Gulf Coast Swing 5: BYE, BYE Key West...Hello Tampa
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 дек 2019
- Key West was a blast but it's time to go! This is a VFR departure out of Key West International (EYW) and during the flight over Fort Myers we pick up our IFR clearance into Tampa Executive Airport (VDF). After the flight Jaime and I grab lunch in Tampa with Maggie and Jay and then we continue our Gulf Coast Swing adventures. Stay tuned for more fun in the sun!

Great video. Brings back alot of memories. Got my ppl in 1978 at Vandenberg airport when all there was was 18/36. Know the area very well. Thanks and stay safe.
Thanks for a very pleasant diversion ! I’ve been sat here in Manchester England watching
The freezing rain bouncing off the windows waiting for your video to be posted.
I really enjoy my travels with you ! 😀
Stephen.
Nice flight !!!!! I have to say that I really enjoy getting to hear your communications where you are controllers. And I think this channel can give all of us pilots a better understanding of what controllers are thinking when we all communicate with them. Nice kinda behind the scenes if you will. Awesome
I loved the video. Been to all those airports flying classified mail and freight in a metro liner. I love that everyone was so savy about the flight too. Thanks for sharing!!!
Y’all are awesome remembering all those numbers and stuff I can’t remember what I had for lunch
Great clip! I was stationed at Key West Naval Annex in 1969 with HS-1 ASW Training Squadron. As you turned north from the airport, I was able to see the Annex out your left window... Hanger and all still there. Thanks for bringing me the memories! I totally enjoy watching your clips.
Always enjoy your flights. Again, Thanks for sharing. ❤🇺🇸♥️
I LOVE the video fast forwarding at 14:30 rather than just skipping to the point. Please keep these!
Was talking to my Buddy Clay Sutton ATC in PTC Ga. says he has worked you many times as you venture down south. Told him how much I enjoyed your Videos.. He told me he has reached out in email chatted with you.. Keep the videos coming.. Safe travels ..
Love your channel..I am an early riser and watch your videos every Saturday morning..Scared of flying but fascinated by it at the same time🤷♂️ so I am living vicariously through you all haha! Take care!
Thanks for the Blue Sky, Blue Water, and Hot Temps! It's overcast and chilly here in Philadelphia. Such a great pick-me-up on a Friday afternoon! Thanks as always, Kevin! =]
Everything looks so warm! 😁 We're at 11°F right now in MA, and falling this AM.
Thanks for sharing, Kevin & Jamie - great stuff as always. 👍🍻
Smitty Smithsonite - Yet the Global Warming nutcases are telling us we have to spend trillions of dollars to lower CO2 because "everything is burning up."
Really liked that communication with the Navy operator! Awesome
Nice - lunch @ Ulele / Armature Works downtown is awesome...Thanks for the ride along in our airspace (@wave to Ft. Green to the right as you zoom by the parrish power plant)
Thanks for the videos, have been enjoying your posts. Not sure where I first heard “hair of the dog” but have been familiar with it for some 30 plus years. Maybe my Navy days, also the blimp tethered in the keys as I recall was for drug interdiction and surveillance down there. I sailed the keys in 1983 and it was there back then. Thanks again for the videos, stay safe and have fun.
You are correct on the guess about the Blimp/Balloon. "fat Albert" was another one and it was stationed at Patrick Air Force Base in Brevard County
Thanks for the flight and view of Tampa.I pass that airway strip daily on 275.
That is a proper Aeroplane doing some great flying. Love the sporty left turn departure.
Thanks for sharing the flight to Tampa. Wish you could have included more from Key West.
Looks like you all had a great time.
Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it JT. Not sure if you saw the last video (Gulf Coast Swing 4) but we did put some of our island exploring in that video. We'll have some more outside the plane on the next couple. :)
Great views, great communication. It’s better than flying in a commercial airplane as you can appreciate the places as you fly over.
Thank you.
Nice flight Kevin. Each time you advance those throttles it takes me back to the day. Cheers mate, I’m now off to the beach in Wollongong, 85kms south of Sydney, Australia. 😎✈️👍🇦🇺
Thank you sir,very nice view on the board!!
