I’m a 70yo Veteran and a retired Corporate Pilot. The last 15 years of my career I ran the Flight Department for a NY Company based at KFRG on Long Island. I truly enjoyed my entire career. I have 9 Type Ratings but most of my experience is in the Dassault Falcon 50, 900B & 900EX. When I took the job I told the Chairman that I wanted to use the flight and duty time limits that FAR Part 135 used. He agreed and we had no issues the entire time I was there. I had more time off than airline guys especially when the aircraft went down for maintenance. A C check inspection on a Falcon jet can take a few weeks. The only unfortunate aspect was the company pension program was wrapped around the company stock. When the stock took a huge hit and ultimately the company went under we in the flight department lost everything. Very sad. In retrospect I don’t think I would change anything.
Nice to fly with you again!! Refreshing to see professional jet pilots fly a actual pattern with existing traffic rather than "straight in". Great work!
Same problem all around the globe in this business, I guess… Crew living from the aircraft stock while waiting for hours for the passengers… Max duty times during summer time was pretty normals here in Europe as well. Season is throttling down a bit. Looking forward to the things to come… Safe flights captain & always 3 greens!
Brought back lots of memories! KSUS is a great airport for a fuel stop, overnight or stop and drop. Didn't hear any TCAS alerts, so that is always a good thing. Sixty years as a pilot and I still miss the flights; even with an early AM show time. ATC sounded relaxed and professional in all of the communications. Outstanding CRM with the two of you. Reminds me of time spent in the CE-500 and CE-525.
Nice entertainment video. There should be something written in the beginning along the lines of "don't use our procedures" or "not for education" since some if these "procedures" are absolutely horrific :D
Having watched many of your videos, I can’t hold off asking this question any longer; is a yaw damper really called a “yaw dampener” in the Cessna world? I’ve never heard it called that in any other manufacturers manuals.
Please tell your copilot it is a Yaw DAMPER, not a DAMPENER. . .ugh. Pet peeve. . .nice flying, always enjoy your videos!! Looked like a rough lunch for you, not a good option close by Statesville, eh?
I'm pretty sure it's a Yaw Damper, not yaw dampener. I hate being picky but for some reason this one just bothers me. Thanks for the videos and keep them coming. 🙂
Yeah, I know it seems that way, but he's not the only one doing it. I subscribe to a ton of creators, and it seems that a lot of them call it a dampener. So when I point it out to a single creator, I realize that it sounds picky, but it's kind of like spelling - it's either correct or it's not, and I'll bet that the "young guy" doesn't even realize he saying it wrong. So if no one points it out, he'll continue to sound 'unprofessional' around people who are the true professionals (not me). I'm just trying to help.@@TheFlyingZulu
Love it. The smooth execution and confidence from experience are obvious. As a surgeon, I see why flying is seductive, but the years needed to obtain this level of excellence is probably behind me as it applies to this field vs mine. Well done. I'd let you fly me anywhere.
In our house Jim the phrase is "good Job" when it all goes to plan. So..Good Job Jim. Cheers from Downunder and thanks for the likes on my videos. Fly safe.
This looks like a pretty sweet deal in an aircraft with a heater. I just retired from a 44 year career with the first 5 being in a C-45 night freight operation that could drag on into days as well. Keep it safe and do the right things and enjoy your time in the sky,
Hey captain! I have my ppl, got it about two years ago. Just resuming again, hoping to fly corporate! Doing ground school right now through flight insight! Lots of info for sure but Im loving the grind. Hoping to get those certs and pursue a new career in flying. Thanks, any pointers would be great! Ill look into your channel but I was wondering how you landed that job -- flying corporate. Thank you.
Thanks, Captain!! When I win the Lottery, I would love to have you fly me around..... To wherever LOL Thanks for the videos. Always look forward to seeing you.
Small gripe. I noticed young American pilots seem unable to pronounce the word DAMPER. It certainly is not DAMP'N,er.. Just say it as its spelt !! DAMP-er
Yep a 16hr day isn’t fun, especially if there is multiple sectors involved, hopefully there wasn’t to much en-route weather to deal with. Interesting that Vapp was 122kts, I thought the citation would have approached a little slower than that, is this a typical Vapp speed? or was there a decent Wind additive? Thanks again Jim, I always enjoy your videos and your “fly on the wall” 1st person style
Finishing up my multi engine training here at Parks (Roll Bills). Was disappointed knowing you only heard our Diamonds flying. Hopefully I can catch myself in another video.
Very interesting to see you’re out of SVH and also mentioned flying for race season. I used to fly for Motorsports and also flew out of SVH small world.
Snacks..no good..the high sugar garbage food on top of the long hours they are eating is leading to disaster via diabetic blackout, vegus nerve flareup and drowsiness.
Some people died by old airplanes as I have known from News on TV or radio. You should know exactly how many hours that airplane you can fly more time with care it usually. The airplane not yet care . You have be careful to ride on it
Thanks for the video and letting us fly along. Actually saw my Grandsons dorm on the 1st landing as you flew into Spirit.🙂 Love the camera positioning as well.
I apologize for asking, if you know you'll have a long day without proper meals ahead of time, why don't you bring some good food that you like with you instead of depending on the subpar, unhealthy plane snacks? Your videos are wonderful!
Thank you for sharing your day trip here was good!!☺ You made me laugh when you were looking at lunch in the aircraft for chocolate candy!!☺ Nice!! Hahaha☺
You have my dream job, I live near the west end of the runway in Statesville and watch you guys fly in and out all the time, I flash my halogens at you all when you return from the race and also come over and watch the landings sometimes. I would love to help maintain those or any other jobs that might be.
Two professional pilots that check all the boxes. It is always a pleasure I assure you. Long days at times but still a dream job in a time machine.
Time Machine-I like that😊
The aircraft shadow at 8:25 when approaching 26R was really cool !!!!! Another great video !!!!
i thought the same thing !
Right out of 16 Right.

