MY NEW JOB! - Flying the TBM940!

[@MikeKobb]

Super exciting, Steveo! Congratulations on the new gig, and many thanks to your new employer for letting us come along.

[@xMrJanuaryx]

I wonder if that has anything to do with why he's struggling to find a full time gig or maybe they just have to pay him a lot more than most pilots?

[@geno8154]

Pay the man!🤑

[@videopyc]

@@xMrJanuaryx... may be needs time to take care of others... but i like the fact that we can watch him fly and be happy.

[@cwg73160]

@@videopyc “but i like -the fact- that we can watch him fly and be happy” ftfy Unless you plan on using “the fiction that” whenever you to tell a lie, “the fact that” is redundant and ridiculous. Outside of opinions, it’s always understood that we!re telling the truth.

[@RH-cv1rg]

@@cwg73160”always understood”? It!s just understood.

[@nothing_burger]

It's selfishly entertaining seeing how much Steve-o struggles calling out his new tail number. You know every fiber of his being wants to call back with *November 851 Tango Bravo* 😂

[@retiredtravazapper2827]

here in brazil the pilot of a football (chapecoense) team had the same problem, strong headwinds and the fuel consumption went high, he made the bet that it would be enough but arriving, there was an aircraft on priority due to another problem to dont be sued by the team he dont declared emergency and when he got the clearense the fuel went to 0 and their crashed meters from the runway killing the whole team, loved your professionalism on diverting to the safest option, cheers from brazil!

[@Nov1cegg]

Sim... tem horaa que esqueço o quão recente foi esse acidente. Tragédia imensa. Mas foi bonito ver os times de futebol apoiando a chapecoense

[@ASPextra]

BZ is Navy speak for “Well done,” so…well done!

[@johncarter8688]

Happy to see you back in the air flying the newer TBM 940. Congratulations on the new part time gig and likewise many thanks to your new employer for allowing us to tag along.

[@skyepilotte11]

Good to see you back Stevo...thx to your new ow er of this aircraft to allow us to tag along...Great flight.

[@TheMilwaukieDan]

Congratulations Stevo… you’re so well known with TBM you should be a demo pilot for them. Happy for you and your new job. Success is a beautiful event.

[@davem5333]

With your experience you could probably show the demo pilots a thing or three.

[@cwg73160]

⁠@@davem5333Whose experience? You’re not replying to Steveo.

[@CriticalAngle]

The new callsign doesn’t quite roll off the tongue like 851TB but it’s a sweet ride for sure! Congrats Steve, looks like a cool new gig. Good call on the fuel. I’m sure it suck’s having to come down from FL280 for an unplanned fuel stop, but it’s definitely not worth the risk or the stress! Fly safe.

[@neverclevernorwitty7821]

Agreed, going to take some getting used to.

[@lowercherty]

Especially with a long overwater ahead.

[@turdwarbler]

well its better to come down as a powered aeroplane rather than as a glider 🙂

[@claudiathomas5659]

Can't hear both of you

[@Chann_Winson]

Bravo Zulu is naval flag code for "well done!" I like it.

[@topguncg47]

Everyone in the aviation world when hearing TBM we all think of the man, the myth, the legend TBM Steveo. I’ve gone through my old Steveo videos due to withdraws on nothing new. We are all so proud of you and your accomplishments. Taking us along with you on many adventures, achieving many milestones, this is a big one. Never forget, we all love sitting in the right seat with you flying along side the coolest pilot ever. Congratulations on all your accomplishments and many more my friend.

[@FlyWithKeith]

Great to see you back, Steve. Congrats on the new job and thanks to Isaac for being cool to let you share the journey! ✈️

[@yepisaidit100x]

Congratulations! So glad to see you back. Thank your employer for all of us hitching an armchair view that many like myself may never see. Truly grateful .

