We Landed On Route 66! Flying to Amboy, CA In The Bonanza!

Today we fly from Scottsdale, AZ to Amboy, CA with Owen Leipelt (@SJCSpotter). It was crazy to basically land on historic Route 66! It was so much fun exploring this old ghost town and visit Roy's Motel and Cafe! We flew in a 1990 Beechcraft Bonanza A36, which is currently for sale. You've probably seen Matt Guthmiller's video, which inspired us to want to visit as well. Such an amazing trip!

I have a cool aviation story regarding Amboy. I was in a flight of four UH-60L Blackhawk helicopters out of 3-227AHB 1CAV. A little bit past Blythe, CA on our way to Fort Irwin one of our birds had a chip light for intermediate gearbox. The entire flight did an emergency landing about 3/4 of a mile outside of Amboy onto Route 66. We sat for three hours waiting for the crewchiefs to check out the gearbox and the Commander authorized a one time flight into Barstow Dagget. The pilots went into Amboy to the Gas Station next to Roys to get some water for the passengers and crew. The owner saw all of these soldiers and asked if we broke down, and the pilots pointed at a bunch of Blackhawks on the side of the road. His mouth dropped, it was hilarious. We had a crowd of tourists watch us when we took off and did a complimentary flyby on our way out. Fun times.

[@thomasryan8218]

You guys are amazing, it's nice to see young people work hard to achieve goals.

[@JRAviation]

Thank you so much!

[@shawnvos5731]

Amazing video guys

[@stevenpdxedu]

I've driven through Amboy in the early 1970's . . . it looks very much the same as it did. I think you guys had allot more fun though. Thanks for sharing.

[@MarksKicksOnRoute66]

This warms my heart to see y'all promoting Route 66! Keep up the awesome content guy's!

[@FranciscoSaintClairSousaFilho]

Greetings from Brazil!!! I am delighted with the videos of you guys.

[@stinkintoad]

That was really cool. You guys are an inspiration.

[@charleskellim1335]

Love to watch you fly, Owen. You should film it more often. Be safe, friend.

[@JRGarage]

Yes, more to come!

[@dave2036]

Finally a new video! Aircraft tech that loves cars, long time sub to the OG channel!

[@anthonyrstrawbridge]

This content makes me laugh augh along with the funny creators.

[@frcgfd107]

Get your butts into flight training, I don't want to hear any excuses! Great video, see what you have to look forward to and you won't have to wait for Owen to show up in town!

[@JRAviation]

Yes, we actually started ground school 2 weeks ago. Written coming up soon!

[@jeremyhill2243]

What an amazing video. The Bonanza pilot was excellent.

[@leilamarisadeoliveira3959]

Jr seu Air plane e omais bonito que já vi vc tem muito bom gosto na escolha da pintura 👍👍❤️❤️

[@joeglennaz]

Great Video!

[@tk5067]

I knew a guy 30 years ago that liked to fly his A36 Bonanza that way. Yanking and banking, hi-performance take-offs, all of that. Then he flew it into the side of a mountain with his entire family aboard in bad weather. Old pilot or bold pilot. You don't get to be both. N3869A

[@cobracontent8761]

😂😂😂😂

[@jonasbaine3538]

Sounds like vfr into IMC foolishness

[@petermendoza1170]

That was beautiful guys!😉👏

[@kadenfunk8548]

I am going for Commercial aviation at UND. So I love your channel.

[@JRGarage]

I’m a simple guy, I see Bonanza, I click like👍

[@JoeMarcello123]

I'd love to see Bush plane content!!!!

[@moseskelly2886]

This is another outstanding video for the books Jeffrey and Christian!!!😁 I love these Bonanza Beechcraft A-36 it's lovely. 😎 I have to say wearing a Cyrus shirt was awesome that takes confidence.👌👏 I am still striving to become a pilot I'm never giving up whatsoever. My goodness that's incredible how you all got to land at route 66. I'd love to do that to be honest. 🤙💯 #Aviation, #Passion for Aviation🛫🛩✈🛬🚁

[@JRAviation]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@moseskelly2886]

@@JRAviation Yeah it was a really nice video!

[@fisherh9111]

JR Aviation needs its own R44! Get on it guys.

[@JRAviation]

That would be epic!

[@ORINP76]

This is My favorite video even better than the “I bought a Ferrari when I was 17.”

