- Fly with me to Texas from Canada on my first ferry flight for Premier Aircraft Sales in the DA20!
Day 2 includes a morning of de-icing, two fuel stops, and my arrival into San Angelo, Texas Skyline ASU to complete my ferry flight. It was a full 8 hour work day to say the least.

If I could offer a suggestion to make ferry flight videos a little more interesting, just maybe a look from over your shoulder at the panel or over the cowl from time to time would break up the single fixed camera viewpoint. No one is going to get tired of looking at you but as long as you’re taking us along, please let us see some of what you’re seeing as well. Thanks for posting.
Just stumbled on this channel and I have to say, it's my favorite aviation channel right now. Very back to basics and I love your sense of humor and attitude. Well done!
Thankyou!!
You are setting a great example on how to fly safely.
Great video. I love your calm nature in flight, checklist call outs, radio calls, and cockpit Management. I learn the things I do right in the diamond, the things I can do better, and the things I’ve never done and should through your posts. Safe flight, Hayley. I’m a big fan. 😊
Great video Hayley! You are perhaps the only pilot I’ve ever seen smile while announcing a 40kt headwind 😮 Not having an autopilot for such a long flight is tough but keeps you on your toes especially when you’re by yourself. The 40 is the sedan, the 20 is the sports car! Nice snack haul for the final leg, cup holder for your coffee? The plane’s shadow as you touched down in San Angelo was amazing, I hope you caught that. Right seat was a bit crowded but thanks for taking me along 🤗 BTW…love your “radio” voice!
Catching the shadow in the sunset was a great perspective.
I'm NOT a pilot but I "LOVE" aircraft. I'm an old(er) guy and it was always a dream but an unrealized dream. Thank you for sharing your flights and the processes. Even if I never learn to fly, I'm learning the language and methods by watching and listening. It's the next best thing! Thank you SO very much. There are many channels I follow and I recently found and added yours. May your skies always be clear and the wind calm. Thanks again !!!
That last landing has a cool view of a tall shadow of the plane.
Well done! I dig the long haul pro tip: gummi worms and coffee. If you come back through Nashville again say hi! Enjoyed meeting you last year for a sec and getting shown around the rockstar Diamond.
What a great channel. The fun years of aviation.
Liked the shadow of your plane off the left wing. San Angelo has special memories from AF days.
There's nothing like flying parallel to an interstate into a headwind and watching the cars pass me!
ALSO, it was way cool seeing your plane's shadow as you touched down!
Loving the videos, you are Gorgeous smart with a good sense of humor.
The visibility from the Diamond is just amazing. I enjoy your videos, a lot, your love of aviation really comes through. Looking forward to more. 🌷
Love it!!!
Ardmore has some good mom and pop restaurants. Thumbs up 👍
Would enjoy seeing more of your ferry flights, cheers and Happy Holidays!
I did a pair of discovery flights in a DA 20 when I was taking soaring lessons. That was almost 20 years ago. I think it was a great trainer. And fun to fly.
I got the privilege of flying a Jabiru from Central Cal to Redwing MN in one day. I had a 11 hr flying day, it was fantastic!
Fun flight you made with that nice DA 20. Thanks for taking us along!
Very well done, Hayley. Keep them coming.
Great fun flying with you!
Great "greaser" landings, Hayley! Especially that tricky crosswind in MO. Thanks for taking us along!
Great Video Hayley and happy holidays with love from Liverpool UK.
Great Video, inspiring to get flying. Also its interesting this loose of Layers, keeps watching the Video till end :-)))))
Thanks for the trip and nice flying! ✈️
I love flying but dang that was a long day! Stay safe and thank you for my flying fix for the day!
Another great video Hayley. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Thanks so very much for sharing your experience and your nice trip and please keep on making your videos and as always fly safely
Great Flying! Great video!
Great accomplishment and a great video.
Hayley…..nice video and all your landings were so smooth. Wish I could have flown with you. Thanks for sharing.
Good morning from Minnesota! Great episode it was super fun to watch your Shadow come in and meet you at the runway on your last Landing
Just started watching your videos - love it.
Enjoy your flight and happy birthday to your grandma!
