These videos are awesome. It has always been a dream of mine to be a pilot. However I have a visual impairment that makes this impossible. I had a cornea transplant several years ago that definitely increased my vision, so I have a greater understanding of what it takes to fly an airplane. Flying in the right-hand seat of a private jet is definitely something I hope to do some day.
Some of these videos over Colorado are an aerial version of my travels on the ground. Greg, you pointed out Ouray. I've been there all the way from Australia with my Dad years ago. Drove there from Grand Junction. What beauty. Had lunch at the Outlaw Bar n Grill. They even had an Aussie dollar bill pinned to the wall behind the bar.
I lived in Colorado for a number of years, but I never made it to the southwestern part of the state. The mountains look very different from the Front Range, more rugged and more of them.
Love to watch how you handle the Premier. A more meticulous pilot I have never seen. You do an incredible job with the videos and I look forward to many more in the future.
Just watched several of your vids. OK, I'm impressed, envious and can't wait for your next posting. Very nice. Love the clear video and ATC (and no music)
+david barker I second those comments; nice to have quality videos with nothing but the actual sounds in the cockpit/radio traffic etc. Nothing more annoying than aviation videos that have a smarmy music soundtrack blasting over the entire video
Thanks for the "ride" ... is yours a Premier I or IA? We used to camp/RV in the Telluride and Ouray area back in the 1990-93 timeframe. God's country. The cliff off the end of Rnwy 27 is impressive from the highway below.
Thanks again for the "Best Seat" in the house. Been a while since I've ascended to the flight levels. Best office job I've had....ever. The view outside was always spectacular and at times inspiring. I spend my times these days at 8000' getting a closer look around.
Agree with others, great vids. I am now sold on the Premier. Interested to know your progression of aircraft, I see you flew an MU2. What made you decide on the Premier and is this your first Premier? I am in Melbourne Australia and glad to show you the sights should you find yourself in downunder Aus.
In a previous comment, you said you were jealous of the guys that got to fly the big stuff. I flew heavies all over the world. This looks Way more fun!..And not near the jet lag.
just my 2 cents regarding the music; I liked it on the front end as you were doing your pre-flight , etc. it kinda set the mood for the upcoming flight. Either way I get a great deal out of watching. I'm learning the cadence of ATC as I prepare to start on my instrument next year. Thanks for sharing these with us.
I live in Colorado and visit Telluride often for skiing, camping, etc. Last Dollar Road skirts the airport to the north in case you ever have the desire to ride shelf roads around the mountains - just don't look down. I agree with the rest, no music is good!
While this video is well done and provides great visuals, it would be much more interesting and educational if you'd talk through the checklist and ATC clearances.
Dan- its all relative. I'm jealous of the guys that fly the big jets. Planes are like boats-there is always somebody with something bigger. And since I don't own a boat, everyone's boat is bigger!
that's a mighty big hole off the end of that runway if you were to lose both engines. But why would you lose both engines? Probably wouldn't right? Such a beautiful flight.
Beautiful jet with beautiful scenery. Love the video and could have watched the two and a half hour version.

Very cool!

Gorgeous! I have loved flying ever since I was little. I am 61 and still love it today. Thanks for "taking us along".

Amazing video. I really enjoyed it. Also, great relaxed & professional piloting.
It sure would be nice if pilots would comment on what they were doing in the cockpit rather than just sitting silent and adjusting knobs.

david barker Thanks David! I appreciate the comments

I hear ya Moneylab. Even when there isn't much noise to hear, it seems my subscribers would much rather her wind noise than music!
Thanks for sharing, it's as close as I'm going to get to riding alone, hell I doubt I'll ever use my ASEL again
Great video. Only problem is you keep redefining the next plane I need to own!
Just curious, when did you make the switch from the laminated checklists to the electronic checklists on the MFD? Was it a software upgrade? Thanks.
a couple years ago at least. They were always there, I just wasn't that used to them.
@@gregmink Thanks for your reply. Love your videos!
Nat Geo would be jealous! Let me know if you ever do any fly overs of western Maine or New Hampshire mountains. Thanks!
What a gorgeous take off!! Thanks for the ride, Captain.

Great views! I realize this may sound like a dumb question, but how many gallons of fuel is required for a typical takeoff to 35 or 40,000 feet?

Ouray, Colorado is not pronounced Ouu-ray but Your-ray...named after an old Indian chief.
***** There you have it folks-the correct pronunciation of Ouray,

so beautiful, what a wonderful landscape. I really miss the time I flew across the USA...
hola capitán muy grandiosos vídeos saludos.!
Absolutely appreciate you posting vids like this. Definitely enjoy the "no music" format and superb quality of the video. Thanks! Buck
MegaBuckBuck1 Appreciate the comments Buck. Thanks for watching!

check my latest 25 videos for that.
Still very Proud!
Beautiful aircraft, I'd like to know with you, where do I turn on the taxi light button? Thank you for your kindness!
All the exterior lights are on the overhead panel.
Thanks you so much !
The flying, the views, the atmosphere... All great!
vfb07 Thanks for watching!
Lucky man
Great video! I love Telluride
Are you the owner or just the pilot? Either way, looks like fun to me!
DanTheSasquatch I'm both! Thanks for watching.

Haha, I may be just a tad bit jealous ;) Great plane, great flying. Keep it up!

I hear ya. Only a few more years until I start building my little Sonex kitplane. Then I will be content... For a little bit, haha
Sorry Greg. I miss the MU2.
Sometimes I do too!

Lot of money to be made in the healthcare- I men sickcare business. Private jets abound in that industry. Thanks Obama.
