Flying 240 Miles In 22 Minutes

Welcome!
Today I am flying 242 miles north to Winston-salem. This trip is one of many because I've been working on an aviation project there. I will announce what this is about soon so please stay tuned.
This was a relatively smooth flight. Cool air at 9,500 ft. Air traffic control was also great and helped out. For the aircraft performance, I was cruising at 148 kts (170 mph) true airspeed which gave me about 138 kts (159 mph) ground speed. 129 kts (148 mph) indicated airspeed. All while burning only 7.3 gallons of fuel per hour.
The Sling TSi is a great performing an economical machine. Hope you tag along and enjoy the flight.
See you at 9,500.

I thoroughly enjoy your videos! Love the flying, cockpit perspectives and practical advice! You are a valuable resource to the flying community!

[@thegrayeagle9181]

That was very impressive. I have always had the dream to learn to fly. I never had the opportunity. Congratulations on being a excellent aviator. Enjoyed every minute.

You look right at home in that thing sir. Congratulations!

[@alecgrolimond1678]

What you have done over the years is really great. I watched many of your videos over the years you have accomplished more than I did in aviation. I did gliding and wanted more but life sent me in other directions. Do what you did stick to your dreams.

I lIve in Gwinnett Co, I have a 9 year old daughter and we go to Briscoe Field all the time to watch the planes land and take off. We'd love to see you there one day and maybe have a look at your AirCraft. I'm a retired Combat Army Veteran. I am also a BBQ Caterer, If you know of anyone looking for some great food for an event, I'd love to put together a tasting for them and hopefully gain there business. Keep up the great work, You are an inspiration to many, especially our young Black children.

[@supernewafrica4210]

I would sure love to taste your your food just too far from you. Encourage your daughter to dream big. All start with a dream.

[@casst346]

Thanks for Sharing! looks great.. smooth operator!

[@dabeefemus]

Young man I and my wife rode along with you on your trip and we both enjoyed the trip and experience! My wife has never flown before and this was the most exposure to air travel she has ever had! I am an experienced traveler and spent some time in the right hand seat with other pilots before, once even doing aerobatics which was a blast! Anyway, once again we enjoyed your taking us along for your trip and the explanation's you gave as we traveled, making it very informative and interesting! And your flying skills are good as I could tell you took flying safely serious! Nice landing as well- smooth and intentional. So all in all it was an awesome experience especially for my wife which is what I was hoping for! As I mentioned she has never flown and was a bit nervous about our plans to fly to Vegas as I am going to treat her to a vacation in the near future. She is no longer anxious! Cool. Good job buddy!

[@kyvministries]

Been a while since I sold my plane due to eye problems. I sure miss it. Thank you for taking me along for the ride.

[@thornyturtleranch6152]

Id like to fly too but im loosing my eyesight young to glaucoma. What kind of eye troubles do you have?

[@jgregorygraves5792]

@@thornyturtleranch6152 Man, I hate to hear that, so I'll offer this heads-up about reversing glaucoma; yes, you can reverse it. Search "The MOST Important Vitamins For Eye Health - Dr.Berg" to get started. Dr. Berg is a doctor who produces videos advocating health through proper diet, specifically KETO and intermittent fasting (IF). KETO combined with IF enables one to totally reverse insulin resistance and the plethora of symptoms of metabolic syndrome it leads to, including glaucoma. Eating too much sugar and carbohydrates and eating too often leads to insulin resistance which is the first of a "domino effect" responsible for 95% of the degenerative conditions that cause premature death. I am just a 60-year-old guy who adopted this lifestyle to successfully reverse over 15 symptoms of metabolic syndrome. It's been an amazing transformation made without utilizing any kind of pharma-based options, just natural healthy eating habits. If you decide to follow through investigating this data, I am convinced you'll be able to reverse your glaucoma and reap a whole lot of additional health benefits as well. I feel like I have a new lease on life. Here I am, 60 years old, and I am as enthusiastic about life as I've ever been; that's why I am here; I think I will learn to fly. Good luck pilot, I wish the absolute best for you.

[@richardthompson8207]

Multiple retinal tears in both eyes over a three-year span. Retinal detachment in one eye. Five surgeries on one eye and four surgeries on the other with one more surgery to go. But I count my blessings. While I have lost Vision, I am still very grateful for the fact I am able to see well enough to drive.

[@thornyturtleranch6152]

@@jgregorygraves5792 thank you J gregory. The things you mention help with health and many things. Reversing glaucoma means 2 things. Eliminating the high eye pressure and magically regrowing optic nerves. Ive got pigmentary glaucoma and lots of nerve death. The nerve death, its reversible but the science and the clinical process for that is not available in our current time.
