West Coast 7: Veteran Fuel Stop
Vložit
- čas přidán 8. 09. 2022
- The end is nearing for our Fun West Coast Flying trip. This is the second half of the leg from Albuquerque to our planned fuel stop in Great Bend, Kansas. For the other pilots, I'd highly recommend this place. The FBO is owned by a veteran, he provides excellent service, pricing is great and it's a nice long runway that is easy in/out.

Have been following you guys for years! I sure miss the adventure’s! Was like going on vacation just watching your videos. Miss you!
Obviously, they don’t miss their subscribers.
Are they even still alive ? Haven’t heard a single word from them in like 2 or 3 years. Complete radio silence 🤐
Guessing she left him and took the plane with her. 😆
@@johndanger79 They were selling the plane dn about the relationship
@shadyscruples7161 I've heard unconfirmed reports that both of them as ATC controllers during a huge shortage during the couples of pandemic affected years causes them to work a lot of hours that they could not keep up with the channel. I personally think it's a little crappy to just go full-ghost on your subscribers that have supported the channel for years. Even just a quick vid explaining life has changed and the channel has been shelved and thanks for all the support. No personal reasons are needed. But they just went with ghosting.
Your channel is my number one. I hope what's on your horizon will continue to be aviation. I can't fly anymore so it gives me a chance to enjoy it thru your adventure. Good luck and best wishes.
Missing you guys, yours was the first channel on flying I ever watched and you got me hooked! Thankyou both for that and hope you both are doing well.
I hope all is well. Thank you for giving us a glimpse into your life and family. Be safe!
Great Video As Always Kevin And Jaime, Hope All Is Well With You Guys
Guys you guys are the best thing I could watch for the past two years. I do the repeat thing all the time. I am a private pilot hoping to do some trips ( even if it solo ) this spring of 24 and your videos are still awesome to watch. Hope all is well with you all , miss you.
Nice too see u again glad your well.
Enjoy your flight over America.
Very nice as always you guys!! Oh they released the 310 for MSFS and and wow what a fun plane to fly!!
Really miss the fresh content you used to post. Plane and hangar gone, I know. Life moves on. I suspect we won't be seeing you again...so thank you for the memories and Go Dawgs!
Thanks for uploading. I’m from GCK just NW off Dodge and used to train out of KTQK. Thanks for visiting this part of the country. I appreciate you taking the time to upload content. I hope it inspires you to continue your aviation ventures sometime in the future.
It's a shame you guys gave it up. Such an I inspiration you guys are. No pressure. But miss you guys.
Great Bend is my fuel stop on my round trips from Denver to Tulsa to see family a few times a month. Love the line team at Great Bend!
Love Your Channel And Videos!
Hope All Is Well, I See You Sold The Plane, Wish You Luck With Your Future Endeavors!
Love You Guy’s!
Thanks for the jump seat - looking forward to the last leg home.
Pronounced "Lar-ned.". Your flying over my old stomping grounds... I learned to fly off the grass strips at Haviland and Greensburg. For practice at a "big airstrip" I flew touch and goes at Pratt.Granddparents lived in Dodge City. Love watching you guys.
Hope you guys are doing well, thanks for posting regular content. Thank you Kevin & Jamie
Your comment aged like a fine milk.
@@ydoucare55 🤣
I’m glad I found your channel. It’s great with the exception occasional UGA logo showing up. Roll Tide!!
I love this channel. Miss your videos!!
Gosh, I sure miss you guys.
Please keep making your 📹 of you and Jamie flying around the country on your fun adventures.
Always looking forward to your next adventure!
It's been close to 3 months. I suspect there will be nothing more on the channel, not even the completion of this trip. I hope i'm wrong.
@@davidfrench5407 I have this feeling that they have closed up shop and packed up and left.
Dodge City is my home airfield and Great Bend is a fun place to land. There are a lot of cool airfields in Kansas. Salina is a great stop as well.
Always enjoy hearing the radio calls. The behind the scenes stuff is always cool.
Visited this channel again hoping for new content.. I loved it and I am not even a plane enthusiast.
Some are saying they got divorced.
I enjoyed the flight! After you stopped for fuel I can’t find another video. Hope you guys are ok! I sure do appreciate and enjoy your channel ! Take care!👍❤️
Totally understand about the altitude sickness. We learned the hard way but now understand when that feeling starts. We make a few trips each year in the Motorhome from TN to CA which takes us across the Continental Divide. Wife gets headaches even while we are moving.
Thanks for the ride. I certainly miss the regular ones that you posted. I haven’t missed any and some several times. Hope you get another plane and start again.
Anyone else still hoping to see the end of this trip? I really miss this channel. Hope all is well, sad to see the plane sold etc. But I understand. This was one of the few channels that I really looked forward to. You are missed.
