Gulfstream G-IV Flight - Montana to California (SUBZERO TEMPS)

Come with me to work as we fly this Gulfstream G-IV from Bozeman, MT (KBZN) to my home airport of San Jose, CA (KSJC)! Today I am flying with my good friend Brad, who is newly typed on the Gulfstream and discusses his successful career as a contract corporate pilot. I discuss some of the cold weather considerations, take you through the preflight, taxi, takeoff and more. Please enjoy!

One of the best videos yet 🔥

Trying to be on your level bro 🔥

[@brycehays1426]

Agreed! I saw Owen on JR Aviation, and I'm glad for all the infotainment.

Absolutely love the professionalism on this flight deck. Awesome checklist usage and crew coordination. You guys could show a lot of people how it's done!

Thank you!

You both seem like such nice dudes. Congrats on all you’re both achieving in aviation.

[@FlyWithOwen]

Thank you!

[@baomao7243]

Great career advice. We all imagine a linear career progression, but often it’s is pretty disjointed and nonlinear. Taking advantage of all forms of expertise brings benefits. (As an example, I know a CFII who got blocked from the airlines just as was ATP qualified - COVID shut down all the airline opportunities - and he decided he just wanted to spend more time around jets. So he worked in Napa at an FBO simply marshaling planes, driving the fuel truck, changing blue water, etc. But he flagged any issues he saw to the pilots and owners. Boom - during one of those chats he got invited to fly with them. He is now type rated. True story. 👍)

[@FlyWithOwen]

Very true! Love hearing those success stories. Thanks for watching.

[@mattbradstock1276]

Current tower controller here. It’s a breathe of fresh air to hear two pilots in the same plane with as much chemistry and experience as the pilots in this vid. We deal with predominantly regional jets and air taxis and our ga jet traffic is low at around 10%. I got routed to this video after watching you and your buddies buy a Mustang and fly it home. Watching you left seat a Citation and then right seat a G4 was friggin amazing. I feel all these new “airline pilots” don’t have the passion or chemistry to fly anywhere as smooth as you and the two co-pilots I’ve watched you fly with. It’s the tiniest things that start the snowball. Attention to detail and enthusiasm will allow you to do whatever you want for as long as you want.

[@perleycarmichael5498]

Owen, an ol retired. Spent lots of time in cockpits, and totally loved it. The Jet Gulfstream were new. Flew the II & III. Absolute wonderful AC. Had a BA Captain in my cockpit , that was the initial trainer of the supersonic for them, and stated the G III quite the performer. It sure is, and ours were early era. A real treat for you.😊. I enjoy you videos!! No matter what, you’re blessed to be there. Always “ humble”….😊

[@FlyWithOwen]

Awesome! I would love to fly a 1159 someday. I’m jealous. Thanks for watching!

That was extremely good advice, sometimes bridges need to be burned but if it’s possible maintain those relationships. It doesn’t cost you a thing and never know when that relationship may have a very positive impact on you or allow you to have an impact on someone else.

Hey Owen! So interesting how Brad's story is pretty much exactly your story. You put yourself out there, said yes to every job, started out washing airplanes, and networked your butt off. To quote a country song, 'You got it honest.' It stood out to me when you both 'mentioned 5yrs ago'. So inspiring! As for having 50kts on the falcon my best guess is it was actually a falcon...as in the bird :) Great video, great edit...thank you so very much for all you're doing to show it's all possible.

I'm a truck driver and drive by the glass enclosed hanger where Nike keeps their three Gulfstream five's. I call the hanger the "glass display case." I can imagine if I had nearly one quarter of a billion dollars to drop on some wings, I would proudly display them too. Great video. Thank you for sharing, and safe journeys.

I can see you are a confident guy - which is great - but based on your interactions with Brad, you thankfully aren't letting that confidence be contaminated with cockiness. Despite being very impressive pilot in your own right, you are are still respectful of Brad and don't interrupt him at any point. I really admire that quality and imagine it's helped you get so far in your career at such a young age. Hats off to you, sir.

Thanks for sharing this. Don’t see too many Gulfstream videos like this. For reference, flying the Gulfstream doesn’t appear to be too much different than an airliner at all.
