that's an awesome reaction to job loss. I can't wait to fly commercial and see Capt Turner. Those cabin announcements will be lit!
Mom always said “everything happens for a reason “ let the old job go and focus on the new job and remember it truly is about the journey not the destination.
I've been laid off 2 times. They turned out to be the best 2 career moves I have ever had. You're looking at it in just the right way: the opportunity of a lifetime. Best of luck to you, Sir!
Once I got over the shock of living off my savings account and got my head on straight, I started to feel better and I am more motivated than ever.
Welcome aboard our undisclosed airline…
I am Captain Bryan, and our guy flying right seat this evening is Captain Spencer….
Have no fear, we are both professionals… a comedian and an aerobatics instructor.
Please enjoy your flight…. 😃
You guys are sure to go far…
Anyone can learn to fly an airliner…. Flying a plane load of critics takes experience!
You have got this one gents!
😃
At the height of my Pilots N Paws flying it accounted for over 60% of my hours that year. My tax guy was able to factor in all direct expenses related to each PnP trip as well as 60% of my fixed costs (hangar rent, maintenance, insurance, etc.) for the year. It made for a very pleasant tax return. This was a few years into my time doing rescue flights as it accounted for more and more of my flight time each year. I flew from my home in SoCal to destinations all over the state as well as NV, ID, WA, TX, AZ and KS.
I always pull the throttle back to cut down on fuel burn when I building flight time. Purpose is hours not speed.
Captain Bryan Turner has quite a ring to it. Bad luck about the IT job though..... onwards and hopefully upwards though...... just don't start asking about gladiator movies in the cockpit.... ;)
And you're more than welcome to come fly to Adelaide and I'll shout you a chocolate donut and a few cold beers from Coopers. :)
I'm rooting for you.
Thank you!
Nothing like the excited feeling of taking off early in the morning on a long cross country. You're always welcome to come back to SoCal. You got a free place to stay!
Way to go, Bryan! Really pulling for you buddy.
Thank you
Loved this video Bryan, that's a monster day of flying! I'm glad you're considering overnights on future trips of that length in the future though, good call. Fly safe, and I look forward to the next episode.
Thanks! Great to see you here. I have been following your journey lately as well and just about teared up at your excitement about getting back up in the air. Its where we belong!
Very much looking forward to this series. Sorry for the job troubles too. I’ve been on the receiving end of abrupt changes. Never a career change though. I applaud your bravery (and your wife’s!). We actually bought a 1959 Piper Comanche 250 for my son to get trained in and build hours. And of course for me to fly a bunch too. I might even find myself pursuing that commercial. Thanks for the tip on an instructor to get us checked out on the Comanche. You and I have a shared friend who reached out to you.
I love the work and dedication. Great shot of DFW inbound.
Imagine the hours if you and John come visit me to eat some stroopwafels and real cheese!!! Since you call yourself elderly now, I'll get you the first package. Looking forward to see you visit Ryan!!!
Ha! Editing the video with Ryan now. Hope to have it out on Sunday
I have flown the borders of a couple states, just to have something to do while building time.
Same boat further away. Hang in there man you'll get this done and you have connections use them and be grateful. I feel your pain.
Looks like a fun way to be jobless! A friend and I flew to 11 airports in our Indiana / Michigan area Saturday for fun, but alas, no tacos. Somehow I'm imagining the passenger reactions to Spencer Suderman doing inveted flat spins in a regional jet. 😂
Thanks for taking us along, Brother. Please be safe, don't push it, the hours add up faster than you think.
Thank you for encouraging more pilots, to help those Great organizations.
❤
We have great sea food in Cape Cod!
I would be hitching along for this flight! I love Cape Cod!
I was going to post something about this anyway, but since you already mentioned pizza... We found this place years ago on a road trip to an event called GeoWoodstock. We were tired and hungry and the weather was about to go to crap. We were is Des Moines, Iowa, and didn't know where to eat or what we wanted, so we just told the Nuvi to ell us what was nearby. The place that caught our attention and should yours, was Fong's Pizza. The pizza to get is the Crab Rangoon Pizza. The menu says featured on The Food Network. We had it before that time. It is worthy of being on The Food Network. I'm willing to bet you'll like it better than whatever you're going to get in California. California makes wine. Iowa makes Asian inspired pizza, corn, and Iowans.
