Greg, making videos takes many hours or work. I and many others so very much appreciate you doing this for us so that we can ride along. Thanks again and blue skies!
Thanks so much Greg, I got to fly right seat on a Citation for a company about 5 years ago on that route from Eagle to Scottsdale. You don't know how "great" it feels to experience that again as a recently turned 70 year old aviator who lost his opportunities to fly a couple years ago. I've been with you a long time and you don't know how wonderful it is to fly along with you in your videos as I live with missing flying and being a pilot so much. Thank you again, I hope you always continue to make videos. Joe Lake Havasu. Arizona.
Thank YOU Joseph, I’m just starting my path in aviation at just 19 years old and I can’t wait to see what my future in aviation holds. I’ve been told that because of my ADHD I’ll never be able to fly, but here I am, taking lessons. I’m sorry that your days of flying are over, but it’s aviators like you that inspire me to do what I do today. Thank you to all the past, present, and future aviators who all so fondly cherish this hobby and career. I’m planning on taking the “Street to Seat” program for the Army National Guard for the MOS 153D: Blackhawk Rotorwing Officer. Just like people telling me I’ll never be able to fly because of my ADHD, people are saying I’ll never make it through selection. But the last time someone said that, I was doing exactly what I said I was going to do. Ever since I knew what a helicopter was I always wanted to fly one. I’ve flown a helicopter with an instructor for an hour and my god it was 10x better than I thought it would ever be, and I didn’t know it could ever exceed my expectations. Long story short, I’ve never been more dedicated to achieving something in my life. It’s all I can think about now, and every time I close my eyes I can see my hands on the controls of that blackhawk in my camo uniform having the honor to serve my country doing something that I am in love with. I can’t think of a better way to start my aviation career and follow in the footsteps of my fellow past aviators. Edit: spelling
@@d_kortman Thank YOU, D. Kortman for the shout out and salute. Much appreciated. I think that you will make a great aviator because of your love and dedication. Be safe always, and enjoy. Remember from me these 2 things I always taught all my students, "Always leave yourself an out" and the definition of a "suppior pilot" is a pilot that uses his suppior judgment to keep him out of situations where he might have to demonstrate his suppior skills. Good luck. CFIAM/A&P JOE COVINO, retired. Lake Havasu. Arizona.
It is times like this when having the right seat occupied with an experienced pilot is very helpful not to mention much safer for all concerned. One can only imagine at night too with zero visibility. You spent more fuel taxing than you did in flight. BRAVO Nicely done Greg.
Greg, as a former veteran as a crew chief on a UH-1 Charlie model and pilot with an instrument rating I spent some down time this weekend getting over the crude and did some catch up on your video’s. Thank you for giving those of us the opportunity to fly with you and learn from you. Even though I have over 2000 hours I an Archer, it’s exciting to enjoy your work. Mike from Wisconsin. Yes I always go to air show at OSH on my Harley. At 73 I fell blessed.
It's always interesting when you drop into a major airport and mix it up with the commercial jets. It's a different feel, and seems like quite a bit more work. Thanks for the ride along, as always. I know I will start my weekend off right when I see I'll have a P1D video to watch over breakfast!
Awesome Greg! 1380 pounds fuel burn for the flight, another 1380 for taxiing at Sky Harbor! 😢 You were very polished for single pilot after landing! Bravo 👏
Great flight and video as always. Many don’t realize how busy (and stressful) single pilot IFR is even in good weather if you’re going into really busy airspace. Thanks for taking us along!
Formely living and flying out of Scottsdale now Sedona, I can understand what a mountain man like you feels when he opens the door and get's hit in the face by 100+ degree heat. Welcome to Phoenix in the summertime.
Echoing R Friesen’ s comment, can’t thank you enough for your efforts to record and produce these videos. A lot of work I know, but the excellent real pilot, real flights from the beautiful part of the country that is your home base, are just so much appreciated. Thank You!
