I have Multiple Sclerosis and I am 100% Disabled. Watching your wonderful videos are the only way to travel for me. Thank you for doing your videos keep it up please there great!

As a former airline captain I would like to complement you on your ATC skills. Top notch! One thing that our training flight department (KLM) was always strict on: reply of the Pilot Flying on (automated) calls and readouts. e.g. five hundred would be answered by cleared or standby. TCAS resolution should always be adhered to and announced to ATC : TCAS climb. There's no such thing as ignoring a TCAS resolution. Safe flying to you sir.

Another excellent infight video Greg. Well done!!! Seeing the TCAS system working was very interesting. There was some amount of traffic around your aircraft during that approach. I felt a little nervous especially when we saw that aircraft below and to the side of you. It would be nice if you were able to inset the PFD/NAV with TCAS to the left side of the video for us techno geeks to view for the entire flight, but I understand that this would probably require two seperate cameras and mounts to achive this and perhaps a fair bit of editing work for you too, but I think it would look pretty cool and I think us data geeks would love it. Maybe a future idea for you:) Have you ever made a video of your walk around of the aircraft as it would be interesting to see what checks you do externally and I'd love to see a close up of the landing gear, engines, or other externally accesible systems on your aircraft. Looking forward to the next video. John Morrison

I really enjoy watching and learning the instruments- I always see IAS but where do instruments show the true airspeed? Never see that...

Can't thank you enough for posting these videos. This is all the flying I get to do anymore and I love it.

Good flight seem to come down a bit hard is that standard for that sort of jet ? Cheers

You flew directly over my house and into my home airport! Cool to see it from a jet perspective, great video as always!

Just awesome! Thanks for all the explinations. The different angles were great too. Can't wait for the next one.

Thank you for doing these. I love your videos always educational and entertaining and got to see some cool views of my hometown in this one!

That was awesome! Love the radio dialogue! I really felt that "floating" waiting for the wheels to touch sensation. Great video!

Thank you so much for posting these videos . Even the most boring flight is a joy to be right there with you.

Love your videos. Wish I could spend a day with you and learn as much as I can.... Thanks for posting..

Amazed at how watchable your flights are. Big fun. Keep them coming!

Excellent video as usual. You never disappoint...."Sporty" arrival indeed. Lots of fun to watch. Thanks for sharing

That was a fun flight! Nice when you get busy like that! Thanks for another great video.

Good stuff! Thanks for posting, always fun and interesting.

Great video. I have about 800 hours (Private w/ Instrument single engine) but I haven't flown a plane in almost 10 years. Your videos are inspiring me to get back into it. Thanks for posting!

+newgtguy Great. I hope you go back out and get current.

Hey Greg, I'm a young old man of 81 who really enjoys flying and you have made it possible for me to fly to and from so many places. I enjoy your style and am learning also a lot more about flying. I can't wait to do the next trip with you. You see as a retired person I have very little to do except to go walk in the park. You have made it possible that I don't have to be a millionaire because you have given me your time and you spend the fuel money. I hope others will join in to see what fun it is to ride with you. Thanks for being you, and sharing your experiences with us. I also am happy to know that you were a military pilot before and I can see that that experience has molded you into what you are now. You are great! Paul Addison Wilhite

Nice video. Well done. Thanks for letting me fly with you. It's almost like actually being in the plane! You have a new fan!

Another outstanding video -- thanks for the effort in posting these flights. Your video production values are high and much appreciated.

man this stuff brings back memories......used to keep our plane at Falcon field till we moved to Paradise Valley,,,,,,new plane, new field Scottsdale...wasn't much out that way back then...........Man, I am old!

That definitely sounded like a frustration sigh there after arrival. Another great video Sir. I know its an older video, but i am enjoying all of them!

Always fun to watch ! Greg, you are so "ahead of the airplane". Thanks !

Always enjoy your videos, Thank you!

