No one in the CZcams aviation space does videos like Owen. Every single time you post, i click. Another amazing video, looking forward to seeing more G4 stuff!
Thank you! More G4 stuff on the way!
@@FlyWithOwen This might not mean much but I really want to thank you not only for the content but for content with this plane. This has been my favorite private plane since one flew low over my house a decade ago and besides you, there's really no other content about it besides the occasional video trying to sell them
As he hits the prop with the golf clubs
nice explanation of the experience with the PIAGgio CFI
I second this sentiment!
Nobody can dispute the Piaggio is the sexiest propeller twin aircraft ever. What an amazing aircraft.
Sexiest aircraft period!!! :)
I always look forward to your videos, they allow me to escape from a terminal illness for a nice period of time. Thank you
God bless you! I'm glad you have found an escape!
Very cool story, Owen . . . and a BEAUTIFUL sunset from "above".
Thank you!
That's an awesome story Owen, what a lucky find for an 18yo kid!!
Thank you! Yes indeed
There are very few aircraft that are as sleek as this beauty is. I always love these Piaggio videos, Owen. The background you shared with your journey to fly the Piaggio is quite remarkable. Those sunset shots were just so damn cool. Thanks.
Owen you are one of the very few CZcams aviators who continually inspire me with every content you put out. Something about your aura is pure. Thanks for sharing your magnificent story how you came to fly the Piaggio Avanti.
Nice flight and nice to hear your experience. I am amazed how the Piaggio flies more like a small jet than a prop plane.
I love the unconventional engineering mixed with “Italian fashion.” Gorgeous.
Thank you, it is definitely more comparable to a small jet indeed
The sound at takeoff is like nothing I've heard before. Very unique airplane.
Some time being in the right place does on Good. Thanks for the Story and another great Sun set Owen.
Thank you!
Another incredible video by an incredible guy! Thanks, Owen, for sharing your story. You are an inspiration to all of us!
Great job Owen!
Excellent pilot, thanks so much for sharing.
Thank you!
congratulations Owen...really great of you to put this content out there. you're def among the top tier. great job
Absolute BANGER
absolute banger of an editing
Edited by the best in the game!
Great to have another video 📷 from you Owen! Excellent 👌🏼 and excellent advice as to advance 💯 in life 👍🏼 totally agree! Take every opportunity 🙏🏼
It's always fun hearing that thing come into San Jose. Just makes such a a unique sound, can always tell exactly what it is.
Your videos are so influential, and full of helpful information. I hope to keep learning from you and follow your footsteps as I am a fresh commercial pilot and aspire to achieve the success that you have as a contract pilot. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos and help people like myself out! Keep up the great work!
Awesome flight thanks! I'm amazed how much communication is still necessary between the pilot and traffic control.
I’ve heard so many “right place, right time” stories in the aviation industry. Say ‘yes’ to everything, best advice ever! Tough headwinds but you gotta take the good with the bad. Great video, great flight…thanks for taking me along!
Awesome story Owen, love the videos. You're one of the few aviation content creators that gives a quality behind the scenes view and keeps it fresh every time. Also, as a controller myself, very much appreciate the comms in every video. Love the work!
Thanks for sharing your story about how you landed the great gig. Awesome vid!
I like the way your voice gets 2 octaves lower when you talk to ATC. So cool.
He must impress the dude sitting beside.
Thanks for taking us along Owen. Love the Piaggio 🤙
I'm getting back into aviation and listening to your radio chatter is helping me get tuned in. Love the videos.
Such a beautiful plane, and thanks for the great shots. Safe fly Owen.
Awesome video! Your content quality keeps getting better and better. And it started high to begin with 👌🏽 keep it up! Greetings from Denmark 😊
Beautiful plane - great story - and wow, what a sunset.
Fantastic vid Owen always look forward to these vids from you
This editing is fantastic! From the intro, taxi, takeoff - the sound levels were perfectly balanced
Love the content Owen! Thanks for sharing your flights and your career path!
Thank you!
Nice video but be careful how quickly you raise the flaps in this bird. I'm sure you know how intense the sink rate can be. I know a couple Piaggio pilots that used to do that and eventually, during one instance, big gusts of wind came and sunk them right back onto the runway while obviously at high speed. Can just lead to unnecessary danger instead of waiting til 400ft. I've got about 5k hours in the thing so I've seen all sorts lol. Great work though and I am glad this beautiful machine is getting some air time.
