I spend 4 months every year in Naples since 2003... You might want to look at the one of the most beautiful beaches, people watch, go for a walk, enjoy one of the many excellent restaurants, etc. If you are bored in Naples, good luck with the rest of the country. I won't give you my impressions of St. Louis, but a weekend was more than enough many years ago.

[@bobbygj1]

I enjoy your videos. I am retired corporate pilot myself mostly in Citations.Your videos bring back a lot of old memory's. Almost all of my time in the airplane, like yourself, was single pilot which included 501's, 550's, S550's and 560's. One airplane that I have seen you fly, N15JH, I flew for 5 years for a local oil company back in the 80's. It was N211DB in those days. Anyway, thanks for the videos.

[@paulnobleii4239]

That ghost ship is the company I fly for. I didn't realize we are in one of your videos. That is awesome 😅🙂

[@ismailmartinez8584]

captain Christmas shopping on Christmas day it seem to be normal.... it is the call of duty of flying that makes it different for you to a normal person.

[@captmoonbeam]

have a great Happy New Year Ismail.

[@ericlozen9631]

I always find myself now enjoying a cup of coffee when watching your VLOGS. Why is that I wonder... Lol.

[@jeffhubbard4688]

Got to love that. Walk out of a hotel in a town called Naples and jog straight into a scene from a Rousseau painting (minus tiger). And a red snapper sandwich too. America the exotic! Great vid. cheers.

[@khunopie9159]

I like how Citation XLS is embossed on the yoke so you'll never forget what you're flying. One of many reasons Cessna is awesome

[@nicktheav8r269]

That was a great shot of traffic passing under the wing

[@dmrcoyle1975]

Sir, thank you for the videos. I have been watching and enjoying them. Yesterday I lost a brother in blue with my department. Watching your videos has given me that little escape I needed over the last 30 or so hours. Like you said keep the brown side down and the blue side up and stay safe.

[@captmoonbeam]

Hi Danny. Thanks for watching and I'm sorry to hear about your loss. That's a tough job and it takes a special person to do it.

[@BEvans-sb3lp]

I’m just a lowly VFR PPL but these videos make me want to do more. Not necessarily Jets but just more. I’d like to have my commercial in 5 years. Gotta start working on my smooth pilot voice like you have! 👨🏽‍✈️

[@BenNstyle]

Just bored and revisiting older vids I may have missed. Enjoyed the view once breaking through the deck departing St Louis🌞!

[@mustang1191]

Your videos are getting better and better. Thank you.

[@purplesaxboy6290]

Nice shot at the end of the video. What a Beautiful Bird😊👍🏿

[@Visonista]

Dear Jim, a lovely video as always (well done). Thank you for showing the food you are eating - a bit of commentary when the food tastes good is also most welcome 😋. I especially enjoyed the spider's web shot at 14:55, the King Air capture at 16:35 as well as the shot when you were crossing in front of the aircraft at 19:12, all great stuff Jimbo! You're getting better and better. 👌 Wishing you and your family a Happy New Year and every blessing for 2018!

[@bobblack6816]

Thanks for knocking my home area of Naples and Marco Island! I have offered several times to take you to lunch and if I'd known I would have shown you why they call this Paradise! Done and out!

[@SRiggle56]

Mike seems like a great guy to share the cockpit with.

[@ismailmartinez8584]

Thank you...I promise I'll do my best

[@richschindler8731]

Good to see a video like this one every now and again. It shows people it’s not always fun and games while on the road. Sometimes it’s just plane, get it, plane, boring. You said you were going shopping, what did you buy me??? A Happy New Years to you and your family.

[@captmoonbeam]

I like that " just plane boring" I went with gift cards this year.

[@ekkehardg.9851]

Happy new year! Hope you and your family got a nice touch and go ;-) All the best! Tailwinds, blue skies....

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks and have a great 2018.

[@grantbartow13]

Naples Botanical garden is legit (not too expensive). The Local in Naples is super good. Snook Inn in Marco is a great spot as well.

[@mikecawood]

That magic moment when you reach Vr and all of a sudden the airfield drops away.

[@captmoonbeam]

No better way to start the day.

[@twagn]

Beautiful plane.

[@willezell3584]

Jim - you are my best KZbin find for 2017. Wishing you and your family a terrific and healthy 2018. Thanks for everything you do!

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks Will, that's very kind off you. Have a great 2018.

[@TVaughan667]

Very nice shot breaking out on top. Happy New Year to you and Mike.

