So here I am, old dude 6500 + hour pilot flight instructor...etc...watching this and am spellbound. Her radio work is spot on...she had good instructors...and obviously a quick study and very sharp...and her tailwheel skills are spot on, control inputs etc...great pilot
I was just thinking the same thing! I'm an old dude with just shy of 500 hours and I'm taking notes on her workflows. Very impressive.
Eh? Giving her positive feedback is not sad.
@@coronalight77yes, you are sad. Your assumption says more about you than anyone else.
@@coronalight77 Hahahaa definitely.
Stevie is a genius that’s why.
I completely agree with your sentiment about being able to see the world from such a cool, different view because of aviation! Every time I take a regular, commercial flight somewhere, I always get a window seat and look outside with such a sense of wonder, like a little kid, especially on takeoff and landing, even after flying many many times. It’s so amazing! I’m always curious how the other people don’t seem to care and get on their phones right away. Thanks for taking us along with you Stevie!
It needs to be more affordable. Plane prices are out of control.
@@adventuresinbytes at the end of the year, I’m going to post a video detailing everything I spent to buy, own, and maintain my C140A for the first year! Hopefully it will give some transparency on the topic since I feel like there’s not a lot of info out there. Typically smaller airplanes themselves aren’t more than cars (my 140A was $33k) but maintenance is where you get hit in the wallet 😅
I’m a software engineer like you in wichita Ks and I was very curious as to how much it is to fly. But you’re in socal so I’m sure your total comp is much more than mine
@@bayflight That’s an awesome video idea, looking forward to it. How many people work on their own planes? I assume few because you have to be certified to do the work and get everything checked off? Unless maybe it’s really small, preventative type of work?
@@bayflight
Say what now? $33k for a 60- or 70- year old car? Yah maybe for a a "veteran" 🥴 (I think they stopped making the 140 in the 60s) but even so, for that much you should get a "classic" in top condition and low, low mileage. A rattly, noisy, underpowered, _tiny_ aluminium box? Maybe a third of that price!
I always LOVE how you leave in your checklist rundown in all your videos. I love how it shows that no matter how many hours you have as a pilot, it's ALWAYS important to do your checklist and it helps remind student pilots like me, how important it is to never get complacent. And I agree with everyone else that leaving your communications in the videos is so helpful! I enjoy the videos very much! Happy and safe flying! Blessings! ❤😊
Thank you! I always try to leave at least some or all of at least the first checklist run in. If I do cut it out, I always put in text to indicate that I'm doing the runup. I was taught from day one to never forgo a checklist, and talking through it helps keep me accountable! I'm always talking to myself while I'm flying, it really helps me stay ahead of the airplane.
Noted on the communications as well! I'll try to insert some other radio communications down the line too!
Safe flying to you as well! Thank you for watching and for the kind & helpful words!
I'm a retired Air Force aviator with around 4000 hours flight time and used to be able to recite the checklists from memory. But if you didn't have it out and using it you'd bust a check ride! Checklists are great.
Yeah, I mean I'm no power pilot, and it's a long time since I flew gliders, but Stevie's professionalism just shines through!
Not a pilot(yet) but I remember flying with my f-18 pilot brother and as I vividly remember, he too verbalized his check list. I thought it was just him liking his own voice🤣
@@chrisbuckley8148 😆😆😆
I was a T-37 instructor at Williams AFB 1972 to 1975. Been to Albuquerque many times at FL210. Saw a NASA F-104 do a Immelmann turn there out of traffic over 50 years ago. I love the fact of young women like you embracing aviation. You are doing a great job keep it up from an old pilot. It takes a lot of grit to go to Oshkosh solo in a Cessna 140. You go girl.
Always fun to watch "where in the world is Stevie".
Really loved this leg of your journey. Show Low used to be my home airport and I solo’d on St John’s. So many memories and absolutely the best part of AZ. Thank you for sharing.
hi stevie, i’m 17 and a female student pilot and you are my biggest inspiration. i love watching your videos💗
i just ordered a hoodie too💕
Every time I read a comment about your pre-flight check-list I nod my head in agreement. I can sight several NTSB reports wherein it was overlooked.