I love your videos, Greg - you show us some amazing scenery of the United States from the air! It is much appreciated that you give us the opportunity to virtually join you in the right seat in your beautiful Premier 1A
I am always amazed by these amazing flight machines. And back in the late 90 s early 2000 s. I always said we should be filming this. Let's share these great trips. Thanks, Greg 😊
Absolutely love that ground crew at Eagle! Even with the smoke those mountains are still majestic. As always thanks for bringing us along Greg and I'm glad to see you're doing ok .
Very good once again , crossing those runways look quite scary, that shot of that jet taking off before you crossed showed how fast these jets really are on the runway
Looking a little smokey out there but the view from the right seat was awesome non the less. That taxi was pretty extreme. Thanks for putting in the time and taking us along. And yeah, I'd take that right seat any day.
Long story short. I'm not a pilot and never will be. Dreams of a young kid that were dashed by life and plenty of stupid. At 70 years old I find your videos as a mental patch of sorts. Good enough at my age but very, very meaningful just the same. I'm most likely not the only one that watches your videos for a similar reason. Thanks so much for taking the time to share with all of us Greg. Enough said.
Wow, you videos are so good. Awesome commentary and beautiful HD footage. Excellent camera angles. I just like to kick back on Saturday morning with my coffee and ride along. I really feel like I'm in the right seat. FYI, one of the things I like so much about your videos is clear ATC, particularly in these busy terminal areas.
Great video Greg! There are many of us out there who are a part of family businesses and love seeing your success. If you are able/comfortable with sharing any information, about your company's story and a more in-depth view, that would be really interesting. Not that it's any of our business to know, but hearing what the direction of MDI is now that O2 is a backing partner would be a great video. Keep up the great work and congratulations on your success!
Another great video, with the controllers wanting your viewers to see all of KPHX by giving you 26 rather than 25L. I imagine that 300 was closer to the limits than you'd normally like to be. Yup, I expect there are plenty of us who'd love to volunteer to actually be in the right hand seat with you!
Greg my 5yr old little girl is fascinated by your videos. She loves airplanes and helicopters. She watches your whole video from start to finish. We have a little regional airport here and she will sit and watch the planes land and depart all day if id let her!
Nothing I'd rather do right now than fly a bizjet from Eagle, CO to Phoenix, AZ. Since I don't have a jet, the very next best thing is to hitch a ride with you. Many thanks for letting us come along!
I am really happy to fly with you again Mr. Greg Mink. Your diligence, hard work and talent make our flight together awesome. Thank you sir. 75 year old from Clearwater, Fl. 👍❤️🇺🇸🙏🏼
Not being a pilot myself, I do appreciate being able to ride along with you. These videos are never boring and give men like me such a great insight as to what goes on in a jet plane like the one you own. The blue car you drove up in is not too shabby either. You do really make good videos.
I watch your videos and flights. I myself am a pilot in Russia. I'm very happy for you. I envy you. Good flights, clear skies and soft landings. I really love your RUclips channel.
Glad to hear you only lost a car in the mess. My father in law lost his home on Manatee and rental on Marco . What a mess and horrible ending for so many . Loved seeing Sky Harbor airport again . Worked there for 11 years . Blessings and thanks for sharing !!
Great video as always Greg! Thanks for bringing us along, and showing us the joys of aviation! Very informative video, and great views. Inspiring me to continue training as a pilot.
Greg, you must be a very smart man to have flown F-16s, Own a company, have a jet, and understand what you need to do. I must admit I am very impressed.
You still got it man. Rockin the Randolphs in the new ride, great commentary during the flight. Video was well done. Pretty much had a free coarse on taxing!! Lol.. Thanks for getting back on the channel!! Thoroughly enjoyed it!
Like I'm sure you've heard this many times over the last few months, we miss you. Hope all things are going well for you in your new business role. I know business is business and first things first but I'm sure there are many of your viewers and followers that hope there will be a place for us in your future. Again we miss you!

