My Longest Flight Yet! | 187 mile Solo XC

[@Freditovfss]

Super relaxing. Loved the angles, loved the editing, loved the music. The banter and tne live narration was super interesting also. Que vengan más por favor. Lo disfruté mucho. Éxito!

[@billschlafer]

You and Sarah should do a video where you fly out to a car show or event. Job well done on your cross-country. You handled it well.

[@1944chevytruck]

GOOD FLIGHT!

[@wushock92]

Nice work, Angel. Radio traffic was clear and understandable. Good job working with other pilots on CTAF. Thanks for taking us along for the ride.

[@m1keY_YOUTUBE]

Such an amazing flight, really smooth flying .... thanks for bringing us along ! 🤩😘 Lovely views and so relaxing

[@jimcabezola3051]

You are so well-disciplined! I would be trying to PHOTOGRAPH other planes and stuff that I thought was cool...and fly myself into aerial traffic or into the ground! It's heartening to see you use the non-electric, fully-analogue flight computer. That kneeboard was SUCH a thoughtful gift from your viewer! I liked EVERYTHING about this flight. Used to live and work on Luke AFB 30+ years ago, and I enjoyed all your views of dear, old Arizona. Aloha and clear skies to you!

[@rookie__pilot]

Thanks you Jim!! It was an awesome flight glad you enjoyed!!

[@smavtmb2196]

Congratulations Angel 👍 Have you seen Iron Eagle from 1986 as your Cessna 150 aka Tiffany makes me think of a flight/race scene with Cessna 150 in the movie. Fun movie, but don't be doing any crazy flying like that.😅 Take care from Vancouver BC 🇨🇦

[@brucebrownlow]

Congratulations on a flight well done. I did my solo x-country on 30 Oct 1965 in a C-150. Your flight brought back memories of my early days in aviation. I went on to fly helicopters for the US Army NG after training in 1969/70 (Fort Wolters Tx and Fort Rucker, Al). I had a wonderful 30 year career as a military pilot. Good luck in your future endeavors, You never know where this will lead. Flying is worse than crack cocaine :)

[@rookie__pilot]

I love that it brought back memories! And your absolutely right about aviation being worse than CC 😂

[@jasondunn8313]

‘Flying Low’ in the zipper department but a great flight Angel😂 I watch you for the car content and seeing you fly for the first time was awesome.

[@Andrew-jh5uv]

Angel 10/10 mate awesome👏👏👏👏 Angel butter cake 👍

[@KevCampbell]

Nice smooth control inputs, good situational awareness (from what we could see), and good comms - made for a very watchable video. Congratulations!

[@rookie__pilot]

Thanks Kev!!

[@whatsnewonthemountain]

I did a cross country a couple years ago in my experimental Glastar from KJAQ to KOSH with about 4 stops along the way. Total distance was about 1500 nm and took about 12 hours over two days. All the same techniques as you demonstrated so you could, easily do the same. Keep up the good work.

[@garyworokevich2524]

The comment of your zipper was hilarious.

[@rookie__pilot]

[@luvwrks]

it had been a long time……thanks Angel for the ride…..Fords were my thing but flying 210 in the old days!

[@charliebrown1828]

Rookie Rocking in the Free Air!!! IK getting up there certainly isn’t free though 😂

Eating rice n beans the rest of my life bc its definitely not free… 😂

Nice job Angel your looking like a pro :)

Thank you!

[@lodragan]

This brought back memories for me when I was doing cross country round robin flights back in the day. My original idea was to be a commercial pilot, but I decided to switch to computer science after I put 145 hours in my logbook. My wife was not amused, but it was for the best financially in the long run. When I found out how long it would take to get the ATP - and surviving on instructor pilot pay in the meantime for a family of 4 would not 'fly'. 😂 I'm glad I did it anyway - one thing checked off my bucket list.

[@chrisbailey5055]

Glad the kneeboard is working out...I was gonna send you my old Navy kneeboard, but these new ones are so much nicer....did you get to use the piddle-pack...that was a big bottle of water.

[@rookie__pilot]

Piddle pack? I havent! But the kneeboard helped a TON

[@tonyh4514]

Great job, Angel. At least you weren’t the guy spanked by RYN tower for not following instructions on takeoff. If the worst thing you did was to forget to zip your pants then I’d call it a great day. We’ll have to fly together again soon.

[@rookie__pilot]

Thanks Tony! Means a lot coming from a 777 pilot!! We definitely have to review 99GT!

[@mjcavender1230]

Very cool

[@melchiormike]

I have to admit, that brought back a memory or two.... 🐧

[@waltermartin6176]

Great video.

i love the Glue Factory episodes, but this was fun!

Great job Angel, it is a pretty little 150.

Thanks Randy!

[@barackmycat9448]

Good job. I could never learn all the lingo.

[@rookie__pilot]

It takes some practice, i still butcher my radio calls from time to time 😂

[@billyhouse1943]

Good job…

[@douglaskaye1395]

Turn your squelch down. Good flying😊

[@Broody58]

I met a guy once, told me his job was flying for either ups, or fed ex. He'd go to work, like a truck driver..take the jet, drop off the load..come back! Good pay. Low key, you'd never guess he was a proffesional pilot. There's good work doing that. Money for fun stuff! Better then breaking your back doing what you once considered fun. Guess there's a type of "cdl licence" you need for the sky?

[@ABrit-bt6ce]

Oshkosh airshow when? Bring Sarah.

[@scottlane5164]

Yup

[@bobuncle8704]

Gonna have to start calling you butter???😎

[@douglaskaye1395]

Much better grounding to the exhaust. FYI. Spend the money for ADSB huge situational awareness SAFETY!!!!

Do you plan on flying Boeings or private planes?🙌💫

So when do you start the ➰?

[@asarand]

When are you going to get Sarah up there? Being ex-Air Force I would think she would be chomping at the bit to take a ride. So now you're the Not-So-Rookie Pilot?

[@tridium-go6hw]

Angel is still completing his private rating - no passengers (except the instructor) until he passes his checkride!

[@asarand]

@@tridium-go6hw it's been many many years since I even looked at this stuff. My fragmented memory seems to recall soloing being the completion of your private rating. I guess that's how fragmented my memory is.