As a fellow female software engineer that is unfortunately disqualified from flying due to a litany of health conditions, I am so grateful that I can live vicariously through you. You are an inspiration and please keep up the good work! 🤩
Likely you would still be able to qualify for LSA license. Go ask.
Very sweet of you to mention that@@lynnkramer1211. I was surprised to see that the FAA has some exemptions. I'll have to look into it, it looks like Sweden (where I live) has something similar, though there have been some court cases where licenses have been revoked due to diagnoses. 🤔
As an older pilot it's refreshing to see a young lady doing so well with her flying skills, great job.
“Do you have GPS?” I was laughing even before you replied!
23:14 Flying indeed has a deep philosophical/existential side to it that can overwhelm you. Especially when you're caught off guard by some breathtaking clouds or scenery. The sheer beauty can be very emotional.
The traffic real radio talk is your trademark, Stevie. It is such a pleasure to see a pilot so concerned and focused about safety and also be pationable about people, to see America from a different view and the love of flying. I really hope you get loads of opportunities to keep you vids flowing. 🌻🌼🌷🌺🌹
“HECK YEAH I AM!” 😂❤love it. Keep up the awesome vids 🙏🏼
I am from Catalina Island and certainly appreciate your choice of hats today....:)
I want to fly to Catalina with Stevie. :)
Thank you for leaving in the traffic radio talk at the beginning. It's super interesting to hear how other pilots communicate with the towers and how the tower helps direct traffic. I've been waiting for this video! haha
Thank you so much for watching and thank you for the kind words! FFZ is a CRAZY busy airport and it's so fascinating how ATC manages it all!
I agree with you! It’s also super helpful for a pilot who is just getting started, coms are so overwhelming and it helps a lot to hear!
You must be what freedom feels like! ❤
Flying is {arguably} the ultimate freedom...👍
What an exhilarating title! A scenic flight through Arizona and New Mexico sounds like a remarkable journey, especially in a tiny airplane. These states are known for their breathtaking landscapes, from the vast deserts to the stunning rock formations. Imagine flying over the Grand Canyon in Arizona or the White Sands National Park in New Mexico - the views must be absolutely awe-inspiring from above! Every day of such an adventure would bring new wonders. Keep embracing these big adventures in tiny airplanes! 🌄✈🏜
Classy aircraft. Safe skies. o7
That 140A is impeccable. It must be a blast to fly even if it is a bit slow, but that is the fun part, to be able to see the landscape pass by. Great job Stevie!
Thank you so much!! Flying the 140 is so relaxing. Neal Aviation and ArtCraft did such a fantastic job on the restoration
Stevie ,
You’re such a cool kid. I love that I can go along with you on these trips. I always wanted to learn to fly and even took a few lessons but then 6 daughters came along and that was the end of that! Love every one of them and wouldn’t change a thing but I hope you realize what these videos mean to so many.
Cheers,
Kevin
Thank you for taking me along with you on your trip to Oshgosh. As a pilot who has been grounded due to medical conditions I enjoy the ride. At 77, I miss the adventure of flying in California.
Yes previous pilots who for reason Thay don't care about talking do miss
Flying...my dad as a sector chief flew his plane to work; medical reasons prevented him to fly ocasianly neighbor in air inviting him to fly !!!
You lost some weight and looking trim. Good for you. I really like that vintage plane. Not the fastest bird but she is still fun.
Love it. One thing I would add (if it doesn't involve much extra editing) an occasional avation map showing your location. Makes a nice reference to smaller airports. I've lived in AZ for 40 years and really had no idea of St. John's.
You are living the dream….! Woooooohoooo
Flying looks like fun, but the complicated aspect to me is all the radio chatter. So much to understand and loaded with jargon. Beautiful flight on many levels, smart flight in avoiding the weather. Steve's little upgrade to this classic aircraft is amazing. Looking forward to the unpredictable Part 3
The radio can be very intimidating at first and there is a lot to learn but, with perseverance, you’ll get it.
