OK, so this is like the third time I have watched this video and it just keeps getting better and better. You guys are living the life right now. Kevin, you and Jaime have a special relationship. Work hard and play hard, country music, fishin', Swingin' in the barn, life doesn't get any better. Thanks so much for sharing with us.....
Awesome Steve...glad you enjoyed it! When I'm editing them I watch them several times and it's always fun for me to go back later and watch them again. Puts a different perspective on them. :)
One of my favourites of your series, Kevin! Thank you for sharing a peek into your roots. A family working hard and having fun together. THAT is what it is all about and what we could all use more of in our lives. :)
-- Wow . . . 'Love the Farm and all the inherent ambiance. I left central Illinois in '73 --> Carbondale, and then --> Texas in '75. That was a _very cool_ vicarious experience. Thank you.
I am someone who considered a career in civilian aviation or ATC 30 years ago, but did not "pull the trigger". Love your channel! You both have soothing broadcast voices and don't think about changing your intro music. A great way to start the day at the breakfast table!
Ha ha... I hate repeating myself. :) One of those was for the avionics master I switched off. The other was because my iPad suction mount was loose. Thanks for watching Michael. I just finished a flight where I reset my instrument currency clock. 6 more months. Enjoy the BFR...my last one was pretty cool shutting down an engine in flight and doing the emergency gear extend. Training is always good.
Your videos are awesome. Ever since I saw your first video yesterday I have been glued to RUclips watching all your videos. Thanks for letting us along on all your trips. only wish I could ride along with you one day, LOL.
I love farm life it's a good life I lived on my grandmother's 14 acre ranch back in the seventies when I was going to school we had four horses thanks for a good video man that's great
Thank you for the video. The flight and farm activities. Brought back memories. I got my twin rating in a Cessna 310. Also lived on a working farm in Illinois years ago. Keep flying safe.
Thank's Gary! Flying and farming are two of my most favorite things. Wish I could do more of both! Pretty neat you know about Illinois farming and 310's. :)
@17:20 One of the Best camera set ups I've ever seen in aviation. I could see the runway and read all of dials in detail at the same time. Captain Moonbeam matched this quality once in a Caravan but said it was all luck. Shawn & Jon have some great setups, Steveo, Premier1 and of course the legendary Flight Chops deserve mention.
Thank you! I agree, the guys you mentioned are amazing with their ability to film, fly and edit. Maybe one day I'll get there. :) I agree with Moonbeam in that it is luck sometimes. I've toyed with different settings and locations to try to get clear interior and exterior shots and it's tough. A lot of it has to do with the moisture in the air and sun angle. We'll keep plugging away and see where it goes.
If you're attempting inside and outside photography and videography using the same camera, get a graduated neutral density filter. www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1297080-REG/polar_pro_h5b_1015_venture_filters_3_pack_for.html
videos like this is what finally pushed me over the edge to start training for my ppl! great work! nice bird :) my current cfi used to own a 310h. got a few hours in it before he sold it.glad i had the opportunity to experience it.
Congrats on the new journey Chris! Let us know how the progression goes. 310's make for great traveling machines after you get the basics down. Thanks for the nice words.
Nice video, Kevin - I grew up 12 miles from Monroe and did all of those farm things... haying has come a long way since I did it. Stacking bales in the hay mow was not fun, but we sometimes scored an ice cold Huber when we were finished. And Jaime rocked the barn swing!
Glad you enjoyed it Quade!! I love farm life and was glad to grow up around it down in Georgia. Now that is where I go to find my happy place when things get hectic. :) She was like a little kid mad that I didn't tell her about the swing sooner.
Cant afford an airplane like that in New Jersey. I really need to leave this state. That is a pretty airplane and a great family and friends. Really enjoyed that a lot. God bless
Thanks for my first 'flight' in my very favorite airplane....of all time. I'm 66, and you might be able to guess where I got my love of the 310........ Subscribed.
Great flight, and great landings, Kevin. I could see where you did miss your co-pilot, especially when that “OPPS” occurred. But, Hey, you handled it well. It just kept you busy there for a while. Thanks for sharing the flight, and for sharing the farm activities with us. That farm is one really nice place to “get away” to, and spend time with friends and family. Great video, even if you didn’t have audio on the return. Keep the videos coming, as you can. We really enjoy them. Happy flying, and safe landings.
