I don’t know why I was recommended this… but I’m happy I was. All of this goes way over my head, but I can really appreciate Stevie’s kindness and professionalism! You’re the coolest
Having been an airline pilot all my life, I just wanted to say how impressive your whole operation was. You made it all seem so easy, which is the mark of someone who knows what they are doing. Congrats and well done. Phil
@@pinetreewolfptw7934 it’s impressive that you’ve survived within human society for this long not being able to distinguish between the literal and the metaphorical

This young lady would make a great airline pilot. She's so calm when she flying and that's a must in flying a plane. Some people are just meant for flying and this lady is one of them.
I absolutely love your videos. My daughters are 12 and 14 and seeing you just living this amazing life as a young lady gives me so much hope and passion for their future.
She’s legit living her best life and I’m here having anxiety every time the little plane moves during turbulence. Like how is she not freaking out? Nice to also make me understand that weather is out of my control and fight my plane fears
@@kimmigrace omg you just gave me a more relaxing view. I legit enjoy traveling but every time I have to flight I either take a Xanax or now trying to take cbd cause legit I think that as we take off we might die 😂 I know is silly but my level of stress is ready to fight or flight. Next time imma think this way and try to maintain calm as much as I can. Also tips to control fear are welcome 🤗
@Angelica Galindo I have a severe anxiety disorder, and a huge fear of flying. I would suggest not thinking too much about it and once you take off, take a close look at the view. Think "why am I scared?" Once you have your reason, maybe try googling remedies to kind of calm that fear. I'm so sorry if this isn't very helpful, I tried my best
@@angelicagalindo4840 so it’s kind of funny, i am terrified of heights but airplanes are actually much more safer than driving at any time. also i have anxiety to! i recommend ready or listening to music to help you relax or watch your favorite movie. also as soon as you get seated get organized. take a few deep breaths and relax. i hope this helps on your next travel! x💗
Great video Stevie, you're a superb example of aviation professionalism! I've been flying professionally for 38 years and I would recommend your videos as "must see" examples for young aviators aspiring to fly solo cross-country. Your trip planning, radio discipline and airmanship are top notch. Loved seeing you do final checks multiple times during the approach and landing. Congratulations on the move and big props to the CFI's and mentors who helped you achieve your very high level of proficiency...truly impressive! Jay
As a retired pilot, I love these sorts of videos. I'll never forget some of the lovely scenery I've observed: icy fjords, red dunes, patchworks of fields in Europe, vast lakes at night where glittering stars reflected, the darkest nights over Africa where vast expanses were lit only by the occasional lightning cloud and campfires.
I moved out of professional aviation to be home for my kids, but I look back fondly on the experiences of my career as well. I used to do airborne survey -- treetop level flying all over Northern Canada, did a stint in Ireland, Burgundy region of France (I have dozens of photos of old castles and Chateaus), Suriname jungle, and the mountains of Colorado among many other places. So much stunning scenery, many endless hours of boredom in the cockpit, and a few moments of excitement. Great memories but that time is over now.
Stevie's checklist procedure is amazing, and it's done multiple times, but the shot I always love the most is when the engine is cranking and she's furiously working to get the engine to fire up. The landings are so gentle, it's all beautiful.
youtube recommended a video of a guy younger than me solo sailing the pacific in a 27ft boat and now this girl making amazing flights across the country look as easy as an afternoon jog. I am inspired 👹
I've grown up around small planes and helicopters and the pilots are almost always older men so seeing a young female pilot is extremely refreshing. I'm looking forward to a time where this is a typical sight. It's so cool how you are recording the video and audio of these flights! You are inspiring many young people to become pilots with these videos, great job Stevie!
I’ve loved planes since I was little, and have noticed the same. Mostly what I’ve noticed is just that it’s older people, period. I’m happy for all the youth that want to fly and are finding a way to do it. I’m more or less stuck in a work loop (trucker), so I *kind of* live it vicariously through them. I’m just happy to see new faces getting to live that thrill! Hopefully, more people can come in and revitalize, and maintain the hobby.
I think it's awesome to see younger people in aviation too! I do think that aviation will go through a big change once suppressed technology gets released though. Electro-gravitics among other tech will see more people in the air period. Will never replace the manual process of what flying and ICE aircraft is like though.
Wow what a terrible statment to say it like that. Might as well say you support men losing there jobs as pilot's just because you see to many and need to be replaced with women for ascetic purposes alone as it wasn't about the capability but the visual preference. Might want to change your perspective before you take action on others existence.
This seems absolutely insane to me as someone who’s scared to death of flying especially in small planes! But wow I really respect how at such a young age you’re absolutely rocking this and are brave enough to just go off on your own! Would love you as a commercial pilot I’d feel super calm
@@alexastorm97 You took this as a sexist comment? How? Referenced their personal fear of flying and then mentioned her age....Ma gosh people are sensitive over nothing
@@alexastorm97 I never once mentioned her sex nor does it matter to me at all 🤷🏻♀️ I’m amazed more how at her age she’s so independent and learnt such a complex skill! Your comment is completely off topic and irrelevant
@@alexastorm97 you are the weirdest person I’ve ever come across 😂 regardless of wether female or male it’s a brave and independent thing to do at a young age🤷🏻♀️ you don’t know me how do you know I wouldn’t click on the video or write a comment if it was a male 🤔 you clearly have some issues since you’ve commented the same kind of thing on other comments! Just gotta say also never once did I mention how calm she is, I commented that she’d make ME feel calm as someone who’s scared of flying! I think you need to take your head out of your 21st century snowflake arse and get a grip 🙄 you sound like one of these extreme modern day feminists and quite frankly that’s part of one of society’s problems 😴
Navigating, communicating, piloting, and still having the time to explain everything is beyond impressive. Ultra-brilliant exceptional like no other woman. Thumbs up, Stevie.
The way you conduct the pre-flight, the procedures, everything... total inspiration! can't wait to get my license this year! Thanks for the uploads and good luck on the rest of the journey!!
After over 15,000 hours in large commercial airplanes you have motivated me to fly a small plane again. I need to takes my two daughters up and maybe spark their desire to be a pilot.
If you want to keep then alive and healthy I wouldn’t do that. Fly all you want but don’t get them into it if they aren’t already. My dad and best friend are dead From a crash that was not survivable. Dad was F4 F16 pilot and an instructors instructor. It’s all fun until your dead and exploding in flames.
@@michiganwoodsman2199 sorry for your loss, but do I not drive a car because my brakes might fail or someone may crash into my car? Should I not go out of the house because I may die from a criminal? I have flown over 5,000 hours in light aircraft and over 15,000 hours in commercial aircraft. Anything can happen on any day but I’m not going to live my life in fear of something that has a tiny fraction of a percentage.
It depends on what she is doing. At the moment I believe she is flying vfr with flight following or might be IFR both of which are really useful when doing longer flights. When you do quick flights and just want to mess around than you can fly VFR and go nuts (out of controlled airspaces)
Keep in mind each video is several hours cut down to just a few minutes by taking out all the silence. We are not anywhere near as busy as this makes it look.
