P1D Flies Again- Indy to Naples Single Pilot Jet flight

[@larrymayberry2312]

You may not have posted in a while, but you are still the consummate professional in my book. Another greaser of a landing as well. Welcome back Greg !

[@emilioplentz]

He is a consummate artist!!! My favorite one. @@GarrishChristopherRobin777

[@justoutoftime511]

He has a flight instructor cert (not sure if it is current) and is also a commercial pilot. He could fly for a living if he wanted to and I would be more than happy to have him as my pilot. If you managed to fly F-16's then you can be called a pro. @@GarrishChristopherRobin777

[@jimm3379]

Having flown with hundreds of pilots, as an ex airline guy myself, I can tell you that Greg has more talent than most. You don’t fly F16’s for 10 years by sheer luck or accident. That discipline and exceptional situational awareness is still there. So semantics aside, he’s a professional airman by my measure. Living the dream! Good to see you posting again.

[@jmark7390]

I am 82 years old and just getting my pilots license. Thanks for the Inspiration.

[@Teresaborisovich]

Hi there, Teresa Borisovich here. I came across your incredible journey towards obtaining your pilot license. I'm quite inspired! Would you mind sharing your thoughts or perhaps offering some guidance as I embark on my own journey to get mine? I'm currently based in the United States.

[@maynardholmes8870]

Thank you so much that’s inspiring. I’m 57 years old a trucker and my love for aviation is still just as strong so there must be hope for me to enjoy some thing besides just work work work again thank you so much for the inspiration. Because as the days and the years go on, I feel like throwing in the towel. Shall we say since I have not accomplished all that I set out to but you give me something to look forward to guess I will stick around and try to pursue and achieve as much as I can 🙏🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

[@rodrigomarques4438]

Oh nice, congratulations captain 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@stevecastro22]

I guess we can call search & rescue and let them know that you are alive and well. Welcome back Greg, you have been missed!

[@mikeperry2814]

Greg, so nice to have you back and letting us fly along! I was smiling the whole way! Thanks for all the time you spend mounting and setting up the cameras - not to mention the great editing!! Yes, the time lapse is silky smooth at cruise. As always, thanks for your service to our country as a F16 badass pilot!! :)

[@PaulK-ls4fh]

Sunset grill in Marco Island is awesome 👍

[@aaronpederson6840]

Great seeing you back, Greg! Lots of us missed your vids. Be well!

[@Qrail]

Add me to the list. Welcome back, Sir. Thanks for taking me along.

[@jamesdixon2917]

You and stevio are the reasons I've gotten somewhat into aviation. Thank you both for sharing your videos.

[@lindawilkins6075]

Hey Gregg I don't know if you will see this as you don't post much anymore. I just wanted to say thank you for helping Josh. I saw Blue 7 was awarded his wings this week so thank you for being so supportive of the young mans dreams. Miss your posts.

[@bhollingsworth]

Well this was a treat! Glad to see you back posting again Greg! Best wishes for the rest of the year and hope to see you more in 2024!

[@wallyklw5]

P1D. Still watching you! I’m not a pilot, just an aviation fan with fear of flying. You changed my life yrs ago by demonstrating what goes on in the cockpit-constantly attuned and ensuring my safety. I told you once I had begun flying after 40 yrs of fear. Still flying now that I’m retiring. Thx to you I’ve been all over the western hemisphere now. Off again to Mexico and Italy this yr out of MSP. I can’t thank you enough for your excellent content. Anytime we hit turbulence, I imagine it’s you in the cockpit with all in hand! Thx for giving me my peace of mind and freedom to travel back! Best wishes to you.

[@Alvin-1138]

👏🏼👏🏼. Im working on getting back into flying myself. Very positive post.

[@Jacklangefeld]

P1D!! So happy to see you. Still my all time favorite aviation channel. N390GM is my Microsoft Flight Simulator tail #. I hope all is well, Greg.

[@flyboy3ck]

Makes me happy seeing 0GM and 2RF being used in the sim world from the radar side. Always a nice moment. P3D is where I used 0GM myself. Was kinda fun trying to be like Greg in the Premier.

[@JeepBigE]

Good to see a new video. Always enjoy the views.

[@gregbrehm1]

Nice to see you back in the saddle - I get all the prep work to film has got to be time consuming for sure. Us die hard fans of yours = appreciate it sir! Thanks for taking the effort and producing another terrific P1D vid!

