Don't be camera shy Ted, The fans enjoy both pilot interactions. Be safe fellas

[@mikemaxwell2591]

I'd say Ted is a real professional and what a great career you both have. Hurt in the military stopped mine with vision impairment. Always our pleasure seeing two professionals on the job. Ha, ha flying with someone and riding in a vehicle way different for many ha, ha, ha. Good on you Ted.

[@markamos1964]

What a pleasure it is to watch your videos. The professionalism inside the cockpit and the relaxed, easy going nature once you're on the ground. FYI - Love Outback!

[@nicholasr82]

This is just something I'd never get to see, as in a day in the life of type of thing. Brilliant video and well edited.

[@boggy7665]

I also am fascinated with flight. Something as old as time & Wilbur Wright made an eloquent speech on the topic (to the Aero Club of France after his grand premier public demonstrations there) that I wish I could reproduce an excerpt from. (Was reproduced in full in David McCullough's book, but I gave my copy away.)

[@ymcairedellbball]

Love when you fly to Statesville. I used to work at the YMCA there when my wife and I lived in Hickory. I've eaten at that Outback. It amazes me that as much NASCAR plane traffic as Statesville gets that it's still an untowered airport.

[@LMays-cu2hp]

Thank you for sharing your trip here. So nice!!!

[@psjasker]

M&Ms -c’mon now. Haven’t you heard of caviar?😂

[@BaxterretxaB]

I fly out of SVH. Hate I missed bumping into you haha. Always enjoyed the content.

[@gstevens6948]

Flying with the Capt. again, oh yeah… ❤

[@IrishDave]

New videos from you are always a welcomed treat, really appreciate the work you put into them for our enjoyment.

[@gstevens6948]

Always a show stopper when Capt. Moonbeam takes the skies! ❤

[@firepilot109]

[@timber240]

Great video as always!

[@ProPilotPete]

NASCAR country, seemed quiet. That airport can get busy

[@jeromecannon8575]

Some familiar skies and voices going into Statesville. Not too far from us in Winston-Salem.

[@Martbrant]

Great to see you back in action Jimbo!

[@allenstanley5379]

Excellent videos as always

[@GainesMediaInc]

Great video Capt. .

[@johnrhodes6593]

Thanks for another great video!

[@TheCpage66]

When Statesville used to have their big hot air balloon show every year at the airport, we used to let folks park in my best buds front yard and charge $5 a car...miss those days. Great little airport there and really has grown with the NASCAR teams

[@captmoonbeam]

I think having the balloon show there would be fun. would love to see it.

[@TheCpage66]

Cap, There used to be a hot air balloon manufacturer there in Statesville...they started it and it was really big for quite a few years...I live in Australia now and was last back last July...I don't think they still do it. Loved the evening mass ascensions...

[@TheCpage66]

@captmoonbeam Well I'll be...I stand corrected... The Carolina Balloon Fest will be in October this year...!

[@flacodebuenosaires]

Wonderful !!!!👨🏼‍✈👨🏼‍✈🙋‍♂🙋‍♂👀👀🧿🧿👌👌

[@cashandvalues]

Feel always good after watching your videos 😀

[@sir_palma]

The Moonbeam rules!

[@brothersgrimmshow2496]

Love it.

[@Sailingairplanes]

Captain two videos in one week calls for a great week over here!!! Love when CMB is up on the living room TV.

[@captmoonbeam]

maybe be a 3rd one soon. I'm going for day two of this trip.

[@gustavoheberle6265]

Thanks for the great video, and beautiful ride ! Happy landings , gentleman !

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks Gustavo👍

[@bladerunner8482]

Fun to see that all XLS Jockeys got the same probs... Had to laugh seeing you refilling the toilet from inside as we also have to do all the time... 😂 And don't forget the coffee container... 🤣 Safe flights and happy landings! 🛫✈🛬

[@captmoonbeam]

I thought I had a good coffee plan. Unfortunately, the gas stations along our route back didn't open till 6:00. The FBO didn't open till later. When we left the Hotel I stopped by the coffee thermos in the lobby, opened it, emptied it into our pot and walked out. Maybe I should make a true confessions video.

