- An epic adventure coming to its end with a punch!!! After Eagle Colorado we stopped in Pueblo for fuel, then spent the night in buzzing Austin, TX and the next day Destin for lunch before returning to Boca in the early evening.
The 3,700 nautical mile adventure was one to remember for us and I do hope you can enjoy the last part of the trilogy.
Enjoy!

Another great flight I’ve got to take these through the eyes of your camera and out the windows of your Cirrus.

Thank you Nikko for another great video
So awesome to join you on this trip!! :) Thank you for sharing.. The scenery is breathtaking.. Continue your safe travels! :)
Such a beautiful aircraft and Niko thanks for sharing your vacation with your wonderful family with us. Your a seriously talented pilot which I am sure you have been told over and over...PS: so much incredible video.
Super video Niko. They just get better all of the time. Great family too. Loved the blue eyes comment. He was pretty close. Thanks for the vacation lol. Fly safe!
"Looks like he's got uuh, blue eyes". Lol!! Another great video! Since I can't afford a Cirrus SR22, I have to live vicariously through you, Nikko. Thanks for the the videos!
Great video Niko! Thanks for taking us along. Looks like you and the family enjoyed a great and well deserved vacation. :-)
"Looks like he's got blue eyes" made me laugh out loud haha. I'm gonna have to use that one next time I'm flying.
Great video! Love watching these! Very relaxing and it feels like your right there in the plane!
Outstanding flight and videography. Your regular viewers,myself included appreciate you so much and your beautiful family. God bless my friend.
Great Video Niko. Always an Adventure flying with you.
Hi Niko. this is one of my favorite flights. Thanks for sharing. It helps to make my cv19 home stay much more enjoyable. PS. I looked carefully. You are right, the F22 pilot had blue eyes. Incredible.
Awesome as always Sir. Glad you and your family had a wonderful and safe trip.
What a great trip, Niko! Thanks for sharing! 👍👍
Nikooooo... glad your back love your videos! Haha love the “ blue eyes” with ATC! You ROCK brother! 😂👍🏼
Niko, really enjoying your videos...you're inspiring me to get back behind the yolk. The Cirrus looks very comfortable for you and the fam. Look forward to more! Best!
Thanks for letting us tag along Niko! awesome video and your choice of music was supurb. The selection for the first leg was sobering, great choice.
Nice video again , what with ice , oxygen and the views and as always that smooth landing .
Enjoyed watching this very much. Nice Airplane!!
Great video series Niko! Missed you at OSH. I really enjoyed watching the plane handle the different weather conditions! Blue skies!
Very cool video Kiko as always! If a person doesn't know all that much about Aviation you really don't know about the thought process of making a flight plan, totally unbelievable the things that you have to think about thank you very much Ford letting all of us experience the journey cool stuff
The clouds look like cotton candy! Love the wing camera shots! Thank You for taking us along.
Some of my favorite shots were the wing shots on this video... just incredible lighting and scenery...
That plane is a beauty! And great music by the way.
What a gorgeous machine. Love your videos and you have a beautiful family !!!
Awesome video Niko. Thanks for sharing your adventures!
What a journey. Nice editing and what a great soundtrack.
Loved this! You had just enough 02 so be sure and get more refills or canisters (or whatever it comes in)! Icing scares me to death so I was so glad to see y’all get out of that. Looking forward to more family travels! Safe skies!
Wow Niko, what a great video ! The music and photography was excellent and so tasteful. I’ve been flying for a long time, but parts of this video just put me in a happy “zen” state lol! Beautiful family and thank your wife for the great shots she captured. Safe skies ! 🇺🇸🛫
Thx Randy
Again the consummate professional in the cockpit. Your assessment of fuel loading was spot on. Just found your site a week ago and am already burning through your videos.
That's how to call a vacation! Great stuff, very relaxing to watch and nice scenery at the beginning! You have our sub!
Welcome aboard
@@NikosWings Thanks!
Fabulous video and what a great adventure you had !
Always a pleasure flying with Niko. Wish I lived in the USA. So much to see and explore.
Great vlog Paisano, really brought me back to my days living and working at KEGE... Thnx...
Thanks for letting us tag along on this trip! The Destin beaches looked as white as the top of the Rockies.
