Flying 15 Hrs in 1 Day - Electrical Issues, Falcon Heavy & Apollo 8

We flew the Bonanza 2,000+ miles in one day to see the most exciting rocket launch since 1968. Air traffic was insane.

I've been flying since I was 16 and at age 19 flew around the world by myself in the same 1981 A36 Beechcraft Bonanza I still fly, becoming the youngest person ever to solo circumnavigate by aircraft.
Now, I'm sharing all kinds of aviation adventures with YOU! Ride along as we explore the world from the air and get a close up look at some of aviation's best flight experiences and destinations.

"We can outclimb most everybody here".... can you outclimb Falcon Heavy tho 🤔😂

[@PSeneca10]

Huh!! You got four MIT Aerospace engineers on board and you can't collectively find a voltage problem on a GA aircraft?

[@slow5203]

"367hp we'd like to change our destination" "Oh yeah? Why" "They have a tgif deal open till 1:30"

[@bobshaw4063]

Cracked me up so much as well. I thought at first that Matt was kidding about going to TGI Friday's LOL !!

[@Ailrent]

Oh my god. That made me laugh, congrats

[@Cherokee140Pilot]

Also, I am always amazed at how many "pilots" complain in the comments about not seeing checklists being used. Really? It's called, wait for it... "Editing". Wow. Great video!

[@Tom-ih8gr]

CherokeePilot or just learn the checklists 🤷‍♂️

No, you should always use the checklist, even if you know it.

[@willhazen9507]

WMU and most flight schools want you to do the checklist as a memory item without looking at it, with exceptions for Before Land and Runup, which we run through on the FMS after doing by memory. All depends on how you were taught.

[@jcheck6]

When you do it from memory it is call flows check.

[@jamesdonaldson-webster6079]

Came straight from the Instagram post showing it was live, but only 360p is processed, will be back later to watch in higher res - looking forward to it!

[@mattguthmiller]

KZbin f***ed up, I've reached out to see if they can fix it on their end (it was definitely uploaded in 4K), so hopefully it'll be 4K by tonight...

[@jamesdonaldson-webster6079]

Thanks - it is no problem, I am sure it will be worth the wait!

[@Recovering_Californian]

hmmm...still at 360. Shouldn't take this long. Wonder if he made a mistake in uploading.

[@mattguthmiller]

It's fixed! Apparently just the world's slowest HD encode.

[@Santabarbarachocolate]

Your videos are a bunch of fun. The personal engagement, fun cutaways, production value beyond a static panel display and smart editing for content make your videos way more valuable to spend the time to watch. Thank you for taking us along as passengers.

[@AlfieDeyes]

Loved this video Matt

[@mattguthmiller]

Thanks Alfie! Still waiting for you to start taking some flying lessons 😉

[@courttower51]

When you can land like that show me!I don’t have a blog!

[@courttower51]

87MPH WINDS OFF MT WASHINGTON! 35 45MPH Gusts

[@fendant123]

Thanks so much to you and your friends for sharing the experience! Great to watch!

[@angrytwizzlers4039]

Is there a way you could edit the atc volume down when it’s not related to you? Not complaining about your video, it’s just these old ears can’t hear what your saying when everyone is talking at the same time. Thanks for the vijeo Matt!

[@TheFinerPoints]

Nice job catching the bad clearance Matt. I hate it when they do that and it's fairly common. You can't go direct from an airway!

[@maesc2001]

US clearances are so long anyway. In Europe you’ll typically get like cleared destination flight plan route via SID when airborne contact xyz squawk so and so cleared for takeoff. All the rest comes as you come along, mostly direct to. Period. US ATC services are way better though.

[@okedoke1234]

Matt I'm an Aerospace Engineer, Penn State class of 1986, great to see young folks get so excited about aerospace and rockets. That was a really cool perspective from your aircraft......

[@Turner9090]

This is like the coolest aviation video ever

[@Aviation101]

Great video Matt!

[@Cherokee140Pilot]

Change the route for TGIF?? LOL. I have been laughing all day. Too funny!

[@Zomeone]

What is tgif stands for ?

[@Zomeone]

What is tgif stands for ?

[@BrucevanZyl]

Excellent! Even watching 3 years later 👏

[@mrsir9616]

Awesome to watch again, but no cherry on your desert at TGI Fridays. Very awesome view at night when that Dreamliner went under you.