The copilot reminds me of my early days flying. I was saying "OK.... " for every readback . My instructor was mad at me :)

..always a good day..when our longtime smiling friend ..Capt. Moonbeam..posts yet another great video...and please..keep em comin'..
Love seeing the Capt' posting!
Great multi-leg flight Jim , it shows what good CRM is required .
Plenty long enough day Jim! Thanks for another quality video - nicely edited as usual. All best :)
Nice work airman. Thanks for having us along.
Please tell your copilot it is a Yaw DAMPER, not a DAMPENER. . .ugh. Pet peeve. . .nice flying, always enjoy your videos!! Looked like a rough lunch for you, not a good option close by Statesville, eh?
Thanks for posting. @sailingairplanes from Dagsboro DE huge fan of yours. Love how you manage a flight deck.
Very professional. Love the interaction back and forth with the checklist items. I see you are spending quite a bit of time close by at SVH.
Strange to hear my voice on RUclips lol. I’m the controller who cleared you in the beginning.
I'm pretty sure it's a Yaw Damper, not yaw dampener. I hate being picky but for some reason this one just bothers me. Thanks for the videos and keep them coming. 🙂
I really wish the young guy would read Yaw Damper and say 'yaw damper' ... not dampener.
Lol you're right... you are being super picky! haha.

Don’t worry, I have a German friend that is sweatening when hot and humid.

Hey Jim, thanks for visiting our Original Pancake House. Really enjoy your videos. 👍
Love it. The smooth execution and confidence from experience are obvious. As a surgeon, I see why flying is seductive, but the years needed to obtain this level of excellence is probably behind me as it applies to this field vs mine. Well done. I'd let you fly me anywhere.
QUESTION -- Do the clients pay for time only-in-the-air, or, total chock-to-chock for the day??
We fly the owner of the aircraft and are salaried.
Nice to see another flight! Maybe I’ll see you pass by next time I’m at Wings of Hope, just off of 26R.
i see your still greasin those landings Jim i like your new partner too btw he has a nice demeanor and good camera voice
It’s yaw damper. DAMPER not dampener. It’s driving me crazy
Me too, every time!
That was a great video, thank you kindly.. looking forward to getting my new private jet and joining y’all soon. Cheers!
It's a yaw damper, not a dampener. LOL. Dampener would be a spray bottle.
Exactly!
Dampener works
Great audio and video editing. SVH-based Baron subscriber here. Keep up the good work, and thanks for taking us along.
Always a pleasure to be invited to join you, Captain!
Great video, love the flow....straight and to the point. Trying finish up my commercial now and these are handy videos.
In our house Jim the phrase is "good Job" when it all goes to plan. So..Good Job Jim. Cheers from Downunder and thanks for the likes on my videos. Fly safe.
Charlotte motor speedway or Zmax dragway?
This looks like a pretty sweet deal in an aircraft with a heater.
I just retired from a 44 year career with the first 5 being in a C-45 night freight operation that could drag on into days as well. Keep it safe and do the right things and enjoy your time in the sky,
Hey Jim, thanks for visiting our Original Pancake House. Really enjoy your videos. 👍
Good stuff! Man those 10 foot callouts come quick!
What race season are you referencing at 1:10?
Hey captain! I have my ppl, got it about two years ago. Just resuming again, hoping to fly corporate! Doing ground school right now through flight insight! Lots of info for sure but Im loving the grind. Hoping to get those certs and pursue a new career in flying. Thanks, any pointers would be great! Ill look into your channel but I was wondering how you landed that job -- flying corporate. Thank you.
Hey Captain! Recent subscriber- love the channel! I'm also a watch buff and was wondering what you wear when piloting? Thanks for your time!
Thanks, Captain!! When I win the Lottery, I would love to have you fly me around..... To wherever LOL Thanks for the videos. Always look forward to seeing you.
Small gripe. I noticed young American pilots seem unable to pronounce the word DAMPER. It certainly is not DAMP'N,er.. Just say it as its spelt !! DAMP-er
Did I hear 5:00 AM ????? I'm pretty sure that the whole earth is supposed to be shut off at that time. Celestial law or something like that.
Seems you are flying into SVH a lot lately. Welcome to NC! I live just up the road at HKY,. Have long enjoyed your videos.
Where ever you were in the morning, gas is $1.40 cheaper than eastern Washington
I flew for the Red Neck Air Force in 1997. Out of Statesville. 😁🛫

