Thank you to Garmin, Neal Aviation, and ArtCraft for sponsoring this video!
Today, we're starting a five-day trip from California to Wisconsin to bring my 1949 Cessna 140A to EAA AirVenture! On day one, we'll fly from Camarillo, CA to Mesa, AZ with fuel stops at Palm Springs, CA and Buckeye, AZ. With busy Socal and Phoenix airspace, temperatures upwards of 100℉, and a light, squirrelly tailwheel airplane, this was not an easy flight!
Thanks for watching!

Still can’t get over how great this plane looks.
ArtCraft and Neal Aviation did a fantastic job. True craftsmanship!
@@bayflightGreat vid, as always love to see you in a SE5a or Sopwith Camel You are a natural Even a Mustang is doable
@@bayflight I could never do that afraid of heights I tell my friends I am more into subs and how much lower can you get than that
Love the videos one question how many planes do you own
Your Cessna is awesome but I love your Bonanza
I miss flying. I’m retired now, but videos like this help me relive the old days.
So happy that 77A ended up getting another chance - love the restoration job Stevie. From previous owners (Vancouver, Canada).
Thank you so much!!!
@@bayflightLove you so much babe
You do a great job on the frequency requesting advisories from ATC. You have them all your info without any excessive info. This makes it easy for ATC not having to play 20 questions! Nice job! (30 years ATC retired)
Really enjoy how you edit your videos. Makes it fun to ride along with you. Nicely done.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it!
Yes, and thanks for including the whiptail @ 14:55 💛
What a beautiful plane, I love the digital instruments in their old style holders!
Thank you so much!! Neal Aviation did a stellar job on the panel!
Stevie, The plane looks and flies great! Looking forward to watching your journey to the show! Would be great if you did some videotaping at the show…love your videos…beautiful times, beautiful woman! Stay safe, healthy and enjoy! 🌹👍
Becarful you might hit into godzilla from godzilla -1
That panel looks awesome! Love the vintage look with modern features
Stevie’s verbal checklist discipline has literally inspired me to follow suit and do the same when flying. Very smart and safe pilot.
I have to agree. I'm not a pilot, but the way she's so methodical is really cool. That's the way to operate aircraft.
Well, she's an engineer, so it stands to reason.
@@tetedur377electrical or mechanical?? Do you know....curious? Seems mechanical but, funny feeling she's an electrical....no...no, got to be mechanical! Do you know??
software engineer
@@3890polarnight thx
How the hell does she has only 200k? She should be over a million subs! I'm not even into aviation but the quality of her content really got me subscribed to her channel! Keep going Lady! You're killing it! Love from Paris!
300k now 😁
@@marcreese34 Million now (🍒🍑ftw)
Love riding along with you and the red carpet treatment for you getting out of your plane!
The color scheme and retro design of your plane is absolutely epic. Seen it a couple of times now, but never gets old.
Epic? It’s cool, but not epic.
Yeah it looks great but the red and silver had more retro character.
@Stevie Triesenberg the Telegram bots are here
I guess it is timeless
I know nothing about flying and have no idea why this vid popped up in my feed but.....WOW. I went thru a whole gambit of emotions watching this ...from sheesh what an adorable young lady to the camera view of her in plane and feeling like a dad watching his daughter driving off to college for first time to her donning sun glasses, headset and turning full boss that is clearly an extremely smart and accomplished pilot. subbed...
Your airplane is absolutely beautiful. ❤ I really enjoy the style of your videos - it always feels like we are literally riding along in the airplane with you, enjoying the flight and fantastic scenery on the flight.
Yes I feel the same way, your review is very well written
350'/min not bad climb rate for a 140, especially on a hot day out of Palm Spr. Thanks for taking me along with you. That is a beautiful plane, sporting that outstanding rework.
350fpm makes me want to cry 😭
It's not hauling much weight compared to the beef that some of my friends are 🤣
I can only imagine the massive planning it took to pull this off! Thank you for all you do.....
planning for what
@brycegule3589 route planning. You don't do that huge of a cross country in a C140 without planning ahead of time.
@@r4raced4doom2you don’t do ANY cross country in ANY plane without some good flight planning.
@@kenthompson3730 semantics.
The little Cessna did great on the 1st leg of the journey. Safe travels always Stevie!
Thank you!