That's correct about the tethered blimp. I lived in Marathon for three years in the early 90's and it was there then too and locals refer to it as "Fat Albert"!
Great video as usual thanks for bringing us along for the journey.
Glad you enjoyed it Kevin!
Nice trip! Beautiful shots!
Really enjoyed this. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for letting us fly along. Was fun :D
Another fun video. I look forward to a new video every Friday evening. It always pairs well with a nice adult beverage! Thank you!
Thanks Tony...glad you're enjoying them! :)
Love Jamies Shirt, hopefully you guys got to see the Gold museum
Safe flying! Stay warm!Next time you guys do your Gulf Coast swing you should stop in Naples!
Really enjoyed this series of videos... Your Channel along with a couple of others has got me back to getting my PPL. Thanks!!!
All good things must come to an end. Gotta get back down there. You're getting good with that picture-in-picture video.
Love your videos guys! Happy Holidays from Naperville! 😉👍👍❤️🎄🍀
...thanks for sharing...always enjoy your very interesting and entertaining videos..keep up the good work you two...such fun..
Glad you enjoyed it! We'll keep them coming as long as ya'll are enjoying them. :)
Yep nice views enjoy rest of trip
Love watching. Rich
Something quite soothing about aircraft engines and chatter noises......lovin' the videos guys :)
And another great video! Thank you so much.
This is so cool....you all are livin' a dream.
I see the Irish Kevin’s shirt. We can’t get past that place every year when we go to Key West. Love Key West and all your videos. Thank you.
Nice job Kevin. Have a great weekend.
"That'll work" . We Pilots are so judgmental of our personal Landings. That was a nice approach and landing yet again!
We sure are. Always in quest of the perfect approach/touchdown. It can be illusive sometimes. :)
Had that flight covered. I think that lady in the back seat must work TPA. I worked at MCF and then first FAA facility was EYW back in the day. Nice flight. The balloon kept an eye on our neighbor to the south as well.
Such a nice flight with amazing scenery, I'm watching with the rain bouncing off the ground here, I'm not jealous in any way shape or form of your lovely weather ;) Awesome video once again, looking forward to the next instalment :)
Glad you enjoyed it Rab! Surprisingly we've had a nice couple of weeks here in Chicago for this time of year. I'm sure that will change soon with lots of snow.
I'm a new old pilot and I really appreciate the training we get from your videos contacting all these towers 👍👍
Glad you're enjoying the channel Ron and congrats on getting your wings recently!! :)
Love the Irish Kevin's T. Classic Key West. I'm sure a good time was had by all
Thanks again guys for a great video. Good to see Tampa again from the air. Now that we are in Alabama, miss Tampa sometimes, but not the traffic and all the Snowbirds...
@Chairman of the Board Close by in Leeds, do enjoy the seasons up here vs always the same in Florida.
I like the way you compliment each other. You're not staging. You're real. Thank you as always for a great episode.
Thank you for the nice compliment!! We honestly never pre-plan anything for the cameras. We just turn them on and do our normal thing. Glad you're enjoying it! :)
Loved this vid. Thanks. That was a stunning climb out and turn. Wouldn't mind having that as my view when I fly.
Glad you enjoyed it! That is a really fun airport to fly in/out of. Hope you get a chance to make it there one day.
Thanks for the video. I enjoyed watching the flight. It's motivating me to get fit again to get back to flying after my time as an Air Force pilot.
Glad you enjoyed it and have fun knocking the rust off!! Thanks for your service as well. :)
You are right about the blimp, we have two of them in Arizona on the boarder.
Thanks for the confirmation!
Just started watching your videos and subscribed to the channel from Arizona. Enjoying the ride!
You were in my backyard! Welcome!
Great video, love the 310! We live in Key Largo, waved as you flew by...
Glad you enjoyed it Steven! We need to explore all the Key's more...sure looks pretty down there. :)
310 Pilot yes, the Keys are beautiful. I flew a 310R years ago. What a great airplane! I’m a B777 Captain for American now. Been living in Key Largo since the late ‘90s. You guys make a great team flying together, it’s evident you both know a lot about aviation and ATC.
I want to wish you guys a Merry Christmas and I love watching your videos
Great teamwork there in the cockpit! Loved the video.
