My First Landing in Bar Harbor Maine - Pilot VLOG 136

[@gregmink]

Really enjoyed this. Nice flight...nice video. Enjoyed the local scenes. Thanks!

[@W1RMD]

Glad to have you visit my home state! Cheers!

[@nivekyerac]

Sean, Wishing you and your family a safe passage through this hurricane.

[@chriholt]

I think it's usually pronounced "Bah Hahbah", but I could be wrong :) Oh and, "Give way to the Harrier" - probably good advice in general.

[@kevtheis]

Agreed on both fronts! What were Harriers doing in Raleigh? Do they do training there or something?

[@BoB4jjjjs]

lol, I usually say Bah Humbug. Oh, it's not Christmas yet! :-i

[@YeahImAnthony]

Just the tourists say it that way.

[@leejohnson7293]

As a Mainah, you ah correct Sir! LOL

[@leejohnson7293]

@@kevtheis The National Guard is based at RDU, and it is fairly common to see fighter jets in and out of there.

[@jamesplyler9892]

I was a ranger at Acadia for a summer season a few years back, if you like day hiking its one of the best places on the east coast! All those mountains on the left on your final brought a smile to my face, I have been to the top of all of them on Mt. Desert island, stunning park and you definitely need a couple days minimum to experience it!

[@joeycarr1398]

3:28 That's 1 of 4 ea. AV-8B on that airport that day wich belong to VMA-223 "Bulldogs" statationed at Cherry Point, NC. Radio codesign "Stone". Nice flight Shaun!

[@chemenway40]

I live in Maine and have been a instructor since 1989 and yesterday was the first time I had ever flown into Bar Harbor. My son needed to build some flight time so up we went. It is a really beautiful area.

[@CorporatePilotLife]

it sure is!

[@leejohnson7293]

Since I am from Maine I was especially interested in this particular video, but what I did not expect was to see that you were in Raleigh, where I have lived for the last 25 years. That was unexpected , and really cool. I love all your videos and have been watching for several years now. Keep it up! I appreciate it.

[@keithalexander844]

It’s really cool to see someone fly into my state especially from someone who has always seen aviation as something I would like to pursue once I’m out of high school

[@granvillegraves6522]

Glad I watched this video. The Squadron that the Harrier is with is a squadron I was in back in the 1970's when we had the A-4 Super M's. It brought back a lot memories. Left Yuma, Az., went to Iwakuni, Jp., left there to Cherry Point, NC. Two major Trans Pac's in a year.

[@robsteele2087]

Foreshortened forefinger @1:32! Acadia is a great family trip--there's great climbing that's strenuous and rewarding but not technical. The tricky bits have rebar ladder rungs embedded in the granite. Great bike rides too.

[@lrodpeterson3046]

"Runway perspective". Ha, ha. First time I've heard that used in all the aviation videos I watch, but I experienced it years ago in my early training (1966). My home airport at the time was OPF, and the runway we used most was 9R/27L, which was 8,000' long and, as I recall, about 150" wide. It looked like landing and taking off on the Turnpike. OPF was far too busy to use for touch and goes (busiest airport in the world at that time--you can look it up). So, we'd head up to HWO (North Perry, and about ½ mile from my house). Perry was also a former AAF field (as were most in Florida) and it had a wagon wheel runway arrangement, unlike the parallel runways at OPF. There was a circular taxiway around the perimeter, connecting all four runways (9/27, 18/36, 15/33, 4/22), all about 3,500' long and 300+' wide. After all that 8000x150 asphalt, when I first glimpsed HWO's arrangement I thought, "how in the hell will I be able to land on that postage stamp?" And this was in a Cessna 150. You could land three times in a 150 on that much pavement. So, all in all, that runway width advisory is a very useful item, particularly in an airplane that might easily use 2/3s of the tarmac.

[@stephenbritton9297]

In your shot of the harbor down town, the white hull 3 masted schooner at the pier behind you appears to be the VICTORY CHIMES. Identifiable by the three mast of equal height, which is unusual. Two interesting things about that ship - its on the Maine state quarter of the US state quarter series and it was once owned by Domino's Pizza who renamed her DOMINO EFFECT, she had several fluke accidents and they sold it, the new owners returned the name to VICTORY CHIMES and the accidents stopped...

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Very interesting...thank you!

[@mikeprenis2187]

Sweet video! That Brian is an absolute gas. It would be great if you flew with him more often. Speaking of old stuff, when I was in the Navy, I met a guy and his girlfriend in a bar in Naples,Italy and he took me to his house outside of the city. FIVE HUNDRED YEARS old. Crazy....

[@reloksat]

Born and raised till I was almost 10 and never told about Acadia National Park. Finally visited it in 2016. Incredible park thanks to some very wealthy folks who decided to share the islands beauty with us poor folk. Cadillac Mountain is not to be missed along with the popovers at a eatery in the park on a pond...

[@stephene6155]

Jordan Pond House, lobster bisque and fresh popovers every time i'm on the island.

[@John_Be]

Dang it! You were finally in MY neighborhood. You were in the Brier Creek Shopping Center. Had I known I would have at least slid over to give you a fist bump or something. I saw the view over your shoulder and I was like, "That looks like..." I am disappointed in myself. The last time I was standing on that ramp was because the Hurricane Hunters came to do their presentation in Raleigh.

