#53 King Air F90 to Big Bear (L35)
Vložit
- čas přidán 15. 07. 2024
- This week we take you along on a quick flight to Big Bear (L35) and back down to Long Beach in our company's F90 King Air. We have done a video on this airplane before if you're interested in learning about this aircraft in bigger detail. Big Bear is a challenging airport especially in the summer months due to its high elevation of 6,752 ft. Now in December, density altitude isn't an issue, especially when you're flying in a F90 King Air. However, it's been really foggy in the LA Basin these past few days with lots of diversions to airports located closer in the inland. We were lucky enough to make it back into Long Beach before it fogged up for the night. We hope you enjoyed this quick little flight with us!
As mentioned in the video, we'd like to hear some questions that you might have for us! Please ask away in the comment section below!

Wow - One of the very best pilots flying one of the very best G.A.U. aircraft in and out of one of my favorite airports? This guy is an inspiration in every aspect. What more can I ask for? The only thing missing is the snow-covered backdrop. Not to compare myself in any way - not even close - but L35 is the scene of my best arrival and departure operations - smoothest landings. I guess I attribute that to the bit of extra care/attention it kind of requires plus I had to do those check rides in and out of there for the high-density altitude experience. My bucket list includes piloting a F90 - even if it's just an instructional flight. I'll probably never make that but watching this guy is almost close enough.
Again, not to be smart a*&ed, but my first favorite SoCal airport to fly in and out of was LO5 (Kern Valley) approaching from the SE up through that pass tracking that State Route then threading the needle on downwind to base and final for the 18 to land facing the lake. That's another one where I was usually pleased with my landings and departures despite initial apprehension. It would be neat to see Rich fly the F90 in and out of there. As I recall, not much crosswind risk at runway elevation but the gradient/eddy winds coming in and out of there were sometimes a factor.
Thank you for your reply and compliments! We were actually considering flying to Kern Valley but then something came up and we headed for Big Bear instead! Definitely planning a flight to L05 in the future - maybe in the King Air! Where are you based out of? Are you still current?
I agree, my question is, what aircraft doesn’t Rich fly?
@@bobspencildrawings6928 I may have missed them, but I've seen no vids of Rich piloting rotary, sailplanes or, of course, para gliders, etc. Do I win the sweepstakes or has he posted those?
F90 pure class
great, now I want a king air, thanks a lot Rich!
I have 3,000+ hours in SN218 an F-90-1. Most missions were Bay Area to ktrk with longer trips to SoCal and Canada. That plane was bulletproof and I never had a missed mission due to mechanical issues.
That’s pretty much our experience as well. Thanks for the message!
That is such a beautiful piece of aeronautical engineering. That is the best looking kingair i have seen yet
Great looking plane and a fine job of flying. King air is one of my favorite planes great design and fits many rolls.
Spectacular F90 and views. Miss flying the LA basin. Thanks, Rich, for another great one 🤙🏼
Your videos have improved over the past two years. Not that they were bad before. Now you are fairly consistent with the info you give in each video, which is nice. Things like realistic speeds compared to the manufacturers published figures. Also fuel consumption, comparing the plane in the video to others in the same market. Just a lot of good info. Keep up the solid work.
I love how you describe the events and workings of the aircraft in a very professional way definitely had to subscribe to the channel thanks for posting
Beautiful F90.
Rich you make flying so esay so relax. Great job. 👍
Ahh, Big Bear! Love your videos Rich and what a great company bird!
Thank you!
Always learn something from all your videos, much appreciated!
Glad to hear it!
Thanks for another awesome clip, a lot of good memory from Big Bear. I will be in town during Christmas holiday leave.
Thanks for watching!
Beautiful. Awesome video. I am from Europe. A very long time ago(1986) I have been the last time to Bigbear. With Cherokee N55066. Changed a lot. A mass of hangars there by now. What a beautiful place with a lot of memories. Nice King Air. And your video best best enjoy like always. Thanks for this video.
Thank you!
Once again you always have great camera views and I love anything turboprop! Beechcraft is the king! Thanks Rich love your channel

Very much agree! Thanks for watching!
Thaaaat is the most beautiful King Air I have ever seen... Stunning airplane,
This is my favorite color Rich and I’m looking forward for the next flight and hopefully it’s in a TMB 900
Rich , another great video!! Thanks and Blessings!!
Thank you!
Absolutely beautiful paint job. Great airplane.
Thanks Rich! Appreciate the looks at different planes/configs I don't get to see often! As always, I learn something every time, every day. That KA is just a beautiful airplane, and love that paint! That would make a great picture for wall hanging LOL. Appreciate you, thanks again! 8) --gary
Thanks for the message!
Great sounding engines!! Looks great Avionics
Beautiful aircraft and great clip as always Rich. Thank you for sharing as I like L35 as well.
Thank you!
Great video Rich. Thanks for sharing! Always enjoyed flying in the King Air. The company I worked for a number of years back had one in its fleet. Occasionally, I flew in the King Air on business trips.
Very cool and thank you!
..thanks again Rich for recording.. editing..and posting another great flight..keep em coming..
Thanks. We will keep them coming!
Great video! King Airs are awesome! I flew a C-99 model for a commuter airline. The first thing I'm going to do after I win the lottery is go out and purchase a King Air.
What a sweet ride Rich! I live vicariously through your videos. You get to fly all the cool stuff. The King Air is one sweet ride. I have about .7 in a C90.
Thank you for that! That's great to hear! How did you get your .7 in a C90?
@@FlyingwithRich it was decades ago when I worked for an FBO at PDK no longer in business. Flew right seat from ATL to PDK relocation flight. Got to do the takeoff. Was fresh multi rating at the time and was not prepared for the climb rate of the C90. It was a blast! Been flying a Cirrus SR22 these days and just got my double-I. Flight instruction is part time thing, (day job is IT sales), but would love to do some contract right seat in a King Air.
@@brianb5594 that's great! The SR22 is a fun plane too. Hope you'll find some King Air opportunities!
A very talented pilot.
Yea! Someone with a real GTN750!!! I thought I was the only one who had one. I use it in x-plane11 with my eclipse 550ng and love it. It's great to see one in real life!
Awesome. F90 Kingair Beechcraft flying👏🏿
that's a beautiful plane!