Ha what a great intro Greg 😂. This made our day at the Jet center
It was so funny!!

Sheesh... flying the approach into there is a walk in the park compared with the rather involved taxi procedures... 😉.. Thanks for having us along!
You're right I think it would be easier to go through a corn maze
Take a look at the DFW air patch. Ouch!
Thank you Greg. Love the videos. I'm a retired ATR pilot. Thanks.
Another scenic flight over the rockies! Thanks!

Thanks for the invite to ride along Greg,happy to oblige.
Thanks for letting me ride along
Absolutely love that ground crew at Eagle! Even with the smoke those mountains are still majestic. As always thanks for bringing us along Greg and I'm glad to see you're doing ok .
P1D (Greg), always appreciated the time you put in to share your knowledge of flying. A fan from Australia living vicariously through your videos...
Don’t reply this is a scam see my recent message!
0:43 Your hangar is so clean! You could eat off the floor! :-) I love your beautiful plane and car!
It's such a nice opening to you videos when you say:"the right seats empty, why don't you come along"
Saw your Instagram about paint design popularity but only you can have the bumble bee.
Very good once again , crossing those runways look quite scary, that shot of that jet taking off before you crossed showed how fast these jets really are on the runway
I was thinking the old arcade game “Frogger” watching the taxing from 26 to Cutter.
I haul gasoline and will never be able to fly at my age, but you help me wind down at the end of the day and dream a bit. Thanks Greg!
Great video, Greg. Thanks for taking us along for the ride.
Missed your videos and explanations Greg! Thanks for sharing
Looking a little smokey out there but the view from the right seat was awesome non the less. That taxi was pretty extreme. Thanks for putting in the time and taking us along. And yeah, I'd take that right seat any day.
I love your channel. I am a 2W171, F16 Weapons Troop from the 138th Alert Detachment 1, Retired TSgt. Thank you again for channel.
Temperature 28 dew point -02...that is some seriously DRY air. What a beautiful ride. Thank you.

Hurricane watch party from Orlando Florida, fantastic video.
Wow. Didn't know you could get a scenic view of Phoenix just taxi-ing the airport !!!! That was something.
Always excited to fly with you Greg! And Mike Patey tugging you out!
Do not reply this is a scam. See my recent post!!

I'm always amazed and appreciative that you take the time to make these very interesting videos. Look forward to every one. A long-time viewer.
Livin' in class A airspace, whilst I'm hunkered down in section G...you lucky dog! Great video, thanks!
Thank you once again for being so generous with your time to afford us a ride along.
Great video Greg and good to see you again, tks.
Yeh, done that and did that! Lots of taxi time, possibly more than flight time! Thanks for the memory!
Whew! Scenic tour of Phoenix airport!! Thanks , Greg. 🙂
Great flite thanks for letting us come along! cheers
It still amazes me how clear the skies are when you get above the clouds. And how deep blue the sky is.
Another great video, with the controllers wanting your viewers to see all of KPHX by giving you 26 rather than 25L. I imagine that 300 was closer to the limits than you'd normally like to be. Yup, I expect there are plenty of us who'd love to volunteer to actually be in the right hand seat with you!
26 is normal for arrivals coming in from the northeast. I was based at KPHX for 31 years.
Greg, thanks for the great flyover of my alma mater! The new hockey arena was in clear view and is ready to open in three weeks!!
finally Greg ! nice to see you back
Just the casual TACAMO bird parked at the Cutter ramp. Great video as always!
Holy crap, thought maybe they where gonna have ya cruise downtown Phoenix.... Lol
Greg my 5yr old little girl is fascinated by your videos. She loves airplanes and helicopters. She watches your whole video from start to finish. We have a little regional airport here and she will sit and watch the planes land and depart all day if id let her!
Always a pleasure to ride along, sir. Thanks for having us. 0GM looking mighty sharp inside, the new interior was a nice upgrade.
Until next time o/
I am so jealous of your lifestyle... in a positive way though... congratulations.. you've earned it...💕💕💕💕💕
Beautiful flight Greg. Thank you for sharing that ride along.
No short of volunteers, great flying with you!!

