The little boy in me could not help but shed a tear on to 500ft pass. The adult shook me out of it, but thanks for letting little me out. I'm rotor and in the UK. I'll never have that pass. So thank you for taking us with you.
at or above 500 ft!, my son and I did it on a weekend, tower was closed so Orlando approach cleared us for a low approach with the following restriction, " just don't touch down"! We flew the length of the runway at about 50 feet, it was amazing!
How cool to see you flying around my old stomping grounds! I got to visit Velocity back in their early days and was very impressed how professional and organized they were for a small shop. Glad to see it's still going strong! Thanks for once again bringing a smile to my face with your adventures!
A big hello from Canada. 🇨🇦 ALWAYS LOVE your videos Sir. GREAT content. I am a 60 year old (young) student pilot and I always get so much out of your videos .. ALWAYS so professional. Looking forward to your next adventure. THANK YOU for sharing you passion of Aviation.
Dude. ... with the addition of Chelsea to everything else in your life, you're situation is rapidly becoming the envy of the aviation world. Chelsea is quite the compliment to everything and vice/versa. You two look good together. Thanks for everything you're sharing. Wow, just.....wow!
The canard plane such the Velocity Twin always remind me the Starship, one of the most beautiful airplane. I’m not a pilot but I love those planes and would definitely be on my wishlist if I would become a pilot.
@@commanderpip8350 The simplest answer I have is if the manufacturer of a particular experiential plane decides to invest in everything it will take to meet the government regulated requirements needed for certification, the experimental plane could become a certified plane. Additionally, if said company chose to go this route, the price for the certified aircraft will surely triple/quadruple in price to the consumer.
Josh I'm sorry if you've heard this million times before, but she is quite the catch; charming, beautiful, funny, the full package. You're lucky to have someone who shares your passion. My girl can only listen to me blabbing about airplanes for about 5 minutes at a time..
Great video! I went to ERAU for undergrad (engineering) and worked at KSC for about 6 years until just before the Shuttle Program ended. Going to that base never got old. Glad you got to visit!
@18:58 off to the right where I solo'd @X59. I used X26 a lot for crosswind practice, being based out of KMLB until 2017. Now I definitely have to get current after seeing this. The Space coast aviation community is wonderful with tons of flying adventures available like the NASA flyover, and all the cool spots in and around Orlando and along both coasts of Cen. Florida. So cool seeing these sights once again.
Back in 1970-72 I was a student at FIT in Melbourne Fl. not far from the Cape. I got my PP license at 17 and went to FIT to major in "Space Technology". Many of us sophomores were already pilots because FIT was in competition with Embry Riddle. Anyway, my point is that my buddy was also a pilot and his father owned a Cessna 172 that was tied down at Melbourne Airport. One night, I think it was during Apollo 17, maybe 16, we loaded the 172 with four young kids and flew up the Indian or Banana River and circled the very small restricted area surrounding the launch pad. It was a few days before the launch but the Saturn V was lit up like the best house in town during Christmas. The restricted area was small. This was well before the threat of terrorism. My guess is that there was a 10 mile radius restricted area around the Saturn V. Maybe less. We flew around the most beautiful picture of a spaceship with beams of light bouncing off it like it like it was made for a Hollywood movie. My only regret is that I didn't have a film camera. Back then, nighttime shots from airplanes would have been a blur unless you had special high speed black and white file like Kodak Tri-Ex and could push to at least ASA 1600 or more. After we circled the Saturn V, we flew back to the west toward Merritt Island and happed to fly over a drive in movie theater. Ever been at one? There was a strong wind from the west and a porno movie was playing at the time. Yes, back in those days porn was played at drive in moves. So what do four 18 year old's do when they are bored in an airplane over Cape Canaveral? We slowed down into the wind with full flaps and hoovered there and watched a porno before we headed home. This was 1972 and it was just a night out for a bunch of young guys.
I used to practice short and soft field landings at Apopka - it was great practice because of the narrow strip gives you a disorienting feeling. Good times! Thanks for the video!
While watching I was thinking I hope Chelsea gets some left-seat time on this trip, then saw the teaser for the next episode. Really dig the XC and sightseeing series, so am excited for this one you’re uploading. Keep up the good work.
