MY FIRST TIME FLYING THE TBM940 to the BAHAMAS!

[@donmettler7695]

SteveO! Gotta say thanks...I am 15 hours into getting my Private Pilots License at KPDK. At over 50 years old I said screw it...let's learn to fly, I'm not dead yet. All because of watching your videos. My wife blames you :)

[@SyTrades]

Good luck on your journey! Safe soaring!

[@CosmicGate184]

If you're physically fit to do it, you can still fly at least 25 years, so it's definitely worth it. When i started to made my glider pilot license i was 15, and the oldest trainee in our club was 66 and he made the license in about the same time like me :)

[@donmettler7695]

I completely agree, being physically fit is the key a fulfilling senior age, use it or loss it.

[@lkingwell]

Never too old to learn to fly. Whether private or professional, it's a fundamental achievement that will change your life forever. I learned 22 years ago and as well as meeting a bunch of life-long friends, it changed my whole approach and perspective of my work and personal direction.

[@Tom-zs6bb]

@@CosmicGate184 You know how long he's going to live? Cool!

[@blakebrothers]

Great flight, thanks for sharing! The 940 is almost as fast as the 172 I fly - when the 940 is taxiing. 🤣

[@steveo1kinevo]

With only a single engine the TBM940 is quite an amazing aircraft!

[@dripguy]

Another great video SteveO! You can tell it's South Florida if everyone is wearing a jacket when it is 62 degrees out. You know people from Wisconsin are in the pool.

[@steveo1kinevo]

You got that right! Glad you enjoyed the video.

[@regalnut86]

a cool 22 degrees F this morning here in Wisconsin, shorts and a t-shirt, felt great!

This is literally my favorite aviation channel on planet earth. Yes I’ve been to another planet.

[@robertdavis6708]

That paint scheme on the 940 is insane Steveo. What a lucky Duck to fly that bird.

[@lkingwell]

Like you, we were gutted when the regular TBM850 job fell through, but "when one door closes, another one opens" and now you have new opportunities in a more capable aircraft. Looking forward to seeing more!

[@runnygames9027]

for real and its an upgrade the 850 back door closed and the 940 pilot door opend lol he has his own door now

[@gregorylewis8471]

Great to see you flying again Steveo! That TBM940 is one beautiful bird! 😁

[@steveo1kinevo]

Glad you enjoyed the flight! 👍🏼

[@westernstar4964]

The sound of that start gave me goose bumps

[@mattd4616]

So great to see you back right where you belong Steveo

[@malluej]

Smashed it @ 2:30

[@mynameisray]

I fly the TBM 930 exclusively in MSFS because of Steveo and his videos, what a dream it would be to do it in real life. Sadly these are just out of my price range as a private pilot.

[@scottmcpoil6184]

Great to see you back Steveo!

[@johanventer9471]

Thank you, dear pilot. I needed this beautiful landing in my life right now. From S Africa.

[@tjjoseph333]

She is a Stunner! Welcome Back Steveo!

[@joshwilliamson1814]

(21:00) As one of those sub guys - I appreciate the shout-out SteveO! Spent a fair amount of time there :/

[@WhiteEagleTube]

Don't worry Stevo i saw that message and smashed the like button 😉

[@AirForceBoy2005]

I'm so glad to see this videos again Steve-o. The skies haven't been the same without you.

[@ciqa6568]

My favorite Bahamas Tourism ambassador. Safe travels.

[@valuedhumanoid6574]

Last year we got 3 couples together for a charter from Miami to Nassau. They stuck us on a Cessna Caravan. Charter flying is so much better than flying commercial. If you plan it right and have enough people, the cost is a wash. It may end up slightly more, but not by much. But the convenience and avoiding the masses is well worth it. Not only that, you can actually fly direct to the island of your choice. There are several strips on the other islands that can be accessed directly. When you factor that in, you eliminate a long commute from Nassau to your hotel, removing yet another expense and time. I believe Steve O has also flown the Caravan too. And to the Bahamas. Still doing that? Been out of the loop for a while.

