I just can't get the 70 folks who disliked this video. I would love to fly with Steve some time. His skill, poise and relaxing tone make these videos a joy to watch.
I don’t get it either I personally believe it’s people who are super jealous so instead they hate rather than learn and grow to become better so they too can live the dream.
Steveo, with about 2,500 hrs under my belt, not as a pilot, but as a USAF navigator, and nearing a couple hundred as an instrument-rated private pilot, I find your videos to be just about best out here on RUclips. Relaxed, but focused and attentive, on top of your game, even in busy airspace like Orlando. Keep up the great work, never get complacent, stay safe, and keep showing us how it's done!
Always loved flying at night So many old salts felt it was not safe I feared the reliability of the plane Wouldn't fly during the day!! The gift of flight PA32 PLT
Nice scooter! I just bought my 12-year-old daughter a Ninebot E12 for Christmas!! Also, I’ve been using those PIVOT cases on my iPad mini and my iPad Pro for a few years now and they’re the best cases I found especially for cockpit use!!
That's so different from flying big jets! I never regret leaving commercial flights behind to fly those small planes. There's no glamour, but there's peace of mind!
ORL executive is my hometown airport. I learned to fly there in 1967 and hangered a C310 there for a few years. Coyotes are a fixture there. They have been there for years and in the winter are often seen relaxing (and enjoying the heat!) on top of the taxiway marker light holders. And surrounding by lakes, I'm not surprised to see an alligator there!
Stevo, thank you for taking us that are not pilots with you. I have been a Tech Ops Crew Chief for AA / Envoy for 31 years now and have about 10 hours on a 172 and some SoCal hang gliding time and some Texas Power Parachute time... You sure make flying the TBM look soooo easy. I know it’s not, but wow this was one of your best videos. Very relaxing... Thank you for all you do to take us with you...You are a true professional, and excellent pilot...👍
Mr. Steveo; God bless you, you are the best pilot in the world, plus you have the best brilliant assistance next to you, God bless you both... Respectfully; Andy
You, Aviation 101, and Missionary Bush Pilot are literally my favorite aviation channels. I hope I can make as good of content as you guys at some point.
The clearance controller was the first of a few that I have impressed me on how clear she enunciated the clearance! Most rattle off the clearance, but she was very crisp!
Actually spoke clearly and enunciated her words properly. No nasal rapid fire speaking and or garbled/mumbled communication. What a pleasure to hear a real professional.
The turbine engine. Small in size but BIG on power and very efficient. Just think if we had these back in WWII- a whole different story. Therapy- yes it is, very much so and so is riding motorcycles. Steve, you make this look so easy and smooth. Another great flight.
Steveo, you said it right! When I am flying, it is the most peaceful and enjoyable time, thinking of nothing below and taking in the enormity of my surroundings. People that don't fly can't comprehend this phenomena that we as pilots go through, leaving ALL below is so rejuvenating!
Thanks. I’m a long term casual learner, so I’ll have to look up a few things you said about the engine (use mobile sims with the 737-800). The most challenging thing is following the turbohyperspeed speech between ATC and you-but I’m getting there. Actually, that’s the 2nd hardest; 1st is remembering it. Thanks for a great video.
Therapy for the soul. Sunset flight in my Quicksilver MX still me best memory. October sunset and the full moon rising over about a half hour. Last of the guys to land. Fire going in the pit. Glad I can revisit that flight anytime I want. N.E.OH Bob
LIVING THE DREAM!! Love your videos. My number one passion in life was to become a pilot. But sometimes you have to play the cards your dealt with. Closest I got was 3 flight lessons then 9/11 happened. Never had the chance to finish. Your videos are good reminders of the dreams I had growing up. Keep up the good work and stay safe up there.
Sometimes it works out. I never went the pilot route because of self-confidence issues, and we never had RUclips to show us what the job was ‘really like’. Two years ago I was considering leaving my job to go into ATC training. Now COVID has many of them furloughed! Dodged that bullet...
Mrs. Steveo; God bless you, you are the greatest influence video instructor in the world. I still can't understand a lot of the conversation but I know that have to be about directions, and altitude to make sure you won't crash the plane... Anyways, god bless you. Respectfully; Andy
I'm only a pilot in my dreams (MSFS 2020), but ever since you showed that little trick with VS until your speed drops to the Vy speed, I use it all the time!! Thanks!
You have to be very sure on getting back to it to the VS to switch over. If you are real busy with aviate- navigate- communicate it may be safer to do FLC on climb as you don’t want to add recover from stall to your workload. This flight was very relaxed and he had tile . Great video.
@@brettboyes3002 Indeed. Super busy airspace, I just take the time to scroll the wheel to select the airspeed on FLC. But I'm not usually that busy and I imagine telling a non-pilot passenger to push the FLC button when the air speed gets down to whatever I'm looking for. Gives them something fun to do.
Great flight Steve. Reversing the sun set that’s pretty cool. As a private ppl I’ve not flown at night and don’t think I would without an instrument rating. 👍
In 1959 I saw a Delta C 47 abort a takeoff one Saturday afternoon while I was standing on top of some portable manual steps used for deplaning passengers off DC 7 when they arrived
