Going to DC through CANADA? And a 1,000mph Cirrus?!?

[@richardcoates1385]

What a dream it must be to own your own plane and just fly everywhere, love it

[@DIYOneForAll]

I particularly find the radio conversations very satisfying.

[@davismaxx]

That’s my favorite part of flight. Talking on the radio. I like class G/ E uncontrolled airspace best. But a tower or APP/DEPT is not too much harder.

[@IrishDave]

The rental car pulling up, now that’s service!

[@milk-it]

We'd never get that in Australia.

[@deanc685]

The APP FBO at KHEF is amazing!

[@jon-xq2lc]

And it was orange..

[@jacobridle7151]

Irish Dave I work at another location of that FBO and we do the same thing

[@StefanDrury]

Beautiful flying, and looking slick in a suit at the beginning there mate! Another great video.

[@ejones7589]

Hello Niko. I’m watching this video for a second time. I aspire to be a future private pilot. I appreciate the blending and balance between ATC radio communication and Garmin screen shots in your videos. Keep up the valuable content and great work!

[@icalexander]

Excellent video as always. Got the chance recently to fly a Cirrus that's the same model as yours. I can see why you enjoy yours as much as you do. Crazy performance in such a small package, big jump from the Cessna 172 ,182, warrior and cherokee that I'm usually in lol

[@garydell2023]

Nice relaxing flight. Thank you Niko. Like that service bringing your rental car to you.

[@admwadenx]

Another great one, Niko, especially since you were in my neck of the woods for this one! I hope you know how motivating you are!

[@dabuya]

You are the crosswind master; smooth, steady transitions. Thank you for sharing.

[@rogerclarke3291]

Your videos over the last year, really inspired me to get my PPL. Last week Sunday i passed my skills test and also purchased a plane here in the UK with two friends. Thanks Niko for posting such cool videos, i learn so much from them.

[@OUTDOORS55]

One day ill be flying again. Gotta work on the career first😉 Thanks for letting us tag along 🙂👍

[@grantchristensen]

Great flight and video Niko.

[@andrewmartin8739]

Great video , keep them coming.

[@GeoSae]

OMG ! I remember Tyson's corner, although my favorite mall was Montgomery Mall and Pentagon City tho! Missing DC sometimes, especially the green and the seasons!.. Greetings from PHX!!

[@kevincollins8014]

Nice trip thanks for sharing!

[@bojaiden5175]

He made something so complicated look so easy. Very well done

[@fabsfabsfabs]

Cheers from Brasil, Nico! By the way, nice shout out to flight chops! Love yours and his videos!

[@Rugbyfan1973]

Great video Niko. Loving the panoramic pan from the wingtip cam. Looked like a great day for flying even if you got climbed to 11000ft into the bottom of that layer.

[@Oilerrocker]

I hooked on watching your videos, next stop flying school.

[@cmack864]

Good stuff as usual Niko, thanks for taking us along. Glad you were able to mix some fun in with the business travel. That always makes it more enjoyable.

[@SuperDuprTech]

I am in love with these video, great work buddy

[@v12kid]

Great flight, nice to see you in my hometown. Tysons is great and Manassas is a nice field

[@dhmalcolm]

Niko You do the best videos due to your narration throughout the flight including especially your communication with approach, departure and transit ATC It is like a refresher to me. Thanks Niko

[@Shaneepe1]

I love what you did at 9:40. “How do you spell Casanova?” You didn’t waste any time fiddling with your fms. You followed some sound pilot advice. “If you don’t know ask!”

[@bripilot34]

Great video! Nothing like clear skies, strong tailwinds, great views over top big airports & big cities, and "direct destination" shortly after take off.

[@vanallen9453]

...as always a thoroughly interesting and enjoyable video...thanks again Niko...

[@davidrobins4025]

Thanks for taking us along.

[@triera8117]

I love your videos they are so relaxing!

[@Juniorbmxtp]

Hi Niko´s I follow you from Brazil, great content congratulations!

[@js207802]

Great video as always Niko! By the way you have one of the most slick and beautiful looking birds I have seen.