I never be proud of UA-camr like this young woman! Every parent envy your parents in good way! I promise myself I will complete my license before I become 50! I quit my training when my trainer stall a plane for 7 minutes at preliminary training! I got shaken so badly! I have to reconsider if I am good enough to handle stress situations while flying! Now I might be able to! That is 8 or 9 years ago! Nothing like be a pilot and flying all over as you wish! No airports or road’s shenanigans! Flying is safe than driving a car! ❤
You are a phenomenal pilot and a phenomenal video editor. Hands-down your aviation videos are the most enjoyable. I don’t say this often about UA-camrs but you’re very inspiring. You’re really making me want to go and get my private pilots license. I look forward to your future videos.
Such a cool plane. And the videos are awesome!
Thank you so much!
I dont know anything about flying but u are the cutest pilot i hve ever seen
Just surfing UA-cam and came across your vlog. I like it. I love airplanes, from commercial to private ones. I think I'll watch your trip to Osk Kosk. Watched other flight vlogs to this destination. Unbelievable air traffic as you get there. Thanks for sharing...🎥😎👍👌👊🙏🛩❤
Nice to see you again stevie, been a while since you were on UA-cam I have missed your fun aircraft adventures, much love happy flying ✌️❤️🇬🇧
Stevie - you're the Perfect Pilot! Congrats. to you for your abilities to articulate. I too used to fly out of Bracket and Cable; made many trips throughout So. Cal. Yes - it do get hot, making it very difficult to maintain altitude and stability, especially over the desert areas. I enjoy following your flights as it brings back my own memories. 😊👏🏻.
Great video. Well filmed and edited. I would argue that the only cookie in existence is oatmeal raisin. The rest are just wannabe cookies.
It’s crazy to see other ways people live this beautiful life in this day and age. Blessed.
This girl is absolute business. Very thorough, pretty voice and strict alert! Godspeed!
Traveling in a tiny airplane definitely adds a sense of adventure. Can't wait to see what Day 1 has in store for you. This is going to be an epic journey.... Eager to see more🤩🤩♥♥
There a lot of communication about air traffic. This is fun to watch!
Awesome video. Huge respect for all pilots and traffic control! Look forward to day 2 post!
Thank you so much! So grateful for ATC!
I’m not sure why I love your videos so much. I follow many aviation channels, but there’s something about your videos that is so inspiring. I wish we didn’t have to wait months in between your posts. Peace.
@@atatterson6992 Yeah, you’re right…it’s all pipes.
Because she's a cute girl? 😁
What an inspiration you are!!! You are a lot like my kids, who are about your age now. They grew up with 6 or 7 airplanes going through our inventory. We have a grass strip right here at the house in Chico CA. The most inconvenient thing of owning an airplane is keeping it at an airport.
My first plane was a Cessna 120. I didn't know how to fly anything. Paid $3000 for it in 1972. Painted it in a friend's Barn. Flight instruction was $4 per hour then, and gas was 45 cents for Av Gas. Car gas was 22 cents. A hanger was $30/mo, then, but that was too expensive so it stayed outside for $10 a month. We flew it from Chico Ca to Canada with only a "coffee grinder radio" -(Narco vht3) It got reception about when you could see the station. The only Nav aid we had was windows. A couple in between that and then a 1952 C model Bonanza!. I put about 850 hours on that Bonanza. (all those hours were on car gas) Loved it. My 4000+ hours were mostly in tail draggers. Over the years they included: A Helio Courier, Two Cessna 170s- one with 180hp and constant speed prop, a C150 Aeorbat converted to a tail dragger and a 150hp and constant speed prop, Cessna 120, A Tiger Moth, Interstate Cadet, a Glass Air 1, a BD5 which never flew, a KR2, and Pietenpol Air Camper. Then there was the Taifun motor glider (loved it too) and a Lake Buccaneer. We flew that Buccaneer from NY to CA, then the next year all over the west -Idaho mostly and Washington. It had a turbo so those 7000' altitude lakes were accessible. Lots of air plane camping!!
That C model Bonanza is darn good on the rough runways. Strong gear, slow stall speed, (about the G model saw an increase of 10mph in the stall speed) and a front wheel only a few inches behind the prop. This is important!!!! Un like the Moonies that have that wheel 2' behind the prop. -A divit will put the prop in the dirt! Ours landed on lots of dirt roads and Playas in Mexico. It had the Britton (20 gallon) tip tanks.
