Flying Home from the Farm with Birds on Short Final!

Time to head back home after having fun with the little ones at the farm. We get to work work on our traffic spotting skills and we had to dive a bit on short final to avoid a flock of small birds.

Enjoyed going with you thank you and your family for letting us.

[@copflyer6569]

Not only another great video, but a great example of how you show what family values are all about. People would ask my wife and I how did your two sons turn out so good. ( One is an engineer and a former combat Navy Pilot and the other is a high ranking federal agent in law enforcement with great wives who gave us 6 beautiful grandkids). We would tell people it is not rocket science. You raise them to be courteous, polite, respect others, and work hard in everything you do. Spend a lot of time with them because someday they will be gone off on their own. Looks to me like you are both doing it right with your beautiful kids.

[@daviddarrow4506]

You are right on target Cop Flyer when addressing what it takes to raise children. My wife started our two kids with the ABC's and numbers well prior to pre-school and our continued efforts to promote responsibility paid great dividends now in their careers. Watching this video and how Kevin and Jamie introduce their boys to aviaiton brings back a lot of memories for me flying with my son. Keep the video's coming Kevin, as each one is enlightening and entertaining.

[@310Pilot]

Thank you Cop Flyer!! We for sure spend a lot of quality time with them and try to raise them as you mention. The goal is they turn out to be great adults like your kids ended up. Congrats on a job well done parenting!

[@310Pilot]

Glad you enjoyed the video David! I agree with you about theories on raising kids. Glad to bring back some fond memories for you. :)

Amen Cop Flyer. I agree with everything you posted. My Nephew spent alot of years as a officer on a nuclear sub. Today he has a Doctorate in Physics. At home with his 3 beautiful children. God bless America. And God bless you.

You are a very patient dad...Flying with kids. My son took his first ultralight flight at 6yo. He has flown quite a few times with my friends and the Young Eagles program. He is in college now which his mom is having separation anxiety. Enjoy them while they are young because time will just fly by. They do come home to visit though. Take care, Be safe.

[@patrickcoleman6088]

Kev, we love you..... We love Jaime too, she wasn’t gettin’ any of the lovin’...cute kiddos Enjoy it, as you know, they become TEENAGERS!! Ahhhh!!!

[@310Pilot]

Ha ha...thanks Patrick! She usually gets more than her share of the loving...it was Dad's turn. :) We for sure know about the teenager phase...we have two of them as well. :)

[@jwschrag]

Love the family flight thing. Kids say the darndest things. Handled well. Jaime is not a "totally useless" co-pilot. Her radio skills are exceptional (of course, one would expect that from a controller) and she does know how to help out with other stuff when needed without being told every phase of the flight what is expected. Would love to have a co-pilot with her attributes! Seriously, another great video, keep 'em coming!

[@310Pilot]

Glad you enjoyed the video!! They are some little cuties. I agree...she is the best co-pilot around. Love having her help navigate, look for traffic and work the radios. Really free's me up for the flying stuff. :)

Another wonderful video guys! I enjoyed every minute of it except for the flock of birds! That sounds a little scary! Just getting back from a trip myself to New York flying commercially. Evidently we got out of New York just in time before a big blizzard hit the following day! Can't wait to see you next video! Nice to see the kids in the back! Marvin

Good stuff as always guys! Love your son's question to his brother about whether it bothers him to get hit in the face! ;) A little foreshadowing for the shouting match that came later! At least he then fell asleep. I imagine the alternative ("STOP IT, OR I'LL PULL OVER IMMEDIATELY!") doesn't work so well at 5500 ft.

[@310Pilot]

Ha ha...glad you enjoyed it Wally! They usually get along pretty well...but sometimes boys will be boys. I guess if it ever came down to a pull this thing over moment Jaime would have to go back there and settle things. :)

What was the longest cross-country in the twin without the heater and how cold was it? My wife and I recently went XC at night in a Cherokee without a heater and it was miserable. Luckily it was only 2.5 en route; any longer and we would've needed a stop for coffee and warmth.

[@310Pilot]

We really haven't taken anything too long in the cold without the heat. Maybe St Louis? We just did a nice cross country down to TX with our new heater and it was warm and toasty! You planning on getting your heat fixed soon? A Cherokee just uses air from a shroud around the exhaust right?

[@skywalkeraviation9669]

@@310Pilot It was a rental and I think the cables that open the ducting were disconnected. The only reason I took that one was because the one I wanted didn't have panel lights and I wasn't comfortable flying at night without them.

I'll bet you can't wait until the kids are big enough to reach the rudder pedals. I hope you're surviving the polar vortex okay. That is the one thing I don't miss about Chicago. BTW, at 18:51, those pylons look familiar. Is that the power line that goes to Fermilab?

I have a yaw damper John so I'll just settle for them seeing over the dash. :) We survived the cold weather...it was 20 today and felt warm. I'm not sure about those power lines. I've seen them driving south of ARR to my parents house. They may run over to Fermilab?

