😱Pop up IFR to FLABOB Airport in SoCal✈️

[@NB-ky5ol]

Imagine my surprise when this pops up in my recommend. I used to live by FLABOB growing up. We used to have breakfast there. Crazy!

[@FLY8MA]

No way, that's awesome! It's a great area over there

[@stealhty1]

Great CRM, you guys nail it, love the pop up in actual IMC,Thx for share you Captain Expertise,,keep up the awesome work

[@FLY8MA]

Glad to have ya along for the ride!

Thumbs-Up Steph & Jon! Nice trip & flight! Don :-)

[@FLY8MA]

Thanks for following along with us!

[@TakeDeadAim]

30 years ago when I learned to fly...I learned that following the railroad or an interstate through the mountains usually will lead you through the lowest passes if all else fails.

[@richardweaver9682]

It's a long A for Flabob sorta like Fl ay bob... ir was named after tow former owners Flavio and Robert (Bob). The mountain on the otherside of the river from there is Mt. Rubidox (x is silent).. Welcome to Riverside.

[@poppabear9279]

FYI, I was born right there in Riverside and the house I grew up in was right there on the hill overlooking Riverside Airport. That airport apparently got much bigger in the 30 years I’ve been gone . Left there as a child, but saw my first emergency landing there on a GA aircraft who’s landing gear decided it didn’t want to poke out. It Endo’d itself right there on runway 27.

[@FLY8MA]

That's awesome, it's a great area!

[@poppabear9279]

FLY8MA sent you guys a FR on KZbin. Your place is right near an old friend of mine’s house is in Pahrump. He was a very well known talk radio host and personality. Flown into that area a number of times. Him and his wife were personal good friends of mine for a number of years. Sadly he passed away this last year, and his former wife, Ramona, was a total sweetheart. She passed away from an asthma attack a few years back. Miss Pahrump. The people there were very nice. When we went out to dinner with a well known celebrity in that city, everyone knew who we were, they knew this very famous man, his wife, and they knew me because I was advertised by name globally every night on Limbaugh, Hannity, etc. anyway, the people of Pahrump treated him with total respect and privacy. Realized that moment that everyone in that town were special, extremely nice and would only talk to you if you wanted them to talk to you. Anyways, you’ll see my req. it’s another name, initials CJ. Plan on following your channel, as I find the smaller, personal KZbin channels and what you guys do, to be far more entertaining and real world than other content which is highly edited. Too much editing and you lose the personal side. You are both so candid and I love it. Anyways, when I saw that bobble in thick IFR and the Attitude indicator in a bank, it made me clinch my butt cheeks lol. Surprised nobody caught that. Back on track, all good, nice spot. If you ever get out to NC and feel like running offshore chasing big tuna, look us up. Moved out here last year from California and absolutely loving it ! Cheers

Another great video. Nice work getting that pop up clearance. Well done!

By far my favorite video for a few reasons. I just found Jon on the "Why I Quite the Airlines" video and binged his entire series with Steph. Then when I finished, I followed them on IG and that very day is when they shot this episode. Riverside is my stomping grounds for my aviation training so it was cool hearing you, (celebrities) talking to Dan (Just an old ATC dude) and landing at Flabob. I'm jacked for the next episode because I grew up in Apple Valley and landed there the first time Yesterday. So it was wonderful seeing my hometown(s) in your productions.

[@FLY8MA]

Thanks for watching, and keep an eye out for the next episode! It'll be a good one!

Glad to have you along for the journey! Cheers!!

[@kevchilton908]

Another great vid Jon and Steph, thanks for sharing. As usual, shared with my mates this side of the pond!

[@FLY8MA]

We appreciate it!!

[@poppabear9279]

Wow, what an amazingly high like to dislike ratio. That’s why I love pilots and aviation enthusiasts. They’re kind, they respect, and they’re human. All of us who risk our lives throwing our bodies in metal tubes and hurling ourselves into the air, apparently have a greater appreciation for life, respect others and show human decency for each other . Great video, cheers!

Jon; Can you reccomend a low cost camera that I can suction cup in the cockpit for reviewing my instrument training flights? Hoping to stick a mic in my headset, and sucition cup camera to the dome light unless you have better idea?

Enjoying your adventures. Safe travels

[@watchfordpilot]

Great entertaining and educational video as always guys. Having seen the intro I was working out when i'd have done a 180 and scuttled away. I did start to breath again when you dropped out of IMC at 5000'. I've only uncounted icing once and that was in a glider! Cheers :)

[@frankszabo5309]

Great video ! I was stationed at March Air Force base back in the seventies and learned to fly at Flabob and got my private there. Was cool to see it again.

[@fly8ma.comflighttraining199]

Awesome little airport!

[@flyboy201010]

Great video. Is the iPad the primary navigation equipment in 62D? Is light to moderate rain being encountered in cloud at 29°F ok even for a few minutes? Thanks

[@Pwander208]

Bummed I missed you guys! My helitack fire crew has been prepositioned at Apple Valley the last few weeks. We have the UH60 Blackhawk parked outside, and our crew kind of took over the airport building :) Luckily the airport manager is very nice! Love your videos, and I’m beginning my ppl training in my off season back in Boise this winter!

[@FLY8MA]

Aw man, maybe next time! Good luck to you with your PPL!

Would have stopped to say hi if I had known you were coming through. I work here at Flabob (Flay-bob!) restoring and repairing tube& rag stuff. Dave Almy is a mutual friend.

[@kroot9966]

👋Newbie here. Part of my family is from Palms Springs, CA. I really am enjoying your outline of your videos and your new channel. I'm most inspired of you both doing this together. My boyfriend and I have been truck driving/owner operators for the last 3 years in a big rig. This, is way cooler. 😎🙂 Peace be with you both and safe travels to Florida. We r based out of Springfield, MO. I have family that just purchased their first plane, not sure what type.

Cheers to both of you!!

Was a student thinking about going back but the ATC communication appears very challenging and intimidating..especially if you find yourself in IFR conditions.. do you have courses dealing just with communication.. will be flying alone..:(

Hey guys, I also have a 170. I wanted to know what harness model your plane has. Thank you

Cool I been at Flabob so many times visiting my daughter at UCR

[@DLow302]

It was like nails on a chalkboard hearing you say Fla-bob the whole video instead of Flay-bob but you got it before the end and fully redeemed yourselves. Awesome video, Flabob is one of the best local untowered fields in the area.

Still funny seeing Jon on long sleeves and Steph with no sleeves!!! :-p .... still not used to weather below 80º?

[@rednkfn]

Love to see nice ATC's

[@loveplanes]

No, you are not flying the airplane. You are checking your text messages in your phone close enough to IFR conditions. Why she gets mad? Good advice John, the only urgent thing here is “fly the plane”! Actually John, you were very polite despite the circumstances.

[@REBooner30]

Carlos Quijano Couldn’t agree more! Made me uncomfortable just watching from the comfort of my home.

I follow river road is IFRR

[@mmpalmer1]

Not to be too picky but that was not even close to short final at Flabob.

[@daviddefelice6997]

I can’t believe she asked about the phone while hand-flying in ifr conditions. You should have let her text a response right before she augered into the ground. Try that on a check ride ?

[@richs4294]
