As a pilot for 61 years and a Flight Instructor since December, 1966, I still tilt my head skyward to see what's flying over. No longer medically qualified, so I view many aviation videos to satisfy my taste for the sky. 8,500 hours of safe flying in helicopters and airplanes and the earth by air is beautiful and priceless. I remember the first time I saw a USAF KB-50 refueling a B-36! Aviation has come a verrrrry long way!
Chuck Yeager used to fly an ultralight when he just wanted to have fun. If you are still confident in skill and ability, you can go with fixed wing UL. If not so sure about 50 knots plus, a Powered Parachute flies 25KIAS and is still a blast.

@@Aviation101 She was being goofy and it was cute I don't know WTF these people are talking about. She is awesome and I am very happy for you Josh. Been watching since you were a kid basically so
Cherish a woman that will fly with you. My wife of 41 years passed away at the end of October. She wasn't a rated pilot but loved to fly and travel, was a meticulous pre-flighter ("If I'm going to fly in this thing, I want to be right!"), and was a great copilot. Live the dream...
So sorry for your loss Larry. I too lost my wife of 41 years at the end of July. I’m not a pilot but I’ve been an aviation buff all my life and have flown with several private pilot friends. I have way more time as a passenger in helicopters with a former employer. My wife wasn’t really interested in aviation but would willingly go to air shows because I was. She even planned a weekend getaway once that included an airshow. Sounds like you had one of the best. Hope you are able to continue your flying. I’m sure your copilot will still be there watching over you. May God Bless!
Hang on to a Lady like that Josh it don't get better than that! I lost my special lady of 24 yrs in 2021 due to covid , not a day goes by that I don't miss her! 😃
The addition of Chelsea to your life and channel has added another great dimension to both. At one point I found myself laughing out loud and sincerely saying to the screen, "Oh gosh, they are really cute!" I wish both of you continued success and joy.
LOL Josh has had no shortage of attractive women in the front seat with him over the years. It's kind of his brand. We'll see if Chelsea sticks around.
@@geraldmartsy2165 if he is smart, he will continue to have a nice selection of attractive ladies joining him in the front seat and won't "settle down" as they say --- that kind of variety in female companionship keeps a man vibrant and young at heart for a long time!

Incredible scenery. Your choice of music is perfect. Blends in so well with the type of flight. You two are so great together. Enjoy your life together to the fullest. Y'all are so blessed.
In your early days on UA-cam, I reached out to you on FB messenger to go up with you on one of your flights. We had it planned, I was going to pay half of the fuel cost. The day before, the plane that you wanted to fly was unavailable so you canceled. I was lazy and didn't follow up for doing another flight. I check in on your channel from time to time and it's nice to see you doing so well. I regret not doing that flight with you. I've got a 14yo son who wants to be a pilot so when he turns 15 in Oct we are going to start flight training together. Can't wait!
I can’t say I really enjoyed my GA flying days. I went to an accelerated part 141 flight school and went from 0 hrs to CFII in about a year. The fire hose treatment. It did the job but all my memories were cramming for check rides, students trying to kill me and lack of sleep. Didn’t have time to sit back and enjoy it. Instructed through about 2k hours through the 2009 recession until the airlines started hiring again, was excited to get out and never really looked back. I did maybe 2 leisure GA flights in that 2.5 year period. One being DVT-SEZ maybe 15 years ago and I still remember how scenic it was, probably one of the only GA flights I can still remember in detail. Point is the production level of a vid like this makes it almost seem enjoyable. Maybe down the road I’ll get into it as a hobby! I’ve always wanted to get my seaplane rating. Keep making these cool vids!
I forgot the adventure and fun of flying when I got my license 30 years ago. Think it's time to dust off that dream and you two show how it can be an awesome thing for couples. Thanks for the memories revived!
Sedona and Catalina are my top 2 airports. Love flying there. Mesa Grill is amazing too. Pulled pork sandwich with Sidewinder fries is my go to. Great video!
Sedona will always be special to me, since 1994 I have yearned to return every year, though it’s been three years since I last visited it’s still on my bucket list repeats! Thank you both for a great video via my first love; aviation, and your pleasurable narration!!
Oh My Goodness . What a wonderful video . Wonderful Scenery , a sense of genuine love for flying , for its never ending adventures it brings , and , no doubt , Dave and Chelsea have found their one true love in each other . David , the way Chelsea looks at you , you are one blessed man , Cherish and Protect . Thanks for sharing . Sedona is magnificent . Safe Flying Blessings Wished Upon You Both .
