I completely agree with your sentiment about being able to see the world from such a cool, different view because of aviation! Every time I take a regular, commercial flight somewhere, I always get a window seat and look outside with such a sense of wonder, like a little kid, especially on takeoff and landing, even after flying many many times. It’s so amazing! I’m always curious how the other people don’t seem to care and get on their phones right away. Thanks for taking us along with you Stevie!

Hopefully it will give some transparency on the topic since I feel like there’s not a lot of info out there. Typically smaller airplanes themselves aren’t more than cars (my 140A was $33k) but maintenance is where you get hit in the wallet 😅

@@bayflight Say what now? $33k for a 60- or 70- year old car? Yah maybe for a a "veteran" 🥴 (I think they stopped making the 140 in the 60s) but even so, for that much you should get a "classic" in top condition and low, low mileage. A rattly, noisy, underpowered, _tiny_ aluminium box? Maybe a third of that price!
hi stevie, i’m 17 and a female student pilot and you are my biggest inspiration. i love watching your videos💗 i just ordered a hoodie too💕
The traffic real radio talk is your trademark, Stevie. It is such a pleasure to see a pilot so concerned and focused about safety and also be pationable about people, to see America from a different view and the love of flying. I really hope you get loads of opportunities to keep you vids flowing. 🌻🌼🌷🌺🌹
I was a T-37 instructor at Williams AFB 1972 to 1975. Been to Albuquerque many times at FL210. Saw a NASA F-104 do a Immelmann turn there out of traffic over 50 years ago. I love the fact of young women like you embracing aviation. You are doing a great job keep it up from an old pilot. It takes a lot of grit to go to Oshkosh solo in a Cessna 140. You go girl.
I always LOVE how you leave in your checklist rundown in all your videos. I love how it shows that no matter how many hours you have as a pilot, it's ALWAYS important to do your checklist and it helps remind student pilots like me, how important it is to never get complacent. And I agree with everyone else that leaving your communications in the videos is so helpful! I enjoy the videos very much! Happy and safe flying! Blessings! ❤😊

Thank you! I always try to leave at least some or all of at least the first checklist run in. If I do cut it out, I always put in text to indicate that I'm doing the runup. I was taught from day one to never forgo a checklist, and talking through it helps keep me accountable! I'm always talking to myself while I'm flying, it really helps me stay ahead of the airplane. Noted on the communications as well! I'll try to insert some other radio communications down the line too! Safe flying to you as well! Thank you for watching and for the kind & helpful words!

That 140A is impeccable. It must be a blast to fly even if it is a bit slow, but that is the fun part, to be able to see the landscape pass by. Great job Stevie!

Thank you so much!! Flying the 140 is so relaxing. Neal Aviation and ArtCraft did such a fantastic job on the restoration
Always fun to watch "where in the world is Stevie".
23:14 Flying indeed has a deep philosophical/existential side to it that can overwhelm you. Especially when you're caught off guard by some breathtaking clouds or scenery. The sheer beauty can be very emotional.
Stevie , You’re such a cool kid. I love that I can go along with you on these trips. I always wanted to learn to fly and even took a few lessons but then 6 daughters came along and that was the end of that! Love every one of them and wouldn’t change a thing but I hope you realize what these videos mean to so many. Cheers, Kevin
Flying looks like fun, but the complicated aspect to me is all the radio chatter. So much to understand and loaded with jargon. Beautiful flight on many levels, smart flight in avoiding the weather. Steve's little upgrade to this classic aircraft is amazing. Looking forward to the unpredictable Part 3

Great video and scenery , as a retired ships captain and marine pilot it's very interesting to see how you navigate and communicate, thank you . Enjoy yr flying
I find the radio traffic relaxing. I picked up that trait while in the service. One aspect of my "job" involved being on a radio net for extended periods of time. Some guys got bored with it. I was one of the goofy guys that relished it. Thank you for sharing this as a part of your flight time. It keeps the flight relevant and interesting

What an exhilarating title! A scenic flight through Arizona and New Mexico sounds like a remarkable journey, especially in a tiny airplane. These states are known for their breathtaking landscapes, from the vast deserts to the stunning rock formations. Imagine flying over the Grand Canyon in Arizona or the White Sands National Park in New Mexico - the views must be absolutely awe-inspiring from above! Every day of such an adventure would bring new wonders. Keep embracing these big adventures in tiny airplanes! 🌄✈🏜
Your paint and interior design choices were spot on, Stevie. The 140 looks amazing!
Another great flight Stevie! Thanks for taking us along. I work in aviation and it gets monotonous and frustrating. Watching your videos of your flights brings back the joy and excitement of flying. Thanks!

