TURBULENT FLIGHT DOWN THE JERSEY SHORE! - TBM940 Flight VLOG!

[@thunderbolt513]

Hey Steve! When you say Atlantic City, I immediately think of Steve's Buscemi magnificent Boardwalk Empire.😊 Oh! You buttered that landing. Good job 👏

[@SurfingTubes]

22:40 The abandoned building off Cape May is an old WW2 gun bunker, Fort Miles Battery 223

[@vidmikevid]

That’s cool to hear I was born in Pittsburgh but have been vacationing at the jersey shore for 40+ years. We go to stone harbor and always make our way to wildwood for at least a night. Some expert people watching down there for sure haha! Definitely a cool spot!

[@seagullsbtn]

Just found myself missing those flights with Reggie and his socks......

[@BritneyGray-mq7zn]

Hey Steve, love Cape May Boot Camp in the winter. NOT !! Nice plane...all the bells n whistles..

[@bigbob2638]

Boy, this bought back a lot of memories. Are there still landing fees at KBLM? I flew from CDW to 26N to visit my mom at that time. We use to spend summers in Ventnor NJ. I played golf all over south NJ in the area you flew over with my cousin. He lives very close to Eagles Nest Airport, Tuckerton. I never flew into ACY but I remember Air Force 1 doing touch and goes there as a kid. There is an Air National Guard base there too. Bader Field was a very small air strip in Atlantic City. They use to have Twin Otters flying in and out of it. From there they would to a short hop to EWR. It was operated by Southern Jersey airways now defuncted. Go to the Lobster House in Cape May, good eatin...Thank you for this Video Steveo!! Salt water taffy for every one.....

[@ParkerRyanPerforms]

Wildwood!! Shoutout to Sam’s pizza. The boardwalk! Great flight sir!

[@FrostiesTanks]

Love Atlantic City! My favorite part is the casino that isn't there anymore!

[@flyer7694]

Nice, I got my license and spent a lot of time flying in South Jersey (MIV). I’ve flown to Cape May several times. I also grew up going to Wildwood beaches. And no NJ people did not like Jersey Shore, they were all from NY.

[@donnymarroche2952]

Awesome Stevo!! Love you dude. Be safe!! I love all.youre videos!! Shout from Long Beach California!!

[@TrainSounds]

You flew over where my family and I used to go almost every summer.

[@110knotscfii]

Wildwood Every Summer as a kid. :-) Now I'm in Tampa.

[@MattyCrayon]

Awesome video Steve! Thanks for the tour down the coast of this part of the US. Certainly makes me want to visit. All the best 👍

[@frankpuleo2009]

The old building you spotted on the Cape May Beach is a World War II artillery bunker in case you were wondering

[@amamdawhatever]

At 10:51 off the right wing is Lakehurst where the Hindenburg accident occurred. When I was in the USAF I had the opportunity to explore the blimp hangars there which was pretty cool!

[@donhiers5787]

Missed seeing you at Sun ‘n Fun 50th at KLAL. Great week, bought 9-27 club tix and the food, service, comfort, and daily airshow was superb. Hopefully, you’ll attend next year.

[@RGflies63]

Steve, you flew right near my hometown, Pleasantville (just west of AC)! Thanks for the aerial view!

[@rszwestko]

If you ever get a chance come down to Republic airport in Farmingdale NY. We also have a little museum with some cool old aircraft that are still in operation.

[@johnnieseals-f4d]

Didn't know you were USCG, thank you for your service to your country.

[@StevenKing1]

Love to see you flying around my neighborhood. I am not a pilot but always enjoy your videos. Did a ride along in an SNJ many years ago taking a similar path you did but starting from Toms River up to Point Pleasant Inlet down to Barnegat Light Inlet (where you mentioned the other lighthouse which is Ol' Barney) then back to Toms River. Have watched many of airshows as well right on the beaches of Atlantic City every year. Was fun to see it from the air. Also spent many years going to Ocean City and Wildwood as a kid. Thanks for sharing your adventures.

[@williamgibb5557]

Thanks for the flight. Family has been in New Jersey since 1880s and we love it except for the summer traffic and shoobies. Years ago, I was with the company that paved the main runway. Big one. Ate at the Flight Deck dinner in June 2024. Great food but crowded. Took flying lessons at Woodbine .Stay safe my friend.

