Premier 1 Driver goes International

[@uwekonnigsstaddt524]

Love that preflight check. Left aileron input: check. Right aileron input: check. Pitch up input; check. Stick shaker test; check. Stick kicker input; check. ANd yes, I love a wheel (Boeing) and not the control sticks (Airbus) unless of course, it is a Viper. Nice video and thanks for sharing. Be blessed in Him.

[@jimmyprat7376]

First time I watched this video I did not realize you flew over the "border wall" (13:00), this time I heard you say, "there's the border." Border wall does not look like much from the sky, just like the Great Pyramids of Egypt. Up close, they are both more impressive. Great video!

[@BoldrepublicRadioShow]

Letting us see the Garmin while having a view out the front was a nice touch. I had my eyes on both as you landed.

[@skycop56]

Very nice video. You get better and better at this video stuff. I fly a little Cessna and always smile when I hear the tires give a sweet little chirp on landing. First time I've ever heard it from a jet. Damn you're good. 👍😊

[@Rich206L]

There's an F16 fighter wing at ACY in Atlantic City and I used to love watching them do touch and goes. They would also practice "Strafing" us helicopters as we headed north from there along side their restricted training areas. All were very nice guys!

[@dalebraun5497]

I'm a recent subscriber and really enjoy your videos. I recently retired from the mechanical design side of Rockwell Collins and it is a pleasure to see our FMS and displays at work on your plane.

[@davekallaway7248]

Greg...a big howdy and thank you for getting me locked into watching your videos...most recently..it helped me pass the time while I got over Covid..keep ‘em coming..appreciate you featuring your flights!!

[@cyrouskhavari6301]

Thank you for making it possible for us to be a virtual part of your experience on this trips. I have only flown prop planes, as a freight pilot. So, this is a real treat for me. Your copilots that you choose to ride a long with you are very fortunate. We wish you safe trips in where ever you go.

[@kentreg1]

Beautiful video. As is common in the NAS today a very new controller there at ELP. At one point I heard the instructing controller correct the trainees heading. No disrespect to the trainee but hats off to the instructor for catching the error. Thanks for the window in window with the instruments, looks great!

[@MegaBuckBuck1]

Sad to say, they closed the centrifuge at Holloman several years ago. Still using one at Brooks AFB in San Antonio (training AF and Navy for now) and a new one was installed at Wright-Patt two years ago, but not yet operational. Thanks for posting!

[@GSRP7777]

Just wanted to say thank you for allowing me to live vicariously through your adventures. Im 52 but still have dreams of getting a GA license one day. Really enjoy the time you invest in these videos. Thank you......Fritz

[@chrishunt3749]

Zero Golf Mike radio check - loving the vids - from London England 👍🏼 - Out.

[@parker73711]

you often say i hope you all enjoy my videos...i do...you kinda for me put me somewhere ill never get to be (except a ride along)) i always wanted to be a pilot but was unable due to being born legally blind...i found your channel via another pilot channel and i enjoy...being an indy native i know where you are at!! thanks for the awesome videos...maybe one day i can go up or fly with someone and get to at least expierence riding in one of the front seats....thanks for sharing!!

[@charles17121]

Another SMOOTH LANDING ! As your ride said YOU made it look easy ! Clear Skies and Smooth Landing ! So much for Clear Skies !

[@Justin-kf5fy]

Always a fascinating watch. Enjoy the ATC as an Air Traffic Controller here in the UK. Great to see your workload during different phases of flight in the Premier...looks a great aircraft.

[@denzildon9202]

Thank youCaptain I love the trips you take me on I try to do many with and I proud to say I fit with you. Greg there are so many things I would like to ask but not possible it would drive you crazy. Thank you for including us in you travels.

[@marvinbrooks2601]

Another great video once again. Never a dull moment.

[@flyifri]

What a day.. ! Appreciate the ride..Thank you very much...

