Hey Mindy! Cool belt. Flight plan is pretty easy…it’s direct! Doesn’t get any better than that. WHOA…a B-52! I have to say, that’s the busiest CTAF and uncontrolled airport AND there’s skydivers, WHAT!!! Oh my gosh, what a doozie! A doozie for real and you handled it like the professional you are. Enjoy your recurrent training and thanks for taking me along 🤗

I appreciate watching your channel Mindy, but watching these videos to me are always sort of frustrating and depressing knowing the costs of these high tech GA aircraft are priced out for the average American to fly--much less, own! I am a retired firefighter/paramedic/registered nurse and can't ever dream of being an owner of a GA (new or used) airplane! But hats off to you guys that have figured out a way in life to enjoy what only a handfull will ever be able to afford! Nothing personal!!!

Not sure if you noticed, but as you got close to DED, there was a bombing range off of your right wing. When the zone is “cold”, we fly over it. It’s creepy and apocalyptic. It has a mock airport, planes and a little village. Love your videos and your airmanship. I learn from you each video.

DeLand has always been insane. When I was at Riddle (93-97) we used DeLand, Ormond Beach, Flagler and New Smyrna as our primary training airports. I always preferred New Smyrna because Ormond could be just as crazy. I did my solo at Ormond so it has a special place in my heart. Great video though!

My father was in the USAF… SAC (Strategic Air Command) during the Cold War and I grew up around those bombers… my all time favorite aircraft. So this video was an extra special viewing pleasure for me. Thank you for the treat Mindy. Blessings, good health, success & prosperity.

I lived in Shreveport and Bossier City in '70s when it was not overpopulated and very cool. Now!... You said "you sold the plane". Are you an hourly employee with Lone Mountain or strictly commission?, which is obviously a harder gig. Does Lone Mountain include the delivery charge in the sale price or is it separate? If it is a separate charge what does Lone Mountain charge for a delivery that distance? Or if they don't include delivery, how much did you charge for delivery?
