Cherish a woman that will fly with you. My wife of 41 years passed away at the end of October. She wasn't a rated pilot but loved to fly and travel, was a meticulous pre-flighter ("If I'm going to fly in this thing, I want to be right!"), and was a great copilot. Live the dream...

So sorry for your loss Larry. I too lost my wife of 41 years at the end of July. I’m not a pilot but I’ve been an aviation buff all my life and have flown with several private pilot friends. I have way more time as a passenger in helicopters with a former employer. My wife wasn’t really interested in aviation but would willingly go to air shows because I was. She even planned a weekend getaway once that included an airshow. Sounds like you had one of the best. Hope you are able to continue your flying. I’m sure your copilot will still be there watching over you. May God Bless!

All CFI's tell their student that during their lessons. Mine certainly did.

As a pilot for 61 years and a Flight Instructor since December, 1966, I still tilt my head skyward to see what's flying over. No longer medically qualified, so I view many aviation videos to satisfy my taste for the sky. 8,500 hours of safe flying in helicopters and airplanes and the earth by air is beautiful and priceless. I remember the first time I saw a USAF KB-50 refueling a B-36! Aviation has come a verrrrry long way!

Fantastic video!!! Thank you for all you do for the aviation community. I’ve been following your channel for a few years now and you have never disappointed. In fact, you were instrumental in getting me back in the air after a 13 year hiatus. Now you’re inspiring me to take longer trips. I’m based in the southeast and have added Sedona and the rest of the southwest to my bucket list. You and Chelsea make a great team. Watching how you two interact with each other as you explore everything aviation has to offer is truly heartwarming. Keep up the great work and once again, Thank You!!!

I appreciate that you’re not afraid to show your mistakes (“Sedona Traffic” at Kingman). We’re all only human.

Sedona will always be special to me, since 1994 I have yearned to return every year, though it’s been three years since I last visited it’s still on my bucket list repeats! Thank you both for a great video via my first love; aviation, and your pleasurable narration!!

Perfectly said Josh, With your plane you have the skies, but with Chelsea....The Heavens.

Really enjoy your professional interaction. Keep up the great work. You two have many more years of adventures together!!! Blessings for safe flights ahead!!!!

Incredible scenery. Your choice of music is perfect. Blends in so well with the type of flight. You two are so great together. Enjoy your life together to the fullest. Y'all are so blessed.

Hang on to a Lady like that Josh it don't get better than that! I lost my special lady of 24 yrs in 2021 due to covid , not a day goes by that I don't miss her! 😃

Thank you for leaving the couple bits it made the whole clip more fun to watch, besides it highlights what aviation is all about - human experience. Great flighting for you both!

As always, thanks for sharing, Josh. You are a masterful aviation video storyteller. Sedona / Canyon Country never gets old.

Love aviation (obviously) but it's even better to see such a happy couple doing it together! Very heart warming.

Thoroughly enjoyed the views of flying over Sedona and the playfulness in your and Chelsea’s connection. You are both expanders of possibilities for me…as once upon a time I had wanted to get my pilots license. Appreciating your shared joy of life and flight. Reading these comments, and watching your video helped me to see how much more joy is still available. Thank you for the bird’s eye view. 🤗🛩

Thanks for taking us along for the flight! Great to watch!

Thanks so much for the beautiful scenery and tour of Sedona! Great video btw.

Looks like you two are living the dream! Take care of each other. I don’t think I ever seen a more beautiful couple. Fair Skies and Happy Landings!

The chemistry between these two is captivating. The way she looks at him! Lucky guy, happy couple and an excellent team.

So Beautiful!!! Thanks for taking us along!

I forgot the adventure and fun of flying when I got my license 30 years ago. Think it's time to dust off that dream and you two show how it can be an awesome thing for couples. Thanks for the memories revived!

Mesa Grill is one of my favorite restaurants in Sedona. Hope you guys had a good time there. So many things to see in Sedona if you have the time and enjoy hiking. Nothing like being in the mountains and rock structures. You get a completely different perspective and feeling when you are actually in them rather than looking from the road or air. Sedona is a very special place. Wish I was a pilot and able to travel and see the world as you do from the skies. Must be amazing. Stay safe and happy travels!

Really makes me miss flying with my dad around Arizona some of the most beautiful land to fly over we flew to everywhere you possibly could in Arizona and my mother actually went with him a lot more than I even did Great memories It's really great to see it again even though it's on TV screen it's funny how you're up there when you're flying and everything seems kind of slow motion as you're watching the scenery go by and Sedona From the sky nothing beats it Happy flying To the both of you Thanks for sparking some great memories

Sedona and Catalina are my top 2 airports. Love flying there. Mesa Grill is amazing too. Pulled pork sandwich with Sidewinder fries is my go to. Great video!

