LOVE at First Sight - Picking Her Up!

Time to make the flight down to Florida and pick up our plane from the paint shop!! Here she is ya'll. First leg of the return flight from Zephyrhills, Florida to Murfreesboro, Tennessee to get gas. Maggie, the controller in Tampa, was gracious to put me up for the night and we get a shout out from our friendly Jacksonville Approach Air Traffic Controller. :)

Wow!! The new paint is amazing. Feels good to be back "on board", you made my day. 1BC is so cool. Part 2, please.

[@310Pilot]

Thank you Neil...part 2 is out! :)

[@Chris-hq7nl]

Paint looks amazing. I also can’t get over how good your panel looks with all the upgrades. She must be a joy to fly.

[@310Pilot]

Thanks Chris! I really love how it has all come together. What a difference from the plane I bought a few years back. :)

[@robertwhite537]

Beautiful Kevin! I'm so proud for you guys!! Thanks so much for sharing your flying and your life with us!

[@larrymayberry2312]

WOW..She looks amazing. I cannot imagine how happy you are to have her back. Safe flying and look forward to seeing Jamie's reaction when you get home. Take care !

[@ronamedee2475]

She's come a long way in the year I've been following ya'll. Beautiful aircraft sir !

Very much so Ron...love how she's turned out. :)

Great to see her back. Missed your flights. Congrats. She’s beautiful.

[@310Pilot]

Thanks Dave...glad to be back!! :)

[@J_David_Worthington_III]

Beautiful 'bird! Out of all the twins that I have been window shopping, I love that plane the best. With its aerodynamic sculping , wingtip tanks, and window configuration it is simply beautiful! Clear skies and happy landings!

[@johnwyoder]

Oh man, how I have missed your flying! So good to see 1BC in all her radiant beauty. Looking forward to seeing many flights this year. Go Dawgs!

[@Achten787]

Amazing! Reminds of the Silver #3 that Dale Sr drove at the “Winston” all star race. Hope one day to see it in person.

[@310Pilot]

Glad you like it! It is a bit like the Intimidators old car.:)

[@nicholaslucia7836]

One Bravo Charlie is BACK and looking sweet! Congrats Kevin!

[@310Pilot]

Thanks Nicholas...we are super happy to start putting her to use. Now we just need things to open just a bit more. :)

[@broker5002]

WoW!!! She is beautiful. They did an excellent job. Can’t wait to see the final leg and Jamie’s reaction. The bumps and landing weren’t easy. Well done.

[@olbuck]

Thanks for remnding us of the monumental job a proper new paint job is. The plane is gorgeous, but I still think the best improvement you made is the Stec Autopilot!

[@alansemple2015]

She's absolutely gorgeous kid!! Can't wait to see Jamie's expression !!

[@310Pilot]

Thanks Alan....She was pretty darn happy. :) Should be up on Friday if I can get some edit time.

[@MartyBecker]

Beautiful looking bird. Takes the awesome 310 to the next level.

[@outofarizona9769]

That's a beautiful paint job , she is looking good. You have done a lot on that aircraft that's awesome. Glad everything checked out alright on the annual inspection.

[@reddog3544]

Happy for you guys. Plane looks great. Colors are perfect. Have definitely missed flying with you here on you tube. Was really proud of you getting the tail wheel endorsement. Be safe.

[@bradbarber1856]

That’s awesome man. Proud of y’all

[@patrickpepper4587]

She looks stunning, Kevin! Between all the avionic upgrades and TLC you and Jamie give her, 1BC is undoubtedly is finest 310 out there. Anxious to see Jamie’s reaction when she sees her for the first time since the new paint job.

[@310Pilot]

Thanks Patrick! We've been working hard to make her one of the nicest so she'll take care of us for many years to come hopefully. Jaime really was happy when she first saw her. :)

[@javiergalvan242]

Wow Kevin, it was worth the wait, she looks beautiful and completely different!!!!! Congrats and keep the video's rolling and be safe out there and God bless you!!!!!

[@james419]

Paint job brilliant and your enthusiasm is fantastic - Years ago I flew and Old 310 G-APNJ which was the first to be imported to the UK I remember her with great affection

[@310Pilot]

Thank you James...we love how it turned out! Very cool that you were able to fly the first 310 imported to the UK. One of these days I hope to get brave and fly her over there. :)

[@v1rotait23]

Love the red and black paint with the silver metallic. She's just gorgeous. So pleased to be flying along with you in 1BC again Kevin. Your panel is also superb. When you're about to line up, I advance my audio throttle through to full power on my iMac, ready for the symphony of sixes to come as you blast down the runway. You're ambient recording of the engines is vital! Looking forward to Part 2, of your "first love" seeing your "second love"! :)

[@sailormike1089]

WOW! Fabu licious Kevin. Like a brand new plane, and in my high school colors... Gotta love Black and Red. Can't wait to see more videos of the new paint. Stay Safe....