You never cease to disappoint me with your professionalism and flying skills. It is quite obvious that you are extremely well trained and your years of experience flying are quite obvious. When I ride with you, it is the closest I will come to a private Jet!!

That was a superb video my friend!! very intense with TCAS aircraft proximity very very awesome.

2nd time I've watched. Controllers were very busy. Enjoyed it as much as first time watching. Always see something new.

I love Phoenix and Scottsdale, especially this airport. Enjoy your work!

Another great video thanks for all your efforts.

Fun, busy flight, thanks for the ride...

Outstanding! I am an old pilot who can only dreamed of having the talent and equipment that you do! God bless you and I thank you for giving me this opportunity to keep dreaming! Kudos my friend! (Thumbs up)

Awesome approach and landing. Thanks again.

Your videos are awesome, thanks for sharing !!!

Awesome video, appreciate all of the explanations!

Excellent video! You make it look easy! There is no substitute for experience! Have a happy Easter....

Thanks for the video, much appreciated!

Outstanding video. Congratulations from Brighton UK

Always enjoy your videos but this one was outstanding! Enjoyed the controller too, on the ball!

Good video. Busy place Scottsdale. Enjoyed it as always.

Yet another great vid. Wow, that airspace is busy. Keep them coming!

Another awesome video. Thanks for sharing.

Another Awesome Video. Thanks.

As a controller, I thoroughly enjoy your videos. It's great to see what is going on in the cockpit especially being single pilot!

Target rich environment! Great video. Thanks Greg!

What an awesome approach! I kept waiting for you shave off the greens on the golf course. Very Busy AIRPORT!

Sporty indeed! Very busy in AZ ... must be Spring break! Nice new Profile pic! Go AF! Thanks for the great flights!

Wow, that was kind of intense! Excellent flying sir!

Your constant state of calm and control would be a source of confidence for any passenger.

Videos are great, thank you!

Really enjoyed your going over some of the avionics explanations with your Pen as Pointer :-)!!!! A little busy at Scottsdale ATC I'd say......Great video!

Thanks for another great one! Really enjoyed seeing how the TCAS system worked in your jet. I think I might of been a little white knuckled after seeing how close that traffic was!

Great video. I enjoy all of them

great videos! That seemed quite intense, controller was certainly busy. I'm not a pilot, but I sure admire your coolness.. And I'm learning a lot from you in whats involved in flying. Keep the vids coming, I'm hooked...

KSDL, where I learned to fly, and where I worked for years. Now I live just North of Luke AFB. F-16 & F-35 flights over the house all the time. Welcome back to the desert. Excellent videos. Thank you. I look forward to them.

Great video. Thanks

That final approach was thrilling! I could feel your concentration. Nice work! It looked more nerve racking than an ILS landing in zero vis.

Sporty indeed! Nice job, as always, sir.

Today I had the opportunity to see the video and it has been very interesting, although with a lot of air traffic, I see how its serenity and professionalism give an extra touch to the videos. I love it and that's why I subscribed, and what as a retired pilot, I observe the duration of the videos and you can recreate yourself in the cabin and in the procedures, both yours and the ATC!, great and congratulations, Mr. Greg.

I really appreciate watching all your videos. I lost my medical several years ago and now teach at FlightSafety. I get to fly through yours and others videos. I enjoy yours especially because I'm a conservative pilot as well. My dad was an AF pilot and he inspired my brother and me to become pilots. I flew for PSA Airlines, flying CRJ700s. Miss flying them but I've got a great job now playing w our wonderful sims! If you're ever in Orlando stop in and say hi. I'll give you a ride in the Mustang! 😎

Wow what a facility. Bet you all had a fantastic day.

Just when I think you can't do any better videos than what you've posted previously, you do this! Wow. I've flown into PHX-Scottsdale-Mesa many times so I know the area well. I couldn't believe it when they routed you all the way around by Chandler and then up across PHX! And then the TCAS and video of the conflicting traffic buzzing by - awesome trip if not a bit nerve wracking. Great job :-)

Hi Greg, just going through all of your flights again! Thanks.

