SHE IS A COOL CO-PILOT - Flying the KODIAK to Sun N Fun!

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

I fly the Kodiak every day and love it. That one looks a bit more luxurious than mine though. 😋

[@rkmacdonald]

Mindy is one of the best I’ve heard on the radio, and I’ve been flying for over 40 years!

[@fingerhorn4]

...except "in the box" is a tired old cliche and might appear "cool" to some but it is a silly euphemism.

[@aljackson8292]

[@jemand8462]

Easy: she’s one girl in 1000 men and she does this for a living working for Cessna. You could say that about 80% of men, too

[@BobSmith-uu5kj]

It is better but unfortunately, standard ICAO phraseology is poorly used. Example, we don t say ready to go to a tower but holding point rwy xx ready for departure.

[@waholoopesorry74]

Let's not overexaggerate it... it wasn't any different than what I usually hear

[@44jonest]

Mindy is outstanding on the radios! As a retired Textron guy, I’m pleased that she is with the company

[@fastsandpops]

Mindy is a boss on the radio!

[@viniciusfaria5918]

Hello Steveo1kinevo, I am from Brazil and had the opportunity to meet you at the 2018 Sun'nFun (Saturday, April 14th - ForeFlight Display). Thank you very much for the attention and courtesy... It was such an incredible experience being with you! Very best regards!

[@jameswikstrom4174]

You had one of the best Co-Pilot's in the business handling the radio. She responded to every call without hesitation. I hope both of you had a great time at Sun N' Fun. I saw several videos and it looked like a great event for a pilot to attend.I am still in love with the Cirrus Vision Jet. It just looks so cool and single pilot operated!

[@goliteyourworld6]

It's relaxing to listen to Mindy work those radios. Great job!

[@wardschuler9044]

Great pilot too along with beauty & brains = a co-pilot that makes flying with her type fun ….

[@MikeKobb]

Really enjoyed this one. Mindy is such a pro, great to listen to her radio work and pick up some tips.

[@stefandwoodham]

Mike Kobb are all you this 🌽?

[@krashd]

How is that corny? He was complimenting the woman on her radio etiquette, not saying "She has killer legs" or "She's stunning!" like the other bedroom dwellers here.

[@Spec62]

"Captain Mindy" is officially hooked, Steveo. Not only has she enjoyed the blue waters of the Bahamian islands, but you brought her along to Sun & Fun too! Nevermind her starting her own VLOG. I see her totally thrilling prospective aircraft owners to jump into a Cessna/Baron/Bonanza and see the thrill of flying in and out of Florida and the adjacent islands.

[@stuman1159]

The camera on the wing adds a great perspective.....

[@wingman358]

Steveo, I love hearing the explanations you give as you're flying (like the bypass function of the inertial separator). Super helpful to aspiring pilots like myself.

[@charlesv3962]

The Kodiak is a really cool plane, absolutely ideal for charters for the Bahamas and the Caribbean

[@bartowsanta6313]

It was great to meet you at Sun-n-Fun and shake your hand Saturday. I saw Mindy there but the crowd was too hectic to say hello to her. You and Flight Chops really draw a crowd.

[@pinebearclub]

Steevo, whatever you do, don’t let her go! She is such a wonderful person and is da bomb talking to ATC! She did so well! Way to go Mindy! Bryan from Vancouver

[@alinaross1008]

Don't let her go?

[@hoffer54]

You know like a prized possession LOL.

[@pegleg6977]

Mindy made this flight. I enjoyed her handling the radio and her pleasant voice talking to Steve. Please bring her on whenever she is available for a flight.

[@alex0589]

Pilot KZbin is one of the best KZbins. Flying through the clouds in HD, are you kidding me? I dont know anything about aviation but this is fun, that plane looks really good, plus, Mindy's radio work is accidental ASMR. Hopefully this will get more young people interested in flying. Cheers.

[@nsant]

Do a discovery flight for 100-150 bucks at an airport near you.

[@DevonKocevski1]

Came here to suggest the same! As soon as the wheels leave the ground, you'll know why it's awesome!

[@markstriby4941]

Love the camera mounted on the wing!

[@quinnjim]

She can teach Steveo how to talk on the radio. Very succinct. Short and to the point. Perfect.

[@JGalindo553]

Great video. Kudos to Steveo for encouraging Mindy to do a VLOG.

[@bryendelaurie1006]

Thank you for your service, Steve!And thank you for these videos. There are two main things I like about your videos: 1. I like when you're flying at maximum altitude. 2. I love your landings. You nail it everytime!

[@TheWindigomonster]

The kodiak looks like a flying bathtub, but it’s got the coolest engine startup noise of any airplane I’ve heard thus far

[@petercruz1688]

Been to Sun n Fun many times. My favorite part was always seeing Bob Hoover there. Legendary pilot. He'd be scary in a Kodiak or TBM. =)

[@scotty11782]

Thanks steveo1kinevo & mindy

[@drzadventures3512]

loved that flight co pilot great job on the radio love the wing camera

[@funkdunk]

The Kodiak is a beautiful airplane, Steve demonstrates it so nicely, its a worthy contender to consider

[@JohnS916]

Very competent co-pilot, her voice was clear and steady. Thanks again for the video, always enjoy them.

