Frigid Icy Desert To Sunny New Orleans In A Private Jet!

[@geodesy2009]

By FAR your best right seater Max.

[@actuallyitskevin]

I couldn’t imagine feeling any more in good hands as a passenger.

[@davidkost418]

I’m not a pilot but I love watching you guys fly. Thanks for the great videos

[@renatejohansen4509]

aokey

[@JeremyMyersmusic]

I'm telling you, Mindy makes this channel so much more enjoyable. It'd be nice to have her on regularly!

[@CitationMax]

Thanks for watching! It’s definitely been great having Mindy on the channel recently. She’s a great pilot

[@richardguisinger]

@@CitationMax Yes, except for her "folksy" phraseology. Gonna get her in trouble someday.. Retired Center Controller.

[@emeryschramm9518]

@@richardguisinger What phraseology are you referring to? I thought she gave very clear and professional ATC communications.

[@aaronmacrae6506]

Max you are without a doubt the best pilot on KZbin. how you structure your videos, and constantly informing the viewers what you are exactly doing and how it works is just awesome! Hope you’re well!

[@CitationMax]

Wow that is very nice of you to stay and it means a lot. Thank you for being apart of the channel! Take care.

[@peteraitchison2147]

[@markhowell3916]

Lovely co-pilot Max. Hope she stays with you because she will learn a lot from you. She stated that she is new to this,

[@Rich65501]

Wonderful video. Let's see more Max and Mindy cross country flights.

[@JPEaglesandKatz]

Such a cool jet... Not a pilot but love the sound of those engines starting and ramping up... Great duo there max and Mindy!! You guys get to have some awesome views outside the cockpit windows!

[@marksimpson3968]

What a great team you guys make! Citation Dad has to be proud to ride along with you guys at the control. Thanks for bringing us along too! Blue skies to both of you! ✈️

[@CitationMax]

Thank you Mark! Glad you enjoyed the video and Really appreciate your nice words. Take care!

[@animan756]

Was @ 5 y/o in the back seat of a Tri-pacer landing at night, back in ‘56 first time. Landing here ALWAYS means something to me.

[@SamSam-ip7pj]

I just saw the pet rescue, awesome, people who love pets are the best, Thank you for helping all pets, 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾

[@davidc5027]

Looked like the ground crew was just going to let the piece of brush make its way over to the engine. Luckily it didn't happen.

[@gordonsimpson3235]

Good one Max.....Mindy has fitted right in.

[@joeshmooo5327]

Love watching you two fly together. Really interesting stuff

[@CitationMax]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video.

[@lerkzor]

25:22 Pontchartrain bridge is right at 24 miles (38.6Km) shoreline-to-shoreline; actual bridge may be longer over-land on each shore.

[@rodneywatson7855]

Max, it's your attention to detail that sets you out against the rest. You don't make mistakes because you take your time and think about everything that needs thinking about. And of course Mindy is a great bonus to have on board at any time. Love you guys.

[@CitationMax]

Hi Rodney! Thank you very much for your incredibly kind words. It means a lot! Really appreciate you being a part of my channel! Take care and see ya on the next video.

[@gregf438]

Great flight, Schmindy rocked the right seat.

[@av8or971]

Wow,that rampie just walked right by the tumbleweed and did not bother to pick up the FOD.

[@cappy9867]

The CRM practiced by both these professionals exceptional...crew briefing on take off and landing are clear and well planned...great moment when Mindy reminds ATC they needed a handoff!! Good Stuff!!

[@CitationMax]

Thanks Cappy! Glad you enjoyed the video and appreciate your nice words. Hope all is well and see ya on the next video

[@JohnJohn-fm8py]

The Causeway bridge , it’s 24 miles long over water

[@Starman2319]

You're a great team, both. Thanks for letting us fly along, Max. Keep on keeping on. Stay safe.

[@CitationMax]

Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed the video. Take care.

