$2000 Hamburger Run In Our New Cessna Citation 501SP! (Terrible .91 MPG)

[@JRAviation]

Since Wolfe is a CFI, I finally logged my first hour toward my PPL!! Hope you all enjoyed this one. The citation drinks gas at low altitudes… lesson learned… we’ll stick with the Bonanzas for these lunch runs 😂

[@charliewilliams3978]

Yep they are made to opperate up in higher altitudes for economic longer rane flights .

If you really wanted to save money you’d have walked to McDonalds. Have plane, will travel.

Free lesson towards your pilot’s license: before flying any plane, do some reading up in the POH!

[@MrBIG-nq9yl]

A little bit of words for the wise when you have a pro around and he asked you if you have any questions feel free to ask anything because it's rare to have them available Sometimes it's easy to feel weird about asking a question but like in the military they say no question is a bad question and that should always hold true

[@Flies2FLL]

Flying is addictive......I happen to know something of the subject.

[@Potrvlb]

I cannot explain how happy it makes me feel to see you two young men just seriously taking the world by the horns! You young guys are amazing, all of you, your entire crew. I’m 51 and really really enjoy your content 🤩🙌

[@doncristobalaspee5925]

I'm 53 and I'm kind of envious of them but in a way their lives are so far removed from mine that it doesn't feel like I'm on the same planet. Maybe "next time round" I'll be someone like this.

[@sgtstedanko7186]

I wouldn't inflate these guys ego anymore than it already is. These videos are nothing more than a lowkey wallet flex. There is way more to life than money and possessions. Plus reality is never as it appears, especially on the internet.

[@Yourmission9]

This guy is my favorite pilot. I see him flying the millennium falcon like a bad ass

[@plainviewfarms6364]

That dude is a good pilot

[@steveddavis]

An additional thing to remember about short trips is they mess up engine hour/landing cycle ratio. You don't want it lower than 1:1. Fortunately, longer trips help balance out the short trips. (Former CJ1 owner) How long ago did you make the flight? I looked on AirNav and Jet A today at FFZ is $5.84. Great video!

[@JRAviation]

This is very true. That’s why I think we’re going to take the Bonanza from now on 😂

[@ishankramer]

Why is that ratio important ? Is it maintenance related or simply cost effectiveness ? Genuinely curious!

[@steveddavis]

@@ishankramer Ultimately it has a lot to do with life cycle costs, especially if you are selling the aircraft. Landing gear has scheduled maintenance and replacement life. Generally buyers don't want to see way more landing cycles than engine cycles. Lots of short flights on retractable landing gear equals more frequent maintenance and sooner replacement.

[@oreo10111]

This is a 501, it's already worth pennies... or maybe nickels as scrap parts.

[@DanielC__]

@@oreo10111A 501 with +/- 6000 hours is a low time airplane. You’re probably paying 600-1M depending on equipment so they’re economical to buy, not so economical to fly. It’s a trade off

[@Potrvlb]

Man the pilot looks so young!! What a freaking STUD, MAN!! That dude is legit! Smart smart young dude. Guys these vids are so cool! 🤩🙌

I would like to see it all...inside and outside thru the windows. If, I never get the chance to fly in one of those private jets, at least this is cool to see!

Glad you enjoyed it

[@jackoneil3933]

Happy for you guys and that you can share such experiences, and thank you for inspiring others to discover aviation, even if it's now a very rich man's thing. This is a bit bitter sweet as with moderately hard work, back in the 80's I was able to buy my first airplane at 18' (A 66' Cessna 337 with 1800TT and 300hrs on both engines for $11,000! and afford college fly 300miles home occasionally with a business and working summers. Later on about $4,500 a month I was able to afford a P-Baron, and occasionally hire a frend and his Lear 25D for business trips. Today, $4,500 a month is poverty level, and I can hardly afford to drive. Fly safe, and think and plan for the future guys. Cheers!

[@unwoundbound1957]

"$4,500 a month is poverty level" yeah, okay.

[@jackoneil3933]

@@unwoundbound1957 You have an different opinion? In Portland Oregon, expect to pay about $2k/month for a basic place, Food maybe $400. Health Insurance $500+/month, Electric, $300/mo, Internet, $120. Car Insurance, $100/mo That's $3,000 off the top. Take about 25% off for state, and federal taxes, and that leaves you $3,375 take home, or for the average person, about $75 left over for everything else.

[@scottrussell2281]

I've always loved aviation and had my private pilot's license in the 80's, but didn't have the income to continue flying.

Great video. Loved flying the 501 and greasing it onto the Sedonna runway. OK, maybe that was a little bit of an exageration. Landing at Sedonna with a strong crosswind can be very challenging. Going in there one summer the aircraft ahead of us was having trouble geting it on the runway and attempted a go-around. They didn't make it and Crashed on the west slope of the mesa. We diverted to Flag Staff.

Love Sedona, I lived and worked out of that little airport for several years of my young life back in the 70s. The beautiful place where you had your 1500 dollar hamburger was our FBO office back then. Another funny note that has changed since the good ol days as they say LOL we always took off on 21 and landed on 03 because of the downhill slope. Those were great days, so many famous aviators flew threw Sedona. It seemed like we always had Cessna, Beechcraft, and even Lear Jet out there filming all of there advertising material.
