MY FIRST FLIGHT with the CJ3 to PANAMA!

[@franciscovington8244]

Stevio It’s good to see you online. As a Single Pilot, I miss the old videos when it was just you and the Caravan or just you and the TBM (851TB). We single pilot guys like living vicariously through your adventures. Seeing you in the right seat feels unnatural.

[@RiDankulous]

I’m not a pilot but one that might interest you on a KZbin channel is missionarybushpilot. The videos I’ve seen have generally been very good. He lands on very primitive runways on the sides of hills and mountains in Papua New Guinea. The weather is something to see too, and it’s beautiful over there.

[@marklupus]

Appreciate Isaac allowing you to accompany him on these trips but wondering why he doesn't allow you to share the load. Those radio calls, checklists, and frequency changes are something he could very well let you handle so he can concentrate on flying the airplane. I know the CJ3 is single pilot certified but to make his workload a little easier should be a blessing.

[@dennythomas8887]

CRM = Cockpit Resource Management Use all the resources at your disposal. 👍

[@ricanderson5717]

If I flew alone all the time, handing off anything would upset my rhythm. Not saying that's Isaac's reason, but....

[@89.]

bc he is happy to be cuced and make money from sugar dad why not

[@saint1242]

I don’t think Steveo has the type rating for this aircraft

[@seagullsbtn]

Flying with another qualified Pilot, and accessing their experience might just teach you something that improves your flying.

[@williammcbane2599]

Great to see you at FL430 Steveo!!! And thanks to Isaac for having us all aboard!! Cheers!

[@steveo1kinevo]

Glad you enjoyed the flight!

[@doughboi007]

Whether it's a TBM or private jet, I love watching Steveo pilot anything he can get his hands on!

[@gregmitchell3794]

When I was a kid we drove over that bridge across the canal right after it was built. Thanks for the ride you guys.

[@Rsantana380]

i can only say 1 thing, you are a legend , the best out there.

[@brentnearhood8874]

Thanks! Isaac and Steveo✈

[@roblebby3765]

I loved that flight Steveo. I was in Panama in the Army in the late 70s and saw a few things that brought back some good memories, like the Bridge of the Americas you passed on approach. Thanks for the memories!

[@skyepilotte11]

Thanks Stevo and Issac...Great flight in a fine aircraft. Enjoy...

[@craigbmm4675]

yes enjoyed . i went to Panama a few years ago . very beautiful .. seen the canal .. yes alot of ships in the harbor

[@balmany15]

Great to see ya, Steve! Always enjoy watching your videos start to finish.

[@pjgallant]

Great video - Isaac did an amazing job handling the approach workload, including deviations around CBs, on-approach controller shortcuts, back and forth with ATC for airport conditions, and with a "chatty pilot-passenger" Steve in the right seat!

[@MartyBecker]

Very cool to see Panama City, Panama again. My father was stationed at Howard AFB in the mid 1960s. We lived there for three years. Howard AFB is now Panama Pacific Intl Airport. It was off the left wing during the final approach.

[@coriscotupi]

I lived in Cardenas in the mid 60s. Best years of my childhood.

[@garrymorrison1769]

That was an awesome flight Stevio with Isaac on the CJ3. I was excited when I heard Panama because I was born and lived in Panama for 26 years. Also I’ve flown many times into PTY (MPTO) from JQF (KJQF). Thank you for having us onboard.

[@pinmode]

In my opinion, your best video. I was born and raised in the former Panama Canal Zone. Great views of the Pacific terminus and the adjacent environs of all the places I lived near and all the schools I attended. Much has changed but some things remain the same. Thank you so much for producing and posting this video from those of us who once called that place home.

[@aworldnervelink1]

I lived in Clayton 20 years ago. I hung out at the TGI Friday's Amador... on the patio I could watch the ships in the canal, the planes landing at Albrook, and the chicas rollerblading on the causeway. The Biomuseo was nothing but a billboard. Great to see the neighborhood again, thanks for the video!

[@Sebastopolmark]

GREAT flight, this shows how you really have to be on your game to single pilot that type of aircraft. Issac did a wonderful job, as always, staying "on top"! !! !!!

[@bruceerwin5430]

Isaac thanks so much for sharing your aviation passion with us through Steveo. You’re a good man. Cheers.

[@1JCPilot]

Happy to share! More to come.

[@Mr.Martini549]

Thanks for continuing to take us along on this new aviation journey.

[@jgassaway5547]

Thank you Steve for another great video !, Greetings from Iraq

[@alexandermyrthue1987]

How is life for you in Iraq?

[@Joeycp18]

Nice having you here stevo🇵🇦🇵🇦 always welcome here!