[@paulbrentnall6396]

Glad to see P1D back, it's nice to be seeing the world in 3 dimensions again after I've had to fill the time he's been off-air with watching train videos 😴 His calm, concise delivery coupled with slick cockpit & aerial views are second to none. Fully understand that videoing every flight must be a complete PITA, so the occasional appearance on here will perhaps make our appreciation even greater. After all, sometimes less is more! 👍

[@kathyhorne7264]

Thanks for all you do for us, your fans.

[@nicksmith8166]

CitationMax is another good one

[@jameswalker6340]

Really enjoyed video. I hope to meet you one day as I live in Naples and fly a Mooney

[@ronaldfrazier1715]

It's about damn time...I was watching Reruns til you came back,,,lol

[@lindadoerr7919]

Yay! Great to fly with you again, Greg!!

[@moreeseable]

Hey There Brother Greg ! Everybody needs a break every now and again. You're Forgiven. It's GREAT to see you out here in the KZbin universe. You where sorely missed. I was super impressed with the troubleshooting and work they did on your aircraft to make it cruise better. The time-lapse looks soooo smooth, that I was amazed ! I know that you do not have to make these videos, and I believe it could be very difficult to do so. They say that Beggars should not be choosy and in that case if I could suggest that you would make a video at least once a season, you would make a lot of happy campers out here including me. THANK YOU for bringing some happiness to your follower's in this crazy world, And don't forget ... You're The Man, From The Man, LOL ! ! ! Peace Out and Happy Holidays to you and yours,

[@jascharl]

Yay, Greg is back! Great to ride right seat with you again.

[@nokoman85]

Welcome back, Greg. A&P Technician here and yep, low aileron control cable circuit tensions will definitely cause autopilot issues. I've rigged a few over the years for exactly that type of Pirep. Also, I'm glad you are able to get your inspections done. I hear that the AMT shortage has some shops backlogged. Blue skies to you!

[@bartomand3681]

Great to see you again Greg. Hope you and the family are doing well. Don't stay away so long next time. Take care and I hope you and your family have a Very Merry Christmas!

[@rodwebbvideos]

Great to see you again

[@vanallen9453]

...nothing compares..to being the captain..of your own ship..and really great to hear from you again ..Greg..

[@robsteele2087]

Congratulations on that fix to the autopilot! The improvement is very noticeable in the time lapse footage. Thanks for the ride along!

[@azcharlie2009]

I watch a lot of aviation videos as a pilot myself. There is not ONE channel I'd rather watch than yours. Thank you so much for letting us ride along. I can learn a lot from watching you. You are a true professional! I think you might have put on a pound or two, though..... (-:

[@justbob588]

What a treat! Great to see you back again - great video as always. Hope life is treating you well and hope to see more videos soon!

[@bluarcher5941]

good to see a new vid and welcome back. I'm not a pilot but my dad was. Your ability to multi-task, talk to ATC and maintain a running commentary of this quality in an aircraft of that type is just mind-blowing, regardless of your extensive flying experience. Much enjoyed and appreciated.

[@KenBlackRifleAmerica]

How wonderful to see you this morning! Thanks so much for sharing the flight! Wishing you and the family a wonderful Christmas and New Year 2024!

[@wmerr30469]

Thank you for what you do and thank you for your service from another Veteran GOD bless you.

[@Bob2001safari]

GREAT to see you back Greg, really missed your videos. Your Videos are the ones that got me into watching Airplane videos, even though I am not a Pilot, always enjoyed all the places you go and the narration while you are flying. Actually got me looking around for other pilot videos and now i enjoy Baron Pilot, and CitationMax videos as well....I am hooked and glad you returned!!!

[@jeffreygosselin7576]

We all miss the professionalism in your flying. BRAVO 👏

[@38mariner]

Great to see you back Greg! Greetings from Australia

[@rfriesen1644]

So great to see you again. Always one of the very best ride alongs anywhere on KZbin.

[@schwabit989]

Great video. I was fortunate to have lived in Naples for a decade and it was wonderful to see again. Enjoy!

[@BobFersch]

My favorite aviation channel as well. Great to see a new P1D video. Thank you for the update and I am happy to hear you are enjoying semi retirement. I am not surprised that flying without filming is more fun. I'll enjoy whatever content you post and wish you all the best. Enjoy, you've earned it!

[@beausbargarage6213]

This dude remains the man! What a life

[@kevinhope7409]

Good to see you again Greg, Certainly missed the totally skilled flying entertainment. All the best to you 😃

[@Bupkus68]

Your new home in Naples is stunning. Congrats on your well-earned success!

