I really love your videos, especially how you switch between the Caravan and the Citation with the greatest of ease. I have about 750 hours, mostly in Piper Archer and Arrow. My wings were clipped by a heart transplant. I love how you share all the details, even operating the tow wagon and repositioning planes so you give up your ride home. Prayers for safety, good weather and the best of health. Thanks for sharing your life.

Nice to see you back. Missed you during the lasy four months.

Captain Moonbeam thank you for bringing back some great memories of my instructor an older lady back in the 70’s telling me get you butt in the plane and go towards the rain practice turns around a point and work your way back as rain approaches and land. First time rain caught me on final. It was scary at first, but prop keep windshield clean and landed. Rain stopped. Being 16 no one believed me. My cockpit was nothing like yours. Awesome

2:50 - It's cool that the overhead fan blade tips are painted yellow like an aircraft propeller.

You have a great touch on landing. I remember 1 of my instructors years ago looked at me when we rolled to a stop and said “you can count this landing 1 full stop and 2 touch and goes”! He went on to spend his career with Delta. Great guy.
