- Today we’re off in Levi’s C182 for lunch in Catalina, with a Bravo clearance for an LAX VFR transition. Navigation for the Coastal Route is straightforward and we can expect some good fun on the landing at Catalina. Pure enjoyment. Wayne, GeezerGeek Pilot

Born in Torrance in 1954. NEVER (yet) been to Catalina !! Nice Flight !
ATTENTION TO ALL::: The restaurant at ROSAMOND SKYPARK [LOO] will be open weekends starting the weekend of the 14th of Aug 2021 at 08:00 ... The best breakfast in the Anteloope Valley ! Parking in front of the restaurant - first come first served.
...nice video great job no go-arounds...having been to Catalina in ages, I'm going back thanks to you...wheels up!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching! Wayne (DA40 KSBA)
Great video, thanks for sharing. I grew up in San Diego and learned to fly at Carlsbad. Flew to Catalina many times! This brought back some nice memories.
Very glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching. Wayne
Awesome flight, and to Catalina.
Brings back memories. I had gone from TOA to SBA. On return trip I requested the Coastal Route. It's wild seeing departing LAX traffic going under you...
Paul, thanks for watching! SoCal is a great area to fly. Wayne
Great video buddy. I am getting ready for my IFR check in 3 weeks or less now, had to take a break from studying for my written to watch this video. I just purchased my own plane so I can't wait to start doing whatever I want when I want without worry about rental fees or having the plane back by a certain time:)
Congrats on your own plane... best wishes on your IFR checkride... and thanks for watching! Wayne
Nice! I was lucky enough to have (well, "take") a day off during a conference LA in 2003. Rented a Cherokee and a CFI at SMO and flew to AVX, transiting the no-clearance-required SFRA enroute.
AVX is indeed special... also the SFRA is cool/weird (sans ATC contact). Since we were coming down from Santa Barbara, the higher Coastal Route (5500') made more sense for us so that we could get some altitude for the water crossing. Thanks again for watching! Wayne
Wow your energy is congratulations! So glad everything went great for you. Congrats again and have a great week.I enjoy watching your happy make me happy too I did joined you subscribed my best channel.

Great video! Enjoyed it very much. Makes me want to call my mechanic to hurry up with my annual.
Ramon, thanks for watching! I'm in the same boat... waiting for my DA40 to come out of annual (new propeller).
@@GeezerGeekPilot Always a nervous time of the year for me. No flying and wondering what the mechanic might find.
Ah man, I had the opportunity to fly over LAX, but Catalina’s runway wasn’t open back then, I guess next time!!!!
Absolutely next time... well worth it... an island version of Sedona. Thx as always for watching. Wayne
Subbed. Nice video. Thank you for posting.
Thx for watching! Wayne
So I’m definitely adding this to my bucket list! Love the video.
Thanks for watching! IMHO, Catalina and Sedona should be on most every bucket list. Hope to see you out this way. Best regards. Wayne
@@GeezerGeekPilot for sure! As soon as my wife caves and lets me buy a plane.
Chad, terminology suggestion... "as soon as my wife caves and lets US buy a plane". :-)
@@GeezerGeekPilot you’re a smart man.
What was the GPS routing you used for the coastal route in foreflight? Thanks!
Hi, Presley... on this day, southbound we flew the LA Coastal Route... something like KSBA SADDE LAX KAVX. See 00:48 in the video. If I remember correctly we flew the VOR inbound and outbound (or OBS on the Garmin, not sure which)... in looking at the track we might have been better off flying the magenta line on ForeFlight 😀. Thanks for watching! Wayne (DA40 KSBA)
@@GeezerGeekPilot Thanks for your reply! Great content and great flying! Fly safe
