Josh, it's been awesome to watch you grow both as a filmmaker and as an aviator. Keep up the great work! Cheers from AOPA's Air Safety Institute!

Thanks so much! My growth as an aviator is largely due to the content and efforts the ASI promotes and produces.

[@JustinKHelm]

The production value of your videos is absolutely second to none. In my opinion on all of KZbin. Every video of yours has given me the impression that you have a crew of at least 4 people with you, but usually just you! In flight your leverage of screen recordings really help. I work in broadcasting and I’m amazed at the quality of these. The audio is very good too.

[@dustiestark9701]

In 1960-62 I worked for a man who had a Cessna 180. He liked flying and we went somewhere almost everyday. So your chatter sounds very familiar to me. During that time we went from Lubbock, Texas to Dallas, El Paso, Wichita, Kansas, and all points in between. He loved to fly. The last few months I was with him he bought a Cessna 310. He laughed about driving a VW to save on gas and putting 300 gals in the 310. I like your site a lot. Keep up the good work.

[@stephenrichie4646]

I’ve watched your vids for years. Appreciate your presentation Style. And the insight you offer. One of my few regrets is not learning to fly. At 83 I’m not likely to. Your vids give me vicarious satisfaction!

Watching from UK - everything seems geared up for general aviation in USA. Josh, your passion for flying shines through. This was a super video to watch thanks.

[@TheDemonWasTaken]

Not only have you mastered your recordings, but that sponsor was amazing!!! I just wanted to say I appreciate the calmness, the piano, the amazing background and chill mood, and how quickly you delivered that part. Thanks!

[@IAmUndersteer]

Aghhh this is SO EXCITING! Congrats to you, Josh, and to 991 for seeing this new chapter begin as a revamped, modernized machine. It makes me happy to see folks putting the love and care into older machines, whether on the ground or in the sky, and the success that has made this possible for you is well-deserved. Thanks for bringing us along, and for staying happy, healthy, and current, and most importantly staying proficient. Fly safe! 😃

[@Hermandbl7]

Thanks for bringing us along. Some flying videos can be dull, but you inject a nice bit of humor and keep the story moving forward. Way to go with the full Garmin upgrade!

[@TheBert]

Good to see Otto getting some air again, even if he is useless. Looking forward to seeing the upgrades!

[@marksmith4582]

Josh, you never cease to amaze me with your flying abilities! I am always impressed! Welcome to Daytona Beach! Looking forward to seeing the transformation of “991”! Sometime perhaps you will make it back through KAWG on your way back to Wisconsin. I have followed you for so long now and am always impressed with you and your family and your flying capabilities! Always my personal best for you, your Family, 80991 as well! Mark in KAWG Iowa.

[@marcobarsi7578]

Nice video, great trip with the cherry on top being the landing in Daytona. 20 years ago I used to be a flight instructor in Daytona Beach, happiest years of my life.

[@rafaeldoria]

It's kinda sad see the old gauges go... I like the old style cockpit panels... But we have to keep up with the times! Also, it will give a nice capability boost to this classic bird. Looking forward to see the upgrade process and the final result. Hugs from Brazil!

[@rossrichardson7232]

Nice flight. You left Texas at 25 degrees F. By the time you published this and I am watching it is 78 degrees climbing to 100F here in North Texas,

[@adamhuenke1179]

It’s amazing to see how far this channel has become over the years and glad to see that 80991 is getting improvements.

[@skyhawk_4526]

Even Josh's in-flight meal planning is performed with precision down to the minute! :D

[@jasonn85]

Absolutely unmatched cinematography. The extra effort you go through for some of those shots is so worth it.

[@kwittnebel]

The filmmaking is top notch but I have to say I was always sort of glad to see you soldiering on with a good old GNS430 like the rest of us mere mortals, rather than going with the splashy sponsored 80k panel that most of us will never fly behind. So many GA youtubers have sold out to Garmin now, by appearance anyway: Patey, Triesenberg, AK CFI guy, Palmer, etc. Maybe you can be the first person to post a retail installed price for the equipment going into your plane. That would be a refreshing, cut the BS moment.

[@tag180rotax]

7:57 - 8:10 is the best 13 seconds of content I've seen in years 😂

[@Aviate68]

This was a really fun flight to tag along at. I really appreciate your nerdy personality LMAO! Deciding what to eat on a long cross country should be a logical and thought-provoking process! Jokes aside it seemed like you were in a great mood throughout this flight and it really showed in the video..made me happy :D

[@Aviation101]

I’m glad to hear you enjoyed it! It was a fun day of flying.