The airport in Abilene Texas served as an emergency landing for the shuttle since it also served as an emergency landing for large aircraft from Dyess Air Force Base. One time, the reason I never understood, our little turboprop, back in the day when American Airlines used them, was set to taxi onto that specific runway. It felt hilarious being in such a small aircraft on such a massive strip.
Josh, That flyover of the Kennedy Space Center brought back a lot of memories to me. I visited in the seventies and was inside the Vehicle Assembly Building,. I'm from New Jersey originally and my Florida Buddies Cousin, was head of quality control for Grumman Aircraft on Bethpage ,Long Island. I had a complete tour of the assembly area, the testing labs and best of all, I saw the LEM, the Lunar Excursion Module that landed on the moon. They had a mock up of the lunar surface and he said to me, look around but keep an eye out for NASA officials. I didn't have official clearance but it was a real hoot. I grew up in Jackson, NJ near Lakehurst Naval Air Station and had been in the giant hangar near where the Hindenburg Dirigible Burned up but that VAB was even more thrilling to me having grown up on science fiction. Best of luck to you both on what is going to be an awesome trip! Cheers, Frederick "Rik" Spector
I got my PPL (2002) in a 1973 C172 with a 180 HP powerplant, constant speed prop, and powerflow exhaust. Let me say, when I soloed, that plane climbed like a rocket. Haha. Thanks for the video!
Speaking of real-world IFR: I just took my first fully actual flight with required (not just training) approaches a couple weeks ago. It was a ferry flight for a CAP airplane and it felt so good to be able to complete a flight with marginal to IFR conditions. The IFR rating is probably the most useful rating that a pilot could ever get imho. I have also stolen your entering runway logic check, haha. Check what's on the ground and check what is on the compass. Love the videos and can't wait for another technical video!
Josh/Chelsea, awesome content my friends. This is what flying should be about, fun times, memorable experiences with those close to you. It takes a lot of work to shoot, edit and publish all of this so thanks for sharing. When a bit of normality returns to the world, we should chat about having you guys come and visit here in Australia and we can spend some time in the Cherokee6 ;)
The shuttle by the runway is just a mock-up, sadly. I asked tower last time we flew by. It’s still impressive, though. X26 is an awesome place. That British pilot is like part of ‘Pilots Paradise’. The noise abatement procedures at X26 are because of Velocity 😂
I noticed on their V-twin that they just had little straight pipe exhausts coming out from each cylinder - that can't be quiet. Not sure how they handle exhaust on their standard single engine models!
@@bobbob123ful Embry-Riddle, ATP, Phoenix East and Air America, all pretty busy flight schools at DAB. Then you add in other private flights in general and commercial flights and you get a busy and complicated airport that I have somehow managed to learn inside and out.
I buddy hope you and friends are well. Brilliant flight buddy and beautiful scenery and above all what beautiful weather you have got. Stay awesome buddy and keep safe and well philip.
Josh, how do you record the cockpit audio and still capture the audio from ForeFlight? When I record in flight, I’m using NFlightCam which captures in-line audio going to and from the headset, but does not capture audio going to the headset via Bluetooth, so ForeFlight audio is missed.
Hey I am a private pilot by passion but an A&P by profession. I work at KSFO for a major airline. I am run/taxi qualified on A319 up to B747 and I feel your pain trying to talk to ATC during the busy times. .Keep up the good work enjoy your videos.
Exactly how it is going into JFK every day!! haha.. Just curious why you do not read back your top altitude that you are climbing to? Thats def SOP for us that way the controller knows what your level off altitude will be even though they should already. That TCAS is pretty awesome!!!! You need to make another trip to the Keys and do some Fishing.
Great to see the center from the air. I have lived in near the space center almost my entire life and worked on Center for many years but have never seen it from that low in person. Great video!
I continue to wonder why Chelsea isn't utilized on the flight... stick & rudder -or- radios -or- both. Despite that curiosity, another excellent video. Thanks. Wayne (DA40 KSBA). P.S. Finally saw Chelsea on the controls 26:00... cool!
“Are you gonna fan-girl” “Lil bit!” Bahaha. Love it. Having grown up in FL but living and flying in WA now…I GOTTA do that low approach when I go back home. So cool!
Glad you got to ride with Scott Swing, he gave me my demo flight 21 years ago...and as they say, the rest is history. I still haven't got to do the shuttle runway yet, maybe next time we go down to X26.