[@thomaspittock4018]

I almost can see my house when you flew over Crystal River how cool.

[@310Pilot]

Very cool Thomas...pretty area!

[@paulwood2151]

I love how every controller in Florida knows about the paint job lol. Awesome color and great videos!

[@310Pilot]

Ha ha...our Florida ATCer's always give us love....it's great! The first controller at TPA approach was Jaime's friend Maggie who we took down to Key West in that part of our Gulf Coast Swing video series. Thanks for the support Paul!!

[@paulwood2151]

310 Pilot Very cool. Next time you come to middle TN you and Jaime should stop into Portland. People are great and fuel is cheap! Also not as busy as Murfreesboro lol. Not a lot of students training there. Love the videos, keep it up!!

[@bobwoodward1089]

Yeah, two controllers only a row?!?!? 🙂Must be a small ATC world!

[@mstaff657]

Makes it a "NEW" Plane LOVE 'EM . loving twin Cessnas makes for a grea life. fyi. Not just Floridians, that is how we are - "AMERICANS" . I notice we have to keep reminding Liberals - 'er and Commi's attempting to remind.

[@happysawfish]

@@paulwood2151 : I flew into 1M5 from northwest GA in fall of 2018. Loved it! Great family restaurant on the north side of town too. Cool FBO with high ceilings. Recommend. Met a cool guy with a super nice Comanche 260C, the rare model, and he has some other birds too.

[@pokerstar2004]

Wow, fantastic new color scheme! Love it! Looking forward to more 310 Pilot adventures this summer.

Hey Kevin, glad to see you back in the air. The silver sets off the red and black perfectly. Awesome look! stay safe and healthy.

[@johnensalaco5012]

Wow, she looks great, and that tail is fighter jet gorgeous! Love those colors, I wonder if I’ll be able to pick you out flying over the house easier now?

[@310Pilot]

Thanks John....we love how she turned out! Look for the black bottoms with silver tips from the ground. :)

[@mayorstoner3459]

WOW! That is one sexy airplane!! Can't wait to see Jamie's reaction.

[@310Pilot]

Just posted it Steve....she was excited. :)

[@NT4XT]

Great audio. How the sound of twin engines is nicely present. Just the right amplitude, not too loud yet definitely present. And air traffic transmissions are clear as well as pilot to viewer chatter. Engine and prop sound is sweeeet. This vid does your plane justice. Go 'Dawgs

[@larryfields357]

Sure look good! Glad to see you are back and happy! I hope Hawk appreciates how much great publicity they are getting! They did an impressive job for you!

WOW, is that friggin NIIIICE!!!! 👍👍🍻🍻🎊 🎉 I couldn't have picked a better color scheme than that! Congratulations, Kevin!! Been amazing to see the transformation over the past couple years. I almost didn't recognize the cockpit at the beginning of this one! So many changes! 😎

[@joeaho2577]

Glad to see that you got her back. Have really missed your videos every week. That's a beautiful paint job.

[@paulhendershott667]

Gorgeous! Some odd audio hiss at the end of every transmission and internal non-transmission audio clips. Maybe just your audio record settings and not radio-related? Hope so! 😀

[@310Pilot]

Thanks Paul! Sorry about the audio issues. I should have mentioned that. I think I have a loose audio wire causing intermittent interference. I'm going to try to get that fixed ASAP as it's driving me bonkers. I did the best I could during the edit. :)

[@Johnnyputt]

Can you imagine if you'd have shown up at an airport with that mask on three months ago? Amazing how times always change. 1BC looking very nice.

[@310Pilot]

Ha ha...they would have had the swat team on me immediately! Looking forward to things getting back towards normal. Glad you think she turned out okay Johnny!

[@sz22ff01]

Sweet looking color scheme. Slowly but surely she's looking like a brand new plane. Enjoy, and may you and your family have fun with it.

What year was his plane built? They were made from 1954 - 1980.

[@gregster1950]

Still beautiful aircraft!

I live in Tampa and Hawk painted my bird years ago and did a fantastic job.

FINALLY! And while I realize I could have rewatched an old video or 2, it’s nice to hear those “trademark” One Bravo Charlie guitar licks. Awesome looking paint on her, I’d forgotten you went with a Bulldawgs-inspired color scheme. Someday you’ll move home again, in the meantime, you can take the boy outta GA, but you can’t take the GA outta the boy. Thanks for posting.

[@phil_nicholls]

Nice. I did my twin rating on a 310 another BC, G-MEBC, sadly lost a few years later taking the life of the CFI and a commercial renewal candidate. Still, I’ve always had a soft spot for the 310 - and it was an old aircraft when I flew it nearly 30 years ago! Lovely to see such a great example still in the air.