You gotta like to talk to fly
@@bradhanson4803 not really. You gotta love to talk to be an ATC. Remember, about 3/4 or so of the talk you heard wasn’t for Stevie. Those were other planes talking with ATC.
I appear to be very complicated, but a lot is the plane registration you need to read, then everything is really short, if in doubt ask them to repeat.
It can be at first, but you pick it up pretty quickly and then it's like breathing.
I find the radio traffic relaxing.
I picked up that trait while in the service. One aspect of my "job" involved being on a radio net for extended periods of time. Some guys got bored with it. I was one of the goofy guys that relished it.
Thank you for sharing this as a part of your flight time. It keeps the flight relevant and interesting
Taxi driver?
@@d8o8m8 That's good.
The MOS is Air Support Operations Operator. You serve as a Recon/Guide for every branch of the service; monitoring movement, placement, equipment and personnel. You durect traffic in and around all sorts of hostile situations involving Air Craft to Ground Troops. The goal is to keep them alive while they take care of the bad guys. The work environment is from the rear echelon to the raging front, being that scout that every group needs.
Therefore you listened to a lot of info.
@@d8o8m8 Firefighter would have been my guess. 😉 You know, between cooking meals and video games.
Stevie, your professional flying skills just never fail to impress. Thanks, as always, for sharing the trip. :)
Great video ! I've never heard such a laid-back sounding controller (Falcon Tower).
Thank you! And right?! Clearly wasn't his first rodeo with all the traffic hahah. The controllers at FFZ are great!
Great video and scenery , as a retired ships captain and marine pilot it's very interesting to see how you navigate and communicate, thank you . Enjoy yr flying
Thanks for taking us for the ride! Absolutely love the radios, the guy at 14:40 seemed very enthusiastic 😂❤ and the views are stunning, so different from up here 🍁
You are simply awesome
Lovely young lady
It's like a road trip in the sky - even better!
This young lady is over the top awesome. Good luck in everything you do!
Loved watching day two,loverly and clever young lady.👏💐
What an outstanding job of refurbishment from paint to interior it's an award winner
Another great flight Stevie! Thanks for taking us along. I work in aviation and it gets monotonous and frustrating. Watching your videos of your flights brings back the joy and excitement of flying. Thanks!
Love your videos ,specially all the different angles and the one camera looking at you flying is great. I lived in Showlow Pinetop for three years and the place is beautiful. You should have syated for one night, its such a different climate and vegetation. I used to drive by the airport and the road gets really close to the end of the runway. Nice memories.
Nice i was waiting for this one I'm from NM and lived in ABQ for like 6 years.
Wow I’m impressed what you do. I never been in a plane or flown. But wow u have guts be careful and stay safe
Started following your channel when I noticed you were flying into San Carlos, CA. That's just up the road from where we live in Menlo Park.
My dad was an aircraft mechanic during WW2 and eventually worked for United Airlines at SFO. He commented it was a thrill when he taxied the planes that were being serviced. He also said a female pilot made the nicest landing of one of the planes he prepped before it was shipped overseas.
Glad to see you have been successful on RUclips and have gotten some sponsors. Looking forward to more of your adventures.
Your paint and interior design choices were spot on, Stevie. The 140 looks amazing!
my favorite part is always when you yell "clear!" What a beautiful plane ...
KSOW is one of my favorite airports to stop by. As a Northern Arizona GA pilot (based out of P52), so much to see, experience mountain and high densiity altitude flying, and just great small town folks.
If you ever stop by KSOW, stop by The House restaurant. Very delicious.
