Return Flight From Oshkosh/Scaring Jaime

[@deanwest7623]

My dad ran the tanks dry all the time. He did it once and filled a emergency into kpdt before he realized what was going on. Scared the hell out of me first time that I experienced that feeling. We lost the turbo a couple of times in the Duke that we had

[@meridianpilot9813]

Port A is fun to fly into. Jay does a great job!

[@310Pilot]

That's what I hear...going to have to do it one day!

[@Gilles45]

"That was fun, wasn't it?" Answer : No! Jamie is 100% genuine... 🙂

[@310Pilot]

Ha ha...yeah she is. :)

[@marcustracy9859]

Homie, you got me all messed up! Just stumbled across one of you videos. Now subbed for life. My next door neighbor had a 310 and started a club called Cessna 310 Owners of America. Got to fly in it a couple times as a youngster, taking the yoke at 180+knts was something none of my friends had done, and a memory I will always have! Keep the videos coming!

[@UAPJedi]

I thought those were big earrings on Jamie, it’s her earphones lol

[@310Pilot]

Yeah, she loves those headsets as she's not a fan of the clamp style very much. Does look like big hoops sometimes. :)

[@R2robot]

Watched the whole video and it never occurred to me that those were anything but earrings. Had to go back and watch a bit after reading this. lol

[@ajaybajaj9596]

@@310Pilot Hi Kevin What headsets Jamie Use?

[@johnbolin7098]

The C310 looks fast even when parked. Built models of the 310 as a kid. Kevin, you clearly fly your plane like you own it. Jamie handles the radio like a pro. Impressive team in the cockpit. The C172 I fly is nice for sure, but I've always wished to fly in a 310 some day. Is that a Georgia hat ? I lived in Athens for 5 years. Go Dawgs !

[@310Pilot]

Thank you for the nice comment John! I learned to fly at Athens airport in 152's while at UGA. Go Dawgs! Went to high school just south of there in Oconee County...miss the area.

[@douglasrodrigues332]

"Got your ears up" is CB language and doesn't belong in aviation. The defroster air comes out of the gasoline heater which could be turn on immediately, even if the engines aren't running...unless Cessna changed the heating system since I flew one years ago.

[@johnbolin7098]

Man, what a small world ! I lived just down the road from that airport in Green Acres, by Cedar Shoals High. Use to sit and watch airplanes takeoff and land for hours. Also lived in Peoria as a kid. Lastly, it's a pleasure to see how kind you and Jamie are with each other. My wife and I too are best friends. Safe travels !

[@vikramyelugoti7828]

I wish to travel with you guys

I lost my father B-52 H 2 months ago..Minot AFB..This helps me your channel :)

[@chuckmartin5773]

Forward facing camera is awesome, great clarity and nice wide view! Thanks for the ride, enjoyed it as always!

[@310Pilot]

Awesome...thank you Chuck!

[@mikejw58]

Can’t agree more 👍

[@Astp9999]

Really enjoying your videos! My husband is an Army fixed wing pilot (and Georgia boy as well) wanting to get a plane, but just the thought scares me to death lol Seeing you and your wife fly gives me a little better idea of what it might be like and made it a little less scary ;) Thanks!

[@KClife9]

What do you guys do for a living? J/w you have nice plane and car plus always flying and that's not cheap.

[@310Pilot]

We tell pilots what to do. :) ATC

[@rynetreatch9558]

We were camping in the EAA campground for that storm. We ended up sleeping in the car because of the severe thunderstorm warning! Great videos and I love the plane. I did my multi training in a ‘64 310I, great airplane! Glad I found your channel!

[@tstanley01]

Damn that 310 is a sexy beast. I read your post on POA a few below mine regarding twins vs HP singles. I think our mindset was exactly the same. Singles don't compare and SETP are 5 times the price. Light twins really are the best bang for the buck. Those Cirrus humpers that spend 900K on an inferior airplane then brag about how smart they are will never know the joy of having two screws spinning on their wings...How scared do you think your wife would have been if you had run the tank dry in a single....LOL

[@310Pilot]

Thanks Justin...I agree! Given my budget, I got the fastest, safest and most capable plane I could. If I was in a much much much higher income bracket I'd love a TBM or PC12. :) Cirrus's are great airplanes but I just couldn't spend the money on one. I'd take that same money (if I had it) and have a 310, Cessna 180 and Pitts with lot's of money left over.