[@tjjoseph333]

Highly polished, uber competent, delightful speaking voice...yeah...needs her own channel.

[@DrVaneaton1]

When I'm having a bad day, watching Steveo always makes me smile. :)

[@fxpthl]

Very nice flight with lots of clouds to fly around! Mindy ROCKS!

[@SuperAirplanemaster]

Good evening Steveo my name is Keilyn a big time fan of your channel I want to say for making video like to show how cool and fun is in Aviation I like this video you posted is because it help show me how to work in Multi-Crew environment and how important is to have a fellow pilot with to help you fly the plane so keep up the good sir

[@robertsise7898]

As usual, a great video. The flying is spot on, however, you editing is first rate as well. Keep up the good work. I still can fly vicariously through these videos. Thank you.

[@jennyjzink]

Great job - hope you'll be doing more videos with Mindy. So much to learn from both of you.

[@dobos420]

Another awesome video wonderful flight thank you for taking me along peace out

[@MichaelLloyd]

Great video Steveo. Good to see Mindy again.

[@CrooklynPilot]

Great vid! Shout out to Mindy for the radio work. I wish I was that smooth on the radio.

[@YYChinook]

Really enjoyed the flight. The two of you work well together. Thanks

[@brenton5579]

Hey Steveo You've inspired me so much that I recently began embarking on the Private Pilot Route. I never imagined how much fun flying would be. Keep up the good work and God Speed

[@michaeljohn8905]

brenton Thornton good for you sir. Stick with it. It’s a long bumpy road but you will be happy you did. Good luck my friend.

[@brianb5594]

Very cool Steveo! The Kodiak is a sweet ride. Excellent radio work to Mindy as well! I hope to be there next year!

[@Starbucksdrinker]

Very very nice radio work by monitoring pilot...clear, precise, comprehensive! Thanks Steve!

[@penrynbigbird]

Every summer my wife and I camp in our RV near the Truckee CA. Airport. I use my handheld radio to listen to the communications with the tower. It's always refreshing to hear a woman's voice on the radio (both in the tower and in the air)…

[@mikercflyer7383]

If Mindy ever starts a vlog she has the master to learn from great video.

[@00peter000000]

I hit the Closed Caption to see if it could keep up with ATC chatter....hilarious results

[@HabuBeemer]

I had a chance to meet Captain Mindy at Oshkosh 2018. Exceptionally nice person! A real pleasure.

[@HondaGoldwingGL1800]

Another fun flight Steveo. Bumps were not bad and what little bit of rain you hit just did a quick wash of the plane. Fly safe my friend.

[@rickymccafferty7840]

Man, Mindy has mega confidence on the radio! She’s better than most of my coworkers in Law Enforcement, and the radio is our only lifeline for instant support!

[@awash-mg8ce]

Outstanding video and it was great to meet you Steveo

[@harpoon_bakery162]

Thanks for the great content, editing, and professionalism on your videos. Breath of fresh air.

[@traceydeakin6055]

That's a good one... Yep and Mindy's RT is great short and sweet. Well done Mindy

[@alancollins833]

I click the thumbs up button now before I watch the videos, always great stuff

[@tpittockful]

Thank you for another great flight. Hopefully next year I can make it over to Sun N Fun as this year I had to work in Orlando all week. Again, thank you for bringing my dreams to my computer.

[@casper6263]

As always, you do a great job flying . Really enjoyed !

[@gmk3]

Great video. Love Mindy's radio calls - so smooth and perfectly articulated.

[@erickstiner1668]

Great video of a truly fantastic airplane. Thank you for putting out this video.

[@maineguy1408]

Another entertaining and well done video Steveo -- and it was really nice meeting you at Sun 'n Fun! Wishing both you and Mindy safe and enjoyable flights this spring and summer and onward. Look me up if you ever make it to Maine -- I have a nice, 3000' gravel runway which would be perfect for the Kodiak! Take care, Andy

[@matthewbriggs4489]

I’m in the middle of my instrument training and it’s awesome to watch you guys fly IFR!

[@paulphibbs5362]

Great radio calls Mindy. You appear to be very organized. Great attributes for a professional pilot.

[@ontheside5942]

Love airplanes, never a pilot, only a crew chief back in the day. The new instruments are amazing. Really loved the video. Thanks.

[@glennbartlett416]

Ah that seemed such a well lush n smooth flight, all the sounds, command's and going ons - so interesting! What an experience flying is. That has got to be the quietest aircraft for sure

[@jonforkner8017]

Hey Pilot Mindy!!! FYI...you are a HERO to my daughter Samantha in Minnesota! She watches everything you do! Samantha wants to earn a commercial Pilots degree. Thank you for being a good Role Mode for my girl. You're doing more than you know. Blessings

[@richardvarner2802]

Enjoyed the flight, Steveo. It was really great. You are always such an easy-going pilot, and I enjoy watching your videos. Boy, Mindy is really good on the radio. She was a great co-pilot. Hope ya’ll had a great time at the event, and a safe flight home. That Kodiak is a beautiful aircraft. Thanks for sharing the video. Happy Flying, and Safe Landings.