Thanks Richard, glad you liked it! Having her on the radio does free me up for stuff like that! I'll take the time in the future to verify the gopro is on the correct audio input as it's annoying not to find out till I sit down to edit.
I "agree" with everything in this video!!!! (I'd only change the music...but that is not an official complaint!) Couple buds, couple gals, couple kids, couple dogs, PLANES, fishin, whitetail grounds, workin the land....don't get better than that!!! I just got some 310R time last week...5.5hrs w/ 1.5 in IMC..."Wings of Mercy" flight up into the U.P. (from Ann Arbor MI). Had to get current before we took on our passengers...liked the plane on the ground...fell in love with it as soon as I throttled up for take off. Can't wait for the next "mission"!
Glad you liked this video and all our fun on the farm! I fell in love with 310's at sight first then for certain after the first flight as well. Thanks for the comment!
Very sexy airplane! Especially the "R"...that big ole "beak" really does something for the look. I have another mission this afternoon...headed over to Waukegan(UGN), to pick up and deliver a couple patients to Grand Rapids(GRR), then back home to Howell(OZW). Can't wait!!!
Wow that plane must be very light to be able to push it back by yourself with no help. When I was in the Navy working on the flight deck of an aircraft carrier, every now and then while lining up on the catapult for launch. a pilot would overshoot the cat shuttle and we would have to do a pushback. Depending on the aircraft, it took anywhere between 50 and 100 guys to push one of those heavy military jets back. The F-14 Tomcat at 61,000 lbs loaded was by far the heaviest aircraft we had onboard.
Hello Ron, it is only about 5300 lbs loaded. It is a bit too heavy for me to push back on my own. I have a motorized tug I use at my hangar. This day I just swung close to the grass and used differential power to turn tight into the spot without having to push it back. Thanks for watching and more importantly thank you for your service!!
Thanks Stan! I never seem to have enough time out there but I get out there as much as I can. It's immediately relaxing no matter what all is going on out there.
Another great video , from an Irish pilot with a farming background , you captured it all in that one , the CLAAS harvesters are all over Ireland .!!! keep up the good work . I should be recording some videos in the cirrus here in NY soon .. keep em coming .
Thanks Aidan! Let me know when you get a video up and I'll check it out. Those CLAAS'es are a beast of a machine! Especially when you use them to chop corn to make silage.
KRFD was a teaching controller field for new ATC employee's a good friend of mine Scott Hartwig taught there then went to Chicago Center. After he retired he was my instructor at Rock Valley College when I went through the Aviation Maintenance Program. Awesome guy!
I enjoy your videos. Nice Tundra you have too. I have an 08. It looks like you have a 2nd gen too. Cool plane you guys have. Thanks for the videos. God bless.
Glad you are enjoying them JB! Mine is a 12 ...love that thing! Going to drive it till she crumbles. I've had that thing in lots of bad situations...including the fox river...and she keeps coming back for more. :)
Thanks Baron! Still hope we can get together sometime. Ha ha. Like to show others what not to do sometimes to be able to impart some simple wisdom. :) Jaime's pure enjoyment on the swing was too good not to throw in the video.
Thank you James! Lot's of people (myself included) have taken breaks from flying for different reasons. It's great to get back up in the sky though...you should get back up there!
That automated message on the Monroe frequency sure brought back memories of working out of the Visalia airport for 24 IFR winters. The most depressing thing to hear on that was, visability Less than 1/4 mile
I sure do enjoy watching your videos ,, finally someone close to my area ,, although i have never been to the monroe air port ,, i live just a little EAST of monroe in BELOIT.. and do get over that way at times just for a little ride ... or to go over to the casinos in Dubuque IA.. I might have been past the farm a bunch of time in my journeys . just never knew it .. but it sure is nice to see someone come over this way by air .. I also like to fly , I guess thats what has gotten me to watch your vids.. good job ..
Nice to see the geography in that part of our country. I live in Vermont. Mountainous and hilly terrain here. Thanks for the video. I like the farm. Looks like you guys are living right. Or at least similar values to ours. 👍
Thanks Rod...it is beautiful where you live but not as many emergency landing areas! We love it out at the farm...we prefer a more country style of living than the city. :)
Seems like from the other videos you live in the coldest place on the planet and never gets warm - amazing how fast things change - this video kind of hits you in the face after watching all the others including the recent dam trip...