Same here from Sweet Home Alabama. Still enjoy your videos and miss seeing you on here. God Bless you and your family. Dwight Elliott, John 10:10.
Good morning from Minnesota! Great episode!
Merry Christmas to you and your family 310 Pilot! Safe travels and thank you so much for the great content!
Gonna really miss the 1BC videos... Can't wait to see what comes next!
Great Bend airfield has some cool history. It was an Army Air Corp training base during the war. In the 60's the old runway was used as a dragstrip and hosted the 1st sanctioned NHRA race. It still operates today as a nostalgia event. Neat place to visit, with lots of videos on CZcams.
Thanks for the ride.
I always check the fuel after I fuel because me and my dad stopped in Chattanooga to drop off my mom and sister and got fuel to head to Knoxville via the fuel truck and they had there tank open during a major rain storm and they pumped gallons of water into our airplane we got to 500 feet and it quite it was a fun little turn around and land we were in a Comanche not a good time... lol. So I always check for water after I fuel. Just a little bit of info to hopefully help you out in those situations. Good video and thanks for sharing it with us.
Miss you guys.
Used to do a lot of snow skiing in Mammoth mountain Base 9000 ft, top of the mountain 11,000 ft. Got over altitude sickness the first year, Never had it again, continued to ski there at those altitudes many years.
Craig Best is right. My Army buddy was the one fueling the plane. He runs the FBO and A&P shop there. Was just there to see see him in July myself. Cool history there. That big hangar is the last B-29 hangar left. All the smokestacks you see used to have a hangar attached to them.
great vid guys light and love
Always an adventure...hope all is well Kevin.
Hope you two are doing well. Your videos were the best. It makes you feel good seeing a young couple enjoy life, hope you still are!
Divorced and sold the plane
@@jigity7598 That stinks but it happens.
@@jigity7598Are you serious?
Wow, didn't know that!
N771BC is now registered to someone in Ohio.
Both y’all are great !
I wanted to share that I'm not into aviation at all. However, I find myself drawn to watching aviation videos. I'm personally terrified of flying, so you won't catch me on a plane any time soon! It's quite amusing, but I can't explain why I enjoy these videos. Keep up the great work in aviation, and always prioritize safety. Your videos are undeniably cool. Hook 'em Horns!"
Well, after a year of 2 watching ALL your vids in uploaded order, this is it, finally finished watching everything. Sad the last leg of this tour hasn't been online yet. I know about the plane and hangar are sold, but hoped to have more updates on the channel anyway. I really gonna miss you guys, you're the best. Felt like family. I hope you're still living happily ever after and are healthy. Thanks for all the excitement on this channel. I hope to see you someday again. Greetz from the Netherlands (EU).
Did they sell the plane and hanger? What's up with that?
@@PyChip Almost two years ago at this point i was thinking there was a couple videos still coming but they might have shut down ,the web store link doesn't work either, maybe a family issue or were done with the visibility
@@jdhiner1 Thanks man! I google the tail number and see that they had sold the plane.
@Shamboom which other sites?
Per Pilots of America
“He told us at one of our midwest meetups last winter that they were severely short staffed and having to work 6 days a week with very limited time off. They also bought a new house on some acreage iirc and had a lot of work to do getting the new place set up. With all that there just wasn't any time for the airplane, which also meant no content to feed yt. I think he was kind of tired of the yt thing anyway. He has a friend at ARR with a 340 that he can fly; I was kind of hoping he'd keep the videos up with that, but I can understand the time issue. I hope that with covid winding down and FAA hiring and training again, things will get less crazy for them and we'll see him dragging trees out of the woods at Rough River again.”

Oh wow so that's the 310! I hope you know this livery was made for MSFS and I use it all the time! Lovely design and colors!
Learned pronounced Lar - Ned. It’s an old US army fort town. There is a museum fort there with a garrison fence and everything. Think “Dances With Wolves” era. Great place to look at old west Kansas.
Thanks for your videos 👍
I also miss you guys! I and so meany others love to follow your family regarding ATC and flying!
Please let us know how you are doing!!
Ron W.
Glad to see you guys back.
Loved your flight over Kansas! My home state. I now live in England so I do miss the dry sunny high plains of Western Kansas.
Do you miss the 30-40 mph winds? I live in SW Kansas and the wind makes me cranky.:))
The videos are good and when Jamie is in the cockpit, the videos are great. Your sense of humour, your singing and upbeat attitude is fun to watch. So, great video guys Be well you two. 🥰
*Jaime*
Fantastic content as always!
Missing these guys a lot, i always watched all the vids, hope you guys and family are ok.
Just watching this episode again, and like Mr. Miller, we are missing you guys. Give us a hint what is happening. Take care. Gunny and Linda
They sold the plane. They’re channel is done. Move along.
