West Coast 1: Takeoff, Description & She Naps

Jaime and I finally had a chance to plan a fun West Coast Trip. Unfortunately the west was burning with bad fires and we weren't able to attempt our original plan of Grand Canyon, Sequoia National Park, California Coast, Napa Valley, Lake Tahoe, Yellowstone and Mount Rushmore.
Some fog rolled in and we departed IFR (Instrument Flight Plan) from Chicago Aurora Airport on our way to the first planned fuel stop of Dalhart, Texas on our amended planned trip. When we depart our plan is Grand Canyon, LA to rent a car, drive the coast to Napa and then airline back to LA to fly home through Sedona, Arizona.

Really miss your videos, hope you all are well and happy.

[@leeCann]

Always good to see you two. I don't know how many more adventures you have in the can. I sure do want to see all of them. There is a charisma / charm about you two that is hard to describe. Knowing you guys are out there healthy and happy is all that matters. Enjoy life and each other. Thanks for the content.

It's always fun when you two fly together. Thanks for the episode.

Kevin and Jaime thanks for sharing this video, hope everything is good with you both and family

Never tire of the sound of an early morning engine start up!

Always amazed at those that have a built in recorder in their brains, read back instructions with many parts!

I always love your videos :)

Happy Friday! An unexpected pleasure to see both of you.

So good to see you two in the cockpit again. Keep them coming!

Excited to see

That’s how my grandmother taught me to spell Mississippi. Thanks for bringing back the memory!

[@billroberts4012]

Kevin and Jamie, thank you for sharing.

[@anthonyjobusch864]

So love these guys. Followed them from the very beginning. Understand and respect everyone’s right to privacy regarding the events regarding the sale of the aircraft. Having said all that it’s becoming almost too frustrating and sad to follow anymore. Respect and loyalty does have an expiration date if not reciprocated to all their loyal fans. So many people still finding out these are old videos and asking and no response. Makes me sad to say it, but I’m sure many feel the same. Regardless, all good wishes to K and J…,,

[@timidater4803]

thats what I thought!!

[@ljavtech1479]

They don’t ever reply to viewers commenting on their videos. Pretty sad. Loyal viewers who have supported them ($$$) over the years and they get no replies. No updates.

[@davekey8630]

I totally agree, unfortunately I'm beginning to wonder if they are no longer together or some illness has happened. I saw a post that stated they had sold BC late last year. I am somewhat disappointed that they have not communicated with their followers 😔😔

[@gordonclifton2694]

Not even a farewell and a bit of an explanation about whether it's all fallen apart or maybe they're planning something new.

Hi Tony!!

Call me crazy, but that is exactly the kind of flying I enjoy the most. So looking forward to the rest!

[@fit910]

Great to see you two together in 1BC again 😁 Looking forward to following you guys on your west coast adventure.

[@profire-729]

We drove the rr 89/90 to Yellowstone then Glacier to Olympic in Washington State down the coast to Crater Lake then Yosemite. We did hit fire areas but it wasn’t until Sequoia/Kings did we get canceled. So we changed some of our itinerary and drove from Yosemite to Boulder/ Hover dam…. Long days drive. I sure would like to have a pilots license and a 1BC of my own, but for anyone doing the west coast tour, all I can say is do it while you can. You will never regret it and thank you to our 1BC Pilot & Navigator for all the views for the last couple of years. Stay safe & healthy.

[@paultaylor9939]

Always great to see you both safe trip and all the best in the future.

[@raoulsantos1522]

I have not seen any of your videos lately, glad to watch, you guys make a great couple, Jaime you look nice

[@campgroundsacrossamerica]

Just found your spot on the web and I really enjoyed your flight! Looking forward to more! I'm a student pilot now and hope to get my full certification soon. I love watching people on youtube fly. Thanks really gets me going to get done with my license. I've been trying to get this since I was 22 and now I'm 72. I'm almost there.

Glad to see you guys back.

[@garywhitby]

I've watched most of your videos and really enjoy them. Your chemistry is awesome. I fly hot air balloons and my wife and I travel around the country to attend balloon events. When my wife was in her late 40's she would nap almost every day. With a suggestion from a friend she had a check up by a heart doctor. They found that she had 98% blockage in one of her main arteries. The first symptom was napping daily. After the insertion of two stints and regular check ups, she very rarely takes naps. Just to be safe I hope that Jaime sees her doctor to get checked. Keep up the great videos. Someone may have suggested this already but I don't usually read the comments.

[@btrent9244]

Outstanding. Enjoy your trip. Good to be back in the air with 1B. 👍🇺🇸😎...

[@gawebm]

I think this is the funniest and most heart warming of all the videos you two have done.

[@nathaneverest3043]

Y’all are blessed to be able to do these things! All your hard work is paying off!

[@dcarts5616]

@@nathaneverest3043 he’s right though. Christian or not, God fearing or not, God doesn’t DO anything. He allows stuff to happen by us simply being created maybe, but He didn’t do anything to bless these people. THEY put forth the effort, they suffered studying and applying themselves, they did that. Not God.

I have missed your adventures, but sure do enjoy seeing you travel. Too bad that the smoke has changed your plans. I only watch Pilot 310.

I got the hints that IFR clearance can be repeated incompletely, and soon after for that cancel IFR. good catch. Thanks

As far as summers go, last summer was a rough one for fires out here, I am sorry it worked out that way, Kevin and Jamie. It isn't starting out good this year either. Our place will be on the market within a month, after 40 years of worrying about fire I am ready for a change in scenery. I hope you and your family are well.

I can’t wait to see the footage from Sedona! I’m planning a trip out there in the fall to check out the Grand Canyon as well, if I don’t get to do my ATP-CTP class. Hopefully I’ll be able to stay about 10 days. Love the videos guys, especially the vacation trips; it gives me ideas on cool places to go

[@christopherweldon5443]

Just did this trip in April. Coming back from west coast through Dalhart, TX was crazy bumpy. Sedona was a must see. Spectacular.

[@azcharlie2009]

I flew my first ever actual IFR approach at KDHT. Right down to minimums. We have flown that similar route a few times. However, mine and my wife's pee tanks can't go farther than a few hours. Our route was KCID - KTOP. KTOP to KLBL. Then KTCC. Then we turned south at ONM to KDMN and over to Tucson. No high altitude flying required.

[@Michael.Vendetti]

Kevin: There's another Bravo Charlie on the frequency. Jamie: That's unacceptable.
