Night Flier- Private Jet Into the Night!

[@mayorstoner3459]

How many folks said "wow" when he broke out of those clouds and hit the sunset? Nice greaser to Greg.

[@gregmink]

judging by the number of likes on your comment, quite a few!

[@SkylineBaronPilot]

I know I did!!! 😁 beautiful flight and landing of course.

[@gregmink]

Thank you!

[@mikenj2]

Yes that was the best part! One reason I got my instrument ticket ;)

[@jamesbrown3358]

Even knowing it was going to happen, still got a WOW! One of the joys of flight.

[@nbrowser]

The climb breaking through the clouds...Greg...that was a thing of beauty to catch on camera! Thank you for sharing these flights sir.

[@ridesar]

What he said. Took my breath away.

[@kevinmanning8214]

Would have been a thing of beauty filming from a chaser aircraft.

[@Th3Butcher76]

I was going to comment the same thing Truly breath taking

[@tomhawk8240]

Yes absolutely positively beautiful

[@stevemanchester6108]

Very few gets the privilege of this view. Thanks for sharing.

[@pilota3405]

it's a good day when we have a new video from p1D

[@danrussell9887]

How true

[@TEH2121]

Mornin Greg, I will keep my Late June calendar open in case you have time. And thanks again for your FLOGs (Flight Logs) we all enjoy. I didn’t get my full message typed when I accidentally hit send last time . I was going to add that Kristen “Beo” Wolfe, the F35 Viper show pilot flies one part of her routine right over my house at about 500 AGL. Heading south out of the base she does a 270 degree right roll immediately into a HARD left which brings her over my way by the mountain . She then makes a hard right to circle back for alignment over the runway and does a super zoom to about 6000 AGL. All of it while in full military power with glorious dancing diamonds . And unlike the 16 which is quiet, the 35 is heart stopping loud and literally shakes everything around and every house. Noisy but sounds like freedom and fun too. Tim H.

[@gregmink]

Because a lot of you asked what this means. "RESUME NORMAL SPEED" - Used by ATC to advise a pilot to resume an aircraft's normal speed . It is issued to terminate a speed adjustment where no published speed restrictions apply. This does not relieve the pilot of any applicable speed restrictions such as 250 KIAS below 10,000" or 200 KIAS below Class B airspace.

[@mjphillips76]

I pay attention to the details. It's the little things that are the most important to listen to.

[@mikeok75]

Thanks for the answer I like to learn win I can

[@tobyray8700]

I also pay VERY close attention to the words that come from your mouth Greg. I'm flying the Longitude on FS2020, attempting to adhere to the strict standards that you and Max fly by. I occasionally work very close to Atlantic Aviation at KSLC. I think if I looked over and seen N390GM sitting there, I'd S**T myself.... :-)

[@tobyray8700]

WILL ALWAYS BE MY #1 KZbin CHANNEL !

[@stephenmyers1408]

Being a retired freight dog, night flying my favorite.

[@cogman62]

Just have my PPL, but I love flying at night. It’s usually calmer, smoother and less traffic in the air.

[@gregmink]

Thanks for watching!

[@y4productionsfitness897]

I like flying at this time I hv been flight ✈️

[@jamesa.2880]

@@gregmink I'm in northwest Indiana, where can I train to get a pilots license?

[@stevenhodgkinson7462]

That sunset as you came out of the clouds.... spectacular Love the night flights great video Greg 👋

[@amfwelsh]

always love that conversation with ATC when people call out your name.

[@davidrobins4025]

A night flight is always nice - not a lot to see outside except the SPECTACULAR sunset. Thanks

[@colinkulasik1128]

Grey, I just want to say how much I've learned from simply watching your videos. You do a great job including us non pilots and explaining the technical things

[@gregmink]

I appreciate that!

[@jimbarrofficial]

Something about night flights that are fascinating. All that sky, but plenty of technology and a great pilot to get you there with no worries.

[@mynameisray]

05:33 - Views like that are why I fly. That beautiful sight NEVER gets old.

[@gregmink]

Thanks for watching!

[@feldwebel5]

I was just wondering about a night flight video before you this was posted. Awesome!

[@4855712]

That landing was smooth as Betty White making a birthday cake.

[@HavocStylesJoe]

5:43 Ohhhh man that breakout F'ing gorgeous!

