My 7 year old grandson is watching with me this morning and asked why you said it was going to get bumpy in the clouds. "They look so fluffy and light". Had a science moment this morning explaining about rising air and thermals. He is so into aviation. Guess it runs in the family. Thanks for another great video.

Hi larry. I love hearing that this videos are sometimes the catalyst for moments like that.

That Fort Myers controller was super clear. Wish all controllers sounded like that.

I like your Co-pilot energy in the cockpit, CMB. He always seems relaxed and has that vibe of "I have been doing this a long time". Definitely not taking anything away from you😅. I really enjoy your videos 👏🏾👏🏾.

Hi Jim, Glad to see you still flying and posting vids during the pandemic. How about a short clip on entering a flightplan into an FMC (when able). Maybe in the M2 and the CJ3. Thanks much.

Visited my uncle’s family shortly after I was married and went over to Sanibel. You’re right about the shells. Amazing. My uncle flew B-24s out of North Africa, Malta, and Italy in WWII (15th AAF?). Following the war he settled in Ft. Myers and taught flying and flew charters around southwest Florida, including floatplanes to the pre-bridge Sanibel Island. Sadly I missed my chance to learn to fly from him when I was in high school. We lived in the Seattle area at the time, so it would have been a summer spent in Ft. Myers. My Dad had also been in the AAF as a P-61 radar operator, but like so many WWII vets gave up flying after the war..

@captmoonbeam

thanks Pete. I'd have to say the B-24 had to be a handful to fly. From what I've heard it took a lot of muscle to fly it. the type of flying you say he did there sounds good to me.

@@captmoonbeam Thanks for your reply! My folks moved to Seattle when I was 4 when my Dad became a Boeing engineer, so we were closely related to flying (I was present for the 737's 1967 maiden flight takeoff). We finally returned to the East Coast in 1970 just before my 10th grade year, flying from Seattle via St. Louis to Miami and then drove Alligator Alley over to my Aunt Jackie and Uncle Mel's place in Ft Myers to visit. I wasn't into WWII aviation yet so entirely missed the chance to talk with him about his flying experiences. When my wife and I visited about 20 years later, he wasn't much into talking about WWII or flying in general. Sadly by then he as diabetic and no long flying. Still, he was my Dad's height and in WWII was trim and muscular as can be seen in contemporary photos with them both in their USAAF uniforms, so I can quite imagine him wrestling those big planes through the sky.
