THREE SOULS on board?! Flying to Lake Ouachita

This super cute kitten stumbled out of a cornfield crying for someone to feed her. I'm glad we decided to walk down that road that night!

Are you taking submissions for #flyingkitten's name? I propose Amelia!

Yes taking name suggestions! Someone suggested Mags - love that one

You saved the kitten from a very short, very miserable existence. Your concern about the noise level and her comfort in the aircraft made me smile. I can’t tell you how much that means to me and what an amazing refection of your characters. All the best.

What a great video! There needs to be a special place in the seventh depth of hell for people who just dump unwanted kittens and puppies in the middle of nowhere. Thankfully, there are other special, caring people like you and Chelsea. Just remember this when you invite a cat into your lives and you'll do fine: Dogs have owners. Cats have staff.

[@JohnMGreiner]

You had me at “3 souls on board” ….fellow pet lover here.

[@JohnMGreiner]

Great pic BTW, such great genuine smiles. Fellow pilot N6661X . Our home is nothing but rescue pets out in the boonies where we live. My wife would roll her eyes me watching all your videos, now that you saved that kitten I have totally leverage to watch your videos all I want.

[@libertyvilleguy2903]

That’s a cute kitten. Thanks for caring for him.

[@BobbyChastain]

Wait, you got married?! It’s about time! I remember when you had a pillow head for a passenger awhile back. I was like, dude, this guy has a lot going for him. He deserves a good girl. Glad you found one!

[@derickellisster]

Honestly, besides meticulous flying, I have to say that your film making skills are awesome. The light, music, editing etc is really great. It adds about 70% to making the content more valuable. On another note, glad to see that there are now 3, although no. 3 is a little hairier. She will be happy with the two of you, I can see it clearly. Been waiting years for that right seat to find a permanent pilot/passenger. As a pilot, I know how important that is.

[@Cavalier-lp8tr]

What a natural. Chelsea did great for her first time! You'll get it too if you keep at it. Nice video.

[@ThomasCrowne]

Good for y'all rescuing your kitten. Life is better with dogs and cats.

[@gtr1952]

That brought a tear to my eye, good on you guys!! We had a kitty that looked exactly like her for 12 years! He was a member of the family and we dearly loved him!! He slept between us every night! LOL Two difficult procedures, then two surgeries at Cornell University, and we lost him. Take good care of her, she will bring you a lot of love and happiness!!

Get her another rescue friend you can have Left and Right Mags. Cats are best in pairs, I have 5 pairs, the bed is very full.

[@ddessert6]

I have been watching your videos for some time and they are always great and informative. Having Chelsea in your videos adds a whole new dimension. Many of us don't fly with our significant other and I wish I had been able to do more of that when I was flying. It is great to see you share something you both love doing. Hopefully we will see more of Chelsea in future videos beyond the ones already recorded. In flying or in a relationship, you have to adapt to the situation. Both take careful planning and both are an awesome experience. May both be with you for a very long time.

It's been awhile since I've tuned in, but I always enjoy your content and when I saw this video had a kitty I knew I had to see what was going on. My wife and I recently moved to east Texas and in the last month have rescued 3 kittens. The first one my wife rescued from the middle of a busy highway and then about a week later I found two playing in the middle of the country road we live near. Great video! Good luck with the new fur baby!

[@cf8000pro]

Josh! You’re a softie! Loved this episode!

[@robertpilpel4113]

Speaking as a lifelong cat person I've learned that a cat is usually happier and healthier when it has a feline companion, and the younger the better before the first one gets territorial. Two cats are really just as easy to feed and and care for as one, and they'll have two sources of stimulation -- feline and human. BTW I'm commercial and instrument rated (SEL) but way way WAY not current!

Learned to ski this summer myself after restoring my families old boat. Let the boat do the work pulling you out of the water on skis. Think like you're sitting on a chair with your arms extended and hold that position till you're up. You'll get it next time out, you're very close now! I'm working on learning deep water starts on a slalom ski now.

[@bouncebynum]

This. Especially the part about keeping your arms extended. When you pull them in, you pretty much guarantee you're going over backwards.