As a student at Riddle, I can say trying to get out around noon time is almost impossible and a very miserable experience for me as I’m trying to get my commercial Multi. That whole airspace is dangerous
So are you switching to a Velocity? Great aircraft. One of my friends was building one when I worked in CA. His had a Subaru engine. Chelsea looks at you like my wife looks at me. That's a good look and she's smart and capable.
Another great video Josh. What are those sun visors you have? How are you able to hear your ADS-B in your headset? I'm brand new to Foreflight and my Stratus, and have tons to learn.
Went to ERAU, New Smyrna is the best field, so you don’t have to deal with the traffic. That being said, KDAB is an experience. If you don’t frequent class B, it’s the closest you’ll get to class B level congestion.
I need that We the People hat. My wife recently became a US citizen and when she was studying for the interview I would torture her by Schoolhouse Rock's The Preamble, badly. Now if she annoys me I just start singing We the People, off tune of course.
That airplane you and Chelsea are flying has as much in common with the 172's I flew in the '70's, as a 1965 Corvette has with the 2000 Corvette I just bought. On paper, they are somewhat similar, but like the movie of the same vintage, they really have 'Nothing in Common'.
Daytona is where I cut my teeth. First solo was NSB, first instructing Job was Omn, taught out of Ded and flew regularly to Flagler co. as well -great place to build an aviation career... 4 airlines later beginning to reminisce....
when your at an airport do you just say “let us fly asap” or “let us land” and you can land? Or do you schedule ahead of time where you will take of and where you will land?
I have toured the Houston TX nasa facilities with an insider guiding us. That was really cool, especially the space suit training areas. I want to do the Kennedy spaceport one day soon.
Josh, have you ever had your iPad overheat in flight? I’ve always been an Android / Garmin Pilot guy but just picked up a Mini to use with ForeFlight and it overheated on my back deck after only 15 minutes in 85 degree weather. Haven’t flown with it yet but now have some dependability concerns. Thanks for any thoughts.
Welcome to my stomping grounds, my plane is based in Kissimmee and I did my airplane training to learn how to fly my own plane at Apopka with D and J aviation there, great guys that helped me get signed off with insurance in my plane. Keep it up man, you have inspired a ton of over through the years, hoping to have my commercial by the end of the Summer!
Absolutely loved this video. Can't wait until I finish my PPC. Really want that same freedom for my family. Really hope you get that Velocity. Great video as always! Thank you.
Josh, if you go Velocity suggest you buy one already built or buy as much help as you can afford there at the factory. I'm 5300 hours/5 years into a Velocity build myself.
Loved watching this video. Have been over to Sebastian a few times from the U.K. for a flying holiday and rented from pilots paradise based at Sebastian. Done the low approach at the shuttle landing facility and flown into lots of those airports up the east coast. Can’t wait to return one day. Keep up the great work, love watching your videos.
I flew out of Daytona on the last day of school for Emery. Every student trying to get in there check rides before end of semester. I was 28th in line!
Awesome video Josh. We were at the Shuttle assembly building after Atlantis last flight while it was decommissioned that building is just huge it was a great tour of the facility. Looking forward seeing more of you two.
Impressive airmen ship. Especially staying on the centerline on takeoff’s. Very good. Radio work as well. You should try floatplanes just so you can say that you have done it. It’s quite an experience.
The little boy in me could not help but shed a tear on to 500ft pass. The adult shook me out of it, but thanks for letting little me out.
I'm rotor and in the UK. I'll never have that pass.
So thank you for taking us with you.
I hope to own a Velocity one day. I used to fly a Cozy mkiv that my father in law built. It was based in Apopka
5:20 they call him the quickest push to talk in the west
at or above 500 ft!, my son and I did it on a weekend, tower was closed so Orlando approach cleared us for a low approach with the following restriction, " just don't touch down"! We flew the length of the runway at about 50 feet, it was amazing!
21:20 Hollywood Studios parking lot. Crescent Lake and Epcot also in the frame. Cool!
How cool to see you flying around my old stomping grounds! I got to visit Velocity back in their early days and was very impressed how professional and organized they were for a small shop. Glad to see it's still going strong! Thanks for once again bringing a smile to my face with your adventures!
Hey man, you should get a polierizing filter for the window camera to remove the glare from the glass!

