TBM850 Flight VLOG! VIPER 1 and CAUTION WAKE TURBULENCE to Charlotte / Douglas International!

[@mdubskins89]

love the 'Steve1TB' call from ATC

[@Chace957]

Thought I imagined that lol

[@THX-lc4tj]

Looked for that comment. Heard it as well and was like „WAIT A SECOND“ 😂

[@justindumlao]

@@THX-lc4tj I had to play it twice!

[@sb75ification]

You’ve officially reached KZbin superstar status when ATC regularly gives you a shout out!

[@fhturner3]

Loved that bit!

[@bennetthartnett3824]

The "racetrack" is actually where Michelin tests new tires! They have high-speed areas, different amounts of bumps, and handling/cornering.

[@RichardinNC1]

Correct, the Michelin Laurens proving grounds. Not open to the public but certain groups can use it such as Tire Rack Street Survival (teen driver training).

[@milk-it]

I was thinking it was a tyre testing facility!

[@linuxxc]

This is correct! I've tested there. Nice facility.

[@felipebutcher]

i was thinking it could be a car factory test center... was close. thanks for the info

[@thomasmixson7064]

In Stevo we trust! Trust is earned, and maintained by constant vigilance.

[@ne14lov22002]

He is NO god... Trust in NO MAN, for they spew lies from their mouths..... Lord Almighty is KING, and you will BOW DOWN, or get thrown into the LAKE OF FIRE.....THE LORD'S WORDS, NOT MINE

[@dalehursey2377]

Charlotte is my home and loved the views of you flying in. Flew nearly right over my house on Final great flight for sure.

[@LElliottCox]

CLT is my home airport and ATC is always great to work with. By the way, that was me in “Citation 346CC” holding short when you landed, so I had a front row seat.

[@jimmysealey6108]

I remember talking to you too! 😀

[@ultramet]

Not only a damn great pilot but he has the best YT video soundtrack to be found! Just trying to reach this level of piloting skill one day. 🔥

[@flyingdirtrider]

Came here to comment on the music as well! Excellent music choices, have found a few new (to me) artists thanks to Steveo!

[@natetallman]

I've always said that if he published a playlist of his soundtracks I'd subscribe easily

[@hamshack8735]

Heya Steve. I really like how you extend your vid to include a wee bit of an after arrival peek around town. I wish more aero vloggers did the same. Kudos!

[@steveo1kinevo]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@petertarantelli]

Great flight, great video! Appreciate you giving us the entire flight, really makes a difference. Thank for taking me along!

[@steveo1kinevo]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@pappybo49]

Really great ride! Thanks for sharing Steveo

[@jasonfoo7127]

Jason 🇦🇺

[@pkane5472]

Everywhere Steveo goes, he gets a shout out from ATC!

[@jimmysealey6108]

Welcome to CLT! It was a pleasure to be your tower controller that day. 😀 Come back any time.

[@cirruscapo]

Don't usually watching long vlogs over 20 minutes, but have never had that issue with yours my veteran brother. I'm here for the long haul...

[@steveo1kinevo]

Glad you enjoyed the video! Yes, this one is longer than my usual video.

[@jennscott6858]

@@steveo1kinevo didn’t even notice. Great content!

[@deathraylabs_nature]

steve-one-tango-bravo was great from ATC

[@jeffr6280]

Cool to finally see you flying over my home turf. Hope you enjoyed your time in the queen city.

[@steveo1kinevo]

I did!

[@healerf18]

"In Stevo we trust" - the ultimate compliment. Well done sir.

[@lucky_one2]

Thanks for taking us along! Merry Christmas Steveo!

[@steveo1kinevo]

Same to you!

[@davidgilpin5200]

GREAT storyboarding, cinematography, sound, music and editing as always Steve. FOUR shout-outs on a short flight away from Florida? I suppose your level of professionalism plus the iconic N851TB bring forth this kind of appreciation, similar to the "two finger wave" of Jeep drivers everywhere. You are a pilot's pilot, and we love the content.

[@Razorback68]

Thanks for Letting us ride along!! Happy Holidays!!

[@vanallen9453]

..way to go ..once again. Steveo..and please keep em coming..

[@jonminer9891]

Hi, Steveo. That was one of your best flights. Lots of interesting and beautiful views. Charlitte is a great airport. The F-16 chatter was fun as well. Anyway, thanks for sharing! Stay healthy!

[@ayrshire1418]

I was working in the tracon when you flew in. They are building a taxiway that joins 36C and 36R to make it easier for those that park in the cargo ramp. They are also building a 4th parallel rwy btwn 36L and 36C. There will be two end around taxiways around 36C. Good to see you finally made it to CLT.

[@surveyore7]

Wow! They were building 18R/36L when I lived south of there in Pineville, then Rock Hill. Amazing the 'expansion' rate for 12yrs!

[@steveo1kinevo]

Thanks for the info! 👍🏼

[@av8or971]

Great video again. I loved my flight in the f16 when i was in the USAF.

