Bahamas #2: Q&A Session

- čas přidán 8. 11. 2018
- *Disclaimer: This is just a Q&A video from common questions posted to our past videos. We are doing this as we cruise on our first leg to the Bahamas.
To clarify my comments about Baron's vs 310's: I was only comparing IO-470 powered versions of both aircraft. There are several versions of each. To reiterate, they are very comparable aircraft and it's really just personal preference.
My headset is actually the LightSpeed Zulu 2's (I mistakenly said 3 in the video).

Thanks for sharing and answering the questions. Don't be surprised by the success of your channel, you are likeable down to earth people who have your stuff together and are doing something many wish they could do...and filming it. Recipe for success...
Thank you for the nice comment Arch! Glad you think so. :)
Agree with you, Sir - best possible formula for success.
totally likeable. just nice.
Thanks for sharing more about your aviation backgrounds, aircraft choice, etc.. It adds perspective to what you're doing. Keep having fun!
Glad you enjoyed it Mike!
Great story and history of you and your wife. Very impressive resume you guys have and obviously you're living the dream !
Thanks for sharing your life and all the aviation related content here. 2 thumbs up to both of you, stay safe and have a great weekend :)
Doug @ the "ranch"
Thank you Doug!!!
@@310Pilot can I see you race your truck against your cessna 310 from chicago to arkansas
That was pretty cool that you all took the time to give us some time to get to know you both. Your becoming celebrities. No other pilot channels do it quite like you two. Looking forward to seeing your adventure on the islands. Happy tail winds.
Glad you enjoyed it and you think we have our own little niche. Glad people are enjoying them. :)
Thanks for the Q&A. I absolutely love your channel and look forward to everything you post! Catching up on a lot of your archives :-)
You're welcome and glad you're enjoying it!! We have some fun trips coming up as well. :)
This was a great video and I love the up close and personal nature of the info you talked about. Keep them coming!
Awesome...thank you George!

Great Q&A. Thank you for sharing your love of flying. Your videos are extremely informative. You’re an awesome team.
Thank you very much...glad you enjoyed it!
Man that 310 panel is just the definition of cool, nice story too!
Awesome! Glad you like it. There are some really nice 6 figure panels out there but not in our budget. I'm really happy with what we have. :)
Thanks for taking the time to help us non pilots understand some of the planes functions. Your background history was also interesting to hear👍 thanks🇺🇸
Thank you Kevin and Jamie for taking the time to make these videos! Keep them coming. Love the videos of flying out to the farm. That's where my love of aviation began as we had an airstrip that was next to our family farm where I grew up. Go Mountaineer's!!!
Glad you are enjoying them Eddie! Too bad the runway at the farm is a little short for the 310. I have flown a 172 in and out of there before. I've flown to West Va before...beautiful state!
Now this was a great video. Always great to get such valuable back ground info. I think you guys have a fantastic relationship and it must be great to fly around as a couple and see the world. Keep them videos coming. Just love them.
Hope you both have a great weekend enjoy the videos . I live just North of Tampa in Wesley Chapel . Thanks for explaining how you both got involved with aviation and thank you for your time served
You're very welcome Michael....glad you are enjoying the videos!
For me, this is the best channel on CZcams, hands down. You guys are genuinely enjoying each other and your love of aviation...keep the videos coming!
Wow!! Thanks for the awesome comment Tom...really glad you think so. :) Lot's more coming from the Bahamas and other flights.
Hello from Perth, Western Australia. Great video and informative Q&A session. Been watching your vids for a few months now and really enjoy seeing what you guys get up to. Well done and keep up the great work om your channel. Cheers...
Nice job guys. Thanks for posting these videos.
Hey Kevin and Jamie. Love the videos and thanks for sharing your backgrounds. Excellent job...can’t wait for the future videos.
Shawn
Glad you enjoyed it and thank you! I'm excited to start editing the island videos now. :)
IMHO, this was by far the most interesting vlog. Like to see more content like this. Love the history of both of your backgrounds.
Thank you for the feedback Ed, we will work more of that into future videos.
GREAT Video!!! Always nice to hear show people got started in their chosen / hobbies...
I really enjoyed the detailed answers, especially the explanation of the fuel gauges. Also, having someone in the right seat that can handle the radios and is good at spotting traffic sure helps bring the workload down for the pilot. You guys make a great team!