My most favorite plane ever. Ever since Sky King changed over MANY years ago. Still a beauty.
Love watching your videos ..... I finally restarted my Part 61 after a break due to finances. I go out of VDF and ZPH. Armature Works ... great place!
Glad you're enjoying the channel Eric and congrats on getting started back up!! In no time you'll be having your own fun aviation adventures. :)
Great retort, “if the autopilot goes sideways you have to be ready to spring into action on a moments notice”. 👍
I worked Signature at Meigs field, Midway, Ohare, and Chicago Executive....great company, I'm very good friends with the Regional General Manager
Love the line guy fiddling while you get ready to taxi.
I always feel bad if it takes a while when they are standing there but it's not good to rush things in aviation. :)
Awesome cam setup, great little flight trip, you have to wonder why the dislikes, but hey feel good that you have people that envy you for whatever they don't have. First time watching and love the video, subscribed.
That was an interesting flight. Seems like ATC was having a bad day. Thanks for the ride.
Great video guys, Efrain here and I was born and raised in Chicago now living in Sugar Grove and we have always used the term Hair of the dog when hung over and drinking a beer on Sunday morning to get ready for the Bears game.. Bonus trivia Nazareth - Hair Of The Dog had a popular song with the lyric "Now you've messing with a son of a bit..ch
"The autopilot just does it anyway...." LOL, many pilots think that too, right up until that autopilot surprises ya.
Yeah, the autopilot does all the work, until it stops working.
@@colinrasmussen9470 It does what you tell it to do.
Jeremey Hustman until it doesn’t haha
Kevin and Jamie I love your videos I watch him all the time because you like to go places and I love to watch
You were right in my back yard. I lived within walking distance of U-le-le and Tampa Armature Works just a couple years ago and have worked a couple miles from there for 20+ years (not downtown, blue collar guy). Live up in Lutz / Wesley Chapel now next to a little airport, Tampa North I guess it goes by. I would have bought you a drink if I knew you were gonna be in the neighborhood. Maybe next time. Enjoy your channel!
Damn I have trouble entering route info into my nav system in my car. These folks are a great team and the flight turbulence is non existent 🤣
Kevin, your correct those blimps off the coast monitor for drug activity concerning water craft and low flying planes using side scan and look down radar. Thanks for another excellent video.
Absolutely amazing video guys! Tampa is my home and I recognized all those landmarks! Including the Hard Rock! I especially enjoyed the part where you guys were making your approach into Tampa coming down through the clouds, it would have been nice to see it in real time but it's okay you speed it up! As always can't wait to see your next video! You just got to love our Florida weather!
Glad you enjoyed the video of your home from above! We loved our trip to Florida and the weather was really nice (minus the line of storms we had to dodge on the way to Key West). Thanks for the continued support!
You guys are always welcome!
On your climb out I noticed Key West doesn't seem to have changed that much since 1974. I went to Navy electronics school there and I met my wife there as well. Left in Feb of 74 and came back in April of 74 as well after reporting to my first Coast Guard Cutter you get married. Smooth flight there but ATC seemed out of sorts but you made a very smooth landing.
Thanks for the video really enjoy watching you fly
You're welcome Gerald...glad you're enjoying the channel!
so glad to be watching again .. missed your vids ,,, cant wait for u to come back to Janesville wi.. ..
Glad to be back with weekly videos Bob. Going to be amazing to get our 310 back in the next couple weeks to resume those again. We for sure will plan a Janesville, WI breakfast run again. We'll try to post it ahead of time on Instagram if people want to meet up (easiest way to get info out quickly).
Great flight! Happy holiday you 2!
Glad you enjoyed it Glenn...Happy Holidays to you as well!
That a Boy Kevin! Keep her square about PIC 100% of the time and enjoy the luxury of your electronic pilot assisting you. Ha Ha ha... Tomorrow's the day hopefully it will be a great game but I got to support my West Boy's and be a LSU Tiger tomorrow. It should be a great game. Can't wait to see the next leg of the trip. Keep'em coming, RTR....
We always look out for the tethered balloon when we fly into Boca Chica. Very cool to see you guys flying near an area I'm very familiar with. Keep those videos coming! Enjoy Tampa!