Haven't seen ya for awhile, glad you had time to do another video. You nailed the landing buddy, very nice and smooth. That was a really nice farm with lots to do after the work is done, lol. Two great landings, thank you again for sharing and take care.
Sorry for the delay, been a busy few weeks. I have another video I'm going to start editing now. Hopefully I'll get it up in a week or so and will do a better job of regular updates. Thanks about the landings, in my next video you'll see the worse landing I've done in many many years. It wasn't hard but I actually bounced it a bit...not easy to do in a heavy twin. :) There is always a lot to do at the farm but I love helping out and of course the fishing/hunting!
Use to go to my grandpa's place all the time, a lot of hard work but a lot of fun time playing to. You do a magnificent job of flying, I'm sure we all have our bad days. If you can walk away from a landing I would consider it a good one, lol. Thanks again
Cool channel! I got my ME training in a C-310D back in 1987, at a flight school in South Carolina. It was a hoot--and I had a lot of fun learning to fly multi-engine aircraft in that thing. Then I took my ME checkride in it, in Columbia SC, after dark...because the examiner was pissed we were late for the ride...because the other student that day absolutely blew his ride several hours earlier in the afternoon. Then he was literally bawling, so we had to fly him back to the little flight school out in the sticks about 30 minutes south of Columbia. Needless to say the examiner wasn't at all happy we were 2-3 hours late, and I got the oral and flight test of my life. Multiple missed approaches, a couple on a single engine. Multiple Vmc demonstrations as well. Yeah, that was fun. Did I mention he was also a check airman in the SC National Guard? I think he was a Lt Col or maybe a full bird. He was pissed, lol. Thankfully I had just gotten my CFII a week or so before that, so I was very proficient on the IFR regs, as well and flying IMC. Otherwise it would have been a bloodbath. I thought he'd fail me but he didn't. What a checkride. Glad I wasn't in the military about then. Your 310 has an awesome panel though--much nicer than we had in that old beaten-down 310D back in the day.
Thanks for the comment and glad you're enjoying the channel Tom! Pretty cool you did your ME in a 310. I did mine in a dog of a Seneca 1 down in Georgia...they don't climb on one in the heat very well. :)
I'm sure they don't, lol. That checkride is the only time I think I've ever done a full missed-approach on one engine, and we did it twice. Once was an ILS, but the second time was an NDB approach. At least he didn't make me actually feather the engine though...although maybe he would have if it would have been daytime? It's eerie though flying into an airport you've never been into before, when it's a pitch-black night. No moon hardly at all, and me trying to find a single-runway airport in the middle Columbia SC. Quite the experience that I've never forgotten to this day. What model 310 is yours? I owned an Aztec for about 8-9 years, but worked on it far more than I flew it. It definitely helps to have an A&P ticket when you buy one of those older twins, because you're going to have to fix some things.
Thanks Josh and I agree...not much beats having a backwoods good time! Nice collaboration with Baron Pilot recently. If you ever make it up to IL and want a spin in the 310 let me know.
Do you have a video with your background or just general info about yourself?? I'm sure everyone would like to know who you are and how you started flying.. if you haven't already.. point me in the right direction and keep up the videos! Yeeewwww!
Well if you like county music with a dash of rap, fat girls and cheap beer, then you're in hog heaven. Or you could be Santa Cruz....slim, smart surfer girls and cool cars and excellent craft beer, and cessna 421's and super cubs.
good recovery on the av master...I glued clear washers to those switches ...touchy feely! noooooow! that is a spread!!!! it dont get much better than that.....
Knock on wood, I've never touched anything with the plane. The camera angle may have made it look that way though. I'm really careful to stay on the painted lines to make sure that doesn't happen. I fast forward those sometimes and it may have look that way.
@@310Pilot I'm new and watching the video's randomly, and it looks like you invested a few bucks into your nav system. Your wife is a controller, are you too.
