During the winter and spring, we logged 100 hours of flight time over just 11 weeks in a determined effort to help Chris achieve his goal of reaching 500 flight hours. This mission was all in preparation for the overhaul of our helicopter, the Millennial Falcon, which we planned to fly across the country.
In the inaugural episode of our latest travel series Heading: WEST - Journey To Overhaul, we delve into the journey that unfolds when a helicopter's lifespan nears its end. Additionally, we outline our trip objectives and aspirations before embarking on this exciting adventure.

I can’t believe the day is here! Hope y’all enjoy episode 1, we will be premiering each episode on Sundays at 10am ET if you want to join us in the live chat ❤️
25 minutes long !!! *chefs kiss* perfect
@@SpencerHogg🙏🏼🙏🏼
lol I literally screamed out loud when I saw this was out 😂 I stopped everything I was doing to watch!
@@richardwestwood1omg 🙏🏼 enjoy!
Oh no this is torture! I don't want to wait another week to see the first episode!!!
This is freaking exciting… you guys are great documentarians!
Thank you so much!!
Holy @$&+!! I’ve watched a lot of content this year and this THIS! just shot up to the top of my list. It’s the most polished and well-structured storytelling plus crisp and direct-to-the-point visualizations of a self-produced cross-country docu-series. A truly excellent first episode!
_As someone who’s been watching since the home renovation vids of NFland and the tutorials and vlogging vids of Vancouver, I’m always amazed at what Becki and Chris can make in their videos and where they take them year after year. The hard work put in and challenges they overcome over the years only propels them towards grander endeavors in the future._
*Looking forward to the rest of the series, Becki and Chris!*
Your editing it’s amazing, feels like an actual TV show and not just a RUclips video
368k sub's is a lot of people, but for the time, effort, cost and pure quality of an edit that you produce i think you are well undervalued. well done for all you do and i wish you every success.. i have been following for a few years now. Good luck from a fellow Heli pilot here in the UK
👊
If I told someone else this was done by two people, I doubt anyone would believe me unless I said Becki and Chris! Your work is absolutely incredible! The amount of effort and passion you put into these projects is truly impressive! Loved this and am super excited for the next episodes!! Great work guys!
You know the serie will be awsome when even the pre-trip episode is exciting. Great job building the tension!
Thanks much! The weather always makes things a little dicey 😂
So so so good guys… a true joy to watch
As a professional helicopter pilot, I love that you guys have your own helicopter. And this causes me to want to get one, too.
Guys, I have to admit, I've been away from this channel for a longgg time, I don't have a good excuse as to why. This the first vid I've watched of your's since Covid and within the first 15 seconds of hitting play I got the goosepimples and am already feeling inspired to get out there. You guy have influenced my own film production in a major way and I'd just like to say, it's bloody great to be back! (also, if your in BC this year at all please drop me a line, I'd love to meet you guys)
This video was really well done. I'm looking forward to the next episode.
Amazing, Fabulous 😃 Looks like we are watching some TV/Netflix Series 👏 Great Visuals, editing and storyline. Really looking forward for upcoming episodes. All the best B&C 🤠👍
I didn’t know I would be interested in helicopters. But then again, this is Becki and Chris, who can seemingly make anything interesting.
Excited for the series!
I never thought I’d be interested in Helicopters either 😂 thanks my friend!
This was amazing! The colors, the pacing, and the story!! Super excited to follow the adventure and see what you guys go through!!
I think I’m most impressed by how insanely organized you guys are! Never mind the incredible videography! Exciting stuff guys 💪💪
These Helicopter series are always so well done!
My my my 😍😳 This legit is better than a Hollywood production and you two did all this by yourself😱🙏🏻❤✨ Becki The Guru Grand Salute 💯🔥
😭 thanks so much!!!
I love that you loaded your incredibly important documents into Wegmans bags. Wegmans is the best. And you two are so amazing! I am really looking forward to the rest of this series. Thank you for making awesome content.
Wow! You are taking production quality and storytelling to the next level. Just from this first episode, I feel like this series needs to be on a major network! Nice job on the edit, really enjoyed this one.
Yes !!!! So stoked for this series
Oh my god. I have been waiting for this series for sooo long. I was not disappointed 😍😍😍 I love the "interview" setting in the hangar, but the whole episode was pure magic. Only disappointing thing was that the episode ended. 🚁
So excited for this series!!
First of all, AMAZING debut episode!! I can't wait to see the rest of this series!