[@MrsMime100]

So cool Matt! Thanks for sharing that truly unique perspective!

[@jensonhartmann3630]

Did any hear ATC chewing out a pilot @12:07? Lol "it shouldn't have been that difficult..."

[@okedoke1234]

I love the start up from a cold dark cockpit, watching everything boot up....awesome

[@n2091m]

Oh to be young again! Nice documentation of a cool trip

[@paulgarcia5684]

Good job catching that 787. Very cool!

[@stevecastro22]

Very cool Matt...... What a great experience to share with your grandchildren one day

[@justsomeguy1181]

What? It's been a year since anyone commented? We are still watching and loving it. Also, wondering what age Matt will reach when 8000 calories per day will cause him to wake up one morning and say. "Christ! When did I get so fat!" I wax melancholy for the days when I ate a large Dominos washing it down with a 2 liter and, while sucking a bit of pepperoni through my teeth, asked, "what's for desert?" That was when large used was 16". Dangit! Now I'm hungry.

[@corn_pop6082]

Great to have another video, and it's great (my favorites remain your Canada-Greenland-Iceland-Scotland trip). Agree with others that background radio chatter hurt enjoyment of this one. Bet you're inspiring a lot of kids to take up flying. I sent links to three nephews, ages 10-14, of that Euro flight.

[@matheusberger1284]

I`m usually against the tacticool and multiple electronic tools etc but this flightvlog showed how useful it can be in stressfull situations and may I add, the best one I`ve seen yet. Congratulations, keep up the good work!

[@chuckmartin5773]

I keep replaying the TGIF part over and over, cant get enough!! So funny! Thanks

[@andrewjohnson9279]

I can't like this video enough. Dreamliner on departure & arrival. Very special.

[@sergiosauceda9836]

Matt that rocket lauch was amazing to see on your video, can not imagine how cool it was to witness it live, thanks for sharing . . !!

[@bobshaw4063]

Thanks Matt for taking me along vicariously . It was really neat to see the rocket launch through your lense.

[@bobshaw4063]

" Do I get frequent Flyer Miles for this flight " cracked me up. Loved ya'll's sense of humor on this flight .

[@tomseeberg6509]

This was the Bonanzaflight of them all. It was completely outrageous to see the rocket and the SRB.s coming down. I was at KSC myself in june 2017 and was also on the pad 39A. It was also the pad Columbia was launched at on it,s faithful flight STS 107 in 2003.

[@crosscheck8770]

This is pretty cool. I’m a flight student in Eastern NC and I’m doing my first cross country to MCZ for my next flight. Love it.

[@GuitarMAXMusic]

All your videos are good, but this one is just fantastic! This should be shown in theaters.

[@chrisophercheshire6176]

Thanks Matt, another great production. thanks for sharing !

[@richardtullius6419]

You guys are incredible.

[@alistairrolleston31]

Incredible. Really fantastic watch, that TGI Friday exchange was hilarious

[@RPSchonherr]

Should visit St Augustine where the Extra aircraft are built. They have a good restaurant there too.

[@310Pilot]

To sum up this video...wow! I've got a ways to go on my own aviation videos. You set the bar high.

[@fahnestockjohn]

Very cool - I was right there with you for the launch in my C-172M though my trip was much shorter given I'm based out of Melbourne (KMLB). Great stuff - thank for sharing.

[@bradstoltzfus5436]

Best Aviation videos by far!!! I find myself just waiting for that notification on a new video! Keep it up Matt!

[@Amisafeyet]

Matt! Great stuff to vicariously live by! Sorry so late in attendance. I grew up next to a soft field private airport. I remember the shiny Bonanzas and lots of ooo's and aah's. I see your videos and I'm young again getting lots of free rides and lazy-8's in my Uncle's '46 Champ. I wish you many safe returns!

[@Nippleless_Cage]

Wow that ATC guy was in a mood

[@etp714]

That airliner passing under you was way cool. Does that happen often?

[@willhazen9507]

Happens all the time. I've had Delta Mad Dog's crossing over me on my flight to Muskegon as they go into GRR only about 1,500-2,000 above. It's a cool view for sure.

[@carlymontasana4767]

Wonderful video! Always enjoy watching you in action.