Love it. One thing I would add (if it doesn't involve much extra editing) an occasional avation map showing your location. Makes a nice reference to smaller airports. I've lived in AZ for 40 years and really had no idea of St. John's.
This leg brought back fond memories of flying around the desert southwest from Embry-Riddle in Prescott, AZ. General aviation has a special place in my heart so it's a pleasure to see proficient young pilots serving as role models and sharing the love. Well done.
Very Smooth first Landing Stevie. Thanks for sharing the Beauty of Flying with us. The views are amazing from the 140 indeed. 😊❤️👍 PD The Background Music is Fantastic! 🎶
You must be what freedom feels like! ❤
Started following your channel when I noticed you were flying into San Carlos, CA. That's just up the road from where we live in Menlo Park. My dad was an aircraft mechanic during WW2 and eventually worked for United Airlines at SFO. He commented it was a thrill when he taxied the planes that were being serviced. He also said a female pilot made the nicest landing of one of the planes he prepped before it was shipped overseas. Glad to see you have been successful on KZread and have gotten some sponsors. Looking forward to more of your adventures.
Every time I read a comment about your pre-flight check-list I nod my head in agreement. I can sight several NTSB reports wherein it was overlooked.
You're an amazing pilot. Such smooth takeoffs and landings. You nail the landing with very little bounce.
I am from Catalina Island and certainly appreciate your choice of hats today....:)
I want to fly to Catalina with Stevie. :)
You lost some weight and looking trim. Good for you. I really like that vintage plane. Not the fastest bird but she is still fun.
Albuquerque is one of my favorite places on Earth. The diversity of the land and people is astounding, along with the immense history of the area brings a sense of overwhelming grandeur.
Beautiful C140 in its new look. I love tailwheel aircrafts, I did most of my flying in these taiwheel aircrafts. Looking forward to the other legs of this trip😊
I truly enjoy flying along with you on your adventures. You are such a good pilot. Very thorough and meticulous.
Hi Stevie thanks for sharing another awesome video, what a wonderful way to spend a day and the bonus we get to come along with you 😀. There's some beautiful scenery below you, thanks again for sharing with us take care and stay safe 👍 😊

Great job! Thank you for sharing.
I've enjoyed flying with you since I first discovered you. Precise, excellent communication skills and smooth flying. I have a love for V-tailed Bonanzas, with many hours in a V-35B. I think it is very cool that you bought and updated your Bo very respectfully to the vintage appearance, but much safer mods. That said, you did pretty much the same with the 140. A Cessna was my first airplane, 50 years ago. As nice as your Bonanza is, the 140 fits you like a glove. Excellent job sticking the landing at Show Low! Nose up in the turns...🛩
Flying makes long distance travel easy and the views are spectacular, fun watching you stevie✌️❤️🇬🇧
I finished my ppl last year in Germany and while it wasnt cheap, I just always love being up there enjoying the world from above. Owning a plane is cost prohibitive for me but in a flying Club its possible. I have one at my City so its just 3 miles by cycle to go flying. I enjoy your channel. Many appreciation from Germany
Thank you for sharing the videos of your trip across the country young lady. I really enjoyed the scenery.
Nice video. I love the terrain in that area, and flying slow over it isn't a bad thing. Good day. Thanks!
Hi Stevie, thanks for the videos; I used to fly private decades ago - career change to self-employed meant that had to go - it's a joy to watch you working. You're polite and good with everyone and that's a great way to be and makes the whole thing even more enjoyable. 9477A is beautiful - oh and beautiful 3-pointers 😁 Safe flying.

Love this video! I did my private and instrument training out of FFZ in the late 1980’s. Your beautiful camera work and editing brought back such memories, such as taking the northbound route over the Salt River and past Red Mountain. We always tried to fly early in the morning during summer because the thermals and storms made it unpleasant as the day wore on.
Sure is fun flying with you across America! You are a great pilot and I enjoy hearing you talk yourself through your PreFlight inspection and how you communicate with us the views that aren't lucky enough to have been able to follow through with the dream of becoming a pilot. Proud to be a subscriber of your channel. That plane sure has taken on a great transformation also glad to see you enjoying your hard work! Keep rocking the sky.