[@jatdayak998]

Love the new wing view .

[@pesto12601]

Love your success... and glad you are living the dream... and we get to follow along and watch.

[@williammcguire5685]

Getting all the imformation must be difficult thing to master, + flying the plane. You sure make it look easy. Fun!

[@emjeebutterz4405]

5:26 Yes, my local airport, DTW!

[@kevincrocker8419]

I love the wing camera

[@billnicholson2470]

Very nice flight Niko. You make it look so smooth. Yup it's ORANGE!! Thanks for the ride.

[@xjaker91x]

I love your videos! A few months ago while filling up my airplane I saw a Cirrus just like yours getting fuel. I had a chance to look around and check it out up close. Beautiful airplane! I was speechless.

[@lucabaldoni8911]

You always make it look so easy :) cool videos

[@tompinnef6331]

That was service - rental car right to the plane. LOL 1000 MPH "boy you are a rocket". Thank you for the video. Take care and be safe.

[@aldm1967]

Still following along on your journeys, after a couple years. Continued safe travels, Niko!

[@johndemerse9172]

God bless you Niko and all of your family and friends from here in Canada! Stay healthy and safe.

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

What a beautiful plane. What 360 camera do you use? I thought about adding one to my flight vlogs. I really like the look.

[@NikosWings]

It’s a GoPro

[@avocadoblu]

Enjoyed the background music on this one. Nice day to fly!

[@ozziepilot2899]

Another great flight , thanks Niko have a great day.

[@daleb194]

Another great video! And that has got to be best looking aircraft on KZbin, love it.

[@vinnyzato]

Great flight Niko, and perfect smooth landing

[@alanstrauss7997]

Welcome to NOVA! I live right down the street from Tysons! Went up and flew my Cirrus along the Hudson River corridor for my 60th birthday yesterday. I saw your video on what it meant to you. Amazing experience. Still wanting to do the Chicago lakefront transition. Most likely this year! Thanks for filming and sharing your journeys!

[@vinnyzato]

happy 60th

[@NikosWings]

Happy birthday, I’m at 10 years behind you

[@milehighkit4725]

Nice flight. Your editing skills are awesome!

[@jameshyatte7230]

Love your videos, always very well done.

[@flyaround5953]

It’s nice to see you flying into my home airport of KHEF where at the moment I’m doing my flight training, hopefully next time you pass through I’ll be able to see your awesome aircraft

[@HeadShave28]

Niko I love your videos... Thanks for the ride. I’m glad to see you posting I was having withdrawals 😂💯👍🏼. Congrats on 60k followers .. well deserved!

[@stevenmyers3647]

Cool video. You flew right over my house in Pittsburgh. And I love your plane.

[@RodneyBrowning]

Oh wow! Cool to see you in relatively close airspace Niko! There's a life flight company that works out of Manassas that I deal with in the emergency field. Great airport over there! However, if you're okay with a slightly longer drive into DC, but looking for a great airport for genav, I suggest Martin State. Fantastic airport, well worth it!

[@Wayman_Simmang]

Nice flight Niko!! Thanks for the ride!

[@grayeddolls]

Hi, Niko. Many thanks for replying to me on an earlier post. I'm probably not yet seeing your wonderful vids in strict chronological order - still a few to catch up with and I want to see them all :o) You took the trouble to make 'em - so I take the trouble to watch 'em! These videos of yours are hugely informative and motivational. I tripped over you when initially looking for good RC options (total novice in all respects) but seeing what you do and how you do it just took my breath away! I'll probably still look into seriously serious RC models but your videos make at least 2 things clear: 1) being able to control the flight of an aircraft is only one significant element of a far bigger picture (SAFETY, weather, comms, geography, precision, mechanics, IT... etc) ..... and 2) If I want to fly an RC, I want to fly an RC SR22 turbo! ..... (does one exist?! ..... :o) ) .... In any case, thank you SO much for going to the trouble of making these vids. Your "target audience" is probably other pilots and/or people far more knowledgeable than me about aviation but, believe me, your effect upon the average earthbound 308 cc owner cannot be overstated ;o) ..... Seriously, like me, I'm sure that many, many non-aviators are absorbing your videos and appreciating them no end! The views are, of course, a bonus. Keep up the good work and all the best to you and yours :o)