[@shaphanstoltzfus4627]

Love the videos. I fly out of a small airport just north of charlotte and had the privilege to fly into charlotte international at sunset as a student pilot during Covid when air traffic wasn’t so busy. An experience I will never forget.

[@stevedarling5883]

JQF? Steve flew in the a few years ago.

[@1983dmd]

The ''Miracle on the Hudson '' US Airways A320 Capt Sully's airplane is on display there next to the airport !!! Very nice exhibition worth seeing !!!

[@russellthorburn9297]

The amount of coordination it takes to keep everyone safe and have an airport running efficiently is mind boggling.

[@Flying4Film]

I just flew into KCLT on Thanksgiving. I hadn’t been there in years, but picked up a layover there for the holiday pay. It will be nice to see once the construction is done.

[@stin987]

The race track you saw is the Michelin Proving Grounds in Laurens SC. It looks very similar to the test track we have at the BMW manufacturing plant in Spartanburg SC. You should come visit the area and tour the BMW plant some day.

[@thegipper4501]

Nothing like the sound of a Turbine spooling up! Great Aircraft, great Pilot!!

[@stevew7112]

I'm glad you got to come to our town finally. It is a nice place to live. Plus you are the best pilot out there.

[@petewilson5094]

Oh wow Stevo!! Excellent flight to KCLT Class B. I will be showing my Ground -school students this vifeo.

[@jaredkbyrd]

That track was the Michelin Laurens Proving Grounds for Michelin tires.

[@carolinasaviation8698]

Landing on the left (otherwise known as 485 lol) I've had taxi times of 45 minutes or greater! Now that they have closed 5/23 and essentially made it a taxi way its not as bad but still can be. Great flight! Welcome to CLT

[@pwilliams72364]

I work for Airport Operations in CLT. We currently have a ton of construction happening. What you saw was construction on Taxiways and new concourse construction.

[@beyondinsanitybr]

In Steveo we trust!

[@billkeys6733]

Classy video. Charlotte has been a stopover for me on many business trips out of KAVL. Thanks.

[@whiz3528]

Awesome life, wish I had started that years ago. Lucky to be involved in some military aircraft production, B2 bomber for one.

[@robertscranton8293]

Great flight. Love the camera placements in the cockpit

[@robertsise7898]

Hi Steveo, that is the BMW Performance Center in Greer, S.C.!

[@billfly2186]

One of your best productions! I used to work at Wilson Air Center when it was Signature. I flew GA out of there and ATC was very GA friendly for such a busy field.

[@ronalds2080]

Thanks for the ride Steveo.

[@MattyCrayon]

Awesome to follow along. Thanks for all the great videos this year. May you and your loved ones have a great Christmas and start to 2023 👍

[@Toms_Bright_Ideas]

I've only been to Charlotte airport once. It was ages ago on a ValuJet or some low cost carrier that couldn't fly me non-stop to New Orleans to see my Army Buddy in Metairie. I remember flying in the turbulence was terrible and on the outbound flight to Kenner Airport went over the Gulf of Mexico for a bit and we had a bit of roller coaster action. The flight attendant almost flew up to the ceiling. If it had been an uneventful flight I don't think I would remember it at all.

[@mikercflyer7383]

Great flight, we have landed in Charlotte many times our final destination was a one hour drive to Columbia S.C. Charlotte airport has really has expended over the years. I am always waiting for a shout out to you and was not disappointed. Safe travels Steveo. And Merry Christmas.

[@jamest7551]

Another great video Stevo! Thanks for explaining everything so clearly to us about what you're doing and why you're doing it! Love flying with you!!

[@davidfase7095]

Another Best Flight. We just got back from St Martin Dutch. Love that place. It would have been great fun to fly with you at the yoke. Have the best and a Happy Holiday.

[@bagels377]

I've been to CLT a bunch and I got to say Wilson Air Center has to be my favorite FBO. Especially the CHA location.

[@ilovechieftains]

Thank you Steveo! Happy Holidays to you and yours. Looking forward to another great year of videos from the best!

[@brentjohnson6654]

Another great video. We will be flying through there on American next week. They have Sulley’s plane at the museum at Douglas Airport. Very nice.

[@doughboi007]

that viper call is so sick

[@dannyireland1808]

“In Steve-O we trust” you have to have that made into some merch!

[@RichardinNC1]

Living in north Charlotte, I always enjoy flying into Charlotte Douglas for the views. At times, doing the same CCW circle you did. You did a broad circle around my neighborhood at 32:02 with it top center of the view for 10 seconds. Its so cool driving north on I-485 past the airport in the evening. I've seen 10 or more plane landing lights on approach.

[@chasplace2308]

Merry Christmas Stevo . Nice flight as usual. Enjoyed the ride

[@robcohen7678]

That switch flipping right after engine start reminded me of Han in the Millennium Falcon.

[@zbedr]

Best job, best pilot, best music!