[@jerrybeaver9212]

Never a dull moment huh Kevin,glad y'all made it safe......oh yeah, start time changed from 7:15 to 12 :00 for the game on Sat.. Go Dawgs -Jerry

[@310Pilot]

Funny you mention it...my next flight I'm trying to start editing now has a pretty interesting approach in it as well. Looking forward to the dull flights again. :) Go Dawgs!

[@lowandslow]

The thing you need to understand, they do not want GA aircraft flying in to Oshkosh. They do not want most exhibition aircraft flying in to Oshkosh. They chased out most the antique/classic and homebuilts long ago, they do not want people flying in. They'll tell a good story about how they're working on it but we've been hearing the same story for decades. They want it to be the Paris Airshow not a gathering of airplanes. If they could find a way to separate the money from the people without the people, they would do that.

[@pslny]

Scaring Jamie??? I think it's time for Jamie to become a real co-pilot and work on that PPL, she's got the radio down. Nice job. Paul

[@310Pilot]

Glad you enjoyed it Paul...I like her on the radios and me on the controls...I'll stop scaring her. :)

[@romiemiller3093]

Aransas Pass. Don't ask me why it's called "pass" when it is a port. Go figure. I used to work out of there about 40 years ago.

Anybody else wish they would've cleared the windshield off

[@bigdog8891]

No

[@toobad3029]

Yes.

[@bobfromfargo8026]

Maybe

[@310Pilot]

I knew there would be at least one comment on this when I was editing it. The cameras always make the visibility look a bit worse than actuality (whether it is clouds, haze or in this case water). I could see the taxiway well enough to be safe and knew on takeoff it would clear up quickly. Sorry for giving you guys a restricted view in the beginning.

[@toobad3029]

No one believes that you were not being safe. I actually enjoy watching you go down the taxi way and then taking off. That is my favorite part.

[@kylekendall1587]

How do you enjoy the dual Garmin for HSI and artificial horizon? they look like they provide great info combined together.

[@310Pilot]

Loving them Kyle...especially combined together!

[@JustPlaneSilly]

What camera are you using for the view out the front (ceiling mounted one)? I've been drinking and I am on amazon in the GoPro aIsle. Hope you guys are doing well. Hope to catch up w/ you at KY part 2. Let's ride the beacon and do some formation flying!!

[@310Pilot]

Hey Bryan, sorry for the late reply...was working late last night. Drinking and amazoning would have been more fun. :) The forward facing camera is the GoPro Hero5 Black. Works really well for picture/stability/etc. Things are going well. We were hoping to see ya'll at Gaston's again this year but not sure if we'll be able to swing it or not unfortunately. I really enjoyed that last year. E sent me the dates for KY2 and I have that reserved for time off next year...if I don't see you around somewhere before then. Formation flying and riding the beacon will happen this year!

[@Dr.G]

Holy cow, you're like me.. answering every comment. Woah... lots of work. Anyway the moment I saw the opening shot, I thought... THAT SUCKS.... LOL. I feel so bad you guys got stuck out there. That storm was craaaaazzzzy... I just opened the door for a moment to watch the lightening show and went back into my warm and dry rented, air conditioned, trailer in the warbirds camping. Hahah, I'm bragging because this is the first year I actually splurged and didn't stay in the dorms. Well worth it. BTW KZbin is helping you out... this video was put right in front of my face.. and I'm glad it was. Great video and a beautiful plane. Just a fantastic machine. Only one problem with what I'm seeing, (or what I'm not seeing) No mountains.... I'm from California and am used to lots of beautiful mountains to fly over. Let me show you some mountain flying... I'm not going to put a link because youtube doesn't always like them in the comments, but click on my icon and then click on the video that says gold mining. I guarantee you won't be disappointed. See you next year at OSH... thanks again for sharing.

