Flying to the Rocky Mountains in a Beechcraft King Air

Justin here is a professional pilot who offered for me to fly along with him on some part-91 flights in a King Air 200. This is a single flight we did from FYV to AXX. Enjoy!

This video is pretty much the textbook case for why "long" videos are awesome.

[@teddyballgame4823]

Rodger that!

[@itzdilpickle3679]

Soooooo true

[@kenbrand8972]

I absolutely agree

[@2cents128]

Justin, as a retired ATC guy I can tell you that, even though they don’t tell you, those controllers really appreciate your professionalism and preparedness. It makes everyone’s job much easier. And this was another great video.

[@1littlelee]

yeah this make BS sense, they are doing a job they expect him to be professional, they dont give a shit how professional he is!

[@rbrianharris]

1littlelee everybody isn’t professional. Thus it’s an expectation you don’t always get. So, when you do get it, it’s appreciated.

[@2cents128]

@@1littlelee You obviously don't know much about what goes on behind the scenes in aviation. Suggest you visit an approach control or an ARTCC and ask the controllers how they feel.

[@bernardanderson7569]

Great flying fellas

[@bernardanderson7569]

Beautiful aircraft

[@Matt-W89]

That was awesome thank you for not cutting it shorter

[@GLICKMIRE]

I like the way he verified the pressure differential by opening the side window!

A King Air with a King Ranch Interior. Savin' my pennies.

[@danielridlon3198]

You got 5 million dollars in penny's?

[@greensphinx]

Murgen Fruumin I wish

[@trainsplanesmore]

If I could get one with a Levi's interior, I would have to get it! :-)

[@maxcorder2211]

Flying an IFR plan at altitude is just a series of handoffs from ground to departure to Centers along the way to approach control to tower to ground. As long as you don’t have any problems, it’s no problem. Just stay ahead of the airplane. As a former USAF multi-engine pilot, I d like to recognize your excellent coordination and “living by the checklist”. Good job and many years of success ahead to both of you.

[@carbonz3739]

I love the 30min video!!! Keep up the good work!!

[@avoidingtrees6692]

Pilots never get bored flying the king air. Thanks josh, you are very professional and safe in your flying. Cheers from France.....

[@TheBappy56]

This reminds me of when I got the opportunity to fly a Part 135 Cargo flight with a good friend in a Pilatus PC-12. So new and such a great experience. I'm glad you got this opportunity and shared it with us!!!

[@benedikt5974]

I know the King Air as a skydiver and I love that fast beast! Thank you for sharing this flight!

[@pizzlesauce]

I'm not a pilot, I just fly simulators. I love how everything is no nonsense and straight and precise communication.

[@KevinSlate77]

Great video! I like the longer format. If you have the opportunity with the 4k camera, do zoom in on changes to relevant controls. It will add a great understanding of how the manipulation of the controls impact the overall flight (altering heading bug and managing flight director). Another great video!

[@jeromecannon7344]

Awesome, Josh. Thank-you for the videos. I have followed your videos for the last several years, using them as examples for my own flying. I just started my CFI training after passing my Commercial Checkride in October.

[@user-me2xf7wl5o]

This is hands down my favourite video from you Josh. Thanks for all the time and effort you put into making these videos!

[@jamesriordan7]

Great video Josh! I'm also thankful you didn't shorten this video. I'm an aspiring multi and turbine pilot so I appreciate being able to watch a couple of pros at work in that environment. It's so different from what I currently do, which is scenic flights in a Waco YMF. Because of this, I thoroughly enjoy watching these types of videos. Keep up the good work!

[@Nico-nu9ws]

I am only a VFR Private but the knowledge I am gaining from this and all your other videos are PRICELESS. Thank you from the TOP and BOTTOM of my heart Josh for your AWESOME flight vids.

[@flyingclint589]

This is AWESOME! thanks for sharing! you flew like a real deal co-pilot!

[@DanielTPeace]

Totally enjoyed, thank you so much for sharing these adventures and experiences.

[@Unfinished_sentenc]

Thank you for posting. So candid and genuine. Loved every minute.

