Nice scenery! Looks like an amazing place to fly around.

[@mattguthmiller]

Thanks buddy, yeah it was some of the most fun I’ve had in a while

[@mattguthmiller]

Who's going to Oshkosh? Come say hi at the ForeFlight booth Tuesday at 12pm -- and RSVP for a chance to win one of my new Bonanza Bro tshirts: goo.gl/7n466y Also doing a social media panel Thursday at 4pm, but that'll be a little more hectic: goo.gl/HGJ9rM And I just launched some cool new merch: teespring.com/stores/mattguthmiller

[@jameswikstrom4174]

Absolutely awesome video Matt! I have never seen anything this exciting in my life. I would give anything to be there sharing the experience with you guys. Matt, your pilot skills never cease to amaze me. When I think I have seen everything, you show me something new! The formation flying with the Mustang and the photo op. were sensational. The bed n' breakfast is the icing on the cake!

[@martiansonmaui1749]

Great video! Sedona is one of my favorite places, and the airport is spectacular. West Sedona used to be called “Grasshopper Valley” when John Wayne discovered it, and decided to start shooting his films there. Hot air ballooning out of the NW canyons is epic!

[@IMeanComeOn]

I went to Bedrock City about 35 years ago and there was no one there then either.

[@hobie1613]

That scenery is amazing! The view is a part of why I’m working on my license.

[@The_PaleHorseman]

I love flying into Sedona, beautiful country out there! Love that little airport as well, one of my favorites.

[@gordonfeliciano4315]

My family and I stopped to visit that air museum near the Grand Canyon in 2002 during a family vacation. My son was about 5 years old and he sat in that very cockpit demo with the snake logo you guys were playing around with. Brought back a lot of memories... Fast forward to present day and now both he and I own a 77 Grumman Tiger that we fly together here in Colorado and he is an instrument rated pilot, soon to get his commercial. Thanks for the memories!

[@georgemccoy5028]

Absolutely spectacular! The formation flying and the scenery are amazing! Thank you for your efforts to promote aviation.

[@terrylanford6151]

I swear your videos always inspire me to fly more and fly with mates. You're a gun Matt!

[@jackswanson6718]

I'm always excited when I get a notification for a new video of yours

[@johnnukecop]

So I’m catching up having recently discovered your channel, so forgive the late comment. I am absolutely certain that the images from this flight will be precious to you 50 years from now. To borrow your term, the memories that those images will trigger will indeed be “epic.” Perhaps Owen said it best, you have to use your eyes to really see it, film just can’t do it. Thanks for sharing the experience.

[@Channelizer1970]

Just recently found a love for aviation at 47 years old. Helped set up and run air shows a our local airport. Getting to talk to the pilots and check there aircraft out. You Vids are great. Have filed for my student pilot license and getting ready to flight train with a local cfi. Keep up the great videos and safe flying!

[@ctrcflyin2011]

Love your videos. This one brought back memories of when I used to fly formation with some of my old flying buddies. I have not flown since selling my plane back in 2007. Now I just live through videos like this. Thank you for giving me something SO much better than TV.

[@ilovewindex487]

I’ve never seen something more Beautiful

[@aranuable]

A Guy That zzzäääääääzäiih

[@hidesertskylane8161]

Imagine how awesome these views would be if you were in the Cessna and no wings in the way;). Another great video, thanks.

[@EinkOLED]

Matt having another daily dig at JP and how awful the cessna 210 is. 4:33

[@damianhernanadez3083]

Your most underrated video, perfect cinematography

[@mdaven428]

When you are in the Southwest again......check out 1G4, Grand Canyon West...overnight at the ranch....alot of fun...favorite part of Grand Canyon. then, head west and try a stay in Death Vally....Feb-March or Late Oct-Nov. Will blow your mind. but you will have to rent a very expensive jeep to get around( only option). Scenery is so worth it......and so much to see.

[@austinlewis743]

The Caravan at 13:54, N865MA, is now in Hawaii shuttling people from PHNL to PHMK. I work with that plane daily! Cool to see it pop up on your channel. Keep up the awesome vids!

[@ketobygeorge7763]

Spectacular flying and views. I saw your post on Instagram and somehow missed this flight/post. Gorgeous views. I saw the Grand Canyon from the ground and this is even better. Someday I hope to be able to fly.

[@trcpath]

Bedrock has been that exact same way since I was about 5 yrs old ... and that's a good 4 decades ago. Seems like it really is rock and will never go away.

[@davidnickerson6311]

That intro was killer! Hope we can fly again soon!

[@mattguthmiller]

Absolutely!

[@LinkinLoris]

GA is so much more fun than airline, I wish there was a way to make an equal amount of money flying GA, otherwise it’s quite an expensive hobby to have. Anyhow- awesome video as always Matt, thank you for sharing and greetings from Latvia.

[@kymbiddell7467]

Another great video, great flying, great scenery, love the bonanza brings back memories when I used to fly them. Grounded now due to heart issue, so love tagging along on your flights

[@f.n.schlub2269]

At that density altitude and airspeed that jet had to be chugging it down !

