First Time Landing a Jet + My Favorite Airport Restaurant

[@lundbrad]

Great video Matt! It was fun flying with you! Let’s fly again soon as that seems like so long ago now!

[@joynermark]

Was that your Citation? So cool..

[@jermichaelphipps178]

Great video capturing the different worlds of flying. The jet is like the ultimate in performance and comfort but the Bonanza takes us back to a slower pace and a more casual and sensory experience. I’m impressed how your flying skills adapted to the jet, you stayed on top of it!

[@markhugo8270]

I was in TEARS watching this. Watching your first JET aircraft landing. You have experience up your whazoo right now. (The DC-3's, the multitude of private aircraft.) BUT this is something that comes ONCE in a life time. And you did it with the calm assurance of someone who really KNOWS HIS STUFF. Thanks for letting us in on this!

[@jondellar]

I'm a complete aviation novice but I do love your plane! It looks so... interesting inside! It must be a blast, flying all over like that.

[@jpkatz1435]

Would love a voice-over explaining what ALL is going, for the MANY non-aviators watching. Utherwise, very interesting.

[@williamfrench6856]

Matt, thankyou for link to your Camarillo Airport adventure. I did see it in the past however I am old and forgetful.

[@victorlovesmc]

The clapping😂😂

[@tropicthndr]

That was after the praying, thats why it was so quiet in back just before. HA

[@blewyd]

It's not because they're ignorant like other passengers. It was because it was his first time landing a jet and it was really smooth.

[@olivertreesbowlcut9769]

@@blewyd why is clapping ignorant tho?

[@mateusz1978k]

Clapping is standard on LOT polish airlines. Its. Way of thanking the pilots for safe flight

[@thisguynamednico9317]

Clapping after a flight is like clapping in the bakery after the Baker has baked a bread. But here it's something else because it's his first landing in a jet

[@jenniferwhitewolf3784]

I guess I have to admit to being an armchair aviation nut when I start to recognize some of the same ATC controllers voices from other peoples flying videos, in the same general area of operations.

[@sharko4093]

Haha, sounds like some controllers from AFP95s real flight vids.

All of that refined cane sugar and corn syrup will make you fat, will cause metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance, will provoke cardiac arterial lesions, will give you E.D., will feed your cancer, and will restrict brain blood flow. They always do.

Your videos are always a treat for the ears as well as the eyes. Wonderful capture of the ambient jet sounds in the cockpit.

[@snv648]

Nice lunch! Thanks for letting us join you.

[@theprocrastinatingpilot4615]

Hey Matt! Great video as always! I’ve been watching your videos for quite some time and I’ve enjoyed watching your channel grow! Your video on protecting GA airports was first rate! I’m getting back into flying and just setup my own channel to document the process. It’s amazing to see regular pilots like you, Niko, SteveO, Trent, JP, etc. have such a following! I hope I can help inspire someone someday too! Keep it up and thank you!!

[@SVSky]

Very nice, did my C-172 conversion at KHWD. Nice to see it from the jet perspective.

[@KutWrite]

Nice ride, thanks! Loved your "jet voice."

[@alexmccabe1948]

I’m so jealous, I’m about to get my commercial rating and I’d LOVE to fly a jet like this.

[@stevecastro22]

Another excellent video Matt and you nailed that landing in the Mustang. Keep them coming.....

[@johnstephenson2891]

Lived for a number of years in Camarillo and also love the airport cafe.

[@iz8epy]

I flew over Camario KCMA until a few days ago for my IFR traning and for my crosscountry I landed at Santa Barbara KSBA. Beautiful experience

[@postalgreetingcards]

Your certainly are a talented pilot and I enjoy watching your videos. If you don't mind some advice from an old geezer, all those sugary snacks and sodas may catch up with you some day.

[@WillBorgers]

oh man, ACI Jet has a spectacular snack bar! I LOVE flying in there - unlimited red bulls.

[@bbsnowman1026]

Harris Ranch best place to land and eat. Best landing aircraft is the Bonanza. California, the best state to fly in. Nice videos!

[@jasonrwilkinson9216]

Fab flights (nice looking lunch!) and an amazing stable approach and landing in the Citation Mustang Matt! Those jet guys have nothing on us GA pilots!

[@JaywalkingTheWorld]

I once had the chance to fly in a B24 Liberator. The only catch was it was a one way flight to Camarillo. No biggy. Took the flight. Landed, called a friend to come and find me ... and ate in that very restaurant whilst waiting. Good times.

[@PavlosP]

What are the advantages of the glass cockpit over having some analog dials as backup as well?

[@Steve-xf4uv]

Fries looked yummy! Girl at the table next to you not bad either. Great video; subscribed !

[@pistonpilot]

I was at my home airport on a Sunday and it was late in the afternoon. Brandywine KOQN had a 3000-foot runway and jets could land there. A jet landed, a Citation, and it parked on the ramp at the terminal building. No one was there except for myself and a friend. A man got out and asked me where the nearest restaurant was. I told him he should have flown 13 miles west to Chester County Carlson as there was a restaurant on the field. I asked him where he was flying to but he said he was just out flying for the day. He was from California. KOQN is near Philadelphia. I usually took an Archer, never thought to take a jet.