[@Thegoodkids4000]

I like how you verbalize throttles full power MAKING full power. I got into a situation not long ago heavy plane just a 172 but heavy hot high 9000' DA field. Every number was carefully calculated under max weight within W&B etc after 3 aborted takeoffs last one much scarier than I like to admit rented a car did what we had to went back the next day pretty similar conditions only just me in the plane this time and I didnt realize it then but watching your videos now even with the mixture leaned for max power and full throttle i was only reaching the bottom end of the green power arc. That's a good call out and check to make that I think often gets overlooked but is a big one, everyone just rattles off gauges green and off they go BUT just because the throttle is fire walled doesnt always mean youre ACTUALLY making full power and you end up sliding to a stop on the last inch of remaining runway like we did.

[@182markt]

She shoulden't feel so nervous/scared given she has the state-of-the-art ejection seat parachute system like the military fighters w/ the twin pull to deploy grips...oh....oh geeze! I guess those are "hoop" earrings...lol! just kidden.

Ha ha...actually that is the tubes going to the ear pieces on her headsets. They look like hoop earrings. :)

Yeah -- you guys and the videos are great. Your demeanor as a pilot and as a husband are inspiring to me as a dude, and the same can be said about Jaime as a person. I read a comment that mentioned how clean everything is (as in language), and come to think of it that is pretty refreshing. On top of that, great video, commentary, and audio. High IQ all the way around -- Thanks!

Kevin I flew into Oshkosh a few years ago to the seaplane base. We Slept in a tent there and had one of their famous rain storms overnight. Being a cub not much baggage. So we ad sleeping bags on foam pad. When the water poured over the door sill of the tent it was a very cold night. Great times.

[@mikofoodmoto8745]

is Jaime a pilot too or..?

Explain why you land with power to touchdown in your 310 please. Seems like you use a lot of runway on your roll outs

[@squid0013]

Us locals call it port A.

[@stephendidomenico1849]

Always enjoyable watching you two work so well together. Having flown 310's in the past I had to smile at the dutch roll mode being excited on your approach to landing with a little turbulence (yaw damper off). You are probably doing this, but if not, I found keeping both feet with slight pressure on the rudder pedals tended to dampen this tendency.

[@murphyj7683]

Got a little aeronautical on final, and you have the audacity to complain about the landing? Well done. Yet another fun flight.

[@tubehound69]

I used to fly 401s and 402s overnight and full of checks before the debit card phased out checks. Anyway, I forgot to switch back to the tip tanks and ran a main tank dry a time or two. Nothing like some engine sputtering and sudden yaw to get your attention. At 3am and hour 12 of the duty day it worked much better than coffee at perking you back up.

[@SmittySmithsonite]

I got to go up in a '76 Cessna 172 a couple weekends back - first time up in 34+ years! You won't hear me picking on Jamie for being scared - been so long since I've flown, it was like I never had before. I was pretty nerved up when we first left the ground - it's so unnatural! My brain was saying, "THIS SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING!" hahaha! A Got used to it eventually. It was my wife's VERY first time up in a fixed wing (I talked her into a helicopter sight-seeing ride over Niagra Falls 17 years ago - that was AMAZING!!). She had this nervous laughter going on as we left ground effect - wish I could've caught that on film. BEAUTIFUL sight of the sun shining through distant clouds on the horizon - there were all these beams of light coming down, like God Himself was guiding us along. It was absolutely AMAZING!! The view of the ground from 1,500 feet is something I don't get to see very often - the cars looked fake down below, like little Matchbox cars, hahaha! Was really strange, and cool at the same time. Sure wish I had more opportunities to get up there, but I'll take what I can get! Great video! Always love flying with you guys virtually. Thanks Kevin & Jamie! 👍👍 🍻

Glad you enjoyed it and found it helpful!

[@edpotter4464]

Just an idea. After almost 10,000 hours in twin Cessnas I would switch to aux tanks at 10 minute intervals so they wouldn’t both run dry at the same time. Love your flying videos. I feel like I’m with you.