[@km0e69]

Lake Pontchartrain causeway bridge is 24 miles long. The original span opened August 30, 1956. That bridge is now the west bridge with the east bridge opening in 1969.

[@CitationMax]

Thanks very much for the info Jim!

[@LouisSpectorCMT]

lol. The Get Outta Here transition.

[@Mikeabq1]

I flew out of ABQ and AEG from 1997 to 2014. Love seeing NM and hearing ABQ Center again. Thanks.

[@CitationMax]

Awesome! Thanks for watching Mike!

[@ClaytonRW65]

Both of my favorite "KZbin Aviation Channels" together as one. Wow...Thanks. "The Causeway Bridge spans 24 miles over Lake Pontchartrain"

[@Bobstern]

Not a good place to play chicken with your fuel levels.

[@ClaytonRW65]

That's the truth.

[@jhogoboom]

Was away on business last week. Great flight as usual. You and Mindy really make a great team. Fun to watch the interaction between you. Thanks for doing this!!

[@CitationMax]

Thank you for watching Jack!

[@forthrightnight]

Schmindy is schamazing. Amazing as well that one pilot can fly the damn thing. Max and Greg make it look easy.

[@Schmiiindy]

Thanks for having me on this trip, Max!!! So great to fly 2RF 🫡

[@cdalton3169]

Schmiiindy, you’re awesome in 2 Romeo Foxtrot! I know Max and his family enjoy your company and your skills! Great vid.

[@skyepilotte11]

Well done...like Schmiidly as 1st officer...Great crew work.

[@pssryan]

Did my instrument training out of KNEW! 18R is a fun approach over the water. The Causeway is quite the construction….but the Spillway is even longer! Hope you enjoyed Nawlins!

[@stevemyers2092]

thank you both - nice flight. clear skies to both of you

[@MartyBecker]

Really enjoying this series. Both of you make a great crew.

[@franklincornelius9373]

Max, it's a pleasure to watch you and your sometimes crew. I bot a new 1980 182 and learned how to fly it from Albuquerque, NM. It was on my bucket list and later it was on to other things. When I stopped flying at least once a week, I sold it. It's great to watch you and your attention to detail, kinda reminds me of me back then. Keep it up!

[@soxplayer3907]

Awesome I love watching.. especially with a beautiful copilot..😍

[@hawghead4596]

I have passed Lakefront Airport and crossed Lake Ponchartrain thousands of time on a train. I was (retired) a railroad engineer, and it was amazing watching planes land and take off out into the lake.

[@CitationMax]

Ah that’s awesome! Yes very unique and cool airport. Thanks for watching the video!

[@fatesandmyths]

Great video. You work together as a team in the cockpit so well. I hope to see more of content like this in the future

[@CitationMax]

Thanks very much for watching!

[@tightlines601]

Awesome always love the process, pilots in sync and of course getting Citation Dad around. Keep ‘em coming! Also the purple lens flares at 19:36 pretty special

[@CitationMax]

Thanks very much Jay!

[@1900intz]

Nice flight. Thanks Max and Mindy.

[@CitationMax]

Thank you Bo! Glad you enjoyed it. See ya on the next video. Take care

[@stevenseidman7751]

I have been using the E checklist on our Mustangs G1000NXi for over a year. It took a bit to get used to it, but I use is always and really like it. I wish we had it on our G3000.

[@anthonygallegos3891]

Always enjoy. Great team work. Hope you enjoyed your stay in Santa Fe and found the architecture and culture enjoyable. I am looking forward to your next video.

[@CitationMax]

Thanks Anthony! Santa Fe was unique and enjoyable. Appreciate you watching!

[@MJ-fh8fw]

Bridge coming into NOLA is called Lake Pontchartrain Causeway, it's 23 miles long.

[@CitationMax]

Great info. Thank you!

[@nilslindenblad9856]

Are you going to Sun n Fun this year?

