As a retired Commercial Pilot I Enjoy these videos, especially going in and out of Familiar locations....Greg explains everything and must be an inspiration to lots of young folks trying to plan their future....An Air Force fighter pilot, owner of an exotic Business (Medical Equipment), drives a Porsche (they cost too much for me to learn how to spell the name !!!!) and flies that Beech Premier everywhere including the Grocery Store !!! I would hazard a guess, every other kid on the block wants exactly the same thing Greg has acquired through hard work....The key to success is Perseverance, and dedication !!!!

[@michaeldemchy7717]

Great video, Greg, really enjoy these. I especially like hearing the ATC conversations and try and build a mental picture of the traffic situation. Loved the one of the busy approach into KATL along with the "Keep hustling" instruction from the tower guy only to see the traffic that was behind you land shortly after you entered the parallel taxiway. Thanks again for sharing these.

The moral of the story.. regardless of the type of aircraft.. 50 dollar covers can save you half a mil. Maybe they should all read "Install after parking" instead of "Remove Before Flight".

Greg, I've been watching your videos regularly since I found them on KZbin. What an accomplished pilot you are. Unfortunately, I allowed my business to take me away from something I love many years ago and now as I consider retiring I'm thinking of getting back into flying. I'm hoping to find a way to make it help pay for it's self, if I can do that, because it's something I'd love to finish my available years doing. Look forward to more of your videos and the experience and training I've learned from you. Safe flying....!!

Love older war birds and my dream is someday to fly them with the Commemorative Air Force.

RE: the Bees - That swarm raised havoc that week. I was working at Landmark at the time and we had that swarm hit our location a day or two before your incident. They started by trying to create a hive on the static wick of a Hawker 700 we had parked on the ramp and then tried again on another airplane elsewhere on the ramp when we sprayed them on the Hawker. Don't remember what the second plane was because it was after my shift, but I think they hit Business Jet Center and/or Gulfstream North after that before ending up on your plane. We heard through the grapevine that something had happened at TexStar, but never heard anything beyond that. For whatever reason, that Queen and her swarm loved planes. Probably had been holed up in one of the several derelict planes that were around DAL at the time.

[@gendaminoru3195]

They ought to remove the derelict planes or spray them down on occasion if in long term storage. But usually those get inlet plugs etc.

[@CAPFlyer]

Most of them do have plugs on them, but there's still always openings (gear bays, air inlets, etc.) that give nice cozy places for bees and wasps to make their homes. Not a ton that can be done about it.

Subject to the deductible, the General AV policy does include coverage for insect, mice, vermin and animal damage. These are specifically excluded from homeowners policies however. Ground risk hull insurance , not in motion would cover this risk.

i wonder if the insurance actually covered the damage or that was an out of pocket expense as it did not happen while the aircraft was in motion. Some insurance policies fine print can really screw one over.

[@Newzchspy]

Dillon Jackson would make no sense to not cover a newer plane with no " on the ground hull insurance while not in motion" it's similar to comprehensive for your vehicle. It would cover what occurred so owner would not get stung. It's a standard part of most aviation policies. Think fire, theft, hail, animals, etc.

[@dillonjackson1982]

Okay, that's interesting. Funny enough, one of the aircraft at my flight school got damaged by a fuel truck and the schools insurance did not cover it.

Great video as always. Wow, 440k will buy a lot of intake and exhaust covers. The Mass air guard's F-106 had a huge plastic tail cone cover. One winter night the ramp was covered in snow, flying was cancelled, and the crew chiefs attached a rope to one of them and pulled each other around in one with the " Follow me" truck. Not the safest thing to do, but fun memories.

Great story about the bee.... I am a trucker, had a swarm take up residence in and around my exhaust stack back in the late '80's when I was a rookie driver...

Great video! Never get tired of watching your videos.You always find time to mention something of interest besides talking to ATC. The vectors for landing provided a very nice scenic view of the Ocala area and the Gulf. I guess being stung by a bee is not as bad as having to wait 6 weeks for your engine overhaul and $440,000 later!
