TOP SECRET Mission to the BAHAMAS flying the CESSNA CARAVAN!

[@billyjoe3309]

I truly believe that Stevo may be one of the best pilots in the world. His enthusiasm and caretaking of the airplane is just amazing. I'd love to be his passenger one day!

[@arthouston7361]

I stopped 135 work in 2002, so it's nice to see a good flying video. Brings back memories.

[@TraneFrancks]

Flying to deliver groceries. To a private island in the Bahamas. That's gotta be the literal definition of living the dream.

[@jonashelmke2564]

Not saying I don't love steveo but it's also why the terrorists hate us

[@emanemanrus5835]

especially if you own both the plane and the island

[@smaze1782]

Gotta be honest. Whenever I see a new Steve video it immediately brightens my day. Another great one sir. Can’t wait for the next one.

[@GaryMCurran]

There were enough of them today, Steveo actually finished last. There was Jerry W's video, Mr. Aviation 101's video, Flight Chop's video, and then Steveo. All good and kept my out of trouble for two hours.

[@thelert]

All my favorites, Premier 1 is another good ride.

[@golson33]

I'm too old to fly commercial - SO! I do it at home on FSX. That's about the best I can do these days; but it still brings back the memories. Thanks for the "Live" videos Steve.

[@journeyer58]

Gary I have Windows 7 + is there a way I can load FSX onto my computer I've tried a load of people and no one's answered please help if you can

[@JDSleeper]

I'm falling in love with this plane in Flight Sim 2020.

[@keithwebb3258]

I had my own Grand Caravan 208b No 1059 with Oasis interior. After a Cherokee Six and a Saratoga. It felt like a lounge with wings. Flew with PPL and IMC. Based on Isle of Man so plenty of weather and frisky crosswinds sea mists etc. Only got my PPL at age 62 so a late starter. So pleased not to have missed the experience. Great short field aircraft and fast enough for me. Your videos bring it back so well. I am sure you inspire people to fly and fly well.

[@nathanielsango7465]

That clearance radio call is crazy🙌🏼😂😂

[@ciibladeworks-carterhopkin6123]

I went to Spanish Cay as a young boy in approx 1972 when it was owned by Texas businessman Clint Murchison Jr., he was the founder of the Dallas Cowboys. My best friend's parents were friends of the Murchison's. We flew from Opa-Locka on their DC-3, they apologized that the Gulfstream II was in the paint shop. Anyway, it was a cool trip that I vividly remember 45+ years later. There were two 50'+ fishing boats that took us out fishing morning and afternoon. The food was great, and at night we watched Cowboy's game films and a film of NFL follies. There were also large pieces of debris on the beach from some type of missile/rocket, not uncommon in the Bahamas. Steve, keep up the great videos, nice to see the Caravan again.

[@copflyer6569]

Awesome! I haven't been keeping up as I am recovering from recent open heart surgery. The serenity and beauty of this island has taken a lot of the pain away. Thanks for another great video Steveo.

[@rixplace1792]

To sit here and fly with Steveo is the same as sitting in the right seat, always a thrill.Every AM about 8 a Caravan passes over my house in EFTL heding east and I presume to the Bahamas

[@kennysworldtour5518]

Stevo, I absolutely love watching your flights to where ever! I’m not a pilot, but one day soon I hope to be. Watching professional pilots like you are truly an awesome inspiration! So please keep up the good work!😎

[@chucklamont9778]

Your right Steveo nice greaser. Your also right about flying the Bahamas, early in my flying career I too flew in and out of islands for a charter service from Homestead general, (Key Largo-Air Service) bare bone, single Navajo, throw in a couple of Aztecs and a J-3 cub. Early on and looking back (1970s) plenty of work and no better way to load the log book. So thanks Steveo for bringing back some fun memories loved every minute of it.

[@indiana146]

Chuck La Mont did you ever have any ufo sightings

[@rebeccarhyner2642]

I practiced short approaches in my last lesson! Love your videos. Bahamas seems like an awesome place to explore as a Pilot.

[@tayloryacht]

Always loved Spanish Cay when I went by boat. Used to clear customs there. Always good to have a marine handheld VHF on hand. Everyone communicates this way there or used to anyway. I could be living in the past.