[@rudyhoblit1225]

Thanks Greg! Enjoy your videos. If your ever in Seattle, let me know. Cheers

[@TactlessWookie]

Excellent short vid. The sunset after popping out over the clouds was a thing of beauty. I also liked seeing the houses on the ground under your final all lit up for Christmas.

[@ronhuckaby5336]

The fear of flying blind in pitch black is not even an issue with you, you are so good. And to watch it and hear it is a pleasure beyond words. so scary yet so absolutely breathtakingly beautiful. I can never take you for granted, you always impress.

[@danieltopham5911]

Enjoyed looking at the panel in night mode and listening to your banter as always..you were right the night skies there were very dark.

[@jaclark34]

Great airport. I was born in Hammond and grew up in Highland. Now live in Arizona.

[@rickbunn9789]

In the late seventies, Collins came out with an all LED readout on their avionics (installed in a new Warrior II I was flying at the time). Loved night flights and city lights--twinkled like diamonds on black velvet.

[@LAAvgRay]

The shot when you broke through the clouds was... WOW!!!!!!!! Such colors!

[@prestonmiller9552]

Video turned out fairly well but night recording is always a challenge. Thanks greg for a little variety and a night flight.

[@minerdad02]

Yes WOW was the first words out of my mouth as he ascended out of the clouds many thank you for your work and sharing drive safe!

[@jeffjensen27]

Always a great time flying with you & I Thank You 🙏 For Allowing Us As Virtually Passengers To Fly With You 🙏👏😀

[@andrewjohnson9279]

When that sunset pops as you clear the layers... Wow.

[@bookooc5605]

You are living a blessed life!

[@chaz921dren8]

I liked the night flight. Those wing strobe lights were very bright in the clouds/IMC

[@Mountain_Man]

Always been a life long dream to get my pilots license now that I’m 35, a Marine Corps Veteran, a father, husband, and 100% service connected disability. I am not able to afford this dream. The GI Bill will not cover private pilots license but it will cover all ratings afterwards. So being able to watch your channel and other flying channels helps scratch the never ending itch of wanting to fly and pilot an aircraft. Keep up the hard work!

[@muffinstuffin6]

I’ve never caught a video this early. What a way to start a Saturday. Thanks Greg!! Edit: ......Butter.

[@ronmoore5827]

That shot breaking out on top with the sunset could be an aviation poster.

[@rdwilander]

Colors popped.... I bought a 360 ONE R for Christmas , now all I need is the jet 😉😎

[@JonnyMainframe]

Landed as smooth as a silk shirt. Enjoyed the night video.

[@raythompson5920]

Wow, landing at night is a light show! Thanks!!

[@horatiobeaker]

Wow, sunset was pretty. Always a bonus when you get to see the sun set twice in one afternoon.

[@LTFIRE64]

Greased that landing...night flying is a different animal, love the look of the runway at night on approach, looking forward to the the next vid, stay safe my friend!

[@gregmink]

Thanks for watching!

[@lakesideview1181]

Love the night flying also, thanks for putting this one together Greg.

[@dgosbo43]

Your 360 camera does excellent. The sky colors at sunset really stood out. It's like being there. Thanks for the videos sir.

[@jacobepstein4009]

Love the night flights with the lights on ground so relaxing

[@gregmink]

Me too!

[@Nkindi]

... and the Range Rover is waiting, thumbs UP!

[@khairlines]

i've never heard of someone disliking strobes in the clouds! It's like a mini rave :)

[@abooismail]

Change of pace is always nice. Nice flight. Sudden sunset skimming the clouds was beautiful.

[@Amayi1]

Greg hearing you say what the date was; December 13th, tells me, it takes a lot for you to produce and edit a video to post it on January 30, 2021. Man thanks for sharing your journey's and all the hard work you do to getting it to us!!

[@gregmink]

It does take some time.

[@dpm-jt8rj]

I don't land that well in my dreams! The canopy is a nice touch and the marshaller was nice and sharp. That airport was called Terry back when I was taking lessons! Another excellent video Greg. The last few minutes of the sun setting in Mid-December was a very nice touch.

[@funkengruven7773]

Wow, Dec 13th... I wish it was still Dec 13th. I'd be getting ready to go on vacation soon and have that wonderful Christmas/New Year's vibe all over again.