Wonderful!!!! 👌🏼👌🏼🧿🧿🙋♂🙋♂👍🏼👍🏼👨🏼✈👨🏼✈☝🏼☝🏼
wow sitting there for 2 hours, should of ordered pizza, delivery...
Captain Moonbeam, there's no more new content on your channel. Have you stopped flying or have you decided not to add videos to your RUclips channel?
Great content as always! Quick question, does the co-pilot get any credit for flight hours or just the pilot? Thanks!
That controller who gave you the code is a amazing controller and he works Friday night overnight shifts
Hi: I’m also flying at PWK. May I contact you? I have a couple questions.
Awesome video 😊
Great interview on Pilot to Pilot podcast. Really enjoy your channel.
PLEASE tell that co-pilot that there is no “N” in “yaw damper”.
That shadow you landed on was amazing!
Very interesting to see you’re out of SVH and also mentioned flying for race season. I used to fly for Motorsports and also flew out of SVH small world.
Snacks..no good..the high sugar garbage food on top of the long hours they are eating is leading to disaster via diabetic blackout, vegus nerve flareup and drowsiness.
You followed us out of Charleston today. Was in Flexjet 333.
Some people died by old airplanes as I have known from News on TV or radio. You should know exactly how many hours that airplane you can fly more time with care it usually. The airplane not yet care . You have be careful to ride on it
Wonder who ..the passengers..they are flying around.
Were you experiencing a thermal inversion after the take off ?
in statesville was that livery on those (embraers?) assume that’s their base? or is it something else?
I guess you forgot about sterile cockpit
What happened to the other older gentleman you used to fly with?
Captain's log 243 ✈ Wow! What great weather day to go flying!
Is there an iPhone App? Do the passengers get to vote on whether they think you are fit to have their lives in your hands?
Why doesn’t the cameras shake on landing?
What’s the periodic shrill sound?
24:48
Corporate aviation is the same thing all over the world
Notice to air missions. Our government is such a joke.
its not a "dampener".......It a Yaw Damper.
Thanks for the video and letting us fly along. Actually saw my Grandsons dorm on the 1st landing as you flew into Spirit.🙂 Love the camera positioning as well.
Thanks Bradok
Long days...nice crew coordination...
Co-pilot strikes me as UND graduate
Get your clearance under ground next time
I got a quick shot of my house in one of those clips
Hello Jim! Wondered where you were!
are you related to governor moonbeam?
You gotta eat better than snacks.
Keep up the great work you do and thank you have a blessed day .
thanks wmerr
Jesus saves from a devil's hell!
Media. Customer. Ok
Where are at sir
I apologize for asking, if you know you'll have a long day without proper meals ahead of time, why don't you bring some good food that you like with you instead of depending on the subpar, unhealthy plane snacks? Your videos are wonderful!
I think running low on caffeine levels in your blood stream would be a MAYDAY call to ATC !
Thank you for sharing your day trip here was good!!☺ You made me laugh when you were looking at lunch in the aircraft for chocolate candy!!☺ Nice!! Hahaha☺
Yaw damper, not dampener.
Soft landing 👌🏼🧐 ❤
really enjoying the videos, thanks.
Glad to hear it!
🤔 Is HAPPY61 Heavy one of the tankers from KBLV?
Awesome stuff, it’s also great to see John Bolton get into a more relaxing lifestyle (sorry bro dead ringer except you’re a kind soul 😂❤)
So awesome, out of KSVH. I’m a Commercial multi engine Pilot out of KJQF. Hope to see you around.
You have my dream job, I live near the west end of the runway in Statesville and watch you guys fly in and out all the time, I flash my halogens at you all when you return from the race and also come over and watch the landings sometimes. I would love to help maintain those or any other jobs that might be.
Lol hearing the "career track" call sign 😂 gives me flashbacks to my training at ATP
Nothing wrong with part 91....but some days could be long depending on who you were flying for.
That 50-5 countdown on the intro was so smooth…..buddy id love to fly with you!
ATC comms from FO are hilarious 😂 worse than most grass strip drivers..