Thank you!! Glad you enjoyed it. :)
Great video! It's great to hear where you come from. I have really enjoyed watching you all in your travels. Keep bringing the videos...
Awesome..thanks Mike! Glad you enjoyed it. :)
Kevin, You and Jaime are the best in my book! You answered many questions that have been on my mind about your ATC background, how you got into aviation,education, military service etc. Both of your Q & A's were outstanding. Always wanted to be a pilot but never had the opportunity due to personal circumstances. Never lost my love for aviation! You have renewed my interest and I watch as many CZcams videos as possible. Thanks for your response to my comments due to your time constraints!
You're welcome James...glad you are enjoying the channel and we can help with your love of aviation. :)
I have been around airplanes all my life, a friend of my moms was a pilot from student to flying MU-2's. I was very lucky growing up with that environment. We got to fly in a lot of different planes. I eventually got my A&P, worked for a commuter for a few years, then got out of business. I enjoy videos you put out and also am able to live vicariously thru these to keep my head in the clouds. Keep 'Em Coming.
Glad you are enjoying them Jeff! Wish I had my A&P...especially at annual time. :)
I liked this one, nice to learn more about you two. Thanks for serving our country btw! Looking forward to more of this series, brings back some fun memories!
Glad you enjoyed it and thank you! Happy to bring back fun memories. :)
The Q&A was awesome. Lots of good questions answered.
I grew up with a dad who had a couple of 310s, then moved up to a 340 and then a 421. I flew in them all the time. It’s part of the reason I got my pilots’s license and have flown all my life. I aspire to move into a 310 in a few years - what a fantastic platform. It brings back a lot of memories when I watch your videos.
Enjoy yourselves!
Glad you enjoyed it Steve! That's awesome you got to grow up in twin Cessna's..they are hard to beat. I'd love a 340 but can't justify the extra cost for what we do. Glad to bring back some fond memories!
Kevin
Great video again..... really cool to hear both of your stories. Thank you for your service and keep these awesome videos coming👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it Tim and thank you! Now back to the island hopping. :)
Thanks for sharing your stories. You both are obviously qualified to present your story - I love it. The dynamics of your marriage are wonderful! Keep up the great work!
Great commentary and insight into your decision making process. Thanks for sharing. Love your videos!
Glad you enjoyed it...thank you Russ!
I happily found your channel recently, was immediately hooked, & subscribed. This Q&A is golden, I feel like I know you much better. Bravo! (Charlie)
Great info session. It is always nice to learn more about you both. I am sure this was one of your earlier videos before I began following you but thanks for doing it.
You have always acknowledged my comments which I appreciate and I wouldn't be mad if you didn't. I understand the time and effort you both put into these videos and I enjoy riding along, thanks!
Thank you Terry! I can't always and I'm sure it will get harder and harder. My original thought was if people take the time to watch and comment I should take the time to write a little back. Some times I have a few minutes to bang a few responses out and other times not so much.
@@310Pilot I do enjoy riding along.
Great Q&A session. It was really interesting to hear your stories. OK on Alaska. We just went on a cruise to Alaska and really loved what we saw. It was really an eye opener.....all so beautiful. The highlight was to cruise through Glacier Bay. I really enjoy your Channel and this Q&A was great. You both seem so positive and upbeat. Keep on keeping on. George in FL.
Thank you George...glad you enjoyed it! Alaska is very beautiful...I love going up there. One day we plan to have a summer place there in retirement. :)
You guys make me smile. You seem to be a great match, which also makes you personable in your videos. I so enjoy sitting back to watch them; it takes me away from everyday issues. TV is not worth watching any more. These videos are the perfect tonic for me. THANKS !
Thank you Jeff for the nice comment! Glad you are enjoying the channel and I agree about TV. Only turn it on for sports pretty much anymore.
Thanks for sharing , cool to hear a little of both your backgrounds. Keep up the great videos :)
Glad you enjoyed it James!
Both of you do a great job communicating to us the viewers. I really enjoy your adventures and being open with your
Followers. 😅
Thank you James...glad you think so. :)
Thank You Guys for sharing your back ground a little bit with your fans. I was always wondering why you two feel very comfortable on the Radio. Thank You. Mauricio.