Safe flying....N7240A
Beautiful C140 in its new look. I love tailwheel aircrafts, I did most of my flying in these taiwheel aircrafts. Looking forward to the other legs of this trip😊
Very Smooth first Landing Stevie. Thanks for sharing the Beauty of Flying with us. The views are amazing from the 140 indeed. 😊❤️👍 PD The Background Music is Fantastic! 🎶
Those adjustable visors are a must for early morning and late afternoon flights. Thanks for the video. Thanks. KAPF
Hi Stevie thanks for sharing another awesome video, what a wonderful way to spend a day and the bonus we get to come along with you 😀. There's some beautiful scenery below you, thanks again for sharing with us take care and stay safe 👍 😊
Just popped up on my iPad, so I immediately cast it to my big screen, your videos are so well done just love them. I’ll watch my iPad for the next one 😊safe travels.
Beautiful scenery thank you. GO Blue 😄
Flew the same route in a Cherokee - anytime after 11AM the turbulence is awful in a small light plane, 2000 AGL. We could NOT hold altitude...it was 500' up...then 500' down, we surfed our way across AZ and NM - add constant bumps like driving a old pick up truck down a road full of potholes. Arriving in Santa Fe from SF area - we were beat tired. Next time...SWA at 37,000!
AGREED! It's SO bumpy. On the way back from Oshkosh, I flew in the Bonanza from Michigan to ABQ in one day, which put me in all the afternoon turbulence. It was terrible! Luckily I had the GFC500 with yaw damper then, so I wasn't working *as* hard, but still - exhausting. SWA is definitely a smoother ride hahahah
What I love about this content is I feel like I'm along for the ride and I've never even flown before. I may have to get a discovery flight now.
I've enjoyed flying with you since I first discovered you. Precise, excellent communication skills and smooth flying. I have a love for V-tailed Bonanzas, with many hours in a V-35B. I think it is very cool that you bought and updated your Bo very respectfully to the vintage appearance, but much safer mods. That said, you did pretty much the same with the 140. A Cessna was my first airplane, 50 years ago. As nice as your Bonanza is, the 140 fits you like a glove. Excellent job sticking the landing at Show Low! Nose up in the turns...🛩
Desperately looking for day 3, love your ongoing comment and great com skills. Well done. Hope to c day 3 soon
Thank you so much! Part 3 should be out Thursday!
I finished my ppl last year in Germany and while it wasnt cheap, I just always love being up there enjoying the world from above. Owning a plane is cost prohibitive for me but in a flying Club its possible. I have one at my City so its just 3 miles by cycle to go flying.
I enjoy your channel. Many appreciation from Germany
This leg brought back fond memories of flying around the desert southwest from Embry-Riddle in Prescott, AZ. General aviation has a special place in my heart so it's a pleasure to see proficient young pilots serving as role models and sharing the love. Well done.
The arial photo of St. Johns and then the detailed shot of your panel is wonderful. Thank you so much!
22:38
Beautiful Airplane good job with the restoration.
Loved the flight, I did it many years ago in a 172, but what I really enjoyed was admiring your 140. I sold mine ( a late 48 fabric wings ) 2 years ago and miss it every day. Flying a 1960 172 conversion to tailwheel these days, but I'll miss my little birdie always.
Absolutely love your content. I flew with my dad growing up in his Piper Cherokee and would listen to him talk with ATC while we flew. Just brings me back... You seem so calculated and on top of your game up there.
Glad to see part two of your Oshkosh trip finally posted, I’ve been patiently waiting for a week 😂. Love your videos, can’t wait to see what’s going on at Oshkosh 🎉
Thank you so much for the kind words (and for waiting for the video 😅 )! I hope you enjoy!! This part of the flight was so beautiful!
So glad we are getting these videos now. Love the 140. It's cute and sleek.
Thank you Stevie for taking us along, looking forward to the next journey. Beautiful scenery by the way..Love from the UK.
Thank you so much for watching!
Love your videos,hopefully tacking my check ride soon, building a Vans RV4. Did I mention I’m 70😎
Nice leg of the trip, the little 140 is performing great. Looking forward to the next part of the trip.
I truly enjoy flying along with you on your adventures. You are such a good pilot. Very thorough and meticulous.
Love my trips to the desert. East coast pilot. Moab, Sedona, and GC.