Wow just amazing , I’m a man, I served in the military , infantry , 2008-2012, it’s absolutely spectacular to see a woman do things I have no clue. Things have changed so much and definitely for the better. Outstanding.
Not sure what you’re getting at, both my wife and I have families with female pilot mechanics with multiple ratings going back to Rosie the Riveters. Both Chels and her dad are A&P mechanics with commercial pilot ratings. Chels herself has worked on massive WWIIt rotary engines, P51s flown all types of aircraft.
@@Highmaintenance_chels Hi Chelsea, Greetings from Australia. You are gorgeous. Hope you dont mind me saying. I used to fly 182's but its been a long time. Im thinking of taking it up again but Im getting a bit old I think now. Just turned 70. Thanks Josh for taking us to Sedona. We always see it on cowboy movies and its good to see what It really like, thanks to you. I have been top the Grand Canyon a few times but never to Sedona.
I envy the two of you. I earned my single engine recip in 77' at 17, learned in a 172 but migrated to a 412 Rockwell Aero-Commander which we owned. My best friend growing up in MA. went to Embry Riddle and taught me to fly when we were kids. I have traveled extensively both commercially and private jet after he was killed in a crash off of Andros Island in the Bahama's in 1980 but I let my license lapse and have not flown by myself since. We used to fly everywhere in that plane, it was a date magnet. I remember going to Wendy's on Cape Cod just because it was the only Wendy's in the state at the time. I really miss moving myself being pulled thru the air! Josh, marry the girl already, she's a diamond in the rough!
Many of us who remember a pre-internet world are big fans. Not only of the flying info, but of the amazing lifestyle you have worked so hard to create and share with us. Long ago, making a living doing what your doing was the stuff of science fiction dreams. Well done. I live in Central Texas and listen a lot to local traffic. I can recall hearing you many years ago in the pattern at San Marcos, and noting how hard you were trying to get things just perfect (yes, old pilots have that skill). You are the ideal example of practice makes perfect.
Sedona is now added to my ever growing monster USA bucket list in Google Earth... Josh, you gotta marry this girl ASAP! Chelsea's a fabulous and "extremely rare diamond beauty". Have you looked at diamonds lately? No, not DA42s! Those compressed carbon ones that sparkle!? She has a CPL (Well done, that's a huge effort Chelsea! - I know, I've got a very dusty old one from last century) She overhauls, fixes and maintains flying machines! She knows the language! She lives at airports! She's drop-dead gorgeous and has dreamy eyes for you! Can't get any better than that, but I know you know this! LOL. Best wishes you two! 😃 Cheers from NZL, David
Mesa Grill is one of my favorite restaurants in Sedona. Hope you guys had a good time there. So many things to see in Sedona if you have the time and enjoy hiking. Nothing like being in the mountains and rock structures. You get a completely different perspective and feeling when you are actually in them rather than looking from the road or air. Sedona is a very special place. Wish I was a pilot and able to travel and see the world as you do from the skies. Must be amazing. Stay safe and happy travels!
Thoroughly enjoyed the views of flying over Sedona and the playfulness in your and Chelsea’s connection. You are both expanders of possibilities for me…as once upon a time I had wanted to get my pilots license. Appreciating your shared joy of life and flight. Reading these comments, and watching your video helped me to see how much more joy is still available. Thank you for the bird’s eye view. 🤗🛩
I am a german Pilot and had an unforgettable flight to Sedona 4 years ago. We stood at the Skyranch, experiencing a colourful sundowner on their patio. Sedona is for sure on a lot of bucket lists.
The way she looks at you is something very special. Its hard to find that kind of kindred spirit but I believe you two are indeed great together. This is one cool scenic video topped off with one beautiful young lady at the controls! Loved it! Keep them coming you two!
Hey you pigeons - dear Josh and Chelsea! I noticed that at least one of your cameras is recording a shaky video image. If this observation is of any importance to you, you can check if the WRITE SPEED of the memory card is too low. For example, from 6:16 a landscape shot from the side window on the Chelsea side was visible. The jerky effect of the picture gets worse, the more moving details there are in the picture, and the faster the movement. If you have filmed the material in 4K or 8K format, the jerking can disappear by reducing the recording resolution. But otherwise, you can ask an expert to recommend you a memory card whose writing speed is certainly sufficient for the moving image of the format you are using. The surest way to find out is to go to a photography shop and show them the camera and its memory card and possibly this video so their expert can get the whole picture.
