You are by far the most complete professional Corporate pilot doing videos on KZread that I've seen. Camera work, music, explaining everything you're doing. It's like riding along with a Flight Instructor. Can't begin to tell you what that means to all of us. Don't get me wrong some of the others come extremely close to you. I am a retired part-time videographer, also pilot years ago, and I can appreciate your professionalism in everything you do. Looking forward to your next video. Keep up the great work.

Great video! It can't be stressed enough how dangerous it is flying VFR at night over water with no moon! I made a VFR flight to KEYW one moonless night and if I hadn't been right in the middle of working on my IFR rating I'd probably be a statistic. This is one of those rare cases that just because it's legal doesn't mean it should be done!

Airplanes are extremely complex mechanical devices that can experience a failure at any time, and unlike a car you can't just pull over if the engine quits.

I was ferrying a P-47 from KLAV to KCNO and the same happened to me. Flying a customers newly purchased aircraft at night was daunting already but to have some JACK WAGON shoot me with a laser really pissed me off. First time that's ever happened to me

I got my private license at KEYW (my hometown) in 1978 during college breaks, paying for it by working as a line service guy at the FBO there, then called 'Island City Flying Service'. (A good way to learn lots about aviation by "hangar flying" and listening to other pilots, instructors, and seeing some stuff happen. ("Well, I know now not to try that!".) Going back to college in Tampa, I rented a mighty C152 and flew to EYW for a long weekend with a friend. I made the return tip on a dark, moonless night, just like your trip. Not instrument rated, (pre-GPS, and using DR for Nav), but benefitting from an instructor who did some hood work with me, I was instantly on the gauges about 2 minutes into the flight. Dangerous because the nautical buoy lights and stars blend, and can cause bad "spatial D". My friend, looking down out of the right widow, is like" Hey look, I can see the dog track on Stock Island". Me: "Thanks, but...(I'm just trying to keep us from dying right now"). On the gauges, doing 90 KIAS, until up around Fort Meyers. Another "I learned a lot about flying from that" story. Went on to get instrument rated (a must!) and got 1000 hours in the F-14 Tomcat as a RIO. Still flying - In NE now. I really enjoy the videos Steveo, as I get to fly in Florida vicariously through your site. Keep up the great work!

During my flight training, we did my Night XC from Fort Pierce down to FXE for a full stop. Once we took off, my instructor told me to maintain course since we were taking off to the west and he took me out over the everglades. This video just brings back those memories of instantly losing all sight of the ground and that blackhole effect. He described that this is the closest you can get without being IFR and as a VFR pilot to be extra caustious when performing flights like this. Thanks for the video steveo! Love when you get unique situations like this and turn it into a learning example for others!

Just amazing. Had to give up flying in 2001 due to heart issues. I can’t believe how much easier Instrument flight is now days. Busy as heck, but so much easier than the old days all on steam gauges and paper. 🤟🏻

Love night's smooth air....quite a landing!! Great time to practice precise headings, speeds,and altitude

Glad you didn’t experience the laser! Fly safe.

I've watched a lot of your videos but never commented. I really enjoyed reliving my Air Force instrument flying training/actual experience memories by watching this video! My favorite aspect of flying was instrument flying, I loved the challenge of it. When you went "blacked out horizon" the old training vibes kicked in and I was with this video all the way! In a good way, being in "sync" with the instruments is actually very calming versus the potential to get freaked out when you lose visual contact with the horizon day or night. Just this past month I flew commercial to Miami to Ecuador and from Ecuador to Miami and YES, there is not much in terms of light in South Florida at night except on the coasts!!! I enjoyed this video!

Great flight! Nice landing. Glad everyone is safe ✈️✨ you’re THE BEST!

Always love following your flight videos. because you add an element that no other video's on KZread show. Watching your instrumentation as you progress in the flight is by far the koolest part of your flights. Thanks SteveO.

I’m a day only VFR pilot but I did enjoy this night flight with Steveo! Seeing a professional pilot performing his work gives me hope this is something I can strive for in the future. I agree with many other comments, Steveo’s production work is spot on and it’s a pleasure to watch. Thanks for the ride mate! Greetings from Melbourne Australia.

Very stressful flying at night specially when you can’t see the horizon. Great Job, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I got my initial pilots license when I was stationed at Navy Key West. I’ve made that flight many times. It does get real dark over the golf. It’s a long flight in a C172! Very intimidating for a low time pilot!

Being a 17 year old and really into music and aviation, this is by far the best video I've ever seen. I would certainly love to have you as my instructor if I had the time of course XD. You're awesome!

It was an enjoyable night IFR flight. I really appreciate you because you literally describe everything you do from take-off to landing, we learn a lot from an experienced amazing pilot like you. THANK YOU SO MUCH, I hope that one day I can finally get my PPL, CPL, and IR licenses if the age wasn't my barrier to getting these licenses as a personal goal.

I've not gotten past a Part 107 but I still learn from you in every video like you're my flight instructor. Thank you so much for every video you make!

I had a younger brother who flew in the UK Fleet Air Arm years ago and on a few occasions had to fly some top politicians into a Norwegian location in the depths of winter at night in a snow storm apparently into a very small airport in the middle of nowhere . Probably not the high tech navigation systems of today either . He said he felt very relieved when they were all back in the UK .