A few questions if you get a minute to answer:
1. Does the skin of the aircraft wear out? I'm a little confused why the paint job won't be spared when you see 50-year-old crackling paint jobs on 172s all over the place😂
2. On that note, what's the difference between a brand-new helicopter & a rebuilt one? Surely they can't replace literally everything- what components stay?
3. Why does Robinson require the El Paso route? Feels a bit arbitrary- are there conditions they need to make sure pilots have dealt with before they can feel good about selling them a heli?
I can't believe you are stopping in my little town of Chattanooga! Can't wait to see the series and where all you go.
The fact that you guys can balance high production value and still keep it feeling like authentic RUclips is a superpower! I always imagine, as a youtube editor myself, all the work that you have to do to sync all the audio, find the story beats, and edit it all together is just a load of work! I really appreciate the creativity and work it takes to film these series! Props to the editor(s)
Thanks for the thoughtful comment! It’s just becki, she’s a one person army 💪
-C
@BeckiandChris i kind of figured! Lol, she is a total boss!
Oh yeah!!!🤘Love these series, so hyped for this! Cheers to the Millennial Falcon!
This was amazing guys! Can’t wait for the rest of the episodes
Ooo b&c series !!! Gotta wait to watch it on the tv
What an adventure. Amazing storytelling - well done!
Love it! 🔥Excited for the next episodes. The work put into these heli series is just astounding! Thank you.
you guys are goals !!!
So awesome to be watching and traveling along with y'all! Great first episode! Felt like I was watching a Discovery+ show. Such great production and I know a lot of time went into this. I can't imagine having to fly a helicopter across the country, let alone plan a production alongside it. Y'all are rocking it out! And a bonus gem in this episode was finding out that you've been to Wise, VA! I lived there for 10 years. Anywhooo...can't wait for episode 2!
I friggin love this! I’ve wanted to watch this so bad, but haven’t had time, and didn’t want to watch it in pieces. So happy I waited till I could sit down and watch on the big screen from start to finish. Well done and I’m looking forward to future episodes.
16:30 Love this part, the two different perspectives hahaha Love that!
Congratulations!!! What an incredible amount of work for both of you. Great first episode! Excited about the rest.
If this first episode is any indication this series is going to be spectacular. Great work and really looking forward to the series.
Epi 01 looking mint already! Enjoy and stay safe, Becki and Chris!
I just realized how long I’ve been watching the journey on RUclips when I could recall the anticipation behind the first helicopter series and when the helicopter was purchased! You guys rock! Thanks for allowing us to be a part of your community and journey ❤
Love this series already. Looks really good. I'm excited for what's to come
Just talked to my wife about doing a GA (fixed wing) trip from Dallas to Maine next year. Should probably bring the fx3s with us.. Cant wait for more of this series!!!
I knew the editing would be on point but I just loved the logistics vs food jump cuts at 16:34 😂
It is finally here, This should be a Netflix show or something! The quality is Insane, and the storytelling... just amazing!
This for sure will be the highlight of my next 5 Sundays . Congrats on your new series!
Outstanding! This is what y'all do best, and when you're at your best, it's the finest stuff on RUclips. Love it! 💜
Thanks Gerald, that means a lot! I wish we could do this stuff all the time
This is a legit documentary snd somehow leveled up heading north! Can’t wait for tomorrow!
Hi you two! This is so beautifully done, I love the storytelling, the edit and the colors. This is really great work!
Been looking forward to this series! Great work as always!
So well done! Can't wait to see the rest guys!!
So stoked for this series! Epic storytelling, as always! Love it
Great adventure guys as always Thanks for sharing
So exctited to follow along with this series!!
I'm stressed out just watching this first episode! My wife and I are full-time travelers - we sold everything we own except what we have in a carry-on suitcase and backpack each. But what we do seems so much easier than how you've had to pack for this cross-country trip. Also, we have booked Airbnbs months in advance for every destination. Traveling without any lodging makes me nervous. It certainly looks exciting, but I couldn't do it. I bow before your ability to handle all these challenges while documenting it all and creating a cohesive story. We write scripts and produce weekly episodes for our RUclips channel (@findingGinaMarie), but making sure you have the shot list covered for this trip is also a ton of work. I'm so impressed. You two are incredibly inspiring! Cheers!
Yes yes yes yes another series by my favorite RUclipsrs
Oh wow. This is AMAZING and I’m pumped for the rest of the series!!
I love how you guys work so hard for making everything perfect.
Becki is hands down one of the cutest nerds on youtube, i said it!
Excited for what's to come! Looking great guys!
I love these series so much
Woo! So excited for this new series, you both are so inspiring and are experts at telling a great story!