Really makes me miss flying with my dad around Arizona some of the most beautiful land to fly over we flew to everywhere you possibly could in Arizona and my mother actually went with him a lot more than I even did Great memories It's really great to see it again even though it's on TV screen it's funny how you're up there when you're flying and everything seems kind of slow motion as you're watching the scenery go by and Sedona From the sky nothing beats it Happy flying To the both of you Thanks for sparking some great memories
Thanks Josh and Chelsea...Sedona looks a special place. We stopped in for breakfast at Mr D'z Route 66 Diner in Kingman on our way to the Grand Canyon from Vegas. The breakfast and service was that good we called in again for breakfast the next morning and they pointed us through Oatman enroute to San Simeon heading up to the Big Sur. Best wishes from Brisbane, Australia.
That is so cool, sweet memories :) We rented a place 4 blocks from Mr.D's on route 66 in the historic district for our 6 months stay here, it have been so wonderful to walk around at sunset every evening and enjoy the area. We have taken a few day trips to Oatman, it was FANTASTIC!!!! Cheer!
Really enjoy your professional interaction. Keep up the great work. You two have many more years of adventures together!!! Blessings for safe flights ahead!!!!
Hi Josh & Chelsea. My name is Jan Greenberg & we met last year at Oshkosh during the Flight Outfitters event. I wish I knew you guys were in Kingman. I fly out of Henderson, NV (KHND) & fly to Kingman for a great breakfast at the cafe on the field. Hope to see you at AirVenture 2022! Blue Skies!
It's not fair! You even have your own resident A&P! 😁😁 I have become quite fond of your videos, if a little envious too. I'm encouraging my 18 year old granddaughter to watch them. She starts a Junior College with an A&P in her future too.
Sedona and Red Rocks is beautiful. Wife and I rented a Harley in Flagstaff and rode up through there, around the Grand Canyon and back to Phoenix. Would love to fly it one day.
Always good to land a little long there due to wind shear. I wad there when a Debonaire hit a downdraft. 3 people died. Also density altitude in the summer. A 172 becomes a 2 place airplane if you fill up with fuel. Great place. Not for beginners.
Yes, yes, yes. Steep approach and land on the aim marks. There have been several accidents there because of downdrafts off the "USS Sedona." Lean for takeoff, too. one of my favorite places. Tri-Pacer and Mooney based at E95 (Benson, AZ).
Okay, I’m now subscribed! Josh and Chelsea, it was nice to have you both attend my friends celebration of his life. Cool that others there recognized you both. Enjoy your upcoming excursions to the Bahamas! Captain Dave
So Awesome! My son and rented a 172 and flew from Marana (AVQ) to SEZ and had dinner in September after he finished AF training at Davis-Monthan. Dinner at The Mesa Grill was awesome! Such a cool trip, and to get to spend it with my 19 year old private pilot was priceless.
I didn't realize until recently you guys are now based in Kingman for a while. My wife and I own a Cherokee 160 across the way at Sun Valley Airport, A20. We have done Sedona and Grand Canyon multiple times together. One of these days we should meet up and fly somewhere double date style. 😊
Fantastic video!!! Thank you for all you do for the aviation community. I’ve been following your channel for a few years now and you have never disappointed. In fact, you were instrumental in getting me back in the air after a 13 year hiatus. Now you’re inspiring me to take longer trips. I’m based in the southeast and have added Sedona and the rest of the southwest to my bucket list. You and Chelsea make a great team. Watching how you two interact with each other as you explore everything aviation has to offer is truly heartwarming. Keep up the great work and once again, Thank You!!!
LOVE SEDONA!! I’m sure you did it, but thought it would be a good training moment for everyone to lean the mixture to the best power (highest RPM) during the run up at those high altitude airports.
I live in Tucson and would love to get some training on how to properly lean for take off, as well as the relatively new to me "lean of peak" method for cruise. Any recommendations? A few months ago, I took a CFII friend up for a flight, and much to my surprise, he pushed my mixture control to full rich on take off! It was 90 degrees that day. I always lean just slight when it's really hot. Is that good or not? We had a good discussing about it afterwords. Personally, I don't like ANYONE touching the power controls on take off.