Glad you enjoyed Mauricio!
Great comments Kevin and Jaime to give background how you got here!!! Great feed back on the 310 vs baron or anything else.
Thanks for pounding home the verbal commands that you do, i.e. flaps, gear, throttle, mix, etc. Dad and my instructors always told me to verbally say the commands to verify you're doing exactly what you want to do!! Always good to watch your videos.
Glad you are enjoying the videos Wayne! I started trying to explain things that I figured people would want to hear (my thoughts) and now I can't not announce whatever I'm doing while I fly. :)
DejaVu...My Father was a 1950's USAF Fighter Pilot. My Grade School Teacher and her husband owned a Twin Cessna and would take me flying on the week ends when Dad was gone. I joined the USAF late 70's and was an ATC'er for 8 years, got out and joined the FAA worked "LGB" Tower during the Reagan strike. I resigned and joined the Army. Spent the remainder of my career as a Army Pilot. Flew Med-Evac during the 1st gulf war. But Enough of me...Love your videos!!!!
Glad you're enjoying the videos James and thanks for your service! Sounds like we both have a lot of aviation in the family. :) My dad was a Med-Evac pilot and was activated during the 1st gulf war but stayed at Rucker in a training role. He did manage to get over there during the 2nd one prior to retirement.
Now this was special, thank you for the great adventures. Be safe in your travels.
Thank you Chris...glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks again Kevin......really enjoyed seeing how much fun you guys have on every trip!!
You're welcome Bruce...glad you enjoyed it!
Love your video as always. Great idea for the Q and As. Would like to hear more of that. I’m living vicariously through you vids because I have always wanted to get a pilots license. Now I’m too old to do it but I did get my FAA part 107 Drone Pilots license so I can fly commercially. Have fun in the Bahamas !!
Glad you enjoyed it Jeff! We will continue to do that in upcoming videos when we have spare time in cruise.
Yes you're going to be a pilot!!! Jaime we want to see you solo!!! You have the best instructor on your left.
I have watch many of your videos, very much enjoy them keep up the great work. And be safe.
Thank you Jimmy...glad you are enjoying them!
Great video! Not only do you two have a great cockpit dynamic with each other, but you make it feel like I'm riding along hanging out. Just found your channel recently, subscribed and working through the videos. Love them!
Glad you found us and thanks for subscribing! Glad you're enjoying our videos and hopefully we can keep it that way for you. :)
Love watching you two! Haven't flown in quite a few years now (divorce, child support blah blah blah) can't afford it anymore. Had my single engine, private pilot's license with float, and night ratings. Your video angles are great, right from take off, to "in air" and landings, put me back in the left seat! Keep up the great work, stay safe, and looking forward to many more adventures with you guys!
This could be Trailer #2. Had to put it in my favorites folder. I need to watch it again. Thanks for all the info on the 310 and your reasons for getting it. Even 2 years after submitting this video, it is still very interesting and to see all the advances you have made! I feel like a time traveller going back and forth with You Tube steering my viewing from your current ones to your early entries. Great fun to watch. Soon i will be caught up and start watching your Patreon Album.
Great hearing both your stories. I'm from Anchorage as well. Born and raised, attended UAA aviation program as well. Live in WI now.
Glad you enjoyed it! Jaime said hi...not sure if you guys were at UAA together or not? Do you fly?
Great video! I really enjoyed hearing your story. Thanks for your service Kevin!
You're welcome Todd and thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video. :)
Love watching your videos. Thank you for your service.
You're welcome Gene...glad you are enjoying the channel!
Thank you for the Q&A session. Very interesting and informative. I watch all your videos, flying is my first love. Have fun!
Glad you enjoyed it Ray! Thank you for watching...hope we can keep it fun for you!
This is a good channel. I love listening to ATC while I'm at work. You guys sound good. Please keep them coming. Gary Houston Texas,
Thanks for the feedback Gary! Glad you're enjoying the channel. :)
Always wondered what you both did. Thanks for sharing. I am retired AF and work at the Biloxi VA Medical Center right next door to Keesler. I finally got my local area checkout and fly out of KGPT and really enjoy flying in this beautiful area. Thank you for your service and Happy Veterans Day.
Thank you for your service as well Bryan! Congrats on getting checked out locally and being able to fly around down there. Even though I wasn't there for long, I remember liking the area down there.