I wonder when does an experimental plane no longer stay experimental?

really enjoyed this vlog. happy to see Chelsea in the vlog, i hope she'll be around for many more vlogs :) keep up the excellent work
One of the top videos he's produced. Really enjoyed this Josh, thanks!
15:00 What is the device on the panel? Looks like wi-fi router. It is ADS-B, isn't it?
Love the longer episodes glad your talking time to relax and enjoy life and friends

Awesome video. Your videos helped me pass my PPL here in the UK. PPL. I'm now finally going out exploring. Thanks for posting.
I HIGHLY recommend all GA pilots complete their instrument ratings.
Insurance savings alone will probably pay for it within a few years, too.
And get an ATP.
Josh you and Chelsea are a real wonderful "GA"-couple!

Hello dude, love your hand works💯💯💯
"until the wind says you're done." Fockin solid advice.
Funny you posted this today Josh because I just purchased my very own Velocity SE RG kit this week. These planes are incredible.
What film clip was it where the funny atis report was. I think it was together with angle of attack?
Wats the system installed with runway info while lining 4takeoff? Cool. Like to install in a PA28
A Velocity makes a nice change from yet another RV!
Chelsea's cute too!
Fun video.

Nice to see Scott Swing of Velocity. One great pilot and one awesome airplane.
It warms my heart to see the next gen doing some good aviation. Good job and interesting video!
Anytime I see a velocity, I click
Same. 🙌🏼
If you go back, I would love to see the progress on the 6 seater they’re currently building
Beautiful flight , nice experience flaying over Cape Canaveral and the demo flight was also quite an experience. Congrats
Which chart app do you use?
What was the system that talked you through the entrance to the runway, and gave you distance remaining?
ForeFlight on an iPad.
@@SilvaAdventures Thanks!
I just love Josh's reaction when he keys the mic with 2 others at the same time lmao! 🤣🙈
When can Expect a Velocity build channel start. I’m waiting!!!!!!!!
Right after his Carbon Cub.
Hello dude, love your hand works💯💯💯
Looking forward to the rest of your journey with Chelsea!!
Are you gonna be at ACCA next month? I got to meet you last year. Great video.
Daytona is always like that! I've been getting all my licenses there and one day I had to wait 1hr on the ground before departure lol.
this was a really good video of the flight. the velocity aircraft is absolutely gorgeous. That might make a really nice wedding gift.
Exactly how it is going into JFK every day!! haha.. Just curious why you do not read back your top altitude that you are climbing to?

Ditto on Chelsea!
I like the swept wings and pusher idea on that sporty looking gorgeous aircraft!

The good old Riddle congo line in Daytona, glad I don't have to deal with it at UND, although we get our own congo lines too 🤣, just not as bad
Riddle Rush is no joke haha

Why not counter rotation engines on Velocity twin?
Have you ever been to Moses Lake, Washington? there is a 13,500 foot runway
Absolutely loved this video. Can't wait until I finish my PPC. Really want that same freedom for my family. Really hope you get that Velocity.
Great video as always! Thank you.
How were you able to transition through the Disneyworld TFR?
Wish I could land the plane as smooth as josh dang man 😂
Josh, if you go Velocity suggest you buy one already built or buy as much help as you can afford there at the factory. I'm 5300 hours/5 years into a Velocity build myself.
Chelsea spotted traffic pretty fast. I would take female friends with me, and they ALWAYS spotted them before I did.
The Velocity with LS3 V8 is insane, the twin it's a awesome. I'm always experimental
I lived in Florida for about 3 years and 50 miles south of Cape Canaveral. Never knew that they allowed this. Now I feel like I missed out.
Loved watching this video. Have been over to Sebastian a few times from the U.K. for a flying holiday and rented from pilots paradise based at Sebastian. Done the low approach at the shuttle landing facility and flown into lots of those airports up the east coast. Can’t wait to return one day. Keep up the great work, love watching your videos.
In fact N8441H was on frequency, one of the aircraft I have rented and in my log book.
The Velocity V Twin is so cool. Just saw one for the first time at KSBP San Luis Obispo CA
I flew out of Daytona on the last day of school for Emery. Every student trying to get in there check rides before end of semester. I was 28th in line!
This is super cool! I drive by the Apopka airport all the time! My hometown! Flying over Disney awesome! I work there as a monorail pilot!
How do keep the GoPros’s from overheating and shutting down?
Awesome video Josh. We were at the Shuttle assembly building after Atlantis last flight while it was decommissioned that building is just huge it was a great tour of the facility. Looking forward seeing more of you two.
Good to see you getting some R&R. Great video as always.
Impressive airmen ship. Especially staying on the centerline on takeoff’s. Very good. Radio work as well. You should try floatplanes just so you can say that you have done it. It’s quite an experience.
I rented a C172 in 1992. The Cape let me do a touch and go lol. That runway is LONG!