Great video Josh and Chelsea. There are a number of us who are able to "live vicariously" through your adventures. Seeing the country from the air as you get to do, it's a real treat. You make a fantastic couple and thanks for sharing your adventures.
Thank you for sharing that, it is so rewarding to hear that people enjoy the post production of these experiences. We are incredibly lucky to capture these adventures, then Josh spends A LOT of time in post production to retell the story cinematically. Thanks for your kind words and for tagging along, we'll see you in the next one friend!
Haven't seen a video of yours in awhile. Came back to some couple love. Super happy for you. She is a great compliment for the channel and obviously you.
Hi Guys Great video and great team work. Chelsea needs to do a video series on getting her tailwheel endorsement and then a trip to Oshkosh in a cub. Big demand for UA-cam tail wheel videos especially since Kevin Quinn blew up the Flying Cowboys.
Right? They fit so well together! I don't want to embarrass any of them but the looks she gives Josh is just adorable, there's nothing but love there! 😁
bro i have never seen one of your videos before, this is the first time for me. i have only just seen the intro and bro..i subscribed istantly.. this is just too good
Sedona was named after the wife cities first post master Theodore Schnebly. His wife mother just made up the name which was unusual for the 19th century. My wife grew up in the area while she was going to college she worked at Grand Canyon airport as well as Sedona. She would drive from Flagstaff, Grand Canyon, and Sedona almost daily.
I first flew into Sedona around 1985 and first thought was this is like landing on an anchored aircraft carrier. Home base was Falcon Field, Mesa AZ. Great video of your flight to Sedona.
Sedona has some of the prettiest light for photography ... next visit - try a rental car, and take a drive to the canyons - there are some beautiful places to explore!
Looking for an easy canyon hike? I recommend a hike up Soldier's Pass to the seven sacred pools. Sublime. If feeling energetic, continue all the way up to the top of Brin's Mesa, great view back down the canyon from up there.
I'm Josh. My late wife and I (sometimes with a couple of friends) would fly to SEZ, LAS, FLG, and many others from DVT and CHD, 5-6 x/month on Sat/Sun for breakfast from '91 - '07 as part of my air taxi business. After she passed, I stopped flying and my passion left with her. We didn't have YT most of then, all we had were traditional cameras or 8mm handhelds. Sure do wish YT would have been around then. I could have captured the moments and kept them for many years later. Funny, how there's nothing new anymore - except GPS, LOL! Just mainly a circle of time and events. thanks for sharing!
Dude, I'm only 15 seconds into the video and I'm already mind-blown! It's been a lil while since I last visited your channel but in just a few seconds, I'm reminded of why you are the #1 Aviation UA-camr of all time, in my opinion. Your vids are incredibly inspirational 👊🏾
What no name said. I've been with the same beautiful girl for nearly 48 years. Trust me, you two have something special that others can only dream of. Cherish it, and each other.
I have been lucky enough to visit AZ from the UK twice yearly since starting to work with America West Airlines in 1988. Staying in Scottsdale until I bought my first house close by KDVT and then the second at Desert Ridge, one of my first flights was KSDL-KSEZ. I fell in love with Sedona and named one of my dogs after the incredible place. I have also bought quite a few paintings and ceramics at the incredible Exposures Gallery of Fine Art so as I stare out at the rain back in the UK, I have my own bit of AZ to make me feel better. Will be back again in October. In the words of Monty Python; “you lucky lucky b--ds”.
Ha! I just flew there with my wife the Sunday before you (if you were there April 2 - or maybe that was the video post date) and we could not get in to Mesa Grill. It was so busy - plenty of tables, but not enough staff willing to work -- we had to Uber into town. Next time we will make a reservation! If you're ever at Falcon Field let me know and I'll treat to lunch! :^)
Josh, loved the video!! I enjoy living my dreams through your cameras!!! Keep up the great work!! If you ever make it up here to 77S, let me know and I would love to stop by the aerodrome and say howdy!!! 👍👍😎😎
A handful of decades ago, I was helping an old man Pete Michelbach- who ran cattle in the area of the Sedona Airport. Every once in a while we would have to go up and get the cattle off the runway
Really appreciate the aerial views of the Sedona landmarks I've come to know and love. Discovered the southwest through a visit to Sedona in 2013, knew immediately that I must have been a southwesterner in a past life. Came back a bunch of times and discovered Prescott to Sedona's west, and the Embry Riddle Aeronautical University, which my youngest son then attended -- ended up not being a pilot but an aerospace engineer, now working for Lockheed Space Systems since 2018. We moved from NY State to Prescott in 2017, love being only short drive from Sedona instead of a 2500 mile flight. Have always wanted to take an aerial tour but loved your video -- Airport Mesa, Capitol Butte, Chimney Rock, the Courthouse, Cathedral Rock, Bell Rock, Ship Rock and all the others so beautifully laid out below. Gotta take an air tour. Or maybe it's not to late to go back and finish getting a license myself after starting and running out of money back in my 20s in the 1970s.... Thanks!

