You know Max, in a big plane the a/c is always running...so Brian says. Noticed the paper right away. LOL You can't beat the Randolphs. Eye protection is required up in the altitudes you fly. Loved the break through the clouds.Great story at 13:30. You should be very proud of your accomplishments. No mistaking the Tetons! Fantastic views. Enjoyed this video!

[@CitationMax]

In Brian’s words we trust! Thanks for your kind words. Glad you enjoyed the video.

[@TheGbelcher]

Greg, when can we expect a new video?

[@gregmink]

Greg Belcher tomorrow.

[@skrutinizr9372]

My 13 year old son is determined to either own a citation himself or be a commercial pilot, your videos really keep the fire lit for him- and it means a lot to me. He'll be the third generation aviator, my own dream ended after an accident I was lucky to survive- but no more medical or employment for me. This video was a great mood equalizer after we lost Mac McCauley yesterday in that B17 incident. If you're ever out our way at LEB/VSF/RUT, lunch is on me.

[@CitationMax]

Thanks for your message! Really happy these videos help give more motivation to your son. Tragic loss losing mac never met him but only heard wonderful things. Will definitely let you know. Follow me on Instagram so we can keep in touch. Thx

[@ldoyle3rd]

I've seen a lot of videos flying into Jackson Hole, but on this flight the weather was perfect and the views were incredible! Sounds like you've had an incredible journey aviation wise, but really any of us who are lucky enough to fly regardless of aircraft are truly blessed.

[@sarahmetzgar]

Flew into Jackson Hole some years back, but from the opposite direction. It was still cold weather and we came in between peaks of the Tetons. I’ve always been afraid of flying but looking out that window at the peaks covered in snow took my breath away. Indescribably beautiful! A gorgeous little city with the nicest people I’ve ever met. Thanks for another view coming in!

[@CitationMax]

My pleasure Sarah! I’ve never came in from the other direction. That would be cool! Thanks for watching! 😀

[@encompassvideo5429]

The single best aviation channel available on youtube. Clear, concise descriptions of what is involved in the flying process. Excellent video editing that de-mystifies what flying is really like. For the vast majority of us who will never sit in the cockpit of a jet plane (in flight or otherwise) this is a priceless window into one of man's great achievements.

[@marvinbrooks2601]

Great Max love the story. I am 51, Retired from the Army and starting my ground school through MzeroA to get my private pilots License. My life dream. Greg and you have been an Inspiration Thank You both

[@rslskd]

You're right about Greg giving great advice ... this year's flight to Oshkosh in a GA aircraft w/o aircondtioning under a borrowed David Clark ear cushion headset was a miserable, sweaty experience ... on Greg's advice, I got an airshow special on a Clarity Aloft headset and flew back from KOSH in great comfort and could communicate better as a bonus ... thank you, Greg ...

[@jameswikstrom4174]

You should feel honored when you get a shoutout from P1D. He is such a wonderful individual and caring . Love your progress from an SR-22 to the Vision and ultimately the Cessna M2. You are a credit to the field of aviation. You remind me of Greg. Everything by the book. Jackson Hole looks beautiful. I am impressed how friendly the controllers are at the smaller airports . Best of luck, C YA!

[@8433able]

Jet A/C you gotta by book & numbers

[@CitationMax]

James Wikstrom thank you James for your incredibly nice words! Definitely been a great journey so far

[@devonmike]

Hi Max, you are living my childhood dream. My Dad was a BOAC/BA Captain on VC10,s . When I was 21 I was offered a place at British Airways Hamble Flight Training school, unfortunately the school closed a few months before I was due to start training. There were a glutt of pilots at the time so my hopes to follow my Father’s footsteps were dashed. Twenty years later I saved enough to start Commercial Flight training again with a company called GB Air Accademy, six month into trading the school folded at the time Air Europe and Dan Air went bust. My hopes to fly commercially were dashed again. I am 66 years old now, enjoying retirement but love seeing your videos. You are so modest, and a great pilot. Haven’t seen you mess up a lading yet, always smooth. You definitely have the talent to fly and you are a pleasure to watch. I loved your flight to Jackson Hole. It must be so satisfying to be in sole charge of a Citation Jet. What a great life style you have carved out for yourself. Keep the videos going and thank you for sharing your time with us watching you. Can I ask if you could provide a brief history of your background and the company your work for. For instance who is Citation Dad and Mum. Excuse my ignorance but I only found your channel last week.