[@smittysmith3227]

Ha! I put your video up on the big screen in the family room this morning Jim and I had to laugh the whole final approach into St Louis because Captain Nose was filling the right side of the big screen.🤣 Happy New Year to you & yous!

[@jasonburns6411]

Beautiful sights on your hike. Enjoyed the video sir.

[@BossaNossa1]

Yes the spider web was very pretty!

[@Hercules718]

😀Always enjoy your vlog. The red snapper sandwich was a good choice. Good to see you skip the chips and french fries too.

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks for watching.😀

[@billinga]

I visited Fish on Fire on 5 Dec while visiting Cessna Center (MCO). Had the snapper, spicy and good. Great video as usual. Stay safe!!

[@armstrongsecurity9238]

Awesome, I would say private jet!

[@brianb5594]

Jim, great video! Glad to hear the ATC calls.. :-) Good insight into the not so fun part of corporate flying. Maybe catch a movie the next time you have a long layover? Outside of the beach and vacation activities, you are right about not to much to do or see in Naples. Take care and Happy New Year!

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks Brian. You have a great year also.

[@michaelplesch]

Hi again! Your videos keep getting better and better and I really enjoy them Thank you so much for taking the time filming and editing. Don't forget if you are ever in Charleston, please contact me. Finally today it warmed to 70º 16º three days ago.

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks Michael. 70 sounds great.

[@robertfreeman4950]

Really enjoying your videos. Used to work on Navy jets (A-6 and F-4 and aircraft carriers) as an Aviation Ordnance Chief Petty Officer (22 years). So I am very interested in aviation videos. You post some well made and very interesting ones for sure. I do fly on XP11 for fun and try to learn what I can about flight and navigation just for my enjoyment so I find your videos great to bounce off of. Just subscribed so looking forward to watching some more. Thanks again for the postings. Well appreciated.

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks for watching Robert and I appreciate the subscription.

[@scotty11782]

Thanks captmoonbeam

[@tomseagraves]

Another great video Captain. I especially liked your Florida nature shots from your "off-road" walk. Happy New Year to you and keep the videos coming please.

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks Tom. Happy New Years and I'll do that.

[@couldabin]

Man shopping for Christmas before December 24th? I am sure it's just because you have plenty of other stuff to do. I hope you had a great Christmas. I wish you and yours all you wish for yourself and more in 2018!

[@Sycamoreguitarlessons]

Great video as usual! I bet I saw you at MCO. I work at the Citation center on the north ramp by Alpha. Would love to meet you one of these days.

[@floridaproductions]

Time to pick up another home,how about Tampa.I’m seeing a lot Florida flights guys.Take care and have a great New Years.Captain Noel United.......

[@italiano100]

Orlando! That’s where I live! Glad to have you in town!

[@captmoonbeam]

Hi Sal.

[@markdoyle8918]

naples is heaven

[@MarcusLeepapi]

Well, well, well, early morning flying....Well, happy New Years to you and your family...Please fly safe...

[@captmoonbeam]

thanks Marcus and you have a great New Year

[@MarcusLeepapi]

You too as well...As of today 12/31/2017 at 3:41pm

[@clintonandrews1538]

Hey Jim, I watched this video along with the video about gusty conditions into Holland Mich. That prompted me to drop you a note about my gusty flight into FLL. I have yet to have a smooth landing into that airport; maybe it is just my luck. Happy trails!

[@captmoonbeam]

thanks Clinton I'll go check it out.

[@clintonandrews1538]

Hey Jim, I don't do Patreon, but I would like to PayPal enough your way for a cup of coffee. Let me know how/where.

[@jeremycarter7888]

Finally got a chance to check it out! Great vid as always!

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks Jeremy.

[@chrisclark7248]

Love how its a 3 hour drive from Naples to Orlando but only a 30 minute flight

[@darickymeister]

I used to instruct at KAPF...miss that place...

[@captmoonbeam]

Nice place.

[@jeffreyvanderklip6769]

Let me know when your back for training, Mexican at Garabaldies on me..oh and Happy New Year.

[@duckydrummer6331]

Greetings from Kemah, TX. Really, REALLY enjoy your videos. I have to say that I am green with envy about your occupation. Seems glamorous from my point of view, but as with anything I suppose it might get a little tiring. Anyway, keep the show going!

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks Steve. It's fun but, it does have it's days

[@Jeff-sh4kx]

Another great video. Best flying videos on KZbin by far.

