I spend 4 months every year in Naples since 2003... You might want to look at the one of the most beautiful beaches, people watch, go for a walk, enjoy one of the many excellent restaurants, etc. If you are bored in Naples, good luck with the rest of the country. I won't give you my impressions of St. Louis, but a weekend was more than enough many years ago.

Thank you Captain for sharing your videos! Have a happy New Year!.

Happy New Year Captain. I love living your life thanks for sharing with us.

Good to see a video like this one every now and again. It shows people it’s not always fun and games while on the road. Sometimes it’s just plane, get it, plane, boring. You said you were going shopping, what did you buy me??? A Happy New Years to you and your family.

Thanks for knocking my home area of Naples and Marco Island! I have offered several times to take you to lunch and if I'd known I would have shown you why they call this Paradise! Done and out!

Dear Jim, a lovely video as always (well done). Thank you for showing the food you are eating - a bit of commentary when the food tastes good is also most welcome 😋. I especially enjoyed the spider's web shot at 14:55, the King Air capture at 16:35 as well as the shot when you were crossing in front of the aircraft at 19:12, all great stuff Jimbo! You're getting better and better. 👌 Wishing you and your family a Happy New Year and every blessing for 2018!

Wishing you and your family a Very Happy New Year…..Looking forward to new video’s in 2018…Keep up teh great work.

I like how Citation XLS is embossed on the yoke so you'll never forget what you're flying. One of many reasons Cessna is awesome

Enjoyed the video. I can imagine it must be hard to pass the time if you stay in one location too long but it goes with the territory. I love the smooth landings that you and Mike make as I am sure your passengers do likewise! Have A Happy New Year! We will pick up where you left off in 2018! C ya!!

Nice shot at the end of the video. What a Beautiful Bird😊👍🏿

Ha! I put your video up on the big screen in the family room this morning Jim and I had to laugh the whole final approach into St Louis because Captain Nose was filling the right side of the big screen.🤣 Happy New Year to you & yous!

I enjoy your videos. I am retired corporate pilot myself mostly in Citations.Your videos bring back a lot of old memory's. Almost all of my time in the airplane, like yourself, was single pilot which included 501's, 550's, S550's and 560's. One airplane that I have seen you fly, N15JH, I flew for 5 years for a local oil company back in the 80's. It was N211DB in those days. Anyway, thanks for the videos.

Hey Jim! Another amazing video! Wishing you a Happy New Years! Looking forward to your 2018 releases... All the best!

Got to love that. Walk out of a hotel in a town called Naples and jog straight into a scene from a Rousseau painting (minus tiger). And a red snapper sandwich too. America the exotic! Great vid. cheers.

I visited Fish on Fire on 5 Dec while visiting Cessna Center (MCO). Had the snapper, spicy and good. Great video as usual. Stay safe!!

Sir, thank you for the videos. I have been watching and enjoying them. Yesterday I lost a brother in blue with my department. Watching your videos has given me that little escape I needed over the last 30 or so hours. Like you said keep the brown side down and the blue side up and stay safe.

Really enjoying your videos. Used to work on Navy jets (A-6 and F-4 and aircraft carriers) as an Aviation Ordnance Chief Petty Officer (22 years). So I am very interested in aviation videos. You post some well made and very interesting ones for sure. I do fly on XP11 for fun and try to learn what I can about flight and navigation just for my enjoyment so I find your videos great to bounce off of. Just subscribed so looking forward to watching some more. Thanks again for the postings. Well appreciated.

I think it comes from not wanting to spend much money and repeatedly going to the same places.

Enjoyable video again Jim - I do love that Citation. Impressive baggage area. Gorgeous once you got thru that initial cloud base. I can think of worse things than being 'stuck' in Naples for a few days, although seemingly not a whole lot to do.! That walk was pretty. Glad you avoided the snow - 3" here in PA! All very best for 2018.