She lives at airports! She's drop-dead gorgeous and has dreamy eyes for you! Can't get any better than that, but I know you know this! LOL. Best wishes you two! 😃 Cheers from NZL, David
I got a good smile out of this, and applaud the comedic flare, just my style! Cheers David
They like to say “phenomenal “ a lot. Adorable. They way she looks at him is true love. Great flying. Getting my PPL right now
I got a PPL. But, yet to find a girl half as hot as Chelsea, to take on a trip to Sedona (live in San Diego so it's a 3hr flight vs 8hr drive) :-D
Not sure if it's "true love" but they seem smitten with each other and that's all that really matters
Mesa Grill is one of my favorite restaurants in Sedona. Hope you guys had a good time there. So many things to see in Sedona if you have the time and enjoy hiking. Nothing like being in the mountains and rock structures. You get a completely different perspective and feeling when you are actually in them rather than looking from the road or air.
Sedona is a very special place.
Wish I was a pilot and able to travel and see the world as you do from the skies. Must be amazing.
Stay safe and happy travels!
Thoroughly enjoyed the views of flying over Sedona and the playfulness in your and Chelsea’s connection. You are both expanders of possibilities for me…as once upon a time I had wanted to get my pilots license. Appreciating your shared joy of life and flight. Reading these comments, and watching your video helped me to see how much more joy is still available. Thank you for the bird’s eye view. 🤗🛩
Thanks for the shout out! You guys were awesome to fly with. Let’s do it again soon!
Are you headed to SNF this week?
@@Highmaintenance_chels Absolutely! We will have a booth in the Warbirds section.
That whole part of the US is a photographer's dream, even at night. You can see the Milky Way from horizon to horizon. Thanks for a great video.
I am a german Pilot and had an unforgettable flight to Sedona 4 years ago. We stood at the Skyranch, experiencing a colourful sundowner on their patio. Sedona is for sure on a lot of bucket lists.
You’re not kidding, that’s some gorgeous scenery. And the view of the country side isn’t bad either! Lol
She’s out of most leagues! She’s out of this world!!
The way she looks at you is something very special. Its hard to find that kind of kindred spirit but I believe you two are indeed great together. This is one cool scenic video topped off with one beautiful young lady at the controls! Loved it! Keep them coming you two!
Hey you pigeons - dear Josh and Chelsea! I noticed that at least one of your cameras is recording a shaky video image. If this observation is of any importance to you, you can check if the WRITE SPEED of the memory card is too low. For example, from 6:16 a landscape shot from the side window on the Chelsea side was visible. The jerky effect of the picture gets worse, the more moving details there are in the picture, and the faster the movement. If you have filmed the material in 4K or 8K format, the jerking can disappear by reducing the recording resolution. But otherwise, you can ask an expert to recommend you a memory card whose writing speed is certainly sufficient for the moving image of the format you are using. The surest way to find out is to go to a photography shop and show them the camera and its memory card and possibly this video so their expert can get the whole picture.
Really makes me miss flying with my dad around Arizona some of the most beautiful land to fly over we flew to everywhere you possibly could in Arizona and my mother actually went with him a lot more than I even did Great memories It's really great to see it again even though it's on TV screen it's funny how you're up there when you're flying and everything seems kind of slow motion as you're watching the scenery go by and Sedona From the sky nothing beats it Happy flying To the both of you Thanks for sparking some great memories
Thanks Josh and Chelsea...Sedona looks a special place. We stopped in for breakfast at Mr D'z Route 66 Diner in Kingman on our way to the Grand Canyon from Vegas.
The breakfast and service was that good we called in again for breakfast the next morning and they pointed us through Oatman enroute to San Simeon heading up to the Big Sur. Best wishes from Brisbane, Australia.