[@lorenzog0928]

Glad to finally meet you today. Wish you the best. Lorenzo

[@khrdina]

Another South Jersey person here; I grew up on the river across from Philadelphia and now live up north between KEWR and KMMU. That big marshy area at 15:11 - north of AC and Brigantine - is the Edwin Forsyth National Wildlife Refuge. A huge number of birds spend a lot of time in there. My wife and I spend a lot of time birding in there. Also, Cape May itself is the birding capital of North America, especially during migration seasons in the spring and fall.

[@mikemcmenamin1172]

I live in Cape May; wish I knew you were in town. BTW Jersy Coast is a MAJOR migratory path for birds this time of year. A lot of beach replenishment in the spring I think they are dredges. Object on the beach is a WWII bunker protecting the Delaware bay. Enjoy the Flight Deck Diner.

[@AOL0321]

Very cool video Steve-O! Love those Coast Guard Dauphin helos(Love the shrill of their engines) at Monmouth and the WWII museum at the end. Great landing and great flight. Thank you for your service!

[@marwansalih5769]

you akways make my day watching your videos. Always ful of knowledge. You make me want to change from law to aviation. might do when I graduate. Great guy, keep up the good work. From AUS

[@granddad-mv5ef]

Enjoyed it thoroughly! I hope to see you sometime at our Air Museum at Robins AFB, Warner Robins,Ga.

[@DavidBruner_NJ]

Great airport diner. We fly there every few weeks. Museum is well worth the time as well.

[@colinwallace5286]

Some really nice flight centres around the US it seems, even in some out of the way places. Maybe a good excuse to take an important break? I’m ground-bound in a big truck, but those breaks are always a good idea for us as well. Mental fog creeps in, sometimes without a person realizing it. Love your videos, congratulations on your new job and your new ride.😎🥸

[@MrCrystalcranium]

Stone Harbor is where my family vacationed most of my life just north of Wildwood. Cousin has a beach block house there. INSANE prices for real estate in SH and Avalon. There is no experience quite like the Wildwood Boardwalk on a summer night. The people, sights and sounds are incredible. Mack's Pizza...the Hell Hole centrifuge...Wild Mouse etc. The people you see there span the spectrum from rich and famous to full body tattooed female Hells Angels. "Watch the tram car please...watch the tram car."

[@clickster1883]

My mom was on the USCG 41-footers when she was in the Coast Guard Reserves out of the Channel Islands in Southern California. Being that she’d be on duty on weekends, most of their activity was rescuing recreational sailors and boaters out enjoying a day on the water when something wud go sideways on them and they required assistance. She loved that job and still remembers it fondly.

[@jeffbekeris]

Thank you, Steveo. As always, the ride and video were epic. Amazing, bro. A Bouquet of Roses, with class, most certainly. 😁👍

[@whartonloser]

The boats all in a row were probably heading to Ocean City to replenish the beach. Nasty storms tore them up earlier in the year. they replenish all the time ...

[@enkuzen]

Nice to see the shoreline from the air. I've been to Wildwood a couple of times, a buddy of mine is living in Cape May Courthouse. I als visited the Museum. You already mentioned the bumpy ride on your IG. Thanks for the video. Cheers from the Netherlands

[@robertmurray9022]

Welcome buddy to Jersey !! I live in south Jersey Sinse 1979. I love the Jersey shore as well ,especially Wildwood!! On a side note I had a cousin that was a Rescue Swimmer in the Coast Guard he was a master chief. He was also the technical advisor for Kevin Costner, and the movie the guardian that in the day.

[@cuprum166]

How great to learn you are a seafarer brother from your time in the Coast Guard. I sailed on commercial vessels international.⚓🚢

[@chrisp8856]

Just think Steve, your waving back at that little boy may have started the career of of future Captain or 1st Officer. 😊✌️

[@andrewbainton4029]

Enjoyed the ride and the nostalgia as well! Thanks for sharing. Really enjoy your videos as well..I get a kick out of it when you throw in those comments like "Hope you have your seat belts fastened" etc, as though we were in the cabin with you...always gets a chuckle out of me! Thanks again!