That was amazing! So glad you decided to do a live viewing with everyone! Can't wait for next week!
That was really fun! Excited to do that again next weekene
A bloody movie on RUclips! Thank thank for your content! The next 6 weeks are going to be awesome waiting for a new episode!
Great quality and very interesting!
Great first episode and I can’t way to follow along - what a cliffhanger!!!!!
I grew up 30 minutes south of Chattanooga in North Ga. I’m so excited to see that episode! 😁
Freakin awesome! Exceptional visuals (awesome grpahics too Chris) and an epic story to accompany it. Stoked for this series! Having followed you since the Vancouver vlogs its amazing to see the journey that has lead you here. Love you guys! Can't wait for the next episode! 🔥👊🏼🚁🫶
Stoked you stuck with us since Van! 🙏🏼 thanks much!
The production quality is amazing. De story is good and what an adventure to go on. Looking forward to the other episodes!!!!
Really excited for this series, @BeckiandChris! I have the opportunity to fly with my brother from time to time, and we once flew in an R22 under the Golden Gate about 10 years ago. It's always a treat when I get to fly with him. We recently found out that we're 2nd cousins of the Wright brothers (...5 times removed!), so we'll definitely have to put that museum on our todo list. Looking forward to your future videos!
Can’t wait! Love these series!
This is so amazing and inspiring! can't wait for the next ep.
I live about 3 mins away from the airport in Cape Girardeau, MO. I was excited the last time Chris came here while you were in Florida with your parents. So excited you came here again, looking forward to the rest of the series!
Oh no way?! Too funny! It was awesome to make it up that way!
Came back to re-watch this as we plan a big trip West for our own flying channel. You went South West, and we'll be going North West to the Arctic Ocean and the Yukon.
Anyway, what struck me is the fluidity of language around the 8:17 mark. When Chris says "the El Paso Route" as one sentence he says it in American 'Rowt', but when using Route in any other sentence he says it in Canadian 'Root'.
Haha the weird quirks about being a dual citizen 😂 That sounds like an amazing trip!! Safe travels!
What a great episode, awesome cinematography, editing, music, and storytelling. Keep on keeping on!
CANT WAIT FOR THE NEXT EPISODES!! THIS SERIES WOULD GOING TO BE FUN AND A DIFFERENT WAY OF TRAVEL OR ADVENTURE!
SOOOOOO EXCITED.... CAN NOT WAIT.. gogo gogo gogo!!
So ready for this new series!🤩
Holy production value. Amazing work!
Excellent video / documentary. Really looking forward to this. Great production and storytelling.
I have waited so long for this...❤❤ Can't wait for the next episode.
Had to wear my Heading West shirt today in support on the series drop! Stoked for the rest of the episodes
This is dream and the quality of series is amazing
They also require you to fly the El Paso route solo! Without a greater takeoff weight of 2200 lbs, only for the “eastbound” ferry route, though. Also, can only be flown between April 1st to October 31st
This is sooo cool for what it is, but seeing it this beautifully produced makes it sooo enjoyable to watch. Great work!!! Can’t wait to watch next episodes.
Im so STOKED! I have bean waiting for Heading West ever since you guys first menssioned it. I would binge watch the whole series now, but I know I have to wait LOL. Thanks BC
Ready, set, go! Great video! Can't wait for the next episode!
Woo hoo! So excited to get to watch finally this evening! Ya'll are awesome storytellers! This is going to be fun!!
The production quality is insane! Very excited about your trip! This is gonna be awesome!
Looks awesome, can't wait for the next episode
I am beyond excited. Can't wait for more!
Freaking amazing - You guys totally rock!!
I'm so excited! to watch this series! Episode 1 was great!
Great video. Beauty shots - edits - narration. Love your work. We look forward to this series. ❤❤
Wonderful job guys!
Awesome content guys, loving it…
Honestly, lets be real for a second... Becki and Chris make better content then most if not all Streaming platforms. Visually, auditorily, and in the story and emotions they lay out. Stunning work you two. Was honestly devastated this only came out an hour ago and I cant watch ep 2 right away...
Jeez thanks! That means a lot!
@@BeckiandChris If you ever come to Australia and I hope you do, it'd be an honour and a pleasure to show you around.
Great start!!! Can’t wait for the other episodes.
I’m so excited to watch your adventure see how everything goes.
Missed the premiere this week, but so excited for this series!
This was so fun to watch!
Love those helicopter's episodes, how you prepare the trip, how you manage weather and weight constraints...
What a daunting, exciting adventure! I love your storytelling, Becki. Very hard to click away. Thank you. 🦘🇦🇺