@@SnoDawg Thanks. Do you know them personally? Will they have a new channel? Are they buying a new plane? A new car? A new house? Moving back to Georgia? Alaska? Are they divorced like some in this group are saying? Are you getting tired of my questions?
@@michaelburke9153 he said over a year ago, no new plane, they don’t have time to fly anymore with their work schedules. According to him it’s as simple as that
@@doomsday9973 Thank you.
i miss them
Always love the sound of 1BC's engines! That was a long flat approach and R/W!! Very cool!! 8) --gary
I do really become friends. I rurunn the big 8 late model in Wisconsin and Illinois. And starting another business in SC. Thank you for taking time to talk to me. So that would be a no?
Miss you guys. Hope you’re all doing well.
I admire america. So majestic !
absolutely loved the harm of the engines
While this flight was from last year, I want to recall what happened to Kim when she was flying with Kristoffer and they were at about the same altitude and she had some real issues with O2 levels and what they did to her. Kristoffer had said, and from my own experiences with women, I've seen the same thing, that women seem to have a lower tolerance for altitude versus men. That's a general statement, and of course individuals are different. However, if you're flying over 7,500', a pulse oximeter is a nice little device to have along for the pilot and all the people on board, unless you're flying a pressurized airplane.
Kevin, thanks for still posting these videos, even though 1BC is gone. I hope that you and Jamie and the kids are doing well, and that you're still getting some flight time, of one sort or another.
Once when I was flying back to El Paso from Las Vegas, all the passengers went into hypoxia and the woman on board had a severe headache.
We had no oxygen on board, but were very well adapted to the high altitude, having lived in El Paso for about 9 months. Density altitude was at least 4000 feet every day, very often much higher.
The problem on this flight was that the passengers had a great brunch with champagne and the female passenger had smoked a cigarette just before the flight.
I learned in a special aviation medicine course that one cigarette is enough to reach an oxygen level equivalent to flying at 6000 feet. That would mean consuming oxygen even at sea level during night flights and at about 3000 to 4000 feet during the day for longer flights.
Years later, I did a video on that flight, and in researching it, I found out that the carbon monoxide that comes from smoking, or if you have a problem on board with carbon monoxide getting into the cabin, doesn't show up on a pulse oximeter.
So you would have to measure the oxygen level, monitor the carbon monoxide in the cabin air, but to be on the safer side, you would also have to pay a lot of attention to the symptoms and fly suitable to the weakest person on board. In my case, that was the woman who had champagne and a cigarette before the flight. I was several thousand feet too high for her....
@@usernogo excellent reply. While not a current pilot, having an electronic CO2 detector on board versus the little dots would be preferable to me. Too many accidents from CO2 poisoning even with those static detectors, and that's at low altitude.
@@GaryMCurran Exactly, I also rely only on the electronic detector. For me a good flight is associated with good health. If there are unexpected disturbances in the condition on board or in the process of flying, the flight is simply terminated at the next airfield and then we just see what happens instead...
I was also curious about them having a Co2 monitoring device. Being closed in I would think it would be a good idea to have one.
Take care,
Be safe.
@@deanmiles3505 one of the things be aware of its the heating systems on most airplanes are not the same kind that we are used to in automobiles. On a single engine airplane they are basically muffs that are wrapped around the exhaust. So, an exhaust leak, while very small, can still put a lot of carbon monoxide into the cabin. Twins usually use a gasoline fired heater in the nose and again, a small leak can put a lot of carbon monoxide into the cabin.
When I was flying we didn't have all the great avionics and electronics we do today. We had those little stick on detectors which would turn either blue or pink if there was carbon monoxide in the cabin. But, if you weren't monitoring them, you'd never know. That's why the electronic versions are so much better. They are more sensitive and more of accurate, and will tell you when things are getting bad.
I don't know if you are aware of this or not, so please forgive if I'm pointing out the obvious to you.
That sure is a nice looking airplane with the paint job on it
I REALLY miss you guys... come back please.
Good luck with that 😂
This airport was likely built as a Army Air Base in World War II. B-29 bombers were built in Wichita and there were many air bases spread throughout southern Kansas where the planes were ferried out and pilots would train.
You are correct. My Army buddy, guy fueling the plane, runs the fbo there and has the A&P shop there.
I just love watching you video and honestly your a heck of pilot. Iam also getting vfr lying but I was kind of wanting to use mine if you say it's a good buy?
That is if wouldj
I am 55 and my is 62. I am Brian and my wife's name is penny. I own my own business
One more leg home. Love all of your vids. Waiting to see what you both have in store for the future. Makes me wanna go out and buy another 310
It's for sale...
Or was.
@@deanmiles3505 did they quit flying? I used to watch all their videos but have not for some time
@JW I think that Kevin said they took on new careers like a new location or something. The plane would not get the flying on the airframe it should have, and I believe they sold the 310 for now. I loved watching their videos too.