[@SalmanAsgher-b2k]

Mix bro you are a good pilot ❤in the world

[@vtailv35]

I used to fly from ABQ TO THE STAR pattern, back in the old days when flying was really fun, did it in a Lear 23 couple times . The wind used to come from a lot of different directions Santa Fe was great port , so great Churches and Restaurants to go to. Spent long time in New Mexico great area to o explore!

[@kevincollins8014]

It's always so much fun riding along with you. That approach over the lake was amazing. As always thanks for bringing us along and blessings to you and your family Max!

[@CitationMax]

Thanks Kevin! Glad you enjoyed the video. Hope all is well. Take Care

[@aaronscholl640]

Beautiful! Welcome to Nola! I think that the lake Pontchartrain Causeway is still the worlds longest bridge! Try to have a Cafe du Monde beignet or 4 with their coffee!!

[@MrJohnBos]

Love seeing Schmindy on your flights.

[@PaulGarthAviation]

Rocks, paper, scissors. Max: Drat! I'll do preflight.

[@MarkT36]

Of course there's a tumbleweed rolling past the plane in NM.

[@quicktastic]

Nice to see your workload decreased a bit on takeoff and approach with a good copilot on board.

[@thomasmixson7064]

22 mile bridge, Lake Front...dangerous crosswinds causing shears because of buildings, often easy spatial disorientation on departure & arrival, & the site of my only FAA Ramp Check ever. All was in order & the brand new 152 could easily pass any scrutiny.

[@farmerj1]

You all have a great cockpit...both very focused on doing things by the book. I appreciate the attention to detail!

[@CitationMax]

Thank you Jim. That’s the only way to do it! Appreciate you watching the video. Take care!

[@jimrascal9415]

next time you guys are down there, try the restaurant in the old terminal building.......... good stuff.......

[@johnfriend862]

That's Lake Pontchartrain, the bridge is right at 24 miles long.

[@CitationMax]

Thank you John!

[@nick198326]

That is the Causeway Bridge. It's the longest bridge in the U.S. It connects the Northshore of Lake Pontchartrain to the Southshore of Lake Pontchartrain. The bridge is 24 miles long.

[@norcalvraviators5899]

You’ve come a long way from “CirrusMax” days! Lookin good buddy!

[@CitationMax]

Thank you! It’s definitely been a journey. Appreciate you continuing to be apart of my channel. Take care!

[@williamdaley8776]

Outstandng videos. I am retired and flew helicopters for 33yrs. Your videos show me what I missed flying fixed wing jets.

[@CitationMax]

Thanks so much for watching! Means a lot.

[@garrymorrison1769]

Nice flight into NOLA with a great co pilot.

[@CitationMax]

Thank you for watching Garry! Hope all is well.

[@TIO540S1]

Oh sure. I’ve seen 160 knot winds too. 10 degrees off my nose 😡 lol.

Welcome to Nola! Causeway is 24 miles long. Saw you depart KNEW.

[@CitationMax]

Thank you. And Ah awesome!

[@craigblakes5499]

Okay, y'all flew over Lubbock lol. Yea that bridge is long, I think it's 20 miles long, I couldn't wait to get off if it when I drove to New Orleans lol

[@CitationMax]

Ha yeah it’s definitely long! Thanks for the info Craig! Take care.

[@cgr6513]

I 10 bridge is 24 miles long....love your videos...thanks!

[@CitationMax]

Thank you very much!

[@dantepergher8448]

Regarding the Electronic Checklist, I have on a G3000 Phenom 300 and I love it. Very intuitive. You’ll like it.

[@QFWP]

The third episode of the long trip for CitationDad. He must be relaxed having Mindy there as well. You two definitely work well together.

[@CitationMax]

Thank you Lindsay! Hope all is well

[@Mikinct]

Question for you or the group. I know how Vnav works but can you explain when one activities it while on IFR flight plan & ATC tells you when & how far to decend. If you see TOD approaching but ATC hasn't yet cleared you to defend how does that work?