I'm guessing at least a couple of them know about the channel. One of these days I plan to see if one of them wants a ride around while they are on break or before/after their shifts.

[@47fireguy16]

From one Southern guy to another, sorry you had to go through that "cold snap". I spent a winter in Milwaukee in 65-66 and tolerated some of that weather. Never did get used to the temps. The snow was fun up to a certain point but not enough to make me want to stay. What we do to make a living ! My wife has that same sleeping sickness as the boys when she flies. Sometimes doesn't make it much past rotation.

[@310Pilot]

Ha ha...that's funny about your wife. Whenever I'm on an airliner (haven't done since buying this plane) I'm usually asleep by takeoff. Guess that's where he gets it from. I'm glad Jaime usually stays awake and helps with the radios/navigating/looking for traffic but sometimes on longer flights she crawls in the back and goes to sleep as well. :) I'm with you about this cold. Man the things we do to earn a living! One day I'll be back in the warm weather again.

[@RBEmerson]

Props for the kiddos, mutual disagreement or not. Props for their parents, who calm things down a couple of words and eye contact. Good on ya. Anyway... one thing that doesn't show up in the videos is traffic, metal or feathered. No gripe here, just a comment. Wide angle action cam lenses just don't support that level of detail. I guess that if we did see something in the video, it would be a bad day for all concerned. 8-0 OTOH if we're watching a 310 Pilot vid afterwards, it all worked out right. :)

Kevin, Ok that was just funny, it is so true, kids say the darndest things. Pretty funny, thanks for sharing, good flight. What is that black circle on the vent window next to you? You also have learned to be a good editor of these videos. Must take a lot of time. Thanks, my best to your family.

[@310Pilot]

Glad you enjoyed it Bob! The black circle is another battery powered outside air temp gauge. I don't use it as I have two others on the dash and the one on my engine monitor is super accurate. Editing is the hard part for me for sure...flying is the easy part. I'm (hopefully) getting better as time goes on. I can edit about one video a week and try to post on Fridays. I'm about 4-5 flights behind right now.

So how many people watching this video were trying to see all the other aircraft in the landing pattern, thought you could see one coming in out the windscreen.. only to realize a few minutes later it did not seem to be moving... because it was actually a piece of dust/link on your monitor screen? ;-)

@@310Pilot My youngest son, his wife, and two grandbabies live in KSAT. I'm "way up" in Farmington, NM for work so it's just a bit further for me to go see them now (17 hour drive vs 90m). I need an airplane lol I was in Houston a few weeks ago... there were flowers in the median. Not kidding. No jacket required. It's been pretty soupy down there though.

Hey Kev, another awesome video buddy! Let me say I so agree with Cop Flyer’s comment and it is so refreshing seeing mom and dad include the kids in your outings! There just isn’t enough of that these days in what I term “the out of control generation” unfortunately and it isn’t all the kids fault because it starts at home with mom and dad and obviously if that isn’t there the kids are on their own and end up teaching themselves and that hardly ever turns out to be a very successful endeavor. Please let me add, I would give anything to have my 3 back to the ages of your kids because before you know it they’re dropping grandkids in your lap which is an awesome thing but my point is, before you know it they’re off building their own families. So enjoy and experience your young ones as much as you can because in the blink of an eye it’s over and we as parents are left sitting there wondering where the heck the time went!!! 🤔

[@310Pilot]

Thank you Scott for the nice comment!! Glad you enjoyed the video. We love spending time with them (and sometimes share them with other family members). They sure do grow up fast! I'm honestly really looking forward to the grandparent phase of life as well. :)

[@harrykeel8557]

Good video. Well, all I can say is all the sincerity will disappear when the kids get a little older. The looks back, at the kids, reminds me of when our two boys were younger. Glad to see you maintain discipline when your taking off, with the kids that is.

[@310Pilot]

Glad you enjoyed it Harry! I love this loving phase they are in right now. :) We have a couple teenagers so we know what's coming from that aspect. :)

[@hpflyboi]

How many kids do you all have?

[@jamess6656]

What model iPad are you using again? I am looking to upgrade to mini4 or 11” pro. Leaning toward mini4 b/c of size.

[@310Pilot]

I'm using the Mini 4 James and love it. Heard they are going to release a mini 5 soon. Glad they kept the line going as it is the perfect size for me in the plane. :)

[@BenjaminKanarek]

Do you have auto pilot?

[@HarleyDayRider]

It was very nice to see you guys flying as a family. Your little one reminded me of our little ones falling asleep in the car. And it was nice to see the picture in picture of the landing. Fly Safe.