[@olnutzy2005]

I’m not a pilot, but as a regular flight simer in MSFS, the TBM is by far my favorite aircraft to fly. You’re a lucky guy Steveo! I hope you can continue making flight videos.

[@dsbennett]

Amateur computer pilot here - you didn't open the window and yell "Clear!" Is that no longer a requirement or practice? Thanks for the fun video. You are living my dream.

[@kb9zzo]

Good job on the decision to divert. You made it seem simple, but I know from experience that it can be hard to decide to change your original plans. Thanks for being a good example for all of the pilots who want to make safe decisions.

[@chrisewen3813]

I was about to write the same thing. If we cut it close enough times, probabilities go against us and time will one day cause us to test the fates once too many. Good lesson right there.

[@bmuns6445]

I like your video. I grew up not going camping and stuff like that - because my dad was a Navy and commercial pilot. I grew up going to airshows and hanging out in military hangers when other kids were camping and going on ski trips. I took flight lessons but admittedly got scared away doing my stalls. My younger brother became an F-15E navigator which was fun to see him go through and sit in his plane and walk on the wings. My dad has a C172 so I've flown with him from Chicago to TX and FL. Ive reminded him his flaps were still down and let him nap while giving a little left rudder of an hour or two. Aviation is a unique experience and I'm grateful for the experience. Maybe one day I'll change my mind and get a license. It is amazing flying over the clouds.

[@Mr.Martini549]

851TB was a beauty, but this plane is stunningly gorgeous! Have fun with her while you can and thanks for taking us along, Steve-o.

[@djohnson4274]

Hey Steve-O... I'm been a fan of your videos for a few years now and when I saw this video, I was sorry I missed you! You see, I am an LST at Modern Aviation in Wilmington (KILM) however I wasn't working at the time. My co-worker named Tyler is who marshalled you in. I have wondered in the past whether you ever stopped in Wilmington. I always thought it would be cool to meet you. We are open 24 hours a day and I am currently on 3rd shift (2200 until 0600). If you ever make it this way again, I hope I get a chance to say hello. :) Thanks for choosing Wilmington and Modern Aviation! Don J.

[@smitty9733]

I am happy for Isaac (obviously a wealthy guy) getting his pilot certificate and future ratings but I hope when he watches this video he appreciates that it takes years of experience to reach your level of competence. Good to have you back !

[@nathanwildthorn6919]

@steveo1kinevo So glad to see you again! I've had a silly grin on my mug as soon as I saw you, man. 😊 It's great to have you back in the ol' saddle- a _940_ no less! Woohooooo!

[@wallacegrommet9343]

I lived under that flightpath for five years! McGuire AFB ATC , wow! Regular sightings of C5-A and C-141 growing up on the Manasquan river. That airport was owned by a man named Ed Brown, who was constantly feuding with every government regulatory official who dared to impose authority!

[@seesafar9912]

Thanks for taking me up. What absolute fun. And here I am terrified of heights....

[@MrRjsnowden]

Man what an amazing aircraft. That climb rate...wow!!!

[@Paughco]

Bravo Zulu (“Bravo Zulu” is a Naval signal, conveyed by flag-hoist or voice radio, meaning “well done"), man! Glad to see you back in the air! Fox Alpha (no definition provided on this one)! Tunes: You gotta check out "Rose Tattoo" by the Dropkick Murphies. ISYN.

[@Adam_Gray]

Once again, it's been a joy to fly with you, Steveo in the virtual, TBM940 right seat! I really like how cockpit is laid out in the TBM940, sure makes flight management a little easier. ✈💙👊🏻

[@lc582]

Watching these videos never get old. Doesnt matter how many times I hear you talk through the startup and procedures. Its just so cool every damn time!

[@bobwilson758]

I really like how you study the aircraft and it’s systems . You obviously do a lot of very necessary Pre - flight work and it shows ! Your aircraft owner should be proud and comfortable to have You as pilot in command ! You strive to stay ahead of things - Nice job ! Be cool ! Thanks fellas .