It was pretty cool getting to see it at our altitude...that thing is huge. I'm sure you guys have a blast TDY down there...especially in the winter months. Here's a sad story that someone told me about from that balloon after hearing me talk about it.

Bye bye Key West is always a good thing. I love it when I leave the island. Flown out of that airport at least 40 times.
What aircraft type do you fly there?
Destin bound....very cool!!
Well I know about now your missing the warmth from your trip, can't be too warm flying around the great lakes today. Sure wasn't warm this morning ;-O Looked like everyone was enjoying the moment for sure. Thanks for the ride along!!!
You're welcome Dick! Sure isn't warm up here right now. I was out hunting the other day and was freezing. The plane is getting painted right now so no flying for a few weeks. :)
I'm a great fan of your videos . This is another fun one . I'm 70 with sever health problems . And flying vids are my entertainment .
Glad you're enjoying the videos Tom!! Sorry to hear about your health issues. We'll keep making the videos and hope you can get a little enjoyment out of our flying journeys. :)
I pray I live in an infinite universe. Because some day I'm gonna live your life. You're my hero, brother. Love that 310.
Back seat pilot was excellent! Good video. Would like to have heard the RE-routing request. Good job!
Nice video. Thanks for high speeding though the clouds sequence vs just cutting it out!
Glad you liked it James and thanks for the feedback! Always a struggle (for me) on what to edit out and keep for a manageable video length. I try to keep them in the low 20 min mark. Aviation is tough to capture a flight in less. :)
Holy upgraded flight panel? Very nice. Love your videos.
Y'ALL ARE SO AWESOME!!!
Now now Kevin.. ATC was having a bad day. equipment down... The girl in back was seemingly very knowledgeable .. or maybe I should have known that .. but very nice scenery too.. have a great day.. and keep flying safe. I'll keep watching.
Guys, I am a huge fan of yours. Seen every video from beginning to end on your channel. Kicking myself in the ass for not seeing that you guys were gonna be in Tampa. I am 10 minutes from Tampa Exec.
I can see by your shirt u went to Irish Kevin's. I've lived here 21 years and still haven't been there. I need to get out more. Great video.
I was there in 1999. I didn't know it was still around. The most fun bar in the world!!! Yes, you need to get out more!
Great job, I saw you eyeing that King Air!
Hello. Not sure if anyone has answered about the balloon you were talking about in Key West. It is a multi faceted balloon used for communications, weather, and radar. There are a few other things it can do, but I am not sure if I should say them on RUclips. I worked with these types balloons while I was deployed to Afghanistan. I used them to extend radio coverage for the troops on the ground. They are pretty cool and surprisingly larger than you would think. Hope that helps. Love your videos, they have really encouraged me to pursue my pilot's licence. :)
Enjoyed the flight, great job.
Hair of the Dog is real in the UK - great video yet again !! Thank you
I love the Conch Republic! It's like going to the 'Garden of Eden'!
I like that reference....Garden of Eden! its on the top floor!!! bahahahaha
Great as always. Flying seems like it would be relaxing to me.
Glad you enjoyed it Brian! It is very relaxing to me as well. :)
Enjoyed the video, have a great time at the game. Go Tigers.
Thanks for letting me ride along very pretty flight.
You're welcome Joe...glad you enjoyed it!
Did a bit of gambling at the Hard Rock a few years back when I was on vacation from Newfoundland, CA. Great video's there. Need to do one of Canada's East Coast.
Love Paradaise island,love KeyWest!!!!!!!!!I used to fly from there many times.
Love Y’all’s Videos!
I started my flight training three months ago and will be taking the written in three weeks. I was having a hard time communicating with ATC. Your videos have helped me a lot to say the least. I hope to have my license by the end of Jan and plan fly the Baja peninsula in April. Keep the videos coming....saludos.
Glad you're enjoying the videos Fabian and are getting something out of them. Early congrats on your upcoming license! Have fun making your own aviation adventures. One day we will make it to the Baja!
awesome video!! thanks i really enjoyed. thanks for sharing!!
You're very welcome Natan! Glad you enjoyed it. :)
Flying the bay rocks, PCM was home, miss it all
