Full Flight Nashville, TN to Arkansas In My 50 Year Old Airplane!

[@danielmosey6203]

If anyone wants a lesson on situational awareness and staying ahead of the aircraft, all of these videos demonstrate this to perfection. Any aspiring pilot should set their bar to Kay and try to get to it. Fantastic airmanship.

[@echo6echo419]

"A minimum standard or requirement is a starting place, NOT a goal" Kay should be the minimum!!

[@danielmosey6203]

@@echo6echo419 Well until we start seeing ALL qualified and checked pilots getting to the minimum standard, then you have a point. We do not see this, so this is not a bad bar to set is it!!

[@RobertoRodriguez63]

Thank you for sharing your videos. You've inspired me, at age 60, to go get my pilot's license. I started about 10 years ago, but for a variety of reasons I had to abandon before I really got started. I'm in a situation where I have a lot more time now, so I'm definitely making this happen.

[@roygonzalez7880]

Roberto I congradulate you for trying to get your private pilots license. Idon't do it because Ican't past the medical physical

[@RobertoRodriguez63]

​Well, @@roygonzalez7880 , I'm getting my physical next month. We'll see if I can get past that myself.

[@mrstyle_67]

Kay, it doesn't matter what kind of day I'm having you'll definitely add nothing but positivity and enjoyment watching you. As I've mentioned in comments before your routine of always doing detailed call outs of your check list. You are the epitome of the best example of a well trained and responsible GA pilot. I would love flying with you sometime if you ever fly down to Georgia.

[@jwilson5072]

you fly with so much confidence....your a very good pilot and such a professional love your channel..

[@billcrystal]

What’s cool about you flying? You’re happy when you fly by yourself and you’re also happy when your dad or mom is fine with you as well. You have a great disposition.

[@francisflood8921]

Yay... Clarksville, TN!!!! 👍

[@RedLeafRFO]

These are great to watch! Thank you for all the work put into your channel. I had 10 hours towards a Rec permit flying a Cherokee 140 while I was in high school. Easily my biggest regret not finishing it. Beautiful plane ✈️

[@frankhiatt5295]

Ever since they switched to high fructose corn syrup I prefer Coke. It just tastes better to me. I really appreciate and enjoy your videos. 🤗🥰

[@myckee]

Hey Canuck, don't give up. You still have time. Go get it!!

[@RedLeafRFO]

@@myckee Thank you Sir, Merry Christmas 🎄

[@kathrynaraguz4816]

Whats really funny?? my daughter was on that southwest flight that you were having to deal with on the ground... she came home from my parents house ("mom there was a tiny little cute red plane on the runway'' ) she loved seeing your plane

[@trentonwalker7903]

Thank you for stopping in at KCDH!! Glad to have you!!

It was a quick stop but lovely none the less🥰

Kay is formant. Can't give her enough praise.

Please continue flying safely amazing Kay of the skies! ✈️👍🏻👩‍✈️

[@tomwarner2468]

Seeing the soda reminds me of the Japanese fighter pilot who left his airbase with an orange soda, he opened it at around 20,000 ft and it went all over him and the cockpit! Mission didn't go well for him, he was almost shot down, permanently injured!! He made it back barely!

[@charlesgresham9892]

Merry Christmas from a 68 yo living the dream through you, Jason and Jimmy!

[@jasonfletcher8270]

Thanks for stopping at our airport (Harrell Field). If I’d known you were there I would have bought your fuel!

[@FlyWithKay]

Oh my gosh no need!! The airport was great and I was in and out but I so appreciate it!!

[@clk430c]

I, too, really enjoy your videos. Please continue them for as long as you can. Safe travels!

Merry Christmas Kay, diet 7-up is my preference, great flight, even with the head winds!

[@thomaselmore-zp9wz]

Kay I just want to say thanks for making your videos they are awesome great stuff thankyou

[@SublimeArchi]

Next time you come to Nashville, check out the Exit/In...great little music venue. I saw the Toadies there a couple years ago and it was fantastic.

[@PsychoCPU]

You 100% need to get to Broadway if you want live music. I'm in Hopkinsville, Ky but am from Tennessee and frequent Nashville often. It's only about a 15 minute Uber from John C. Tune to downtown, or if you're going to stay a few days Turo is a great option. Also, Nashville has become a pretty big foodie spot. I recommend The Black Tap, it's slightly less crowded since it isn't on Broadway but has some amazing food, like their Korean BBQ wings and milkshakes with entire slices of cake on top of them.