About 1980 I took a summer to fly the C170 with the 180hp to Alaska. There were no GPS things out yet. We filed flight plans up there with the local grocery store. We got about 200 miles up in the Arctic Circle, where the compass didn't work either. NV aids were the windows. IT was OK on the sand bars, but nothing like the Helio. The Helio has the only flight manual that states: If you have to land really short, lock the breaks first!.
Of the 14 planes I had over the years the Bonanza and Helio were the favorites. I could land that Helio on our front lawn!! - 286 feet long. That is amazing for a 6 place plane. It was a gas hog! And slow. Google: lawn toy helio courier for some good pics.
These days I get a lot of exercise looking for my car in the parking lot. Still a pilot though. First I cut the firewood, then I Pile it
This aircraft is in immaculate condition. The interior is beautiful. Well done. 👏🏼
Love this! I lost my pilot medical a few years ago, so watching pilots like yourself fly helps bring aviation back into my life the best it can haha.
How did you end up losing your medical?
I was going to take lessons a few years ago but I asked about the medical before signing up for lessons and having a-fib that comes and goes, I wouldn’t be able to pass the medical.
Yes the cutest pilot with a beautiful plane is back with a new video ❤
First video with Stevie, exceptional communication skills and not afraid of hand flying with minimal instruments. Nice change from P1D, I'm hooked!
Always good to ride or fly with someone! Glad u met up with someone.
How amazing the things youngsters can do now, rock on girl, your parents and family must be proud of you? Lots of love Steve ❤
Oatmeal raisin cookies are the best ❤
I moved to Camarillo in 1963, 10 years old ! I remember when it was Oxnard Air Force Base with fighter jets !! I towed my 1954 Chevy down the runway trying to start it during 'Auto Shop' at R.O.P. at the, by then, the civilian airport. Great Plane !! I learned in a 150 in '73. Great video ! At 6:10 I can see the house we lived in !! How cool ! Thanks for a Great visual !
I love how simple the plane is!! It’s so amazing inside and out ❤❤
Thanks for sharing your adventure, Stevie. Excellent aviation, beautiful plane, informative commentary and candour. Great to see you back online and looking forward to the next instalments!
Are you also learning airplane piloting skills?
Impressive video! It's truly inspiring to see such skill and confidence at the controls. Your flight was elegantly and gracefully executed, like a dance in the skies. And the airplane itself is a work of art! It perfectly complements your flying style. Keep up the great work, and I wish you many more safe and thrilling flights in the future!
Great video, as always Stevie. Thanks for having us along. I’m about halfway through ground school and you are motivating me. Thank you!
Completely charming, glad I flew along.
I made that flight a bunch back n the 90’s and early 2,000’s. I loved looking at all the patterns on n the desert. It is so different when seen from the air in a sweet little Cessna. I had a 150 and a 170. It all came to an end when Heart issues took away my Medical. I love watching videos like yours. Brings back a lot of great memories. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome! Great to see the plane in-person and meet you at AirVenture. Those folks in Santa Maria did a nice job!
Love your videos Stevie. The C-140 is a great old airplane and you've done a great job getting her ready for the long trip to KOSH and back to CA. So glad I got to meet you at AirVenture this summer.
Great commentary. Thanks for sharing ❤
I don't know why but I live in Albuquerque and I always get the thrill that somebody I have seen on UA-cam is flying over me
EAA AirVenture was five months ago. Gee Stevie, it’s almost like you have some sort of life outside of entertaining all of us!
😂😂😂
Love the interior. So clean. What a great little plane to fly!
Omg! You go girl. Just watching you fly this little plane made my heart skip a beat! I am so afraid of heights!
I am so glad to see up again, I enjoy your trips so much. You have created a great adventure for yourself and for us, keep it going kid. This old aero guy is in joy to see you bring competent youth back into our industry. It's so important. Thank you.
I've never seen gauges like that! I mean, you didn't have to gut it to put in bigger Garmin screens. And while you were turning they leveled too. Very impressive and encouraging! Because if one has a plane with old dials this is an option. Oh and very nice flying. Thanks for taking us on your adventure!
Glad to see some more posts!
Amazing flying, happy to be able to learn from you!
Hey Stevie this is my first video and you are an excellent pilot and a wonderful person! Your plane runs so smoooothly…Perfect! Thanks!
Great videos, excellent production quality, and as always, excellent airmanship! The scenery of cross country flights is always fun to watch and though I don’t get to fly much outside my home region, I appreciate flying vicariously through those of you who do.