Another great video
thanks for answering the comment I gave, I am not a pilot but enjoy watching the the view from videos like you are making thanks for the nice videos
Great video, great video production…
Good conversation and excelant landing
The deicing reminded me of when I tried to help scrape frost off of a composite wing with a credit card! The humidity was such that the cold wing refrosted as fast as we scraped it off! Alcohol much better!!
It's a bit mind-boggling that that teeny layer of frost completely kills lift...🫨
Nice video, seems lot of fun :)
Awesome flight
Hello Hayley, My congratulations once again on your brilliant flying by your DA 20 ferry flight across the country. You will be a successful pilot Hayley someday
Great job
Yay for Naples and your grandma. I grew up in Naples :)
Nice, well done.
Great video..
You did a great job
Thanks Haley!
quickly becoming a hugh fan of yours , even though I’m not a pilot, and I love your level of professionalism. Clearly it shows how much you love your piloting and “ferrying”career! Kudos to you Hayley. I’ve always been drawn and fascinated W aviation, however, at 68 yrs (young) I most likely will only get as close to flying in a simulator. :). Keep making your awesome videos please . And hope one day you can find your way to PWM (Portland, Maine USA). :)
really cool footage and vlog! I'm a fan and a subscriber :)
Enjoyed your video and in particular, your landing at our small airport in San Angelo. I know a few students of ASU who attend Skyline and I have watched them flying as I play golf near the airport.
Very nice video. Thanks for sharing this awesome experience. You make me want to fly a DA20. In the future I'd like to see some video of the panel and view out over the cowling (hand held cell phone video when the workload is low, would be fine). Years ago I stopped at KSJT in a C150 on my commercial long cross-country.
I love these small airports in the middle of nowhere USA. Near my home is Greybull,Wyoming and Cowley. Cheaper fuel than home field. Really cool at sunset. Not a sound. Bighorn mountains in the background . No where else in the world has so many small municipal airports. Canada, Australia and New Zealand have them. Hope they’re still here in 100 years.
Ardmore was a regular stop for us when I was a kid. We would camp and Lake Murray.
Wish we had got to see more of the trip.
Excellent vlog, it was very enjoyable. In the future, you may consider a forward-view camera too. Maybe you could include a little information about the airports you visit, especially neat little facilities. You might mention the runway length and width and a little something, with images of the facility itself. I love flying into these little airports when I fly cross country but I leave time to chat a little to the staff. Neat stuff. Keep up your work.
Excellent video! What great weather to fly in. . . It’s even more impressive watching you go effortlessly through your checklist flows without reading them - is that all committed to memory and does that confidence come from being a commercial pilot?
Hello Hayley. Your Day 1 video did a much better job to show the audience the transitions of different terrains and the approach at each airport. Future pilots can use that video to learn a lot about flying VFR, as going around the weather, but using a some IFR flying technics to increase safety. Regards.
My longest flight may have been from east of Tampa Florida to Colorado Springs. That was in an RV-6A with two-axis autopilot. I generally cruised over 10,000' to get smooth cool air and less chance of other traffic. I did have supplemental oxygen which I used often.
Hope to see you at Frontier airlines in the near future!
Loved your content, and yes please see if you can a camera pointing forward and to the panel. Have fun and safe travels
I liked that you knew why the rpms were lower climbing out of your fuel stop. I aborted a take off as a student pilot during a solo because I hadn't been taught that you don't make full rpm while dragging a plane down the runway. LOL Keep up the good work!
Hi there Hayley. Fun watching you fly! I am really impressed with your greaser landings and thorough , not rushed, use of the checklists. Do you visually check the free travel and position correctness of flaps for both wings on your pre-takeoff check?
Sorry for having a headwind most the time, it's difficult in a DA20 .... you managed great 😀
27:15 "how do you hear?" "say again?" well, that answers that question 😆
Great videos. I'm enjoying this ferry flight. What are your thoughts on the use of flight following for longer XC flights? I know it's optional, just curious as you mentioned monitoring guard and I'm curious about your experiences with flight following vs guard as another layer of safety on these flights.
Hi Hayley, I am new to your channel and enjoying it. I agree with one of the comments of having a camera looking at the panel once in a while would be nice. BTW have you met ferry pilot Micke Lang he flies from the factory in Austria. Safe travels.
I hope you will have more frequent videos.