Those 13 hour flight days are tough ! Took me 13 hours to fly to Airventure last year. No autopilot !
if your flying to NY why not go to Niagara Falls, i've heard there is a process to be able to circle around it. Another one would be to fly the Hudson Corridor and circle the Statue of Liberty. My instructor took me through the Hudson Corridor as a fun flight during my training.
I keep looking for the window you are opening and closing with roof crank, but seem to always miss it! lol
Cool meeting you at Sun N Fun! If you make it through VA in the next few weeks, I've got a ham sandwich with your name on it.
Flying for tacos sounds much better than IT!
Brother you got this!
Thank you!
I've done a flight from st.louis mo to Sarasota for Taco Tuesday @ X06, then did some formation flying with a buddy and back home in the same day. That was a fun day of flying
Just finished up my ATP Multi last week! Debating leaving the cush job and diving into professional flying myself. Those last hundredish hours will fly by!
$3.80/gal in Texas just to pay over $8/gal in St. Augustine.
That's a long day flying for sure. Last weekend, I had what was probably my longest day flying, about 4.5 hours total flight time there and back. At the end of it, I was absolutely beat. No autopilot, either, so hand-flying the whole way. But it was also my best day flying.
Good video, as always! Way to push yourself to accomplish your goal, but stay safe in the process. Looking forward to more reports.
Spencer & you should do a remake of the "Man Show - Drunk Pilots episode". Probably shouldn't have that on your resume though. Good luck to you guys!
HAHAHA!!!!! I love it.
👍✅👏 Love this series BrYan!
Thank you.
Love this so much - going for it and getting after it, midlife career switcharoo is the way! Really hope we get to fly together either in General Aviation, or in the flight levels while we are getting paid :)
What airport are you based at? I know I have asked you this before but now I am making an actual tangible list :)
@@JustPlaneSilly out of KLZU, Gwinnett county Georgia, NE of the ATL. My second home base is 39N, Princeton NJ (which is a great launch point for the NYC Hudson River skyline route (just sayin’!)
if youre looking for places to go, theres a great place at KPRC, prescott AZ called Susies cafe that has some really good cookies, and a really great view of the airport! Highly recommended
IN addition to the 1500 hours, you'll also need 500 Cross Country, 100 hours of night, 75 hours of actual or simulated Instrument flight time. Also, 50 hours in class which is multi-engine time. You probably know this.
I have all that. Just need the total time now
That’s awesome, Brian! One IT guy to another, I’d love to be in the journey to the airlines but my wife vetoed that. Oh, and you are why I went with Gold Seal for private and now instrument. Russ is great! Thanks for the great video!
Russ is awesome! He is all about helping people become pilots. I am lucky to have him as a sponsor and more importantly friend. My wife probably isn't in love with the idea of me being gone on overnites but it seems my current lack of marketable IT skills means this is the best option right now.
Im in the same situation. On the way to or from NY fly to Tangier Island. Worth the trip
Wow 13.9 hours in a single day... that is some serious stamina... Next time hotel is defintely justified!
Great video Bryan, great way to make lemonade out of lemons...Cheers from Dallas
Thank you. I am trying. This might be the sign that its time go start a new life.
@@JustPlaneSillyI left air traffic control training centre Melbourne Australia in 2016 after 28 years, with nothing to go to next. Things work out, all the BS of it went away, I got on with something else, haven’t missed it one single day. Seize the day, go for it. NorminOz.
Let them ads roll!
No name airline!! Wow is that one a new startup? 🤣🤣🤣 Great video as always!! You are efficiently building time and breaking bread or tacos with a friend is the best way to do that.
On long flights in my mooney even though not required I have my portable O2 bottle that I use. On long flights when i land I feel amazing, no fatigue at all.
Pilot’s for paws, just love it!! I wish I had time to do that being an animal Lover myself!!
Would you like to borrow a few thousand hours of my 10,000?
100% support ya in every way possible! Awesome channel as always.
Come to phoenix, we would love to have you and would be great to meet you, could stop on your way to California for that pizza. Plus I would love to see you your traveler
If you're ever in the Dayton Ohio area reach out to me. It would be an honor to buy you lunch and show you around. We have an amazing Air Force Museum and other attractions involved with the Wright Brothers. As always thanks for sharing the videos and keep working towards your goals. Very inspiring video too by the way 😁
I am putting together a potential list of places people are throwing out in the comments. I may make a multiday set of cross countries to hit as many as is practical.