[@CIOPilot]

Watched this with my wife, she said, “well of course they got a perfect KAXX landing day”. We full time out of Angel Fire, and a 13 knot crosswind is wonderful because it is so rare. I practiced dozens of crosswind landings in my Saratoga before I moved it full time to Angel Fire. I would say the average crosswind is typically 16G20. I am comfortable enough with crosswind landings there that 20G25 isn’t too extraordinary. Just got to plan for it and be ready to go around. Glad you guys had a nice, smooth day coming in.

[@dubdub1]

Love your stuff keep up the good work!

[@dblairw]

Gents - Great job here ! This is the BEST King Air video I've ever seen - nothing else even comes close . . . And, it must be the ultimate King Air 200 in the skies -- the updated avionics really stand out along with the many other upgrades you mentioned

[@SyberPrepper]

Great job on the video. Glad you got to go on this flight. Always more to learn.

[@graysono]

Another brilliant video sir. Your introduction is very professional. From watching, you are so ready to be right seat for an airline! Lovely machine too!

[@meridianpilot9813]

Great video. Thanks for taking the time to put it together.

[@billfarnham1592]

Love the Beech twins. Before I had to quit flying, a friend had a nice B58 Baron that was just wonderful!

[@markemanuele1929]

This reminds me of when I used to accompany my flight instructor on ferry trips. I got quite a bit of multi-engine time and actual instrument time doing this back in the 1980's.

[@JoshuaW]

Appreciated the video format for this presentation. Thanks for sharing a different flight with us.

[@BenA-bu1cz]

Thanks for bringing us along. Great flight.

[@gwc3soccerplyr]

Enjoying the longer content, keep it up!

[@VentShop]

Loved the video, great to see everything happening. Trying to see what I can do to get up and flying soon. Awesome flight in a gorgeous plane.

[@daveogarf]

LOVE the long format videos, Josh! Being able to sit "back seat" on the King Air, as especially in the R22 copter was an incredible thrill. Justin is an amazing pilot, and you 'flew' the right seat to perfection. Please do more. -Dave

[@bobrewer202]

Outstanding. Glad you kept it all

[@FlyingbyFaith]

Loved the video thanks guys, watching from the Philippines. Met your channel before I went to Missionary pilot training, now I’m doing what I love, thanks for helping me on my journeys. God bless

[@paulmorrisette1581]

Awesome flight Josh & Justin. Thank you both for what you contribute GA.

[@mrmike1235]

Thanks Josh for keeping the long version. PIC seems like a great pilot. The King Air is great aircraft but with with two engines and cost, I would opt for a jet or TBM. Thanks for sharing the part 91 flight.

[@broadwayblues]

Great video. I enjoyed every single moment of this video!

[@740733]

Really enjoyed the longer video with all the radio work! Pretty awesome you got to do this flight in a King Air, thanks for sharing!

[@mikemcnamara1986]

Outstanding video.Timeless. Thank you.

[@IllFlyIt]

I really enjoyed this video. The longer duration videos are great. I know how challenging it can be for you editing a 2+ hour multi-angle flight! The hard work is paying off, your videos are great!

[@OscarMikeF150]

Excellent video. Takeoffs and landings in King Air are what I'm studying closely right now so glad I could see both parts. I'm only flying a simulator but seeing what you guys do in the real thing is both inspiring and instructional. Thanks so much for creating the videos

[@flyingnp4924]

Great Video Josh. The King Air is one of my all time favorite planes.

[@keithfreeman5204]

That was GREAT. Pilot, good job, very smooth. I learned a bit. The visual was awesome. You just gotta keep up making vids. Thanks again. This just made my day.

[@retcdnmilengr]

Great video, you both did an awesome job! Keep em coming

[@rickscott7350]

Brought back lots of memories. I was a Naval Aircrewman on the UC-12B (Beach super 200C) as a crew chief, and have close to 1500 hours in it. Got lots of stick time on dead heads and ran right seat several times. We ran from Wichita to Brunsiwck Maine and worked KC quite a bit. Funny thing kept needing to ask for Victor Freq, they kept giving me 200mhz freqs. Thanks for giving this old guy a smile.

