    After watching all 3 parts, I’ve got “five niner two one charlie” burned into my brain.

    I was worried after months of silence this part 3 would never be made! Glad to see it posted.

    Just thank you for doing something that most can't or won't and sharing it with us. It is a safe and acceptable way to vicariously enjoy flying. Your editing is stellar. Your style of just having us along without explaining every little move is refreshing too. Another commenter asked for a Q&A ... yes please!

    I knew things were going to be hectic with your move and settling in to your new home in addition to the requirements of your profession. I'm ecstatic you finally completed all the intensive editing of the flight (I know the cameras are running the entire time which = tons of footage you have to go through to get what you want to release) to give us your final professional video. Great Job Stevie and please keep the videos coming when the opportunities present!!

    Stevie actually arrived here in late October 2021, and had prearranged a hangar at KCMA prior to her arrival. During the second leg, she can be heard in the video saying that if any pilots in the area recall her call sign "...remember the date of October, this is me in the Bonanza." So she's been in So Cal for a bit, likely getting settled in and working. At the very end of this third video, you can see that the trip took three days, covered 1,846 miles, required 5-fuel stops and used 200-gallons of 100-LL. She also mentions that the actual flying time was a bit over 16-hours, so I'm guessing it simply took awhile to edit the video then post it. Belated welcome to the West Coast, Stevie, and yes, the Waypoint closes at 1600 local, but the food and vibe are awesome. Enjoy...

    I am a man of 60 years of age, I have had a fear of flying since a long time ago. on every trip, not being able to sleep, stomach ache and panic seemed to be the most frightening qualities that I had. but by looking at your flight and how you cope with flying, for the first time could travel with much less fear. I want to thank you very much from my heart. Wishing you all the happiness and success for you.

    As others have commented below, you’ve inspired me to pursue my PPL. I posted this on one of your videos back in November. Today I’m fully complete with ground school and have taken about two months of flight lessons. Listening to hours of your radio communication (and others on RUclips) has helped me tremendously! Please keep the videos coming!!

    Every day my wife asked me, "Did Stevie make it?" We were beginning to get worried that something happened. We're happy you're safe and everything worked out well. Thanks for taking us along for the ride.

    4500 is a fairly low altitude for that flight; I usually try to fly up around 75-10.5 if possible for cooler air in summer as well as hopefully smoother air. In warm weather it can be very bouncy, even up high. I've flown from AZ through Banning Pass many times, and have been based in Camarillo for many years. There are lots of great flights in this area. You will have a fantastic time.

    I'm super impressed Stevie! I was flying a Cessna 152 and Piper Tomahawk when I was 16/17 years old, Did my solo flight and had to stop. I'm 54 now and I'm gonna get back into it. Stay safe! Awesome video!

    WOW. Totally worth the 2 months wait between part 2 and this epic ending to your journey from Michigan to California. Your editing skills are very good. The series told a cool story.

    That is amazing. You went 3 days across the entire country and never ran into any weather. You picked a great time to move.

    i have absolutely no interest in ever flying a plane but i love your videos so much lol. ever since i got in a car accident i've had so much anxiety about driving, so seeing a girl my age operate a much more complicted vehicle with such a happy, calm vibe is so incredibly helpful to me. thank you for helping my confidence :)

  • @johngriecosr8723

    Stevie, I know this is way after you moved from Michigan to southern California, I wanted to say welcome to California. You will have a great time there exploring all the airports there and other venues. As a resident of southern California for 75 years, El Segundo, Hawthorne, Hermosa Beach, Westchester, Van Nuys, I have always been around airports. I have always been a aircraft fanatic since I could hold a toy airplane in my hand. My father was a pilot in the late thirties until 1945, when I was born. He was a mechanic in Bangalore, India during WWII, keeping P-39
