if you two are ever in central KY, too!

[@Parr4theCourse]

@ Been that way a couple of times, pretty area!!!

[@janisparr8592]

Next time let us know you’re stopping in! We’ll run out to meet you. (I might even have a few cookies to share!) Thanks for watching.

[@chuckmartin5773]

I did a lot of training out of Augusta, actually did my first solo out of there over 23 years ago! Looks like they even made it longer!

[@Parr4theCourse]

I got my PPL at Augusta and yes they filled in the pond at the end of the old runway and lengthened it as well, past the road that ran East/West

[@janisparr8592]

The weather wasn’t good when they first reopened it after all the renovations. We look forward to going over and landing.

[@kevincollins8014]

It's so nice to get to see y'all travel down there as often as you do. I have absolutely no doubt Janis's father enjoys the company. Congratulations reaching 500 flight hours Ron! I'm sorry to see you had trouble with your aircraft but glad you got it repaired fairly quickly. Johnny's Pizza looks so good! As always thank you both for taking the time to bring us along on your adventures.

[@Parr4theCourse]

We enjoy the visits too! And thanks for watching! We chalk up the plane issue to Divine Intervention!

[@janisparr8592]

So glad we are able to fly to visit Daddy. Makes the trip a lot easier!

[@mustanggearhed]

Thanks for showing the reality of general aviation. We don’t always get to go when we want to. Glad it’s only on occasion, and that it was an easy fix. Congratulations on 500 hours!!

[@Parr4theCourse]

Yea, it’s rare that we have an issue, this one and a flat tire once other than that we’ve been pretty reliable on our schedules…. Thanks 4 watching and yea the 500 was a nice milestone… Hope all is well your way…. Have a Blessed Day!!!

[@janisparr8592]

Fortunately, it’s pretty rare for us. But it’s always frustrating to have to change plans.

[@jeffault6728]

Congrats on the 500 hours it is an accomplishment for sure. I enjoyed this week's adventure. Thanks for taking us along for the ride. We booked our weekend at the Hanger Hotel. And I have been thinking about a weekend in Shreveport sometime soon. There are several restaurants there that I like.

[@Parr4theCourse]

Keep me posted on the Hangar Hotel and what y’all think about it…. Shreveport is my old stomping grounds!!!

[@janisparr8592]

I’d like to hear about the Hangar Hotel too. There are some great restaurants around Shreveport and we liked the downtown airport.

[@treysaulters5422]

Glad I saw this today. Gonna order some Johnny’s now! Loved the video

[@Parr4theCourse]

It’s the best!!!

[@janisparr8592]

Eat some for us!

Good morning I’ve never craved Johnny’s at 0700 hahaha Congrats on the 500 hours. I’m at the 300 hour mark myself

[@Parr4theCourse]

Thanks for watching and we sure hope so!!!

[@janisparr8592]

Thanks, James!

[@Andre.D550]

You might find my comment strange but there was a divine reason you had problems with your plane. You were grounded for a reason and were then able to resume your trip safely later. Congratulations with the 500hrs. 😎

[@Parr4theCourse]

Nope not strange at all….. We figured GOD had a hand in it, and at first we were disappointed, but in the grand scheme of things it all worked out, we always default to divine intervention….

[@janisparr8592]

We ALWAYS look at it that way! It’s frustrating and annoying to change plans but you can’t let it ruin your day.

[@ProPilotPete]

Congrats on the 500 hour mark. I believe there are some statistics that say you’re most dangerous from the 200-500 mark, I guess due to complacency. You’ve made it over the hump! Keep up the good record, I vote for a bigger or faster plane!

[@paratyshow]

👍✅ I'm with you Pete, bigger and faster. Lets spend Ron's $$$🤣👏

[@BrittneeDrummer]

No it’s 2500 hours

[@Parr4theCourse]

You contributing to the fund??? 🤣😂

[@dougallen4621]

Enjoy your videos. What year is your aircraft? Is foreflight on your iPad connected to your G1000 via Bluetooth? If not how are you getting foreflight radar and traffic in the air? Thanks

[@Parr4theCourse]

Thanks we appreciate it…. It’s a 2004. ForeFlight is connected via ADS-B I get NEXRAD on the G1000, we haven’t decided for sure if we want SirrusXM or not… Thanks 4 watching!!!

[@dougallen4621]

I have a 2015 182T with G1000. I cannot get my foreflight iPad to connect with the G1000. Any help would be appreciated Thanks

[@Parr4theCourse]

@ We installed a GTX-345 69B5 You may have one go to your Bluetooth settings on your iPhone/iPad when the planes avionics is on and see if it pops us as a choice….

[@ProPilotPete]

Was it the ADC? Ours went out in the Baron. Lasted about 7 years

[@Parr4theCourse]

AHRS failed and they replaced it pretty quickly

[@embossed64]

When I was a student at La Tech in Ruston, one of my friends was in the aviation program, he used to take me up with him, we would split the cost of a rental. This was in 1982, wasnt that expensive and I shutter to think what it costs today.

[@Parr4theCourse]

Yea, it’s gone up a bit since then!! It’s priced a lot of potential pilots out from even starting! Appreciate you watching/commenting! Have a blessed 2025!!

[@planeanddirtsimple]

Enjoyed it! Congratulations on 500 hours! Remember us poor pilots that don’t get to sail around the world……and have to eat store bought cookies😢

@ Yea most likely the DJI cameras which have a red light

[@SantosChronicles]

Oh man, I get stressed when my camera isn’t working - can’t imagine your plane. Your view from the top is way different than our road trip views. I’m waiting for you guys to have your own Air Force Parr!!! You guys need some Deep Dish Pizza - that would be different.

Yep you know that feeling all too well well….

Don’t think that was us as we’re currently in Tahiti 😅😂🤣 But we may make it down that way DM your contact info and what I do is make you a waypoint at the nearest airport and if we’re in the area we make an attempt to stop in, we’ve managed to to pull it off several times….