[@lmenascojr]

Loved everything about this one, especially the Mindy addition! Great adventure guys & gals!

[@rhombus20]

My wife and I watched this video together and we both instantly thought that Mindy was your sister. We enjoyed seeing her on the flight and listening to her handle the radios!

[@lostinasia25]

Mindy did a excellent job as your copilot on this flight working the radios. Let the girl fly the plane next time. Always enjoy your videos. I'm looking forward to meeting both of you there at Oshkosh.

[@gregt04]

I'm a seasoned storm chaser all over Florida and I love your videos! I just wished you didn't skip the whole part of you dodging the storms! I love to try to match up the weather from your videos to what I see on the ground. Keep up the awesome work !

[@hugos6444]

I have not seen one of your videos for a while, got stuck on Iwona, first time solo flights, and professional women pilots. I am happy to see your videos again, always relaxing, and such a beautiful plane, ahemmm.....and Mindy! Great service you provide for us Steve, always professional.

[@acm_1985]

Great Aviation Vlog - and nice to see Mindy again !

[@howardschatan2064]

Love steveo1videos... Steve is a patient instructor.

[@TwistedTeaMe]

Great job handling Comms Mindy Like a Pro Another great clog Steveo

[@niceguy2171]

Nice flight up to the Sun n Fun, although those storms could have waited for another day. And it's a good thing you got in there early, as later it gets absolutely crazy flying into it, with planes spaced out like cars on the freeway! And for GA, landing on taxiways with sharp turns into the downwind..but it's always a great time there, even if I did miss this yrs. show. Capt. Mindy is a great rep for them, and she will do well if she does start her own channel. Starting to fall for those Kodiaks, as everything I hear about them is positive, and got to love that roominess.

[@flybyairplane3528]

niceguy217 actually a few years a tornado DID hit SUN & FUN, quite some damage there .

[@niceguy2171]

Yikes, glad I missed that one..and just what you don't want with planes/hangers/aviation equipment around!

[@AdamShaiken]

Excellent communication and radio skills...she has !

[@gunnarrohrscheib4660]

More than the video I was very impressed how Mindy handle the radio! Very professional 👍🏼

[@michaelm3881]

Love the Quest Kodiak! Great video! Capt. Mindy is a great pilot and very cute.

[@ianw3294]

Great video as usual steveo. Good to see you have kept your standards high with selection of your copilots! Mindy is great:)

[@prinzalbert5329]

You two make an excellent team. Well done.

[@gapster46]

Well, that was a nice relaxed approach and landing at Sun N Fun. You must have been an early arrival. It’s been years, but I flew into Arlington a few times during peak times on Saturday morning. There is No talking on the radio. Too much traffic for that. Fly to a big fire they have going a few miles from the airport, fly a certain heading from there and enter on a normal 45 to the pattern. Tower identifies aircraft as White Cessna, Red Piper and so on. Follow their instructions, no talking. It is quite the experience. At the time Arlington was the 3rd largest in the country behind Oshkosh and Sun N Fun. We always pitched a tent next to the aircraft along with thousands of others doing the same.

[@topgun8683]

You need to have Mindy in more of your videos, she's great on that radio !

[@greg_d]

LOL. Airventure is a 'little bit bigger' than Sun n Fun. That's the understatement of the year.

[@BenGeorgia]

First time with you... wonderful to tag along! Thank you 🙏

[@mikepazzree1340]

Thank you very much for another awesome video. Last night at bedtime I was thinking , gosh, I haven’t seen a new video of Steveo. Within hours my prayers were answered. He works in mysterious ways. Awesome CRM btw

[@tedybear915]

Beautiful plane, looking forward to Mindy's future YT channel.

[@KevenOmath2201]

Love the camera on the wing plus Mindy was great on the radio. Looking forward to seeing more of her.

[@adam_strachn]

Great video in my favorite plane. Saw you leaving SNF when everyone was bugging out; it’s hard to hide a Kodiak. Nice meeting you and your dad.

[@Heathfx5]

Just came here from the kodiak 900 intro video and holy cow that is one impressive bird. 210kts true at 10k msl or 10 hrs endurance if you fly slower, it looks like a caravan killer. I’d probably have a heart attack if I saw the price tag!

[@kevinpeterjones9712]

Great radio comm Mindy - you are the best!! Thanks to both of you for a great flight!! Kpj

[@johnbolin7098]

Enjoyed the video as always...was great to talk to you in person at the Foreflight and Bose booths on Saturday at Sun N Fun. Wife met you and Chops. Thought you guys were terrific with the crowd. Hope to see you again sometime at a meet up at Banyan !

[@sopilote56]

Great video on typical mid-day IFR flying at "low-levels" instead of flight levels in Florida!

[@michaelstern1945]

Great video love your intro’s. If Mindy starts vloging she has the best to learn from. Safe travels.

[@heavysighs]

I have been an Air Traffic Controller for 34 years at ZDC, and I have to agree, Mindy you are a natural! Super impressed with your radio skills! Any chance you want to become an Air Traffic Controller Mindy?!