[@freedomrider30]

Man been watching for, what, 5 years now??? This is awesome!!! To see 991 come this far has and will be great! J, your by the book, safe and a competent pilot. To see a short final done perfectly, with ATC appoval of being perfect was a tribute to your skill set!!! You are a leader for GA up in coming pilot's!!! Good on ya!!! 👍🏻👍🏻😎😎😎

[@IAmUndersteer]

I couldn’t help but think that all his chop-and-drop practice with confined landing in a seaplane had him imminently prepared for this “make it short” maneuver. Very comfortable and right over the numbers. 👌

[@robertobeltramelli4138]

Hey Josh, thanks for the tip on the glasses. You and 80991 have come a long way. I recognize your sweatshirt from that West Coast trip with your instructor. Your documenting the panel upgrade is most helpful. Thanks for answering some of the commenters throughout their many responses rather than a few at the beginning. I know it’s alot of work but 274k subscribers is alot of work. Ten years of You Tube coming up! Congratulations!

[@GlensHangar]

Pretty sure that you're already flying behind it but you're going to love this panel! We did a clean sheet glass panel instal in C-FMVU; replaced and started fresh with everything. I absolutely love it.

Just went through a similar exercise on my Cherokee 180. New panel full of the JPI, avidyne and aspen, CNC cut panel with etched labeling, all new wiring, 100 amp alternator, all fuses replaced with circuit breakers, etc etc. Not a round dial left on the panel. LONG project but amazing to fly. You'll love the glass makeover!

[@carlmclelland7624]

DAMN, there IS another CFI out there with his shit together! I thought I was the last one. As a 50+ year pilot & instructor, and a retired controller, your initial contact to transition the Houston Class B told the whole story. AS A CONTROLLER, if, on your initial contact you sound like you're fifty-miles in front of the airplane, I would work my butt off to get you thru the airspace as painless as possible. If, on the other hand, if you sound over the radio like... you're so far behind the plane you'll never visit the impact crater, expect to hear, "Remain clear of Class B airspace and have a nice day." My last flying job, a CJ2+. After that, I said, "Enough. Life's been good, now I'll pass the torch." Keep up the good work, Mon Ami. Throughout our careers, we want to go higher, faster and farther. Then one day we realize what we REALLY WANT is to go low and slow, and navigate by looking out the windows. Enjoy the career.................

As I pilot who flies 172s in Canada there were 2 moments that really stood out at me in this video. 1 sub $4 gas. The other week I filled up away from the college and the gas was almost $10/gallon. 2 115kts at 6gph. I am lucky to see 105kts at 7gph in the 172 SP or N that power flow exhaust seems amazing. Great video.

[@nataddleman132]

Josh I really appreciate your promotion of aviation safety. I was very surprised that when flying at 11,500 feet you did not show us checking your oxygen level. A fan in nearby Houston.

[@mountainmikeoutdoors]

11,500 is nowhere near hypoxic levels unless you have COPD or some other medical deficiency. That's why. 90% of my day over in the hot high desert of Utah is spent cruising at 11,500-12,500 and I've never once seen hypoxia symptoms from myself, my passengers, or my students.

[@nataddleman132]

@@mountainmikeoutdoors Other KZbin flyers start using oxygen at 10,000 feet, or at least check their oxygen level. From my flight physiology training, the person experiencing the onset of hypoxia is usually the last person to recognize it.

[@gungadinn]

@@DJ99777 Could be, however if you fly a complex aircraft there are numerous other check items. Every aircraft I’ve flown had a laminated check list for that particular airframe. IMO a checklist is airframe specific.

[@DJ99777]

@@gungadinn probably, I’m just a simple GA piston guy but I use the same pre landing checklist for all the types I regularly fly they have a laminated checklist but I don’t use that after top of descent. I only fly C150, C172, PA28, P28R, PA31, P32R and BE58 regularly, nothing complex… only difference is undercarriage and air con aren’t required in some but I still say it….

Hi Josh, I am an Australian Optometrist and pilot. Some contact lenses dry out and others retain moisture. There are several different brands of contact lenses you could try to find the most comfortable for night or long hours flying. I have a special interest in lenses you wear overnight. They act like a retainer and change the shape of your eyes while you sleep. The lenses are removed when you wake for a whole day of superb vision without glasses or regular contacts. Absolutely wonderful for pilots and you can wear regular sunglasses too.