[@frankly1977]

Loved the shot of the dew beaded spider web. Hope you have a great New Year!

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks and have a great 2018 Frank.

[@AviationWorldwide]

Used to spend my vacations in Naples. Beautiful place

[@captmoonbeam]

Great beaches.

[@tb7452]

It would be awesome if you included a small clip explaining a system or part about the aircraft you're flying. :).

[@richardmackino6983]

You flew over my house on the way to MCO. Merry Christmas,Happy New yer to you.

[@captmoonbeam]

Have a great New Year

[@jspafford]

Used to live in Naples. Fly out of there all the time on my father’s company falcon 50 and hawkers. There is plenty to do there. Lots of good shopping. 5th Ave. Waterside shops. There’s a good car museum by the airport. Great theater on 5th Ave. Lots of good restaurants. Marco is boring.

[@captmoonbeam]

thanks for the info on that car museum.

[@jameswikstrom4174]

Enjoyed the video. I can imagine it must be hard to pass the time if you stay in one location too long but it goes with the territory. I love the smooth landings that you and Mike make as I am sure your passengers do likewise! Have A Happy New Year! We will pick up where you left off in 2018! C ya!!

[@erl1893]

Hopefully you went to Michelbob's for BBQ! I stopped by there on my way through Naples a few weeks ago with my student. It's good!

[@dennismassie3552]

All around me (KSRQ) this trip. Living my dreams through your vids. Hope all is well. Happy New Year 🎊.

[@darryldarling4880]

The outlet malls in Ft Myers would probably be a good place to buy presents if you are ever in Naples again around the holidays, its located just off of I 75 north at exit 123.

[@captmoonbeam]

thanks

[@rickyhildebrand114]

The first time I.ve seen you have a stay over for any length of time. Merry Christmas and happy New Year !

[@captmoonbeam]

Have a great New Year!

[@ChrisB257]

Enjoyable video again Jim - I do love that Citation. Impressive baggage area. Gorgeous once you got thru that initial cloud base. I can think of worse things than being 'stuck' in Naples for a few days, although seemingly not a whole lot to do.! That walk was pretty. Glad you avoided the snow - 3" here in PA! All very best for 2018.

[@captmoonbeam]

I'd still rather be there than in those single digit temps.

[@vegas005]

you are so positive...love these videos!

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks Fly and have a great New Year.

[@airwave2592]

Another good video! I’ll be visiting FlightSafety St.Louis for the first time next week! Getting ppc’d on the Legacy 500. Maybe we’ll see ya around haha

[@captmoonbeam]

Hi Airwave, hope you have a great experience there.

[@ralphwoodard609]

Thank you Jim for posting these videos. Here’s to you and your family have a wonderful new year.

[@truckertim2958]

I would have gone to the beach!

[@captmoonbeam]

We should have.

[@paytonhankins3124]

So good to see you flying back Into Naples! Im A local Spotter in Naples.

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks Payton.

[@nashguy207]

Wow Jim long trip. I can understand getting board. The red snapper sandwich looked delicious!!! I love red snapper. Thanks for sharing hope you had a good Christmas. Happy New Year and God Bless. Wish you a prosperous 2018!!!

[@captmoonbeam]

I think it comes from not wanting to spend much money and repeatedly going to the same places.

[@graysono]

Happy new year to you all Captain from me down here in Middle Earth!

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks and you have a great New Year also.

[@rayrayy5444]

Wishing you and your family a Very Happy New Year…..Looking forward to new video’s in 2018…Keep up teh great work.

[@sianne1630]

Thank you for your VLOGS this year, hope you had a wonderful Christmas. Best wishes for the New Year and looking forward to more well structured and interesting VLOGS in 2018. HAPPY NEW YEAR!

[@slow5203]

Your best video yet!

[@knarfyproductions8689]

Love your videos. Hope you and your family had a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

[@Subgunman]

Hmmm, "ghost ship". Air America descendant? Have a Safe and Happy New Year!

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks.

[@SidestickPilot]

Definitely want to go more of the corporate side of flying but one thing for sure is it would be hard to enjoy long layovers in places with not much to do. All part of the job I guess.

[@captmoonbeam]

Yes it is.

[@mx1man]

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and your family

[@captmoonbeam]

have a great 2018 Aviate.

[@ionewingedangel1712]

Happy New year captainmoonbeam

[@doenjangstew4438]

Happy new year Capt!