Love this. Wish there were some single men out there like this....Everything about this is perfect....except for the 310. Kind of a Cougar girl myself :)
Awesome! Love the farm! You sir are living the good life.. i'm jealous lol. btw... passed my PPL written last week w/ 100%, and checkride is coming up June 18! Wish me luck, and keep the videos coming
i failed my first check ride summer 1970s the old bastard showed up pissed at the world.....DPE from hell.. I got my chance to tell him off years later he did it to few other guys I hear. bastard came over to talk to me at the station FBO and when he said Hi. I responded i guess you didnt chock on the 150.00 dollars such a pitty! and walked off..Yeh he knew what it was for!!!! i dont think anybody liked him from what i gathered...he was still DPE for the area so I went to a different area flew it for a week and passed by flying colors as I should have done then. bastards are like AOs gotta deal with some can by pass others. good video especially your commo. getting to old to go without safety pilot but I still love it...
Cool video...thanks Kevin & Jamie. I enjoyed the farm activities. Actually, I am heading to my beef cattle farm in Missouri for a visit from Northeast Ohio in my Cherokee 180 tomorrow. :-)
Thank you Don! I love my time at the farm. I try to get over there as much as I can...it's our second home. :) Hope you have a nice flight out to your farm tomorrow!
Kevin, just wondering if the props are contra rotating or do the ro9tate in the same direction...which strikes me as that would be a lot of torque to counter in flight...
enjoy so much watching you all every chance i get fly high have fun watching from PC FL
OK, so this is like the third time I have watched this video and it just keeps getting better and better. You guys are living the life right now. Kevin, you and Jaime have a special relationship.

Glad you enjoyed it Dan! That is my happy place out there. :)
@@310Pilot can I see a real time flight from Chicago to Missouri?
Country living. I kinda liked just hearing the airplane on the way home. Music to my ears. Thanks for the video.
That's my kind of living. Glad you enjoyed the video!
What a paradise. I see pheasant and deer hunting, fishing, the beach and more. Lots of work but paradise. Love the vent rib in frame too.
You are correct...my kind of paradise. Love chasing the white tails out there!
-- Wow . . . 'Love the Farm and all the inherent ambiance. I left central Illinois in '73 --> Carbondale, and then --> Texas in '75.
That was a _very cool_ vicarious experience. Thank you.
Enjoy all your videos. Found you about a month ago and always looking for your new videos. Awesome 310 and a superb pilot. Will be a fan 4 life
Too Cool! Could be Texas...in your Summer! Sound of a twin - never gets old. Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it Tim! Summer is short up here but nice!
Hey... I’m an old disabled guy in Texas. Since I’m mostly housebound I enjoy your videos a lot. Thanks for doing them, please keep it up.
Glad you are enjoying them Rick...I have a bunch of cool ones coming up as soon as I can get caught up on editing them.
Planes, farm, fishin, and a little barn swingin for good measure. My fav vid so far. Nice job Kevin!
Awesome, thanks Steve!
Love the farm. Nothing beats the country life. Thanks for sharing.
You're welcome...I agree! That is my happy place. :)
Now that was a good landing. Touched down like a butterfly with sore feet! 👍✌️
I really like the fact that Jaime said "shut the front door " instead of dropping an "F BOMB" . You've got a great gal there.
She's the best Chris!
I am someone who considered a career in civilian aviation or ATC 30 years ago, but did not "pull the trigger". Love your channel! You both have soothing broadcast voices and don't think about changing your intro music. A great way to start the day at the breakfast table!
Thank you for the feedback and glad you're enjoying the channel!!!
Don't know how i missed this one but glad iv'e seen it now. Now i know what farm life is like, looks like a whole lot of fun to me. Thanks mate.
You're welcome Spiro! Glad you are still liking the videos. Farm life is the best!
9:43 and 10:43, "I'm all sorts of . . . out of sorts." Thanks for bringing us along. Reminds me its time for BFR.
Ha ha... I hate repeating myself. :) One of those was for the avionics master I switched off. The other was because my iPad suction mount was loose. Thanks for watching Michael. I just finished a flight where I reset my instrument currency clock. 6 more months. Enjoy the BFR...my last one was pretty cool shutting down an engine in flight and doing the emergency gear extend. Training is always good.
Enjoyed the visit to the farm...made me feel back home..thanks

I loved this vid. flying, farm, 4wheelers, fishin, country music, and im sure there was a bbq in there. Nice :)
You are correct about the BBQ. :) That is all my kind of living!