[@tomhogue3921]

Cool seeing white sands -- Big brother flew in F -15 at Holloman afb -- enjoyed!! Thanks

[@anthonybarth9726]

You met my brother Fred hope to met someday not a pilot wish list fly with my brother when i can keep up the super videos stay safe tony

[@HAWK_Ben_G]

+Premier 1 Driver, Great camera angles! With each video I' m learning more and more! Thank you for taking the time and effort regarding your flight V-Logs. ~ Ben G. / NYC

[@michaelsauser1482]

while recovering from illness i watch your travels/ what a treat

[@gregmink]

I hope you are doing well!

[@Ok-551]

Such an amazing aircraft, the pilots pretty good too. :). Thanks for sharing.

[@clarencewiles963]

When I need to relax I goto one of your videos. You have some great followers that I always read the comments and pass on some thumbs up 👍

[@makiwa]

First of all thanks again for taking the time to produce another Video - appreciated. Couldn't quite make it out but you mentioned around 27:00 that you did Military Training, was that as in Air Force or Army? I was in Rhodesia pre-1980... Thanks. (Loved the clouds by the way!). (And the PiP at the end). And you always make it look easy...lol.

[@DM-pc4vs]

Love your videos. I always feel that I'm aboard, part of the experience; editing is excellent.

[@inspiredscreens]

Beautiful pictures. Thank you.

[@TimKollat]

31:00 beautiful shot of the clouds and sun with a flat horizon. sun looks like its nowhere near 93 million miles away in that view does it? beautiful shot nonetheless

[@danofzanzibar3924]

Used to fly gliders out of TYQ back before it was Executive and had the jet focus. Just had some T hangars and the run down shack FBO back then.

[@bigd-1-channel514]

Flew over Roswell, NM I see. Used to live there, Flew Pipers while there, Trained in a Cessna 150 Commuter, but the Cessna Center was closed when I lived there in the early 70's.

[@bwmcofc]

Just came across this earlier video and I lived in El Paso in the early 70's. Nice view of the boarder that I've never seen before

[@traceydeakin6055]

What no inflight catering! Was hoping for the arrival of new center cam! Trust your well/thanks for sharing... Best.

[@TJEscontrias]

This is so cool, I'm stationed in Fort Bliss, and have flown out of ELP a few times, pretty cool to see it from a different perspective.

[@bhollingsworth]

Thanks for another great video. So nice to see your videos again.

[@brianmcgee115]

love flying over West Texas, it's beautiful out there!

[@hatpeach1]

Woot... a new P1D video... so goofy how much I enjoy these trips, but thanks!

[@thatgirlmadge]

Love this experience. I am positive your flying skills make this look "easy." Dream of getting my pilots license.

[@geoffwiliams320]

Hi Greg, Really enjoy the channel, I called First Wing and left a message, i was coming to the state to fly for Expressjet but they have closed down now looking for other opportunities.

[@AndrewTubbiolo]

One day while flying IAH to TUS I saw two MiG-29s and two F-16s flying just South of WSMR.

[@dallaswilkerson912]

Another great video. I liked your split screen on final. Nice touch.

[@vvet7625]

Another great video. I made this trip (from KFWA) once in a Cheyenne 1. My trip was 12 hours and made for a very long day. If I remember correctly I had to shoot an ILS 5 approach to minimums at fwa. On those kind of days I let the aircraft do the approach. It's much better at it than I was.

[@manuelgutierrezayech8316]

Beautiful view of El Paso and Ciudad Juarez, I have a cousin who lives there! Thanks for your videos P1D.

[@mikedavis5397]

Thank you for the ride...looking forward to new paint. I wonder if Sureflight will feature 39GM on their website,,,,will be looking..smooth air buddy....🇺🇸👍

[@bigduke6444]

well im not a pilot but fly vicariously with you 1 thing im impressed with is how smooth your landings are... additionally im a nervious flyer but would feel comfortable

[@pbbrown1963]

Another fun ride. Thanks, Cappy.