[@andresteeg]

Great to see you back, Greg. Hope to catch your co-pilots seat as well in ' 5:33 24. Many happy landings and best wishes! Horrido.

[@durka-durka-bakalakadaka]

Glad you're doing well! Thank you for spending the time and effort to bring us along for a ride. Hope to see more soon. Blue skies!

[@FlyGuy457]

Great to have you back with us. Thanks so much for the update, glad to know you are in good health. Let us ride along anytime. Have a great Holiday Season.

[@kevinsmith6273]

Nice to see you back, Greg. Every time I watch your videos, I get the bug to honor my late father who flew for the ANG and do some ground school. Thanks for the inspiration and thanks for doing these despite the work involved and the frustration I'm sure when having to arrange cameras and charge batteries and all that fun stuff, not to mention the editing! Good God, man...the editing!

[@guykeeth5760]

AWESOME! Missed you Greg. Made my day. ✈️

[@paulphibbs5362]

So excited to see another video from you Greg. Great to hear you and family doing well. Fabulous you were able to keep the Premier1 - I know it’s your baby and takes you to that “happy place”. Understand the enjoyment you must feel, not having to provide commentary, or have your flights scrutinized by viewers. Please continue to video the occasional flight (as you see fit) as I love to join you in that “right seat” and have a catch up. All the best mate.

[@andrevallee8225]

Great to see you again Greg, as always, good informative content (FMS work) and high quality video, take care

[@dpm-jt8rj]

I am sorry to hear TYQ is no longer your "Home," but I very glad to see you again on YT! If you ever need someone to drive your car back and forth between EGE to APF, let me know! 👍

[@etiennebotes]

Hi Greg! Welcome back. Making these videos is a real labour of love, and it is, and has always been much appreciated. You are an inspiration well beyond just aviation. Good to see and hear you again. Take care.

[@sillieww]

I must admit I got worried but relieved all is well, welcome back. Thanks for the ride, see you at the next one.

[@Kyle-wf4id]

Great to see you here again, Greg! Your great work is really inspiring! Are more videos in the pipeline?

[@aaronrazz9676]

P1D 5x5! Glad to see you again! The beautiful Beech back up! Thank you for sharing Greg. Keep the videos coming.

[@alexkoble9303]

Another great video! Always love the naples ones. Glad to see how well you are doing. First class service with the car being pulled up and ready at jet center! Enjoy it down there.

[@salokin1]

Great to be able to accompany you once again. We are fortunate whenever we get the chance, but you are not obligated to grant us the pleasure whenever it becomes a chore.

[@warrenwatters1800]

So great to see you back Greg! I was born in Naples and raised in Bonita, residing just up the coast in Placida now. I have always enjoyed your videos...this one being special with the coast scenery. My dad was a longtime pilot and my brother is one..I regret not becoming one...so now I live vicariously through your videos which are very enjoyable and appreciated. Hope to meet you some day and at least shake your hand. I salute you for your military service and wish you many happy takeoffs and especially landings in your semi retirement. As you say...see ya!

[@kevincollins8014]

It's so good to see you posta video! I'm glad you are doing well. No need in my opinion needing to apologize for taking a break from KZbin. I don't think most people realize the time and effort that goes into even a 15 minute video. As always thank you Greg and I'll just continue to enjoy whatever you choose to share with me 👍😁 P.S. Blessings to you and your family

[@mitchlong3601]

❤Thank you Thank you and Thank you!!! Sure have missed your videos Sir!

[@davidgriffeth4522]

Another reason I'm glad you are back with a video. I wanted to be a pilot and get to flying the corporate jets. Medical issues took care of that dream but through your videos I get a taste of what it would have been like

[@3pbhenry]

Welcome back! Nice looking EMB-505 next to your Premier in the hanger.

[@paulh1745]

Greg, thank you so much for this video. I’m extremely happy that you’re back on KZbin. People miss you and your videos. I am pushing 78 years old, and have never been a pilot. With that said, I enjoy videos like yours very much, and sometimes wish I had taken a different path in life. Again, thank you for your kindness, and posting these wonderful videos.

[@samueljoejr5191]

Really miss this guy. The information was abundant and the access was a high honor.

[@dougmuseAV8]

Welcome back Premier 1 Driver!