[@310Pilot]

Thanks for the suggestion Ed! I only have about 600 hours in them but sure do love them! I do the 5 minute split on selecting them and have tested them out several times. That seems to work well and I've never had to worry about them both running out at the same time. Maybe I'll re-think my sop.

[@TFEsandTipTanks]

Seeing this video, I completely agree with your thoughts on the logistics at OSH. Wx (and how it affected the planes travelling to OSH) made getting into the airport Sunday impossible, despite still being open to singles. The number of airplanes not flying the procedure was unreal, and it lead to some extensive holding, and being cut off numerous times. If its like that again, they're gonna start needing controllers at RIPON/Green Lake. Side note, Storm Force Tie Downs are also pretty great! We survived Stormpocalypse FLD 2018 no problem. Too bad the Shuttle cost us $181. :(

[@310Pilot]

I've heard the same stories as yours about the mess on Sunday...glad it wasn't bad when we went it. As we mentioned...I'm not a fan of the shuttle. I hope we can make it into OSH next year to stay!

[@ronvonbon]

ok I am new to watching your kool journeys. You kept me up all night with interest. I am a very nervous flyer especially when turbulence heebie jeebies me haha. Probably as I am skeered of heights. In fact certain times flying with you I would get sooo tense lol. You are an excellent pilot in my eyes. Always checking and double checking. Plus you seem very confident. Very cool having your wife or girlfriend with you. Do you ever fly anywhere on the airlines ?

[@310Pilot]

Glad to have you along Ron! I don't fly on the airlines much now days and take our 310 to travel. I will if it's too far or if the weather is bad and I need to get somewhere.

Did Jaime ever express an interest in becoming a pilot? She seems to be quite content handling the radios and you doing the flying. Always enjoy your videos. Glad you had a good time in Oshkosh!

[@randyporter3491]

Bob Thomason - I have about that much in a Baron. Watching this made me wish some was in a 310. I always loved the stance and look of a 310 with its tip tanks.

[@BobThomason-rht]

Randy Porter - The 310 is like a "muscle car" on takeoff for sure. I've owned a Seneca and a 310. Like the 310 feel much better.

[@BobThomason-rht]

Yep it happens. Especially when your brain is somewhere else. With a little altitude it's usually not a serious issue. Can be a little nerve racking to passengers though.

[@rafaucett]

Randy Porter : I'm not a pilot; just an aviation buff. The 310 has always been one of my favorite airplanes. Maybe that comes from watching Sky King on TV when I was a kid? :) The tip tanks just help make it look cool, IMHO. Kind of like a little mini Lockheed Constellation L-1049 "Super G" with tip tanks. :)

She of course is not ATC either, but I am sure she could do it. Jamie talking to controllers is helping her realize she can do it.

Hey Spiro! Hopefully they get a little better on the parking there. I'm not pretending that controlling that isn't a logistical nightmare but I think they could improve a bit. It was a blast and that is the most important thing.

She didn't seam to happy about your idea of running out of gas in the aux tank. To funny, my brother did the same thing years ago when we were on a family trip from KY to Texas and we were in the clouds, in a Cherokee 6 at 7K feet. I remember o so well.

[@310Pilot]

Ha ha...way more memorable if you do that in a single engine...things get a lot quieter!

[@newamiga]

I have flown into Fond du Lac the last couple years after having flown into OSH several times. It is a lot easier. I take an Uber to OSH and it is a lot better than taking the shuttle in my opinion. It costs more, but is easier.

Amelia's Landing is pretty cool. And yup, you pronounced Port Aransas right. Lol... I'm with Jaime on this one. I'd have been looking for a chute lol

We will have to go check it out Michael...only heard good things about it. No need for a chute with two engines! :)

[@johnsullivan8527]

I'm not a pilot. But I noticed that you run the left engine more lean than the right. Any particular reason for that? Older engine maybe?

[@310Pilot]

John, I actually run them with the same fuel flow. Each mixture lever is set up slightly different and my old round dial fuel gauge isn't very accurate. I have digital fuel flows on my engine monitor screen (hard to see from the cameras and I run them within a tenth of a gallon of each other. Hope this helps. :)

[@fuquasewing265]

Flying and camping 👍 awesome

[@RobertSababady]

Gotta admit that Jaime's expression on her face at 15:30 as Kevin rationalizes the process for flying to empty and then switching tanks, is one that says clearly "I am not impressed!"