[@MultiFishslayer]

Stevo always happy to see a video from you. Thanks

[@gpedrick]

Congrats on the path forward! Never stop learning

[@tomnorman2668]

Another top notch flight! Thank you, gentlemen!

[@superdude1759]

Steve you're the best producer of these types of videos of all the different pilots who make them! You're more considerate of your viewers in how you talk to us! I just thought you'd like to know! Thank you much!

[@N98858]

Nice Ride Guys... Thanks ';-)

[@geraldhenrickson7472]

What a wonderful flight this was. Wow. Thanks guys.

[@socalfun64]

Amazing CJ3+! What a perfect single pilot jet. Such a pleasure traveling with you guys, thank you!

[@stephanedirand6535]

Wow awesome approach! Thanks for sharing it with us Isaac & Steve!

[@aviation2simulator581]

Like always - outstanding video - I love those rainy shots at the beginning! :)

[@jayjays3592]

You definitely got the knack to add the right music for the occasion. Love it

[@jamesravenscroft2207]

Thank you from northern Nebraska

[@bmwlane8834]

I used to fly into Howard afb....many years ago. C- 130 loadmaster. Panama is a special place. Love the city and love the people!

[@coriscotupi]

What a great video. And it brought memories, too. As a child I lived in Panama in the mid-60s, in the Canal Zone days. I vividly recall the rides along that causeway onto Amador beach. In the approach you passed almost exactly over my former school, Balboa Elementary, whose building now houses a branch of the Panama Canal administration. You landed on what was formerly Albrook Air Force Base, where I spent countless mornings in the swimming pool. I lived not far from there (about 1.5 nm NNW) in a lovely place called Cardenas right next to the current location of the US embassy. Cardenas was a child's paradise, all-residenial, with unfenced homes and lots of grassy open spaces where I'd play with Guillow's balsa wood gliders & rubber band-powered airplanes. Bicycles and skateboards were casually left on the driveways at the end of a day's play - and would still be found at the same spot, next morning. I spent some of my happiest days in Panama and have often fantasized of revisiting the country, but keep giving up on the idea as to not contaminate my childhood memories with the inevitable transformations and not so sweet realities of modern life which would certainly be found there.

[@steveo1kinevo]

Thanks for sharing your memories. That's pretty cool.

[@mikercflyer7383]

Great flight what an amazing approach. We did it the long way by ship through the canal to the lake then by bus to the pacific side of the canal. Great adventure. See you on the return flight. The intro and outro always the best. Safe travels

[@CZDigger]

I was born and raised in the Canal Zone Steve. You flew right over some of my old haunts. Nice! You landed at the old Albrook Air Force base. That runway was closed when I was there. They used to fly RC airplanes out there and I would ride my bike there and watch. Runway was not kind to those RC models when they crashed out. When I started driving, my parents gave me a Suburban. 3 speed manual with a V8. We would hit 100 mph on the runway and lock up the brakes at the end as there was a foot of water and mossy. We would be spinning like crazy all screaming and terrified. Then we’d do it again. Had a blast and survived. Great place for we Zonians to grow up there. Sure do miss home.

[@craigbmm4675]

lol too funny

[@coriscotupi]

I spent my happiest childhood years in Panama. Lived in Cardenas, would often go to the Albrook AFB's swimming pool. I miss the CZ dearly.

[@pinmode]

I lived in Cardenas from when it opened in AUG1962 to when we left in AUg1979. As you would know, it's just north and west of runway 10 where Isaac and SteveO landed. Appropriately enough, that township was the residential enclave for all FAA employees when the Canal Zone was a thing. What years did you live there? (The Los Rios pool was closer). 😊😊

[@coriscotupi]

@ I lived in Cardenas from 66 to 68. As far as I remember, our house was the only one in the neighborhood that was single-floor, and because of this it occupied a larger footprint than was the norm with the other, two-storey houses in Cardenas. It had a beautiful, curved driveway and at the time was the only house on the far east end, and on the south side of a of a 300-meter stretch of Wright street, meaning I had a huge "back yard" to play with hand-lauched balsa wood model airplanes. From what I see in Google, the street was later extended east past our house, and a few more houses were added. We kids would often play in the creek just off the backyard of the houses on the north side of Wright street. It was pretty shallow, but there was a spot where it formed a pool of sorts that was a little deeper. And from there, we'd hike (as far as we dared, LOL) along a trail that we called "the back road" toward Fort Clayton. It couldn't be more than some 500 meters long, but for 7 year-olds, seemed endless. Oh, and Los Rios. That was where I learned how to swim. I often fantasize of revisiting Panama and of course spending a few hours in the streets of Cardenas. Residents would likely find that very odd and probably call the cops on me, LOL

[@CZDigger]

@ '67 - '85. Mom was born and raised in Colon. Dad was an avid spear fishing, fishing guy and I was blessed to spend some quality time above and below the Caribbean Sea and Pacific Ocean. Always enjoyed our camping trips to San Blas. Dad had quite a bit of history with the Kunas. Lived with them for awhile when he was a kid. Lived in Margarita, France Field then we moved over to the next side, Diablo.

