I'm sure it's just a mistake.

I lived in Dallas for 25 years, and remember when "Celebration" restaurant was the cool new thing. Hope they are making it through the Pandemic. Your lunch looked good!

Always happy to.

[@wlflightlr]

Man, that's a long day, I loved the Aerosmith pinball machine!

[@captmoonbeam]

thanks.

[@chuckkocsis9467]

Kudos on asking about the Lear on final. It shows us newer pilots that it is OK to call ATC and ask when you're not sure. Great example.

[@ChrisMuncy]

Good evening Jim. Thanks for another great video.

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks Chris.

[@ChrisB257]

Good to see you Jim. Enjoyable trip. Nice view of downtown when you landed and FBO sure seems a nice one.

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks Chris, it's one of the better fbo's to spend the day in.

Welcome back Captain!

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks

[@theboz8161]

I saw online an old photo of N9U prior to the avionics upgrade with the GTN 750's. The avionics shop did a beautiful job on this aircraft.

[@captmoonbeam]

I agree, we've been really happy with it.

[@kennethvanwetering692]

LOVE these videos, James! Keep up the great work!

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks Kenneth,

[@robertpearse6472]

Really enjoyed this video Jim. I realise that it's a lot of work but clearly your fans, of which i am one, just love the way you show us how your 'job' is done. Thank you from 'Downunder.'

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks Rob. Making new clips this morning of a nassau trip. Hot some new stuff in it.

[@myckee]

Capt. Moonbeam and Mike video. You just made my week. Especially coming to my home town. Sorry I missed you. Wished I could have visited with you. Safe travels.

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks Mike. You guys are still feeling the heat.

[@myckee]

@@captmoonbeam Yes unfortunately we still are. But this weekend things are gonna get much better.

[@XX-166]

It’s about time you hooked us up with a video. 😎

[@captmoonbeam]

Yes it is

[@princekp1]

Finally. Good to see a good vid

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks

[@nashguy207]

Sorry to here you want get to get current in the challenger I was hoping to see some footage of that one in the air. years ago i used to fly into love field a lot for business on southwest it was cheap round trip. Looked like a nice round trip. Hope the family is doing well Jim. Always good to see you post a new video. Have a great week!!!

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks, next video should be the challenger

[@hectormuzquiz5277]

Thx skipper!

[@captmoonbeam]

Hi Hector

[@faf713]

Great video. Glad to see you back. Missed you. Please post more videos, even ones you might consider boring. Keep the videos coming.. Lunch looked good. Fred in Houston

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks It was good.

[@richschindler8731]

Good ole Love field. I flew for several different companies based out of there in the late 70’s. It’s changed so much since then. Another great video!!!

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks Rich. It’s a busy place.

[@spanieaj]

I love that Falcon 900 @ 10:58 mark and cool tour of the FBO!

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks Gus.

[@chrisoconnell5727]

Another GREAT video ! Keep em coming !

[@2snowgirl520]

Gorgeous plane.

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks.

[@BenNstyle]

Great footage of DAL and Tranquility Base lounge! I live in north Dallas and we love dinning at Celebration on Lovers Lane too! Nothing tops a Texas sunset over Dallas!

[@captmoonbeam]

I’ve been there a few times and always enjoyed it.

Hey Thanks for flying in! Was cool meeting you and Mike. I’m Drew from BJC

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks Drew. Hope to see you again soom.

[@N6CW]

The Observation Deck there at BJC (if still open) is wonderful, especially in the evenings.

[@captmoonbeam]

I think it was

[@chrisburress9747]

Thanks for a great video. Was hoping to see some in the Challenger but that is okay. Hate you not getting type

[@captmoonbeam]

thanks Chris. That could change 5 minutes from now but either way I'll enjoy what I have. My next Vlog should have the Challenger in it. Camera placement wasn't great but, it takes a few video to find the righjt spot.