[@olmecultra6588]

1980 - Bimini Island airport-after the last ferry left. "You get into your plane and spend the night. If you step off the wing you will be shot." At dawn we started up the engines on our Piper Aztec and got the hell out of there!

[@stevenss8070]

I’m sitting here in Switzerland and watch the video. It remembers me of our trip to the Bahamas. Landing on the same strip, spending a night on Spanish Cay, island hopping ... Thanks for sharing.

[@pappybo49]

Thanks, Steveo, for a nice little jaunt to the Bahamas. Living the life, son, just living the life.

[@josephjolly1936]

Thanks for the ride. 👍

[@johnkeyes630]

Steveo, your audio is so inclusive... Very nice. I look so forward to your videos.....some of the best on KZbin.......Please keep them coming..

[@lindarte]

15:48 Probably every single pilot's favorite movie

[@jackpinnell3973]

Steve, you have THE BEST flying vids on youtube and NOW you are flying my favorite Cessna aircraft to one of my favorite destinations!?!?!?

[@peterjohnkendall7637]

Have not flown for 18 months due to circumstance but I think Steve you have just wetted my appetite with that cool video thanks.

[@vanillaninja00]

Great to see the Caravan back on screen, I missed this old friend. Have a blast on your Ambassador adventure this week Steve-O!

[@steveo1kinevo]

Charlie Wilson thanks Charlie! Aka...The Mayor! :)

[@beyondinsanitybr]

If your name was Charlie Whiskey you could sign always CW

[@pavelow36]

you're already good at flying steveo, but you're getting better and better with cinematography. that drone work is pretty awesome. I really hope you can also attach gopro outside the plane, maybe on top or portside where the wheels can be viewed on touchdown. really amazing work.

[@chrisstannard2092]

well I know from experience that this man can fly a caravan!! You rock Steveo. thanks for the flight.

[@dieselyeti]

Loved the 208. I flew one for a 135 company years ago and spent a week in the Caribbean as a relief pilot flying into St Bart's (SBH). Good times.

[@danielfefler7861]

Anyone else love those solid radio calls ? Nice video Steveo.

[@fatgosunerd]

Steve - great vids as always. How hard is it to remember procedures on multiple types? I'm checked on the 172 but couldn't imagine re-learning an entire new plane.

[@jameswikstrom4174]

Great video! Love the Mission Impossible music as well as the great scenery. The Bahamas are an actual 'Paradise"! Spanish Key is not bad either! The Caravan, beautiful clear water and Steveo. It doesn't get much better than that! BRAVO!

[@woodwardbenjy54]

Wow! Great flight in the Caravan into Spanish Key. That was breathtaking the view of Spanish Key on approach. Thank you from Tennessee!

[@jimnew5813]

Ha...like your second mode of travel when reaching the Bahamas. Love the Bahamas, our family including my wife , my son's wife two kids and their dog flew a Caravan from FLL to Great Harbour for a four day stay when he was flying for Tropic Ocean Airways. we rented a car to get around the little island of 700 residents.

[@ernestbrumage8590]

Beautiful flight, beautiful island!! I can't even begin to grasp what it must be like to own your own private island!! But, I would like to at least give it a try sometime!! Thanks so much for "the ride"!! Regards, Ernie

[@billkline4077]

I love the way your using your drone shots with your videos, it rounds out the whole video. Not only a great pilot great videos

[@edcast81]

Great work! I flew that same 208 for the limo back in 2012. Good memories like you said.

[@cmbiker8147]

One hell of a day job,I wish my office window had that view.

[@RollTide8569]

Christian RT rider Yeah, but you get to do paperwork while he flies a stupid little plane!

[@stephennightingale6787]

Really enjoy your commentaries and informative style especially regarding the avionics side of things.Nice editing! More please.

[@Ms2mark]

You Sir, are having Too Much FUN..... you make flying look MAGNIFICENT..

[@buckshot704]

The front office of the Caravan looks pretty spacious! Beautiful view! 😎👍

[@sailord-life861]

Mission accomplished you always rep da 242 steveo good to have you home again

[@Spec62]

As you say, it NEVER gets old watching you fly to the Bahamas!

[@Spec62]

Another question, Steveo. You have any plans to take the Kodiak over to Staniel or any of the other islands? I'm sure there's one or two special people who would enjoy keeping you company.