[@peanuts2105]

Love the desert and your film style

[@diamontracingteam7763]

The output of this flight was awesome. I love the cinematic editing. Thx. Best regards from Switzerland

[@laurindrumrecords7019]

I am so stoked to make my pilot license one day. And always when watching your videos I am even more hyped for the first time sitting on the pilot's seat. :D Thank you so much for your incredible work!!!

[@sheilasembly-crum8447]

Beautiful...simply beautiful. Love your flying and videos!

[@jacksonnorber41]

15:19 is the cargo door removed for better pictures? I would've thought that opening a door that large has to effect aerodynamics.

[@FlyersDistrict]

I just did my first formation flight the other day and it was so hard to keep that distance. Nice vid

[@shoop4040]

C'on man that was sick.... Daring.. Adventurous .. Great Job to you all..

[@Richardhenryhoffman]

You guys sure know how to have fun.... Loved it! Greetings from South Africa!

[@---nw9qu]

Amazing. One of your best videos.

[@wyleypilot15]

Great video Matt. Formation sequence and imagery is really incredible. Sidenote, I'm an AZ native and have never heard of Bedrock City and now I am pretty sure I know why.

[@lkorn9150]

I got yelled at by airport ops in SEZ when I was doing some low photo flying over the Sedona valley due to a noise sensitive area that I wasn’t aware of (lots of hippies live there who want the airport taken down). Didn’t care though, a beautiful place like Sedona needs to be enjoyed from the sky. Great video Matt. You are by far the best aviation vlogger on KZbin as far as content and production quality goes. Keep it up!

[@jasonrwilkinson9216]

Awesome scenery and flying Matt!

[@matthewsteyn7019]

Glad I started watching you a year or so back. Got me to get off my fat arse and actually start learning to get my ppl.

[@110knotscfii]

The Flintstones lol. You captured it perfectly. I’ve run into lots of places like that in my travels across the United States. Most are empty.

[@gsoffice6402]

Thanks so much for filming, editing and sharing this with us!

[@sunnyrawal656]

Great vid man, you're improving vid by vid!

[@Lewis_Bree]

Awesome video as always but this one was super good, not to mention the incredible editing that went into this with all those camera's

[@carlymontasana4767]

Another GREAT video, Matt! Always SO interesting! Thanks!

[@hockeyref8789]

Matt I am an old man so I usually do not use your terms but this video is “EPIC”!! Great job young man and your work is appreciated!!

[@Jim_Austin]

Great video, really enjoyed it. Thanks!

[@bobninemire6859]

Another Great Film Matt...Thanks !!

[@greghayes6777]

Sedona is truly one of the most beautiful places I have ever been. New drinking game idea: everyone has to take a shot every time Matt says the word “epic.”

[@paul91103]

Thanks for sharing another super video. Wondering why the switch from Lightspeed headset to Bose. Seems that the LS Tango headset was a good fit for your missions. Keep ‘em coming!

[@9HighFlyer9]

Even closer to my little corner of the world. SEZ is one of my favorite approaches. It's also where I almost crashed day after my checkride

[@gabedavis401]

HAHAHAHA 8 years ago when I was traveling with my parents, our pop up camper trailer broke down in Bedrock. Had pretty much the same experience.

[@jchambers2045]

The most beautiful place I have ever been.

[@BowzerTowboats]

Fantastic!

[@Klaatu-ij9uz]

Wow!....you guys were really "tripping-the-life-fantastic!" During the intro. of the video I thought you were bucking to be in competition with a Tom Cruise movie of your own. I have family in Arizona and you can't beat the Sedona and Grand Canyon areas for epic views. Truly God's country. However, Michigan has its own epic views, too.

[@scoty40]

Excellent flying Matt

[@Talisman-tb6vw]

I've been to Bedrock City twice, on the way to the Grand Canyon.

[@tyler_russell]

Ridiculous. Amazing editing and shots. Very professionally done.

[@davidhosken1766]

Love your work Mathew, when you come to Australia let me know, do you have anything posted on your world trip ?

[@jaimeskiebel]

I believe the word is "EPIC". :) Seriously though, Thanks for sharing this video. Brings back good memories!

[@lanceg.8458]

Ahhhh Lake Powell, the 8th wonder of the world!

[@trentbaugher60]

Excellent video! Subscribed.

[@1dgram]

I was there last summer. Awesome area of the world.

[@TheFroztv]

OMG these are some cool shots !

[@michaelstern1945]

It was an epic video. If you ever in Boise go to the Warhawk Air museum and visit the Kitfox factory and the Nampa airport has a nice coffee shop over looking the runway.

[@darrellbelk426]

Arizona is awesome. Wish you could do the White Mountains maybe sometime in the future.

[@dondoswell3113]

what a wonderful video and what is the name of the airport that had the Flintstones and your clothes. The formation flying with the Grand Canyon was the best . Sedona is wonderful been there 3 times and just love the people and the food. thanks

[@stevevandyke5914]

Stop by KAZO for the Air Zoo. You can park right on the ramp and walk right into one of the museum buildings. It's an amazing aviation & space museum with a restoration shop on site too. They're restoring a F4F that crashed in Lake Michigan during World War II currently.