I cannot fly a plane (they say you need good vision to fly!!) but I agree flying is relaxing in general. Walking through check in, security and even in the airline lounges it can be stressful but walking down the air bridge there is a sense of relaxation that kicks in which only increases until you are in the air. If I could fly a plane or get someone to take me up in a plane to fly it with them I would jump at the chance.
You’re videos are wonderful. Just from watching your videos, you’ve helped me and my understanding on how to communicate with ATC! You’re communication is swift and straight to the point. Great job dude keep up the great work.
Amen, best time to fly, cool sunset into night..., best flgith i ever had was in a B1B 3 of us in formation at fl330, from Dyess to Big Bear via the rockies at sunset..
Stevo , your videos are so good that I watch quite a few of them twice. You have the only videos where I get the feeling I know what is actually going on. Your ability to manage all the instruments , the radio , and fly while describing whats going on to the viewer is unique to say the least.
nice ride along commentary, I miss flying, and loved night flying, LA to SAC all at night in C182 was great. thanks, been a long time since Ive watched you.
Freakin Awesome!!! It's been so long since I've flown. My first night flight in a Piper Warrior, location Apple Valley Airport Southern California High Desert and it felt like the ground was coming up at me... Loved every minute of my flight experiences.
We have a HD 4K projector with a big cinema screen and that's the best way to watch your videos. Both the quality of the sound and picture is great. I know this video is about a year old but I still go back in time once in a while to watch them (again). I also sometimes fly your routes in the MSFS simulator on VATSIM. Pilotedge is not available in your area so VATSIM is the second best. Anyway, thanks for sharing your great videos, appreciate it!
I did part of my IFR Checkride in to Orlando Exec - Broke out at 820' on the VOR approach, with the MDA being 800' - this was in 2002 so things I am sure have changed.
Thanks for the clear, educational explanations of what you are doing. Great audio for learning the phraseology with ATC which helps me with my training for IFR flying.
Hi Stevo, PLEASE READ AND COMMENT. I love your skillset, please keep a continual lookout for other traffic, way too many pilots rely on ATC for separation. Also always have somewhere to land in the event of an engine failure. In my opinion, it is equally important in a multi-engine aircraft, let alone a single-engine one. Sure you really do have a busy aircraft to fly but you as pilots we must never fail to continue to apply basic POB/aircraft survival skills. While flying I have made mistakes, I also saved lives. I know which one I prefered.
Watching the fueling at the end really gives you an idea of how the weight of the fuel affects the plane when you use more fuel from one wing over the other. You can see the left wing get weighed down by the load then balance out at the end.
More than a decade of broadcasting experience, and this vid leaves me speechless. Fantastic transition into night flight. Thanks for the right seat view! Happy 2021! ✈️😎👍
My daughters bought me a discovery flight as a Christmas present because I keep talking about how great would it be to get my pilot’s license now that I’m retired
Chances are that you will get it. It's not unusual that people get into aviation shortly after their retirement from their normal careers. Especially those who find retirement too boring after many years of intense work-related duties. The only thing you need to be aware that studying doesn't go at the same speed compared to young people, but if you count with that in advance, you'll be fine and you will like the learning process too.
Now that's my kind of night flight! That plane is a beauty. Very expensive to own and operate as variable costs of $360k, total fixed costs of $140k and an annual budget of $500k
Absolutely..... should have your lady along. The sunset, the dimming sky, soft tones, and love in her eyes. Any man's dream .
the best part of steveo videos are when he asks if we are enjoying the flight and reacts as if he heard our answer xd
I just can't get the 70 folks who disliked this video. I would love to fly with Steve some time. His skill, poise and relaxing tone make these videos a joy to watch.
Onlyn a few if any. It is the RUclips algorithym at work.
I don’t get it either I personally believe it’s people who are super jealous so instead they hate rather than learn and grow to become better so they too can live the dream.
Shoot, me too. I’d certainly fly with Steveo. An excellent, VERY conscientious professional driver…
As someone who has accidentally disliked videos that I actually liked, I would suggest it may be just that: accidental
It almost had to be the algorithm or accidental hit, fat fingered.
Steveo, with about 2,500 hrs under my belt, not as a pilot, but as a USAF navigator, and nearing a couple hundred as an instrument-rated private pilot, I find your videos to be just about best out here on RUclips. Relaxed, but focused and attentive, on top of your game, even in busy airspace like Orlando. Keep up the great work, never get complacent, stay safe, and keep showing us how it's done!
Flying alone: relaxing. Flying alone at night with the panels lights: Therapeutic. Thanks for another smooth flight Steveo!
Great video. Agreed on the time of night being ideal for flying.
@@PilotDaveLI I wouldnt exactly say it's ideal. It's beautiful but most pilots tend to prefer to see where they're going :)
Always loved flying at night
So many old salts felt it was not safe
I feared the reliability of the plane
Wouldn't fly during the day!!