Incredible video. Just started studying for the IFR and your videos really help! Thanks!

Steve-O thank you for the heads up and the discount on Pivot cases. They’ve finally released the new one for the 6th gen IPad mini and I absolutely love it. I bought several different mounts and use them in my daily driver, my off road truck and ofcourse when I’m flying. They really are superior cases and mounts.

I've done the Key West to OPF, TMB. HWO, PMP, FXE arrivals from the west on multiple occasions at night. Your camera work and narration DOES replicate the awe and exhilaration of pitch black night flying then transitioning into lighted area. It's frickin' awesome. I personally love it. Oh yes, the thought of a possible laser infringement would ruin a flight but the majestic view of transitioning from the everglades to south Florida scenery makes it all worthwhile. Great flight. 😃

Great flight! You make it look so easy!

Thank you for the ride mr.

Love flying with you Steveo! Thanks for explaining everything so clearly. Would love to fly in a TBM some day!

Great flight Steve O as always fun and informative videos to watch! As a VFR pilot, my first experience with IMC was not nighttime it was slant vision with what looks like not a big issue I was descending into about 3000 feet to final destination with a little precept and weather forming in what appeared to be thin cloud layers until I was in it! Really glad I spent the extra money on the synthetic vision for ForeFlight that got me down calmly of course also with the training under the hood I had kicked in HARD! Thanks for your videos it’s a great learning environment and brings me a little closer to wanting my instrument if I could afford the plane? As mine is VFR only. Blessings

I love learning new things watching your videos! Thanks Steveo!

As someone who has been lasered on a night flight while approaching the airport I can confirm it sucks, the nice thing was there happened to be a police helicopter airborne near by to go and have a look

Nice flight, thanks for the ride-along.

0:23:38 onwards, the laser call out is made, although there is no laser shone at this pilot. Even so, one can sense the tension. I marvel at how a pilot can fly an aircraft from one anonymous site to another anonymous site. I know the instruments, software, GPS and maps etc facilitate this but even so, it is still awe inspiring landing an aircraft from a totally disorientating place in time and space. This was a smashing presentation. Thank you.

That was a fantastic flight Steveo ✈️👍

@6:18 Referring to flying at night... I love it too. The pattern of lights below yoy gives a very different view of life's patterns... Almost like a film negative... it's like a dark reverse image of what you'd see during the day. And the airport lights. I absolutely love the airport lights. Kind of a cozy secluded feel to it. I also love seeing the approach lights after a minimum ILS approach.

That was a lot of deja vu for me. Learning to fly in Key West 45 years ago, my CFI took me up in the dark a few times and I was totally freaked out when he made me turn away from the lights. He actually made me go on my own but told me not to turn away from town. I never liked it there because it was so freaky and not being IFR rated, even more so! The other really weird thing was that a Convair was trailing you. When I was there, I worked for Air Sunshine (office) who flew DC3's and Convairs. That was a whole other era for sure. So when he was talking to a Convair I said Whoa that's too weird! Lots of memories. Great flight!

I am not a pilot but always had an interest. I do however share your appreciation of the night. I am a sportsman drag racer in the NHRA and there is just something special about the night and piloting a awesome machine.

Back in the late 70s or early 80s, my father was a CFI and was teaching both my mother and myself how to fly. They were doing a long night cross country, and they were either flying a Cherokee 180 or a Skylane, I can't remember which one. They were flying back from upstate New York to Groton, CT. It was dark, and very few lights for ground reference. My father turned to my mom and asked her if she was planning on continuing the spiral into the ground. I guess she had turned over 270º in heading in a gentle, but ever increasing bank. She had no clue what he was talking about, and thought she was straight and level. She didn't realize what was happening. One of the other things is long, straight roads that run at an angle to your path of flight, it's very easy to mistake those for the horizon. After I got my ticket, I would often fly with pilots who were doing 'check runs.' This was to pick up a bunch of checks from banks and then fly them to a regional processing center. Again, way back in the 80s, and of course, we'd be doing this at night. I learned a lot about 'instrument flying' on VFR nights, and the importance of having a well trimmed airplane and constantly cross checking your horizon, altimeter, and heading indicator. I wonder, though, with the new generation of pilots that are flying wide screen glass cockpits if this is as much an issue as it was. I mean, you've got this huge horizon staring you in the face from a 10" display, and it's really kind of hard to not look at that. Granted, your inner ear can still play tricks on you. As to the laser, I hope they find the kid, it's going to be some kid, and that his parents are held responsible. If it was a teenager, I'd like to see them get some jail time. The concept of a laser blinding a pilot is too real and too much damage could be done. If you had a full load and someone flashed you on approach, that person could conceivably be responsible for the death of 4 or 5 people. They don't think about that. So, I hope they found whoever did this and the full force of the law comes home. There is up to an $11,000 fine for doing this, and over $30,000 for multiple laser incidents (I'm assuming that is not multiple aircraft in one night, although that wouldn't be bad, either.)

Another nice flight Steve..Thank you for let us be a part of the experience.

Turn your cockpit lights up bright and don't look outside. I got hit during a night VFR approach to SFO in a Boeing 757. Luckily I was looking down when it hit me and lit up the entire cockpit green.