Wow! What a life you lead. You two are truly blessed...Grace & Peace to you both.🙂
I agree Kevin....very blessed! :)
Thanx for sharing a little farm life great mixing up the video like that

Awesome video. I love aviation and the country life
Thanks...same here on both! Deer season in two weeks!
Having learned to fly in the Chicago Airspace, Schaumburg, and spent some time at Aurora, I really enjoy Kevin and Jaime's adventures.
Awesome!! Really glad you are enjoying the videos. That's what this is all about. :)
Love the green. Can’t wait for Spring......winter just started
Sigh...me too! In the mean time, my new heater should be in next week. I'm excited to get that upgrade done. :)
Great video Kevin and it is nice to see that you and Jamie have country hearts. Your channel is great. Subscribed.

I've only gone up in a Navion once about 20 years ago. They are really neat planes.
Excellent visibility, on the video. I have not ridden in a 310 in 30+ years.
Thank you...glad you thought it turned out well! 310's are great planes...of course I may be bias. :)

Burger trips are nice too but not much beats the farm!
You my kind of people country folk! George Strait, Colt Ford and a little clean fun on the farm!
That describes my kind of fun well!
Nice to see such a well kept 310, kudos. And a nice clean hangar, very cool. Now let's move that avionics master switch, lol.
Thank you JP! I have my headset chord routed differently so hopefully I do flip the switch again!
Great video! Makes me miss my younger days on the farm. Good times!
Thanks Stan! I never seem to have enough time out there but I get out there as much as I can. It's immediately relaxing no matter what all is going on out there.
I love that three legged dog....amazing how fast he can run!
Smokey is just as happy with 3 as he was with 4 legs. :) He still runs and plays for miles.
Nice video! Glad to see I'm not the only pilot that's turned off the avionics by mistake!
Thanks Ben! That was a first for me but I've been known to make a mistake or two from time to time. :)
Another great video , from an Irish pilot with a farming background , you captured it all in that one , the CLAAS harvesters are all over Ireland .!!! keep up the good work . I should be recording some videos in the cirrus here in NY soon .. keep em coming .
Thanks Aidan! Let me know when you get a video up and I'll check it out. Those CLAAS'es are a beast of a machine! Especially when you use them to chop corn to make silage.

Parabéns pelo trabalho
Noticed when you landed at Monroe, soon as you were taxiing, you had the side window open and your arm out. Ga thing.
KRFD was a teaching controller field for new ATC employee's a good friend of mine Scott Hartwig taught there then went to Chicago Center. After he retired he was my instructor at Rock Valley College when I went through the Aviation Maintenance Program. Awesome guy!
Actually, I retired out of the Chicago TRACON which, I think, is where Kevin and Jaimie both work now. Thanks for the kind words...I’ll pay ya later😎
I enjoy your videos. Nice Tundra you have too. I have an 08. It looks like you have a 2nd gen too. Cool plane you guys have. Thanks for the videos. God bless.

Sweet! ...I'm on 17 acres in MO. Hoping to upgrade to over 100 in Wyoming within 5 years....with a grass strip of course.
That's awesome...17 and for sure 100 is better than 1! I love getting out there away from all the hustle and bustle! Good luck on your big move!
Beautiful approach to landing
Thanks! :)
I sure do enjoy watching your videos ,, finally someone close to my area ,, although i have never been to the monroe air port ,, i live just a little EAST of monroe in BELOIT.. and do get over that way at times just for a little ride ... or to go over to the casinos in Dubuque IA.. I might have been past the farm a bunch of time in my journeys . just never knew it .. but it sure is nice to see someone come over this way by air .. I also like to fly , I guess thats what has gotten me to watch your vids.. good job ..
Glad you are enjoying some of the views from above your local area Bob! Thanks for watching. :)
Congrats on 5K subs!!!!!
Flying then farming, CANNOT get better than that! Making silage? Loved the grass blast you got!
Thanks Daniel! Glad people are liking the channel and subscribing. Yeah, we were making silage for the dairy cows.
THIS IS A COOL VIDEO, KNOW EVERYONE AND EXACTLY WHERE YOU WERE!!
Awesome! Then you must be a good person.
Nice to see the geography in that part of our country. I live in Vermont. Mountainous and hilly terrain here. Thanks for the video. I like the farm. Looks like you guys are living right. Or at least similar values to ours. 👍
Thanks Rod...it is beautiful where you live but not as many emergency landing areas! We love it out at the farm...we prefer a more country style of living than the city. :)
What great looking farm.....