[@310Pilot]

Glad you enjoyed it and thank you for the feed back! Those little ones sure like naps while in cars/planes. :)

[@SmittySmithsonite]

I died laughing, " Do you mind getting hit in the face?" That was GREAT! 🤣😂🤣 Got another shoutout! You guys are getting BIG TIME famous now! 😉 Beautiful day to be out flying. Severe clear! Got to love that! Haven't had many of those days around the Northeast lately. Although today was a heat wave - got up to 43°! I would've went swimming if there wasn't 3' of ice on my brother's pool ... 😁 Amazing how the 40's feel warm after sub-zero and single digit highs. Now we get a mud fest again - supposed to be 60° Tuesday! Roller-coaster winter over here in MA. Nice job spotting those birds! I often wonder how good I'd be at spotting things like that, since my eyesight is terrible. I barely pass the DOT physical for my CDL every year ( I keep it "just in case" - haven't drove in over 10 years) - always struggle reading the chart. I'm too stubborn to get glasses, since my vision has been the same since I was about 9 or so years old. Love watching the ground whiz by, even at elevation. That thing really moves, especially in a tail wind! Always enjoy watching, especially since you guys are an example every parent, or person in general, should strive to be. You're my kind of people! Thanks Kevin & Jamie! 🍻

[@310Pilot]

Thank you Smitty for the nice compliments. :) Kids sure do say the darnedest things. After that crazy cold spell we had a little bit back, it was sunny and 20 with no wind and it felt nice strangely enough. I have to give credit on my eyes to the dr that ran a laser over them to give it to me. :) Really glad you're enjoying the channel. Should have a lot of fun flights as it starts to warm up.

[@SmittySmithsonite]

@@310Pilot - Ahh, lasik! I need that, lol. Looking forward to the summer flights. 👍👍

[@nbt3663]

Appreciate y'all too.

[@adrianarnold8554]

Kevin/Jamie how did your lad sleep through the birds and the landing? He didn't even wake up until you were at the T-hangers with the 310 put to bed!! Great video guys.

[@310Pilot]

Glad you enjoyed it Adrian! When he plays hard he naps hard. :) That was why I put the picture in picture of the landing...he didn't even budge on touchdown.

[@ozziepilot2899]

Great flight guys. Birds are so dangerous, we have to contend with Ibis (which are big) at our field, had to reject my takeoff on a flight last November as I rotated we thought we hit one as they blind sided us from the right, luckily no hit but maybe ruffled the feathers as we found a few when taxiing around the grass verge. Hope that arctic blast didn't hit you too bad , cheers from Aussie.

[@310Pilot]

Thank you Paul...glad you enjoyed it! They are dangerous and we get a lot of migratory birds here in the upper midwest. The big flocks of geese are usually easy to see....these were small birds and I didn't pick them up till close to them. Wish the cameras would have shown them. I had to look up Ibis...those wouldn't be fun to hit either. Glad you missed that one on takeoff. That for sure would have done some damage. Good news is the -50F wind chills are over and it's suppose to be 50F in the next couple days. Can't wait for spring up here!!

[@rammstein1903]

This is like flying with my two daughters (6&4). This is why it feels like I take an hour to do my run-up.

[@310Pilot]

Ha ha...ain't that the truth Dan. :) Congrats on getting your two little ones in the air as well. We need to help the future pilots of the world get started.

[@ssnydertrucking1121]

I run a heavy haul trucking company, i am the owner, driver, mechanic. With all that in mind my job is nothing compared to what you have to know and do to fly that aircraft my hat is off to both of you. I hate to fly, but would fly with you. Thanks for the great content your channel has.

[@310Pilot]

Awesome...thank you for the nice compliment!! I can't wait till I can retire and have the time to get airplane mechanic (A&P) certified. I love working on stuff and do everything they will allow me to on the airplane (i.e. oil changes, change spark plugs/batteries, etc). Glad you're enjoying the channel.

[@daveglover3944]

Another great video Kevin. So nice to be flying with you and your family. Your son is so comfortable flying with you he can fall asleep. Thanks for allowing us to get to know your sons, you and Jaime should be very proud of them. Fly Safe and God Bless.

[@310Pilot]

Glad you enjoyed it Dave and thank you for the nice comment! We are very fortunate and proud of our youngin's. :)

[@diamondjimbaldwin2493]

Nice short flight brother......glad you got the heater fixed. As of today I know you guys have been having some cold weather there. It’s been a little cold here in Myrtle beach as well.....well cold for us lol 42 degrees. Always a treat to stop and enjoy the videos.

[@310Pilot]

Thank you Jim...glad you enjoyed it! Cold is a relative thing for sure. I remember living in Georgia and Florida and thinking 50 was cold. Today it was 20 walking to the truck and it felt like 50 after the last few days. :)

[@skycop56]

Greatest flying family on KZbin, And Jaymi, you have “it”. Your mic presence is that of a veteran pilot. Kevin, you are a good and gentle dad and a good pilot.

[@310Pilot]

Thank you for the awesome comment John! Really means a lot to us. :) I'm a very lucky guy.

[@karlfair]

You guys make lunch time on Fridays much more entertaining than it use to be. I have yet to watch one of your videos that I didn't enjoy and usually learn something as well. Thanks and keep up the good work.

[@310Pilot]

Awesome...glad you are enjoying the videos Karl!! I'm getting close to caught up on past flights and then will have some videos showcasing the new autopilot (STEC 3100) and we have some really fun trips planned for the rest of the year. :)