[@donstor1]

Love all the flying in this one. I am restricted to flying the simulator and fly a lot on the Challenger 300, I think you would love it.. 4000 fpm up through the 20s. and M..80 in the cruise. Beautiful shots at sunset with the city lights below. Great video, thanks.

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks. Flying the Challenger 300 today.

[@bigd5026]

I'm hoping to meet you at ocean reef in your next trip-- the airport is remodeled 👍👌👋🛩✈

[@captmoonbeam]

I called last week and that’s what they told me, hope to see you there.

Glad that Capt. Jim has given up all those cheeseburgers and fried foods and getting exercise. We need ya Jim!

[@lutherlewis6792]

Like your music! Much better than hard rock or rap.

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks Luther. I think it worked.

[@michaelbodine6142]

Beeptone sometimes IS VERY important; cheers Captain Moonbeam ;

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks

[@BeechSportBill]

Beeping directly correspond to throttles. It’s a EARE not a Bug...

[@BeechSportBill]

A FEATURE not a bug...

[@foxiedogitchypaws7141]

Fly safe

[@captmoonbeam]

and keep the blue side up and the brown side down.

[@Mikey-vx3yz]

Hey Capt. Love your videos, and always look forward to the next one, but I have one question; is there not a camera that you could use that would stop the strobing of the instruments in the way that the camera mounted on the bulkhead does?

[@captmoonbeam]

Not that I know of Mikey. It’s a problem of syncing the refresh rate of the three CRT’s in the panel with the camera. The two newer Garmin panels are LED’s so they don’t do that. Under some lighting conditions you’ll see it improve substantially but I can’t control that.

[@Mikey-vx3yz]

@@captmoonbeam thanks for the reply - it's a shame because I want to see what's on your PFD. You're quite right though, because sometimes (I think mainly at night) they're actually much clearer.

[@darrellmckay9064]

great video captmb I hope the wall in your office paints out very nice thank you for taking the time to talk to me about flying you really made my day I really enjoyed working there imagine that "enjoyed working" that's a rarity. sincerely Darrell the drywall man also known as Dr Drywall haha

[@captmoonbeam]

HI Darrell. Thanks for the comment and the help. See you next time.

Great video Jim . Loved that take off . Say hi to mike .

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks. Will do.

[@rorymcloughlin2023]

Jeez. That was a long day Captain

[@captmoonbeam]

It was.

[@stikman334]

What is that low tone beeping in the background? I haven't heard that before. I noticed it around 4 minutes into the video.

[@ProPilotPete]

stikman334 heart monitor

[@BossaNossa1]

Who was the monitor "monitoring"...?

[@Mikey101160]

Isn't it some sort of aural glideslope indication?

[@stikman334]

@@ProPilotPete Thats funny! Especially since it varies in speed at times! I've watched plenty of Jim's videos and this is the first time I've heard that sound. Just curious.

[@bigd-1-channel514]

@@stikman334 Sounded to me like a variometer, but cannot imagine why they would have one

[@bradleyleonard3939]

Sleeping with the fish has never turned out good.

[@captmoonbeam]

Excellent point.

[@graysono]

Didn't realise you had landing lights on the wings in the Excel. Does it have belly lights too? Quite a lot of light then!

[@captmoonbeam]

Yes it does have two large belly lights and two in each wingtip.

[@LAAvgRay]

Was that a VOR beacon coming into Dallas? I noticed it went up and down in tone.

[@captmoonbeam]

I think it was a marker beacon.

[@canadianwing]

@@captmoonbeam It's been going for way longer if you listen closely

[@vaughnbluejr5960]

Enjoy the videos. This one had an annoying muffled beep going in the background. Hope I wasn't hearing things in my head. LOL. One other thing: you've got another handle now:: Capt. Moonbeam "The Pinball Wizard".

[@captmoonbeam]

thanks Vaughn. I don't think it was your imagination.

[@alanjolly8988]

Noticed no video synchronization issues with the instruments at night time.

[@captmoonbeam]

That's also happens in cloudy conditions. Bright sunlight is the worse.

[@brucethompson1879]

loved the vid! thanks!