[@davidstebenne5315]

Kay, always a pleasure flying with you. I had an office in Nashville for several years. My 3 favorite places are Monel’s for breakfast, Pattersons for a 5 Pm cocktail, and the Hutton Hotel to stay. In face I’ll be there for a pleasure trip in May. Someone mentioned the Grand Old Opry, and it’s an awesome venue for a show. Hope you make it back there soon. D

[@GregPhillips-t5r]

You have the sweetest voice and I love hearing you say alright. Have a wonderful flight ✈️. ❤❤❤❤

[@toddwilliam8393]

Kay, I like your instrument panel…the black background makes the 6 pack easy to see

[@whoguy4231]

You're a great role model for aspiring female pilots and pilots overall ... Thanks for the ride 👍

[@davidchambers9953]

Hay Kay hall. I got your book yesterday. I will have time this weekend to start reading the book Kay hall

[@Motgimble327]

Hi Kay, just joined today. I love what you do because you fully explain what you are doing and why when flying which is great knowledge for those of us beginners. Thank you sooo much!👍👍❤️

[@mikehuskey9098]

I admire how well you align with center line on approach and nail it there. And when you’re down you’re always spot on the the center line all through your rollout! It really looks nice and it’s a testament to your self discipline.

[@eddielaverty1255]

Wishing you kay -all a happy Christmas & new year from bonnie Scotland.....

[@jesusjesus801]

Enjoyed your video, ive never flown before, appreciate you Kay. stay safe up there and be blessed 🙏

[@logic-facts]

I have flown my drone over Nashville. Been to that airport hundreds of times (as I used to be a prescription deliverer). I just found your channel. I am from Florida but lived in Houston and Nashville. I am terrified of heights but for some reason I love these types of videos.

[@parksengland1500]

Anytime you're in Nashville, Broadway St is the place for live music and entertainment! Hope this helps... Great video, thank for sharing and Happy New Year!

[@PapaRick68]

Always enjoy your vids, I live in Nashville and did my flight training at BNA On your next visit, stay at a downtown hotel if you want to experience the tourist thang. Downtown too crowded for me. Otherwise, stay at one of the hotels near BNA, I recommend the Element by Westin. Uber to downtown will cost ~$25 depending on time of day

[@phillipdaulton9861]

I used to be an A&P in Nashville. At that time (1981 - 1995), Tune Airport was right next to a landfill. Bird strikes and animal runway incursions were frequent. We had a DH-125 land at BNA on our ramp (Hangar 9) with a deer lodged in the right engine. It had departed from Tune and collected the deer on takeoff. What a mess.

[@johnw.burroughsjr.3497]

i have my private lisc. but i cannot fly anymore so I enjoy watching your videos so much

[@jcc6789]

If you're in Nashville you must go downtown to Music Row. It's nothing but restaurants with music, bar after bar with music and dancing - music, food.... mind boggling! Must do - Grand Ole Opry, Country Music Hall of Fame, drive to historic Franklin and Leipers Fort. Girl, u missed ALL the fun! Diet Coke!!!

[@jugheadjones5458]

Fly in to the Murfreesboro airport sometime. Middle Tennessee State University has a great aviation degree program and parks several airplanes at the Murfreesboro airport. Recently they just made a deal with the Shelbyville airport to expand their program. Shelbyville is about 20 miles due south of Murfreesboro. If you fly in to the ‘Boro you gotta let us know. Be safe up there and keep smiling.

[@jimdavis7666]

Hi Kay, being from Nashville and living in Florida your Nashville video pulled on my heart strings! And to answer your question I prefer Coke over Pepsi.

[@KevinSmithAviation]

Hi Kay. This is my first time committing. Next time you are needing a stop in Arkansas, check out KCXW. It is a awesome non towered field northwest of Little Rock. Very well maintained, great FBO with full service fuel. I am currently training there for my PPL. Keep up the great work. Safe skies.

[@JeffXram]

Idea to keep your hot chocolate or beverage warm longer. Ask the store for an extra empty cup the same size. If they are hesitant you let you have it them know it's because you want to split it with someone else. Then use the empty cup around yours... two cups stacked together. It will stay warm a lot longer. It works for me! :)

[@joshhoman]

It is good that you are safe, we don't always make it to where we are going! Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and be blessed always!

[@thomasveith1367]

Hi Kay, Thanks for filming a beautiful approach & night landing into Nashville. On your next visit to Nashville make sure you go downtown on Broadstreet which is the heart of Music City. I recommend Jacks for dinner which has the best BBQ in Nashville. This part of the city has dozens of Honky Tonks with as many as 3 story buildings and a band playing on every level. The music is free to listen to!!

[@rkellymiller]

Hi, Kay! As far as soda preference goes, I bypass both, and go with Mountain Dew. And being a Georgia boy, sweet tea is close second. Have a great day!

