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.

One of my business partners has serial number 001 of the eclipse 500. Also is the highest time of any eclipse ever flown. They're awesome airplanes

[@AceNinja2112]

That instructor has the best attitude of any flight instructor I have ever encountered!

[@jerryuma]

I researched this airplane. I don’t believe it is safe. The company ran out of money and it is no longer made anymore. The is also something about an FAA issue, so I would not fly in one these airplanes.

Jets are a different world. 450 pph at FL300 is 67 gph? For a jet it's great, but for a piston pilot it's like someone knocked a hole in the fuel tank and the fuel is just pouring out. However, it's still my favorite small jet, so much better than a Cirrus VisionJet.

Amazing little scooter. A Bonanza with jet engines. For sure! lol

[@georgedoolittle9015]

Anti-lock brakes! What a revolution!

[@jonclassical5710]

WOW...another Bert Rutan based creation......I am a Cessna Citation guy......nice to see you adding so many aircraft to your "planes I have flown"...look'n good there Matt........Cheers !!!

[@bjhaines3282]

That guy is great on the radio

The Mazda Miata of jets.

[@jackoneil3933]

Pretty cool when you figure it goes 400mph at 6mpg, a Baron goes 200mph at about 8mpg, a Cessna 210 about 180mph at 10mpg, and a 501 Citation about 360mph at 1mpg.

I love an instructor with solid mechanical understanding of the airframe. Awesome.

[@adrianflower3230]

What an awesome experience 👍Thanks for sharing Matt😀

[@anthonyblacker8471]

Oh man I sure hope he's CFI and you logged that time!! Well I guess you can log it anyway being you fly a jet already, but man what a fun flight!! Storms are SO scary!

[@PilotDaveLI]

Great video. I have time in the Eclipse and it's a great plane. Underrated for sure. And yes the captain is this video was awesome, great explanation of the system. IS&S system isn't for everyone, but it works nice for this plane.

[@cosmodog4845]

Fantastic, thanks guys.

Nice piece of kit and nicely handled. Thanks for a great video experience.

[@aviatorel32]

My dream jet, fast, efficient, fun to fly.

[@ericm333]

Thanks for sharing. Bit warmer than standard @ FL350. Nice flight 😊

Mark is a good guy. Glad you got to fly Echo alpha. He has had it for a while now.
