Watching your videos gives me goose bumps and actually makes me cry at times because I've had a fear of flying my entire life. I do fly but not often and when I do I have anxiety for a week before leaving and have to take anti-anxiety medication on the flight. It has really limited my ability to see more of the world, which is sad. Seeing you fly with such a calm demeanor seems so courageous and brave to me and I'm sure it must be such an amazing passion. I love your videos.

And I’m the opposite, I absolutely love flying. My uncle is a pilot, and so is one of my exes, so I’ve gotten to do flight simulations in their training center, which feels so realistic!! I fly often and whenever I’m not in a plane, I miss it. I love the initial ascent into the sky, feels like a rollercoaster to me. I love the turbulence, the bumpier the better! It helps knowing the turbulence is not dangerous to the plane, as long as you are buckled in your seat, you’ll be safe. I’m sorry for people who have anxiety flying, I have a similar anxiety when it comes to choppy waters. I hate being in a small boat in the middle of the ocean, that’s my biggest fear.

As an ex pilot I really appreciate your demeanor. Being prepared and remaining calm are keys to being a good pilot. Love your videos.

I learned a tremendous amount during those flight hours for sure. Made me a better controller and a better instructor to the young folks coming up. I always wanted to fly myself, but other than a few private pilot hours, life seemed to always get in the damn way! 58 Now, but a man can dream!

Wow!! You were tossed around up there!! If I were a passenger I'd be freaking out!! Very very nice. Please keep coming out with more vlogs!!

Great video! Excellent example of the workload for a single pilot in more challenging landing conditions in very busy airspace. The thought of a single pilot commercial flight is insane to me. Great work, Max.

Good flight ✈️ Have experienced really worse turbulence on big jets . So nice to watch pilots maintaining their cool at all times . Also tells me that there’s constant communications between pilots and towers all through out the flight . Pilots are one of my greatest idols .

Hi Max. When I flew for NetJets, I was based in BDL which was great as I live in CT. That said, I would always begin my week begging the scheduler to send me west. It was so much better flying out west versus what we called the ‘Northeast Shuffle’. Out west, it was fewer flights, longer legs, and new, cool things to see. Now, I miss it all though, and I would very much enjoy a day with a modern jet doing the ‘Northeast Shuffle’. Something like IAD > ACK > BOS > TEB (pick up my Rudy’s chix burrito from the fridge), and end the day with a flight to CYYG.
