The stall horn sounded like Chris’s rendition of “clear” prop. Awesome footage and you’ve yet again captured the right reasons of why I fly!

[@billylallen2662]

Nathan Jackson I was thinking that too.

It totally did lol!!

[@Yak54PR]

We're planning on a 1,150 Milles trip to Sun and Fun on 2020, from San Juan Puerto Rico (US) to Lakeland Florida...We have like 7 planes interested on the trip... So from Puerto Rico to the Dominican republic, the Bahamas, then Florida!! let see how that goes..

[@Ep339]

Perfect timing! I just completed my first landing on my own!

[@Payne2view]

This reminds me of when I would drive East before dawn, on my way to airshows the other side of the UK. I'd get a sunrise and see the contrails of airliners on their way to Heathrow and mainland Europe. It certainly is a special time of the day.

[@smartycummins2500]

Dude, your editing is so far ahead and so much better than any other KZbin channel out there. You are a really good story teller and I find myself feeling as if I’m right there. I’m actually a commercial pilot myself working on CFI. Great videos man!

[@demoacct]

Not just the editing - think of what a pain in the arse it would be to stage a camera outside your hangar at 4AM, and then have to re-drive your car around to capture footage of "arriving at the hangar" :)

[@multitieredinvestor5246]

I soloed 42 years ago today. Cessna 150 on a 13,000 foot runway. GRK when Fort Hood had a flying club.

[@blakehamilton8720]

That is so beautiful! I cannot wait until I finally get my student license. I currently have 20 hours, but I’m 15. I turn 16 in April. Cannot wait! Thank you! You have inspired me.

where you training? im 15 and will hopefully start training soon

[@flyjarrett]

I was a precision landing pilot on my flight team in college and we would start our practices at 6am every day, frequently watching sunrises from the pattern. The pilots were all big fans of HBO’s “From the Earth to the Moon” and at sunrise, one would key the mike and quote Alan Bean from the miniseries: “My, that sun is bright!” Inevitably, another pilot would chime in and respond: “Feels good!”

[@sailormike1089]

Anybody else think that the stall warning horn sounded like someone letting the air out of balloon really slow....

[@gevmage]

Cessnas have a reed stall horn, so it essentially is that.

[@JIM152172]

i thought it was Otto screaming!

[@christophermichaelson9050]

I was thinking "3, 2, 1, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!"

you got this! it opens your eyes so much.

[@lenisbeltran4888]

7:36 beautiful sunrise

[@robertmaza4272]

Loved seeing "Auto" co-pilot! Loved that movie! Missed 80991 so about time you paid some attention to her!!! I do a lot of fishing that early in the morning and every sun rise is different! The best time of day!!! Never the same!!! Time to do more of those and take us along!!!

[@Olliwer]

Rob Maza He’s called Otto, but yeah.

[@ramzzess]

Beautiful. About “why don’t I get up early” come to the north, we have sunrise at 10 am

[@hegarty134]

You make everyone want to be a better pilot, guaranteed. Great filming too.

[@easttexan2933]

Outstanding !! Love your videos (productions) so much. I still think you and Dad should upgrade to a 182. So much more airplane.

[@onfin3al6]

A friend of mine had a very nice 172 , he wanted to take a trip , so we did . We left Orlando Exec. and worked our way to ElPaso . He wanted to go on , I told him no . We were flying over mountains in Jan. at night , not me . The next morning we made our way to messa Ari . Very nice trip . next day went to the grand canyon . Returned the next day to El Paso again . The weather was good . about 60 miles out we went IFR on top and it was getting dark , no problem but I got a bunch of IFR actual , kinda fun really . So long trips in a 172 is ok .

[@foodflights1408]

I flew my plane from Sandpoint, Idaho to San Antonio when I moved back to Texas and it has been by far my most rewarding and memorable flight experience. So far. You captured the wonder of it perfectly. Thank you for that.

[@jmhub1979]

The only thing that sucks is the 15 minutes flew by.

[@Parr4theCourse]

Great sunrise flight...We need to do more of them!!!

[@meganryan3316]

Great to see 80991 back in action! 👍🏻

[@HawkeyeFan]

After some really long nights flying in Afghanistan I always looked forward to the sun coming over the ridge and flipping up the NVGs. For a brief moment you could even say it was beautiful.

[@FatherTech]

Always love your videos. You passion really shows through and has for all the years I have been watching you. It is shared by many of us, your fans, fellow aviators, and those of us who one day wish to join GA. Hope you continue to make videos for years to come. Thanks for sharing.

[@HWingsAviation]

I've had the chance to fly with friends on sunset then sunrise in the same week above the Pyrénées in southern France, it really is georgous, and keep in mind that you can experience it even during aeronautical day, you don't necessarely need a night training to do that ! Mind you, you still need to respect the local sunrise time

[@dudleydr1]

Great video, to watch and for inspiration.

[@challenger2ultralightadventure]

Love the Otto Pilot Pillow! Made me laugh the moment I saw it. I agree with you, that if you have not seen Airplane, the movie, you need to. So many jokes that have are now common place references and become part of aviation. Cheers from Winnipeg.

[@richarddorman3689]

I grew up as the son of a milkman, often getting up at 3:00 am to help him deliver milk. Few people experience the beauty and joy of watching a new day being born. Your footage was gorgeous, Josh, and reminded me of my past experiences. Thanks for sharing.