I watch Trent Palmer and the flying cowboys. I like a lot of the military videos also.
Lately I've been watching Canadian preper videos.
Take care,
Be safe.
@JW I believe they put things on hold. New jobs, unable to fly
Enough to justify the plane right now. They will re-asess in the future.
Take care,
Be safe.
FOR THE BOYS :) thanks for that . Y’all look great !
About Kansas, My wife and her sister grew up in Lawrence; her father was head of the archives dept at the University of Kansas. Go Jayhawks!
That’s what’s up lotta love from Sharon springs NY
Love you two
Miss you guys.😢
Same here 😢
Miss you guys😢
I'm so glad you guys are still doing your videos, it's so interesting following your flights and activities! Kevin is such a professional pilot and Jamie is such a professional side kick.
Miss you Both doing your Great videos. Love the lingo taking off and landing.
Missing your videos, hope all is well with you guys and have great holidays.
Same here. It appears that they might have packed up and left. Would be really nice if they would at least update their loyal long time subscribers like myself and many others instead of just being silent and keeping everyone in the dark.
@@shadyscruples7161 most of the recent video are filmed 6 to 8 month before the release date I think and a year ago they released a video saying they are selling the plane and hangar : czcams.com/video/c1OOhyB8flQ/video.html&ab_channel=310Pilot
Thanking you once again for all those great videos. Hope you're all well! Missing you guys..any chance you'll be back?
Odds are pretty good that you’ll not get a reply from them.
Hi, what’s up with you Kevin and Jamie?
I’ve been watching for more videos from you guys. I hope all is well!👍
We sure miss your videos !
Well now you’ve landed in Kansas twice, we saw the first one-ha!!
Adding to the other sentiments, we miss you guys... Time for another airplane!!!!
Hey guys.. I miss ya'lls videos.. Gooo Dawgs
I really hope everything is well! We need more videos!
Good luck with that 😂
Some of the comments said they got divorced and had to sell the plane.
ohhhhhh damn@@shadyscruples7161
Dear Kevin and Jaime. I have not seen you guys in a while. I hope the good Lord is looking over you and yours, and are keeping you both safe and warm. I hear that Hope Springs Eternal. So I am Hopeful that one day, you and yours will reappear with new stories, tales, and maybe an improved aircraft. Not to say that it was anything wrong with your Cessna 310. Shucks ! Wish I had one.😀 I Love the rapport that you have, and your great videos. You're my CZcams Hero's, and you are Greatly missed. Talking about living vicariously through the lens of your camera work. Wishing you all the BEST. Peace and Love.
Interesting watch. Several years ago I lived in Great Bend and worked for the Fire EMS department. We use to train with the CRF team at the airport.
Missed you guys at Oshkosh
Missing your channel so much. Hope you all are okay
Dang, I hope you guys are doing ok. Hope to see you back at it again.
Ghosted everyone but still has 243 THOUSAND Subscribers. Very impressive, residual income right there & still selling merch to boot. Love the C310, we had two and they are an amazing airplane for the money :). Perhaps they will come back online down the road?
I think the most cattle spot was the Abilene Dodge City was one of them too but mostly Abilene
That’s a sweet 310. Someday I’ll be able to afford one. Someday…
I am looking forward to seeing Kevin & Jaime. I searched the tail number in the FAA database & it shows the aircraft was sold to a person in Ohio.
I'm in Ohio. Will keep my eye out for it. his channel all brought us so much enjoyment and the re-runs will live on forever. Happy flying.
310 Pilot , I hope all is well since there has not been any new videos.. Happy thanksgiving
Hope you guys are well........missing my airtime.
The lady keeps yawning, what a nice and polite view
I’m sure she is the reason they sold
10:57 Ugh......Sounded SO GOOD!
I’ll bet you guys will be happy to get back home
Hope ya'll are doing well. hope you come back some day.
Enjoy watching your videos. Is there another plane in your future?
Sorry to hear that but thanks for the update. Life goes on I guess
That one recent answer is garbage. I don't think anything happened to them, Kevin said they were selling the plane. They're both ATC, and ATC is overworked, and they were each working 6 day weeks.
@@davidfrench5407I’m hearing they got divorced
@@shadyscruples7161 Thats just a BS rumor.
Man just saw you sold 771BC, miss you guys, and hope you're back soon!
Sold it about 12 months ago, early 2022. FAA changed the registration in the summer of 2022. He claimed he would finish the videos for this trip, but it's been almost 5 months, so I suspect Kevin has vanished.
Miss your videos. 😊
Yeah...happy thanksgiving to you too.......
Wish I could do radio like you two...
They’re both air traffic controllers.
Didn't N771BC get sold a while back. If so, I hope you guys pick up another plane and keep rolling with the videos.