@@jcnt9292 You do know that VFR and IFR has nothing to do with whether the airspace is controlled, right? IFR (Instrument flight rules) are a set of rules you follow when using instruments to fly/navigate, due to not being able to see outside of the cockpit due to weather or IMC conditions. VFR (visual flight rules) are a set of rules you follow during a normal flight when you can see outside, and even night flights do count as VFR in case you're wondering. As long as you can see that your plane is flying straight and level and you can see other aircraft or runway lights from a distance then it's considered VFR. So fog (for low level flying), heavy rain, clouds or flying in any other similar obstruction would be considered IMC and you need to follow IFR. You also have to be rated to fly IFR, that's your instrument rating. It is 100% illegal to fly IFR without an instrument rating unless you are flying with an instrument rated instructor (CFII, Certified Flight Instructor with Instruments) I doubt she has an instrument rating and she is 100% flying VFR. In fact only slightly over 50-60% of private pilots are instrument rated. It costs more money to obtain that rating and as long as you don't have a need to fly into IMC weather then you don't need it anyway.
I have no idea why RUclips recommend this to me but MAN this is the coolest thing I've ever seen! "Hey, what you doing today?" "Oh not much, you know, just going for a casual fly across the country."
Interesting that she does the entire checklist sequence every single time out loud. I know that's how pilots are trained, but it's still really cool to see she has solo accountability and is keeping herself and others in the air safe.
I've been flying for 25 years and while I could do it by memory and braille at this point, I do the same thing. Removing stuhpid pilot mistakes eliminates a third of the things that kills people in general aviation airplanes. Avoid them Airfloriduh onff's.
I suffer from flight anxiety every time I travel. It doesn’t stop me from traveling but I’m a nervous wreck every time I’m in the air. Watching Stevie be so comfortable and in control inspires me to keep trying to overcome my fears. She is a total badass and I have so much respect for her skill, professionalism, and passion for flying.
That could be because you’re not the one in control of the aircraft when you’re in control of the vehicle do you have far less anxiety than you do when somebody else is in control
@@marzhayez3428 Same same. I live in China and I’m moving to Japan in June. There was recently a plane crash and since then I’ve been nothing but terrified about flying in June.
I also suffer from flight anxiety every time I travel. Except, its the opposite.. I am a wreck up until takeoff, but once in the air, I'm calm and cool.
This girl is having the time of her life! Thanks for making this video, lot's of fun to come along with you! Great of you for sharing! I wish you many more happy landings!
Looks like a young lady who's had some great opportunities throughout her young life and the best parenting and leadership to be able to do what she does. I'd love to see kids of whom could never dream of this level be given a chance to do this kind of thing. I would love to see the kids of the inner city have a chance to simply walk through the wilderness among the trees and the rivers and the mountains and the animals. These kids will need to fly over it once they see it, feel it, smell it and believe in it and these kids just maybe will be able to fly over it too some day. If they have a need to. I believe all the kids should and will have the opportunity to experience flight. Dean Jackson Seattle
We are luck to live in a country where if someone really sets their mind on achieving something and works hard at achieving their goal, they in most cases, will succeed. Im thankful for video like this. Hopefully it will inspire people of all walks of life. Hell, i want to fly now.
Yes she had good support from her parents and had great opportunities, but she worked hard to even get those opportunities and become the pilot she is. Let’s talk about that
Great poiny. Good parenting & guidance are number. Some will never be in the same position no matter because of how they were brought up & where. It doesnt take away from her sucess & hard work. Its just simply the truth & how the world works.
What a truly impressive young woman you are, and what an amazing adventure you are having. Your folks must be so proud of you. Good luck in California.
I stumbled upon this video and was going to watch it for a few minutes, half an hour later I was still watching it. The radio chatter and the landings make for the best show in town. Well done!!!
Dude this is awesome! I can only imagine the sense of freedom not only with this particular flight, but with the move as a whole. Your excitement is definitely infectious. Good luck in Cali!
Being a newish GA, VFR pilot, it's still a little intimidating talking to ATC and repeating back all their garble. I love how proficient you are as if it's your own language. Great videos Stevie! Thanks
I was a controller for over 25 years. Don't look at ATC as the police, look at them as another crew member there to keep you safe. If you are confused fess up, tell them you are green and to rephrase the instruction. If they are a jerk so what? Most aren't and will gladly help you out.
@@thundermustard I don't fly (yet) and hoping to start soon... It's been a dream. I noticed in the video too how intimidating speaking to ATC could be... This was a great reframe you suggested - I'll remember it for the future! Cheers
@@thundermustard been flying for almost 20 yrs and my interactions with ATC have been mostly positive. Well there was a time out of Atlanta where I told the guy he needed that vacation he kept talking about to another pilot.
Not sure why I was recommended this, but this woman is making me want to be in that plane and learn how to fly and she is making it look like the coolest freaking thing in the world..
The shot on final at Amarillo brought back memories of flying into there when it was an Air Force base for USAF Basic Training May 1966 on a USAF C-121 Constellation. I remember B-52's flying over us while marching in the HOT sun. Great video, enjoyed the ride ! Your a good Pilot ! GOD Bless and stay safe !
I worked in the AMA FAA Control Tower and TRACON in 1967-1968. I also received my Private Pilot’s License there in 1968. It was fun making touch & go landings on one of the longest and widest runways in the United States. I was 22 years old then.
Great video, all of my pilot friends say they can always tell a pro from a novice based on how comfortable they are with communications! Can't wait to show my little girl your video, she's only 3, but absolutely obsessed with planes right now and I'd love to show her what's possible if she sets her mind to it!
World needs more great dads like you. Keep up the good work. My dad did excellent job in raising this "little girl" and I'm forever grateful to him because of that.
I've done almost the same route twice years ago in my Mooney. Brought back memories. Great radio work! And you were still amazingly perky after a very long day of solo flying.
As you probably know well ;pilot's self care and wellbeing is the most important part of flying. Fatigued, dehydrated, hungry etc. pilot poses a huge security risk. It seems she's skilled in taking care of that front as well.
13:53 I think you’re a fantastic pilot and I really love your attention to detail and how you continuously go over every little thing. Even though you just landed you just got out of the airplane you had to use the bathroom you came back to your airplane and you’re now going back over every single little thing some may find that redundant and tedious but the fact that you do this and pay attention to every little detail reduces the margin of error to nothing other than a electrical or mechanical failure which is out of your control you are amazing! You must be really good at your job as a software programmer which takes a lot of detail and attention I really enjoy your videos I love the bonanza
I noticed how you changed fuel tanks @6:30. That is a very exact procedure. When the minute hand of the clock is from 12 to 6, I fly on the Right tank. When the minute hand is from 6-12, I fly on he Left tank. Any time I look down I can verify with my clock with the tank I should be on. I enjoy watching your videos.
I admire you a lot for being able to fly a plane and travel all alone. I love this video and it’s so beautiful being able to see the ground without freaking out because I’m not in the sky
I like the checklist callouts. Imagine if we all drove our cars like that. Also, it's fun to listen to the accents change as you cross the country, especially on the weather radio.
