[@hockeyref8789]

Blaze. I am a 72 year old aviation geek and live halfway between AZA and MSC. I really enjoy the hard work u do but even more the incredibly hard work u did to get where u r at! Would love to meet u when u sometime fly into PHX or SCF. Keep up the good work.

[@westcoastflyer]

Thank you for watching! Hope to meet you in the near future!

[@RusscanFLY]

I imagine your parents are super proud of you! I can see them sitting back watching you do your thing, and then thinking to themselves, look at our baby boy up there flying us in this airplane. That is so awesome. Anyway, keep doing what you’re doing. Definitely awesome to see the vision jet in action! Fly well little brother!

[@westcoastflyer]

You are so kind, thank you for watching!

[@SouthwestVirtualPilot]

Hello Blaze, I'm a 16 year old aviation enthusiast I love sitting down and watching your videos with my friend on a discord call. They're very entertaining and fun to watch and I appreciate you and Flight Apprentice giving back to the community. This would be great timing for me as I'm going to my local AME to get my first class and start flight training. This would greatly benefit me, because I wouldn't have to pay hundreds of dollars for my ground school. I plan to go all the way up to ATP and I look up to you as an inspiration to be doing what your doing one day with my parents. I would also benefit from getting an early head start and training. Thanks Blaze for doing what you do keep uploading.

[@justaguy2356]

Good work man! Still amazed at how seasoned you look as a pilot at such a young age! Keep pushing man, love the videos!

I stumbled across your channel while looking for flight videos. I recently started my classes to get my PPL, with hopes of eventually working in the charter sector. I took my first discovery flight in a Cirrus just before COVID, but opted for training in a Cessna 172. When the pandemic hit, prices at the flight school I planned to attend skyrocketed. Fortunately, a few weeks ago, I found a more affordable option. Receiving free ground school will be a huge help, especially as a father of two-it’ll save me some money. One day, I hope to take my kids up in the air and inspire them to become future aviators.

Funny I came in to PHX in a PC12 for fuel. I stopped to take a picture of N12VJ and told my wife "I'd love to fly a vision jet". Fun to see the same plane on KZbin! great video.

You have a very good plane in the 12.

I have always been fascinated by airplanes, and I would really benefit from online flight school. Thank you.✈️✈️

Great videos, been out of flying for 20 years and have been inspired by your videos to jump back into starting next year out of KLVK! Thanks for the inspiration.

[@westcoastflyer]

Thank you for watching!

[@bixbypeterson1850]

I have been an aviation enthusiast since I was 6 yrs old, now 47. I have always wanted to be a private pilot, if for nothing else to check off another thing in life. I follow all sorts of aviation channels including your channel, CitationMax, BaronPilot, JRAviation on the flying side and StigAviation for the big metal maintenance stuff. In watching all of this has only fueled my need to want to pilot a plane and shuttle my friends and family around. I think it awesome to give away a ground school. As much as I would enjoy it, there are hundreds of deserving individuals who could benefit from such a giveaway. Thanks a ton for consideration and can’t wait to watch more of your great content.

[@MikeKobb]

Enjoyed this video very much! I actually watched it while airlining home from Phoenix after I had a maintenance issue on my plane at Scottsdale. 114°F when I was there. 🥵

[@colinkobel2868]

I am an old 73 yr old fella who has dreamed of being a pilot as long as I can remember. I am about to get a new hip installed in a couple weeks. I would really enjoy the class during my rehab time. I have been in the right seat several times, mostly in 172’s. At my age, I am leaning more toward a light sport aircraft. I just want to fly. God Bless!

[@westcoastflyer]

Thank you for watching! Wishing you a speedy recovery!

[@ghms1803]

This channel is one of the best ones… great quality and the way you share your content is amazing…. God bless you man.

Hi Blaze From Detroit here. That looked like some nice salads your dad was handling back there.😊 Loved the video looks like a great flight. You do wonderful job flying pal 👍🏼

[@jeremyspiekhout3041]

Hello Blaze! I’m about to retire from the Army after 22 years. Going to pursue my dream of becoming a pilot next spring! Nervous and excited! Love your video! Keep it up!

[@westcoastflyer]

Thank you for your service!

[@GrantGrove]

Nice flight and enjoyed your narrative. Never ending checklists seem to work well with glass. Vision Jet is a very nice platform.