Really enjoy your channel! Loved the biography and Q&A of this episode. My Dad was a CFI for Cessna back in the sixties and got me a factory promo photo of Sky King with his new 310B, so obviously I've been a lifelong fan of 310's. Going along with your tale of renting a Skyhawk and it taking forever to travel; again as a kid back in the sixties I got to fly with my Dad in a Skyhawk . Another pilot friend who owned a 310B took off a little later, caught up and passed us like we were standing still! Keep up the great work!
Glad you are enjoying the channel Jeff and thanks for your backstory! That's awesome you got a photo with Sky King. :) 310's for sure make the country smaller than 172's could. Still love to fly around in a 172 from time to time though.
With you once again. Learning so much. 72 yrs. old now and too late for me. Early glider rating, soloed 152 went broke. Now looking for youtube groundschool. I can still learn, lol. First inspiration was Steve McQueen looping a Schweizer 1-26 in the start of "The Thomas Crown Affair". That's all it took. Working through your videos and learning. Thanks to both.
Enjoyed! Didn’t know you were an AF vet. Me, 23 years active AF, worked altitude chambers. Happy Veterans Day and have a great trip!
Thanks for your service as well Buck! Happy Veterans Day to you as well. :)
Wow you two. So awesomely explained. So much going on up there. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it Theo...wasn't sure if people would be interested in us rambling or not. :)
great video, loved hearing the background of you two and how your careers got started!
Glad you enjoyed it JW!
And now I know, the rest of the story. Seriously, thank you for the background info. As a USAF SMSgt (Ret), I feel a kinship with you beyond flying. On the comparison between the 310 and Baron, my research seems to indicate a better resale value for the 310; and, without having been in either, it seems like the 310 cabin space is greater. At any rate, thank you for taking the time to post your videos. They have been helpful to me as a pilot, making me much more comfortable flying VFR utilizing ATC. I now always use ATC flight following when fling cross country since viewing your videos. Since most of my flying is between KBMI and Milwaukee, maybe we’ve spoken. Happy landings, and again, thank you for improving the VFR/ATC relationship.
Thank our for your service as well! Glad you are enjoying the videos. :) I forgot to mention the 310 having a wider/more roomy cabin and that was another factor for us vs the Baron. Glad you are finding the videos helpful in your own flying. If you get flight following in the Chicago area, there is a chance we have talked to you. Stay safe up there!
I was just telling my wife about you two the other day. We ride a motorcycle all over the place and do a big trip each year on the bike. I did take private pilot training years ago in my 20's. To be honest I ran out of money before I ran out of time. But I enjoy watching you two and enjoy just listening to you chat back and forth. We do the same thing with out motovlogging CZcams channel. Thanks for keeping me away from the TV and Fly Safe!
Glad to help keep you away from the TV! :) Congrats on your motovlog! Jaime want's me to get a Harley one day. :)
I really enjoyed this talk, thanks for sharing. I watch all your videos, Me and several of my family members are studying to possibly get training to be a pilot. My brother owns a 172. Two of my brothers are A&P so I've been closely involved with aviation thru them for years. You, Stevo, Greg, Baron are some of my favorite channels in the GA world. Thanks a bunch for making these videos.
Glad you're enjoying the channel Larry! Your family sounds about like mine with all the aviation related interests. Good luck on finishing up your pilots license. Bunch of nice guys you have listed there as well. :)
Very informative video, Kevin and Jaime. Thanks for sharing your history in aviation with us. Since y’all aren’t commercial pilots, you both are very down-to-earth folks. I think that’s what makes you both so likable to us. But, when you are flying, Kevin, you are conversational, but are still serious about flying the aircraft, and Jaime handles the radio like she was the pilot in command. It brings out the friendliness in each of you. You both talked about you each got into aviation and and air traffic control, but one thing you left out, or I didn’t catch. Since you both came from different parts of the country, and have worked in different locations in ATC, how did you end up in Chicago ATC? Do you both work at O’Hare? Also, Kevin, as a fellow veteran, I want to thank you for your service to our country, as well as, your father and grandfather, for their service. Thanks for sharing your knowledge of different aircraft, as well. Very informative. I, personally, feel like I know you and Jaime a little more now, and appreciate you both. Thanks for another great video. As always, keep’em coming, and Happy Flying and always Safe Landings.