I agree...my home away from home. :)
Love the sound of those engines at takeoff.
I agree Steve! One of the many sounds of happiness!
Seems like from the other videos you live in the coldest place on the planet and never gets warm - amazing how fast things change - this video kind of hits you in the face after watching all the others including the recent dam trip...
Yeah, I think they said it went from snow to over 90 degrees in 3 1/2 weeks. Crazy "spring"! Glad winter is over though!
Good stuff Sir! that was a busy departure!
Thank you! Nothing like a little self inflicted avionics shut off to help make a busy time busier. :) Lesson learned.
Haven't seen ya for awhile, glad you had time to do another video. You nailed the landing buddy, very nice and smooth. That was a really nice farm with lots to do after the work is done, lol. Two great landings, thank you again for sharing and take care.
Sorry for the delay, been a busy few weeks. I have another video I'm going to start editing now. Hopefully I'll get it up in a week or so and will do a better job of regular updates. Thanks about the landings, in my next video you'll see the worse landing I've done in many many years. It wasn't hard but I actually bounced it a bit...not easy to do in a heavy twin. :) There is always a lot to do at the farm but I love helping out and of course the fishing/hunting!
Use to go to my grandpa's place all the time, a lot of hard work but a lot of fun time playing to. You do a magnificent job of flying, I'm sure we all have our bad days. If you can walk away from a landing I would consider it a good one, lol. Thanks again
New to the channel. Enjoyed this and look forward to future ones.
Hello Paul...glad you found us and are enjoying it so far! We have lots more fun stuff planned. Just wish we had more time in the day. :)
Cool video. I'm sure it's a nice change of pace from life in the city. Reminds me how lucky I am to live and work on a farm... and to be a pilot.
Thanks Alan! I LOVE getting out there and away from the city. You are very lucky to live and work on a farm in my opinion!!
The "Swing Show" was the highlight of this video.......... ;-)
learning a lot watching your videos man. Thank you for posting!
Thanks Ricardo! I'm just glad our sharing is enjoyable for people.
You have very good taste in Head ware. Go Dawgs!
That's right...go Dawgs! You're not related to a Paul from Oconee County GA by any chance are you?
Another great episode!!!
Thank you...glad you thought so! :)
love the 310 nice power, etc... makes me want to get my pilots license...thanks...
Cool channel!
I got my ME training in a C-310D back in 1987, at a flight school in South Carolina. It was a hoot--and I had a lot of fun learning to fly multi-engine aircraft in that thing. Then I took my ME checkride in it, in Columbia SC, after dark...because the examiner was pissed we were late for the ride...because the other student that day absolutely blew his ride several hours earlier in the afternoon. Then he was literally bawling, so we had to fly him back to the little flight school out in the sticks about 30 minutes south of Columbia. Needless to say the examiner wasn't at all happy we were 2-3 hours late, and I got the oral and flight test of my life. Multiple missed approaches, a couple on a single engine. Multiple Vmc demonstrations as well. Yeah, that was fun. Did I mention he was also a check airman in the SC National Guard? I think he was a Lt Col or maybe a full bird. He was pissed, lol.
Thankfully I had just gotten my CFII a week or so before that, so I was very proficient on the IFR regs, as well and flying IMC. Otherwise it would have been a bloodbath. I thought he'd fail me but he didn't. What a checkride. Glad I wasn't in the military about then. Your 310 has an awesome panel though--much nicer than we had in that old beaten-down 310D back in the day.
Thanks for the comment and glad you're enjoying the channel Tom! Pretty cool you did your ME in a 310. I did mine in a dog of a Seneca 1 down in Georgia...they don't climb on one in the heat very well. :)
I'm sure they don't, lol.
That checkride is the only time I think I've ever done a full missed-approach on one engine, and we did it twice. Once was an ILS, but the second time was an NDB approach. At least he didn't make me actually feather the engine though...although maybe he would have if it would have been daytime?
It's eerie though flying into an airport you've never been into before, when it's a pitch-black night. No moon hardly at all, and me trying to find a single-runway airport in the middle Columbia SC. Quite the experience that I've never forgotten to this day.