Thank you so much! I appreciate the kind words! So grateful I have the opportunity to do these long cross country trips and share them with others!
I'm just a regular pilot.. You are an AMAZING pilot. Looking forward to the next flights.
This is so cool - congratulations on all your flying and success! Awesome video.
Great Pilot,great plane and amazing landscape, a pleasure to watch
Yay! New video. You're editing skills are awesome. Cool pilot, cool plane.
Beautiful looking plane. Perfect landing on all 3 stops! Fantastic flying. Thanks for sharing your journey. Cheers!
Great2 hear, I also thought the same, not2 mention the take offs & rotations!
Wow that view is so beautiful with the mountains when you’re up in the air
The plane looks beautiful, classic lines and colors.
Thank you, I love to virtually fly along with you!
Also, that drink had the same color pattern as you plane's interior 😂
Thank you for watching!! Haha yes! Always have to be color coordinated! 😂
The girl pilot with the best checklist check on the planet. Stevie has that gentle ladies touch with this beautiful old grandmother bird.
You have over 300,000 of us You Tubers following you, Stevie, but, I may be one of the few actually following you in yet another Cessna 140, this one in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004. I took off the other day from KCMA and got all the way across to just outside KPSP, but, ended up trying to climb a mountain to get to runway 31L and buried it at the top of the mountain. Not giving up, I went back to KCMA and took off in a Lear 45 to save time and ended up burying the nose at the end of RWY 31L. Still not giving up, I took off from "nearby" KRIV back in the Cessna 140 and this time greased it on RWY 31L. Today, I finally made it into KFFZ on RWY 4L and hope to start the second leg to KSOW and KABQ tomorrow. Boy, this is one low and slow ride! You make it look so easy!
This is SO awesome!! Low & slow all the way - definitely a long flight but it's the adventure of a lifetime!
@@bayflight I took the Cessna 140 from RWY 4R this time at KFFZ and it took maybe a half hour or more to reach cruising altitude of 9500 at 500 f/p/m. Climbed a lot of mountains today. VFR all the way with a lot of "have the traffic" calls to ATC. That part of AZ looks like the surface of the moon! Made it into KSOW safely just ahead of a Dash 8 on RWY 25, didn't realize final approach was over a lake! Next stop KABQ! More low and slow!
I love the way you are calm during that flight such an beautiful pilot 🤘
Love retro planes! Looking forward to more adventures :)
This girl is winning. Love her videos.
Yes, I have been following him for a long time too and she is an amazing girl. Are you also learning to fly a plane?
Nicely done video catching all the angles and was captivating great job all of you
Amazing.. C140 .. my favorite acft.. great images
The GeekPilot is what I love to call you. Taking IT to greater heights.
Haha I love that!!
I love what you did with the panel - would love to do something similar in the Stinson some day! Beautiful airplane!
Don't forget to check the cables. One Cessna specialist mechanical expert said "Cessnas eat cable", meaning they get frayed and corroded. Does your model need the Airworthiness Directive on the bulkhead-strut, etc.? Happing flying!
I love this plane. And what amazing flights!
The interior is looking great as well. It’s a nice ride you have And you can see out much better much better all around. 😊
Thank you so much! ArtCraft did such a fantastic job on the interior, makes the airplane so much more comfortable to fly in on long trips like this.
Do you also own a Cessna? lol
@@Neeko-fz1ukNo I’m retired now. But have flown a Cessna.
@@clarencewiles963 Oh, that's cool! Retired from what, if you don't mind me asking? Flying a Cessna sounds like a great experience. Any memorable flights or favorite moments?
@@Neeko-fz1uk US Army I was a Hovercraft Pilot and Navigator Instructor. Also was a Harbor Master in Berlin West Germany 🇩🇪 thanks for asking.
A really nice video! Love the flying over the desert and some great views out of the aircraft! Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to your next video on this route. All the best - Lee (UK)
Thank you so much Lee, I really appreciate it! Glad you enjoyed the video!
I love this video too, are you from the UK?
I enjoy watching Stevie's videos because she is so smart and cute(Attractive) and seriously she seems to be a very competent and safe pilot, gosh this over 50 guy wishes he was younger, all the great ladies always seem to be too young for me, but seriously I enjoy watching her video's and other aviation vids, thanks for posting these Stevie ! I am enjoying them very much !