Thanks for your service as well Richard and glad you enjoyed the video! We both ended up in Chicago because it was the busiest ATC facilities and we wanted to work at the top. Little did we know it is really hard to get out when you are here because it is short staffed. One day we will have a summer spot in Alaska and a winter spot in Georgia. Can't wait!
Kevin/Jaime, I enjoy coming along for the ride w/ you in your videos; you are nice people to hang out with. The first airplane I ever rode in was a Ford Tri-Motor, aka "The Tin Goose". It was operated out of Port Clinton, Ohio by Island Airways and flew out to the Lake Erie Islands. As I recall the cabin was narrow and cramped, but fortunately it is a short flight!
Wow, I can’t believe the similar background I have with you. My dad, Army fixed wing pilot when I was young, lived in Athens, also Atlanta where dad kept our C172 at Peachtree Dekalb (north side of Atlanta ). Numerous uncles who were also military and GA pilots. C310 hands down favorite. The back stories you and Jamie share are some of the best I’ve ever heard. You probably won’t believe this but my wife also lived in Alaska. No, you didn’t talk too much, could have listened all day ! Thank you Kevin !
Wow John...small world! Sounds very similar to me. :) Did your dad fly out of Winder, GA when you were in Athens? Glad you enjoyed the video...lot's of others coming soon. Go Dawgs!!
Jaime and Kevin, thanks so much for sharing your story. Jamie, I am legally blind, 20/1700 in best eye, and my wife is a pilot. I do the radio work as well. However, I have logged about 65 hours of left seat and right seat time to learn how to land the plane in an emergency without being able to see the runway, airport, or most of the gauges from the right seat. My instructors were very helpful in developing ways that I could control the plane safely with the visual cues that we found that worked for me. I have learned to fly an ILS and NDB approach and am able to land the plane safely if an observer can assist me over the radio in knowing when to flare. In a non field emergency landing, I have learned to get the plane as slow as possible and head for a big open field.
Glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for telling your story about learning to fly for emergencies. We will do the same with Jaime at some point. :)
Enjoyed hearing your back-stories. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it Don!
Looking forward to seeing you fly into the Bahamas and maybe more than one island. You two obviously are very skilled with the plane and love listening to both you and Jamie talking to the controllers. Very professional. Fly safe.
Glad you are enjoying it Dave! We end up flying into three different islands and record all of it and the flight back home. I'm breaking them up into separate legs and editing them one at a time. I'm almost done with #4 (the first island)...should be up in a day or two.
Loved the insight to how you decided on the 310. My A&P when I had my B24R was a HUGE 310 fan, I assisted with engine changes, enjoyed learning about the 310. I've been out of flying for about 20 years, watching you guys, Premier1Driver and Baron Pilot is interesting for me as an experienced pilot.
"Pinch Hitter Training"...
That's what she needs...thanks Ed! Glad you are enjoying watching the videos to get your mind back up there. :)
Thanks for your service. Much appreciated.
You're welcome Josh...thank you!
Nice one guys. Thank you for this video. Your back story was spot on, with all the questions I had about both of you. Now I can understand better why you are so both super efficient aviators.
I'm really enjoying your videos, from all the way down in Tasmania, Australia.
Glad you're enjoying the videos! I can't wait to visit Australia one day!!
Love the vids! Thanks for taking us along!
Glad you are enjoying them Robert!
Great job on you explanations and very interesting to say the least. Please keep your videos coming.
Glad you enjoyed it...thanks Greg!
Kevin, thanks for your service, from an old ex-Navy Corpsman (and a big fan of your videos).
You're welcome David and thank you for your's as well! Glad you are enjoying the videos!
I was an Army helicopter crew chief back in the day, maybe I knew your dad! Keep the videos coming, really enjoy them. You guys do a great job.
Thank you for your service Ron! He was a 58 and Huey pilot. Not sure which models you worked on? Glad you are enjoying the channel!!
@@310Pilot I worked on Hueys and Cobras. If he was in Germany between 1977 and 1980 we may have met.