[@michaelsauser1482]

what a beautiful jet and what is seemingly a docile bird--I know you are always well ahead of the ship

[@MarcusLeepapi]

Beautiful day flying... Nice!!!

[@hectormuzquiz5277]

Great video as always; atc audio was fine, but your comments where a little hard to understand. I did enjoy the flight!

[@MarcusLeepapi]

Looking very nice....Fly safe...

[@granskare]

your new lead area that shows your jet is great....thanks !

[@jahardin77]

Another great video. A little harder to hear you in this video, was something different on the mic? Do you ever miss military flying? I'm sure it's a little nostalgic flying past a base you trained at.

[@dennismassie3552]

As always , living my dream through your videos. Thanks Hope all is well . Watch out for the 👻

[@itisfinished58]

Seems like sometimes (13:30) when on autopilot the yoke moves, other times it doesn’t. Does it just depend on what AP functionality you are using?

[@seamusandpat]

I really enjoy watching your videos. So many flight videos have terrible over dubbed music that ruin the experience for me. Your visuals and sound are relaxing and informative for me. If I want to chill out for a while, I just watch one of your videos. Thanks for all the time and effort you put in for us all to enjoy.

[@robertrpenny]

OGM great flying and Reminds me of old Marty Robbins song esp. if intl means you wandered into Mex. Looks like PW has AT on late PT6s so TBM940, PC12 and KA350 etc. TBM 940 also has 'land me' button that allegedly will land plane at nearest field with eqpt. Your comment on this always much appreciated. BP

[@Hawkeye6936]

You mentioned F-117 @ Holloman AFB. All F-117's have been retired with the exception of a few swlwct jets which are not at Holloman. According to USAF, the F-117 was replaced by the F-22 until 2009 and now only hosts MQ-9 drones. Shame. I flew in and out of KHMN in C9-A's (DC-9-30's). Awesome snackbar !

[@shreddder999]

International? Ciudad Juárez? 5:19 Nice when it's not snowing or blowing! Used to live there. Wind tunnel. 41:19 Why not? Customs and ATF do it all the time! 48:32 Why leave the airstairs open in the rain?

[@janaaj1an889]

Flew down that fence for many miles in a 757 a year or two ago (San Diego to Dallas). Very long. Best trip anything flying from SD to Denver, esp. early in the day. Geology!

[@gregmink]

I like looking at that too!

[@jamescoker9545]

Enjoyed the flight! Thanks for taking us along.

[@michaelmitiszek1538]

I could see the iron curtain shortly after departure :-) You must have felt like in that old days when you were sitting in your Viper flying for the National Guard.

[@gdpramos]

Another awesome video! Reminds me of the time i flew a Premier!!! Good times!!!

[@ml66b]

I love your postings Sir. It's great to have such an insight and it's also nice to see so much passion and professionalism. I need to try and do do some stuff like this here in the UK but Railroad Locomotives aint so exciting!

[@patjparks]

Love the scenery and skills. I earned my private at ELP. Routinely were were vectored across the border. Soon after I progressed to my instrument training and we would be sternly advised by ATC not to cross the border. I never never understood the change in protocol. Was there a diplomatic complaint?

[@gregmink]

Good question...and I don't have the answer.

[@markmnorcal]

You can tell the passenger is a businessman by his mannerisms, he is eager to get to it on a intellectual level.

[@michaelsauser1482]

what a great pilot and aircraft performance /please keep it up

[@mrpeterharrison8379]

love the rays of sun through the cockpit at 1:12 :)

[@christiancormier7847]

Great video as always Greg! You are one bad man.

[@tearinitup022495]

Sweet video! Happy flying Greg!

[@bernie_hirsch]

Very good communications technique and wise judgement to circle with conflicting traffic (not to mention the slight tailwind component with wet pavement). Nice job! I enjoyed the virtual ride-a-long. Hope to have some real ones at some point.

[@Razorback68]

Great video!! Thanks for letting us tag along!! Looking forward to your next video!!