[@markjohnson8736]

Awesome flight! Thanks for sharing.

[@BrandonHowle]

Thanks for the video Josh. This is a great example of how trained pilots can work together like a well oiled machine.

[@blight4699]

Another awesome video Josh. Keep em coming!!

[@gnufz8623]

Awesome flight, awesome video - Thanks for your effort!

[@TomTalley]

Great job of working together. Thanks for leaving the videos long...For those of us who don't get to fly any more, any moment looking at the panel and out the window is a good one...A few comments about cross wind landings. There are two parts to them. I hear you talk a lot about the first part, getting the plane on the ground safely...(wing down, crab then straighten...etc.)...The second part nearly got me a Hobbs one day. Strong cross wind from the right. As the airplane slowed, the effectiveness of the tail surface diminished slowly until about 40 miles per hour it was almost gone...the plane wind-socked slowly into the wind....first I ran out of rudder, then I ran out of brake (locking up the downwind brake just as we passed between two runway lights on the right.) That second part was a doozy...We knew we were at the limit for the aircraft, and the runway was very wide. Guess if I had known how bad it was going to get, I would have landed a little across the runway so that I had more room on the upwind side when everything said turn right... Great job on the videos...thanks for taking us along.

[@LA-ep2nr]

Outstanding. Great video and I liked everything. Truly professional.

[@bertdellaluna5612]

Thanks for the smooth air. Catch you on the turn around.

[@yurandicianni1055]

Awesome video, Josh! Really happy you shared this video!

[@robertsekul16]

As always your did a great job on the edits and the comms. Well done!

[@brentjohnson6654]

Thanks for the ride along Josh. Another great video.

[@davidharding5000]

Terrific experience to ride along with you and Justin in the longer, cleaner version. He is the consummate professional pilot. When Justin mentioned the King Air had been repainted, it reminded me of the time you flew your Cessna to receive a fresh coat of paint and I thought, "Man, Josh sure has come a long way in his piloting journey!" Thanks for what you do. Keep up the great work!

[@zoltanszabo5171]

Great video! Thanks for sharing.

[@IrishManJT]

Excellent. Thanks for the ride.

[@kestrel5065]

Excellent teamwork in the cabin and clarity of video first class.

[@davidtesch3205]

Pure professionalism ! Great to see !!!!

[@davalf04]

As always excellent video! As for the longer videos, I didn't care for the length of the city tour video. Just because it is something you've shown several times. But this video was perfect. It actually left me wanting more!

[@garyburgess1251]

Very enjoyable ride along. Glad you kept it long.

[@andrehufschmid]

Thanks for this. Awesome video.

[@brianm9223]

Love the kingair especially with the g 1000 , great video thanks for sharing

[@briancrossno]

Awesome video. I've watched all your videos and your doing a fantastic job. Keep it up

[@lugash4]

great experience!!!! thanks for up-loading.......more please...if poss.....thanks to both of you guys.

[@justincase5272]

You were indeed successful at allowing us all to experience the flight en toto, exactly as you did. Great job as first officer!

[@Windward65]

Great job! And great flying Justin. B200 is a favorite

[@trinipilot2246]

All of your videos are great. But this was really awesome, glad you didn't edit it!! Wasn't too long at all. It's always great to experience something new with flying. Thank you once again.

[@simon-christopherchung885]

Love the videos you make man!! Much respect from Jamaica.

[@charlescobb86]

My favorite video of yours! Thanks

[@call911forcookies2]

These longer videos are the best! Keep em coming!

[@stevensrmek3546]

Great video as always Josh

[@aviationfascination]

Great video Josh!!

[@paultaylor9939]

Great flight nice plane and well documented thanks and stay safe cheers Paul

[@fordcf20001]

I like the longer videos! Once I heard Angel Fire, I was ready to watch.

[@dr.chrisketo7193]

Thank you! Reading checklists is professional.... I hope you had many good experiences in the meantime! Enjoying life and staying a healthy pilot.