Hey there Jamie and Kevin, first time commenter long time viewer😀. Love the vids and commentary. I have always thought about getting into aviation but just never made the leap, that was until I stumbled upon and subbed to your channel a little over a month ago and decided to take that leap as you have inspired me to do so. With that said my first solo was yesterday afternoon and in 27 days time. So I wanted to thank you guys for the inspiration. Please keep the vids coming so others can be inspired by your down to earth and genuine character. May have to do my 150xc to KARR as I’m 156.4nm @ 104. Hope to meet you one day to shake your hand and thank you personally both for your service to the best country in the world and for the inspiration. Best of luck and blue sky’s.
Wow Keith, this is awesome! This has always just been about sharing our love of aviation to others and finding out people are getting into aviation because of our videos is amazing. Glad to have a positive influence here. Congrats on your solo!!!! Let us know if you make that solo up to KARR and we will come out and say hi if we can. :)
Hello Jaime, from Chugiak, Alaska!!!
Also, had the BAS seat belts put in my plane a few years ago. I am happy with them.
Thanks for the pirep on the BAS...going to get that in the next few months! One day we may try to get a cabin out by you. :)
Enjoyed the history. You guys are great for each other.
Great refresher course. It always takes someone else to remind you not to become complacent. Thanks
You're welcome..glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for sharing your story. And congrats on your success, which I know you both worked very hard for. Go Dawgs!
Thank you!! It's been a fun journey for sure. Go Dawgs!!
Thanks guys... apart from the Q and A, this video shows what it feels like to just cruise along, the sound of the engines beating a steady rhythm, time to relax and enjoy flying... looking forward to cruising along with you to the Bahamas... 😎
You're welcome Gilles, I'm excited to start editing the island hopping part!
Great videos, guys!! I went to ATC academy in 1989 and landed at ZSE but unfortunately washed out in 92. Currently a correctional officer in Oregon and own and fly a 1959 C172.
Glad you are enjoying the videos Chris! It was a tough time back then from what I've heard. Learned to fly in 172's...they will always have a special place in my heart. :)
Just found your channel. Really enjoy it. I had a 310-J (N3051L) for 10 years that I bought in Alaska and flew back to VA. Flew it for 600+ hours and really miss it but I had to sell it, I was afraid avgas would go to $2/gal. It was a long time ago. Met my wife at the airport and our first date was in the 310. Watching the takeoffs and operation brings back a lot of good memories. As far as the shoulder harness' go, my wife has a PA-28 that we installed the BAS shoulder harness and didn't like the four point harness. They really chafe our neck and are hard to put together. We installed the conventional shoulder harness (3 point) in our Velocity XL-RG and like those a lot better. Thanks for the sharing your stories. Maybe will meet at Oshkosh or Sun-N-Fun someday.
Glad you found us and are enjoying the channel! Thanks for the heads up about the harnesses. I just can't find a 3 point for my plane. So far the BAS is all that I find STC'ed. Neck chafing sounds terrible. If I was going to build a plane today it would be the Twin Velocity...they look and sound amazing. Even though they don't seem as fast as your's! We plan to go to both next year so hopefully we can meet up! Thanks again!!
I worked on FA-18s in the Marine Corps. Thank you for your service!
You're welcome Brian and thank you for your service as well!
Thank you for your service and flight tutorials
You're welcome John...glad you enjoyed it!
Some of my favorite memories were spent in the right seat of a 310 an old friend and client owned here in Jacksonville, Florida back in the '80's. He was working on his IFR ticket and every evening would shoot approaches to JAX and I would ride along. I have been a VFR flier and Warrior owner at one time, so I also live some vicarious memories through you guys. Great videos! Keep it up! For the record, when my friend was working on his approaches, his CFI occupied the right seat and I usually rolled around on the bench back seat. My up front time and hands on was just when we were zooming around for fun - and yes, after flying a Warrior the speed was very very addictive. I would have a 310 in a country heartbeat if I had the income to support it.
Awesome back story Clayton! Glad you were able to enjoy time in your friends 310. We've flown around in 172's, 'togas', etc and I must agree...the speed is addictive. Really allows for stretching out and making the country much smaller. Glad you are enjoying the videos!!
@@310Pilot Have a great weekend!
Like the Qa. Flew tomcats in the day. Health will not me fly now but live vicariously through your videos ty
I was an Assistant Air Traffic controller in the RAF for five years and did it as a civilian (in the UK) for over 30 years. It's a great life.