[@josephyourk3584]

Max...how do you keep all the conversations straight? Is there anyway to block out everybody but your plane? It drives me nuts but as the consummate professional you handle it with ease.

[@philipgledhill7227]

I mindy and cation max. How's life treating you both ok.Hope all is well. What a brilliant flight with awesome weather. With beautiful scenery. Keep safe and well and good luck for the future phil.

[@tazzaler]

Love NOLA, flown into that airport in sim; NEW has always interested me with the runway into the water. Baller to see you fly into it.

[@CitationMax]

Yeah totally agree! It’s a very unique airport. Thanks for watching Chris

[@saberman1]

Love this channel. Question what is the brand and model of her sunglasses? Love them. Thanks.

[@daveminion6209]

Great job Max, your flights / videos are always a breath of fresh air, and a brief time in the sky is always a joy. May the angels and "TURKEYS" cont to guide and protect you and family as you aviate the Friendly Skies.

[@jessekiefer0206]

The view looks great! Chico!

[@chrischain_]

Loved seeing the filed vs flown and direct distances! Another great one Max.

[@shannonravi20]

Hi I work at MSY Louis Armstrong Intl airport ( NO aviation board)! have a safe landing here and welcome to New Orleans! Flying with Signature is the best!

[@shannonravi20]

ahhh You guys landed at the Lakefront airport! Awesome!

[@W1RMD]

Great video! Weird question, but what happened to the plane at the 2:20 mark that just seemed to disappear?

[@johnnyquest5942]

Hope you ate Brunch at the ROYAL Sonesta or Brennan’s you folks have absolute discipline in the cockpit … Thank you so much for video

[@bhollingsworth]

I was on vacation and missed this one Max! Another great video and love the change in scenery. New airports are always fun to see you fly in to. Cheers!

[@N_Wheeler]

8:46 @CitationMax went from his usual 'Yaw Dampener' to 'Yaw Damp' instead of 'Yaw Damper' like in the checklist - I call this a Win.

[@robertmurray9022]

I think the bridge is 25 miles long. When I was in the I did some training in this area.

[@bobblblack]

Your videos are the most relaxing part of my day - thanks!!

[@CitationMax]

That’s great to hear! Thank you for watching.

[@bobblack6816]

I have said this before but you two make a terrific team! Mindie is a real pro! Total pros!!

[@N_Wheeler]

1:00 to 1:10 what is that, a TUMBLEWEED going past the left engine intake during start !

[@bruceerwin2541]

Did it, Max. KSAF to KNEW 2.0hrs.flat, similar tail winds, Citation-X in XP-12, XP Flight Planner routing. Beats me why Cessna took this speed demon off the market. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@shreddder999]

22:23 With Mindy .... With ̶I̶ ME

[@jpruiz600]

The bridge is called the Causeway bridge and it's just under 24 miles long. When driving on it, once you get to the middle of the bridge, you can see land in either direction because of the curvature of the earth.

[@CitationMax]

Thank you for the info JP! Appreciate it.

[@RobertConserva]

I waved back as you all flew over Wichita! 👋🏼🛩️

[@CitationMax]

Thank you Robert!

[@pacset2]

awesome flight Max

[@CitationMax]

[@Adam_Gray]

Nice flight ✈down to the Big Easy ⚜ with a great view of the Causeway Bridge! C-ya!

[@MrCliffypoo]

That is the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway, 24 miles long bridge which is the longest over the water bridge.

[@BrittneeDrummer]

Love MSY! Drank some cold drinks with Steveo down there when he had the TBM out of FL during a Hurricane a few years back Hope you all got to take in some in some Nawlins while there @Citationmax

[@L0vbn56y]

Lake Pontchartrain Causeway is 23.8 miles and connects Jefferson Parish with St. Tammany Parish.

[@Jeff-m5x3j]

Been following Mindy ever since she flew with Stevo many years ago. You guys work really well together and I hope to see you team up more in the future.
