WTH!!! I was looking for an explanation of some kind as to what happened to you,so what's the story Capt.you owe us an explanation please.I was sincerely concerned!!

[@captmoonbeam]

Joe Thanks. I really appreciate your concern and I do owe you and others an apology for not making it clear that I was posting periodic updates on Instagram. KZbin doesn't make it easy to do this. I've been busy and there have been changes at work and in my personal life that have taken up time. The changes in my life are nothing more than a time consuming inconvenience and will work out. I can still make videos and I'm making time to do that now but, not all of the flights are appropriate for this. Some of these flights are to medical centers and I don't make videos on any of these flights. Sadly, unless there's divine intervention on the scale of a miracle that won't end well. There are other flights I can't make videos on also. These are for much less serious reasons such as business considerations but, those restraints are only temporary. At a point in the future I'll be able to speak more on this.

[@bstephens600]

@@captmoonbeam Thanks for the update....I was concerned as well. Big fan from Southern Illinois!

[@christophermusso]

Glad you're well. Prayers for those on the med flights. Another So IL fan here (Belleville).

[@JoeSmith-nu8oo]

@@captmoonbeam Well the best thing is you're back, and I completely understand how it is on making videos in the job you have.The FAA regulations along with the companies rules supersede all others.I just was thinking that something unexpected had happened and you weren't able to let us know.Thanks and take care.

[@MichaelSchafir]

@@captmoonbeam It's great to see you back. I hope all the changes are positive, especially the personal life ones, which are the most important. Happy Thanksgiving!

[@gungadinn]

[@unjohn]

Jim, thanks for your great content. Up early this morning watching a heavy overhead on approach to O’Hare. I learned to fly at VNY and got my other ratings in the LA area. I miss the front office since I lost my medical in 2000. Thanks again Captain!

[@ryanfortin4344]

[@daithilacha1]

Another excellent video Capt , and great to see you back at the helm. Your Army of fans have missed you here, and it feels like a homecoming to have you back in the fold. Greetings from Ireland.

Welcome Captain, it is good to have you back Your videos and your experience is appreciated Safe flying and blue skies 🛩🛩🛩👍👍👍 Arturo

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks Arturo, you be safe out there.

[@dominickatx478]

Capt. Moonbeam always has the freshest beats in his videos

[@KSRRider]

Great video Jim! Your editing is great. As a corporate and contract guy myself, I can totally relate to the song and dance of a busy weekend flying multiple types. Keeps you on your toes and never a dull moment! You're just the type of pilot I really enjoy flying with. Flying is so enjoyable especially when you are able to share the cockpit with an upbeat professional. Enjoy seeing your positive attitude in a dynamic environment, I try to do the same :)

[@RTMZ06]

Very glad to see you back Jim, I was having a bad day and you just lifted my mood, cheers!

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks Bill.

[@nemo227]

There's something special about getting home; arriving safely. It can be good to travel, a little bit of anticipation, a kind of adventure with new (or familiar) sights, sounds, but when it's over there's no place like home.