[@brad6920]

That was awesome, Matt! Great job on all your videos!

[@aviationfascination]

Hey Matt, have you ever thought about doing a full stop taxi back at a major airport like O’Hare or DFW or somewhere? That’d be an epic video!

[@mlhbrx96]

One of the best flying vlogs I've seen! Thank you Matt!

[@malenawelsh]

Awesome video, Matt! I've been watching your videos for a while, but this one made me subscribe. I just started instrument training, so I really enjoyed hearing the dialogue.

[@channingburton7476]

Another awesome video Matt. Was there on the ground as a kid and saw Apollo 11 Takeoff...and ended up working as a NASA Diver / Technician for 25 years beginning in the Weightless Environment Training Facility (WETF) and then at the Neutral Buoyancy Labortory (NBL). Find yourself in the Houston area, give me a shout and I'll set up a tour of the NBL and get you on the floor to see the Astronauts Train in one of the worlds largest water tanks. Cheers. Start Safe, Stay Safe

[@jman036]

TGIF at midnight, nothing better! Awesome video, thanks for sharing!

[@Recovering_Californian]

28:50 Two sets of runway lights?? ...or is that a reflection I am seeing?

[@ericgulseth74]

Pretty sure that's due to some refraction through the windscreen. There are definitely not 2 sets of lights.

[@brettjacobs242]

I loved the ATC going on while you were giving the Audible Prop.

[@NYorkR24]

oh man, i'm an instructor out of RIC at that very FBO, would've been awesome to meet you

[@MrMannakin]

Great video - still amazes me that a rocket design from the 60s is still the most powerful :)

[@33Pilot]

I also flew my Bonanza into space coast for the launch! You can see a glimpse of the yellow tip tanks when you park on the ramp!

[@paulgarcia5684]

That's the best ATC interaction I have ever heard!

[@johnedwards4278]

Enjoy your vidieos looks like yall have a great time

[@scottewing1091]

Great video Matt! Thank you.

[@brianmoeller3539]

9:34 . - Contact "Seymor Johnson". Holy crap that is the best approach name ever! You handled it perfectly. "We'll see more Johnson on 123.7, G'Day." That's as good as my hope to one day have ATC point out "Fokker" traffic to me. "I got that fokker in sight"

[@TheFlyingReporter]

Amazing Vlog Matt. I am so jealous at the freedoms you enjoy in GA over there. It is so difficult to fly in the UK comparatively speaking. So many barriers, and annoyances.

[@joshsvoss]

The Flying Reporter we really should appreciate it more. Very lucky in that respect. I understand a lot is due to the rich GA history in the us that always had a decent lobby.

[@robertthrailkill1368]

Thanks for another fine video. Historic piece really. Only can do something like this in the USA

[@fitz4adventures]

Watching your videos make me wonder where the heck I went wrong in my life. Great job young man!!!

[@weijingburr2392]

Great stuff as usual, i'm just catching up... The ATC chatter is off the charts on this one, how do you do it? The TGIF part killed me, I'm gonna be laughing about that for a couple days.

[@UNO810]

Awesome video Matt. Watched the launch on facebook love! Can’t wait till my purchase of a 1/4 share in a Cessna Cardinal is completed so I can do some exploring here in Ontario Canada. Keep up the great work!

[@rocket862]

Love the video Matt, Thanks. I am shopping for a Bonanza A36, in part based on your input. That and it made sense because I fly into a 2300' grass field (I was considering a Cirrus SR22). Anyway, keep the videos coming.

[@richardchurchill2459]

Lost the last part landing at Lawrence. Great flight those returning boosters brought back my youth and watching Flash Gordon!

[@SHAREMediaBK]

Wow! Just unreal! Thanks for sharing! Well done!

[@saaviator8797]

You have one of my favorite channels by FAR!!! And I only a few day ago found out and subscribed to your channel. Of course the Bonanza being in the top 5 favorite aircraft of mine. But I’m dying to know... what plane did you train in?

[@warptman]

Thank you Matt! This is your best video that I've seen yet! Gotta have that TGIFriday!

[@elmin2323]

16:38 AHAHAAH sounded like he had no idea what was going on

[@hiltsy09]

Another great video Matt !! Thanks man

[@andrewjohnson9279]

Plane full of incredibly brilliant people watching history from the air. Damn, Matt. This was epic.