Wish I could buy V tail Bonanza, they are pretty fast. But flying isn’t cheap, a Bonanza costing around $108,000 dollars has operating costs around $285 per hour, and a person who is a competent pilot like this young lady must fly several hours per week. Need financial source to be practical.
When I lived in Colorado weather and vehicle awareness was always playing in my mental checklist. Living in the middle of nowhere Appalachian Mountains travel is limited due to choice but my pre-travel checklist is still the same
Why is it so expensive? I'm not an airplane guy and I've been trying to add it up what it would cost to take a cherokee 6 from upper michigan to Florida and I came up with around 650-800 in fuel at 16 gallons an hour. What makes it cost so much more than the 100 gas?
@@saltofearthyooper don’t forget maintenance and maybe $3000 for it’s annual. They are just amazing planes, stay out of IFR unless you are very qualified and current. That’s why they call them Doctor Killers.
You made my day when I saw this video drop! I am amazed at how calm, cool, collected and comfortable you are in flying and handling all the radio interactions. I look forward to day 3 and new content when you get settled in your new surroundings.
You are a very skilled pilot. Fun to watch. And very clear on the coms. I'm amazed how many people don't realize how key good radio communications are.
Awesome! I wish you a safe journey. Use caution over the mountains of California in a single-engine airplane. People have a tendency to jump out of perfectly good airplanes in that area for some reason. It's a weird phenomenon, but it has happened. Cheers from Louisiana.
Great videos. I spent 30 years flying FAR 121, regional for 4 years and international airfreight for 26 (DC8, 757,767,747 -400/8). Now I fly my Cessna 206G to backcountry airstrips in Utah and Idaho. You do a good job in that classic Bonanza. Remarkable what Beech built in late 1940s.
I don't fly however, I have friends and family that do. So I've been an aviation enthusiast for a long time. The Bonanza is one of my favorite planes. That's how I came across your videos. I thoroughly enjoy them. You are an awesome pilot. Keep the great videos coming!
"Happy Sunday!" Perfect. Enjoying following your flight. Everything is better with coffee! Love the frequency handoff and relay. So nice to hear pilots helping out.
I used to fly fairly regularly in my teens. Absolutely loved it. Had a few flights here and there in light aircraft over subsequent years but work and career has been in the way for 15 years. Your videos have reignited the flame I have for flying and I’m going to my local airfield to chat to them about obtaining my PPL and eventually even purchase a plane. I’ve had a good career so I can afford my own plane now 👍🏻
Absolutly amazing! My eyes even started to water a bit as it got me emotional. You look so professional, concentrated and still so unbelieveble cool and freindly. You also show a great example to all the young people out there, that you can reach the skies (literally). Well done Stevie x
@@natertotgaming1246 Lmao stop hating bro.. I teared up in the beginning too. Not weird at all. It’s emotional to see us women do such amazing things the way Stevie flawlessly executed this!!! Being able to connect with your emotions is special. Something you probably wouldn’t understand..😌
I am thoroughly enjoying your trips, I live on the west coast of Ireland and from a very young age I always wanted to be a pilot (40, married mom, 2 kids) I think what you're doing is very inspirational for any younger viewers and my little women have been watching and are very impressed and think it is so cool that you have your own plane!. I have learned so much from watching and also reading the brilliant comments left by everyone else. Safe onward journey ☘ and I look forward to seeing part 3 😀
When you were getting fuel,the king air right next to you is what my dad used to fly,he would've loved seeing your video's.He was a pilot and instructor for 35 years ; )
I was there at Falcon field back in the 70's at an airshow, and 'Bobby Bishop' was flying his BD5J, what a fun character he was! Stevie, you sure are a wonderful role model and my hero! Lots of success and happiness to you dear Lady!! Mike in Oregon
Stevie, I love how you GUMP'd loudly. Gas, Under Carriage, Mixture and Props. I counted you doing this around 3 times on each approach....GOOD HABITS TO DEVELOP! Here's wishing you 45 Min's reserve on every one of your flights.
This just came up in my recommended. As someone who is scared of flying, this was really nice to watch. I love how calm you are, you make it look so easy!
It could be, also, that she doesn't know what she doesn't know. She's definitely good, but I get the distinct feeling that she might be a bit over-confident. It's a very common problem.
@@-108- that's interesting. could you be more specific why you think she could be over-confident? She appears remarkably well prepared to me, and other pilots in the comments appear impressed with her preparation and thoroughness
I’ve always told my wife that there are so many great things to accomplish in Life than to worry about a Family member bringing you down. I love this video I’m watching. This brought a Tearful joy to me. My 4 Boys will be doing great things in life just like this amazing young lady.
You had some nice VFR weather. The video makes it all look so easy. But I know that was more tiring than you made it look. As a 25 year pilot, I would fly with you anytime. You're solid.
I would fly with you any time as well to learn the radio call's awesome 👍😎😘 love it, have learned Bell 47 in 1990 helicopter most flying locale and Cross Country from and to airport easy.
Thanks for being on topic and doing things correctly and having fun doing it. You're a good example for student pilots to see, doing things properly, maintaining cockpit vigilance and not getting caught up on anyone thing to the neglect of others. I haven't seen your other vids yet but maybe you could do one on flight planning also.
You are defiantly an inspiration to many on getting their PPL! Sharing your communication on take off, in air, and landing, help a lot to better understand the ATC communication. Hoping you can share your complete setup, what you use to take notes (paper or iPad and what apps you use...like Foreflight). Love your videos!
I'm enjoying these videos. I love your communication skills as it's a must. Lots of detailed information and I'm learning and enjoying every moment of it. You're such a great example and a role model.
I have a daughter that wants to learn to be a pilot. This trip reminds me of my solo trip from Miami to Chicago. Had to break it up into 3 legs. My hats off to Stevie attempting this trip solo. There is alot of things you have to do alone and she did everything so great. I miss my flying days.
I’m grew up in Michigan, Dearborn Hts, Walled Lake, got my ticket in Florida and now live in AZ not far from Falcon Field. I could see the Superstition Mountains at the end of the video. Nice airplane! Great video! Blue skies!
Wish my radio calls were as smooth as yours. Great video! Good tip for high DA pilots, take along a pulse oximeter and occasionally check your o2 saturation. On warm days over 10k my O2 saturation begins to drop, especially when not fully hydrated. I’m athletic and live at 6k feet…so it’s not a fitness thing. A friend handed me his pulse oximeter at 10k feet and it measured under 90%, now I believe. Well within regulation to not use O2 at 10.5k, though our body’s performance is affected by DA similar to airplanes. Nowadays, I hit the bottle(both O2 and water) on the high hot cross countries. Most people can deliberately breath and raise O2 saturation in the marginal altitudes, supplemental Oxygen is better. Pulse Oximeters are $45 at any pharmacy and weigh a few ounces, newer iWatch has the capability too. Enjoy the wild West!
Mesa-Phoenix, AZ is a great place!! Glad you're having a safe, fun cross-country flight. Might be boring at times although it is 10X worse boredom driving the roads cross-country!