[@Flyer210]

Awesome, awesome! All I can say, go Bonanza!

[@LazlowRave]

Haha love the 210 joke "haha shut up"

[@cdesha]

Just out of curiosity, why do you drop the gear so far out? I’ve always done it on about a midfield downwind.

[@fadogoeth]

Bedrock City needs a horror movie shot there. :D Great video.

[@nitehawk86]

17:06 Sick AF, well done.

[@desertdronepilot]

WOW WOW WOW!!!!!!

[@nagaviper1169]

Excellent, excellent video. Thank you

[@vance_wb]

Awesome content, keep it coming!!

[@110knotscfii]

Freekin EPIC air to air!

[@smoothtimb]

Cool video! That's not really in the middle of nowhere, it's right along the only road to the south rim of the Grand Canyon National Park.

[@gavinward5448]

smoothtimb ........... which is in the middle of nowhere!

[@Benzelf]

Yabbadabbadoooooo !

[@vicctorcasquet5802]

A hug from the Brazilian fans. ''

[@IEFlyingRamper]

Heading to SoCal, may I suggest Big Bear (L35); Riverside Flabob (RIR), Home to the Flying Circus because of the early aviation replicas built and flown there; Chino (CNO) Home to the Planes of Fame Museum and Yanks Air Museum ...and Catalina Island/Avalon (AVX)

[@aerojef]

Hope you got a chance to try the $100 burger at Mesa Grill while you were there. Sedona is local for me, and I've flown in to SEZ several times. I used to be a firefighter/paramedic with the Sedona Fire District, years ago. Great film! I'm glad to have hiked the same trails you've shown... It is really beautiful there.

[@airmackeeee6792]

Jeff Swiggers wow. I flew up to the Mesa Grill at SEZ from RYN for a $100 hamburger in late 2007. Memories!

[@colonelcactus2462]

You should come to Mesa Arizona and visit the CAF at Falcon Field

[@gorgly123]

Been there. It's nice.

[@9HighFlyer9]

Better to visit in the winter. Then the planes are probably not out on tour.

[@humanbraininrobotbod]

Also, in the summer the temperature here is 1,000,000 degrees during the day. At night it's only 750,000 though.

[@colonelcactus2462]

HighFlyer actually the planes fly more during the spring and summer than in the winter. The B-17, B-25, and C-47 are all going to Oshkosh next week. I’m going to see them there

[@colonelcactus2462]

Matt McNeil it is hot here in the summer. It regularly gets to 115 here

[@connorgibson3654]

I landed for the first time at Sedona and landed on my first cross country at page

[@pilot-plane-coffee1678]

I noticed you leaned while you were rolling there Matt; I know in one of Rod Machado's videos he stated that for a constant speed prop you do not lean the engine like you would if you were flying a Fixed Ptich, (do not use the EGT as a reference). Instead, you use the Manifold Pressure as a reference to validate max takeoff power. Is this correct, and if so, could you please explain best practice for leaning when departing High elevation airports please. Thanks!

[@dj33036]

They used to have Douglas MacArthur's Super Constellation there. They also used to have a nice little car museum, are they not there anymore? This is on the main highway to the South entrance to the Grand Canyon National Park, so not exactly in the middle of nowhere.

[@fed8925]

dj33036 .dj63010 she's at KCNO getting restored.

[@tonyhaines1192]

I had to watch twice!

[@terriwolcott6620]

Looks like you’re a good pilot Matt. Think about getting you CFI and make your videos a little more educational. Just a suggestion. As a pilot with several thousand hours flying tours around Sedona and GCN, locals get upset with aircraft flying low overhead, so we’d fly higher and outside the populated areas. Lots of folks would love to close that airport (Sedona) and build condos, so let’s not give them any reasons to do so. No wind: I think Sedona lands 3 and takes off 21-avoiding overflights of the city.

[@sunnyrawal656]

I wanna be able to do something like this in the future...

[@Jwend392]

Now e need you to get you in a formation flight with a P-51 Mustang!

[@jeffkeisling3558]

Matt - been following your stuff - planning a trip to mountain west 3-4 weeks in NA cirrus. Would appreciate you fav loop - eg sedona, moab, Jackson, Yellowstone, glacier, couer d’alene. !? Your recommendations please?

[@10lauset]

Totally awesome vid. Beautiful landscape. What brand of clothes were you wearing? Links would be nice.

[@basedc6]

@Matt Guthmiller did you add footstep sounds in post at the Flintstones place?

[@cholubaz]

Awesome flight as always guys and glad you enjoyed my playground where I fly. SEZ is one of my favorites and usually fly there from DVT several times a year. Are you coming to OSH? If so any plans for a meetup? I would love to get you on our podcast for a quick interview. In The Pattern Podcast if you want to check it out. Cheers, Chris

[@planesense7390]

Great video as usual, love the flintstones thing, that is so cool..maybe cut down on the word "epic" a bit..:)

[@lipteaser12]

More videos like this pls

Good ole Valle airport... RIP John Seibold.

[@MauritsVeen]