OMG. The way she looks at you. I’d probably give anything to have that in my life right now. Aaaannd she’s absolutely stunning!

Great video guys. I just found your channel because I was watching a series of vids on the Rebuild Rescue channel and I happened to see your video on flying to Sedona. I went to Sedona back in the 80s the first time and fell in love with it so I've lived there off and on since 2000, but I've never seen it from the air so this was a real treat. Thanks for an awesome channel and a really fun time.

Many of us who remember a pre-internet world are big fans. Not only of the flying info, but of the amazing lifestyle you have worked so hard to create and share with us. Long ago, making a living doing what your doing was the stuff of science fiction dreams. Well done. I live in Central Texas and listen a lot to local traffic. I can recall hearing you many years ago in the pattern at San Marcos, and noting how hard you were trying to get things just perfect (yes, old pilots have that skill). You are the ideal example of practice makes perfect.

As always, a top shelf production.

This video made me feel good, good job from both of you. Enjoy your flights, projects and each other.

Beautiful scenery! Beautiful flight! Thank you for sharing!

I can’t say I really enjoyed my GA flying days. I went to an accelerated part 141 flight school and went from 0 hrs to CFII in about a year. The fire hose treatment. It did the job but all my memories were cramming for check rides, students trying to kill me and lack of sleep. Didn’t have time to sit back and enjoy it. Instructed through about 2k hours through the 2009 recession until the airlines started hiring again, was excited to get out and never really looked back. I did maybe 2 leisure GA flights in that 2.5 year period. One being DVT-SEZ maybe 15 years ago and I still remember how scenic it was, probably one of the only GA flights I can still remember in detail. Point is the production level of a vid like this makes it almost seem enjoyable. Maybe down the road I’ll get into it as a hobby! I’ve always wanted to get my seaplane rating. Keep making these cool vids!

Flying into Sedona NEVER gets old!! And Chelsea....What a Peach! You done good Bro! 👍

What a beautiful country we live in , without you some of us would never get to see it! Thanks for what you do!!

Love your videos . Keep them coming and fly safe .

What a great ride!! Thank you very much for sharing it with us. I glance off to the side frequently flying from Telluride to Phoenix. We definitely need to divert over there some day! Very beautiful!!

In your early days on KZread, I reached out to you on FB messenger to go up with you on one of your flights. We had it planned, I was going to pay half of the fuel cost. The day before, the plane that you wanted to fly was unavailable so you canceled. I was lazy and didn't follow up for doing another flight. I check in on your channel from time to time and it's nice to see you doing so well. I regret not doing that flight with you. I've got a 14yo son who wants to be a pilot so when he turns 15 in Oct we are going to start flight training together. Can't wait!

Liked the video before watching!! Thank you Josh for your inspiration to me :) . Also your editing levels are top league!

Thank you for the inspirational content Josh. Im a fan of the channel. The videos have been super essential for my private 3 years ago and instrument ratings. Im now type rated in the Vision Jet so this video was especially encouraging. Thank you again. Have a powerul productive week…

I live in Tucson and would love to get some training on how to properly lean for take off, as well as the relatively new to me "lean of peak" method for cruise. Any recommendations? A few months ago, I took a CFII friend up for a flight, and much to my surprise, he pushed my mixture control to full rich on take off! It was 90 degrees that day. I always lean just slight when it's really hot. Is that good or not? We had a good discussing about it afterwords. Personally, I don't like ANYONE touching the power controls on take off.

Awesome video! Beautiful views! Thanks for sharing! Have a wonderful day!

Really appreciate the aerial views of the Sedona landmarks I've come to know and love. Discovered the southwest through a visit to Sedona in 2013, knew immediately that I must have been a southwesterner in a past life. Came back a bunch of times and discovered Prescott to Sedona's west, and the Embry Riddle Aeronautical University, which my youngest son then attended -- ended up not being a pilot but an aerospace engineer, now working for Lockheed Space Systems since 2018. We moved from NY State to Prescott in 2017, love being only short drive from Sedona instead of a 2500 mile flight. Have always wanted to take an aerial tour but loved your video -- Airport Mesa, Capitol Butte, Chimney Rock, the Courthouse, Cathedral Rock, Bell Rock, Ship Rock and all the others so beautifully laid out below. Gotta take an air tour. Or maybe it's not to late to go back and finish getting a license myself after starting and running out of money back in my 20s in the 1970s.... Thanks!