I was recommended this video because I've recently been watching a lot of airplane videos, like cargo flights, animal rescue moving, and more from Sam Chui, so I opened it and I never thought I'd see someone almost my age flying a friken airplane. It honestly got me watching to get my rec pilots permit license, I looked up the prices and its honestly not as expensive as I thought it would be, still kinda expensive but I thought it would be in the hundreds of thousands, it is not. So I'm actually thinking of saving up to get my rec license because this looks like so much fun, and renting a 1 engine airplane for an hour isnt as expensive as I thought it would be, so if I get my license I might go up in the air more often. So I guess what I'm trying to say is thank you Stevie Triesenberg for these videos, they made me want to get my license
You are so correct. There is so much land in the western part of the United States that is untouched. I came across your videos today and I admire your enthusiasm, dedication, and energy! Safe landings!
I have been learning to fly for 2 years now it never really made me happy in any way considering I just saw it as a future career and not for fun after watching this video and seeing the amazing part of aviation and flying I think it really changed my perspective of it all, thank you so much I think ill be enjoying my classes and flights a lot more now on!
I just LOVE southwest USA, it's so clear and you can see for miles! I've lived in Ohio all of my life and have driven to California and back twice, going through Amarillo each time to stop for some good food. You being from Michigan, I know you understand how around here we just don't generally see further than 10 miles or so (on the ground), because of the humidity and just our land in general. I always loved seeing a mountains out there LONG before I got to drive over it. Really enjoying following this trip and thank you for the content!
Great job young lady. Very professional and Impressive. Love listening to the chatter. It amazes me how you can comprehend all that information. Happy flying
Imagine going on a blind date with her, thinking how she'll be impressed when you tell her about yourself and your Occupation. You ask her what she does, and she tells you she's a Software Engineer and also loves to fly, and is a Pilot and owns her own plane! Lol Talk about living life to the fullest! Her parents have to be so proud of her. 🛩
Just dont burnout .... i didnt but wife did i 64 she 62 she QUITE the computor expert but she dumped me six months ago i guess file this spring .. live off of her . Till death do us part.
IF relationships were based on who you are as a person ie... your personality, attractiveness, intelligence, sense of humor, etc.... instead of achievements, and how much money you make.. there wouldn't be anything to imagine. Imagine this.... think about how many couples are mismatched right now, and are unhappy because they married someone based on stupidity rather than true attraction to that person based on who the person is. That's why there are so many divorces as we speak.
@@chucklemasters6433 I would think the LAST place to look for someone is a dating site, and not everyone is looking for a date, some guys are looking for a good wife. If she ever needs a co-pilot, my schedule will free up faster than a Cirrus student on final.
RUclips recommended this video to me and I am so glad it did- I’m also a lowlander planning my first big southwestern cross country in a couple weeks!! Thanks for the informative and well-made video!!
I have landed on that very runway at Albuquerque as a pilot and as a passenger more times then I can count. Even been in that very FBO when I was first leaning to fly. I grew up in Northern New Mexico (Santa Fe) and Southern Colorado (Pagosa Springs). Seeing you fly over the Sandias and Albuquerque got me quite giddy and nostalgic...lol
Stevie. Brilliant production. You make it seem so easy. Your ability is awesome. I am eagerly awaiting the last Part 3 of your trip to California. Best wishes in all your future endeavors .
Awesome! My Michigan to California flight was in 1992, late September, in my Citabria. We too had low clouds in Michigan and great weather the rest of the way. Day 1 East Lansing to Gothenburg Nebraska. Day 2 to Farmington New Mexico. Day 3 to Cortez Colorado, stopping at Mesa Verde, then to Big Bear California. Day 4 to Burbank and a friend's wedding. We shot the flight in 8mm video. Gotta digitize and post!
What a motivated lady, absolutely impressed with your matter of fact drive and intelligence. A golden reflection of your parents who did such a fine job apparently of raising a gem. As a Father of 2 girls, I take pride in the good people they have become, I am sure your parents are sad to see you spread your wings, but proud of you. Best wishes
Geday from South Australia. Love your channel and the fact you are just getting out there and doing it. Wish I had followed my dreams earlier and got my full PL like you. Great to see no matter how confident you get, you always stick to the basics and repeat your check lists etc. Good safe flying, good luck with the move.
Very enjoyable! Amarillo - "Wow, long runway!" Yeah, I've landed on that one. So long we did three touch and goes in the same pass! I believe it was dedicated as an alternate site for transporting the space shuttle cross-country, just because, well, long runway. Keep up the good flying!
Thorough preparation is a recurring theme at all levels of training and it's the first thing I noticed about your videos. The beauty of the scenery around the desert Southwest takes some getting used to and this reminded me of my own transition from flight training in New England to Embry-Riddle in Arizona. Nicely done in all respects.
Came across this by accident. I'm glad I did. Never knew just how much was involved in flying. Can't wait for video three - from Arizona to California!!!
I don’t know why I was recommended this… but I’m happy I was. All of this goes way over my head, but I can really appreciate Stevie’s kindness and professionalism! You’re the coolest
Couldn’t Agree more!
I fly a 172, but I have never had this much fun!!
It's funny because the plane also wen over your head :p

She’s legit living her best life and I’m here having anxiety every time the little plane moves during turbulence. Like how is she not freaking out? Nice to also make me understand that weather is out of my control and fight my plane fears
i’m a flight student, you have to think of turbulence like your going down a road with a lot of holes in it. it is bumpy but flying is so relaxing!
@@kimmigrace omg you just gave me a more relaxing view. I legit enjoy traveling but every time I have to flight I either take a Xanax or now trying to take cbd cause legit I think that as we take off we might die 😂 I know is silly but my level of stress is ready to fight or flight. Next time imma think this way and try to maintain calm as much as I can. Also tips to control fear are welcome 🤗
@Angelica Galindo I have a severe anxiety disorder, and a huge fear of flying. I would suggest not thinking too much about it and once you take off, take a close look at the view. Think "why am I scared?" Once you have your reason, maybe try googling remedies to kind of calm that fear. I'm so sorry if this isn't very helpful, I tried my best
@@angelicagalindo4840 so it’s kind of funny, i am terrified of heights but airplanes are actually much more safer than driving at any time. also i have anxiety to! i recommend ready or listening to music to help you relax or watch your favorite movie. also as soon as you get seated get organized. take a few deep breaths and relax. i hope this helps on your next travel! x💗
@Taiga You do know there are WOMEN pilots! Dont underestimate women, and you need to know not only women have anxiety, men can also have anxiety.
Great video Stevie, you're a superb example of aviation professionalism! I've been flying professionally for 38 years and I would recommend your videos as "must see" examples for young aviators aspiring to fly solo cross-country. Your trip planning, radio discipline and airmanship are top notch. Loved seeing you do final checks multiple times during the approach and landing. Congratulations on the move and big props to the CFI's and mentors who helped you achieve your very high level of proficiency...truly impressive! Jay
As a retired pilot, I love these sorts of videos. I'll never forget some of the lovely scenery I've observed: icy fjords, red dunes, patchworks of fields in Europe, vast lakes at night where glittering stars reflected, the darkest nights over Africa where vast expanses were lit only by the occasional lightning cloud and campfires.
Evocative and dreamy, thanks for the images..
thanks for the images you put in my head.