Dont forget to tap the brakes before retracting the gear up!. Nice paint job on the F90, much better condition than the one I was flying up in the arctic.
Love the F90.
Wonderful flight good Pilot you Great
Another awesome video! Thanks for posting!
Thank you!
Another well put together showcase of a high performance airplane. Definitely an inspiration to watch you live the dream flying these amazing unique airplanes. Your channel has definitely made an impact to an up and coming commercial pilot like me. Keep up the great work, Rich!
Very nice to hear that! Thank you for the support!
Good video good aircraft
Nice back ground music

Man, what a hot rod!

Nice paint job good looking airplane
Trm,endous quality videos, I think you do a good job transcribing the beauty of flight. The photogrpahy is splendid.
Thank you!
Another fun video - thanks!
Thanks.
Had a couple stops at Big Bear in a Cherokee 180 about 10 years ago. A little different experience than in a King Air but really cool regardless! Beautiful place in an unexpected location.
Very cool airport and airplane! Thanks for watching!
Enjoyed the flight.thanks.
Thank you!
That C90 gives King Air a good name!!!!
F90, the hot rod of the 90 series and only 90 with a T-tail.
another excellent video Rich, I have no time in 90s but maybe 3000 hrs in 100s and 200s, love your videos. Standing by for the next one lol.
Thank you!
Gotta admit that's one good looking King Air!
Big Bear is such a cool area, maybe one day we will head out that way . . .
Wished we could make the fly-in, sounds like a blast!!!!
Hey Ron - it is a beautiful machine. Come to CA sometime!
I subscribe to a lot of aviation channels, this is one of my favorites, look forward to it every Saturday. I Love seeing all the different planes. I appreciate your work and putting it out there for us, thanks Rich. What's your favorite plane to fly?
Thanks appreciate your feedback!
Really hard question to answer - so many great airplanes out there. Always loved the Cessna 185 - fits my style petty well. Want to do a video on one - have a friend who has a very nice one but it’s in Oregon. Hopefully will do a video on it soon.
Beautiful flight Rich. Will always miss my home town of SoCal.
Thank you! It sure is beautiful!
Painted the centerline with the nose wheel of that beast on takeoff. Awesome video
Thank you!
I've always said that if I could get my pilot license that's the kind of airplane I've always wanted. The blue color makes it an even better looking aircraft
Nice looking king air.
Thank you!
I dreamed about that plane all the time , beautiful 😍
Me too!
Great video. Really interesting aircraft. Many thanks
Thank you!
i’ve stayed at big bear many times. never knew this was there. i’ll check it out
handsome aircraft
For sure I would love you channel I just subscribed 🤩🤩🤩
Beautiful airplane! I’m a pilot myself and to me Beechcraft is the best!!! The king Air line is just awesome! Thank you for your videos!!!!
Thanks for watching
Nice video, sweet plane!
Thank you!
The things I would do for a chance to fly a King Air! Great Video!
Obviously you do none of them.
Thanks for sharing, I am disabledand cannot become a pilot so I hire planes to take my grandkids flying. I love your video's keep them coming please.... I should have joined the Airforce instead of the Army. All they let us do was rapel and jump out of them lol. Again much Love thanks
Thanks and thank you for your service!
Love the paint scheme on the aircraft.
Mee too! Thanks for watching!
@@FlyingwithRich You are welcome. I enjoy watching your videos.
Know the airport well. Have a house in Running Springs. You are so right about the fog. My house is around 6k feet. Many time the fog level is below us. Beautiful but driving the 330 through it is challenging.
I love the mountains. Haven’t been to Big Bear lately - so beautiful up there!
wow very nice content friend
very cool. Makes me want to get some more rating so I can fly an F90 as well!
I’m looking forward to riding with you in 2022 as well so let the camera guy that it’s nice to share the seat 😀
Great video Rich.
Thank you!
Was assigned to Norton Air Force Base in the 70's. Took a car ride to Big Bear several times. When I first reported, the smog was so bad I didn't even see the mountains nearby.
I got base approval to have my Cherokee 140 parked at the Aero Club. I was only 18.
Very cool. Thanks for the message!
Sure is nice to ride along with you thanks good job.Alaska
Thank you!
Rich that’s the KingAir that works for me
I had a friend that had a queen air back in the day in South Texas. I called it the flying tank ha ha
Another great video Rich! I guess my questions would be.. how did you get into flying? What’s your background? Thanks!
What a great aircraft. Could be my choice for the future.
You can't go wrong! Thanks for watching.
Thanks Rich
Thank you!
Always enjoy these video’s. 1 question is when did Beech put the pitot style inlet onto the F90? I really like the look of these inlets.
That's a good looking plane
Thanks for watching!
Excellent stuff bro
Thanks.
Loved flying the kingair type mainly the 200 think they are all very capable.
Great flying airplane!
The King Air 90 is an awesome option for a personal AC
And for a business!
Dude, you're making me want to buy this plane😂😂
thanks a lot.... I'd love to fly with you Rich
be safe
Always welcome to stop by OCR if you are in the area!
1:10 press two buttons instrument panel nearly falls off..Half the windscreen covered in cameras so professional.
Rich is such a cool guy