[@NikosWings]

Thanks Graham! The videos do take a lot of effort and I try to constantly learn and improve them as well as my flying. I love RCs and there is SR22T by horizon www.horizonhobby.com/product/cirrus-sr22t-1.5m-bnf-basic/EFL5950.html The videos are geared primarily for non pilots but pilots find them interesting too. Again thanks for the great comments

[@cedricspencer5503]

I currently am flying and doing my training out of HEF. Very cool to see you fly there ! DC area is definitely interesting to learn to fly a plane

[@angelmolina4484]

One twooo twoo sierra zuuuuuuuuluuuuu lol. Cool video

[@alejandroarq99]

As always nice video!!

[@robertg5393]

always great, your videos. thanks for producing, Niko.

[@CROMP4]

Great video. Thanks

[@brandonmurray9448]

Great video! After a 10 year hiatus from flying I got my medical certificate today and have a BFR planned for this Friday. I've been growing my business and one of my goals has been to be able to justify flying myself for business. Well, I've finally arrived at the point where that is a reality. So after the BFR I'll do an ICC and join the ranks of you and many others I've watched and envied over the years. I imagine there are quite a few pilots that live through you guys on youtube, hoping for the opportunity to do what you are doing. I know I have. Thanks for the videos that keep the dream of flying alive. Keep up the great work! Fly safe!

[@NikosWings]

Congrats and good luck with the BFR and ICC.

[@jasonbergeron6347]

Nicely done brother!

Good luck 👍

Great flight. Subbed.

[@MichaelLloyd]

@7:27, looking on the west side of the river, south of a line drawn between the two nuclear power plant cooling towers, you'll see some white cylindrical tanks (the ones closest to the river). Just south of those there are what we call "bullet tanks" (long skinny white tanks). There are two by themselves then 4 groups between the pair that are by themselves and the river. I helped build that terminal. I did all of the control design and programming as well as startup. The two tanks by themselves are called Transmix tanks. The rest are for propane. We shipped propane from a large facility in Chicago to the terminal. The pipeline that it's shipped in moves Jet A and other products. So... they put a buffer fluid (diesel or something like it) in the line, then they inject the propane in the line, then they add a buffer fluid at the tail end. When the analyzer "sees" the buffer fluid the operator (or control system) switches the pipeline flow to the Transmix tanks, then when it sees the correct propane composition, the operator (or control system) switches flow to the propane tanks, and when the analyzer sees the second transmix cut or just to be safe, the barrel count for the amount of propane gets to a specific value, the operator switches back to the transmix tanks. Once the buffer clears the line is either shut down or returned other service. It's been a long time since I was there, about 15 years, maybe a little less, but it looks like they added propane tank capacity (more tanks). The company I work for now built a crude oil truck unloading facility near Wellsville OH a few years ago (also did the control design and programming for that). I looked but I don't think it was in frame.

[@NikosWings]

Wow fascinating. Now I know how they do that and it makes sense. Thx for sharing

[@MichaelLloyd]

@@NikosWings You're most welcome. I never would have thought I would see a place I helped to build on a KZbin video. It was a cool project but the most boring startup I've ever done. If you know the flow rate, pipeline diameter and start time it's pretty easy calc velocity and time (days in our case) of travel for the product to arrive. So we all crowded around the screen a little before it was supposed to arrive and when it was time, one mouse click, a cross check of valve positions and flow rate, and that was it... we were started :) Work near the river was fun. They really know how to get full use out of their rivers on the East Coast. PS- Congrats on being first to achieve 1,000 kts in a Cirrus! lol

[@minoc2]

Very cool., you flew over my house! I'm NW of Manassas on the last ridge.

loved it, as usual, Niko... those views never get old and nor does the interaction between you and ATC... i love it that you have taken so much time into editing all these to show us the best of it... i can't wait to Fly with Stefan as he makes his way over there and catches up with you all.
