New England Swing 2: NYC FAIL

Jaime and I departure Pittsburgh Allegheny County (AGC) Airport hoping to swing by New York City for a flyby of the Statue of Liberty on our way to Martha's Vineyard. During our IFR departure, we were able to show a Standard Instrument Departure (SID) procedure and then brief the special flight procedures for the Statue aerial tour. Unfortunately the weather developed well ahead of the forecast and this mission was a failure...for now.

As a former airline pilot, I have to say your co Pilot is better on the radio communication than 99% of professional pilots. It’s definitely a huge help when your co pilot can handle a radio like yours, especially in busy airspace like Chicago or New York. Fortunately for me, my girlfriend has picked it up like a pro after only few coaching from me. Cheers.

[@TraneFrancks]

Both Kevin and Jaime work ATC out of Chicago, so that explains her radio skills. :)

[@billwing5251]

Thanks for the travel vlog. Enjoy your time together and safe travels

[@johncline7518]

Kevin and Jaime, I can tell y’all have kids just because Jaime is quoting the Timmy Failure Mistakes Were Made movie. My kids watch that so often it makes my head hurt😉. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us. I have learned so much about ATC, airspace and general aviation from y’all. You’re the best!

[@s8tmanpaul77]

Thanks for the explanation of the weather on the screen. Nice to see how you guys work to make a go/no go decision.

[@yungathart7801]

Great video. I love the radio chatter between you guys and ATC. This is a great way for viewers to learn and understand how the ATC system works with pilots to keep our skies safe. Kudos to both of you! 😎👍

[@charleseinarson]

The best part of your videos is listening to how you speak to ATC. It isn’t all procedural and shows that it really is a conversation with wants and needs from both sides. I only got a little of that as an IR student and I love watching real ATC folks talking with their peers. It takes the stress off.

[@philvaughan4091]

Very enjoyable as always. I was somewhat amazed by the ATC’s responses to the SOL fly by request,,, everyone seemed very supportive and trying to make it work. Looking forward to the next videos. Y’all stay safe...

[@james3282]

You have N771BC looking so good and set up the interior perfectly. Everyone knows and everyone appreciates your channel. Thanks for taking me on the flight ✈️ 🙂

[@310Pilot]

Thanks for the nice comment James...we really appreciate the support!

[@jwschrag]

Interesting stuff! Can’t wait for the next episode!

[@bobbrandt6383]

As usual a great view “on top”. Looking forward to the next video.

[@andrewbainton4139]

Another great video Thank you. Good example of in flight decision making to adjust for deteriorating weather. Looking forward to the sequel! Jamie lookin good as always!

[@toddshiverdecker5500]

You guys, these are just really good. Love flying along with you two.... Gonna make me reconsider my IFR....

[@ga1205]

As a kid flying up to MSV from TTN before moving down to ATL (PDK area) I used to love tuning into the Huguenot VOR and hearing it say "Hugh-Go-Not V-O-R". I don't know why I remember that specifically but it was always a checkpoint we used while following the Delaware River up to NY. Hope you had a great trip.

[@Maddog29]

Y’all are the best never get tired of ur video’s. Thanks as always!!!!

[@billroberts4012]

Kevin and Jamie thank you for sharing. I know it’s early but hope you guys have A great thanksgiving holiday

[@310Pilot]

Thank you Bill...hope you and your family have a nice Thanksgiving as well.

[@monsterzero760]

Thank you for all of your great videos over the years! I want to wish you both and your family a Happy and Safe Thanksgiving! Happy and Safe Thanksgiving to all of your followers too!

[@michaelasavino]

Charlie-Oscar-Lima was the first VOR I ever tuned into while taking flight lessons almost 45 years ago! Brings back many memories!!! Son-of-a-biscuit is my new favorite saying!

[@fa300zxtt]

Jaime is very good, Kevin is very good but together you're amazing. Thanks as always for the show.

[@lucasdelosh5305]

Flew right over me here in NJ. COL is very close by! Sorry you missed the statue, but a good reason to visit us again!

[@buzzsmith8146]

Really great. You guys are a quite a team. Very enjoyable.

[@lynnkanable7023]

One of the best !!! I like how safety if your first priority over show boating!! The old bold pilot thing you know...

[@williamaragon2084]

Love your videos guys, so much that just got me subscribed!!!!!!😀😀😀 To some you are fun and to others inspiration... For me you are both!!! Thanks for sharing your videos, my best wishes for you guys!!! God bless😌

[@RJ9mech]

It's neat to hear you negotiating with ctr and apch. This helps those of us outside the atc community to learn some new potential options which might be out there. Thanks for sharing!

[@markmaccani9411]

Kevin, Great job on the video. Sorry things didn't work out as planned. But a guy can't beat the weather. Best to stay clear. Have a great weekend.

[@drcritterberry]

I don’t know why but I got so excited that you guys flew nearly right over my little airport in Central PA (KSEG). Love the channel!!!