FIRST!
Edit: Great video. Sorry about the job situation. That's never pleasant but it could be a sign. I know you will succeed because it sounds like you have a great support system. Good luck.
Hang in there Bryan...I can see you and Captain Wong flying together at Envoy. If you get tired on a flight and can't make it all the way home, I have a hangar with an apartment in it you welcome to stay in for a night. Based at KGCM (Claremore OK) but it will keep you from pushing to get home. When you go to Wisconsin you might run over the north of Lake Michigan to Mackinac Island (no fuel) but get some fudge for your family. Will send my contact information.
Keep building hours and keep building videos!
This is awesome! Thanks for always sharing great content
Come to Western Montana, I’ll buy lunch and take you through Glacier National Park.
I am putting together a potential list of places people are throwing out in the comments. I may make a multiday set of cross countries to hit as many as is practical.
You should come borrow my airplane - you can fly twice as many hours to fly half the distance.
Have you though about paying homage to where it all started, Wright Brothers National Memorial in NC... First Flight Airport KFFA to 52F =1080 NM... AND the best part is, if you fly in you do not have to pay the 10$ entry fee to the museum, think of the savings
I am also an old man currently unemployed from a career in high tech computer stuff and considering going to the airlines as a pilot. Unfortunately I only have my IFR and about 550 hours, no commercial, multi, or CFI ratings. So I don't think I can afford the training and hours building costs without finding another job. :( No matter what I am rooting for you and keenly interested in your journey.
You should come to switzerland and try some chocolate, that'll add some hours as well ;)
Come fly up to Detroit or Canada
Fly to Colorado for some mountain training! I’m based at GJT. Getting some experience in the mountains and checking in at Leadville is a good use of time building money!
I was about to recommend the same thing. Do some Colorado mountain flying. Great video content! Fly to LXV, get your certificate and hit up high mountain pies for some pizza. If you haven’t been into the mountains, definitely get with a local CFI first, or check Colorado Pilots Association for upcoming mountain courses.
@@bradtroup832 I just did LXV today. It was 90% Awesome and 10% scary
As long as you’re building time, go where it’s a challenge, go somewhere that’s uncomfortable, cross into Canada aye! Fly into ORD LAX DFW SFO etc in the middle of the night. Might as well learn new things as you build time.
Some of the comments here give me an idea. I’ll be on a 25 hr xc in July and will have an empty seat. I may offer it up to a time builder. Maybe they can show me how to edit my insta360° cards that I’m filling up at an alarming rate 💃🏻
If you want to fly to Idaho go ahead, but not for the potatoes. the best potatoes are in the San Luis Valley in southern Colorado.
Keep on grinding you’ll be fine. If you want a place to fly then you could fly to Missouri and take a on camera flight with me 😊

Where you going to in Wisconsin? Enjoy your trip here!
The Pacific Northwest has some beautiful sights to see from the air. If you come by Portland, OR then stop off at Twin Oaks (7S3). I'll buy you lunch anytime anywhere! Well, okay within reason of course, LOL. McMenamins is a good local brewery/pub/distillery/winery/historic Hotel, etc.
Good luck and Godspeed
Got fired - yaay! Well done, old son. A free man, freebird, free 'n homeless, y'know whateves. Be free & happy, flyboyman & see ya in the part 91's, HAHAHA....
KSSI for some bbq, and there is a hotel right there at the airport!
Epic man... envy you. Fly fly fly that comanche! Florida non stop- AWESOME
Been doing all my training in KDTO over the past few months and looking for that career change too. Be back for my multi add-on next month. Would love to buy you a meal and talk airplanes when I'm back in town.
Good luck on the airline goal man!
I just viewed your video today (05/19) and you mentioned you like to take a trip to Kentucky. I'm not sure where, but I would like to hook up anywhere in the state to have lunch. I'm based in KLOU, so if you ever need an hanger, just let me know and I will make it happen. Sorry about your job disappearing. My background was in IT along several layoff's, so everything happens for a reason....
You both have the same color hair!!!!
clear :)
👍
Come to Toronto. Lunch is on me.
I am not sure how to do that but I would be totally interested. What airport are you based at?
@@JustPlaneSilly Oh and I'm based at Oshawa airport CYOO - it's in the eastern suburbs of Toronto.