[@89faul]

I like how take your time when you can. You read back your takeoff clearance so calmly and clearly.

[@gregmink]

Thanks for watching!

[@ralphups7782]

You know that you have arrived, when the control tower calls you by your first name. ;-)

[@terrymertz1923]

and when your Range is running on the ramp!

[@jbj27406]

Boy, she got right off the ground on that departure takeoff!

[@kwizikle65]

Another great video Greg. Love the fact that so many ATC staff know you! Thank you for sharing.

[@jhyde2129]

That sunset was stunning. I really like the night videos, Greg. In addition to the breathtaking views, the avionics displays are clearer (sometimes), making it easier to follow along.

[@frankgrisdale4513]

From start to finish, PERFECT!! Please keep the night flights coming.

[@gregmink]

Thanks for watching!

[@berryadcock7257]

Glad for a night flight. It was a good change of pace. Also, thank you for working with my daughter on my Christmas cap. She really appreciated your help. She always knows what to get Dad.

[@bensleeper4731]

"AAAACEE". hahahahah, love it

[@DanielC__]

No doubt. Slick and greasy

[@YaofuZhou]

Parked at KGGY for a few days in my longest travel in a Cherokee. It always feels special to me when an aviation channel I follow flies off the same airport.

[@NathanElcoate]

5:47 how amazing.

[@HASBOU]

You're not supposed to catch everything in the dark, and that is the beauty of nights.

[@advorsky1]

Cool night flight!!!

[@pew6126]

Used to love night flying! Great memories. All hand flying. No autopilot.

[@danwesinger3802]

Cloud breakout was beautiful!

[@lapipesmoker3751]

It was great flying at night for a change. Especially enjoyed punching up to the clouds and looking at the sun setting. Thanks for taking the time to share the flight. I look forward to the next one.---Todd.

[@gregmink]

Thanks for watching!

[@DanielCharry1025]

Excellent video! Seeing the sunset above the cloud layer was a great moment imo.

[@mattc9096]

Hey Gregg, that 360 really does a great job of low light situations. And yeah, I went "wow, beautiful" when you broke through!

[@youtubenoob6722]

I feel like it’s always difficult to film at night but you did great Greg! In real life it’s not always day time, keep em comin! 👍

[@gregmink]

Thanks! Will do!

[@KenBlackRifleAmerica]

What a gorgeous sunset when you broke through ceiling....sweet!

[@gregmink]

Yes it was!

[@kenbryant2570]

Loved the light show on the horizon. That was great.

[@hiighflyer13]

Life is good... chilly morning here in Lone Tree, CO. Have the fireplace going, hot cup of coffee and a new P1D video to start the day. A night flight to boot. Came out looking great Greg! Clear skies to you sir!

[@ReallyFarFarAway]

👍 That was different : the climb out, breaking through the clouds was fantastic & the landing good as well !!! 👍

[@gregmink]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@Will-nl6il]

This is a good channel. Thanks for captions as well. Aloha....

[@St8ks]

The camera picked up the night amazing, Keep it up

[@gregmink]

Awesome, thank you!

[@douglasker9770]

"Put out my hand, and touched the face of God" Thank you Greg for allowing us to see the majesty P.O. John G. Magee Jr. spoke of in High Flight. Simply beautiful.

[@gregmink]

Thanks for watching!

[@butchlewis5109]

That was pretty cool, really enjoy watching your channel.

[@mijyadoc5374]

Thank you very much for what you do here. Very much appreciated!

[@ralphw3]

This video can out great, Greg!! Thanks for showing us a night flight.

[@mcmdrpiffle447]

Hi Greg, I recently found your site this week. I'm subscribed and enthralled! I don't often comment for relevant advice on sites, but after seeing your's, I was compelled. Myself and my Group at Jeppesen/Boeing were responsible for the majority of the initial flight testing for the Premier Jet. This was during the mid-late 2000's. We were doing several 'tiny jets' around that time, the Premier being one of them. We were doing high altitude/high density altitude testing in Ecuador, cross wind configurations in Svalbard, engine out and drift down over the blue spruce routes / Labrador/Greenland/Iceland/Scotland, and everything in between! I retired from Boeing/Jeppesen in 2014. Segue to this week when I came across your site. Fascinating. It is simply beautiful to see what this fine Aircraft has become. I remember the initial contract negotiations with Beechcraft, the numbers of test flights in the potential contract, flying out there to work with their team..........everything in between. Now, I'm able to tune into your Channel and see a professional presentation of what this Sierra Hotel jet has actually become! I'm your age. I have been fascinated the last several days, diving into your videos around the Jet. Weird, now that I'm out of Aviation and in law enforcement, that I kind of feel 'proud papa' like when I see your productions. Lot for me to write, but wanted to do so Sir. Mike Ferguson Santa Cruz Ca.