That is so cool, sweet memories :) We rented a place 4 blocks from Mr.D's on route 66 in the historic district for our 6 months stay here, it have been so wonderful to walk around at sunset every evening and enjoy the area. We have taken a few day trips to Oatman, it was FANTASTIC!!!! Cheer!
Really enjoy your professional interaction. Keep up the great work. You two have many more years of adventures together!!! Blessings for safe flights ahead!!!!
I am very very happy for you man. I have always admired your airmanship and now I even more admire your lady friend.. She is awesome. Do not lose her.
As always, thanks for sharing, Josh. You are a masterful aviation video storyteller. Sedona / Canyon Country never gets old.
follow your all the time love to see all the places your going to from south africa
So Beautiful!!! Thanks for taking us along!
Thanks for bringing us along
As always, a top shelf production.
Hi Josh & Chelsea. My name is Jan Greenberg & we met last year at Oshkosh during the Flight Outfitters event. I wish I knew you guys were in Kingman. I fly out of Henderson, NV (KHND) & fly to Kingman for a great breakfast at the cafe on the field. Hope to see you at AirVenture 2022! Blue Skies!
Amazing views. Arizona scenery wasn't too bad either.
real original
@@stingweeber6394 Its UA-cam, have you ever seen an original comment on here? It's the same ones repeating on every channel.
It's not fair! You even have your own resident A&P! 😁😁 I have become quite fond of your videos, if a little envious too. I'm encouraging my 18 year old granddaughter to watch them. She starts a Junior College with an A&P in her future too.
Thanks for taking us along for the flight! Great to watch!
I live near Sedona I'm fortunate to have this view everyday 😍, the positive energy of Sedona Valley is amazing.
A joy to watch you two enjoy. The way Chelsea looks at you should be cherished.
Exactly what I thought. when a woman looks at yuo like that it is true love.
Sedona and Red Rocks is beautiful. Wife and I rented a Harley in Flagstaff and rode up through there, around the Grand Canyon and back to Phoenix. Would love to fly it one day.
Always good to land a little long there due to wind shear. I wad there when a Debonaire hit a downdraft. 3 people died. Also density altitude in the summer.
A 172 becomes a 2 place airplane if you fill up with fuel.
Great place. Not for beginners.
Yes, yes, yes. Steep approach and land on the aim marks. There have been several accidents there because of downdrafts off the "USS Sedona." Lean for takeoff, too. one of my favorite places. Tri-Pacer and Mooney based at E95 (Benson, AZ).
Okay, I’m now subscribed! Josh and Chelsea, it was nice to have you both attend my friends celebration of his life. Cool that others there recognized you both. Enjoy your upcoming excursions to the Bahamas! Captain Dave
the way she looks at you…. You two are so cute
So Awesome! My son and rented a 172 and flew from Marana (AVQ) to SEZ and had dinner in September after he finished AF training at Davis-Monthan. Dinner at The Mesa Grill was awesome! Such a cool trip, and to get to spend it with my 19 year old private pilot was priceless.
I didn't realize until recently you guys are now based in Kingman for a while. My wife and I own a Cherokee 160 across the way at Sun Valley Airport, A20. We have done Sedona and Grand Canyon multiple times together. One of these days we should meet up and fly somewhere double date style. 😊
Hello to you and your wife!!!
Loved the views. Thank you so much for taking us along.
Fantastic video!!!
Thank you for all you do for the aviation community. I’ve been following your channel for a few years now and you have never disappointed. In fact, you were instrumental in getting me back in the air after a 13 year hiatus. Now you’re inspiring me to take longer trips. I’m based in the southeast and have added Sedona and the rest of the southwest to my bucket list. You and Chelsea make a great team. Watching how you two interact with each other as you explore everything aviation has to offer is truly heartwarming. Keep up the great work and once again, Thank You!!!
What an incredible view !!
Thank you for sharing this ,
And taking us along ✈ Josh
& Chelsea 🙏
LOVE SEDONA!!
I’m sure you did it, but thought it would be a good training moment for everyone to lean the mixture to the best power (highest RPM) during the run up at those high altitude airports.
I live in Tucson and would love to get some training on how to properly lean for take off, as well as the relatively new to me "lean of peak" method for cruise. Any recommendations? A few months ago, I took a CFII friend up for a flight, and much to my surprise, he pushed my mixture control to full rich on take off! It was 90 degrees that day. I always lean just slight when it's really hot. Is that good or not? We had a good discussing about it afterwords. Personally, I don't like ANYONE touching the power controls on take off.