[@stanleynich]

Hope you enjoyed Nashville come back anytime, The Preston Hotel at the end of 31 used to have music on Friday and Saturday nights not sure when you were exactly here

[@8433able]

Have you ever heard of the,"Flying Fish"?? It is located @ Thruth or Consiquences,Texas

[@kerrymclerran219]

When you go to Nashville go to the Johnny Cash museum- some pretty cool stuff in there. And it’s right next to all the places with live music!

[@michaelfrost4454]

Diet Pepsi fan here, Kayviators, Pepsi is citrus base, Coke is vanilla base, so mostly affects what goes with it. Brisket chefs prefer Coke hands down, apparently the vanilla goes well with it.

[@epvfd]

Next time your in Arkansas, stop by KLIT. There is quite a few good places to eat around there and there is always interesting aircraft flying in and out of there. You might also catch a glimpse of one of Arkansas Children's Sikorsky S76 D+ out there.

[@PJ_Sloan]

BNA is my home airport. If you're coming into Nashville and plan on doing "tourist" stuff I'd land at JWN. You're going to have much less activity there than BNA and there isn't much difference to get into the city. It may even be cheaper and faster because you're not needing to deal with the wait at BNA. There is more hotel availability near BNA though so they all have shuttles. As far as things to do it will depend on what exactly you want to do. Clearly the main things are lower Broadway, bars, hot chicken and pedal taverns. (I avoid all but the hot chicken)

[@robertpilkington8968]

I like the way you explain things

[@richardmyers2155]

Try Gallatin (Music City Executive XNX) if you come back. North east of Nashville. Ben or Kyle or the other guys at Jet Access will take good care of you.

[@dwgustaf]

I don't fly in the real world but I enjoy watching videos from real world pilots because it gives me ideas for places to fly to in Flight Simulator or X-Plane. That being said, I developed a philosophy as a amateur travel photographer: every outing is a scouting mission for the next outing. It's like what you are saying about wanting to stay a few more days the next time so that you can explore. And then next time, you'll probably have a list of places you want to do a deeper dive into or areas you want to first time visit.

[@michaelradeka5797]

I enjoy your enjoyment flying. You mention your glide distance at one point. If you enable Glide Advisor in Foreflight, it will pair with your distance rings based on best glide speed for your aircraft. Just a tip in case you weren’t aware of this feature and the added safety. Continue to enjoy flying, I know I will.

[@glenziegler6953]

Recently subscribed , very much enjoying your videos, stay safe up there.

[@caydenives909]

I went to Nashville in the end of November, we stayed at the La Quinta Inn by the airport, also went to the Grand Ole Opery it was amazing.

[@TheOneAndOnlyBabyElephant]

Crosswinds are very scary, because They were very scary in my last lesson, because it went as far as when autopilot was on, the winds pushed the plane to a 30 degree angle! Those winds sure are strong, that was a butter landing tho!

[@richh650]

Your cool head while flying is so great to watch. Question... I would love to know how fuel prices fluctuate when stopping at the various airports when refueling. Your good and bad surprises in fuel prices. Please keep these videos coming Kay!

[@xoniwebmaster1]

Great video on this episode!

[@randalnoblin8492]

I stayed at comfort inn and the grand ol opry I believe it was around 3 miles from the hotel the last time I was there

[@donrotenberry6571]

Kay Thanks for the ride. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to you & your family.

[@robertmiller5230]

Stay at the Opryland Hotel It is amazing. There are arboretum corridors between buildings, a 60 ft indoor waterfalls, a small stream runs through most of it. There are at least a dozen restaurants. Take in the grand ole oprey, try a tour of Ryman Auditorium tour, the Ryman the original location of the Oprey, they cut a circle of stage out and inlaid it in the new location, so all headline performances are on the original stage planks.

[@davejones542]

Great flight. Those snacks made me hungry!

[@twotanks6427]

You are a very competent pilot. First time on your channel. I enjoyed your video.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New year to you all in the USA from Wellington Somerset in the UK 🇬🇧

[@MustangPilot1]

Hey Kay, lived in the Nashville area for over 30 years. Have lots of opinions regarding food and downtown entertainment. Btw, been to Beech River Regional a couple of times as my wife’s family lives there. Reach out when you come back. Blue skies!

[@mickeylindsey7325]

Camden is my home - my two daughters live in Nashville- odd enough to have you visit Camden , I find your videos very entertaining

[@JimG31547]

Land at John Tune and stay down town to enjoy all the entertainment. Tune is way easer to get to and in and out faster.

[@tetedur377]

The weather at Camden caught me by surprise, given how cold it was in Nashville. The forecast was 16C, which is roughly 60F. The top of your head conversion is pretty easy. Double 16 = 32. Add 30 and you get 62. It's actually 60.8, but that's the easy button conversion. Simply reverse to go from Fahrenheit to Celsius.