[@terryblenkinsop8329]

Enjoy your flights immensely, and you are a very good pilot and I imagine your passengers would feel the same. Well done on your achievements so far. You have certainly sold me on the SF-50. I think the ease of flight for single pilot ops in the SF-50 once you are familiar with the avionics setup and the ergonomics of the flight deck far outweighs the slower climb out speed CF to other planes in similar class ie. 300kt turbo props and light jets. Thanks for sharing, keep the great content coming.

Great video as always. Awesome giveaway for upcoming pilots. I am in South Carolina not a pilot or training to be but love aviation and learning about it. Maybe one day it will come when the kids get older. Thanks again on to the next video 👍🏻

I’m 70, served in the US Air Force as an aircraft maintenance specialist and have been an aviation enthusiast all my life. Been flying the MSFS with the Bombardier (jet) at first, then moved up to the Citation CJ4. Would very much like close that loop by getting my PPC, and getting the ground school would be a good start.

[@윤케이-r1o]

Thanks for the great video. Watching your video, I just come up with when I was testing FAA checkride for instrument rating before. I had to shoot the ILS for MESA GATEWAY, I called phoenix approach for request, but they were so busy and no reply for me. I was noob and so nervous for the test, so I called phoenix approach again and again…. Then the examiner yelled at me ‘stop! stop it!’ ‘Oh my gosh, I am gonna give you up, do whatever you want…’. And no talk each other for moment… 😅. Anyway phoenix approach helped me after a couple of minute, and finally passed the test. Now I think of it, I feel very very very sorry to phoenix approach and the examiner….. phoenix approach was always kind even though so busy…. Sorry and thanks to phoenix approach…. 😅

[@westcoastflyer]

Thank you for watching! Congratulations!

Thanks for the heads up about Flight Apprentice. I will have to check it out. I am a PPL with a Piper Comanche at Glendale in PHX area. Getting ready to work on my IFR. I sent my son and my money to UND so that he could get all of his ratings. So now he has to repay this by helping me get my IFR and commercial! I will check out FA for the ground school. Keep up the good work. Enjoy your videos. Would love to see your bird sometime when you are down here.

[@anthonyvega1959]

Hi blaze, I came across this video and would like to be considered for the ground school. Back in 1990 I went to and graduated from aviation high school, life got in the way in a big way and never had the chance to start my journey. At the present time I have went from being 702lbs down to 320lbs. I have since got my life back under control. A few weeks ago I attended a BBQ fly-in and funny enough I won a raffle for a free 1 hour intro flight and have since been on that flight. My wife saw me take off and land and when I got off the plane it feels like in still in the air. I'm looking to take lessons as soon as possible

Love your videos. Heads up on the SF50 - the front landing gear has two lockout springs that can fall off causing collapse upon touchdown. Checking these is not part of the pre-check and Cirrus has not issued an AD.

Hey man ! Great video, keep the good work ! Question, what kind of GoPro mount you have up there in the windshield? Is it a regular suction cup? I’m a pilot my self and always struggle with suction cups not attaching long enough due to pressure changes but i see some guys using some different kinds of mounts, hence the question. Cheers from Mexico !

Truly inspired by your videos I found you recently and haven’t stopped watching the vids. You remind me so much of my cousin and I’m excited to get to meet you when you come into Redmond just followed flight apprentice. I think I would be a great candidate for your ground school giveaway. I did my preflight physical and my introductory flight on Oahu when I lived there nine years ago, but then life happened and then moved up here to Central Oregon now have a family of six.

Always enjoy the information you give us as well as the camera angles. I’m interested to know, what the flight time is for you, are you as a private jet able to use different routes than a commercial flight from Sacramento?, maybe more of a direct route?

Good morning Blaze. Just calling in from NZ. I'm approaching my 78th summer, but having had a heart event nearly 10 years ago, under our CAA rules, I'm unable to get a medical to fly again. And yet, I am able to still hold a truck license.! Go figure. Love your channel mate. Do you own the Vision Jet, or are you flying for a company.? I've subscribed to your channel, mainly because you keep your v.o to a minimum, and you seem to be able to edit out the ATC, while you're talking to the camera. Thank you. I don't know if NZ has any Vision jets active in our skies, but it would be cool to ride in one. Anyway, thanks for sharing. Great editing too. Atb from down under. Prov. 3:5-6

A couple of questions if you don't mind. What kind of climb rate were you seeing out of Sacramento up to 31K? I noticed that everyone in the cabin is using noise canceling headsets. Is the cabin quiet enough to get by without them or is the noise level high enough that they are required?