“Hear We. GO!” 390GM Premier One Greg ❤😮😊
Thanks again for the ride. I flew into Phoenix once several years ago on a passenger jet. Beautiful country.
Thanks Greg, Great Video as always, thanks for including us to ride along !!!
Always look forward to Greg's videos. Especially now that I am retired. Thanks Greg. 👍
Thanks Greg for having us along! You always make the right seat the best seat in the house!
That color on your “prancing horse” is sublime👌🏼
I am really happy to fly with you again Mr. Greg Mink. Your diligence, hard work and talent make our flight together awesome. Thank you sir. 75 year old from Clearwater, Fl. 👍❤️🇺🇸🙏🏼
Don’t reply this is a scam see my latest post.
The taxiing was just about as difficult as the flight. Glad you included it all. At least it wasn’t at night.
One of the best things I learned from Greg is “Stay ahead of your airplane”. I’m not a pilot, but I just take that will me anyhow….🙏
Gregg, great flight, thank you for allowing me to sit in the right seat, a pleasure as always.
Complete tour of PDX. The aircraft with the nice paint schemes get to park side by side.
Thank you for the ride tim from Maryland ❤👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you Captain Greg, always, always, such a treat to fly along with you, thank you for sharing, fantastic fight!
Glad you’re back! Was missing your videos!
Another epic ride Greg - thanks for taking the time to share it with us. But, in the history of P1D that has to be the longest Taxi in ever!
Not being a pilot myself, I do appreciate being able to ride along with you. These videos are never boring and give men like me such a great insight as to what goes on in a jet plane like the one you own. The blue car you drove up in is not too shabby either. You do really make good videos.

It is gratifying to see the flight crew refraining from "waggling the stick."
Really enjoy your flights! I do feel like I’m in the right seat. Amazing aircraft.
Looked like a solid landing and Taxi to me. Enjoy being in the right seat!
Wow, that taxiing was certainly an exercise in following instructions!
Thanks for the ride!
Uhh yeah! You had your hands full on that one. I thoroughly enjoyed! Thank you 😮😊
Glad to hear you only lost a car in the mess. My father in law lost his home on Manatee and rental on Marco . What a mess and horrible ending for so many . Loved seeing Sky Harbor airport again . Worked there for 11 years . Blessings and thanks for sharing !!
Boy that was quite a taxi from the runway to parking. That was quite the enjoyable ride. Thanks for posting Greg.
That's Sky Harbor for you!
Great video as always Greg! Thanks for bringing us along, and showing us the joys of aviation! Very informative video, and great views. Inspiring me to continue training as a pilot.
Wow, Phoenix has changed a lot since I flew in there.
Greg, you must be a very smart man to have flown F-16s, Own a company, have a jet, and understand what you need to do. I must admit I am very impressed.
That theme from “Gilligan’s Isle” 🎶 A Three Hour Tour”🎶 was going through my mind during that post landing taxi.🤔😳🤔
You still got it man. Rockin the Randolphs in the new ride, great commentary during the flight. Video was well done. Pretty much had a free coarse on taxing!! Lol.. Thanks for getting back on the channel!! Thoroughly enjoyed it!
Love the view of Tempe Town Lake and Sun Devil Stadium!
Even though it was stressful, thanks for sharing that taxi in.
Thanks for this Greg. The hottest summer I ever experienced was a winter I spent in Phoenix.
Like I'm sure you've heard this many times over the last few months, we miss you. Hope all things are going well for you in your new business role. I know business is business and first things first but I'm sure there are many of your viewers and followers that hope there will be a place for us in your future. Again we miss you!
That was a quick preflight.
Just did my first flight in since 2003 it feels good to be back in the air.
good to see you from our perspective again, thanks mate.
Man, that was one long taxi. Crossing runways makes me a little apprehensive. Thinks for bringing me along. Nice flight.
Growing up, I always wanted to be a F-16 pilot then go commercial. For some reason, I always loved how the F-16 looked.
One of my Tucson friends flew the F-15 Eagle. Loved it.
@Premier 1 Driver - Greg, that was some trek from one end of Phoenix Sky Harbor to the other side of the airport... WOW!
Best Regards,
Ben G. / NYC
Really enjoyed that flight Greg. Appreciated the tips for calling up calling up previous waypoints in a Direct to. See ya next time.
An Air Force guy! I love it great videos and stay safe up there...