[@andystevens7557]

That was pretty chill.

[@Airship413]

Nice!!!

[@B00GPowell]

To conduct a fly-by "ow recon" has saved many pilots from Serious damage to their airplane. Good technique, Great habit

[@diamondda6254]

[@gregjantz7741]

Hi my Lamont you fly your plane into ogallala Nebraska airport. Flying always been my dream

[@vancinhoplays]

ohhhhhh my what a flight!

[@JRAviation]

It was awesome!

[@scottiencali]

I dunno how pilots talk that fast and know what they are saying and what they say back..id be "Umm this is umm me..i wanna go west..i think? over to that place...can i?" Great vids..love the flight stuff!! Ohh are you guys gonna go up in the helicopter? Get some footage in that?

[@JRGarage]

They definitely talk fast, but practice makes perfect. We’re learning as we speak!

[@mikesp1]

i tried to stop in Amboy for gas on a motorcycle ride from Kingman Az to Palmdale Ca but they had closed for the day by the time i got there

[@roberthanson6792]

Is this plane still for sale?

[@golfbravowhiskey8669]

Y’all finish that PPL and get to living the dream.

[@JRAviation]

Started ground school a couple weeks ago! Working toward the written then time for flying:)

[@johnaramirez1816]

Zero G! Wow 🤩!

[@shaneduffy4853]

Next video.... so we got a call from the FAA 😂😂

[@billholden20]

At 11:22, I was confused when I was the helicopter so close and at the same altitude. I thought, Is that allowed? At first, I didn't realize you knew each other. Also, when you fly into the Amboy airstrip, is there a certain frequency you have to call into to make sure you're not going to land on top of someone else? I'm no pilot, but I listen to the Air Bands on my ham radio sometimes. I came to this video because I am an avid Route 66 traveler. I would have really enjoyed getting to see a plane land in Amboy while I was there! Thank you for the great video!

[@shotbylukeb]

Yes, most areas that have random airstrips do have a frequency called a CTAF (Common Traffic Advisory Frequancy) Basically its playing marco polo with other traffic

[@LukePylypciw]

When is the training starting in the cirrus?

[@JRAviation]

Knocking out ground school and soon the written

[@caedenmurray84]

My smooth Piper archer brain didn’t like hearing 155 kts referred to as slow😂😂

I think you have the wrong gram listed

[@xCLIPxGODx]

Nice!

[@rajarora118]

Hi

[@nobleequipment1]

Your somethen else bros

[@geezuss1114]

If the tower controller was "curt" with you, it probably had aomething to do with your high performance departure with a light plane full of passengers.

[@henrytischbein155]

How is this legal

[@jts1234]

fly to kmyv some time will take you to lunch,,,,,,,

[@mxritacco2892]

This is the first time I can say first on here

[@JRAviation]

Yes indeed!

[@CheckSixAviation]

It's hard for the average person to understand the amount of blood, sweat, and tears that go into creating video content for KZbin or any video sharing platform. The Force is strong with both of you. ;o) Keep an eye out for some of my content. I'll be uploading new stuff very soon.

[@nowuknowthis1903]

Don’t think it legal to land on CA road without declaring an emergency.

[@B00GPowell]

Fat fingers...was typing "LOW Recon" (or tried to!)

[@ionhunter]

8:58 My kind of girl.

[@tropicthndr]

Can’t do that in a Cirrus, what, why not?. I don’t even like the Cirrus for its reputation in eng failures and nasty habit of dropping out of the sky in the pattern but I don’t see why you couldn’t do the same landing. Anyway when you build a plane with the extra care that’s put into a Bonanza you don’t need a parachute, I hope they keep up this philosophy.

[@lesliemorgan8504]

It's actually pronounced "ROOT" 66, but hey poTAYto, poTAHto. doesn't matter how you say it all that matters is the definition.

[@kevinwhitcomb4495]

You guys didn’t really “land” on 66, could you legally not do it?

[@samwill8276]

First

[@lifeclips3329]

Lol he said full is tank instead of tank is full

[@howarddietrich6018]

Not really route 66. Been repainted for media.

[@deani2431]

Click bait. You landed on the dirt strip….not the highway.

[@misterx8592]

Spoiled rich kids….meh

[@hillock10]

So you saw a dead town. Is that the most exciting thing you can do in life? Boring!!
