    Justin, as a retired ATC guy I can tell you that, even though they don’t tell you, those controllers really appreciate your professionalism and preparedness. It makes everyone’s job much easier. And this was another great video.

    Flying an IFR plan at altitude is just a series of handoffs from ground to departure to Centers along the way to approach control to tower to ground. As long as you don’t have any problems, it’s no problem. Just stay ahead of the airplane. As a former USAF multi-engine pilot, I d like to recognize your excellent coordination and “living by the checklist”. Good job and many years of success ahead to both of you.

    Watched this with my wife, she said, “well of course they got a perfect KAXX landing day”. We full time out of Angel Fire, and a 13 knot crosswind is wonderful because it is so rare. I practiced dozens of crosswind landings in my Saratoga before I moved it full time to Angel Fire. I would say the average crosswind is typically 16G20. I am comfortable enough with crosswind landings there that 20G25 isn’t too extraordinary. Just got to plan for it and be ready to go around. Glad you guys had a nice, smooth day coming in.

    Love the KA-200! I work for a Beechcraft dealership for 14+yrs and been through many, many 200's the biggest event I went through at Beech was way back there was an AD to change the fwd outbd wing spar and it only gave a few flight hrs to remove them, we had so many 200's stacked on our ramp, that was a tough job, I'll bet we did 35 to 40 KA's I've turned wrenches for 35+ yrs and I'd say 30 of those on Beechcraft! Great, great aircraft.

    Brought back lots of memories. I was a Naval Aircrewman on the UC-12B (Beach super 200C) as a crew chief, and have close to 1500 hours in it. Got lots of stick time on dead heads and ran right seat several times. We ran from Wichita to Brunsiwck Maine and worked KC quite a bit. Funny thing kept needing to ask for Victor Freq, they kept giving me 200mhz freqs.

    Great job of working together. Thanks for leaving the videos long...For those of us who don't get to fly any more, any moment looking at the panel and out the window is a good one...A few comments about cross wind landings.
    There are two parts to them. I hear you talk a lot about the first part, getting the plane on the ground safely...(wing down, crab then straighten...etc.)...The second part nearly got me a Hobbs one day. Strong cross wind from the right. As the airplane slowed, the effectiveness of the tail surface diminished slowly until about 40 miles per hour it was almost gone...the plane wind-socked slowly into the wind....first I ran out of rudder, then I ran out of brake (locking up the downwind brake just as we passed between two runway lights on the right.) That second part was a doozy...We knew we were at the limit for the aircraft, and the runway was very wide. Guess if I had known how bad it was going to get, I would have landed a little across the runway so that I had more room on the upwind side when everything said turn right...
    Great job on the videos...thanks for taking us along.

    It’s always great to see fledgling aviator get opportunities to fly new aircraft. That’s pretty much how I got into flying corporate. When I was a line tech I was in the right place and the right time and got my high altitude Endorsement in a CJ2. I flew King Airs Part 135 for awhile then just recently a Citation Mustang and CJ1. Last week I had to pick up the Mustang for maintenance and took one of my previous students with me so he could get some right seat experience.

      Justin was just being polite. Single pilot ops become clunky and awkwardly slow when you have a young pilot in the right seat to deal with. It’s much faster and easier just to rip right through it solo. There’s nothing helpful about having to babysit, other than someone to talk to. But we’ve all been there and we owe it to help the next generation of pilots. ✌️

    I tried to watch as much of your video's as I can. I love flying but don't fly myself. I didn't have the commitment to study and get my license. I ride motor bikes the closest thing on the ground to flying. King Air, my favorite aircraft as well. I was in a VP squadron while in the Navy. Was aircrew shortly got some stick time in P3. Then went into Air Force Reserve. Load Master on a C123 Fairchild. Got stick time on it as well. These were just to see what it was like to fly, not long on the stick at all. But I did get to stick a Cessna 150 once. It was a lot different to a heavy. I wasn't ready at first. Then I got to go back to the Navy. This time on a Submarine. They act like an airplane, but in the water. They bank in turns. They have to be trimmed. Controls are similar to aircraft. All operations are done by instruments. This I got a lot of time operating.

      Yes, please Josh! If you ever do get a chance to fly a King Air 350, that would be an awesome video. As always a wonderful video, keep it up!