[@rikspector]

Steve, I live in Ferndale, WA but up until 10 years ago I lived on the Jersey Shore. I had a flying lesson in my 20's at Monmouth Airport and my wife and I honeymooned at Wildwood Crest. Being birders we've covered most of the coast and used to go to Cape May a couple of times a month...yeah BIRDS, Millions of BIRDS) I love the area and my wife used to take our daughter to Seaside Park Boardwalk , quite often. This was a real nostalgia trip , Thank you so much!, Cheers, Rik Spector

[@muddyexport5639]

Glad for another installment. Good vid. Thanks for the dead head...

[@chriscrawford8471]

The Kansas City Chiefs used to have a running back named Mike Cloud. Every time he was tackled, the stadium would play Get Off My Cloud! Nice video! It's not 851TB, but a really nice upgrade. Blue Skies!

[@flyer7694]

I have to add, this is by far my favorite video from you. Brought back many memories, both as a kid going to the shore and as a pilot training in the same area.

[@markleach116]

It was cool to see the Coast Guard facility from the air! My dad was a corpsman on a buoy tender in the early 1950's stationed in Portland, Maine.

[@grump1662]

I actually getting married in NASW in October. Such a great spot and I’m sure they’re grateful that you showed them off a bit. The restaurant has great breakfast and burgers too. Great video!

[@Thewoodshed85]

NIce, I live right by Long Beach Island. Yes, Jersey Shore Tv show was filmed in Seaside Heights. None of them were from around here. I didn't mind watching it to see what a train wreck they would let themselves be. The lighthouse is Barnegat Light, Old Barney.

[@paulirvine6336]

the worlds a better peacful place from up there lol thanks buddy first time watching i really enjoyed

[@rangerider51]

I got a little air sick on some of those bumps there Steveo. Fortunately I didn’t barf. I didn’t want to mess up your beautiful plane.

[@bbayerit]

"Slick on the Stick" Steve, greases another one. Sweet flight, sir, and thank you for the ride.

[@m2rsvp]

Thanks for showcasing the Garden State from Allaire to Wildwood. Welcome back to the Jersey Shore, Steve! CAVU

[@markusanderson1517]

@stevo1kinevo: heard the pause in your radio call to departure .... couldn't help but wonder if you were fighting muscle memory to announce the ol' 850. ;-) You had a lot of radio calls in that....

[@dmayhew10]

I’ve been watching you for a few years now. I work at Tropicana Casino Resort and was out on the roof last week doing my rounds and was watching those same tug boats towing the dredges down the beach when you were flying overhead

[@mrwaterbearer4261]

USN here. I forgot you were a Coastie! Thank you for your service. I was in Hospital Corps school with a Coast guardsman. Tunheim was his name if I recall. Thanks for the ride!

[@bmitch3020]

I wonder if that construction equipment you saw were the cranes going to cleanup the Baltimore bridge. Depends on when you recorded this. Thanks as always for having us along for the ride! I'm looking forward travel that coast by boat in a few years.

[@gregloch6743]

I grew up in Cape May. WWD was a mile from my house.

[@matteeeiscool6912]

Steve love your videos , fly safe from us all in northern Scotland .

[@skipstraut9719]

Hi Steve O I didn’t know you were a Jersey Boy! I was feeling sorry for you missing the warm Miami weather!😊

[@davidholm3961]

I miss Cape May Airport! Born and raised in NJ and learned to fly at KCDW. Used to fly down to Monmouth, Lakewood and Cape May all the time. Great diner in Cape May. I live in Texas now and the landscape here is all brown and flat! I miss the ocean!

[@caseykakuske]

Didn’t know that I knew you grew up in Wisconsin!? Where? Middleton growing up, now Madison myself. Flew from MSN to Rhinelander, WI my best friend Brendan on his their TBM91BM. Amazing aircraft that they have moved on from.

[@stillflyingovernj]

Steveo, I never knew you were a Jersey Boy (kind of)! That flight down the Jersey coastline has always been one of my favorites. Seaside and Ocean City, NJ were my childhood summer vacation spots in the 60's and 70's. That was wise to climb to 2000ft, I've passed many sea gulls "flying backwards" along the Jersey coast, as I flew past them at 500ft and 135mph (when I was young and foolish). I have a few Jersey and NY Coastline flights on my site if anyone is interested.