[@jameswikstrom4174]

Great job on your first jet landing! You seemed to pick up flying the Mustang fairly easily. I think it is all your hours in the Bonanza that made the transition a little easier. It also helps to have flown around the world in the Bonanza. I was not aware of that accomplishment so belated Congrats for such a tremendous achievement! Nicely done flying both aircraft!

[@alismith6353]

Just subscribed, really enjoying your style of videos. Very informative but not boring! Great camera angles and the view from the citation was breathtaking! Keep up the good work!

[@Hammerhand77]

Great vid... as always. That little green hangar at the end RW 22 @ Santa Paula has some cool history (as does the rest of the airport). Steve McQueen used to live there and just work on cars and planes all day. Fun, busy little airport and has the cheapest fuel around.

[@tylerchaffee1047]

Your should try Harris ranch

[@frn512]

Harris Ranch (3O8) - Now we’re talking! Yes the Waypoint Cafe at Camarillo (CMA) is a great “fly in” restaurant, with a great aviation community, and much to see; ditto with the aviation community and aircraft at Santa Paula (SZP). But for some serious eats, Harris Ranch can’t be beat. If you would like to enjoy an ”adult beverage” with your dinner, just be sure to plan ahead and reserve a room for the night at the Harris Inn to cover the old “eight hours bottle-to-throttle” rule, then you can even catch a great breakfast breakfast before departing the next day!

[@giuliogambardella2482]

Hey Matt just a curiosity.. I have noticed on many of your( awesome) videos that you lower the gear quite early during descent. Is that a standard procedure for the Bonanza or you were trying a steeper than usual approach? BTW well done on your first Jet landing.

[@MrJohnyysmith]

How do you tell if there is water in the fuel if you don't empty into something?

[@BelowMinimums]

ATC student here: Regarding the comment at 13:40 the distance depends on the aircraft type but for you unless you're following a jet aircraft it's gonna be 3000 ft (it's 6000 ft if you're following a jet aircraft

[@TheDirtflyer]

Smooth landing, like a pro.

[@N1120A]

I was on frequency with you as you were departing SNA. Came off the Coastal Route headed back home to San Diego (super easy) down from IZA and CMA, where I did my primary and where I actually grew up. I thought I heard you, not sure if I said hello or not.

Looks to be a PA-32 (Cherokee Six). The fixed gear variant and predecessor to the Lance/Saratoga.

Hey Matt, we were on the same Atlanta center frequency just a few hours ago when you were going to Huntsville! You had just checked on and I was being handed off to Memphis center. Cool that you've made it down south! You should stop by my home airport KMBT for a bit of lunch sometime.

[@jannepeltonen2036]

Awesome flying footage, once again! Last Saturday, I finally got to fly our club's Beechcraft (not as PIC, sadly - we have an hour limit I don't meet quite yet), and it somehow gives a whole different dimension to watching your videos. I mean, a 1964 Debonair B33 is a very different beast from a 1981 straight tailed Bonanza - but not *that* different :)

[@daffidavit]

Matt Is the restaurant as good if not better than the one at Katama in Martha's Vineyard? I made two trips there last summer because of your video and recommendation. I mentioned your name and they all knew you. Also, the lease agreement for the restaraunt requires that pilots be given some priority so long as they call in advance. I flew a Mooney M20C with 4 people into that grass strip on a summer day just for the experience. I figured if you could do it in a Bonanza, I could do it in a Mooney. The book said we had more than sufficient room for the takeoff. I made sure we did NOT top off the tanks, just to play it safe. After we broke ground, we stayed in ground effect for a while to accelerate before the climb out. It's a beautiful airport. The people who run the operation at Katama are great, and you were right the food was awesome. But how does it compare to the food in the above video? When Katama offers lobster and steak for breakfast along with awesome pancakes, you can't say the two restaurants are not comparable even though they are a nation apart. Thanks in advance.

Considering your honest debate on the bonanza vs 205/206/210 would you say that a family of 4 and 2 extra passenger could easily travel in your bonanza or what would you say an honest full tank max useful load would be in comparison?? Huge huge student pilot 👨‍✈️ fan.

[@DeltaTristar500]

Great job!! Im sure the sense of speed is something that you needed to adjust from the Bonanza to a jet when departing and landing.

Love watching your videos and seeing you fly everywhere around the world, but also even happier to see you go from my former home airport (SNA) to my current home airport (CMA)! Also fun hearing the plane share on the radio haha Anyone have any other recommendations for CA airport cafes? Super grateful to have easy access to Waypoint Cafe form my house, but also a bit disappointing that "it's the best" airport cafe aka I probably won't find something better within a DA40 tank's (and wallet's) range

[@colinferrell4954]

What a buzz that must have been!

[@DanFrederiksen]

Speaking of Harrison Ford, what's your stance on return to runway, Matt? I consider it a simple fact that with a decent climb angle you always have energy to glide back but surprisingly most pilots seem to believe that it's not possible and that ditching is preferable.

Signature or Atlantic was recently kicked out from John Wayne, I think. I don't remember which one. Either way, they were both super expensive and made it prohibitive to land there for most GA. And yeah, the CMA restaurant is really awesome. WARNING: when planning on an IFR depature from CMA, be careful how much lemonade or whatever you drink before taking off. I had to divert to VNY one time for an emergency pee, lol.