[@bagels377]

Nothings better than flying super early. At my flight school, there were tons of students so the practice area was always full of radio calls. Nobody wants to fly at 6am so i usually went up then. Silence and a beautiful sunrise!

[@phshon]

Your enthusiasm is contagious and enjoyable. Thanks for the vid.

Im frontal Mexico and your videos are very good, I learn english listening and seeing your videos!

Flight planning is daunting at first. Especially, with nothing but paper. There is a lot of information. After a few flights planned, it becomes second nature. I did all paper while getting my private. By the time I got weather, picked my route and points, did the calculations, filed, briefed, and pre-flighted it took about 1.5 hours. The only thing I would ding most schools for is handing students the info on a silver platter (clipboard or folder). Students should go out and find all the info themselves a few times. If you can't name the sections in your POH by title and number, then I would highly recommend getting very familiar with it. In the POH, you will find info that foreflight will not have, such as floor loading maximums. Questions that could be asked in your oral or even a ramp check. I was asked about floor loading and even POH procedures on failed start attempts in an oral. Everything in there is fair game.

[@belindabaxter2746]

I love the co pilot

[@mhdyzn6028]

Nice video..thanks for all the inspiration and motivation.

[@garywilliams9678]

Another outstanding video Josh. I agree solo long X-country is the best. Flew Albuquerque to Oshkosh this year. Left at 4am watched the sun rise and kept on flying all the way to OSH in one day and 4 stops over 1000 miles. I plan my trips exactly the same way. Point A-Point B then use the ruler at 350 miles and start looking for airports. Every trip I have to take for work I always have the option for commercial but take an extra day on both ends and try to fly N734DV C172/180 every chance I get. Keep up the great work. Headed out to Las Vegas NV via Page AZ in Jan. with a stop at Marble Canyon just because you showed us what a kool little place it was and the breakfast sounds outstanding. Fly safe young man and keep the videos coming. Happy Holiday.

[@TheFlyingReporter]

Amazing sunrise views Josh. Great flight.

[@MrKeithw124]

Love your videos. It has inspired me to fly again. i trained in New Braunfels 8 years ago then stopped flying about 3 years ago. I still live in San Antonio Area. your videos have given me the itch to fly again. thanks for sharing your experiences.

Yes definitely need flight planning video from start to finish with tools to use all on it own. Trying to compare with trucking and since am doing ppl next year need to know what am up against

[@chris.D1]

Nice video (as always), Last May, I purchased my Piper 160 that was parked at Hooks and flew it back to Bartow FL. With a CFI I had met the day before there. (My CFI was unable to make the trip at the last minute). We flew a little further north than you did, but was a great trip, especially for a new pilot with only 25 hours.

[@tcpoole1361]

Thanks Josh

Yes! 991's Back

Who says you have to get up early to enjoy the sunrise? My day is getting up as the sun is setting and the best is falling asleep after seeing the sunrise

[@prestonmiller9552]

Josh this video hits a grand slam home run with that sunrise. Being in Houston we do get some amazing sunrises and sunsets here in Southeast Texas. Flying over that swamp land reminded me of the boys on "Swamp People", one of my favorite TV shows. Looking forward to your next video. Thanks for all you do for General aviation.

[@omarabdelkarim674]

Started watching you since I was 13, now I’m 20 and a multi engine commercial pilot working on my CFI and I just realized my “1 1 thousand..2 1 thousand..” flap call out has been from watching your videos. Same goes for “heels on the floor full power” 😂

[@unclefreddy2009]

Great video. Trying to plan a coast to coast trip for this summer Boston to Los Angeles in my Cherokee. Multi leg and Covid and weather make it a challenge to plan all the segments. This gives me a little kick

[@skydvrboy]

[@mianatwood]

Sunrises are a lot better than sunsets! You start your day off with a beautiful sunrise and your whole day is just amazing, sunrise tend to be a lot quieter than sunsets too, especially here in the freaking Bay Area 🤦‍♂️🥺

[@andrewarmstrong7310]

Great Video! Glad to see 991 back at it, and I know you are too! Be sure to move Otto a little bit side to side ever so often, he gets really bored staring straight ahead all day and night.

[@Klaatu-ij9uz]

A cleaver idea of having a little "second-in-command" pillow pilot along for the ride. On long flights it keeps you from talking to yourself.....sort of. Then again, speaking to 178,000 subscribers helps, too. Merry Christmas and a blessed 2020.

classy landing sir

[@paulsworld07]

I attempted to learn to fly albeit a bit late in life. In my 1.3 hours of time from January of 2019 I learned a few things about myself in the air. I felt overwhelmed at what was going on in the cockpit and my landings were atrocious. I quit flying right after my first attempt. I had a capable aircraft with a very patient and capable instructor. Watching these videos makes me want to put my fears aside and get back in the seat. I'm better than just 1.3 hours I'm sure.

[@andystevens3475]

Get back at it. I'm 50 and took my first lessons in 1988 and did the same thing. You'll find plenty of help on youtube. This channel, Finer Points, Cyndy Hollman, Friendly Skies, Flight Chops, etc. I'm almost to my PPL and while I still spook myself a bit, I'm making it. Ask your instructor what you'll do while you're out so you can do some homework...that helps for me.

[@paulsworld07]

Thanks Andy