I moved out of professional aviation to be home for my kids, but I look back fondly on the experiences of my career as well. I used to do airborne survey -- treetop level flying all over Northern Canada, did a stint in Ireland, Burgundy region of France (I have dozens of photos of old castles and Chateaus), Suriname jungle, and the mountains of Colorado among many other places.
So much stunning scenery, many endless hours of boredom in the cockpit, and a few moments of excitement. Great memories but that time is over now.
Stevie's checklist procedure is amazing, and it's done multiple times, but the shot I always love the most is when the engine is cranking and she's furiously working to get the engine to fire up. The landings are so gentle, it's all beautiful.
youtube recommended a video of a guy younger than me solo sailing the pacific in a 27ft boat and now this girl making amazing flights across the country look as easy as an afternoon jog. I am inspired 👹
she doesn't fly at night
I've grown up around small planes and helicopters and the pilots are almost always older men so seeing a young female pilot is extremely refreshing. I'm looking forward to a time where this is a typical sight. It's so cool how you are recording the video and audio of these flights! You are inspiring many young people to become pilots with these videos, great job Stevie!
I’ve loved planes since I was little, and have noticed the same. Mostly what I’ve noticed is just that it’s older people, period. I’m happy for all the youth that want to fly and are finding a way to do it. I’m more or less stuck in a work loop (trucker), so I *kind of* live it vicariously through them. I’m just happy to see new faces getting to live that thrill! Hopefully, more people can come in and revitalize, and maintain the hobby.
32:24 balls tb @ 150 eh notice their apu .. brakes flaps - You go girl !!
I think it's awesome to see younger people in aviation too! I do think that aviation will go through a big change once suppressed technology gets released though. Electro-gravitics among other tech will see more people in the air period. Will never replace the manual process of what flying and ICE aircraft is like though.
Wow what a terrible statment to say it like that. Might as well say you support men losing there jobs as pilot's just because you see to many and need to be replaced with women for ascetic purposes alone as it wasn't about the capability but the visual preference. Might want to change your perspective before you take action on others existence.
@@dbitely01 *their* jobs as *pilots* ... *too* many ... *aesthetic* purposes ... *others'* existence ...
This seems absolutely insane to me as someone who’s scared to death of flying especially in small planes! But wow I really respect how at such a young age you’re absolutely rocking this and are brave enough to just go off on your own! Would love you as a commercial pilot I’d feel super calm

@@alexastorm97 I never once mentioned her sex nor does it matter to me at all 🤷🏻♀️ I’m amazed more how at her age she’s so independent and learnt such a complex skill! Your comment is completely off topic and irrelevant

Just gotta say also never once did I mention how calm she is, I commented that she’d make ME feel calm as someone who’s scared of flying! I think you need to take your head out of your 21st century snowflake arse and get a grip 🙄 you sound like one of these extreme modern day feminists and quite frankly that’s part of one of society’s problems 😴
@@alexastorm97 You could never be a pilot.
It Appears Alise bailed out……
Navigating, communicating, piloting, and still having the time to explain everything is beyond impressive.
Ultra-brilliant exceptional like no other woman.
Thumbs up, Stevie.
There are plenty of women that do this. You're simping, like all people from your country do.
Mounting the camera on that wing was a nice touch. Legendary shot
The way you conduct the pre-flight, the procedures, everything... total inspiration! can't wait to get my license this year! Thanks for the uploads and good luck on the rest of the journey!!
After over 15,000 hours in large commercial airplanes you have motivated me to fly a small plane again. I need to takes my two daughters up and maybe spark their desire to be a pilot.
If you want to keep then alive and healthy I wouldn’t do that. Fly all you want but don’t get them into it if they aren’t already. My dad and best friend are dead From a crash that was not survivable. Dad was F4 F16 pilot and an instructors instructor. It’s all fun until your dead and exploding in flames.
@@michiganwoodsman2199sorry to hear about your loss but that doesn't mean any general aviation plane is going down immediately
@@michiganwoodsman2199 sorry for your loss, but do I not drive a car because my brakes might fail or someone may crash into my car? Should I not go out of the house because I may die from a criminal? I have flown over 5,000 hours in light aircraft and over 15,000 hours in commercial aircraft. Anything can happen on any day but I’m not going to live my life in fear of something that has a tiny fraction of a percentage.
@@chrisroberts3963 I 100 percent agree! Just thinking about your daughters is all.
@@michiganwoodsman2199 Flying is safer than driving a car.
I had no idea that people are communicating so much all the time with flight control during flights. Very cool video.
Of course they do! Or else you will have debris falling into everyone's home
I've been up in my friends plane in the Uk, had none of it, just set off down his field and did a 15 mile loop.
It depends on what she is doing. At the moment I believe she is flying vfr with flight following or might be IFR both of which are really useful when doing longer flights. When you do quick flights and just want to mess around than you can fly VFR and go nuts (out of controlled airspaces)
Keep in mind each video is several hours cut down to just a few minutes by taking out all the silence. We are not anywhere near as busy as this makes it look.
@@jcnt9292 You do know that VFR and IFR has nothing to do with whether the airspace is controlled, right? IFR (Instrument flight rules) are a set of rules you follow when using instruments to fly/navigate, due to not being able to see outside of the cockpit due to weather or IMC conditions. VFR (visual flight rules) are a set of rules you follow during a normal flight when you can see outside, and even night flights do count as VFR in case you're wondering. As long as you can see that your plane is flying straight and level and you can see other aircraft or runway lights from a distance then it's considered VFR. So fog (for low level flying), heavy rain, clouds or flying in any other similar obstruction would be considered IMC and you need to follow IFR. You also have to be rated to fly IFR, that's your instrument rating. It is 100% illegal to fly IFR without an instrument rating unless you are flying with an instrument rated instructor (CFII, Certified Flight Instructor with Instruments) I doubt she has an instrument rating and she is 100% flying VFR. In fact only slightly over 50-60% of private pilots are instrument rated. It costs more money to obtain that rating and as long as you don't have a need to fly into IMC weather then you don't need it anyway.
I have no idea why RUclips recommend this to me but MAN this is the coolest thing I've ever seen! "Hey, what you doing today?" "Oh not much, you know, just going for a casual fly across the country."
Watching her go through the preflight is seriously impressive. Well done.
Interesting that she does the entire checklist sequence every single time out loud. I know that's how pilots are trained, but it's still really cool to see she has solo accountability and is keeping herself and others in the air safe.
I've been flying for 25 years and while I could do it by memory and braille at this point, I do the same thing. Removing stuhpid pilot mistakes eliminates a third of the things that kills people in general aviation airplanes. Avoid them Airfloriduh onff's.
@@akiko009 Flying for 25 year's, but it must be said, it's disturbing to see many spelling errors in your post.
@@donnabaardsen5372 If that's all you are capable of commenting on, perhaps you could just keep it to yourself.
It is not reality either.
if you ain't go nobody to double check your action, you double check yourself
I suffer from flight anxiety every time I travel. It doesn’t stop me from traveling but I’m a nervous wreck every time I’m in the air. Watching Stevie be so comfortable and in control inspires me to keep trying to overcome my fears. She is a total badass and I have so much respect for her skill, professionalism, and passion for flying.
