Dodging t-storms in a Caravan? I guess Cessna must have upgraded the breed; I flew night freight in the last “A”model built back in the day, and as I remember it, the airplane was certified with deicers on the TRAILING edges of the flying surfaces for use when we were trying to outrun a slow moving cold front.😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Jim, I was reading in my Robb Report about Surfair, Inc. It will soon take delivery of 20 new Grand Caravans. After which 80 more for a total of 100 for conversion to electric power. I had no idea that this was close to happening! Have you had any experience with hybrid electric or fully electric planes?
Hey Jim, Just as well as you had a holiday! Geeze what an 'interesting' weather day mate. I though my day was intense being at Farmers Market in the morning and then producing our Pure Olive Paste all afternoon but i think you win hands down. Brown side down Blue side up mate :-)
I love the variety of the videos from the caravan to the citation, the jet within seconds is into the clouds but it's nice to see some of the countryside in the caravan as you climb.
Wow, Jim. Nice job dodging the heavier thunderstorms. I'm glad you were able to visit Ankeny. Hopefully, next time the trip won't be so "interesting"! Enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work! 👍
I learned to fly at the now-closed Lake Winnebago Airport just southeast of Kansas City, MO, while stationed at Richards-Gebaur AFB in the early seventies. While planning my landing at the Versailles, MO, airport, I made the mistake of announcing my pending arrival to “VerSIGH” UNICOM. After the laughter died down on the radio, I was informed that the proper pronunciation was “VerSAILS.” Yes, lots of laughs and a lesson learned. 😂
Love your videos. I think they really capture the reality of careers like yours. Personally, I would appreciate more detailed instrumentation. The shot you took of the weather radar was excellent!
Always professional and safe, passenger was in better hands then he/she could have known most likely. Seems like the way to go from point "A" to "B" these days. Thanks for the great ride!
I always enjoy your videos... usually with a coffee. 😉 Maybe you have already shared it in a previous video that i have missed. But i would really enjoy hearing your story and how you came to do what you do. Thanks. Ben
A very exciting flight with great scenery flying around the cumulonimbus clouds. Not surprised by the presence of mammatus clouds @7:56 after hearing the weather report of severe thunderstorms with possible tornadoes. Was this a super cell or a strong cold front/squall line producing those storms?
As a young teen I loved assembling model aircraft kits by Monogram and Revell. I built both the F-84 and the F-86. I got to see both models fly at airshows over the years. I never did see a F-100 perform; but I did assemble one.
I began pilot training in 1983. That doesn’t mean a thing. A beautiful video like this, reminds me of why I was so inspired to enter aviation! Marvelous video and the presentation was fantastic! God bless you, Moon !

I will say it again, best pilot videos on U Tube!

Good Surfing aviod CB Caps ! Nice landing little ran right centerline 😊
Thanks for the video, those thunderstorm clouds were huge, but glad you get passed by them safely. Greetings from Finland :)
Thanks. thee were two separate holes that I was shooting for. Had to turn away from both and go through further west.
Nice flying moonbeam! That cloud surfing segment at the end while dodging the storms was awesome!
Did I hear a ATC mention that Kansas City Center was at 281.45? Isn’t that a strange frequency?

That was truly a good one sir, some professional piloting skills on display. Are you buy chance coming to Chicago for the NASCAR race?
Expert piloting. Thanks for the cool vid.
The truth is, I should be thanking you for watching.. Thanks for watching Purple😎

Hey Capt, can you share your camera and settings? That video almost looks fake its so good.
Would a PC12 be a better ship for the job you’re doing ?
You weren't kidding the weather did make quite a change compared to earlier in the day. Those clouds looked pretty nasty as you were landing for sure!
Hope you're having a great time. Hope you had a chance to see the new F-15 at the Spirit airshow.

Geat stuff, always look forward to your next video!
Beautiful view captain. Mother nature can be wicked at the same time be awesome looking. Thank you!
That UFO at 12 o’clock was relentless. 😂😂😂
Did you notice the tracer round at 10:04? Scary!!!
And more at 11:14. Someone has it out for Jim!
Thank you sir for another great video!
Great video. Thanks for sharing
Too close for me. I’d never like to look up and see one of those anvils.
Love this guy 5x5 here!
Spectacular.
Great video!
Like!
Nice maneuvering through those storms. Awesome flight as always.

Those reflections ( UFOs ) can be distracting. When the Tower said calm winds, I might've asked for 8L but it worked out nicely. Fun flight !
Great video Jim. To me those thunderstorms are fascinating and beautiful from your view of them! Cheers from CYYB.
Great dodge and weave flight Capt.
Beautiful angry skies.
Jim, those views at the end of the video were fantastic, the instrument panel and the ground lights, just beautiful. Thanks
👍👍

I know that weather is dangerous, but gosh the cloud formations and lightning sure are beautiful. Great video Capt.