Hey Niko, I missed your usual “clear prop” with open door. Love the rest of your vlog.
Belissimo! Taking your family on vacation in your very own "flying carpet". Priceless! Passed near my home drone KCXO (Conroe Texas) when you were identified as a F22... :)
Fantastic video! Love your channel and continued safe flights.
Thumbs-up Niko! Nice family flight! Thanks for sharing. Don. :-)
Very nice airport at Destin; hope to fly there soon. Great video of a long trip. Thanks for sharing. CAVU! 😎👍
Just beautiful, those shots above the mountains...
Beautiful views flying above the mountains and through clouds. I thought it would be turbulent but it didn’t seem to be as much. These are flying goals for me. Love your vids!
It was very smooth that morning
This was relaxing to watch, Thank You.
Fantastic video Nikko, loved it. Great trip
Thanks for taking us along, very cool video
Greece is everywhere...THANK YOU Νικόλαε.
Great video, Niko! I would love to stop in Pueblo someday, the FBO there looks amazing. Thanks for sharing this incredible family adventure!
Check out the aviation museum next door too
Love your videos Niko. Must take a lot of your time editing etc. Great channel!You come across as a very humble guy with a lovely family. Keep up the good work buddy 👍🏻
It’s work of love so the endless hours don’t matter at the end. Thx for the kind words!
Beautiful flight and beautiful family. All the best to you guys.
Love the plane and you make it look so easy....the sign of a real pro....
Thanks Nico...great video. Good to see the de-icing working in this....
Niko, great video! So enjoyable to see a great pilot in an awesome airplane, with some very precious cargo! You make it all look so easy, but your experience is the reason why. Glad you guys enjoyed Austin and hope got to see 6th Street. BTW one day I would love to own a Cirrus!
Thanks for the adventure Niko, it was relaxing, it showed me a side of life that I cannot attain to, it was delightful living an adventure through your lens. Keep em coming and I'll keep watching, commenting and thumbs upping! :)
If I can do it anyone can. Trust me on that... thanks for watching
@@NikosWings Thanks for your encouraging words Niko! :)
Thanks for another great video! Love the family! :)
What a wonderful flight! Glad to see you stopped in my home town of Pueblo Colorado! Flower Aviation is a great FOB
One of the best
Great video series :). Was a pleasure getting to meet you in Oshkosh. Best of luck in your future flying adventures!!!
Sane here
Enjoyed this mini series so thank you for sharing and the quality of your vlogs gives me something to aim for. You are not just making Vlogs you are making memories for your family. Good to see somebody who is passionate about general aviation and the Cirrus SR22 is a dream of an aircraft although I get the feeling that you would be happy flying a Cessna 152 so long as you are flying. A family man as well, I guess life can't get much better.
You are right, the vlogs are my own memories and expression of how it felt to be there but also sharing the beauty of the flying adventures. I will fly any airplane and any mission you are right about that but the SR22T makes it soooo much easier...
Wonderful video! Great photography and narration! Jus the right amount of narration. Loved the music also.
Even though never got my private pilot license was able to follow all the technical and tower communication which definetly made it more interesting.
A few more pictures of passengers might be entertaining.
Decided to subscribe.
Wonderful !
Welcome 🙏
Amazing footage sir and beautiful family thank you for sharing. Beautiful Plane
By the way we live only about an hour from Austin in the Hill country so happy y’all enjoyed the great state of Texas
i live here in Austin. Always enjoy your videos, and glad you enjoyed our hospitality!
You are lucky, probably the best City in one of the best States
Awesome video Niko. makes me really want to get my pilot licence now. love watching your videos
I have no idea how I just discovered your channel. Been watching aviation vids for a while and your channel, for me, is at the top. Incredible pilot, beautiful plane! Holy hell! How has CZcams kept this goldmine a secret! Safe travels brother!
I’ll complain to the management, lol
Pilots or aspiring pilots can learn a great deal from the way you prepare, fly, and account for everything. Bravo sir Niko !!
Gu
Yes! Agree 100%
Love your Videos Niko! Thank You for the good entertainment!
Not just entertaining of course but real world decisions etc. the way u put it together is awesome!