[@iindiar]

You lost the tango but you still have bravo! Congrats on the new job.

[@ib5647]

That’s a nice bird. I’ve flown in this very plane. I used to work for the original owners of this plane.

[@herts9999]

Nothing better than the window view of the coastline approach into Nassau!

[@kenneth8077]

It’s difficult to digest that that one propeller in the front of your airplane is strong enough to propel all that weight up to the airspace and then to a constant forward steady glide. Amazing!

[@BurnellWhittier]

Consider how hard it is to change yourself and you'll understand what little chance you have in trying to change others.

[@blake9908]

Stevo, you should make a video on how you do IFR flight planning so competently . I have my instrument rating, but I have a hard time knowing all the fixes i could get assigned and the 3 letter names associated. (often what I file isn't what I get) .

[@Vv-gk4cu]

Watching you from Europe. It's great flying with you to places, we'll probably never see in our lives.

[@thomasairbuspilot]

Nice job getting clarification about crossing that hold short line to make the 180°, true professionalism!

[@DestructZero6471]

I just happened to find this channel, and I love it. That TBM really does fly like a rocket! I have to say, I've seen a lot of flight videos, and I generally end up doing something in the background while the video plays. But in your case, I actually watched it from start to finish. I love how you tell us what you're doing as you go along. And by the way, it was driving me crazy until it hit me - IMHO you sound like David Costabile.

[@seanferguson8500]

I live in Nassau and never had the pleasure of landing on this runway. Beautiful

[@BWTIII]

Hey Stevo, always a pleasure to share your right seat, thanks for the ride.

[@YARCHLRL]

That TBM is an absolute BEAST... I'd love to fly one someday.

[@rhoeger]

Way to go Steve. So happy for you. Love your channel.

[@BeechSportBill]

…this new hot rod! WOWZERS!

[@bigjeff1291]

Man! That’s one bad ass looking airplane. It looks fast just sitting idle on the ground!

[@CraigZeigler]

So great to see you back in the air!

[@handy335]

Nice job, SteveO! You nailed the numbers and were comfortably able to make the turn off by the time you hit the runway holding position marker. That's about 780'. Nice!

[@egonrott7202]

Of course you had to fly to your favorite Island and we needed to see that too 😊

[@glen4688]

I was just checking the channel yesterday thinking it felt like a long time since we saw a SteveO video. And here it is! Great flight vlogs every time.

[@lechstryzewski9350]

Awesome flight SteveO - Thanks for taking us along !!

[@EVAVALENCIA-e3l]

He is a great Pilot and easy to understand

[@pilotpeego1820]

Hey SteveO, thanks for the ride along. I really enjoyed it!👍🏿

[@MsEnzoh]

STEVEO : Another FANTASTIC video . Please keep them coming…even at 61y/o your vid’s make me want more and more to start school again !

[@BrianAz]

Always enjoy seeing you nail a sweet landing allowing for that quick exit, you really know that airplane! One of the most difficult things for me is when you get ANY kind of nonstandard instructions like the 180 turn and hold short. It is easy enough, but you still have to process it and make sure you actually understand don't screw up. Like you demonstrated, ask twice to be sure and that way no errors or incursions! Well done sir!

[@bobwilson758]

From over 321 knots to 83 knots - Yeah buddy ! Nice job - It’s fun to watch you work -- Enjoy what you do ! Cool big buddy - Thank you for the camera work & trip east . See ya

[@rifp8440]

Been watching (flying along) FOR YEARS. I just love to ride along thank you thank you thank you

[@Rincypoopoo]

Loved it. Thanks for letting me tag along.