That tower controller is on the ball! You both earned your money that day!

Love your flying mate.

thanks for sharing i sure enjoy your flights

Not sure if you know, but they took you on the bravo transition. There's a manmade lake on the Firebird Raceway right near where you were at the 20 minute mark and that's the start of the bravo transition. They then fly you north straight over the threshold of the runways in use. If they're using the 25s and 26 like they were in your case then they put you on the east transition. If they're using the 7s and 8 they put you on the west transition. I've done it in the 172 a couple times, really cool! Also all those targets at 16:51 are VFR guys in the practice area most likely from Chandler or Gateway

That shot of you turning final was incredible

Well that was fun...Those controllers do a damn good job keeping everyone separated. Another entertaining video.

Love the videos--so glad I found your "channel!" Thank you for all the work to put them together for us armchair pilots.

Not exactly. That shot was from my days on the staff of "Cycle Magazine." My pro racing days were aboard TZ250 and TZ750 Yamaha road racers. Love dirtbikes, but I was a better road road racer I think.

You flew over the vicinity of my house on your approach to SDL. I've always wondered how that landing would look in a jet; now I know, thanks!

Loved this one. The traffic alerts seen and unseen. I trained out at Gateway. Nice to hear the chatter over the valley.

Thanks Greg for the videos you post. This one brings back memories from my flying days. I forgot how busy Scottsdale is especially on a great flying day like the one you arrived in. The Phoenix airspace has become a zoo since I had to quit flying (Pacemakers tend to do that). Keep up the nice work, and the work you are doing to promote youth in aviation. In the Navy we'd say Bravo Zulu for a job well done !!

Scottsdale is a fun airport to fly to. When I did some pattern work there, I was amazed at how many high end planes there were. One thing about that airport is there is an INSANE amount of money flowing through that place.

One thing to watch your vid's but always cool to see you flying over my neck of the woods..

It was interesting to hear how busy that one air traffic controller was. Vector after vector after vector. It's amazing the controller even had time to think.

love your vids, hope to see you and at Vegas (my local) sometime :)

thanks for doing this ive always had the flying bug and i now want to learn!!!!

Cool, you flew right over Gold Canyon RV resort, I can see my motorhome!

beautiful flight!

Awesome video.

Wow! That one almost took my breath away.

Appreciate this upload, my son Sherman lives in albuquerque! I sent this video to him, n had him notice the MOUNTAIN range just b4 the city..we FLY down, n the cops just keep eating their doughnuts n coffee! ;)

Love your vids....I have my powered parachute cert. But sold my chute it a bit ago for health reasons. Love watching your vids sir

Also, would love for you to show off the TCAS and what those other aircraft icons are telling you... THANKS!

I can't claim to understand much of this stuff, but it is very impressive to watch someone operate and navigate a highly complex machine through a nightmare of jargon, numbers, potentially lethal landmarks and other aircraft in such a calm and disciplined way. Please don't give me any analogies about Swans on water, it would spoil the illusion. I came across you by random chance and I think I have now watched every single video you have. It really is quite engrossing. Happy flying. :)

Love the videos :)

Another great video, Wow.. Thanks!!

Sweet flight. Very busy ATC near Scottsdale. Thank god for TCAS, eh?

Now that is service, you taxi up to your tie down and the rental car pulls right up for your passengers... very nice. Scottsdale is a very busy airport along with Falcon Field in Mesa. Enjoy your flights as always.

Good action Greg.TCAS is sure handy.Relied on that a lot during first Gulf conflict.Kept us out of trouble.Keep up the good flying.Thanks Keith.

"That was sporty" What an understatement... LOL... Greg, you ARE a true professional and have ice-water running through your veins at all times! Planes in literally ALL directions around you... Did I also hear a Bonanza returning to Scottsdale due to an open door lined up behind you? All you needed was a couple of thunderstorms in the mix to make it TRULY 'sporty' eh?

hope all is well PD1 God bless and happy flying.