[@gorway7]

Have always loved the Caravan - it's a proper work horse. Used to catch a lift to Orkney on one, with the Mail and the odd crate of chickens and a couple of goats.

[@DougFM]

I got to fly a Cessna 172 from West Palm Beach to Freeport, Bahamas. Flying over the ocean for the first time was trippy.

[@loremaable]

Very nice view during the left donwind leg.

[@toddwoods582]

Back to the Bahamas! Yes!

[@UncypheredRoblox]

i like when you do Bahamas flights i live in the Bahamas too

[@CaptainReverendo]

Steveo! Good to see you back in the caravan! I started watching you during ppl training, now I have IR and getting ready for commercial checkride. Learned a lot from you, including how to wear cool socks and ties like Reggie!

[@bradfigiel2203]

Awesome video, you are definitely living the James Bond life. Sold my Tri Pacer last year and miss being able to get up and go in the U.S. airspace system. Glad I found your vlog. The superb video and audio help me get my fix of flying even if I am in the back seat. Keep up the good work.

[@jonmcrafts]

Great to see the "Master" at work. Really liked the position you had the Go-Pro setup. Got a great view to Co-Pilot six pack too! Keep them coming!

[@butchmcgeeair4106]

wonderful. thanks for letting me "fly along" knowing this is as close as I will ever get to be doing the flying your are doing.. so a lot of us "live" through you and your videos... thanks again

[@davidgriffith1513]

I used to fly an Aztec in to Walkers Cay a good bit back in it's hay day. It is the northern most Bahama Island and much of the hotel and marina were destroyed by back to back hurricanes. I hear Carl Allen bought the island and is planning on putting it back onto the sport-fishing map. It will be good to see Walkers busy and booming again.

[@Webleys]

Spent 25 years flying a FedEx Feeder Caravan, love that airplane! Looks like our old panel, I liked the steam gauges. Got Garmin 600s in them now. Nice video!

[@troygrant88]

Im using my GI Bill to become a pilot. I cant wait to get started in the fall. great video.

[@MindShivy]

My end of service date is in August of '21 and I'm considering that route too. Got any advice on how to start that process?

[@cesarquintana9034]

Beautiful video Sir. You are an encouragement to pilots. Thank you.

[@Kacey135]

This is probably one of my favorite flights I've watched of yours Steveo! What awesome scenery! I think the landing announcement was my favorite part!!!

[@garydell2023]

Thank you Steveo for the ride along. Mission accomplished. Saw you on Niko's wings. Keep flying safe.

[@happyseal7202]

Video: TOP SECRET Steveo: Uploads to KZbin

[@sdawdawdawdawda1897]

HAHAHAH

[@indiana146]

Once when flying from Manchester to Malaga my parents live down the coast in torre neueva The pilot came on the tannoy it was a yank he was very good smooth landing in Malaga great video

[@root9065]

Man that BOSE headset is killer :) nice to see Bose pushing the envelope and innovating on the aviation market. Yes, in-ear headphones always isolate noise better, and likely offer better sound too. Enjoyed the video as always, thanks for the ride ;)

[@damo3748]

Hey Steve, I have ended up with about 50 hours on the mighty van down here in Oz, but have had medical issues and have not flown for the last 5 years! I love seeing your videos & reminiscing on just how awesome the caravan is. Thanks for posting :-)

[@jaagoutalentdevelopment6516]

Thanks Steve, it's really a lot of enjoyment watching your videos! Cheers, Eric.

[@lindsaythomas2283]

For someone running a business in the Bahamas, the 208 with belly pod is the perfect station wagon/mini-van. I'm soooo jealous.

[@jeffsinger6718]

The first aviation vlog I subscribed to, and still my favorite. Great video!

[@planejaneuno]

Amazing & thank you for sharing this video.

[@stevecastro22]

Mission accomplished Mr. Phelps, love those short finals....

[@donjones1203]

Thanks Steve; enjoyed the flight and comments!

[@fredmax2541]

Just stumbled onto your video it seems that taxi into position and hold is now line up and wait. Nice little flight.

[@Chris_Hetherington]

Good ole Caravan... Covered wagon of the skies

[@caroltyler7498]

Wow !! That runway looked like an aircraft Carrier covered in moss !!!