[@barryhumphries4514]

Steveo, very nice. Wish I could fly with you! 👀👍

[@Ultra-FlightSim]

awesome flightvlog again ! really appreciated Steve !

[@Rgreenacres]

Wow, talk about memories. My Brother was stationed at Lakehurst and I was stationed at VA Beach. We would meet at Cape May and have a blast. Thanks for sharing.

[@kevinmalloy2180]

Hi Steve, great to see you in our area. I fly a ‘46 Aeronca Champ into Cape May (WWD) frequently from South Jersey Regional (VAY). You’re right that it has a great FBO and the museum and café are well worth a visit-as is the beautiful town! And neat to hear you used to go down the shore as a youngster and trained at the USCG facility. (When I was a kid long ago in the ‘60s we went to Townsends Inlet and Sea Isle and our boardwalk was Ocean City-Wildwood was off limits literally because our strict parents felt Wildwood was…well…too wild!) Love your videos and your disciplined, safety-first flying!

[@gtr1952]

I just love the new TBM!! I teased you about one for several years, and voila! It's here!! LOL I am by no means expert on fish and/or birds, but I would just guess all those birds indicates a large amount of bait-fish in the area they might be feeding on. Then all those "boats in a row" just might be fishing for larger fish, perhaps Blue Fin Tuns, that eat a lot of those bait-fish. Whales in the area might indicate that same thing, they like the bait-fish also. Very nice flight, enjoyed that!! TBM is my #1!! 8) --gary

[@KevinRudisill]

Dude I’ve flown the 170 in to Ocean City before. Love it!

[@lt.col.joebrickmancap8371]

I love flying the Jersey Shore! It’s where grew up! Especially the VFR corridor between NY and NJ over the Hudson! Love the videos Steveo!! Keep them coming!

[@gtogeno]

Really enjoyed the tour. Live in NJ and been many other places, hard to beat the "Jersey Shore"!

[@jamesyak52]

my best friend was on the Cutter Galatin. he loved it.

[@tomnorman2668]

Awesome flight video of some pretty beaches in Jersey. I:ve never seen the Jersey shore but heard about, Looks awesome!!!. I'm in Alabama and go to Seaside, Florida to enjoy the Gulf. Thanks for the views and the ride-a-long!!! No bag needed!!!!😂

[@kennethdarby8941]

I love Beach Haven, Used to go there every summer

[@davesemak]

Great ride, I enjoyed hearing about your Coastguard experience. I’ve been aboard a couple newly built buoy tenders that were docked in Cleveland en route to their new duty station, they were built in Wisconsin

[@adiosk8411]

As a pilot, I love watching your videos... Being a former Coastie, this one was special. I'll always remember my time at Training Center Cape May.

[@bobnmarewilcox4855]

Good old Charlie Golf. Thanks for the tour of Cape May tracen. I was at Alameda in June 1966. CGC Storis WAGB 38 then COTP Long Beach as BM2 on the 40378 the last wooden 40 footer. Thanks for your service and this tour.

[@rael5469]

26:06 Oh my Gawd ! Look at those huge birds right over the runway ! They look like condors or eagles or something.

[@bruceerwin2541]

Nice, Stereo, for your employer allowing to send us your occasional low and turbo-slow videos. Beautiful, clear day photography, plus holding onto our hats (lol) in powerful crosswinds. Thanks also for your continued time and extra efforts to educate and entertain us.

[@Mr.Martini549]

A short, but very sweet flight. I lived in NJ for 2-1/2 years, but never managed to make it to Cape May. Thanks for taking us along.

[@SeanAllocca]

I learned how to fly at KBLM back in 2004, man I miss that place thanks for the B roll, it brought back a ton of memories.

[@Brandon-dh5rd]

Met you last year at Sun n Fun, I grew up in south Jersey, going to The Wildwoods all the time. Yes, the Show Jersey Shore was and is still filming out of Seaside, although they rarely go to Seaside anymore. I was also in the Air Guard out of Atlantic City, I used to go to the Coast Guard base gym all the time.

[@380Scania]

Great flight as always buddy. Missed your vlogs and thanks for pointing out the sites. Greg 🇬🇧

[@RyanONeill-g3l]

Cool, Cape May County Airport is my hometown airport. I flew a 172 Cessna out of there several times.