Me too I just can’t stop being afraid of flying . I have a flight next week and I am super scared lol 😭
That could be because you’re not the one in control of the aircraft when you’re in control of the vehicle do you have far less anxiety than you do when somebody else is in control
@@marzhayez3428 Same same. I live in China and I’m moving to Japan in June. There was recently a plane crash and since then I’ve been nothing but terrified about flying in June.
I also suffer from flight anxiety every time I travel. Except, its the opposite.. I am a wreck up until takeoff, but once in the air, I'm calm and cool.
@@n4musica you will be okey safe travels 🤗
A good mix of "let's get going" and exactly HOW you DO follow procedure when using a plane. Well done.
You are the Queen of checklists. Really enjoying watching you make this trip.

This girl is having the time of her life! Thanks for making this video, lot's of fun to come along with you! Great of you for sharing! I wish you many more happy landings!
Looks like a young lady who's had some great opportunities throughout her young life and the best parenting and leadership to be able to do what she does. I'd love to see kids of whom could never dream of this level be given a chance to do this kind of thing. I would love to see the kids of the inner city have a chance to simply walk through the wilderness among the trees and the rivers and the mountains and the animals. These kids will need to fly over it once they see it, feel it, smell it and believe in it and these kids just maybe will be able to fly over it too some day. If they have a need to. I believe all the kids should and will have the opportunity to experience flight.

We are luck to live in a country where if someone really sets their mind on achieving something and works hard at achieving their goal, they in most cases, will succeed. Im thankful for video like this. Hopefully it will inspire people of all walks of life. Hell, i want to fly now.
She has earned her success in being talented and working hard to achieve what she has. Let's take a moment to celebrate that.
Yes she had good support from her parents and had great opportunities, but she worked hard to even get those opportunities and become the pilot she is. Let’s talk about that
Great poiny. Good parenting & guidance are number. Some will never be in the same position no matter because of how they were brought up & where.
It doesnt take away from her sucess & hard work. Its just simply the truth & how the world works.
totally nice comment
This is the proverbial ,"breath of fresh air", thanks for sharing a glimpse of this world you live and work so hard in Stevie!
Love to see my fellow aviation girlies thriving. I’m an air traffic controller. It would be a pleasure hearing you over frequency 💕
Keep safe up there ✌ 🙏 🕊
I love ATC! Thank you for taking care of us up there 🙌
Have you thought of making a video about a day in ATC? not sure if there's security concerns but it would be cool to see a vlog from the inside
Have you ever thought about making videos about atc? I want to get into that field and looking for more insight into it

What a truly impressive young woman you are, and what an amazing adventure you are having. Your folks must be so proud of you. Good luck in California.
I stumbled upon this video and was going to watch it for a few minutes, half an hour later I was still watching it. The radio chatter and the landings make for the best show in town. Well done!!!
same
Dude this is awesome! I can only imagine the sense of freedom not only with this particular flight, but with the move as a whole. Your excitement is definitely infectious. Good luck in Cali!
Being a newish GA, VFR pilot, it's still a little intimidating talking to ATC and repeating back all their garble. I love how proficient you are as if it's your own language. Great videos Stevie! Thanks
I was a controller for over 25 years. Don't look at ATC as the police, look at them as another crew member there to keep you safe. If you are confused fess up, tell them you are green and to rephrase the instruction. If they are a jerk so what? Most aren't and will gladly help you out.
@@thundermustard I don't fly (yet) and hoping to start soon... It's been a dream. I noticed in the video too how intimidating speaking to ATC could be... This was a great reframe you suggested - I'll remember it for the future! Cheers
@@thundermustard been flying for almost 20 yrs and my interactions with ATC have been mostly positive. Well there was a time out of Atlanta where I told the guy he needed that vacation he kept talking about to another pilot.
You can always tell us to slow down. We get it. A good controller won’t get upset over that
Not sure why I was recommended this, but this woman is making me want to be in that plane and learn how to fly and she is making it look like the coolest freaking thing in the world..
Now I just need to become a hot girl..
It is indeed very cool.
As a pilot, can confirm if is an amazing experience to fly your own plane. Can’t give details about being a hot girl though as I’m a guy lmao
Same. God I want to learn so bad. For now I’m gonna get a flight sim setup
@@jonahshmona7366 You can do it Jonah. It only cost me $65 to learn to fly and around $4500 to learn to land. LOL
This video makes me smile! Not a pilot but can appreciate someone who knows and loves what they do. Awesome job Stevie!!
The shot on final at Amarillo brought back memories of flying into there when it was an Air Force base for USAF Basic Training May 1966 on a USAF C-121 Constellation. I remember B-52's flying over us while marching in the HOT sun. Great video, enjoyed the ride ! Your a good Pilot ! GOD Bless and stay safe !
That was awesome. I loved it.
I live in amarillo its beautiful from above
I worked in the AMA FAA Control Tower and TRACON in 1967-1968. I also received my Private Pilot’s License there in 1968. It was fun making touch & go landings on one of the longest and widest runways in the United States. I was 22 years old then.
Great video, all of my pilot friends say they can always tell a pro from a novice based on how comfortable they are with communications! Can't wait to show my little girl your video, she's only 3, but absolutely obsessed with planes right now and I'd love to show her what's possible if she sets her mind to it!
World needs more great dads like you. Keep up the good work. My dad did excellent job in raising this "little girl" and I'm forever grateful to him because of that.
I've done almost the same route twice years ago in my Mooney. Brought back memories. Great radio work! And you were still amazingly perky after a very long day of solo flying.
As you probably know well ;pilot's self care and wellbeing is the most important part of flying. Fatigued, dehydrated, hungry etc. pilot poses a huge security risk. It seems she's skilled in taking care of that front as well.
13:53 I think you’re a fantastic pilot and I really love your attention to detail and how you continuously go over every little thing. Even though you just landed you just got out of the airplane you had to use the bathroom you came back to your airplane and you’re now going back over every single little thing some may find that redundant and tedious but the fact that you do this and pay attention to every little detail reduces the margin of error to nothing other than a electrical or mechanical failure which is out of your control you are amazing! You must be really good at your job as a software programmer which takes a lot of detail and attention I really enjoy your videos I love the bonanza
Impressive flying and good discipline and safety habits. Safe travels and looking forward to the next video.
I've never seen something this epic in my life. Inspiring. So epic, rock on.
I noticed how you changed fuel tanks @6:30. That is a very exact procedure.
When the minute hand of the clock is from 12 to 6, I fly on the Right tank. When the minute hand is from 6-12, I fly on he Left tank. Any time I look down I can verify with my clock with the tank I should be on.
I enjoy watching your videos.
I admire you a lot for being able to fly a plane and travel all alone. I love this video and it’s so beautiful being able to see the ground without freaking out because I’m not in the sky
Great video!!! I love how you are so comfortable with radio calls and follow the checklists. Great piloting!!
This is such a joy to watch. Flying in the Southwest is so beautiful. We need more aviators like this. Thank you for the share.
I like the checklist callouts. Imagine if we all drove our cars like that.