Went to KLFT for pizza today. Hope the mountain trip was fun!
I flew a round trip to New Orleans (KMSY) from Manassas (KHEF) for lunch just to get an 'Oyster PoBoy' at Johnnie's PoBoy in the French Quarter. 825nm each way. I got ya beat! (was tired as heck afterwards.. Flew forever in a PA-46)
I’m sorry to hear about the day job, but you’re so close to 1500 that it may have been a blessing.
If you come to the CVG area, let me know; I’d love to split some time with the world’s okayest pilot!
I’m sure it’s more fun to fly across the country to eat with a buddy, BUT!, if you ever find yourself flying over central Illinois, stop at Kspi and eat a “horseshoe” in springfield Illinois.
What was that music at the end? I’m in the same boat…. Old guy building time….
I wish I knew. Some generic rock track I bought off a music subscription website for youtubers.
If you're ever north of the border in Ottawa, I'll take you for some Poutine and beaver tails.
Not as good a just "cheese" though
Go to Chicago for some deep dish pizza and/or hot dogs!
Its on the list. I LOVE Chicago style pizza.
@@JustPlaneSilly Great, me too! When you get ready to go, swing by Houston, pick me up and I'll bring the jokes! lol 😀👍
Let me know next time. I love to fly for food. Just let me know! Hell, I’ll buy the lunch!
Let me buy you a gallon of fuel
Thank you so much! I will absolutely put that in my tanks! Thanks again!
Come to San Diego. We have great food and great weather 😊
Come up to SW Ohio and I’ll take you to the Air Force Museum. It’s free!

When your job goes away, the former employer hates it when you say " ask me if I care"
Bryan : I am in the west Minneapolis area with a full apartment open if you need a place to crash , especially on your trip to/from Wisconsin
You should fly up to kFVE just to see what is up there
THAT would be a long cross country
@@JustPlaneSilly Shorter than going to PABR 🤔
If you want to fly a free 20 hours in a bonanza, I need a safety pilot for foggle time!
What airport identifier
Yes, you should listen to your daughter and go for the potato. I'll buy you lunch and show you around a bit. ...fun excellent pilots up here too! Bring Dan, he has my contact info. Fun vid, but it wore me out just thinking about your day!
If you find yourself passing through KMRB, I’ll buy lunch!
is that Burt Reynolds in a sombrero ?
I hope so
Come to Washington and I will buy you a salmon dinner !
You might consider putting the word out to Companies that pay for rapid delivery of parts for race cars, aircraft, heavy equipment, medical devices and supplies to get paid while building time. Thanks for sharing your journey with us.
Unfortunately, he’d need a 135 certificate to do that, and the cost of getting one would far exceed the cost of just flying the -200 hours he needs.
I know you got your IR a while ago.... did you get your commercial already? I'm on career 2.0 and about half way with my commercial.
I knocked out my commercial and multi last year. I start my ATP next week
@@JustPlaneSilly Nice.... congrats, and good luck on the ATP.
tick off as many states as possible? how many of the 50 have you been to?
25 I think
A comment for the dollars!
Thank you
You forgot to visit the fountain of youth to refresh your youthfulness
spencer suderman! anthony bourdain's clone!
I’m glad God removed that pesky job thing so you can focus on what’s important in life! jk but if you guys need any help, let me know, and hopefully we’ll see ya trudging around an airport in an ill fitting uniform soon!
I was terrified for about 2 weeks. Now I am laser focused
Just go get a job making peanuts at a part 135. You’ll have beyond atp minimum within 6 months and you’ll do it on the companies dime.
you should get that dude to talk about charitable donations and taxes because I think you're overestimating the tax benefits for MOST people who maybe do a couple of PnP flights a year. it's not going to make much of a difference at all for your average joe pilot doing a couple flights here and there. ***I am NOT an accountant, CPA, nor am I even smart.
You need to have enough deductions to itemize for there to be any tax benefit to charitable flights, and that’s way harder than it was a decade ago due to the higher standard deduction, but we don’t know what other deductions Bryan has.
Valid point. We do have other white offs.
That said, 200 hours in my plane is 15k in fuel alone. I bet an hour builder could could make it hurt a lot less
@@k5sss right, totally, I wasn't prying into anyone's personal finances and whatnot, just trying to point out to people watching, a flight or two aint gonna do jack to your taxes or 'help pay for flight hours'.