[@ChrisB257]

Thanks Jim - enjoyable video.

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks Chris

[@ah244895]

Looks like fun.

[@45searay]

Excellent Video….

[@johndemerse9172]

Coffee Jim, the nectar of the gods! Great video as always. Cheers from CYYB.

[@captmoonbeam]

I have to confess I'm a coffee lover

[@jeremykhoward]

Hey, sometimes we like to acknowledge people we know and see often! That was me on 128.1. Didn't realize how clearly the "tree" comes through on your end of the radio.

[@captmoonbeam]

Hi Jeremy. Thanks for the shout out it, even though I'm awkward and don't know what to say, it made my day. I'm so used to being called "Niner Uniform," Jim or Moonbeam is always a surprise. If your ever out at SUS look me up.

[@THELIFEOFPRICE]

Im not usual citation fan but thats a beautiful plane ya got there =D

[@Dolphinvet]

I like the dual GTN750's, that's what I have in my plane. Hard to change frequencies via touch screen when it's bumpy, I see Capt. Jim uses the knob method.

[@rizzodefrank]

I’ve actually found knobbing easier than typing Freqs there’s a joke in there ha

[@MuzixMaker]

Yeah the UIs were designed by people sitting in a cubical

[@mitsnevets]

looked like Ted greased that landing love the channel and always look fwd to new content Thanks Jim !

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks😎

[@treyfeeley2519]

You weren't far from me at Statesville!

[@chrislovett6120]

Great content. Statesville is local to me so that’s kind of cool

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks Chris

[@goldfishhhification]

"Plenty of MMs....".... hahah!

[@denault3985]

Even your older aircraft are in great shape.

[@cjrp0]

Love that you can be on a private jet, sipping gas-station coffee 😁 Enjoy the videos, please keep em coming

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks CJR will do

[@rizzodefrank]

I can run my car on airport coffee

[@mcraft2240]

I love these videos, and I’m jealous of the travel, but not I’m not jealous of the the food choices. Outback?? Ugh.. Try some local stuff captain.

[@MuzixMaker]

1:15 who says professional aviation has lost the romance?

[@DrBlood-cq2cm]

Got my private license at Parks back in the 80s. Used to fly archers out of SUS. Fun times.

[@captmoonbeam]

My first trip to the Saint Louis area was flying 135 trip in a Beech Duchess (BE-76)

[@MotoLen51]

Next time he asks for the yaw "dampener", throw a glass of water on his rudder pedals. ;-)

[@captmoonbeam]

That's pretty funny😀

[@jamestyner227]

Got a death grip on that yoke...

[@leemail857]

Any chance to explain to the Ted, there is a thing called a yaw DAMPER...NOT!!!! Yaw dampener. For godsakes! No soup for you.

[@clayton4115]

wow so quiet in the cab, cannot hear the engines.

[@aircampilot8025]

outback steak always good as are your videos

[@cl65captain]

Is this an old video, pretty sure that’s me taxing in ER.

[@prereed]

A short response could be “Keep the blue side up” or just “blue side up”. Its a trade mark of yours. Shamelessly used in my circles.

[@dalemullins4562]

does anyone actually use those heads?

[@matsfrisk3653]

👍

[@dryerflyer]

How much would this trip cost with fuels, fees, pilots, etc?

[@deanthakid9803]

Whats the beeeeeep sound,

[@CaptainOscarLosada]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@user-id5qu2ok9s]

I take that back it is a XL

[@dennismassie3552]

👋🏻KSRQ☀️🌴🇺🇸🛩

[@Design_no]

Would love you to do a video on some of the recent air incidents and your opinions on the "impossible turn" engine failure after takeoff.

[@user-id5qu2ok9s]

That's not an XL