You are right at home in the 140, Stevie. Both beauties. Glad you get to do Oshkosh X 2! Fun to ride along with you, as always. As a sidebar, back when I had my V35B, I used to go into Sky Ranch, in Carefree, frequently. Had a buddy - a Corvette freak - who had a 1950 Navion B [think hot rod] and a home on Sky Ranch. Neat country, but it was a bit bumpy in the summer...was happy to utilize his hangar and pool!
Hi Stevie, love your videos and learn so much just listening to your radio work. I would love to see a video on how you flight plan for these types of flights and what your thought process is as you plan these types of flights. It would be really interesting to see your process. Thank you for what you do for the general aviation community. You are inspirational!
Are you also learning airplane piloting skills?
Yes, studying for my written right now
@@mikemills4873 It's been great, I'm also studying for my pilot's license. Do you have any good method?
I've always thought of flying (even GA) as being faster than car. I guess these old birds take a lot more time to get places. Hope you ENJOYED the slow ride.
Well the Bonanza is definitely faster than a car. The 140... it's pretty close either way.
@@glibsonoran I would agree with you if it wasn't for the many considerations that go into flying. GA aircraft need a lot better weather than a car does. I've driven 2000 miles in 2 days - even with bad weather.
@@RealRickCox Yep good point. General aviation is for those who love to fly. There are very few instances where it's practical.
Five hours from California to Arizona-is definitely faster than driving.
@@glibsonoranwith a lot of the new Rotax powered ultra lights and expiermentals, you can fly at 120mph getting 30 to 35mpg, around 65 to $75 per flight hour operating cost. Excusing the entry cost of getting the plane, it can be very viable.
I LOVE that old yoke. that whole dash gives me early 50's house -vibe.
Pretty bird - got the giggles when you mentioned the delay for the "June-Gloom" (coastal fog/clouds). I flew out of NAS North Island (Seahawk helicopter) for almost 13 years and we set the flight schedule in the summer to not even expect to start prior to Noon. We also used to fly into Palm Springs a few times a year for a cross-country training flight - they had a great deli for lunch. WAIT - the pool still exists - 3-4 Naval Helicopter crew would invade that pool
Yet another great video from you Stevie, your amazing. That's a long haul for a little 140. I love your airplanes and what you did with them, keeping the vintage look. I look forward (me and other corporate pilots) to seeing every video you make. Mike from Bakersfield/Shafter
Thank you so much, Mike! I'm glad you enjoyed the video - certainly was a long haul in the miniwagon! More videos coming soon!
Always impressed with your checklists and radio work. Super sharp mind. Fantastic hand flying through the chop as well. By far, some of the best editing and audio on the platform!
Really enjoyed this video , such a beauty of a plane 💙
That's a nice-looking bird, the airplane is OK looking too 😁
hi stevie, enjoy your videos. im a truck driver that lives in az, goodyear and travel i- 10 weekly. so cool to see what it looks like from the air. it can get pretty windy in the banning area and can push 70000 lbs of truck and trailer around quite a bit. whats it like for you in a light aircraft up there? looking forward to the next part. t.x.
I love the big adventures you do! Im actually training to become a pilot (im 13 and working on getting very early flight hours), I know how to fly mostly (advanced models, like the sr22 or kodiak quest). Makes me want to fly for long adventures aswell.
Stevie, I'm so impressed and envious. I miss flying but videos like this help me relive my flying days. I'm with you on the oatmeal raisin cookies.
Love your videos, Stevie! I'm too old to fly these days, so I am living vicariously through you!
hi stevie i love your content keep up the good work and safe travels.
thank you so much!!!
What a great thing she is doing for aviation! A fantastic person, pilot and representative for the industry!
Great video Stevie and im so glad we get to see this video now. I look forward to day 2. great flying great landings so nice to watch this. your 140 looks so nice with new paint job and instruments. thanks for sharing, look forward to part 2!!! dont make us wait too long LOL. Larry
Stoked to here that you departed from Camarillo! I lived there for a few years!! Great town!
Everything looks fantastic Stevie! I've been to Oshkosh many times but only flew in there once...in a 1947 Luscombe 8F, quite the experience. Quick question, when you add your wheel pants won't that put a crimp in your pre-flight check of the fuel tanks? :)
For being a U of M grad, it had to hurt to say “Buckeye” all those times. 😀
KFFZ! That's the place where I got my pilot career started! Too many memories!! Thanks for sharing! Love your plane, so cute! Nice video❤
This was so awesome to fly with you on your journey. Awesome awesome video.
