    Great video, Bruno. Nice setup. My N2885A is now at the shop getting its upgrades - can't wait to see the final results. Blue skies and tailwinds. - Mike

      Hey Mike! Nice to see you around here, buddy :) Saw your bird in the hangar the other day, and it's going to look great! Happy to take you up anytime while your plane is grounded. Cheers!

      @@FlyWithBruno Thanks for the invite. I might take you up on that. Could join you as safety pilot if you need one for IFR.

    This is a great video, Bruno! I love Brookhaven. Flew to that airport on my discovery flight and haven't looked back since! I'm glad I came across your content, especially since you're a fellow New York pilot. Keep it up and looking forward to more.

      Thanks buddy! Really appreciate the feedback and the support. Brookhaven is now my second home, and if you're ever around let me know and we'll meet up!

    Nice Cheetah! My son and I own a 77 Grumman Tiger AA-5B based out of Denver, Colorado. We love our little Grumman! We just replaced our A/I and HSI with Garmin G5's and love the capabilities of those units. Makes VFR and IFR flying a breeze! We also had a complete panel update done as well, replacing the plastics with aluminum and adding a USB charge port, etc. Well worth the investment.
    Fly safe and fly often!

    • @FlyWithBruno
      @FlyWithBruno  4 года назад

      Thanks Gordon! The Grummans are amazing! My "grumman life" started just 5 months ago, but I couldn't be happier with the Cheetah (ok, maybe I'd be a bit happier with more useful load haha). I considered the G5s for the upgrade as well, but ended up going with the Aspen after discussing it with my A&P. Next on my list is an USB charge port like you did, plus a new Engine Monitor and maaaaaybe an AP.
      Blue skies and tail winds, man!

    Great video, Bruno. Very well done. Nice piloting too, in busy complex airspace. Congratulations on your upgrade. After 2.5 months of down time, it must have been sweet to fly again.

    Just be sure the latch doesn't freeze, it would be embarrassing to be locked inside your own plane. ;)

    • @FlyWithBruno

      LOL, I'll make sure to remind a certain pilot about that!

    Hopefully a spot at FRG will open soon. Astoria to Shirley gives me a headache just thinking about it. Beyond that the plane looks awesome. I got my private and instrument at FRG. Your videos have brought back some incredibly fond memories. Thanks!

    • @FlyWithBruno
      @FlyWithBruno  3 года назад +1

      Thanks buddy! And yeah, I've spent A LOT of time on the 495 rush hour traffic just to get to the airport... all worth it though, flying makes up for everything else :) Fly save and blue skies, my friend!

    Holy crap, you live in Astoria but your plane is in Brookhaven? That's so far away! Thankfully, I fly out of KOAK and we never have to worry about frost when arriving at the ramp lol.

    Hi. I'm looking for a plane to buy in Canada. But I really don't know how much it's gonna cost me in hourly, insurance, maintenance. My budget is not big.

    • @FlyWithBruno
      @FlyWithBruno  4 года назад

      Hey there! I’m not sure about the costs of onwership in Canada, there are a lot of variables to consider and I’m not familiar with the rules and needs in the country. In the US, I find that the hourly cost for the plane drops to about 1/3 of the cost of renting (after purchase), including maintenance, parking, fuel and insurance. Hope this helps!