[@gregmink]

Thanks Mike! Would love to see any old photos or things you have of the testing processes in the Premier.

[@rickrich7325]

Great trip! And that landing was perfect! I miss flying so much, so tired of this covid mess. I need to get a jet & pilot !

[@MarciusMGSouza]

It's nice to watch your videos flying around your country. From Goiania, Goias state, Brazil.

[@gregmink]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@theofficialdoc_313]

5:32 That was beautiful! Reminded me of MFS 2020. Definitely consider doing more Night Flights!

[@olbuck]

Breaking thru the ceiling on decent, the interior panel lights and the city lights matched perfectly. Great gear great editing as always. Thank you!

[@gregmink]

Thanks for watching!

[@bradrook3919]

Yes, a new notification of a new vid. from Premier 1 Driver...Thank you for taking us along Greg...Night Flight...

[@gregmink]

Thanks for watching!

[@sebastianzepeda2279]

I liked the video before even watching it. You always know it’s going to be good! ✈️

[@gregmink]

Hope you enjoyed it!

[@kevinschwebs1404]

Very cool coming thru the clouds.....

[@gerardvandervoort]

A night flight, finally! :-)

[@jameswenzel7908]

Very nice Greg. I never get tired of sunsets at altitude. Very slick landing. Thanks.

[@nicogi]

Turned out beautifully, Greg! I love flying at night. Here's to more of those night flying videos!

[@gregmink]

Thanks, will do!

[@wiav8r]

Beautiful sunset! I could watch you panel all day (night) long! Thank you Greg!

[@gregmink]

Thanks for watching!

[@StefBelgium]

11:35 "from NIPPLES"? 😂😂🤣 Oh yeah I definitely like flying IFR!

[@XX-166]

Very nice, looking forward to more night flights if possible.

[@gregmink]

More to come!

[@josephb5989]

This is one of my favorite videos of yours, the night flying is a great experience!

[@gregmink]

Glad to hear it!

[@maximus3907]

Dark at 5PM in Chicagoland absolutely believable, it's the same way from mid-December to mid-January in Minneapolis. Thanks for the videos, feeds my aviation need until I can get my license.

[@MartyBecker]

The earliest sunset time in the Chicago area is 16:19. It occurs in the early part of December.

[@Boodieman72]

By the time you reach the top of the climb it's time to descend again. :)

[@CraigBMM]

I know right .. like flying Fort Lauderdale into Cancun to visit my sister .. up then down .. like those

[@PastorKwangle]

I enjoyed watching the night flight. It was certainly worth watching! Thanks for this perspective!

[@Jaden48108]

"Ace" indeed.

[@JT-uf4pg]

thanks, when ones sees the earth from 5000 to thirty during the day and the night is is almost a spiritual moment in one life. it is a sight one will never forget.

[@markaoslo5653]

9:20 - _"Rocket man"!_

[@michelrail]

I love night flight! To me everything is clearer. The cities, the traffic everything is more visible in the dark. Perfect time to fly with Premier 1 Rider. Night is always calmer than day time. Much less convection.

[@gregmink]

Thanks for watching!

[@freshairforever7760]

I always dreamed of flying jets , LOL !! At 62 I kinda missed my chance , Thank You for your service Greg flying that F-16 , and I look forward to every video of yours , You the Man !!!!

[@gregmink]

Thanks for watching!

[@nyuscdjs]

Would you recommend owning this after the years of experience you have had with the plane? Fuel burn, unscheduled maintenance, parts availability, uptime reliability?

[@gregmink]

Yes! The plane is incredible.

[@Papa_Kilo]

I love the fact that you fly through Indiana. I lived close to Valparaiso Indiana for several years. Now back in the UK unfortunately.

[@gregmink]

Thanks for watching!

Well, it's better than being "Back at UK" Go Indiana!

LOL, I believe it was.