[@waqarsyed6641]

AWESOME.... always good to see you guys...... safe flying from KIAH

[@richorourke7872]

Always a pleasure flying with u Enjoy the views. Good luck Jamie And Kevin enjoy your thanksgiveing Hope u get a lot turkey.

Once again great stuff you guys!!

Looking forward to next segment!

[@davidgoldberg3363]

I really enjoy your escapades. I’m an 88 year old retired pilot of a P35 Bonanza. SMEL INSTR. 3304 hrs. I feel like I’m there with you when I follow along . Keep up the good works

[@sjb1157]

Really enjoy your videos!!! Your plane is gorgeous!!! Keep up the good work and fly safe!!!

[@1derol]

Jamie is just fabulous working the COMMS. Always enjoy the ATC banter "We follow your KZbin channel" and such. Aviation is a close knit community even among us maintainers.

[@friedclutch97]

Jamie is a controller. 310 pilot too.

[@NovejSpeed3]

Maintainers are just as important as the pilots and controllers. You guys are appreciated.

[@YX3788]

Absolutely love these videos!

[@400AGLNET]

The Statue is a wonderful sight, I've seen it many times in all my years of trucking (35). I'll bet its amazing from 500ft. Maybe y'all will get another chance to see it from the air. Great video, thanks for sharing...

[@kevincollins8014]

Glad to see good decision making instead of we need to get there to see it. Those thunderstorms sure are amazing looking from a distance for sure. They will show you real quick just how small you really are. Thanks for bringing me along with ya. Maybe the Statue tour next time.

[@Brianj69]

You guys are absolutely amazing 🛩

[@davel2223]

Always good to share your adventures with you . Wise choice in going around the storms. The statue tour by air is over rated, best do the actual on ground tour. I.ve been there and found it very interesting. Dave

[@Willis69]

I love flyin the new York corridor, it’s such a awesome visual experience

[@hevykevy56]

Because I love aviation, this is by far my favorite channel. 1 bc is soo pretty up there , hope y’all enjoy your vacation

[@ryanpowell5366]

I’m sure you know of, aviation101. He’s very helpful when trying to understand concepts and ADM. Lewdix(good pilot and funny) ofc steveo1kinevo. Fly8MA and mzeroa put out great educational videos

[@310Pilot]

Thank you Kevin...that's really saying a lot!! Glad you're enjoying the channel. :)

[@Lancelot59]

I enjoyed this video. Thank You. When I was a boy i spent some time swimming at Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket. I hardly ever got killed so go ahead but keep close to shore.

[@rackum44]

You're a great pilot Kevin, besides leaving me in suspense for the rest of the trip to Martha's vineyard lol

[@310Pilot]

Thank you rackum!! Sorry about the hanger but I try to keep the videos around 20 min or so if I can. When I started editing it turned into a 40+ min video so I had to break it up.

[@kosmidts]

Great one Guys!! Thanks

[@tortueis]

These videos are always awesome whenJamie is around ..:)

[@davidsouthcott1564]

Hi guys from Adelaide South Australia. Sad you could not fly over the Statue of Liberty. We have been to NYC 2 times now and really loved the city and the Statue. Look forward to your continued adventures . Safe flying.

[@mrlatenightdrinker3962]

good call, living in NJ took boat to Statue of Liberty always a good trip and never disappointed, hope you can make another trip sometime soon

[@danaskubic2145]

Would have loved a statue tour, it is what it is, nice flight. Great introduction, thanks for sharing.

[@tinman195]

Whatever you two decide, be safe always!!!

[@lawn65]

Y’all rock keep it coming. Keep keeping on living the life y’all stay safe out there

[@LtColDaddy71]

As I sit on extended time off (voluntary) it's good to hear familiar voices. I've talked to you quite a few times coming in and out of MDW. Thankfully, it takes is many controllers to manage empty planes as it does full ones.

[@govbradford]

Was waiting for the Vineyard approach. I was hoping to see you fly over my house. Guess I'll see in part 3!

[@310Pilot]

Vineyard approach will be out tomorrow morning! Sorry, had to break that flight up or the video would have been way too long.

[@bigdog1275]

Ahh..was waiting for this episode, best thing about KPIT is departure...!

[@RealPhix]

2:50 is so wholesome, and I agree that the aviation community is awesome! I'm not a pilot but aviation is one of my interests, so I might one day work towards it. I just love watching aviation videos and everytime someone recognizes a pilot from KZbin I find it heartwarming. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the swing!

[@310Pilot]

It really is pretty special to hear people recognize us out and about. Just a testament to how tight-knit the aviation community is. Hope you continue to enjoy the series. :)

[@poolguydave5426]

This is so cool. I use to fly out of BVI when I was going to ATC school. We talked to a lot of these guys too. I often wish I kept my license.

[@nitsy-bitsy7373]

I enjoyed watching your videos! It seems like you two are professional pilots!😊

[@pslny]

Love Martha's Vineyard, and Nantucket. My neck of the woods. We did a Covid anniversary loop, ACK, BHB, and Lake George at the beginning of Oct. First close call with ice of the season.