Thanks!

Do you use the polarized sunglasses? Or the non-polarized?

Yeah, it was a pretty nice day.

[@MarcusLeepapi]

That was a good flight thank you for the video.

[@johnkeim3836]

Really enjoy your videos great camera work, and very informative.

[@11begood31]

Thanks sure like flying with you loads of interesting visuals

[@AndrewTubbiolo]

How is it that you can overfly Mexico with no issues? When I make a turn South out of KTUS when flying VFR departure calls me to ask my intentions because I'm headed toward an ADIZ (Which is the border).

[@davidbrugman2171]

Beautiful flight!

[@gregmink]

Thanks a lot!

[@curtisccr]

Greg, was something up with your intercom? Could hear you fine when your on the PTT, but your other conversation sounded like it was coming in though a camera mic rather than a cabled connection. Great trip. Always enjoy flying with you on my big screen. :)

[@donaldmackinnon2984]

the break there was some one in the co-pilot seat. His presence was never explained.

[@denisgoulet4234]

thx 4 the info on right seat occupant

[@shawndavis9349]

you might of already answered this.... what are those things on the underside of the wing facing forward?

loving the videos. Good man. Really good.

Nice, also thanks for sharing the route of flight!

Hey man! i love your videos and hope to become as successful as you someday! im 17 and i have my PPL checkride in a few weeks! i dont see it but if your ever in Oklahoma let me know! it would be so cool to see 0GM in person

[@kirtusmiller5608]

DUDE ! Love your videos and I think you should explain more on what your doing and y you are doing it! Happy Landing"s

[@pilote0175]

I'm french I love your air plane end your fligh in brechfast premier good vidéo +1 like end subscribbe

[@denisgoulet4234]

Just curious. Who is allowed to sit in front with the pilot ?

[@gregmink]

Anyone who can fit up there really. I don't mind having somebody up there as long as they keep their hands to themselves!

[@dichesari]

beautiful video again mr Gregg. A couple of things....your voice was kind of low volume most of the flight. Also I have read that your plane cruises at 400 and some knots, but you never reach those speeds, why? and finally one more question and excuse my ignorance on the matter.... why on the radio sometimes you say things like going on kilo or java etc? thank you very much and please keep your EXCELLENT videos coming but don't cut them so much. Will love to see the full flight all the way until you get out of the plane. Thank you again

[@TonyP9279]

For the last question, it's the NATO phonetic alphabet - used by the military and aviation for pronouncing all letters A-Z. Taxiways are denoted by letters, so is the version of ATIS which is weather and terminal information.

[@gregmink]

Yeah, I agree on the audio. Last time I turned down the ATC all the viewers got mad at me so now I just keep talking and leave it at that. I assume you are referring to the indicated airspeed not going 400. The true airspeed at altitude is generally around 445 knots. Do a google search for the difference between indicated airspeed and true airspeed.

[@r0tb3rt]

As usual a perfect video! Any hints to the tech equipment you use? Would like to make a video with in flight audio myself. :)

[@benritter7523]

Just a curious question about control of the aircraft while taxiiing. I've only flown Cessna 172's and I was always taught to maintain a certain configuration of the control surfaces, depending on the direction of the wind, to keep the aircraft stable during the taxi roll. In all the videos I've watched of you, I've noticed that you typically are hands-off on the yoke during taxi. Does wind just not affect the size of your aircraft like a 172, or why isn't it critical to deflect the control surfaces in the Premier? Awesome videos by the way and thank you for sharing them. Haven't flown for 20 years but hope to get back too it in the near future.

[@gregmink]

Wind does impact the plane while taxing, but it has to be a pretty significant wind. A 172 may get pushed around by a 15 knot wind, the Premier doesn't even budge with that kind of velocity. Thanks for watching!

[@donaldhill2972]

Good flying!

[@neildavis5509]

Great vids, they are so damn addictive, lol.

[@Sypio1]

Great video...
