CitationMax to the Rescue-Saves OshKosh2019!

  • What do I love about aviation? Is it the beautiful views? Or the feeling of accomplishment after a challenging flight? Or the wonder of transiting large distances in minimal time? Yes, it is all of those to some extent. But what I really love about aviation is the friendships it creates. Since my aircraft was down for maintenance, I was left with the option of skipping OshKosh 2019 or driving up there. But, CitationMax saved the day as he offered to come in from NYC and fly me up to the show in his brand new Citation M2. It was a wonderfully enjoyable time and Max is quite an accomplished pilot especially considering he just started flying four years ago! Be sure to go over to his channel and watch leg 2 where things go completely crazy!

    Came across your channel because of Max. Great to see you guys fly over my state. My MIL used to live about 2 miles from Indy Executive. Guys flew over my old stomping grounds. I was raised about 25 miles north of Grissom. Have a friend I grew up with, his dad was a mechanic in the Air Force and was stationed there. Sadly the base was closed in the late 90's early 2000. It is now an Air Reserve Base. Sometimes when there were hurricanes in the south, the military would fly their planes there to keep them out of harms way. So it was treat to drive by the base and see it fully packed with planes and fighter jets.
    FUN FACT: When the base was built, it was originally named Bunker Hill AFB because of the little town of Bunker Hill that is directly across the highway from it. But later it was renamed after Astronaut Gus Grissom.

    As a former US Navy SAR Swimmer and AW at HS-6 and CAG-11 (Enterprise), I have always had a great respect and enjoyment for all that is aviation. We had a crew concept in our squadron so 80% of all sorties were with the same 4 people. There is a trust and respect level that develops as a result. I miss it.

      ha,,,was the other way around for me. I found Max 1st when he was still "Cirrus Max" & that damn cool as hell vision jet got me hooked,,and that lead me to Greg, Steve, & Baron Pilot. And now just finished my 9th hour of flight lessons when just less than a year ago the thought of flying wasn't even a thought.

    Hey Driver! Wisconsin is my home State (albeit that I spent 17-years as an adult, on my "time and dime" in Europe). Just watched C-Max's edition of your "hitched" ride up to Oshkosh. Thanks for sharing gentlemen! Ever fly into the "Grand Geneva Hotel", Lake Geneva, WI. - 15-miles to my east (FFA ID: C02). That facility was originally the "Lake Geneva Playboy Club" (I worked there as a high school kid - the assistant to the French Chef - hired because I speak fluent French). The late, Hugh Hefner used to fly up from Chicago, in the "Big Bunny" (N590PB) ...remember? It was a "one of a kind" customized DC-9, new in 1969 ...all black, with a white Bunny logo, on the T-tail (no "Bee", lol). It has since been sold and exported to Venezuela. P.S. Max's M2 passengers often make remarks about how 'quiet" the Citation is... How does the sound-proofing compare to your Premier?

    Just love the panel in The Citation Max. Very intuitive and well positioned displays. One thing I did notice is there is a bit more background noise than the Premier1 has. Maybe it's just the audio system being used. But overall, a very nice plane and a great flight. Loved the story about riding the tanker to Bermuda. Thanks Greg for another great video.

    Retired from a company called Travelport that use to be Worldspan, Pars before that, TWA and NW out of KC started the whole thing. Delta bought into it and seemed to call the shots and things changed a lot. Computer reservation center, did hardware computer support till they outsourced my job to Romania. Took my retirement and ran.
    Now days I enjoy my motorcycle, ham radio, Taekwondo, guns and reloading, Scuba Diving and Jeeping the back roads of Arkansas, about 30 miles south of Branson, MO. Wife says too many hobbies. Not sure she would approve of me taking up flying at 69, but my son is.

    We rented a home on Lake Wawasee for 6 months, and frequently saw A-10 Warthogs flying the airspace out of Fort Wayne. Did you ever fly over that water in the F-16 during your tenure?
