Thank You for not adding stupid/basic music that I cannot stand listening to. I usually just mute most peoples Videos. I love the sound of your 0-200 Continental, smooth! Just like my 150. Really enjoyed.
My brother is teaching me to fly in his 1969 150, aviation is a drug I swear ! It looks like you had a great adventure.
It is time to ground that old bird!
Excellent video, makes me want to complete my private pilot license!! Great job editing and keeping it in a reasonable time frame !!
You definitely should.
Thank you so much for watching, William!
Bought a 150f yesterday and i have to fly it from northern alberta to nova scotia, 2200 nm. This is inspiring!
Congrats on your purchase! Safe travels!
Did or are you going to make a RUclips video?
@@jimmyjoe6159 no, took 1000s of pictures on my way to nova scotia but no videos.
It was a fun trip!
Thanks for the trip. I grew up on Sanibel/Captiva islands. Fun watching you fly home.
Awesome man! Small world
Thanks for watching 😎✈️
Congratulations on the purchase and my condolences….lol….Purchasing my 172 was an exhilarating experience. Ownership is great but you got a new expense. The positive….No more rental scheduling, conflicts and cancellations due to maintenance…..The more you fly the more cost effective ownership is…..hooray!!!
900mile, 10hr flight in a 150….You probably didn’t feel it being excited about the new plane but that’s brutal…lol
I do a 4hr in my 172 and I call I a day.
Btw….Beautiful plane!
Renting was just getting too crazy! I wanted to schedule my flights on my own time so this was the best option. Thanks for watching!
I just started my PP and it’s super fun, also great seeing reading as I’m from that area but I’m stationed at Charleston! Cool video!
That’s great, glad you’re having a good time with it! Thanks for watching!
I’m surprised it only took 10hrs. Loved the video hoping for more. Just subbed
Thanks for the ride.
Bro you are awesome
Looks like a great time and learning experience.
It really was. Thanks so much for watching.
Looks like a great time.
Good ole O-200
Great flight video! Glad to see others using our beloved 150 platform to take you places near and far.
More to come!

Is it a basic 6 pack? I am buying one this week and I will be out of cash to upgrade the panel for a long time
@@ahmedsalaheldinas yes it is a basic six pack
@@ahmedsalaheldinas congrats on your upcoming purchase!

Thank you! The deal has been done for over 3 weeks but the plane is getting out of annual this week finally. The magnetos overhaul took a while.
I am excited to finally put the ground school work to action. I was just iffy because there is too much information about the VFR use of CDI and I don’t have one lol
New video has been posted! A lot shorter of a flight and I walk you through a quick VFR flight to Tampa!
By the time you made it to Florida, you definitely built all the XC hours required for IFR😂
For real 😂😂
Student Pilot here and a new owner of a 150. My question is - where you able to "top off" with fuel on your stops or did you have to leave some weight off? Loved the video !
Sorry about the delayed response!
We overpacked on our trip so we were really just trying to learn the planes fuel burn and efficiency. So with that said we never topped the plane off.
On top of the weight issue, we faced a decent headwind almost the entire flight home. Because we were moving so slow we planned our stops after about 3-4 hours each leg. We really did burn about 5 gph consistently which was great.
If I were flying solo with light luggage I would’ve nearly filled the plane up completely and made some longer legs!
Great video. My only suggestion would be to add time stamps.
Those skys looked scary at 4:12
Yeah for sure, by far the worst weather was experienced in Maryland lol. On top of it being gloomy, it was very cold. Didn’t have a Carbon Monoxide sensor so we couldn’t use the cabin heat! Toes were frozen.
@@thecockpitperspective6364 goodness i couldn't handle the cold. I live in Maryland but you where flying over the Eastern shore, I live on the other shore as we call it (western shore). Hope you guys have had great adventures since then
My dude hit ATP mins off this trip
Wow how many hours total flying time including fuel stops and total fuel consumption used and total number of fuel stops did it take for that trip just curious thks
It was around 14 hours of total flight time, much longer than I signed up for! We burned around 5 gallons per hour consistently which puts the total fuel consumed around 70ish gallons. Each stop was a fuel stop, probably could’ve stretched her legs a little bit farther before stopping for fuel each time but wanted to get to know the plane. We had 4 stops meant for refueling.
@@thecockpitperspective6364 14 hours is mint bro I can drive a car from Massachusetts to Punta Gorda FL in a lil less than 24 hrs so your saving over ten hours obviously the plane is expensive buy how much is fuel per gallon?
So it’s only a couple of hours faster than driving. Note to self: need at least a cirrus sr22 😀
@@MrGW95 i apologize for the delayed response, the cost of fuel was ranging between $4.50-$7.50 per gallon between the different stops!
Most of my flight experience in my 150 is twice the gas and half the time vs driving.
Looks more like a 152.

It is a 150.
It would have been helpful with some verbal narration along the way!
