Dude - Please don't apologize for the time it takes to create something worth watching! Your stuff is nicely done; you're getting better and better; your content is among the best out there. I learn stuff from each vid that I wasn't expecting, they're nicely paced and never boring. (All that sets you apart in a big way, my friend!) So keep it up, and go at whatever pace serves your well-prioritized life!

That was 40 very enjoyable minutes. You're a great ambassador for aviation Ernie!

Big Ern! Thanks so much for putting this content out there, I always learn a lot by watching your videos. I was wondering if you could let me know what led to your decision to buy the Cirrus. I’m currently finishing up my PPL and looking to buy a plane for work. We will fly about 300 miles each way to and from our two offices a couple times a month and I can’t decide which aircraft would be best. We have considered SR22 and Cessna 182. I’m sure there are others to consider as well but we have just started our search. FYI most of my hours will be in a 172N while training. Thanks for the help ahead of time.

Ernie - Thank You for your videos - They bring back a lot of fond memories - both SWA and GA flying. Wish I could have done some 3 days with you - I was MCO based though - Got too old in June of '18. Heck - I even enjoyed watching you bid - I used the same program - LUV'd it! Keep 'em coming buddy. btw - I was #23780 - Nickname Vampire. Take Care and Be Well.

Your such a cool pilot ern I was watching how you turn the yaw damper on after 3000 feet but I was wondering on the 737 is the yaw damper on all the time or after takeoff and then off for landing or is it checklist or pilot discretion in the 737.

Heard you on tower frequency and couldn't really tell whether or not it was you :), go Sioux!

Today is Friday, June 25, 2021. It is now around 12:11 a.m. MDT., here, in Sandy, Utah, (about 10 miles South of Downtown Salt Lake City, Utah). I live in Sandy, Utah. I love airplanes. Today, I just barely bought tickets to fly on Southwest Airlines, from Salt Lake City, Utah to Phoenix, Arizona, for Wednesday, September 1, 2021, where I will catch Southwest Airlines Flight Number 4916, which departs from Salt Lake City, Utah at 8:55 a.m., MDT and arrives in Phoenix, Arizona at 9:35 a.m. MST, and then I also bought tickets to go see The Arizona Diamondbacks MLB, (Major League Baseball), Team play against The San Diego Padres, MLB Team which will be at Chase Field, in Phoenix Arizona, and that game will be on Wednesday, September 1, 2021, and it will start at 12:40 p.m. MST. I will be setting at Section 302, Row 2, Seat 11. After the game gets over, I will go back to the Airport, and then I will catch South West Airlines Flight Number 4132, which will depart from Phoenix, Arizona at 8:35 p.m. MST and arrive at Salt Lake City, Utah International Airport at 11:05 p.m., MDT.. So the point of this comment is I will get to fly on air planes, on Wednesday, September 1, 2021. Big Ern, if you read this comment, maybe you can TRY and sign up to pilot either Southwest Airlines Flight 4916 from Salt Lake City, Utah to Phoenix, Arizona, which will be from 8:55 a.m. Salt Lake City's time, on Wednesday, September 1, 2021, and arrive in Phoenix, Arizona at 9:35 a.m., Phoenix, Arizona's time, or maybe you can pilot The Southwest Airlines Flight Number 4132 which will depart from Phoenix, Arizona, on Wednesday, September 1, 2021, at 8:35 p.m. Phoenix, Arizona Time and arrive at Salt Lake City, Utah at 11:05 p.m. Salt Lake City, Utah time, so that I can meet you, in person, and if you want to, you can purchase tickets for The Arizona Diamondbacks Baseball Game, at Chase Field, in Phoenix, Arizona, which will start at 12:40 p.m., Phoenix, Arizona Time, for near section 302, Row 2. I am not forcing you, to, but I am only suggesting this to you, so that I can fly on the same plane, that you pilot, and meet you, but it is up to you. It is your choice. Thank you. Thanks. Have a GREAT day, night, and week. Heavenly Father/God, Jesus Christ, and The Holy Ghost loves you and are your best Friends you will always have. Smile and be happy. Bye.

Sending you a 2nd message on IG, I'm an editor, social media director, live in Scottsdale AND I'm a Cirrus pilot.

Ever made the mistake of accidentally saying your Cirrus call-sign while at work in the 737? lol

My comments largely echo the others in terms of how great your videos are. Personally, I would rather see this kind of video over the jet stuff. Daily or weekly videos aren't necessary. Don't spend your free time editing video or you will have some regrets and likely drop out of the game. All the best and Happy Fathers Day.
