New England Swing 8: Mt Washington, New Hampshire

[@fredsillner4342]

There’s a group of mini copper owners that travel to Mt Washington every year in June. That Saturday afternoon they shut the mountain road down to traffic and close to 200 mini’s drive up to the top, visit the store, hot coffee or chocolate souvenirs and then slowly make are way back down. Most of the years you can’t even get out on the observation deck because of all the snow and stormy weather and this is in June! Also not sure if you read and looked in weather room in the observatory but atop Mt Washington recorded the the largest winds in excess of 170 mph!! Awesome video!! It’s been fun

[@fredsillner4342]

watching your videos of all the places I’ve traveled and vacationed at. Welcome to the Northeast!

[@fishingmedic1]

So this is an awesome trip you two. I always chuckle at Jamie during take off and landings between her facial expressions and the grip she has on the door handle 😆

[@vindoll6237]

She gets a little anxious, it’s all good!

[@AEROSTARCAPT]

Have enjoyed your New England tour immensely. After almost 6,000 hours and 47 years of flying at the age of 80, my Aerostar is for sale. Insurance is no longer available cat an affordable price. You guys are a great crew, I’ve enjoyed revisiting with both of you.

[@SuperPilot2011]

I love your videos I was actually the one who said 310 Pilot on the radios I was working my corporate job and was excited to hear you all on the radios!

[@MrWpns24]

Why is there 29 down votes? How could there be 1??? Haters gone hate. You guys are a fresh breath of life that some of us look forward to your videos. Be safe on your travels

[@JMOUC265]

As you spiraled for the approach to landing, I couldn't help but think of The Great One, "A little travelling [circling] music, Sammy! And, away we go!" :-)

[@billnicholson2470]

Very nice adventure as always. You two make such a great couple. Great for you to be able to go to the places that we may not be able but you take us there with your thoughtfulness. Always fun to ride along with yall.

[@robertthrailkill1368]

Very good post. You guys are a great team and make IFR in a twin look easy. Well done.

[@jeewiz2103]

So, I've been watching and subscribed for some time and I must say one of the best series I have watched. On any channel. Thank you both.

[@wingandaprayeradventures6758]

My wife Tammy and I took the Cog Train up to Pike's Peak several years ago on our bike trip to Colorado. What a cool way to see the mountains and lakes no-one else gets to see. Someone asked the conductor as we were in a 30% uphill grade at 12000 ft. "What happens if the brakes fail?" She replied that there were two large springs that would stop the train! "COLORADO SPRINGS AND MANETOU SPRINGS"!! Lol. Glad you kids are enjoying life together.....God Bless!

Great! Loved it! Thanks for not putting garbage music on the track. Hope to fly there someday.

Climbed Mt. Washington in winter holiday break while in an explorers post from Bel Air Maryland. We looked more like an Everest testing Expedition with our gear ice axes, hammers, crampons, gators on boots, wool and down apparel and sleeping bags rated to -30 or more lol. Eventually we all grew older and it took on a hole new meaning in life! Playing in the White Mts in winter ski ing, ice climbing, etc... then summer with trips to the cascades all around Mt. Washington areas. Love seeing you two in this place!

[@Wolfmots]

Just up the road from us, great area. If you ever come back you could also drive the Kankamangus which is a long scenic drive through the mountains and valleys around Mt Washington and really a ton of fun. We often ride it in groups on our Harleys and stop at various restaurants and vistas along the way. Thanks for yet another great video production.

[@vittoesmith1]

Glad to see you made it to the top of Mt. Washington. Have been up the Cog Railway, and have also driven up the access road. Wish you could have made it to Vermont. Much like New Hampshire. The lovely lady looked very nice in the dress. Good luck and God Bless.

[@nigelroberson8911]

25 years ago on a visit to USA I flew a PA28 out of Mt Washington at dusk. Loved it. Next day did the cog railway. Your video brought back happy memories.

[@Rapid454ss]

As a native New Hampshire-ite I’m so thrilled that you came this way. Never miss your videos. Not sure what time of year you where here but looks like you had great weather. Hope you enjoy your New England visit and please come back! Wonderful part of the country!

Grew up in Maine, vacationed in the White mountains. When my wife and I lived in Maryland, we traveled a couple of times a year up to Kittery/York and drove to North Conway for a nice relaxing vacation. Now we are living in Arizona and sure do miss the ability to travel up there regularly. Thank you for sharing your trip. I bring s lots of smiles and memories.

[@Steve-xf4uv]

Mount Washington Hotel is a classic. I loved it, sure you did too. The cog railway is fun ; I took the steam train departure bcz I love trains. But it's cold up there, hope they warned you. Great trip, looking forward to the next.