[@benmartz3405]

I sure am glad david copperfield did not make you disappear! I saw him in atlanta once! Coolest show ever

[@MyHealthByDesign]

Overflying the marina to "ring the doorbell" brought some memories of "Da plane! Da plane!" from Fantasy Island.

[@marktaylor8263]

Da plane da plane, it has arrived. 👍👍 Steveo....

[@TheEarthandyou]

You got it. Thumbs up. It seemed short.... which is good... stayed interested. Great guide!

[@haulinhogs]

After a busy week this was just what i needed for my Friday, a nice flight in a caravan back to the Bahamas...Thank You, Thank You!

[@mmcleod111]

That was cool! Private Island life…I’ll take that

[@HardHatPat]

What an awesome aircraft! I love jumping out of that door

[@brentwilson9983]

Speaking of Top Gun...Top Gun 2 is on its way!!

[@slinehan4]

Sweeeeet! Love the 208! Clearance read back like a boss Steveo!

[@DUBaviator]

Tricky tailwind on landing looking at the sock.

[@donstravelsandrants.]

Great position of the cameras on the caravan.. Fantastic views.

[@aviator_thomas]

By far the best way to bring groceries from A to B. Great video, Steve!

[@balhallak]

Nice flight and nice island, keep exploring!

[@acrodrigues1]

That runaway looks like the surface of the moon!

[@captainicelander3898]

On min 19:23 the windsock is showing downwind for that runway, just wondering whats that about. Is that a common thank to land downwind? Im not real-life pilot, thanks alot for your contents! Love the Caravan. Kepp on rockin' partner.

[@danielrogeriomelocunha4083]

Nice flight, and smooth landing 😇 god bless you captain, you're supporting me here in Brazil with my phraseology in English 🙏🏻✈️ Thank you

[@doc-nobody-glider]

Blue Waters, fast boats, pretty girls(?) on a private Island. Live can be so sweet, on the sunny side of the fleet :-) Great Video, Steveo. Keep on filming

[@juanflyer8443]

Very well done. I think this one was one of the best! I always pick up something new. I look fwd to my first Bahama trip. Thanks for sharing.

[@russellclement2058]

A long approach is fine,,, I like the scenery,,

[@brianmann01]

On my route into work I go around the perimeter road around executive. About 3 weeks or so back they were cutting up I think what was a Learjet 45 and then there was a couple dismantling another jet and getting it loaded onto a trailer. A pretty busy airport with a lot of traffic in and out.

[@bobbuchanan2626]

Thanks Steveo, love the Caravan, nice to see you in a Caravan again.

[@serg154taxi]

awesome mission, had a lot of fun watching it. ty for sharing your flight.

[@craigbmm9631]

what a beautiful place

[@tonywatkins6139]

Another excellent video man, so great to see the Caravan/Bahamas combo again.

[@bruceerwin2541]

Beautiful, Steveo! Thanks.

[@lanefrost7653]

Stevo... I've been following your KZbin channel for about a year now and I really enjoy your content. I watched your videos last year while I was deployed. I was in flight school a couple of years ago but I wasn't able to finish. Watching your videos helps me stayb educated .I was wondering if maybe you could do a video with in depth flight planning to show us an insight on how you plan your flights. I'm not sure if you've done anything like this already. Keep up the awesome work!

[@philhill184]

Beautiful area! Thanks for sharing!

[@niceguy2171]

Nice fl..err Mission, and in the Caravan, finally a craft I've flown, and the ability to see all around you never gets old. When you get used to calling out a callsign so much, it IS hard to switch to another, and I used to have so much problems with that at times, as you just rattle it off without thinking, so can definitely understand that. Gorgeous views of coming in on that approach (again, extended windscreens help ;) and how cool to land at Spanish Cay there!

[@johntubbs8991]

Hey Steve, Your smooth narration during the flight was great as always. Thanks for the fun trip!

[@sonnymoon6465]

Very nice video ! thank you !

[@markh3097]

Sick! My hands were sweating when you landed...man that is crazy! You seem really confident in what you are doing, keep up the good work!

[@cb3809]

Nice ride :), sporty approach with a smooth touchdown :)!!!