[@AidansAviationAdventures]

Nice video Kev and Jamie , looking forward to the next part . sorry you didnt get to see NYC on the hudson river tour .. if you make it to NYC at any stage in the future post covid , Id be happy to take you around the city in a cirrus . Happy thanksgiving to you all .. stay safe .. better times ahead ..

[@ericroyjohn]

So enjoyed this first part of the trip. Hoping that we could have seen the harbor but best be safe. My old home town, NYC.

[@mikejw58]

Key word....OLD. You and every other fortunate individual

[@310Pilot]

Glad you enjoyed it Eric! We were really bummed it didn't' work out. I've never been near NYC and seeing it all from the air would have been awesome. We'll get it done one of these days!

[@Photocollector2010]

Very interesting video. Can't wait to see the next part. I landed at Martha's Vineyard in 1972 as a student pilot on my second cross country flight. I was member of Quonset Point Naval Air Station Aero Club in Rhode Island (now Quonset State Airport). I landed at Martha's Vineyard the morning after the only hanger had burned to the ground full of airplanes the night before. Very memorable. Keep up the videos. I follow you via KZbin and Google Earth Maps all the time. I live just north of Dallas now. Thanks!

[@midlifeflyer]

Even though you ended up not doing it, I love that you showed pilots how easy it is to ask for the unusual, even when on a IFR flight plan heading into very busy airspace.

[@colinimmelman6435]

Thanks for sharing.

[@yourpalfranc]

Bummer about the weather, but you guys are definitely the Aviation Power Couple!! ~Frank

[@Donaica1]

Hello again, I just love flying with you guys, and nice decision to not go to see the statue, it is not fun flying into thunder storm, even with a jet, see you again love you guys ❤️

[@75Seneca2]

Avoiding TCU & CB is never a fail in my books. Good call on the weather. Looking forward to rest of flight!

[@trafficsignal101]

Glad Jamie is back in the plane.

[@brianking7203]

I enjoy your videos Thank you from Boston

[@rikspector]

It was nice to here a ATC recognize you both. I'm from the NYC, NJ area , so I know it well. I really hope you have a second chance but just seeing you both heading for Martha's Vineyard where my sister in law used to have 2 rental properties , makes me happy for you. I've never been there, but my daughter baby sat her cousins there years ago and said the Island was awesome! Happy Sky Trails😁 Cheers, Rik Spector

[@iggy8702]

Wife and I spent a weekend in that hotel a few years ago when the Cubs were in town. Saw a couple of Cubs/Pirates games, took the inclined railway to the top of Mount Washington, ate dinner overlooking the three rivers. Fun weekend.

[@samuelgolden2195]

Awesome videos

[@atcpilot4life]

I flew with a fellow from Virginia to Massachusetts and we were above the clouds as well and didn’t get to see much. Makes for a great reason to try again!

[@GrantGrove]

Interesting flight with really good decision making on the fly.

[@observer1242]

I am so impressed with how service oriented ATC is on the East Coast.

[@peternancoz3031]

I've flown in the NYC area for many years. I've never heard them be that cooperative. They are very professional, but with the amount of traffic, they typically can't accommodate many special requests.

[@commentatron]

@@peternancoz3031 Maybe Bravo Charlie's reputation has proceeded them ;-)

[@ryanblock1375]

I regularly talked to philly approach during my training, and as long as you stayed clear of KPHL, they would let you do pretty much whatever you wanted.

[@friedclutch97]

Covid. No where near the air traffic load right now.

[@310Pilot]

We were also very happy with the service from NY Center and Approach. As Robert mentioned, with COVID that area is way down so that probably helped some. :)

[@GeraldLaumeyer]

As always really enjoyed your video I wish KZbin would send the notices out again

Great video, Kevin. We attempted to fly the Hudson corridor a couple years ago when we flew my mom from Chicago to FRG for a visit. WX didn’t cooperate for us then either. Still a fun trip!

Thank you Coyle! One of these days we'll get it done! I was hoping to make last Thursday but the whitetails were calling my name so I went hunting. See you around.

[@mikeramsey9747]

I wish more pilots were as accommodating as you two when weather starts becoming a factor.

[@310Pilot]

Ha ha...thanks Mike. The day job for us and the desire to not go near bad weather probably helps that.

awww what a great video yes kevin is a good pilot even tho u leave all of us in suspence yes pittsburgh is great to go out to dinner hang out ive went up to mount washington it is awesome u should try it good food up there to and awesome views of the city hope to seee you sooon in marthas vineyard good luck guys much love and peace

Not a Fail at all, it was a good call to skip the Statue in my opinion. Good work.

Hopefully you get out to Nantucket (ACK) my hometown/island. Beautiful place to visit in the fall after the crowds head home.

We did make it out there. That video should be out a week from tomorrow...if I get it edited on time. :) It was really nice but way more crowded than we'd had thought. If we make it back again we will probably take your advice on the fall.