Also, it's fun to listen to the accents change as you cross the country, especially on the weather radio.
Wish I could buy V tail Bonanza, they are pretty fast. But flying isn’t cheap, a Bonanza costing around $108,000 dollars has operating costs around $285 per hour, and a person who is a competent pilot like this young lady must fly several hours per week. Need financial source to be practical.
When I lived in Colorado weather and vehicle awareness was always playing in my mental checklist. Living in the middle of nowhere Appalachian Mountains travel is limited due to choice but my pre-travel checklist is still the same
Why is it so expensive? I'm not an airplane guy and I've been trying to add it up what it would cost to take a cherokee 6 from upper michigan to Florida and I came up with around 650-800 in fuel at 16 gallons an hour. What makes it cost so much more than the 100 gas?
@@saltofearthyooper don’t forget maintenance and maybe $3000 for it’s annual. They are just amazing planes, stay out of IFR unless you are very qualified and current. That’s why they call them Doctor Killers.
@@Mightiflier Yep. Being paid at the level of a software engineer developing mobile apps would certainly be a necessity.
Stevie, your personality is infectious. Your videos are a delight to view. Your treatment of strangers is commendable
You made my day when I saw this video drop! I am amazed at how calm, cool, collected and comfortable you are in flying and handling all the radio interactions. I look forward to day 3 and new content when you get settled in your new surroundings.
You are a very skilled pilot. Fun to watch. And very clear on the coms. I'm amazed how many people don't realize how key good radio communications are.
Really love the relationship the pilots have with the controllers, so considerate and kind.

I love this girl lol she's just casually drinking her ice coffee while she's flying an airplane 6,000 feet in the air
Awesome! I wish you a safe journey. Use caution over the mountains of California in a single-engine airplane. People have a tendency to jump out of perfectly good airplanes in that area for some reason. It's a weird phenomenon, but it has happened.
Cheers from Louisiana.
LMAO!
Don’t worry, won’t be jumping out of my plane instead of performing proper emergency ops anytime soon 😉
This comment is golden

This one cracked me up
Great videos. I spent 30 years flying FAR 121, regional for 4 years and international airfreight for 26 (DC8, 757,767,747 -400/8). Now I fly my Cessna 206G to backcountry airstrips in Utah and Idaho. You do a good job in that classic Bonanza. Remarkable what Beech built in late 1940s.
Literally the most badass thing I’ve ever seen. I’ll never not be thoroughly infatuated and simultaneously terrified by aviation.
I don't fly however, I have friends and family that do. So I've been an aviation enthusiast for a long time. The Bonanza is one of my favorite planes. That's how I came across your videos. I thoroughly enjoy them. You are an awesome pilot. Keep the great videos coming!
"Happy Sunday!" Perfect. Enjoying following your flight. Everything is better with coffee!
Love the frequency handoff and relay. So nice to hear pilots helping out.
I used to fly fairly regularly in my teens. Absolutely loved it. Had a few flights here and there in light aircraft over subsequent years but work and career has been in the way for 15 years. Your videos have reignited the flame I have for flying and I’m going to my local airfield to chat to them about obtaining my PPL and eventually even purchase a plane. I’ve had a good career so I can afford my own plane now 👍🏻
Absolutly amazing! My eyes even started to water a bit as it got me emotional. You look so professional, concentrated and still so unbelieveble cool and freindly. You also show a great example to all the young people out there, that you can reach the skies (literally). Well done Stevie x

I have learned so much from watching and also reading the brilliant comments left by everyone else. Safe onward journey ☘ and I look forward to seeing part 3 😀
That's so awesome that your little women are learning that they can do anything they want in life!
When you were getting fuel,the king air right next to you is what my dad used to fly,he would've loved seeing your video's.He was a pilot and instructor for 35 years ; )
So the tail number is the same as your father's King Air, which means he owns that one in the video? Small world my brother.
Im a commercial pilot . Honestly she is the most brilliant pilot Ive watched in my life . Even her landing was the ever best ive seen . Bravvo Ma'am
It was butter, indeed.
Get it
After 38 years of flying in navy and TWA thank goodness for check lists!
that’s pretty alarming
I was there at Falcon field back in the 70's at an airshow, and 'Bobby Bishop' was flying his BD5J, what a fun character he was! Stevie, you sure are a wonderful role model and my hero! Lots of success and happiness to you dear Lady!!
Mike in Oregon
It was such fun watching the pilots doing their manuveurs when I lived out near Falcon Field back in the 70s. Arizona was awesome back then.
Stevie, I love how you GUMP'd loudly. Gas, Under Carriage, Mixture and Props. I counted you doing this around 3 times on each approach....GOOD HABITS TO DEVELOP! Here's wishing you 45 Min's reserve on every one of your flights.

Congrats Stevie, I'm literally gobsmacked! You're so confident when you're flying... Definitely you're born to be a pilot! Hugs from Italy!
It could be, also, that she doesn't know what she doesn't know. She's definitely good, but I get the distinct feeling that she might be a bit over-confident. It's a very common problem.
@@-108- that's interesting. could you be more specific why you think she could be over-confident? She appears remarkably well prepared to me, and other pilots in the comments appear impressed with her preparation and thoroughness

Agreed :)
Awesome video thank you
I’ve always told my wife that there are so many great things to accomplish in Life than to worry about a Family member bringing you down. I love this video I’m watching. This brought a Tearful joy to me. My 4 Boys will be doing great things in life just like this amazing young lady.
I really work myself up when flying but this made me feel so much better seeing everything they do and checking the plane everytime
This absolutely blew my mind!!! Amazing. Goals for sure!
You had some nice VFR weather. The video makes it all look so easy. But I know that was more tiring than you made it look. As a 25 year pilot, I would fly with you anytime. You're solid.

@@agps4418 Amen, you don't rest till you're dead
Thanks for being on topic and doing things correctly and having fun doing it. You're a good example for student pilots to see, doing things properly, maintaining cockpit vigilance and not getting caught up on anyone thing to the neglect of others. I haven't seen your other vids yet but maybe you could do one on flight planning also.
You are defiantly an inspiration to many on getting their PPL! Sharing your communication on take off, in air, and landing, help a lot to better understand the ATC communication. Hoping you can share your complete setup, what you use to take notes (paper or iPad and what apps you use...like Foreflight). Love your videos!
I didn't see anything for notes except an incredible memory.
I'm enjoying these videos. I love your communication skills as it's a must. Lots of detailed information and I'm learning and enjoying every moment of it. You're such a great example and a role model.
I have a daughter that wants to learn to be a pilot. This trip reminds me of my solo trip from Miami to Chicago. Had to break it up into 3 legs.
My hats off to Stevie attempting this trip solo. There is alot of things you have to do alone and she did everything so great. I miss my flying days.
I’m grew up in Michigan, Dearborn Hts, Walled Lake, got my ticket in Florida and now live in AZ not far from Falcon Field. I could see the Superstition Mountains at the end of the video. Nice airplane! Great video! Blue skies!
