Jaime's LAST Fly-In Ever ~ Contest Announcement??

Jaime's displeasure of flying into the major airshows (Sun 'n Fun and AirVenture Oshkosh) has grown over the years. Unfortunately this one may have pushed her over the edge. We avoid holding IFR on the way down to Lakeland by inching closer and then canceling to go VFR down low in the bumps for the final leg. The Lake Parker Air Traffic Controllers threw us a curveball with the Winter Haven bit and the main tower at Lakeland lost their communications temporarily. Finally, a slower Cessna that was told to go to the skinny runway slid over and landed in front of us causing me to try to point right a little in the flare in case he slowed rapidly.

OMG! These fly-in's are crazy. Flew in to an airshow as a passenger on a 172 and will never forget the ATC telling us to follow the Sherman instead of Stearman. My friend piolting was like, "There's a tank in the pattern?" Great job Kevin and Jamie!

[@ericsprague4273]

I totally get it. Jamie doesn't need to do any more fly-ins if she doesn't want to. Got to respect that Kevin. On that note nice job Kevin handling the stressful approach!

[@Allwin360]

This radio traffic stressed me out and I wasn’t even on the plane. 😳

[@observer1242]

Frankly I’m surprised the FAA permits it.

[@MrPorsche85]

Thats what I cant understand. With all that ATC chatter, how des a pilot keep track of any info for his particlure plane?

[@Jimidan1000]

50 years ago my Dad and I did this at Oshkosh in his Champ...and his plane was without radios! How the Hell did that happen?

[@bigredlancer]

You said it! I was a Patrol Plane radio operator, and at sea, NEVER had traffic like that! Good goin' you guys. Eyes out the cockpit. JJ

[@mdrinvest08]

Stressed me too ya'll 😁

[@johncline7518]

Love to see the teamwork between you two. No negativity, no backbiting, and no meanness between each other. That’s the way a good marriage should be. It’s a team effort. Great job. 👍

Poor Jamie. I felt for her on that one. It really is a testament to the training these pilots go through when they can stay as calm as they do. Great job Kevin!

[@CrazyTechy]

That was very scary. Wow.

[@sclm55]

Good ol' SkyKing. I loved that show when I was a kid (way back in the late 55's early 66's). My dad had an Aircoupe (I believe the Alon A-2, with the sliding-bubble canopy...like a flying Batmobile). That was fun! He had it staked out at the old (original) 'Tamiami Airport' in Miami/Dade County, FL. South side of the Tamiami Trail-8 Street (but has been FIU for many years now). I hope Jamie doesn't cave in to her fears, but overcomes them. Kevin is a very competent pilot; it appeared to me that the ACC's were on top of it all. If nothing else, couldn't Kevin have just flown out of all that mess for a few or so minutes; then come back when/if things were less hectic? Now about that whole radio going silent...that is a bit spooky. The must be some protocol for when that occurs.

[@e13c7r0nic]

Damn, dude. My hands are sweaty after watching that. When the tower went dark I was, "What the f#!$?!:".

[@denisestanley1546]

WOW...that was amazing and terrifying! Great job to you both. Kevin, your calmness in such a tense situation is truly commendable.

[@daveydixon1363]

This was a great watch! Currently learning IFR in MSFS2020 and this popped up in my KZbin feed and so glad it did. You are a great team under stress.

[@barryvesh4865]

I could feel the anxiety! I had a pit in my stomach and sweaty palms just watchin' !! Good job you two. Flew in to Oshkosh years ago, brought back the terror.

Excellent airmanship and situational awareness. Looking forward to future videos.

[@sleepless51]

Wow! That was really stressful to watch and listen. I can totally understand the stress Jaime felt. Both of you handled it very well! Kevin, great example of how a pilot should hold it calm in this kind of situations.

you guys are the bomb. i started watching you guys because of jaimes raido skills didnt know she was a controller.would not miss the chance to watch and listen to you guys. God speed.

[@Donaica1]

I’m with Jamie that was some crazy traffic but great flying by you, but still love flying with you guys ❤️

[@Intruder730]

I guess one thing is controlling the traffic and another being shit deep in it. It also gives you a whole different perspective.

[@lydiaanderson4247]

of course hun how are you doing

[@BattleHawkHeavy]

The radio traffic was crazy! I'm impressed with how calm and composed both of you were. Excellent video!

[@albertbrewer9891]

I can not imagine going through that mess. You guys did great. Awesome channel!

[@sgd5k292]

Back in the early 80's, my wife and I were flying into a west coast fly-in in a V-tail in mixed traffic and it was pretty stressful. I was glad to have her along as she was a pretty good navigator and spotter. It is an amazing feeling of calm one feels sitting in a lawn chair on the ground after a difficult and stressful approach and landing especially when we were landing in tandem with another plane. Felt the very intense emotions that Jaime was experiencing and will show this video to my wife as I am sure she will relate to her. Thanks for sharing this video!

[@randydaugherty1014]

Love the videos im a big fan been watching over a lil 2 yrs know keep up the good work and be safe

[@ca1mello]

Wild!! Exciting!! Very very entertaining!! I was there with you guys , flying the 310, looking out for traffic. Pretty cool video. Congrats!!

[@btrent9244]

I didn’t know I could hold my breath that long...what an adventure!!! You two make an awesome team. Great cliff hanger on the previous video. Nice to be flying with you. GOOD JOB...both of you. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@gervers]

You guys handled that landing so calmly and brilliantly! My heart was pumping and I’m just watching on KZbin! Maybe Jaime’s idea of no more flying to fly-ins is a sensible idea!

[@mindorokano]

Jaime's stressing was another processing load factor for the pilot. She did good spotting and answer backs.

[@ervmoore1111]

Wow! Truly outstanding team work to keep it together. Tks for sharing!

[@jonmiddelaer1195]

New addition from YVR, love your video’s, had a Cessna 310 model in my younger years, always a favourite of mine, love the new paint job. You two are awesome in the cockpit! Jamie’s got the aviation lingo down pat! Thanks for sharing your passion!

[@bradzeigler]

We'd hope so. She's an air traffic controller too.

[@roberttrue8333]

OMG!!! Kevin, glad to see you are still with us. I was sure Jaime had put you 6ft under after that approach experience.

I don't blame you Jaime. What a chaotic piece of flying and ATC is talking so fast.

[@MrClevet3]

Actually the concept works well and could provide the FAA with ideas how to safely increase traffic into airports where air traffic controllers provide a more invasive service. VFR: see and be seen can work especially with more airplanes equipped with TCAS and ADS-B out. The event has an admirable safety record and moves traffic with minimal delays.