[@pantiernan89]

I might shed a tear if the day comes where you hear "November 851 tango bravo" over the radio with someone else flying 😅

[@Pa27pilot]

Congratulations Steveo, it’s nice to have you back. Your videos have been sorely missed.

[@OriginalMrE]

I don't think I'll forget 851TB BUT here we move on to new things in the future. here's to you Steveo.

[@Heres_Johnny.]

Must be nice to have 5m to drop on a new plane! Glad to see you flying and working. Full time back around the corner. Always love your videos. Great way to show what a skilled and efficient pilot you are. Great job as always.

[@gewglesux]

Less expensive that the 10m model hehehe

[@xeldinn86]

That's not his personal plane is it? I thought he flew for a company or something.

[@gewglesux]

New company new plane!@@xeldinn86

[@marinegunner7481]

Another great job, Stevo. Flying with you is the best. It’s like a tutorial in flying. Yes, I recognize that formal training is necessary to actually fly the TBM but for those of us who love to fly but can’t afford our own TBM, flying with you is almost like doing it. Isaac has hired the right guy.

[@GoProXadventures]

I’ve got about 6 hours in 9BZ. I’ve been watching you for a couple years. I can’t help but grin like an idiot seeing you fly the plane I’ve flown, hangared, fueled etc. haha

[@HarperBrown-mr9bc]

wow, exciting😍

[@sg930sg]

Isaac is a great guy! Know him personally. Happy to see you back in a TBM!!

[@AnthonyRBlacker]

Beautiful plane Steve. I sure hope you don't lose the 850 though, I'm sure he'll keep it, it's flying time and time to make money!! Convince the owner it's a great time to have a private plane!!

[@SyTrades]

Spent $200 buying new planes in MSFS over the last 2 months, now i’m back to only flying the 930 cause your back 😂😂😂. So excited for what’s to come, we’re so happy to see you back in the cockpit of a TBM Steve!

[@simoncorporation3]

It wasn't Teterboro airport, surprised to see how fast it was from northern New Jersey Bergen county to South South Carolina?

[@davidwalter1528]

That was awesome to ride along on your new Part Time TBM940 - a beautiful Aircraft. I’m Praying things become clearer for you with regard to an enticing Fulltime Position. God’s got this!

Welcome back fellow skyguy. Thanx to Isaac also. You shoulda been in my seat. It wasn't bumpy at all.

[@azcharlie2009]

Good to see you back in the saddle again, Steveo! Thanks for letting us ride along.

[@mnm7338]

I love the feeling of flying with you as opposed to other posts, you sense a true/real time feeling of "being up there" whilst learning some flight procedures well explained ... great video and look forward to your next venture:-)

[@kf8679]

Beautiful plane Steveo .. always top notch videos ..Thank Issac for letting you film and let us come along ….Congrats on the new opportunity and part time which hope leads to full time opportunities..if I could, was in your neck of woods and had the means i would hire you in a split second..Take care Steveo ..a pilot like you are special..hope someone sees that ..Happy 2024

[@skywalk_luc]

You probably need to familiarize yourself with the new callsign 😅 foreflight weather is once again super reliable... 😂

[@johnsteele8382]

Congrats Steveo, I cease to be amazed with your flying skills and safety awareness. Also I wondered if the TBM940 is so automated that it takes some of the fun out of flying? Very cool and grateful that your new boss was open to this!

[@kevykevTPA]

That 940's gonna get you lazy when you get back in an 850! Congrats on the gig. SteevoooooooHH!

[@andrewleatherman4931]

Such a gorgeous TBM! It’ll be exciting to see this aircraft for a year and then the transition to the TBM960. The G3000 is such a great avionics package. Great video sir!