[@Adam_Gray]

👍🏼The cockpit instrument displays are amazingly detailed and clear. I can actually read them from this video with ease. Full screen mode - 4K. Cloud surfing FF mode was epic👍🏼

[@OlavSurlandHansen]

Don't you worry, young man (I am 62), you look just as stylish with your new sunglasses on as does Tom Cruise! And your piloting skills are for real!

[@mboll101x]

my favorite part of a flight is a sunset approach, esp around mountains. Beautiful! Great post

[@W1RMD]

I enjoy your positive attitude. Very encouraging! "If you put your mind to it you can do anything" That paradigm of thinking has no doubt got you were you are. Thanks for everything!

[@sidplays77]

Ryan Dunbar you forgot a shed load of cash from somewhere!

[@W1RMD]

@@sidplays77 You know, I've always thought it was the strangest secret why some people have and others have not. The ones who have, can lose it all and somehow earn it back again. Those who are poor, and win the lottery, seem to lose it all. Good luck to you!

Just out there, living the dream! Awesome video as always Max! Thanks for taking us along for the ride!

[@michelgardes]

Flying this beautiful machine single-pilot in such a wonderful place, what a dream.

[@BenNstyle]

Gotta love the views flying into Jackson Hole on such a pretty day 😍

[@scotabot7826]

You made the SMARTEST decision you could have ever made leaving that other company, and buying a Cessna. There is no comparison to be made between the two. Congrats on buying your new M2. Darn, I can't keep my mouth from watering every time I see your beautiful aircraft!

[@topgeardel]

I've watched quite a few of this man's videos by now. Very good stuff. I get the idea of the theme a guy flies by himself in a private jet. It just seems like a real waste to see those empty seats with no one else benefitting from the expensive flight. They don't have to be part of the video.

[@tmminichino9788]

The initial climb through and above the cloud line was dope brother! Awesome shot....Smooth flying keep em coming Max

[@williegillie5712]

Greg Mink will be happy to hear your using paper and a pen. The sun glasses are icing on the cake.

[@Repairman87]

Wow! Lots of private jets parked everywhere in Jackson Hole. Wyoming has been really pretty all summer with the cool wet spring we had out there.

[@ChasingDonnieBaseball]

12:14 literally like a dream sequence :) Just amazing!

[@stevesstuff1450]

Gorgeous, wasn't it? Wonderful stuff...!! :-)

[@antoniog9814]

I really like that you edited your video like G, Mink, with the multi cameras and the separate views across the bottom upon landing.

[@gregmink]

It was a very good edit!

[@deadreckoning7091]

Great video,Max. Call outs, flows, understanding of limitations all very professional. You have impressed this 4,500 hr. ATP NetJets Owner/Pilot! Outstanding! I

[@CitationMax]

Wow thank you! That means a lot. I do consider myself a professional pilot and hold myself to those standards.

[@jamie1453]

NEW TO THE CHANNEL AND I MUST SAY YOU DO A FLAWLESS JOB OF KEEPING ME ENTERTAINED! WOW! THANK YOU ! THIS FLIGHT QAS SIMPLY AMAZING!

[@tbu1mi]

Capt.- That was the best flight I've ever seen. Great Plane, Tetons, what could be better ! I can only admire your skill and calm demeanor. I could never fly (medical), but I have spent many a hr practicing IFR flights on my sim as well as learning to navigate using Great-Circle trig. because the math has always fascinated me.

[@samtuminello8597]

Max doesn't have to look like any stars, he's a great looking guy on his own.