9477A good day!!! Enjoyed the video.. I grew up in the White Mountains near Show Low. Small town north of Show Low called Snowflake, Arizona. Cool to see Show Low from the air. Can’t wait to see part 3 9477A!
That interior though, wooooh!!! So crisp and so clean! You're awesome Stevie, never stop!
ArtCraft did an AMAZING job on the interior - executed the vision perfectly. Thank you so much for watching!!
Stevie, I absolutely enjoy watching you fly. I also love watching L'il Ugly (really should change her name after that new paint job) do her take off rolls and landing and I got two of each in this vid. Yay!!!
Aww, that name is hilarious, though!
Thanks and enjoying the ride along in your 140. Laurie (Laurence) NZ. 😊
Love that plane!
Flown most of the smaller Pipers and Cessnas but sold a 182 last year. Thanks for keeping me in the air. Miss my 170 time out of Murray Field in Eueka, CA
I love your 140 so don’t feel bad that it’s slow. I wish I was flying it. I also love how you showed us the beautiful earth ❤😂
This brings back great memories of the Cessna 120 we restored in 1992. It was for resale after exterior, interior and new fabric on the wings. I had too much fun and took a couple of years before decided to accept a sale. Caribou Maine.
You're an amazing pilot. Such smooth takeoffs and landings. You nail the landing with very little bounce.
Nice! Keep Going Over that Check List!!!! Amazing how that 1949 Cessna is shining ! Who ever preowned it took really good care of it!!! the Views Are Spectacular! Thanks for sharing!
I really love the new paint work ❤
Love it! My family had a Bonanza (K model) and a C120, so watching your channel sparks so many good memories. Thanks Stevie:)
Tailwheel pilot getting it done. Looked fun. Beautiful airplane. Low and slow is a blast. I think the desert SW has some of the best VFR flying in the country.
Stevie... You do an Increadable Job with that taildragger ';-) Thanks for the ride!
Yay!! Good ole Falcon Field in my home town of Mesa, AZ! Ha, there's the famous Falcon Field water tower. Another famous local landmark right off your nose at 5:30 into this video is Red Mountain! I spent many a High School weekend party on that mountain back in the 80's! Roosevelt Lake at 9:50!
Love your channel, and love watching your fun videos Stevie! Especially this one!
Thanks for sharing!
Stevie I am reminiscing while enjoying your videos but can't help being jealous of all the fun you are having.
Stevie you should do an online course teaching us beginners ground and radio training, I could listen to your comms all day and am trying to learn so much from them, I’d love to be so natural as you are chatting on the radio and taxiing.
That is really a very cute and well done plane. It looks like it just popped out of the factory line. Wow...Did I mention this is a most excellent episode?!!
Loving your 140 videos, Stevie! I recently bought a share in a Piper Super Cub and finished my rating in it a few months back. There's something special about flying low and slow in an old aircraft! Keep the vids coming! Dan (Christchurch, New Zealand).
AMAZING!
Amazing
I grew up in Albuquerque. Sure miss it. It's a pretty place, the Sandia Mountains are simply beautiful.
Glad to have you in my home state, flying to and over places I have spent so much time. Keep living your best life!
The video quality is astonishing! Thanks for posting this.
What a beautiful airplane Stevie! I've always loved the looks of a 140. Loving the paint job too! If you ever end up in Canada I'd love to help you ceramic coat that paint job.
Another Great flight Stevie thanks for letting us ride along. Ed
Awesome! What a good start of my day! Always enjoyed watching your video flying 77 Alpha while I'm having my coffee. I missed 21 Charlie though 😉
Discovered your channel yesterday, love the little plane compared to, FE, Dutch Pilot Girl in a big plane. It's so funny seeing your little 140 using the same runways as the big planes, you do a great job. Can't wait for the next installment! From a fellow SW dev at Perforce... Take care.
Great flight. Look forward to your next adventure..
You are the BEST! and soooo cute!
Great Stevie just heard you say '' Have a Good One'' I missed it on the first leg!!
Love watching you fly!