[@Husker627]

loving the series guys, thanks for taking us along.

[@pdxwill8524]

So team work do make the dream work! Appreciate the tight CRM you two have. Don't hurt having two experienced ATC's on the flight deck. Have really enjoyed following this trip with you.

I live here and it's such an old hotel. It 's super nice but it creeps me out for the same reason to be honest. I don't think I could ever sleep there.

Mt. Washington, another beautiful trip down memory lane. We stayed at that big hotel also but weather was such the cog-trains weren't running. Love your videos and the chatter between you guys. Reminds me of us some years back, except no IFR with our little puddle jumper. :)

Banger traffic, she’s got the accent down! That was good weather for Mt. Washington

[@bwinmaine]

Have lived in the Bangor area all my life and I can't think of a single person who says Banger. Nope, sorry... Bangah would be the downeast accent way. Banger identifies you as being "from away". Bangor with a good strong "o" is how we all say it. Just sayin'

Next time you take a trip to (Tax free) New Hampshire, Go over to North Conway for the night. They have a Ben&Jerry's that is conveniently located next to the Conway Scenic Railroad. About a mile south of the CSRR is the Muddy Moose. A great place to eat. Go early. The line out front starts around 5pm.

[@kdharley07]

I know this was about 6 months ago you were here but if you ever come back to the area you have to go to Glenn Ellis Falls just outside of North Conway. We go there every year and once you get to the bottom and see the falls it’s an awesome sight and great for pictures. We do the Kancamagus on our bike and stop at every water hole to take pictures. You have the best with the plane so please keep it up as we love to follow you to all the great sights you bring us to with you.

Hi 🙋‍♂️ y’all, this swing might be my favorite yet , it’s so pretty in that area . 1bc is looking dapper as always, it’s amazing to me how 310 has grown in such a short period of time. Everywhere y’all go people know 1bc on the ground and in the air , I like how they cleared out the airport and stuck the single engine in the corner lol that’s love ❤️ ! Ha just joking but maybe in time lol , and such a fitting ending with Jamie at the bar with the credit card .. looking forward to the next vid Kevin .

Absolutely beautiful! My god that place is a friggin' palace!!! You two really pick some beautiful places to discover, lovin' it! Footnote: If I listen carefully, I can actually hear the hydraulic pumps raising and lowering the landing gear. ✌

[@SmittySmithsonite]

Wow! Got to stay in that gigantic hotel where The Shining was filmed! NIIICE! I've driven past that my whole life and always saw it in the distance, but never once saw the inside of it. Pretty fancy! Place is HUGE! I had to chuckle, Kevin, when you said, "That wasn't in the forecast". ;) Yeah, that's the White Mtns. for ya - don't like the weather, wait 30 seconds, lol. I've seen it go from a bright, sunny day, to the biggest raindrops I've ever seen in my life, to a 6" per hour thunderstorm and back to sun, all in a matter of 20 minutes ... plus everything in between! That's my favorite somewhat local place - about a 3 hour drive north from here. That 310 just blows me away - 45 minutes to do a 4.5 hour drive from Bar Harbor to Mt. Washington! Holy crapper! I knew it was fast, but I just really didn't get it until now! The road does meander through mountains, so it's not a direct comparison, but still!! Sad to see not one steam engine on the Cog anymore. The whole green movement is killing our history (and our wallets). Really sad!! I wish I had taken a ride on the cog when I had the chance 25 years ago when it was 100% coal-fired steam. Used to give me goosebumps hearing that thing chuff up the mountain. Whenever we drove the Autoroad, we'd wait around until one came up to the summit. You'd see the smoke long before the train. Got some great pictures of her chuffing up the mountainside there. Was the original engine used from way back in the 1800's! Anyway before I start ranting, I'll end that topic. Great shots of the area guys!

New Hampshire resident here. Stayed at that hotel a few years ago for our 25th. Beautiful hotel. Crooked squeaky floors, but kinda adds to the nostalgia. Could spend hours on that back deck. And met a lot of people at the fire pit! If anybody reading this could tell me where that swimming hole is..... I thought I knew them all!

[@DHKEYWEST1]

I been told you can see Bar Harbor from Mt. Washington on a real clear day that is 50 miles what I recall. I think I would do the cog and not deal with the hairy drive next time. Yeah my fishing friend went up the road about 40 years ago and when he got where there were no more trees, it scared him so bad, he turned around and went down. I still have a little stuffed moose from there. 231 miles per hour, recorded April 12, 1934 by Observatory staff.