[@shoriconsultorimobiliario]

Great content. It’s the nearest most of us will get from an international private jet flight ✈️

[@GrahamWilmott]

Great Video Steve When we will see you fly these planes again by yourself, miss the videos where you are in control. Cheers

[@craigbmm4675]

taking it to the next step Steveo .. glad to see it .. enjoy the ride :)

[@terryrutherford2114]

That was a great flight to come along with. Thanks!

[@jamesyounce2231]

Stevio - In 1962 I spent a few weeks on Toboga Island in Panama. I was a field Engineer for Federal Electric Corp. division of IT&T and assigned to an Air Force Civilian Electronic Overhaul Unit at Keesler AFB in Biloxi, MS. I was sent there to repair the TACAN Beacon on top of Toboga Island. It was used for approaches to Howard and Albrook US Military airports. I returned to Panama in 1964 during the riots to relocate that Tacan Beacon to the mainland in an old WW2 bunker near Gillards Cut in the canal. I was fortunate to get to a ride on a new ship from entry to exit of the canal. going through all the locks.

[@elmanuele]

I'm a pilot and live in Panama. Obviously as civilians we don't use TACAN but the Taboga VOR is still used for Tocumen and Panama Pacifico (formerly Howard AFB). The Albrook airport, right behind my house btw, is 100% visual nowdays. We have kept a lot of the infrastructure from those days. The keys to my house have 'Property of the US Government' engraved in them since all these houses used to house military and government personnel.

[@johnogo7886]

I was stationed in FT Clayton Panama 🇵🇦 from 1985 to 1988.

[@DrCrabfingers]

Awesome as usual. Damn I love this channel.

[@steveo1kinevo]

Awsome video. Really enjoyed it, especially the decent into Colon. Reminded my of my visit to Panama several years ago. It's a really beautiful county.

[@DomTheHawKdaMiaN]

Good to see you back always amazing content :)

[@HondaGoldwingGL1800]

I had to laugh Stevio when you said the controllers speak spanish real fast and slow for English. Back in around 2005 before I retired, I had a trip to Mexico City and the controller must have been an auctioneer on the side. When he called me about 20 out, I had to tell him that I heard him but that I have no idea what he said. he asked me why I did not understand and I told him that I was old and that old people do not hear fast. If you could, slow down your speech to something like warp speed 3. After that the radio chatter blew up with people laughing...including the controller, but he did slow down and did his best to insert a South Texas drawl. I ended up meeting him the next day and he said he got a big laugh out of it...and to this day, even tho I have retired, we are still good friends. I flew over the canal a few times on my way to Brazil...pretty neat. Fly safe and if you can, come out and scooter ride with us sometime. We have a big trip planned starting May 24 and you would be most welcome to go with us.

[@gcrauwels941]

I remember flying into there years ago to fix a yacht and seeing the Miraflores locks and symmetrical swells along the beach on the Pacific side.

[@joshb-8810]

Welcome to Panamá! 🇵🇦

[@jayson1270]

I don't know if I've ever watched a pvt flight get to FL430 (I'm sure it happens all the time, I've just never watched a video where the filed plan/or ATC gives the clearance for it). This was pretty cool.

[@W1RMD]

Thanks for showing FL 430. You can see the earth curve!

Great video! What a fantastic flight to Panama! I am from Colombia and have some very good Panamanian friends there. By the way, did you know that Panama used to be part of Colombia just before it built the canal? I hope you keep flying south of the border more often to visit and learn about the culture and people of your fellow Americans with Spanish and Portuguese heritage. Blue skies and happy landings for you always!

[@Hike_America]

The bridge on final is called "Bridge of the Americas". Finished in 1962 and part of the Pan-American Highway.

So cool to see Steveo landing at the airport where I did my flight training, (MAG - Marcos A. Gelaberth) and taking in the views of the city and the PANAMA canal (cough cough haha). Right before the landing you can see to your left El Puente de Las Américas (The Bridge Of The Americas) and as you land in the middle of the hills, Cerro Sosa and Cerro Ancón (where the flag is), you can see the Panama Canal Administration Building to your right at Min 28:57 with all the stairs. Awesome video. Hope you had an awesome stay.

[@Heyhi6969]

Who built the canal? 😉

[@CaptMoo]

@@Heyhi6969 thousands of laborers from Barbados, Martinique, Guadeloupe, Jamaica, Grenada, and Trinidad 😉 Oh yeah, French and US workers too, but they couldnt take the heat