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks for watching Bruce.

[@asalvi]

Challenger 300 eh ?!!!! European flights soon !!!! Way to go !!! Congrats capt !

[@captmoonbeam]

The owner did say he’d like to take a couple of trips to Europe.

[@BeechSportBill]

Captain Moonbeam... why did you need to be there so early?

[@captmoonbeam]

We normally show one hour before departure. I don't know why they wanted to leave so early.

[@Fitch93]

Was that a Star Check tower was calling for at the end? I thought they went out of business a long time ago....

[@captmoonbeam]

I thought the same thing.

[@bretts1]

Captain great video! Have you ever had the opportunity to go up in a sailplane?

[@captmoonbeam]

No, I think it would be fun.

[@bretts1]

captmoonbeam I went twice in Elmira NY in the fall. So quiet and smooth. Was getting dark and sailplanes we’re heading in to land. Pilot new I had just gotten SEL and they did full spins back then as part of training, not sure if they still do that. Pilot asked do you mind if we go in fast. Lol 😂 No. Captain Moonbeam that was one crazy spin down and he rolled out right on final. The leaves in Elmira in the fall are beautiful!

[@BossaNossa1]

Cap', when airline pilots retire and fly their last flight, they give them a fire hose bath..., What happens for a private pilot..?

[@captmoonbeam]

They fly off into the sunset

[@chadpollman7970]

If you’re lucky (and a longtime good customer), someone from the FBO might drag out a garden hose and let ‘er rip. 😜

[@markwalker284]

What’s that incessant beeping ! 🙉🤨😁

[@captmoonbeam]

it was an outer marker beacon we were picking up.

[@Fitch93]

@@captmoonbeam But it seemed like it's beeping was in direct correlation to your throttle inputs. It slowed down as you lowered the throttle and sped up as you increased it.

[@UTarcher72]

Lost your audio part way through... All of the approach into Dallas, no atc audio

[@jlaw2024]

Apparently not on the desktop version.

[@captmoonbeam]

I jus listened to it on a desktop. I wonder if I lost a channel.

[@n310ea]

Question. Can jet engines overheat if the pilot maintains a very low cruising altitude for long periods of time?

[@captmoonbeam]

I've never heard of it happening.

Nice pinball machine 👾🍒🕹

And it was free play😎👍

[@kittykat999a]

Like!

[@michaelkacmarynski1706]

Been watching for a while and only just thought of this. How do you get away with using the tail number and not the “dot com” call sign in the system? Could be just a simple answer and I’m just tired after work but either way.

[@captmoonbeam]

You only get a .com call sign if you pay for the service, otherwise it's your registration #

[@benmartz3405]

Have you been back to the Bahamas since the storm?

[@captmoonbeam]

Yes, on my way there right now

[@ronarnott1801]

So what is the variable pitched beeping I'm hearing on approach?

[@captmoonbeam]

The outer marker

[@Thunder_Dome45]

If a pilot controlled the plane from a bunker somewhere I might have been one but I am horribly afraid of heights.

[@captmoonbeam]

That may be how it works one day.

[@Doyle-Nutbush]

Wonder why corporate guys jump through all the hoops to acquire a 300, paint it etc. only to put it on a long term lease. Owners should stick to operating and leave the leases to the banks/leasing firms.

[@captmoonbeam]

It's all about the money.

[@chrisbowpiloto]

How many type ratings do you have?

[@captmoonbeam]

9

[@alexandergarland77]

Hey Captain are you rated on the Challenger? My question about the Challenger is is it the same as the crj-200 series are there subtle differences I'm curious you're probably the only person that I know I can ask that

[@captmoonbeam]

I only have an SIC type in the airplane. From my perspective there are a lot of differences.

[@larryehrlich8702]

Back in the early 1980's when I flew Lear jets the Cessna Citation was known as the "slowtion". It was also known as the "Munsion Burner" for the baseball player who got killed trying to learn how to fly his Citation. The Citation was very slow compared to a Lear Jet.
