Thanks Adam! I definitely believe in paying it forward and hope I don’t disappoint. Thanks for watching and supporting!

[@ProPilotPete]

Beautiful bird. You’re one proud papa! Can’t wait for some videos in flight!

[@DonAv8s]

Thanks Pete!

[@Bearman099]

Very beautiful and you are worth it

[@danpiraino]

Very nice looking ride !!

[@DonAv8s]

Thanks Dan! I flew to Marsh Harbour the other day and was thinking of you. Those blue waters are amazing.

[@johnleahy4604]

Great looking bird, hope to get a look at it some time when you come to NH until then enjoy and stay healthy. 👌

[@DonAv8s]

Thanks John! I'll be up soon! Take care!

[@JayBrowning-s1o]

Congrats on the new bird, Don. Look,forward to seeing you again. We met in Knoxville for recurrent last August.

[@DonAv8s]

Hi Jay! I remember! I hope all is well. Thanks for connecting and watching.

[@rossreed9974]

Beautiful airplane & congrats! Safe travels and wishing happiness and success in all that you do, love your videos!

[@DonAv8s]

Thanks so much, Ross! Thanks for watching as well!

[@stevespessard2306]

Absolutely awesome color combo. Congrats!

[@DonAv8s]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@rprouser1]

Beautiful aircraft! Sounds like a perfect excuse to customize your bags with N90DP!

[@DonAv8s]

Funny you mention this. Cirrus gave me four custom luggage tags with my tail number. Although both bags had name tags and red remove before flight tabs. Thanks for watching!!

[@PapaRick68]

Like the color scheme, classy!

[@DonAv8s]

Thanks Rick!

[@tomnasser4720]

Congrats again Don! I think removing the 2 cross country seats is a good idea to allow more weight and free up space. I don't think I'll ever have more than 4 or 5 people max. Thanks again for sharing your videos. I still want to fly with you sometime if you're available.

[@DonAv8s]

Hi Tom! I also take seat #4 out as well sometimes. The executive seats do not allow seat #4 to form a bench either seats 3 and 5 like in my G1. I also move seat #4 to the mid position so it can recline from time to time. I am excited to get my schedule sorted so we can fly together.

[@troysmith7472]

She's a stunner. Enjoy the new bird.

[@DonAv8s]

Thank you, Troy! Much appreciated! Thanks for watching!

[@thejasonhaney]

Looks great, Don! I'll be excited to see it on the field. My offer to man radios and act as co-star in an upcoming video still stands 😂!

[@DonAv8s]

That would be fun. Maybe I will pick up some volunteer medical flights after the dust settles and have you poke holes in clouds with me. Go to the video description and email me your contact.

[@thejasonhaney]

@@DonAv8s count me in! $100 hamburgers on me.

[@DonAv8s]

@@thejasonhaney I’ll look for for your email. It’s a $1100 hamburger 🍔 in the jet 🛩️ 😭

[@thejasonhaney]

@@DonAv8s Packed lunches it is!! haha

[@DonAv8s]

@@thejasonhaney It’s fun to fly for lunch though. I didn’t see your email pop in yet.

and the quality of the iphone video is really good.

Beautiful 😍

Thanks Larry!

[@bunkerrocketworks3190]

Never ever leave bags unattended, especially at an airport. Doesn’t need explaining in this crazy World. Very cool aircraft 👍

[@DonAv8s]

Thanks. Private FBO’s are not like the “crazy world” of an airport terminal. Suffice to say, you have to be aware of security measure there… There was only me and six other in the FBO at the time. Of course, you also understand this was the private side of the airport and not the terminal. Its known as a secure area. Bags are generally left unattended in the FBO since its a secure environment. I am not saying its best practices, but saying it happens due to the nature of the area. Only pilots and passenger on private flights are there. Sure, I should not have taken my eyes off of the bag, but I was only sitting about 8 feet away. Certainly close enough to hear the conversation between the passengers and their pilot. We all suffered from inattention.

[@ProPilotPete]

I had a similar thing happen to me. Lots of pilots and pax in the lobby after an event, a pro active FO grabbing bags had grabbed mine. I actually had no idea who got them but once they made it to the destination and they unloaded and my bag was unclaimed, the captain investigated and gave me a call. Fortunately they went to an airport about an hour away from my home airport. The pilot drove it out to meet me. I since added crew tags to all my bags in the hopes that a crew would recognize their own bags. Glad yours was a happy ending as well.

[@DonAv8s]

It happens for sure. No bad intentions, but in pro aviation pilots needs to keep things on schedule and moving. Picking up bags is a clue to tell passengers its time to board. I would love to fly 135 again so I could get Known Crew tags. They are unique and visible.

[@ProPilotPete]

@@DonAv8s I got my crew tags from FSI. Maybe cirrus has them?

[@DonAv8s]

@@ProPilotPete My flight bag has a generic CREW tag with RFID and barcode. It is registered with the vendor that produced to it can be tracked like baggage on the airlines. Its black with white lettering. Those known crew tags are more visible with blue letters on a white tag. Of course, if nobody looks for tags, they won’t see them.

[@matt_waddy]

The Porsche (Macan, I believe?) is also an excellent new addition to the hangar!

[@DonAv8s]

You are correct Matt. That is the wife’s car. Borrowed it for the day.

[@PapaRick68]

Did I hear room for golf clubs!?!? Sign me up

[@DonAv8s]

Yes Sir! I’ve never tried it myself. Looks Like they would fit well.

[@thomascook5788]

Looks amazing! Love that interior. Congratulations. Stop by KLNA and take me for a ride :)

[@DonAv8s]

Thanks Thomas! I was at PBI yesterday afternoon flying a client’s jet. I’ll keep LNA in mind.

[@noleftturns]

Apple Airtags - 4 costs about $100, and I put them in all our bags and cars. Saved our butts many times. Battery lasts about 2 years and even the dog has one in the collar. I highly recommend them or their equivalent for Android.

[@DonAv8s]

Thanks for the tip. My iPad has a tag and it did not alert me when they walked away with it and my bags. 🤔

[@noleftturns]

@@DonAv8s@DonAv8s I don't think it sends alerts when separated, but it is easy to locate when you realize it is missing.

[@DonAv8s]

@@noleftturns Thankful we played detective, solved the mystery and had tracking. Otherwise, the tags could have helped.

[@noleftturns]

@@DonAv8s You have a beautiful jet - hope to see many rides in it. Congrats.

[@mts982]

need to put a tag on the bags with your info.

[@DonAv8s]

What makes you assume they don’t have tags? They bother have red “Remove Before Flight” tags and also engraved ID tags. It doesn’t make a different if the person picking them us doesn’t look.

[@mts982]

@@DonAv8s well that pilot should take a sec then and read the tags to make sure. wouldve taken 2 seconds especially since you were close by.

[@mts982]

its the VW bug of planes.

[@DonAv8s]

Sorry, but that is an insult. Most people who compare Vision Jets to automobile at least refer to it more appropriately as a “SUV in the sky”. I am starting to expect odd or off color comments when I see your handle in the notifications. I can’t quite understand why you watch this content.

[@mts982]

@@DonAv8s the shape of it is that of the beetle. not an insult an observation.

[@mts982]

@@DonAv8s i would hardly call it an insult: 23 million Beetle vehicles All told, more than 23 million Beetle vehicles were sold worldwide. Whether it was in everyday life or on the silver screen (the Bug has been featured in dozens of movies), thanks to its iconic looks, it brought smiles wherever it went.