What is this magic? That thing flys without coffee? What? :)
Very nice videos with nice smiles. Hayley.your description is very interesting. It is suggested to occasionly make a change by showing the outside of the plane by tilti ng camera in different positiins instead of keeping it fixed at one position all the time
Love your videos. Music is sometimes a little high. Audio seems to cut in and out on the right channel. Keep up the great work!
🛫
“Long-ass wings” - that’s an industry term?
Happy Holidays Ley.
😂 no but it sure is true. Diamond’s DNA is gliders!
They really are long. I think the engine out procedure should read - immediately look for a landing spot in the next county!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Are you aware that when you cross the state line into Oklahoma, you are REQUIRED to sing the song "Oklahoma!" for us? It's in the FAA regulations!!
As a curiosity, I guess you don't pee during that 5 hour flight :) I'll take a discovery flight tomorrow, so maybe I'll join the Aviation crowd too. Better late than never!
Does Diamond Aircraft have any plans to add sun visors to their aircraft interiors? That would be tricky to fly on a sunny day I'd imagine. But, that wraparound windshield is probably amazing when the bright sun isn't an issue.
Like Hayley's comments...
Is this your favorite plane in this segment? I was just looking at some of Diamond's other models. Autopilot seems like a must have.
Wow! That approach at KADM looked rough! Turbulence is one thing I'm not a fan of.
you might like a charging stick for your phone, I got mine from amazon, lots to chose from
Plane looks slippery lol ..ur handling it smooth like a waffle
Awesome videos. I love the commentary along the flight. Why do you play music as you approach landing???
How did you get in to doing ferry flights? I’m wanting to do that. I’m retired from the army after 26 years on active duty. I have no desire to fly for the airlines. Would love to do ferry flights as a side gig in retirement. Taking my commercial check ride on 4 Jan. Did entire commercial in the DA40 - I love this plane.
Did you fly VFR, whole flight ??? ps- loved the music!
I thought DA20 were VFR only planes
Loving these videos Hayley, I'm enjoying catching up on all these cool trips. Thanks for taking us along 🤙
Going to Bentonville Arkansas from Lexington and flew over StLouis?!?!
We get to enjoy flying with you as you ferry planes from the manufacturer in Canada to the States. Thank you, but that always raises the question, how do you get back to Canada? Do you fly on a commercial flight? If so, it has to be a bear getting from the small airports where you deliver to an airport major enough to have significant commercial traffic schedule. Do you have a passport from Canada or is it from the USA? You are going to fill up that passport with rubber stamps with two for each plane you deliver across the border. I have to say, yours is probably the most interesting aviation channel on the internet! Keep up the good work!! Ignore the trolls which love to discourage every interesting channel on the internet!! Please do not let them discourage you!! Keep recording! Keep editing! Keep publishing! Keep up the good work you have been doing!! Your fan base is counting on you!! T H A N K Y O U ! ! !
I'll be your passenger, Always wanted to learn how to fly
14 year military aviation service tech at CFB Cold Lake
You mentioned 'Fuel Burn' but you don't mention indicated GPM very often during the flight legs.
Correction 'GPH' - sorry.
Can you put the link in here for the flight school?
I’m new to your channel
What do you think is the hardest question/part while doing the private pilot’s written exam?
if you come to ca stop at ksbd
What is your go to music while flying
If only I had a girlfriend that flew planes. Pretty chill and informative when learning cros country flying and obeying the airspace rules.
Is she a Longhorn or Aggie?
Grandpa was in Civil Air Patrol.
Uncle was my instructor.
Does this plane have an heater
1:36 When the temperature is being called out, it seemed to be in Celsius. I know America and Liberia are the only countries still using the outdated Fahrenheit, but in flying, do they use Celsius?
With the music playing at that volume, I couldn’t understand either the controller or you.
when you fuel the plane your self is there something that grounds the plane to prevent a spark.
there is yes! you attach a cable to the aircraft before fueling.
I see you are flying VFR does that mean you don't have your IFR ticket or was it just faster, I found out the other day you can get your commercial without being IFR as long as you have the hours in
the DA20 is not certified for IFR! My next video in the DA40 Tundra I fly IFR 😊 it’s an important rating to get, learned so much from it.
Do you always fly solo or do you fly with any passengers?