Glad you all enjoyed Austin. Y'all come back to visit anytime. Great video!
Absolutely love it there
4,000 miles... wow! I'm really enjoying this one (he said again)... Mountain flying is a treat but it has to be respected (which you clearly did). I was impressed with the Austin FBO (my home state). They labeled their briefing room sign with text for the instrument rated pilots too :o) The Pueblo FBO was outstanding! "Traffic is an F22" you don't hear that every day. Loved the "he's got blue eyes" comment lol
Yes right? The F22 he was referring to was us, lol
Michael Lloyd, Ha!
Awesome video’s Niko!
Thanks for sharing👍
Was great to meet you on the FLL boat show today🤗
Safe travels
Same here, thanks for saying hello and I hope you enjoyed the boat show
GREAT flight with a GREAT family!
It's worth watching this channel just to find out where all the badass FBOs are...lol Another gret vid. The shots your wife gets from the right seat really add a nice touch.
Great video. I would love to travel like this with my family.
Niko, great video ! As usual, the quality of your videos shines through ! Also, I know you expect it, but this flight also highlights the dependability of your Cirrus aircraft. 4000 miles, not a hiccup ! Also, it looks like that "blue-eyed" pilot had a great day too : ) Thanks for sharing your vacation with us. Beautiful FBO's, beautiful music too.
Thanks Karim
Great video. Thanks for sharing your vacation flying
Fun trip, beautiful family!
Awesome you made it to my state of Colorado Niko!!
I laughed hard at the “looks like he’s got blue eyes”
Very Nice job. Turbo was a great choice.
Great flight. Nikon best of all you have family with you.
Thanks again Niko for the videos. Was actually in VR flying the F-18 in DCS when the bell notification came up. Forgot to shutdown the web browser lol.
I have to try DCS
Awesome footage at the start, loved the scenery, and they have a Concorde engine at Austin?? WOW.. This would have been great in 360, but guess requires a lot of editing, however, really enjoyed this one Niko, Thank you for sharing.
Excellent video Niko!
Great video Niko ! 👍👍👍👍
Ok, Niko. Few points. Wonderful video. Here’s why. You come across as a real human being. Your video production quality is great with its balance of music and scenery and Atc talk. The length is wonderful. You don’t seem pretentious and you are badass with your knowledge and experience. You have a great plane and to fly to Vail Colorado for a family vacation is top level cool. (I’m praising you as a 51 year old man.) Your brief shots of your family are nice, but you understand that the videos are about aviation first and that’s what you focus on. You don’t step in the way of entertaining your aviation audience. You respect what you do with a level of professionalism that also is relatable to simple viewers like myself. I loved that I saw on Foreflight my home airport KHUM. So what did I do on this Sunday morning to relax? I watched your lovely video and it did not disappoint.
Thank you for the kind words. You are right I try to step out of the way and just add the basic aviation talk without boring myself and you with cheap talk. Thanks for watching
Really Nice family and nice trip Niko!
Waoooooooohhhhhhhhhh , you ave a very plane and you are the Perfect pilot
Looks like he's got blue eyes. LMAO!
Good catch for Niko!! ed
Yeah, that was a good one!
what does it mean
Aras Celik The plane was so close that Niko could spot the eye color of the pilot.
Great video. I have family outside of Denver and my goal is to fly out there when I can finally get a Cirrus. So seeing the mountain performance was awesome. The music choices were spot on.
Make sure you get a turbo
That’s the goal. Year 4-5 of my 5 year plan.
Another inspiring video ! Very well done. Living in Vienna, Austria, it is really interesting to see what distances you are flying in the US. In Europe, we do have a lot of different airspaces from country to country. That makes it sometimes tricky with the flight plan.
Hey Niko. Love the new plane. Great color. Just got endorsed in the DA 40. Would like to transition to a cirrus one day. Seems like a fun plane to fly. Thanks for the video.
Such a beautiful family!!! ❤❤❤
nice video i love your plane niko's wings well done keep up the good well done a+
Awesome video and that 2SZ is taking you places...
Love this vlog. Great narrative and coolest plane. Well jell (UK slang) as a former ppl
Thank you for sharing another easy watch 👍
I personally would like to see the runups every time before you take off.. that plane is badass!