[@BruceInFlorida]

All that intelligence, and still a stupid comment, WAITING FOR SPACE X TO EXPLODE ? WTF !!

[@Guardman123u]

Brilliant but not that smart.

[@neilsheets1098]

Thanks for sharing your day.

[@celestialfix]

Excellent video. (Really like seeing the Bonanza fly more than that 210.). Glad to see you got those nitrile gloves for fueling---much cleaner.

[@socomon69]

Change of destination for desert - classic Matt . Cool trip - long day.

[@lariza9659]

Thanks Matt. It was an awesome Video. God Bless .

[@dsgregg]

Re: the electrical problem. I've heard that some guys solved their electrical panel problem by setting SCE to AUX. Just a thought.

[@1dgram]

Try FCE to Auxiliary. What the hell is that?

[@davidstubbs2959]

dsgregg nice apollo 12 reference i believe from Al Bean during the alarms when they were struck by lightning dont think anybody got it else though.

[@1dgram]

000:01:36 Carr: Apollo 12, Houston. Try SCE to auxiliary. Over. 000:01:39 Conrad: Try FCE to Auxiliary. What the hell is that? 000:01:41 Conrad: NCE to auxiliary… 000:01:42 Gordon (onboard): Fuel cell… 000:01:43 Carr: SCE, SCE to auxiliary. [Long pause.] 000:01:45 Conrad (onboard): Try the buses. Get the buses back on the line. 000:01:48 Bean (onboard): It looks - Everything looks good.

[@marcs990]

1dgram 😂😂

[@lachlanmckenzie8208]

Awsome footage. Definitely aspire to do some of things on this channel, love it.

[@G.A.N.official]

good to see you back in the bonanza

[@oceanhoevet8453]

I just read Apollo 8. Great book

[@oljobo]

Very cool! 👍😊

[@aoifemariamolloyagainstisl399]

Great to see you back in the bonanza

[@steini6771]

Goosebumps! Thanks.

[@psaviationphotography9273]

OMG MATT: “We would like to change our destination.” ATC: “Okay, Why?” MATT: “ Ummm.... Richmond has a TJI Friday’s open until 1:30” ATC: Facepalm

[@davidn940]

Hi Matt: I see your voltage is fluctuating. Considering the components that you have changed I would look closely to resistance in the field circuit. One of the nice parts of the diagnosis is that the field circuit testing is done with the engine off. I would recommend measuring the voltage drop between the bus and the regulator. Then measure field voltage drop between the regulator and the alternator. Anything measuring above 200mv. requires attention. One of the things that they do in wiring is run a combined field load and sense in the same wire. Any resistance in the field circuit also influences the sense circuit. Report your findings. Dave

[@esef2578]

Great video!! Loved the picture of Starman at the end. It was real.

[@kariingason6569]

Now there's an adventure :)

[@traceydeakin6055]

Matt are you planning on attending AirVenture Oshkosh 2018 event? FYI Space X is an honored client of ours :)

[@yverose8355]

Wow! Amazing you were allowed so close!!

[@g0ste]

the synchronised childish giggles at Seymour Johnson :D

[@JustFamilyPlaytime]

Highly entertaining to hear someone getting reamed out by atc on your frequency! Even so, for the lords sake mix down the radio chatter so we can hear you.

[@call911forcookies2]

Dam, this vid was pure gold! So many good jokes and vibes all packed into it! Keep it up man :D

[@AidansAviationAdventures]

Nice video Matt , thats some serious XC time for one day !!!!!

[@yoowan3437]

absolutely amazing, cant believe ive just seen this!!!!!

[@scarter176]

Did you think about checking the alternator out transducer ? It’s in that circuit I think. It will give you fits if it goes haywire. Nice ChemTrails

[@airbxnee]

Absolutely brilliant!

[@30769s]

Absolutely amazing

[@kevr6564]

Nice vid matt. I will in Salem Massachusetts right near Lawrence

[@Emipaso]

This was amazing. This is almost what every child would love to become a pilot for. Impressive shots, although.

[@210Driver]

Just flew into Richmond. Million Air was awesome, let us borrow their 100k Mercedes! Awesome video Matt

[@janwbol]

Superb, thanks for sharing.