Wish my radio calls were as smooth as yours. Great video! Good tip for high DA pilots, take along a pulse oximeter and occasionally check your o2 saturation. On warm days over 10k my O2 saturation begins to drop, especially when not fully hydrated. I’m athletic and live at 6k feet…so it’s not a fitness thing. A friend handed me his pulse oximeter at 10k feet and it measured under 90%, now I believe. Well within regulation to not use O2 at 10.5k, though our body’s performance is affected by DA similar to airplanes. Nowadays, I hit the bottle(both O2 and water) on the high hot cross countries. Most people can deliberately breath and raise O2 saturation in the marginal altitudes, supplemental Oxygen is better. Pulse Oximeters are $45 at any pharmacy and weigh a few ounces, newer iWatch has the capability too. Enjoy the wild West!
Love how she does her checklists more than once and keeps it all under check...safety first!
Mesa-Phoenix, AZ is a great place!! Glad you're having a safe, fun cross-country flight. Might be boring at times although it is 10X worse boredom driving the roads cross-country!
I was recommended this video because I've recently been watching a lot of airplane videos, like cargo flights, animal rescue moving, and more from Sam Chui, so I opened it and I never thought I'd see someone almost my age flying a friken airplane. It honestly got me watching to get my rec pilots permit license, I looked up the prices and its honestly not as expensive as I thought it would be, still kinda expensive but I thought it would be in the hundreds of thousands, it is not. So I'm actually thinking of saving up to get my rec license because this looks like so much fun, and renting a 1 engine airplane for an hour isnt as expensive as I thought it would be, so if I get my license I might go up in the air more often. So I guess what I'm trying to say is thank you Stevie Triesenberg for these videos, they made me want to get my license
You are so correct. There is so much land in the western part of the United States that is untouched. I came across your videos today and I admire your enthusiasm, dedication, and energy! Safe landings!
I have been learning to fly for 2 years now it never really made me happy in any way considering I just saw it as a future career and not for fun after watching this video and seeing the amazing part of aviation and flying I think it really changed my perspective of it all, thank you so much I think ill be enjoying my classes and flights a lot more now on!
Hope that part three is released soon, really enjoyed the first two parts. Been over a month, now looking forward to seeing the ending of this trip.
There are videos of her doing a cross country in California.
It's out now
Not sure how this came up in my feed but wow, you’re such a good pilot! Not just the aircraft control but the coms are so impressive.
I just LOVE southwest USA, it's so clear and you can see for miles! I've lived in Ohio all of my life and have driven to California and back twice, going through Amarillo each time to stop for some good food. You being from Michigan, I know you understand how around here we just don't generally see further than 10 miles or so (on the ground), because of the humidity and just our land in general. I always loved seeing a mountains out there LONG before I got to drive over it. Really enjoying following this trip and thank you for the content!
Fellow ahian here, totally agree. Night sky in the soutwest is amazing as well.
Great job young lady. Very professional and Impressive. Love listening to the chatter. It amazes me how you can comprehend all that information. Happy flying
Imagine going on a blind date with her, thinking how she'll be impressed when you tell her about yourself and your Occupation. You ask her what she does, and she tells you she's a Software Engineer and also loves to fly, and is a Pilot and owns her own plane! Lol
Talk about living life to the fullest!
Her parents have to be so proud of her. 🛩
think you got the wrong website there moore. you must be looking for one of those dating sites
@@chucklemasters6433 cmon man he's just making an observation. She very intelligent with some impressive skills...I concur !
Just dont burnout .... i didnt but wife did i 64 she 62 she QUITE the computor expert but she dumped me six months ago i guess file this spring .. live off of her . Till death do us part.
IF relationships were based on who you are as a person ie... your personality, attractiveness, intelligence, sense of humor, etc.... instead of achievements, and how much money you make.. there wouldn't be anything to imagine. Imagine this.... think about how many couples are mismatched right now, and are unhappy because they married someone based on stupidity rather than true attraction to that person based on who the person is. That's why there are so many divorces as we speak.
@@chucklemasters6433 I would think the LAST place to look for someone is a dating site, and not everyone is looking for a date, some guys are looking for a good wife. If she ever needs a co-pilot, my schedule will free up faster than a Cirrus student on final.
RUclips recommended this video to me and I am so glad it did- I’m also a lowlander planning my first big southwestern cross country in a couple weeks!! Thanks for the informative and well-made video!!
I have landed on that very runway at Albuquerque as a pilot and as a passenger more times then I can count. Even been in that very FBO when I was first leaning to fly. I grew up in Northern New Mexico (Santa Fe) and Southern Colorado (Pagosa Springs). Seeing you fly over the Sandias and Albuquerque got me quite giddy and nostalgic...lol
Seems like so much to remember and have to do before take off! you handle it so calmly your voice is so relaxing to listen.
The Dad in me wants to see this trip to the end and arrive safe! Looking for your next vid.
Stevie. Brilliant production. You make it seem so easy. Your ability is awesome. I am eagerly awaiting the last Part 3 of your trip to California. Best wishes in all your future endeavors .
Awesome! My Michigan to California flight was in 1992, late September, in my Citabria. We too had low clouds in Michigan and great weather the rest of the way. Day 1 East Lansing to Gothenburg Nebraska. Day 2 to Farmington New Mexico. Day 3 to Cortez Colorado, stopping at Mesa Verde, then to Big Bear California. Day 4 to Burbank and a friend's wedding. We shot the flight in 8mm video. Gotta digitize and post!
As someone wanting to learn to fly, watching you communicate tower to tower was helpful to watch. Im glad you keep all your comms in.
What a motivated lady, absolutely impressed with your matter of fact drive and intelligence. A golden reflection of your parents who did such a fine job apparently of raising a gem. As a Father of 2 girls, I take pride in the good people they have become, I am sure your parents are sad to see you spread your wings, but proud of you. Best wishes
I'm sure the mother of those 2 girls takes pride in raising them as well. :)
@@droolpuppy1398 I’d hope so, too. She’s just not here to comment for herself! Lol
Still worth mentioning IMHO
Geday from South Australia. Love your channel and the fact you are just getting out there and doing it. Wish I had followed my dreams earlier and got my full PL like you. Great to see no matter how confident you get, you always stick to the basics and repeat your check lists etc. Good safe flying, good luck with the move.
It’s never too late to start!
Very enjoyable! Amarillo - "Wow, long runway!" Yeah, I've landed on that one. So long we did three touch and goes in the same pass! I believe it was dedicated as an alternate site for transporting the space shuttle cross-country, just because, well, long runway. Keep up the good flying!
You were born with every possible talent to master this! Amazing Job thank you for sharing.
Thorough preparation is a recurring theme at all levels of training and it's the first thing I noticed about your videos. The beauty of the scenery around the desert Southwest takes some getting used to and this reminded me of my own transition from flight training in New England to Embry-Riddle in Arizona. Nicely done in all respects.
wow, the views from 10k feet truly is breathe taking! Im lucky to have stumble upon your channel Love the spirit of flying!
Came across this by accident. I'm glad I did. Never knew just how much was involved in flying. Can't wait for video three - from Arizona to California!!!
I've been flying 43 years, you're an outstanding pilot from what I can see. USN SWCC 1984 to 2014