[@toddwoods582]

Another Great Video Josh...enjoyed it.

[@davidadams5781]

Great video. They just keep getting better. I really like the King Air.

[@jaymahaffey4133]

Very well done. I don't fly much anymore but one day I will. Kids are about grown and I'm about to do it again. It's a long story but I remember longing to fly like this. Life took me a different way but I still appreciate it all. Keep going, what you are doing matters, whether it's to somebody like me that wants to hobby fly into the sunset or somebody 18 years old that wants to roar into the sky like I did back then.

[@braydenclimbs2115]

Great job josh!

[@benfranklin2450]

Thank you so much for this great video .

[@chrislawrence194]

Great video I used 2 build the t-tail for the 200 and 300. Loved working at Beech/Raytheon

[@craigsmith6164]

Really interesting video. Thanks Josh!

[@Veritas1992]

It’s always great to see fledgling aviator get opportunities to fly new aircraft. That’s pretty much how I got into flying corporate. When I was a line tech I was in the right place and the right time and got my high altitude Endorsement in a CJ2. I flew King Airs Part 135 for awhile then just recently a Citation Mustang and CJ1. Last week I had to pick up the Mustang for maintenance and took one of my previous students with me so he could get some right seat experience.

[@RockyMtPilot]

Justin, I love your videos! Always aspired to fly, however my military career has left me disabled. I still get to fly on my simulator at home though. Watching your videos are the next best thing to flying in my opinion. Keep up the great work Sir!

[@WindowLickingDeer]

Which simulator do you use? I use X-Plane 11. I'm hoping to become a pilot. I would love to fly a King Air, they seem like such great planes.

[@RockyMtPilot]

@@WindowLickingDeer I almost exclusively use MSFS 2020 now. It is by far the best simulator around now. Xplane just fell behind in quality, and their aircraft are too expensive. They had a good run for quite a while though, and I am glad they had set the bar for so long.

[@neilsheets1098]

Another great video!

[@robertdmoore2592]

Love the KA-200! I work for a Beechcraft dealership for 14+yrs and been through many, many 200's the biggest event I went through at Beech was way back there was an AD to change the fwd outbd wing spar and it only gave a few flight hrs to remove them, we had so many 200's stacked on our ramp, that was a tough job, I'll bet we did 35 to 40 KA's I've turned wrenches for 35+ yrs and I'd say 30 of those on Beechcraft! Great, great aircraft.

[@geraldklotz9097]

Just watching the video has become high tech Josh ,only say you must be loving it . kinda like being a company pilot it,s really cool to watch you make videos for us all to watch don't ever stop , easy to see it's something you have a natural talent for.

[@fraserwatt6417]

An excellent video, showing how things SHOULD be done. Very good.

[@elhusseinabdelhady6196]

excellent video thanks for sharing the experience

[@eldgitar]

14:14 this is the coolest shot I have ever seen, both pilots with arms crossed, with sunglasses like a Boss's, Your channel is amazing, I don't know how to fly, but this is so interesting for me and just how professional you are, you will en up being an awesome Capt.

[@yeastydynasty]

Love these videos.

[@bigdave4863]

Excellent flight and video!

[@Jacklangefeld]

This is one of my favorites Josh. Very well done, and it looked like a blast! Still love the 172 though! Also, the longer videos are awesome.

[@gmaclaren]

Enjoyed the flight! Thanks very much.

[@runsky-lecieldelareunion344]

Pro in the plane, pro in video making, a real pleasure to share this flight Josh, you did a great job. You got a fan, here, in the middle of indian ocean 👍

[@MrNice-gw5dt]

great ride thanks!

[@Valantir]

Grandfather flew a King air 200 for as long as I was alive. Love that aircraft and have fingers crossed to command my own soon

[@AlainCorona]

Another great vlog!!

[@davethepilot9881]

Great video Josh, I really enjoyed it! You've gotta love the XM radio, most of our new Carbon Cubs with the Garmin G3X have it installed, it makes the long hours during engine break in more enjoyable!