Best job for me, that's for sure Colin! Congrats on your career as well. :)
You guys are CZcams Stars! It was nice hearing about your backgrounds and history, helps to give your videos a little more personal touch if that makes any sense 🙄 I'm an A&P, but havent turned wrenches in many years...am now an RN. I've always wanted to be a pilot since childhood, but never had the financial resources. Thank you both for allowing me to come along for the ride . Grace & Peace to both of you. 🙂😉
Ha ha...not sure about stars but it is pretty strange for us to be recognized still. We are starting to get used to it now that is happens on a majority of our flights. We are just happy people are enjoying the videos and saying hi when they hear/see us. :) Aviation is such a small world! Glad you're enjoying the channel Kevin! I really wish I could get my A&P but it is so time consuming I just can't swing it until retirement. Between being an RN and A&P, I'd say you're pretty good with your hands!
Through the blessings of the show of your passion I know I am in the field. Thank you!
You're welcome Tyrease!
Well done guys. Keep on keeping on. Well done.
Thank you...glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks Jaime and Kevin on your history your living my dream
Awesome video! Unexpected get to know Kevin & Jaime background time and I enjoyed it! From watching your videos for some time now (subscribed the 1st time i watched your videos!) Ive gathered you're both ATC folks but its nice to get the back story!
Love hearing everything about your 310 too and what lead you to buying that model.
Kevin, I have always found you to be extremely quick to respond to questions and also you often reply to comments that dont even need one but you do so and cv- its always appreciated, you're both just super down to earth (when not flying at lease lol) people, the kind pf folks everyone loves to have for friends!
I'm looking forward to the rest of your Bahama trip, have a great time!
Wow, thank you Don for the nice comments! That is what this is all about for us. A working class couple that enjoys our jobs, each other and taking some flying adventures to share. :)
Nice. Really enjoyed that. My first solo in training was off rwy 27 at Aurora.
Glad you enjoyed it! I love our home airport (ARR). Nice small town feel with great runways, approaches and ATC. :)
Following you guys from the UK (England) brilliant channel thank you for speaking slowly LOL have great trip.
Howdy from this side of the pond! Glad you are enjoying the channel...Thank you for the support!
Also too, thank you for sharing about the headset, been exploring options.
You're welcome Greg!
That was a great Q&A thanks for posting this video. What makes your videos so great is the down to earth family style presentations and clearly your passion for flying :) Cheers from Aussie .I'll have to try out the Lightspeed headset soon, I'm using the Bose A20 be interesting to compare.
Glad you enjoyed it Paul and thank you!! Hope to make it down to Austria to fly around one day!
@@310Pilot That'd be great, look me up down here in Queensland (YRED - Home aerodrome)
Great video and background information. The reason you like the 310 are the reasons I like them too
Glad you enjoyed it Dave! They are easy planes to fall in love with. :)
Loved this Q&A, you guys are great. I loved hearing your thoughts between the Baron and 310. I flew a 58 in the 80s, that had a Colemill conversion. That conversion addressed some of the points you made. Like you, I always liked the look and stance of the 310. The FBO where I worked, while building time, had both aircraft, but just a completely different ramp presence. Thanks for another great video, Safe skies !
Glad you enjoyed it Randy! The Colemill Baron's and 310's are hotrods. :) Too much for my pockets though...we'll be sticking with our 470's. Do love the ramp presence of a Twin Cessna.
310 Pilot Agreed. Love a twin Cessna ! Great channel, you guys are the best !
The 310 has always been my dream airplane! Thanks for the videos! Please share as much of your 310 knowledge as you want. Hope to own one someday!
Ha ha.. It was always mine as well. Finally decided you only live once and made it happen. Good luck in your quest as well. :)
Bradley Ahern Buy a 64-thru-Q model w a 430 WAAS and you’ll be good. The additional room over a Baron is noticeable.
Thanks Jamie and Kevin,great Q&A It was good review of the 310 I have not flown the 310 after my multi rating check ride in 1971 ,because shortly after I was type rated in a Lear 24.
Glad you enjoyed it Frank! If you have the chance to move up to a LJ I guess that's a good reason to say goodby to 310's. :)
Yes, it has been a great career I am now retired I am 79 it was the insurance saying you can"t fly complex aircraft after 77. I have been flying a 414 some recently . @@310Pilot