[@johnlatulippe5939]

Hi SteveO. I’ve been watching your videos for some time and I will say that I really enjoy them. I do have one observation though: why don’t you get the ATIS and IFR CLX before you start the engine. I can tell you that if you followed that routine in minus 20 degree Celsius weather with a 10 kt wind you wouldn’t be very popular with the marshallers. That guy stood there waiting for you. Keep the videos coming.

[@voltz53]

Thanks for the ride SteveO....awesome views !! 😎

[@Av8rApollo]

the tbm 940 seems like a dream to fly!

[@OfficialJeffreyMiller]

Congrats Steveo on the "Back in the seat" in the TBM. Great Flight! I miss the Bahamas!! 🙂

Steveo great video again You lead a great life don't Forget to give to your Favorite Charity Bro Pass it on 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@PatrickSBellSr]

Awesome! Brings back strong memories from my youth, Dad and the 414 flying around the Bahamas. Magical!

[@Bill92677]

Nice to be back in the air with you Stevo. Appreciate the way you handled the taxiway 180 on arrival. I heard the instruction and immediately went to ah, there's a hold short line right there. Good discipline to not assume and to double-check. Also good to be aware of and mitigate the jet's potential spool-up - good situational awareness! You could fly my airplane any day.

[@BlackouTTProductions]

I’m saving up to become a pilot. Now I gotta save up for a tbm 940… only 40 or so more years and I’ll have enough lol

[@BenjyCohen]

Always love the Startup Sequence

[@Jestey6]

Hi Steve. So cool. Great flight, great new airplane. I loved flying, the feeling of being liberated, it can’t be beaten, even in a 172. I fly commercials now, from the 10 row 😉. I sometimes even get a nod from the person in the next seat🤔. I get the same feeling, when watching you, you’re just so in command, monitoring the chat and instructions. And I can’t resist confirming them with you, N949BZ cleared for takeoff 🤗🤗. Cheers Noel, in the UK

[@nossonyoffe3805]

Steveo great video as usual, I work right under the flight path of runway 06 into TEB and I got a video of you coming in about a week and half ago , and I live 10 min from BLM , glad you come to the area 😊

[@Dunwyche]

Love the 940! One of my favorite planes. Thanke Steveo!

[@bcflyer99]

It's always nice to fly with you. Your videos for some reason don't make me sick to my stomach as others. It could be the angle of the cameras.

[@MangoMike316]

Steveo is one of the only pilots I'd would actually fly with, 👍❤️👍

Auto throttles look awesome. I climb out at 95% and pull throttles back to 75% before I switch off inertial separator so I don't over torque.

[@Sebastopolmark]

GREAT flight Captain. Congrats on the new ride. You even get your own entry door! !! !!!

"BZ" is Navy shorthand for "Well Done," the highest praise given. Appropriate!

[@michaelsherman1018]

Amazing rate of climb and the speed it left the airport...

[@DanRibar]

I just listened to your flight as I was driving Arcadia to Sarasota. We touched down about the same time. Thanks for the company!!

[@DucatiDon]

Bravo Zulu, also referred to as "BZ," is a naval signal, typically conveyed by flaghoist or voice radio, meaning "Well Done". N949Well Done!

[@garrymorrison1769]

Awesome flight into MYNN. I have landed there several times and I love it. Thank you Steveo for the video.

[@jamestraynor9947]

Dam, that is one amazing plane glad you get to fly this ship. Got the right dude at the controls.

[@tinothepilot]

Great video, Steve! Andros Island and the range there is where I spent a lot of time training on anti-submarine warfare flying helicopters for the Navy. Brings back some great memories, one of which was when I flew my first aircraft commander flight in the SH-60B just after passing my check ride there on the range. Good times!

Was out flying with my buddy in his plane. He let me fly through my first cloud, definitely a cool experience. Great video. Thanks

I am sure you still feel sentimental about all the years you spent flying N851TB, but this TBM 940 is one heck of an upgrade.

I love all the new technology!

[@tinmisuun]

That 940 is beautiful!