[@Rhinozherous]

Awesome camera angle, nice to see the main instruments better!

[@rmshivo]

Therapy for the soul. Awesome videos. Greetings from Kenya. Thanks Steveo

[@rjspain56]

A very enjoyable video today Steveo. Charlotte is my hometown and you showed her off very well.

[@garrymorrison1769]

You flew right into my town (CLT). I flight out of KJQF (Concord, NC). Great flight and great sights.

[@allanfarrow5391]

Truly one of the most interesting flights I've seen, Steve! I'll have to try this route myself on MSFS with the TBM 930. I loved watching how they slotted you in between the heavies. Thank you for all the great aviation content!

[@jetpi78]

Great video! Welcome to CLT! I am a retired former ramp controller for AA. Love watching your flying.

[@johnathanasiou9284]

Simply awesome Steveo!. Thanks also to Justin for pointing out those fuel gauges as I had no idea what they actually were. Wishing you a very happy birthday, all the very best for the festive season & a fantastic 2023

[@emylrmm]

what a beautiful downtown!

[@DeonMitton]

"Steve 1 TB" - Rocks ! Cool - thanks for sharing

[@AustinHammy32]

Stevo!!! I live in the Greer area, very near GSP. The racetrack you were asking about near Greenwood, SC is a Michelin (tire company) test track where they test the capabilities of their tires.

[@flyifri]

Cool and steady wins the race moving forward one day at a time. Well Done on all counts.!

[@jonworthing7467]

Don’t know about a race track, but that airport was one. You make it look so easy steveO. It’s like you say keep ahead of the game.

[@allenschnaak6218]

Great flight Stevo! Right through the heart heart of my homeland. PDK to CLT. This may have been the best of your many episodes. Great instructional commentary, great weather, and the potential for wake turbulence… good drama, and a prudent high approach. Come down and see us at GGE and enjoy you some low-country.

[@kf8679]

Beautiful flight Steveo… enjoyed video as always .. Merry Christmas Steveo..☃️🎅🏻🎄🙏

[@rikspector]

Steveo, Awesome piloting, busy airport...Wow! Rik

[@GunsNHarleys]

Good flight I learned to fly in Charlotte many years ago before it was such a crowded airport.

[@Richbund]

Haven't watched in a while. That was a fun watch and Steveo, you have become quite the celebrity. I counted 3 or 4 shout outs during the flight and quite a welcome wagon at the airport by the ground crew. Cheers!

[@roadboat9216]

Great trip. Thanks. Wake turbulence, boooo

[@garrysmodunleashed7873]

hey, thats me fueling!

[@steveo1kinevo]

Thanks for the great service there at Wilson Air Center!

Steve - awesome video, one of the best yet. Might be a little bias since I live in Charlotte - great views of the city flying in. Hope you come back again!

[@chadwilliamson2810]

I always enjoy your videos. Thanks for the job you do. Merry Xmas.

[@uvupilot3233]

Did I hear Atlanta call you Steve 851TB? That's great!

[@surveyore7]

I 'caught it' too! Was 'quick but 'great'! Must be 'nice' to be known in the aviation community! :)

[@balmany15]

If I ever come into some big money, you're top of the list for private pilot! Hope you enjoyed your stay in NC! Merry Christmas!

[@jimmyjoe6159]

No way man Steve is coming to Canada to fly my Global 8000! I mean if I had one and the money

[@darrellgordon7456]

nice flight into once of my favorite cities, love Charlotte

[@BerserkPublishing]

Welcome to Charlotte. Very cool to see you fly into our city. Hope you had a good time and come back soon. BTW, you were at the home of NASCAR. Come back in May or October if you want to see a couple of great races.

[@fetchit55]

Nice flight! Thank you Steveo! 😊👍

[@steveo1kinevo]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@jerseyshorescannernews]

i love how ATC shouts you out all the time

[@PaulGarthAviation]

25:45 - SteveO said this was a new airfield and approach control, yet the controller still recognized him. Fun stuff. Great detailed video

[@gerardvandervoort]

...watching from the Netherlands (EU). Thanks again Steveo!

[@steveo1kinevo]

Welcome!

[@Brandon-dh5rd]

I have a picture of your plane taxing in Sanford earlier this month, pretty cool to see in person.

I'm pretty sure that racetack was the Michelin Laurens Proving Grounds

Loved to hear “Viper I have contact” 😂 something you don’t want to hear usually. 😂

[@kevincollins8014]

Cool flight thanks for bringing us along with you guys. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

[@R3APERxG1RLX]

One of your videos showed up in my recommended section. I'm hooked. They are so informative and calming. Your plane is beautiful. Love the music, too! :)

[@pjcraney]

Sounded like a full boat - pretty sure I saw 851TB at Midway - if so I can't wait to see that video !

[@kenmurray6950]

So good just like being in the right seat, thanks

[@tucksmith8300]

You’re definitely a good pilot Stevo