[@monsterzero760]

Steve I am so happy for you brother! New job and an upgrade on the last plane you were the pilot of the TBM 850. The 850 almost seem that it was haunted with bad luck from having to lower the landing gear manually because of a failure, problems with generators and a bullet hole in the top,of the plane i was worried about your safety flying the plane. I hope Isaac knows he now has one of the best pilots in the nation. You take your flying very seriously and your knowledge with flying makes me know that one of the elite pilots is about to fly wherever your boss sends you to. Heck you could have won Top Gun by outflying Ice Man and Maverick 🤩🤩🤩😀😀😀😎😎😎. Of course I would win all the volleyball games on base with Goose as my partner lol! Anyway safe travels and God bless you and your family! Looking forward to your next videos!

[@petertarantelli]

4,300/minute, the 940 is a rocket ship! Great video SteveO and excellent first look at the TBM940, love that AutoThrottle and the G3000 glass cockpit! Tough to cut it short at Wilmington but safety first. Thanks for taking me along.

[@marsgal42]

Nice new ride! 😍 Back when she was shiny and new my Musketeer flew around various airports in New Jersey, including Monmouth and Red Bank (defunct since the early '70s).

[@Gleesborg]

Thanks to your Boss 👍👍👍so lovely to have you back ❤The 940 seems to TO like a rocket 🚀

[@milt7348]

You were missed. Glad to have you back. Fair winds and safe travels.

[@johnkeller441]

I was a TBM SIM Instructor at KSDL. Great airplane for certain missions, but landings are a little harder to "master." The speed is the best part of the flight envelope! Most customers had stepped up from an earlier model. Innovation is the name of the game. Best of everything flying this model. Blue skies and great tailwinds!

[@clarenceoveur9497]

Steve, TBM940, and a kickass edit of Ramble o Souleance... what else I could ask for this beautiful Saturday morning? So happy for you, Steve! Congrats on the new job, you deserve it so much, and looking forward to seeing your rocking the TBM960 in the near future ✌🏻

[@voytekcyvr1936]

[@steveo1kinevo]

That is the hardest part of flying a new airplane! 😆

[@gregneedoba3927]

[@ChrisEpler]

@@steveo1kinevo*giggle* Ya, could tell it was hard to not say N851TB :) Congrats, hope the 940 and the new employer treat you well! Enjoy!

[@paullehr9236]

Enjoyed seeing you again, thanks. ILM brought back a flying memory from waaay back when I owned a Cessna 150 in the 1970s. On my way to ORL from Connecticut, ILM became an unplanned fuel stop with strong headwinds. What made it so memorable was that it was the only time that I ever had a line crew roll out a red carpet for my tiny Cessna. I probably got no more than about 15 gallons of fuel (less than $1/gal back then) and they rolled out a red carpet. Brought a smile to my face after all those years. Thanks for that memory.

[@bar10dr]

Hell yeah! Happy for you Steveo, also happy for us who gets to see new TBM videos! Love your work dude, have a nice day.

I'm glad to see you're back, SteveO! I have to smile because it sounds like you're having a little trouble with the tail number but I totally understand.😅

[@nickpapagiorgio5056]

That 940 is one beautiful bird! The huge air intake under the prop and those big exhaust pipes out the sides typical in the tbm are so sick! I noticed at one point you had a whopping 103 knot head wind! Wow man that is crazy! I’d love to know what the strongest headwind you’ve ever encountered was in your years of flying! That one has to be up there lol great video as always Stevo!

[@pastorjohnmswanson5365]

Glad to be aboard to fly with you. I flew on C-130s during the time in the Air Force in the Philippines and Vietnam. Saw a lot. I enjoy your videos because you make it look easy but I know better. Expect the unexpected is correct. Always stay focused. Would love flying with you. I would have complete confidence in your flying. So glad you got a new job flying a better airplane. With the other plane having continued issues with generator it tells me there was something going on with wiring between batteries and generator. Could be as simple as one slightly loose connection. I worked on them and saw some crazy things so simple but yet troublesome. Hope all that is behind you with the new plane.

[@eclexian]
