Flying to the base of the Sierras for lunch!
Join us on an epic brunch adventure, as we fly from Concord to Columbia Airport (O22). It’s ine of our favorite ways to go on a date!
On this channel we fly with family and friends to share the fun and excitement of aviation. We believe there is nothing more fun than hopping in a little GA aircraft and enjoying a new adventure.
Flying to a new airport, figuring out the runways, and challenging yourself as a pilot is only half the fun, the thrill of the $100 burger and the freedom to pick up and go nearly anywhere with family and friends is what makes this hobby/ addiction so special.
Tune in for more fun flights and adventures.

    Guys, I'm loving these videos. At 43:09 it's funny that he said that, because the checklist that my school had been using for years I thought it was not good. So when I was about 10hrs in, I created my own checklist for the 172 I fly. I felt it needed to be optimized so I did. My instructor gave me a compliment because he liked how it worked better and the flow made more sense. So not all the time that someone has been doing something for years and a proven method, is going to be the best way. It's just that they have been doing it for so long that they got used to working it that way. For example, I switched the doors and windows checks and added an additional seat belt and shoulder strap check before takeoff, along with another check on the windows after run-up and taxi, along with a bunch of other things,. My new checklist is great and we love it. I have it in PDF and use it on my iPad. At some point I will share it online. So I wouldn't limit myself to going with existing just because someone has proved it good for 50years. Maybe it needs to be optimized. As long as someone's new ideas are good, we are good to go! Challenge and innovate. Process improvement is a constant thing. I'm 30hrs in with all my night stuff done. I'm 52 so I want my PPL to fly because my wife and I love it. Thanks for these videos. You guys are doing a great job sharing this information! Blue skies!

You could tie down your plane there and walk out of the airport to the restaurants. They have a little beach there too in walking distance. But, I have to warn you about the fog or marine layer can come in rather quickly in the afternoon so be prepare to depart before they come in otherwise you can get stuck there. Flying under the marine layer from KHAF to the east can be dangerous due to low terrain! I almost got stuck there one time haha. You should be fine going there before noon and come back after lunch.

    Teamwork will make the dream work! Great interview that touches on passenger briefs, crew resource management and so much more. As a student pilot, I'll be sure to share this with my beautiful, supportive girlfriend and get her feedback as my first prospective passenger.

      Yes, I couldn’t agree more, she will feel as my wife did “useful” up in the air, working together being in the same page, an extra set of ears listening to the radios and extra eyes searching for traffic. You will have some awesome experiences, I look forward to hearing about them. Have fun, and thank you so much for watching!

    Been into aviation and simulators my whole life, but only recently found the motivation to change my routine enough to get into flight school, but so glad i did. Love hearing pilot stories, TY for your story and videos!

      Congrats, I’m glad you are starting flight training. Flight sim is tons of fun, definitely a unique experience, but the real thing is one of the most incredible feeling ever. Thank you for your support, there will be more pilot stories and lessons to share!

    nice love the video! I am just starting back up to finish my PPL. I had some issues with getting a DPE, so I sadly put it all down, life got in the way, and let my written expire. Hope I can get it finished in the next few months.

      Congrats on starting back up!!! Yes I waited months, and actually my checkride in March got canceled I was about to quit and hang it up. I and my instructor got me a checkride due to a cancellation. I can 100% relate to what you went through! Stick with it through the highs and the lows, I promise the experiences that you, your friends and finally will have are priceless. I kid you not flying is all I think about hahaha

I got really frustrated and almost gave up, but I was really enjoying flying and passionate about the adventures I’d be able to go on with friend and family, and my instructor got me a last minute checkride due to a cancelation

      Congrats! Best of luck to you on your checkride, I know you will crush it. Just remember relax, take a deep breath, and pay attention to the calculations in the POH. You are likely to get a question about tail winds and how they affect landing and take off distances. In the POH for what I was flying it said for every 2kts of tailwind your landing and take off distances will increase by 10%. My question had 10kts of tailwind.