18:07 "I hope you guys are feeling romanced." 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
I love that Stevo still finds flying exciting and beautiful. A man who clearly loves his job!
But why wouldn't he? Flying is amazing!
That's so different from flying big jets! I never regret leaving commercial flights behind to fly those small planes. There's no glamour, but there's peace of mind!
Enjoyed the scenery, interesting to see how you navigate , I'm a marine pilot, retired, and its not too dissimilar to what I'm used too. Thanks .

When I used to fly Convair 580's, we used to say: "As long as she's leaking oil, she has oil."
Same saying for Land Rovers ;) different machines, same attitude :)
@@RidingTusCanY except you need to buy two. one is to left at lift other is to use as daily driver.
I use to fly DC3's and c47's. Use to put a 5 gallon bucket under each of those to big ol radials.
As long as you smell the fuel , she has fuel ?
@@linanicolia1363 No.
Flying is DEFINITELY therapy! Nothing like leaving the surface of the earth for a little while! Night flights are the BEST!
Also, love the time lapse of the refueling. Awesome to see the wings sink down!
I got my ASEL at Orlando, glad to see familiar landscapes, loved it when you flew to Cedar Key too as I have flown in there too

My Grandma and Grandpa live on Lake Okeechobee neat to see it from the sky thanks for the comfortable ride @Steveo1Kinevo
Beautiful sunset flight and a great landing. From your pilot friend in Kokomo, Indiana. Take care and fly safe. Your RUclips friend, Walt Fisher.
You, Aviation 101, and Missionary Bush Pilot are literally my favorite aviation channels. I hope I can make as good of content as you guys at some point.
+1 for Missionary Bush Pilot -- that guy flies nutz.
@@mattjhsn I'm amazed he can get off the ground with the weight of his cast iron balls. Some of those strips he flies into are nuckin futs.
I must agree. My 1 year plan is to start a similar channel.
Brings back memories. Used to fly out of Opa Locka and Ft. Lauderdale. Many night flights -- best time to fly!
The clearance controller was the first of a few that I have impressed me on how clear she enunciated the clearance! Most rattle off the clearance, but she was very crisp!
Actually spoke clearly and enunciated her words properly. No nasal rapid fire speaking and or garbled/mumbled communication. What a pleasure to hear a real professional.
It probably helped there wasn’t an awful lot else going on...
The turbine engine. Small in size but BIG on power and very efficient. Just think if we had these back in WWII- a whole different story. Therapy- yes it is, very much so and so is riding motorcycles. Steve, you make this look so easy and smooth. Another great flight.