I ALWAYS (not yelling just emphasizing) enjoy your videos! Just a pleasure to watch, no annoying background music blocking the radio coms, and your videos of your flights are always very relaxing and enjoyable! Even if Jaime got a little adrenaline jolt when the aux tank ran dry. Speaking of that, I asked a question about that in reply in another comment out of curiosity as I really couldnt tell what happened. I'm sure you'll find it. I probably should have read all the comments first in case it was already asked, if so, my apologies in advance! I'll read thru them. Its a shame you didn't get to park at oshkosh! They definately need to give a little more love to the twins! Safe flights to you always! PS: I recently downloaded the flightaware app to my phone, just for kicks, but find most of the pilots I care to follow block it. I guess its kind of creepy thinking of people being able to know when you take off and where youre going, like giving a stalker a tracking device for your vehicle lol just makes good sense for security! I still get a kick out of checking out whats flying over our home as we get a ton of traffic into and out of PDX plus lots of GA planes.

If Jaime couldn't feel her legs, her heart must have skipped a few beats!😱 mine probably would have stopped altogether!!!

[@310Pilot]

Ha ha...I should have told her ahead of time to expect that as a possibility. Semi-common with twin cessna's when burning all the gas out of the aux tanks.

Is it really possible too run into Another plane. Always enjoy Your videos.

[@310Pilot]

It's a big sky but midairs happen every now and then. It's always important to stay vigilant and use ATC or the new cockpit traffic tools to stay safe.

I live 30 minutes from Port A and I know Amelia's Landing Hotel well. Small world!

[@310Pilot]

Small world indeed...we need to come down to your part of it soon!

[@osu3221]

Feed it some power in that wind.

[@leeCann]

You guys always do a good job. Your take on parking issues at Oshkosh, then issues commuting; shows a different real side of THE BIG SHOW! Glad you enjoyed yourselves non the less

[@310Pilot]

Glad you enjoyed it Lee...thank you!

Thay had to be a big relief getting away from Oshkosh

I’ve owned a Q model over 18 years and have really enjoyed it. Use to scare passengers when I ran my aux tanks dry. I found that timing them to 38 minutes with an alarm burned the fuel down close enough and didn’t have to devote so much time to watching the gauges. Because of the way the fuel system works it didn’t make a difference what power settings I used. Your airplane seems a lot faster than mine...do you have larger engines than the IO470VO?

[@310Pilot]

Thank you Charles... a fellow 310 pilot who understands our fuel system! :) I've learned from the different twin cessna's that I've flown that they all pump out of the aux's at slightly different speeds. I usually do 1 hour but wanted to test the absolute limit. Turns out mine was 1 hour and 4 minutes. I have the same 470VO's...I purposely sought out one like this as they seem to last the longest without as many worries in 310's. Mine have about 450-500 hours on them and I recently O/H'ed the props. I usually true out at about 175 kts at 24-25 gph ROP. I can do LOP and save some gas but I prefer the speed. Thanks for your comment and for watching!

Piper Navajo/chieftain have similar fuel management too.

[@bartgoins1782]

@@310Pilot, okay I'm not a twin guy, so running tanks dry is new to me. In my Kitfox 5, if I run a tank dry, I'm looking for a place to land.

[@BrianGochnauer]

LOL . That was the same look my wife had when i ran my right tank dry. I forgot to tell her i was 'testing' the tank indicator.

[@310Pilot]

Think most non Cessna high-wing pilots have done it a few times in there life's. :)

If the tent is a rockin then don't come a knockin...

Windshield - You can’t reach any farther standing on the ground.

[@310Pilot]

I probably could have Kurt. I knew it would clean up right away and it wasn't as bad in the cockpit as the cameras made it seem. :)

[@Darren4352]

Great footage and presentation as always! I enjoyed the ride with you guys!

[@310Pilot]

Thank you...glad you're enjoying it Darren!