[@RyanONeill-g3l]

..and Wildwood is my hometown.

[@johnbecker1996]

Also born in Philly, but grew up in South Jersey. It was great to take a little tour of all the shore towns from my childhood.

[@Razorback68]

Super video!! We have lots of family and friends on the Jersey Shore around PT Pleasant!! looking forward to your next video

[@brucesmith9144]

Awesome flight and spectacular views. I am familiar with Monmouth Airport and have driven past it numerous times. Many great memories from the Jersey Shore as I lived two blocks from the beach for a couple years.

[@johnperry5102]

Ok it's been a very long time since your last video, there all great we need to see more of them please there very enjoyable thanks😊😊😊

[@darrellgordon7456]

Really enjoyed this, nice relaxing VFR hop, nice to see you travel down memory late with the USCG story

[@blown35th]

This was probably my favorite video you have made. I grew up on the Jersey Shore.And you pointed out almost everywhere that I went as a kid. I actually lived in Beach Haven west. The lighthouse you pointed out was Barnaget lighthouse, One of my favorite lighthouses still to this day, Probably because I went there so much as a kid. Also gotta say Wildwood is awesome! Great video and good to see you posting again!

[@BillyJ10]

I'm 55 years old. I have lived in N.J. my entire life. We used to go to Wildwood when I was child and returning there as an adult. The recording "Watch The Tram Car Please" is exactly the same.

[@wewk584]

camera views off the wing as you turned onto the shore line were nice and crisp.. very nice.

[@jackrakin904]

Thanks Steve for the excellent trip "down the shore". I'm born and bred in Jersey and a former resident of Monmouth Country. Really enjoyed the flight. I wished your flight path was closer to the coastline. As You might know, you flew over Coast Guard Stations in Manasquan Inlet, Barnegat Light, Beach Haven, Townsends Inlet, Ocean City, (to name a few) until you reached Cape May. Thanks again for great videos.

[@Resort_Fans]

I got my PPL at KBLM Monmouth Executive. About 15 miles south you will see giant red and white hangars. That's Lakehurst NAS where the Hindenburg disaster happened. Seeing those huge hangars was always a welcome sight knowing I was minutes away from my home airport.

[@swiftadventurer]

Stereo got all touristy on us, great! I’ve had this shoreline ride on my to-do list for a while… down from Canada. Nice to see what to expect.

[@paul91103]

Back in 1997-1998 I flew out off Allaire/KBLM for my instrument rating. I could see some of the same buildings on the field from when I was there. Finished up the rating at the McGuire AFB Flying Club. Flew as far north as Providence, RI for USMC duties. Great vid that brought back good memories. Except for NDB approaches back in the day.

[@papalilburn]

Love the intro music! Dang, what a great job of sitting her down!

[@billgalante1181]

Steve, thank you for taking us along, always a pleasure.

[@philkerber1747]

Great flight as usual Steveo. Thanks for the USCG tour. Thank you for your service! I too was in the Coast Guard as a Captain when I was younger. Patrolled the Gulf of Mexico and moved to the great lakes. It was mostly a good time but, it had it's times. Now I have lots of fun as a Captain on a Research Vessel on the Great Lakes as a Shipwreck Hunter. Keep producing those awesome flying videos. It brings me back to my flying days for sure!

[@wb8ujb]

Steve, thanks for the ride. I appreciate it very much. A "used to be" pilot, brings back memories.

Nice to see you again Steveo...nice vfr down the Jersey shore...your audio seemed to be different from past videos...enjoyed the flight.

[@rickewart5089]

Great video Steveo! It brought back many fond memories of the area. Back in the late 1970’s and early 1980’s, I was a Navy Helicopter Crewman stationed at Lakehurst Naval Air Station. One of our pilots lived in Cape May. In the summer, he and one of his Pilot buddies would take one of the squadron helicopters down to the Cape May Coast Guard Station for a weekend getaway. Being that they were required to have a qualified Crewman on board, I would always volunteer to go with them. Fun times. I now live in South Florida, and fly out of Miami Executive Airport (KTMB). I know what you mean about the difference between the air traffic along the Jersey Shore and South Florida Shore line. Like night and day.