[@tomhocutt2013]

Oh you’re going to Texarkana…where Bert Reynolds and Jerry Reid went to The warehouse in “Smoky And The Bandit”

[@bjornengstrom6857]

Its so nice to follow your fly / björn from Sweden

[@azcharlie2009]

It makes me smile every time I see your "little red". My first airplane was N7721N, only 17 builds ahead of yours! How cool is that? I got my instrument rating in that plane in a Class Charlie airspace, KCID, back in Iowa. It was less busy than the airport I fly out of now: KAVQ, Marana (AZ) Regional... Very busy airport!

[@tetedur377]

After boot camp in San Diego, I flew to Memphis for "A" school, which is for your primary military occupational training, as well as any preparatory training needed. Most of it deals with military aviation and is located outside Memphis by I forget how many miles. After training, I flew back to San Diego for training on my specific type/model/series of aircraft. From there, I flew to the Philippines to rendezvous with my aircraft squadron, which was deployed on board an aircraft carrier in rotation to the South China Sea off the coast of Vietnam. Those are the only times I've ever flown into or out of Memphis, though I have driven through Tennessee since then.

[@quattroportelover6814]

I love all that you give us as you fly! I can't help myself but enjoy the snacks you share with us too! I in turn have to grab snacks to eat along with you as you fly hahah

[@mikec4409]

Kay, next time you go to Nashville, DO NOT miss the Grand Ole Opry. It's a fantastic show.

[@PhilipNation-xm5lh]

If you ever venture to Mena, AR, have someone take you to the American Artisans for some good food. Morgan Freeman was here not long ago having his plane worked on and came in to visit the restaurant. It's the best place in town for good, home cooked food. Donna and Rick do a great job keeping people fed! Cheers!

[@Biggin1989]

Go down by the Vanderbilt college and go to the bar and grill called "The Local" they do live music every night. Its pretty laid back with nothing to worry about. You'd enjoy it

[@johnbrooks1269]

Few folks know the US has a remarkable network of small airports across our nation. Thanks to the forward thinking early flying pioneers. I don't fly anymore, so I enjoy so much tagging along with you Kay. Thank you and may you always have tailwinds and smooth air. Oh almost forgot, I tasted my first soda at 15 and did not like the carbonation. Gave it a week and never had another one! Now lets talk about Yahoo chocolate bottled drink, yumm. 😀

[@clarencewiles963]

As a retired truck driver I would stop at some of the airfields and get meals. They were better than the truck stops. And I could overnight and eat in the morning before I departed. 😊

I stayed at the Hilton down town. Not much to do unless you go to the Grand Old Opry, and go to the country music hall of fame which is expensive, or go to a hockey game. Pepsi my self.

[@WebRuss]

Couple of points. Your O360 engine should use about 10GPH max in cruise. Try to get as close to that as you can. With you new electronic magneto you should even be able to get down below 9GPH. I prefer to fly into John Tune and stay at one of the hotels out there. Get a rental car or use Uber to commute in and out. There are only a few places I really like to go in Nashville. Can't miss out on the fantastic hot chicken and the music. Last time I went however I got hassled by a lot of pan handlers and homeless while walking around so I suggest you travel in a group for protection

[@larryhanna3458]

Good choice to divert to Camden my instructor didn't top off in lake Charles to Msy he landed next to a party barge he's OK but I had get another instructor he's selling cars now near Msy😢 fuel starvation is not good

[@David-vf9de]

After 2000 MSL start leaning your mixture gradually every 1000ft. This will save fuel, generate more power, and keep lead on plugs down to a minimum. Keep an eye on CHT and EGT as you lean not to exceed the limits of your plane. CHT should not exceed 400, but not sure on your planes EGT. I stopped drinking coke and pepsi about 10 years ago when my cardiologist told me they cause people to retain weight...well great, I've been drinking 4-6 a day for a few decades. Keep up the good flights. Talking through them is awesome.

[@erniem8862]

Nashville i would recommend grand ole opry mall. Also either go to the origal opry downtown in a old church or go to thee new one.

[@Biggin1989]

I live just north of Nashville. Its pretty cool seeing the city in your video. You should do a meet and greet when you come back. I'd love to talk to you in person about becoming a pilot.

[@RealLifeHeroes7]

I've only flown in a small plane like that once. it was so much fun! and it was actually out of Sugarland when I used to live in Houston and had a pilot roommate with his own plane. if you ever fly to western Michigan take me up?:) I'll buy the gas. flying the western shore of MI would be so beautiful along Lake Michigan. wow I love the view from the bottom of the plane! have you tried Vernors? it's a Michigan soda made with ginger. so yummy.

[@emerycobb7825]