You say you got about 5k hours on the thing but not a single post about it on your link. I see you had references to a sim profile, could this be the 5K hours you logged on?
@@henrylee8092 Huh? I don't think I was talking to you, sir. It was from one P180 pilot to another. He flew the plane beautifully, but that is something I noticed and as a fellow pilot, we shouldn’t be put down for pointing something out in a polite way. This is one of the first things your taught at Piaggio school at FlightSafety, the pretty intense sink rate. And if you were to get an engine failure in the Piaggio on takeoff, you’d leave flaps mid for a while until you’ve got a substantial amount of ground clearance due to the fact that a lot of lift is momentarily reduced when going from “mid” to “up”. Again, I’ll emphasize how great he was flying the thing. But my comment wasn’t meant for you.
Great video and story. Good for you! You get out of life what you put into it. Nicely done sir.
Love this. The P180 is my absolute favorite plane.
Amazing story Owen! Something similar happened to me. About 2 years ago, I took a discovery flight with a guy at CNO in a Gyroplane. It blew my mind.. I made a video about it and it went viral on my little channel. I approached him with the idea of a CZcams channel and he went for it. Fast forward to today and he's making me a CFI and not only am I going to Oshkosh for the second time this year, I may end up going to Germany for one of the aircraft manufacturers we represent. Just gotta step up and take initiative!
Cool story! Thanks for
Great story, Owen. Saying “Yes” is a big part of having a great aviation career!
Great story and awesome flight! Thanks!
Great story about your becoming a Piaggo pilot...and a beautiful sunset on this flight.
What a sunset. As beautiful as the plane you were flying
Awesome video! Keep doing more stuff like this!
Smooth operator. Best ride-along aviation CZcamsr of them all. No competition.
great video as always...the sunset was the topper. safe travels.
Best pilot I have seen. Love the videos.
Yes incredible sunset oh so jealous. I loved hearing about how you got in that seat thank you. Really big fan love to see your success your and inspiration to young people Owen thanks for letting us see these flights 👍🏼
Love your camera angles, good work! Amazing flight
Interesting story about you getting to fly the Piaggio. I always liked hearing that "snarl" from those pusher props when one of them flew into my local airport(HVN). I don't remember the last time that I heard that sound. It's been years. Thanks for posting your flight and talking about your experience. You never know when "that opportunity" will come along.
10:18 I love these situations where the universe presents a door and you just casually walk through it into something amazing
Excellent videography and editing as always!
The Avantti is an amazing piece of engineering !
Awesome flight! I went from fueling a Piaggio to flying one as well! Great airplane!
Another home run with this video! Never fails, love the channel brotha! 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Thanks for watching!
Enjoyed your story and enjoyed the flight.
Hi from 🇬🇧 great videos. Thanks for sharing your journey.
Very cool to hear the story thanks for sharing that.
Perfect Sunday morning video to watch before my IFR flight lesson.
Great Video Owen ❤️❤️Absolutely Stunning Aircraft 👍👍
Way to get that gear up!! Thanks for the flight!
If I had it to do over again!! I love the P180 EVO! Thanks for the ride! Enjoyed your story!!
Great video Owen, what a view!
What a machine, and what a pilot!
digging the cockpit POV
Thanks!
Very cool story! Excellent aircraft!!!
Great story Owen, thanks for sharing! I saw 2 Piaggio's on the ramp at KABQ a couple weeks ago. Love those planes. Took a pic with our 182 parked next to them.
Its really cool how the rear gear folds up into the fuselage on the Piaggio! It's like a little fighter jet. LOL I'd love to see one live, I never really understood the canard thing. "Flap down" for lift to raise the nose? Very cool airplane!! Thanks! --gary
Great videos to watch & I think very inspiring to young people wanting to get started.
Awesome life story. You seem to be a very proficient pilot. Right time, right place, right two people!
Done with real style Thank you.
Love your channel. We wish you would post videos more frequently.
Such an unusual aircraft but so very cool as well! Fun watching you sir!

I cant be the only one that thought he had a dog over his shoulder at :44 for a second lol.? Absolutely sick camera work having inside and outside angles was beautiful!