Steveo: Are you enjoying the flight?
Me: Hell yeah!
Steveo: Good:)
Love the RVing America video with your dad.2012ish. Great work Steve
Awesome video. I have heard, "stay ahead of the airplane" so many times. You're the first one I've seen that explains exactly what that means. Thanks.
I agree with you Steveo there's nothing better for the soul than a golden hour flight into night.
Therapy for the soul. Sunset flight in my Quicksilver MX still me best memory. October sunset and the full moon rising over about a half hour. Last of the guys to land. Fire going in the pit. Glad I can revisit that flight anytime I want. N.E.OH Bob
My first night flight! Thank you and God Bless Steve!

Always love a night flight. I use to haul freight 5 nights a week and loved it. Air is usually calmer and less traffic.

Thanks so much.
I really enjoyed the flight.
I wish I would have learned how to fly years ago.

Hear hear👍🏾
Wow, great video, great commentary, and all the views. I lived in South Florida for 12 years, and it is great to see it from the cockpit!
Only in Florida NOTAM: caution alligators operating on the airport...
could be an issue if the gator was on the runway

About the best night panel lightning yet, beautiful the sunset and ground lights, great dialog. Thanks for sharing, Steveo.
Nice flight. I have gotten so much better with my ATC communications from listening to you! Please keep the videos coming. Happy New Year!
Agreed. He runs it tight on readback
Thank for the video, glad to hear you were able to get your maintenance issues repaired.👍🇺🇸
Thanks for sharing this beautiful view including a gorgeous sunset. Glad to find your videos “Steveo!”

Great flight Steveo. Taking my notes on getting clearances and working the autopilot. You're the man.
nice ride along commentary, I miss flying, and loved night flying, LA to SAC all at night in C182 was great. thanks, been a long time since Ive watched you.
Steveo's a bit of an aviation rock star!

Even being on the ground gives me the feeling of being your co-pilot thank you
Thanks Stevo! I remember my first couple of night flights. It was in the SFO Bay Area. Busy! Beautiful.
Flying is definitely therapeutic. It's the most fun I've had with my clothes on.
Wait until you fly with your clothes off!😁😅
Thanks for continuing to explain stuff even now. I learn something new every video and enjoy every one.

Love how the wings are going down during refueling. Nice evening flight and awesome sunset
That really was a spectacular flight. Coastline profiles, sunset etc! !! !!!
Thanks for the clear, educational explanations of what you are doing. Great audio for learning the phraseology with ATC which helps me with my training for IFR flying.
I flew at night with my dad for the first time just a couple of days ago and I loved it!
I love how the clearance delivery controller at Orlando is very clear and took her time giving you clearance.
Flat earth killer when the sun comes back into view with increased altitude.

@@andytaylor1588 Ha Ha Thats funny...
Not enough grey matter inside their hollow heads to realize the significance of that....
Im offended.
Hi Stevo, PLEASE READ AND COMMENT.
I love your skillset, please keep a continual lookout for other traffic, way too many pilots rely on ATC for separation. Also always have somewhere to land in the event of an engine failure. In my opinion, it is equally important in a multi-engine aircraft, let alone a single-engine one. Sure you really do have a busy aircraft to fly but you as pilots we must never fail to continue to apply basic POB/aircraft survival skills.
While flying I have made mistakes, I also saved lives. I know which one I prefered.
Wow looks like Nice Spring like Weather and Yes Enjoying the flight. Here in Vancouver BC nothing but rain for days ahh well
I'm not a pilot, but I've found your videos to be good therapy/entertainment during this crazy 2020.
“Therapy for the soul”. I call it Aerotherapy”. Happy new year!
First time I have watched you Steveo...brought back some great memories of flying in Orlando..
Dean UK
Great flight. No passengers no gimmicks just clean flyin
Sunrise, sunset... always the best. Smooth air to you in 2021!!!
Watching the fueling at the end really gives you an idea of how the weight of the fuel affects the plane when you use more fuel from one wing over the other. You can see the left wing get weighed down by the load then balance out at the end.
I like how when they refueled the plane you could see it squat side to side as it got full. Pretty cool :)
Hi from the UK. That was so beautiful. Thankyou. Pleased the Gator was dealt with as for the Cyote I belive they can be a bit Wylie.....
Best smooth Golden Hour vlog I have enjoyed so far, thanks for sharing from the Netherlands Europe Steveo!
I tell my friends that flying is both therapeutic and euphoric. Love your channel Steve!
You're a lucky man, Steve. Especially being able to fly such a great aircraft.
Beautiful flight and video. Thanks for capturing it. Your best work.