[@jeremyswan1446]

Well my grades dropped for not taking practice test but most of what I'm missing is stuff we haven't gone over 66.7 Was low 70S well I have to restart ems school this summer got sick and missed to many days.

[@captmoonbeam]

It's a New Year a new start. Have a great Year Jeremy.

[@hectormuzquiz5277]

Thank you Captain for sharing your videos! Have a happy New Year!.

[@dispLock]

Happy New Year Captain. I love living your life thanks for sharing with us.

[@skyking4581]

Great videos. Enjoy watching you. I am a jet pilot as well but I am grounded since September with a medical issue. Your videos keep my head in the game. I should be cleared to fly end of January. Happy New Year - Sky King

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks Sky. Hope you get back soon.

[@jake2213b]

I just love the video of you flying over Florida. I know you said you want to save not spend. But they are a boat that will take you to Key West and back the same day or stay a day or two then go back. I wanted to do that trip for a few years but I am disable so it makes it very hard. Happy New Year and keep the videos coming.

[@captmoonbeam]

Every now and then for something really different, I'll spend the money but I try to remember I'm working.

[@320Scott]

Just missed you in Naples. I was there for vacation and was at KAPF doing some aviation geeking out about an hour before you landed. Happy New Year!

[@captmoonbeam]

have a great New Year Scott

[@richardkrentz7553]

Happy New Year Jim. Keep up the good work.

[@paulgarcia5684]

Hi Capt. Next time you do an explanation clip could you explain why the computer calls out "minimums" and what you do to compensate?

[@MarcusLeepapi]

Hehehehe, it is cold here in Chicago so yes I do miss Florida in general. Hehehehe!!! Take care...

[@captmoonbeam]

I think the cold is getting worse or I'm just getting more sensitive to it.

[@MarcusLeepapi]

Hehehehe... I hear you...I am trying to consider either Miami or LA as I get older.. Somewhere warmer in the winter time. Yes, now that I am in my 50's in age I am feeling it a lot....

[@crjsim]

Best wishes for you an family Capt, great video, thnx!

[@captmoonbeam]

thanks and the same to you and yours Adino

[@michae8jackson378]

I wish I had known you were in Orlando......I would have said hello!

[@captmoonbeam]

I wan't thinking, Sorry Michael.

[@wlflightlr]

Nice Video, on your walk it did look like you were headed in the jungle.. have a great new year!

[@captmoonbeam]

same for you, have a great one.

[@darryldarling4880]

Hey Captain Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all the best in the New Year. That Restaurant Fish on Fire I was told is incredible, unfortunately I didn't get a chance to eat there while I was living in Orlando and it's funny I only lived a few miles from there.

[@captmoonbeam]

Hi Darryl, have a great New Year

[@paulwhitear4983]

Great video again. Happy new year to you, your family and Mike.

[@captmoonbeam]

And to yours also Paul.

[@GaryMCurran]

Jim, I have a request for you. After being out of work for 20 months, I finally have a job, and I'm working for Honeywell Aerospace. The Excel should have the Primus 1000 system installed. Would it be possible to do a 'pre-passenger arrival' video of using the Primus system, the Flight Management Computer, Nav entry, cockpit displays, etc. I really would be interested in seeing that. Right now, I'm working on Commercial aviation, Boeing and AIrbus stuff, but I'd like to get a little idea of what Business aviation is doing, also. I don't know if you can do this or not, but I thought I'd ask. Thanks in advance.

[@captmoonbeam]

Hi Gary. I'm Going to try and work it in.

[@jelteagteresch]

Happy new year! Happy flying! Great vlog :-)

[@MrRem7600]

Love your video's mate, recently subscribed. I've noticed on the XLS your right engine oil pressure is always higher than the left. Why is that? Really appreciate the effort you put into making these, keep it up. Happy new year from down under :)

[@captmoonbeam]

We had some work done on the right engine That upped the pressure.

[@oliverokeeffe6379]

[@bob39434]

Happy New Year

[@captmoonbeam]

and a happy New Year to you also Bob.

[@cherifbar]

Red Snapper sandwich; hope there were no fish bones! BTW, have you ever flown any heavy iron like a DC10 or even a big corporate jet like the GV or Bombardier Global 6000?

[@captmoonbeam]

It was a great fish sandwich. The biggest airplane I've flown was a Gulfstream III.

[@devthefoxx]

Marco Island is my home town :)

[@captmoonbeam]

That's where we had lunch.

[@captmoonbeam]

I should have stayed. Too cold here.
