Passed my PPL checkride 1 week ago today! Took my wife up today as my first passenger today! Then Aviation101 drops a video today! It's been a good day :-)

[@TGAV8]

Congratulations

The 150 is beautiful! Congratulations on the job.

A gorgeous retro look.

[@rileymoutier2056]

Hey Josh! Was taxiing out in the citation in Kingman when y'all landed. We picked up a significant amount of mixed ice at 11,000 while holding getting into IGM, had to deploy the boots 3 times to break it all off after only doing one lap in the hold. Glad y'all made it in safe

[@DC-nc6vt]

Another great flight. Love the new paint job on the 150. Chelsea I found a Cessna brochure I had from 1973. The cost new for a 150 Commuter was $12,550 and a new Skyhawk was $15,875! Blue skies to both of you!

[@davidswelt]

Well, median income was at a different level too. When plugged into an inflation calculator, one gets that this price for a 172 in $112,500 in 2024 dollars. That compares to $400,000 for an actual new 172. Now, of course, that 172 provides more convenience and comfort -- glass panel cockpit, injected engine, and so on. So perhaps the 172 from back then compares better to a bare-bones trainer airplane, but I fail to find a 4-seater that's available new and provides similar ruggedness and all-around utility... I guess general aviation has become a more exclusive endeavor.

Great video! Josh, your editing is amazing! Love watching you two in these videos!

[@doitTD]

As someone who has been in a similar situation I understand how great Chelsea handled this flight and the significance of communicating with Josh in flight. It gives you a sense of comfort in a stressful situation and also reduces nerves. The fact that the lead plane is someone that she trust dearly with her life, made her be able to fly in such adverse weather that she mentioned she would usually wait for it to clear before flying.

[@chadgautier1004]

@Aviation101 - so you know…my wife, son and I love your channel! I love that “Otto” pilot is sitting next to you with his iconic smirk. Nice to see the Airplane! nod. Hopefully neither of you had the fish!

[@FlyingWildAZ]

Beautiful paint job on that '66 One Fifty, just gorgeous. I miss my '67 but she gave up her life to save mine. Glad to see you guys kept route selection in mind to mitigate risk. Been to many of the airports you guys went and flown my Fifty across the entire continent several times, each was a great adventure. RIP N3131J! Fly safe!

[@VassilliHD]

Josh. I've been following your channel since the days that 80991 was still brown. I'm sorry to say I've missed the past few years of videos. But to see what you've done to 80991 with the beautiful new Glass cockpit made my day. Beautiful plane sir.

[@anotherdayltd8243]

I’m currently recreating this flight in MSFS2020 because I always have trouble deciding new routes to fly! I’ve completed the first two legs and have worked hard on learning to create the flight plans on the GPS. Definitely a fun learning tool and following along with your journey has been neat! Getting over those mountains in a 172 was challenging! Thanks for sharing your route so those of us without a PPL can follow along at home!

[@DonForrest-wl1tm]

Always a fun watch. The views were breath taking. Thank you both for sharing. God's care and Blessings to Josh and Chelsea.

[@cq7415]

This is a good and fun video. Love the weather challenges you both went through. Chelsea is a sweetheart. Thanks for sharing.

[@Fly_With_Henry]

10:30 Two true pilots loving the adventure. Great job guys!

[@PhreddCrintt]

You two are just magic. Happy Landing folks. You might want to get the Dzus fastener seats checked on the oil access panel on Chelsey's 150. In flight, they are 'pulling' from the fuselage due to the low pressure over the cowling. As an ex-RAF aircraft 'tech', I'd be a lot happier if that cowling were flush when in flight. 😊

[@omarjohnson3411]

Loved Chelsea's "Flying Pig" but Josh's co-pilot is a classic! Just needs the smile face......

Outstanding Josh! What a blast! We all want a girlfriend-fiancé-wife who flies. You are a fortunate man sir! Looking forward to the next one!

[@bill_yowell0113]

I've been watching your videos for years now. Still love to see your adventures. This one brought back memories for me too. Used to live in Bullhead City on the Colorado River not far west of Kingman. Used to spend time nosing around the airport just to see what happened to be there. I think I just missed you guys as I had to move back east a little over 2 years ago. Keep up the great work!

Great video Josh and Chelsea. Am a Cockpit Club member so I had already seen the full length but it just keeps getting better the more I watch. Looking forward to more great content.

Chelsea's 150 is probably the prettiest I've ever seen!! Inside and out! ❤ So was this flight done in February? I was surprised to see the snow-capped tops. Excellent video!!!

Great video, good mixture of cockpit view exterior views from the airplane with landscapes, mountains and weather all around. Gives us viewers a little situational awareness. So enjoyable.

How cool, the C-150 I first flew and soloed in 51 years ago was N3057X. Cool. Nice plane Chelsea.

[@easttexan2933]

Thanks for sharing Josh. Your approach to flying in minimal weather serves the GA community very well. Unfortunately too many don't understand the risks involved around weather and just go with "aw, it be alright. we fine". End up on Probable Cause videos.

Just a shared thought on supporting. I've watched Josh it seems like forever LOL It actually was even long before the channel name change. I also just love it that Chelsea and Josh found each other. That's so cool that there may be some divine intervention happening there. LOL I just think its all awesome, and I would love to support the whole thing. But, I'm also a guitar player and singer/songwriter. I also build/repair guitars. I subscribe to about 220 channels, 2 memberships, 1 (all-in) Patreon. This time of year I also have some Subs to watch my Buffalo Bills football, I've been a bills fan since 1960 when I was 8. Next year I go to our second New Stadium Opening in my lifetime!! So, I have to pick what I can afford to support. In my current situation, I'm maxed out right now. But, next shift, Av_101 is #1 on the list!! Have a great day Y'all!! 8) --gary

The longest formation flight involving Cessna 172 aircraft took place on September 17, 2023. A group of 10 Cessna 172s flew a distance of 1,250 nautical miles (approximately 2,315 kilometers) from a starting point in the United States to a destination in Canada. This flight set a new record for the longest formation flight conducted exclusively with Cessna 172s. The achievement highlighted the coordination and precision required for such a long-distance formation flight with a fleet of light general aviation aircraft.