[@alkennedy1124]

Nice flight , thanks I love the instructional commentary, thanks BigAl California.

[@rd4660]

I like it when you verbally go down the checklist so we can hear what you’re doing. It would be cool if you could show your instrument panel when you’re lighting off your engines so we can see what the dash is indicating.

[@CitationMax]

Thanks! Happy you like that part. Luckily the next video has what you’re asking for!!

[@theraklife]

So funny! My Wife and I were on our Anniversary trip to Jackson Hole/ Yellowstone literally a week before this was posted. Such a fun place to go see. I took a picture of a lear coming in to land from the North on the 23rd, had to double check this wasn't you! Clouds didn't look the same as the photo. Fun Video, thanks for posting!

[@captainron7904]

Lived in Jackson Hole for 11 years got my Private pilots license in Driggs Idaho it was awesome to fly around the Tetons. And up and down the snake river valley towards Alpine around the Palisades Reservoir and back to Driggs

[@CitationMax]

That’s great. It’s such a awesome area to fly in!

[@captainron7904]

Live in Hawaii now and it SUCKS TO FLY here really expensive no hanger to put a plane even if I owned one. Can’t wait to get out of this place. Before anyone makes a wise crack about living in paradise I have been here 30 years

[@davidwalter1528]

What a wonderfully scenic area with the Teton “spectacle”! Just amazing!

[@billbargar2284]

Max your Vlogs have both a professional and personal appeal and great editing and use of music. The M2 is a great machine it has come along way since my time with the Citation 500.

[@scottmathews3777]

I love the FlightSafety logo pen (former employee.) I also like the way you generally maintain sterile cockpit when appropriate, rather than chattering constantly as some other KZbin pilots have been known to do.

[@CitationMax]

Thanks Scott! Gotta represent flight safety haha!

Thank you!

[@bobcrone6151]

Jackson ATIS dude sounded like his wife was waiting for him ... a bit rushed, no?🤣

[@ldus]

This is very common in the US unfortunately. US controllers are notorious for their extremely fast ATIS and clearances.

[@VMCAviationVideos]

Haha, I think you're right

[@bobcrone6151]

Luke “very common” my ass. I been flying 35 years. I can assure you the way this ass-clown read the ATIS is NOT common. It was a joke. Unprofessional at best, dangerous at worst. He should have been reported for this bullshit. If you’ll notice, the kid in the vid had to listen like 4 times. I get maybe having to listen twice. But four times? Just because some asshole is either in a hurry, or trying to be cute when he reads it? Pfft. Get ur facts right, son...

[@bobcrone6151]

Navy_flyer You guys would argue with a fence post. Stupid topic. Stupid-er ATIS dude. And you know it...

[@scottmathews3777]

Maybe he moved to Jackson from New York and kept the urgency. People move West all the time seeking a less stressful lifestyle...

[@wingleberry1]

Thx for the excellent videos! Did we all see the Monarch butterfly in the lower right windshield... at around 4:18? How symbolically apropos! The bugger sort of "short-sheeted" the ATIS, and didn't bother waiting for take-off clearance AT ALL! hmm. :) I guess I can understand the urgent need to get back into the clouds as soon as possible. I bet I could do decent flairs with THOSE wings. Me and the Baron in FSX have been working touch'n'goes at Logan A LOT, lately... but I have a fairly tight centering spring on my flight-stick, and it's just a "feel for the runway" festival... ugly. What if... every airport... was actually a funnel... into a wind tunnel? Nah, bad idea. Auto-landing system... probably wiser... and NO NEED for manual flairing! YAY! :)

[@funofflying15]

You want to be Tom Cruise and I'm sitting in my study watching this video, very much wishing that I could be you. I always wanted to be a pilot right from a young age, but just didn't have the opportunity, the money or the smarts :-( Don't worry about being someone else, just enjoy the marvellous life that you already have with no doubt, a lovely family and million of dollars worth of jet to fly around in. You are in every way, the envy of most of us watching, well done! Regards from the UK :-)