[@jamesrea329]

All ways happy to see a new P1D video. 🎉 I definitely appreciate the great job you do editing your videos, I know that’s a lot of work, and it shows up in the final product. Will look forward to the next one whenever you’re up for it, 💯

[@bruceerwin2541]

Adding one more welcome back, Greg. Almost 58K viewers in only one day must be some kind of record. Best Wishes for a Happy Holiday.

[@AirplanesLuxury]

Happy holidays, Greg! Glad to see you flying safe and well! You are an inspiration for me to finish my PPL and work to eventually become a corporate pilot!

[@herbh9348]

Always a pleasure to fly along with you, great to see you back on KZbin. Safe skies my friend.

[@wcarlhepker4806]

As I drive ny Indy Exec on Rt 32, I always say, "How ya doin' Greg?" I know you are not there any more, but I just consider it thet you own the place. I have missed you on KZbin, therefore I enjoy giving you this greeting as I drive by. I am glad you gave us this video, Please continue to do so as opportunities present themselves!! I am sure I speak for many of us as I say that!!

[@_kingque_]

Glad to see ya back! I kept checking the channel over and over haha

[@sach7581]

Good to see you back. You fueled my ambition in coming back after 40 years off. Just got my IFR rating at 69 years old. My old airplane has been more valuable than I ever imagined. Thanks for playing a part in it.

Holy shhhhh!t !!! Greg is back!!!! Dude, we have missed you! Need to get you some seat time in the 930 racecar 💪🏻👍🏼 Please post more videos!! You and Mike Patey are my favorite aviation content out there!! Welcome back

[@davestarr7112]

Very nice indeed to see you back Greg. I appreciated the look into the cabin pressurization system. Something you could touch on if you wanted to in future videos is single pilot operations up there in the higher flight levels. At FL410 if a windshield blows out you only have, what, 15 or20 seconds of useful consciousness? Thanks for all you share with us.

[@carlmclelland7624]

WELCOME BACK, Greg! I've missed you! Don't wait another year before your next video. A lot of us stay current, vicariously thru you..........

[@howardkietzer9493]

Welcome back Greg. Always a pleasure to be in the right seat.

[@spm8907]

Welcome Back! Was stoked to see this in my KZbin algorithm today.

[@tripflycfi]

Glad you are back. Watching your videos helped me get through the 390S type. Been flying them for a couple years now. I still watched this whole flight and enjoyed it. Your plane is beautiful and has a few upgrades that make me a bit jealous

[@musictheoryexcel7578]

We love your videos. My Grandson, Charlie and I have been waiting. Thank you sir and thank you for your service in protecting America

[@hpdmp3486]

Awesome you are back!! My KZbin void has been filled in. Thank you for allowing us in your right seat.

[@janlehmann5789]

Good to see you and your P1D back on your channel. And, again a perfect landing in gusting conditions.

[@ranmar773]

So glad to see you are doing well and enjoying your semi- retirement. No matter how often you post videos you will always be my favorite YT content creator. I hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday season in Naples. As Max would say, you greased that landing!

[@mattc9096]

Glad to see you back on YT Greg! Thank you for allowing us to ride along mate. Best wishes from Aus!

[@EnabledShooter]

I'm glad to hear everything is going well. I've always enjoyed watching your videos. I certainly appreciate the time and effort you put into capturing and editing the footage. I can understand why it was a relief not to do all of that.

[@henrivanbemmel]

I'm glad you are enjoying your comparatively free time. Glad to hear all is well. Selfishly, your cockpit videos are some of the best and so an armchair pilot like myself can't get enough of them and your stories. Thank you so much for all that you have done for popularizing aviation.

[@wallyklw5]

I’ve told you before a few years ago, and I’m going to say it again. I am not a pilot but a commercial consumer who has had an extreme fear of flying. It was your videos that I watched for hours on end. it helped me get over my fear of flying several years ago -due to your demonstrated confidence and competence in the cockpit. Thx to you I’m off to my 3rd Europe trip, this time Rome. Also I’ve been able to travel Mexico the last several years. Thx for changing my life for the better!

[@C5MFEAC]

Good to see you in action, much appreciated.

[@papalilburn]

Awesome, our favorite P1D is back in the air, thanks for letting us ride along!

[@TristanLinehan]

Always a pleasure to watch. Be well sir

[@davecurry5339]

Very nice to see You back doing a flying video! Was wondering if I would ever see another super smooth landing again from You.... jk .... This was a fun trip down to Naples for sure. Thanks Greg! Happy Flying, and safe landings going forward! 😊✈