What model 310 is yours? I owned an Aztec for about 8-9 years, but worked on it far more than I flew it. It definitely helps to have an A&P ticket when you buy one of those older twins, because you're going to have to fix some things.
Wow small world.. My daughters ranch is just down the road from there! She raises horses and dogs and does horse shows professionally as well.
Awesome! Love the area...small world indeed. We were just down flying in the Bahamas and someone of the freq recognized us. :)
love this... great farm... (ours, out in west tx, is a bit wilder,),..but... this is superb... thanks..
Always look forward to your videos. Keep me’ coming.
Thank you! :)
Now that's my kind of party! :D
Thanks Josh and I agree...not much beats having a backwoods good time! Nice collaboration with Baron Pilot recently. If you ever make it up to IL and want a spin in the 310 let me know.
310 Pilot I’d love to see a RUclips pilots fly in with all of you!
Do you have a video with your background or just general info about yourself?? I'm sure everyone would like to know who you are and how you started flying.. if you haven't already.. point me in the right direction and keep up the videos! Yeeewwww!
Well if you like county music with a dash of rap, fat girls and cheap beer,
then you're in hog heaven. Or you could be Santa Cruz....slim, smart surfer girls and cool cars and excellent craft beer, and cessna 421's and super cubs.
This is real life. Good from Greece!
Glad you enjoyed it Takis!! One day we really hope to make it to your country. :)
@@310Pilot I wish you were well and you were doing well!
Love the farm clips!!
Thanks Jack! Glad it turned out okay.
good recovery on the av master...I glued clear washers to those switches ...touchy feely!
noooooow! that is a spread!!!! it dont get much better than that.....
Thank you Willie. You're correct...doesn't bet much better than being out at the farm!
I forget which video it was, but as you were backing the plane into the hanger, the right wing did some rubbing on the wall. Bet that bit a little.
Knock on wood, I've never touched anything with the plane. The camera angle may have made it look that way though. I'm really careful to stay on the painted lines to make sure that doesn't happen. I fast forward those sometimes and it may have look that way.
@@310Pilot I'm new and watching the video's randomly, and it looks like you invested a few bucks into your nav system. Your wife is a controller, are you too.
Love this. Wish there were some single men out there like this....Everything about this is perfect....except for the 310. Kind of a Cougar girl myself :)
Awww...thanks JuliAnne!! Not a lot of cougar's out there. I won't tell my 310 you said she wasn't perfect. :)
Thank you for sharing.
You're welcome Donald!
Awesome! Love the farm! You sir are living the good life.. i'm jealous lol. btw... passed my PPL written last week w/ 100%, and checkride is coming up June 18! Wish me luck, and keep the videos coming
Congrats on your written William!! Good luck on your checkride....let us know how it goes.
i failed my first check ride summer 1970s the old bastard showed up pissed at the world.....DPE from hell.. I got my chance to tell him off years later he did it to few other guys I hear. bastard came over to talk to me at the station FBO and when he said Hi. I responded i guess you didnt chock on the 150.00 dollars such a pitty! and walked off..Yeh he knew what it was for!!!! i dont think anybody liked him from what i gathered...he was still DPE for the area so I went to a different area flew it for a week and passed by flying colors as I should have done then.
bastards are like AOs gotta deal with some can by pass others.
good video especially your commo. getting to old to go without safety pilot but I still love it...
Nice landing in Monroe
Thank you!
Man I love this sound on climb out
Bernard Anderson 6ths
Sorry Bernard clumsy fingers!
Cool video...thanks Kevin & Jamie. I enjoyed the farm activities. Actually, I am heading to my beef cattle farm in Missouri for a visit from Northeast Ohio in my Cherokee 180 tomorrow. :-)
Thank you Don! I love my time at the farm. I try to get over there as much as I can...it's our second home. :) Hope you have a nice flight out to your farm tomorrow!
Oh hi Kevin ha ha really enjoyed your vid thanks
You're welcome Dom...glad you liked it!
Awesome. Hard to beat a bit of farming :-)
I agree! Very peaceful out there!
Kevin and Jamie TY for the excellent Videos
You're welcome Jack! Glad you are enjoying them.
Kevin, just wondering if the props are contra rotating or do the ro9tate in the same direction...which strikes me as that would be a lot of torque to counter in flight...
Bravo Charlie let's show them what the 310 can do
Life on a farm, AMERICA at its best!