[@pingeyez71]

The national park for sunset is cool to watch and the blueberry beers are good with the lobstah roll

[@SmittySmithsonite]

Ahhh, ya went ta Baaah Haaabaaaah! 👍😁 That used to be an annual ritual with my mom, dad, and younger brother. We'd make the 6 hour drive up there from central MA in the '84 Ramcharger towing the Prowler camper, and stay at Bar Harbor Scenic Campground. Low-bush blueberries everywhere. You have to do Acadia - swim in the 54° water (did it as a kid, but you'd have to pay me 6 figures to do it now, LOL - makes every part of your body HURT!!), and see the sunrise hit the very first part of the USA every morning there on the mountain (it's a mountain to us Northeasterners). Watch out for Puffins on the flight out! 😁 Great shots of that weird double cloud layer there - that was great! Thanks Shaun! I'll be looking for part II since I'm so far behind on videos this month. 👍

[@gtwlaw81]

Love the videos. Hope Dorian passes without causing major problems in Florida!

[@billnicholson2470]

Nice video. I have a ham radio and pilot old Army buddy that lives in Belfast,Me. It's beautiful up there just too cold in the winter. Thanks for the ride.

Hey nice hat Shaun, I have one just like it! I havent seen others wearing them around my area but I'm looking as I know you must have other viewers in my area (pdx). Brian cracks me up! He is teaching us a out you Shaun! Hey I sure hope the storm coming passes you and you families by! Crossing my fingers for ya! Beautiful area of Maine!! That cemetary is pretty young for the East coast, that's what I love about back East, when we visit my inlaw's in Frederick Md we walked into a cemetary and it had some headstones from the 1700's and I want to say lager 1600's, whether the 1600s was birth or death year I dont recall but compared to the West coast, they make our cemetarys in Oregon look like juveniles. Going into bars on the bay in Baltimore established in 1700s just blew me away!

[@stevenwhitney3230]

Great video. Left traffic pattern for Bah Hahbah. Many nice hiking trails in Acadia National Park.

[@MD88Pilot]

Bar Harbor is a beautiful airport. Fun flight too.

[@waldoinaz]

Shaun, I was a little disappointed when you didn't cut off the Harrier, leap from your Hawker and commandeer the Harrier. Would have made for some good entertainment to see you shoot some touch-n-gos. Oh well, consider it next time.

[@CorporatePilotLife]

LOL...maybe next time

[@keithnixon1947]

Bar harbor IS a wonderful little town. Went there a few years ago and went on a fantastic whale watching boat.

[@niceguy2171]

Cool trip, and those islands always make you wish you could switch to a GA bush plane and drop in on them..at least it did to me. Never been to Bar Harbor, although I've heard it's beautiful, and have been to Maine a few times. Got to get a Lobster roll, and a lobster or fish dinner while you're there though. Continued hopes you get missed by most of the storm coming by the homestead down there.

[@FranksFlights]

Thank you for another good video! That may have not been an energy drink the right seater was drinking, but I have been told by a physiologist that if a Naval Aviator is caught drinking an energy drink, they are grounded for 72 hours. Miliary did studies with aviators and unusual attitudes and energy drinks. Those that drank energy drinks recovered slower. Keep up the great videos!

[@williegillie5712]

Nice flight Shaun. Did ya make it to Bah Habah? The Hawker acted like it wanted to keep flying but you stuck that landing and it looked nice. Looking forward to seeing more. Right now it looks like the brunt of the storm is gonna miss ya. We’ll see what happens when it starts moving again. Honker down and keep them videos coming.

[@Excitable67]

That fighter jet was really cool to see! Pretty area you ended up in!

[@petejones4808]

Excitable67 pretty sure harriers aren’t actually fighter jets but they are certainly cool. I was able to touch one a few years ago when the USS Essex visited our country. I was in the right place at the right time and got aboard for a tour. They were Marines Harriers but much the same vegetable. I was blown away by how small they are in real life.

[@grandpa1687]

How do you like that yoke Shaun? Looks like something from Batman’s plane. It just doesn’t look comfortable to handle.

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Believe it or not, it's actually very comfortable to use. I'll always be partial to the Gulfstream, but this thing flies really nice.

[@billysentilles5940]

I've heard lots of pilots say the Hawker yokes are the best and most comfortable. I know Netjets used to operate them with the leather grips on them, really nice.

I would love to give the Harrier a go...sounds like a blast! The hurricane looks to be staying offshore, so I think we'll be ok. I hope all is good for you too!

Great video. I've been watching since the beginning. When you were with the other company. I have a question? If you have time to answer. I'm in flight school right now. I want to get into fairy flying. But some people keep telling me not to get in the pilot filled at all. They say that I'll be taking advantage of no matter what. I was wanting to know if you had any advice?

[@CorporatePilotLife]

There are people out there who will try to take advantage of less experienced pilots, but I am certainly glad I got into the field. Always do your research before jumping into anything, but ferry flying is a great way to go!

[@atmidnight8740]

Question from a non pilot. I know pilots are very well trained, but when you regularly fly two different airframes what's the chances a pilot in a urgent emergency situation could apply the wrong action. Like take emergency action for the Gulfstream but your in the Hawker?

[@CorporatePilotLife]

That's a good question. Fortunately, most situations will require the same response from the pilot in emergency situations. But furthermore, we always consult the checklist

[@IABoomerTube]