I Suggest that you watch Martin Pauly Lean of Peak on UA-cam. Great stuff!
Looks amazing from the air.
Josh, she is definitely a keeper! Love the channel, keep it up.
Great video Josh and Chelsea. There are a number of us who are able to "live vicariously" through your adventures. Seeing the country from the air as you get to do, it's a real treat. You make a fantastic couple and thanks for sharing your adventures.
Thank you for sharing that, it is so rewarding to hear that people enjoy the post production of these experiences. We are incredibly lucky to capture these adventures, then Josh spends A LOT of time in post production to retell the story cinematically. Thanks for your kind words and for tagging along, we'll see you in the next one friend!
@@Highmaintenance_chels you be faithful to your man and dont be looking at other dudes
I’m definitely adding the airport to my bucket list
Fly there now on Microsoft flight sim. My home airport.
Haven't seen a video of yours in awhile. Came back to some couple love. Super happy for you. She is a great compliment for the channel and obviously you.
Hi Guys Great video and great team work. Chelsea needs to do a video series on getting her tailwheel endorsement and then a trip to Oshkosh in a cub. Big demand for UA-cam tail wheel videos especially since Kevin Quinn blew up the Flying Cowboys.
Spent my entire life trying to achieve the lifestyle and the copilot that you have. Wow, how fortunate you are. Good films too.
Fabulous video. It’s lovely to see the way you guys are growing together while producing some amazing entertainment for us. Thanks so much.
OMG! Beautiful weather, excellent food, great company, life is good! I believe you are in paradise!
your relationship is truly a blessing, your videos have always been an inspiration... looking forward to your future.... together....
Right? They fit so well together! I don't want to embarrass any of them but the looks she gives Josh is just adorable, there's nothing but love there! 😁
Seemingly kinda one sided.
@@XX-166 you mean from my comment or between them? There's nothing but true love between them, if you can't see that you're rather blind! 😛
@@RobertForslund whatever you say Ray Charles
@@XX-166 uhm, okay... 🙄
bro i have never seen one of your videos before, this is the first time for me. i have only just seen the intro and bro..i subscribed istantly.. this is just too good
Sedona was named after the wife cities first post master Theodore Schnebly. His wife mother just made up the name which was unusual for the 19th century. My wife grew up in the area while she was going to college she worked at Grand Canyon airport as well as Sedona. She would drive from Flagstaff, Grand Canyon, and Sedona almost daily.
We're always so glad they didn't decide to call the town "Schnebly"
I first flew into Sedona around 1985 and first thought was this is like landing on an anchored aircraft carrier. Home base was Falcon Field, Mesa AZ. Great video of your flight to Sedona.
I love your channel and the adventures and happiness you experience together wishing you a great life.
Sedona has some of the prettiest light for photography ... next visit - try a rental car, and take a drive to the canyons - there are some beautiful places to explore!
Looking for an easy canyon hike? I recommend a hike up Soldier's Pass to the seven sacred pools. Sublime. If feeling energetic, continue all the way up to the top of Brin's Mesa, great view back down the canyon from up there.
I was just at the Mesa grill two days before this dropped! It was my first time in Sedona...what a wonderful place to visit. Great video!
I'm Josh. My late wife and I (sometimes with a couple of friends) would fly to SEZ, LAS, FLG, and many others from DVT and CHD, 5-6 x/month on Sat/Sun for breakfast from '91 - '07 as part of my air taxi business. After she passed, I stopped flying and my passion left with her. We didn't have YT most of then, all we had were traditional cameras or 8mm handhelds. Sure do wish YT would have been around then. I could have captured the moments and kept them for many years later. Funny, how there's nothing new anymore - except GPS, LOL! Just mainly a circle of time and events. thanks for sharing!
Dude, I'm only 15 seconds into the video and I'm already mind-blown! It's been a lil while since I last visited your channel but in just a few seconds, I'm reminded of why you are the #1 Aviation UA-camr of all time, in my opinion. Your vids are incredibly inspirational 👊🏾
Beautiful scenery! Beautiful flight! Thank you for sharing!
Josh, With your plane you have the skies, but with Chelsea....The Heavens.
I'm blushing - very sweet compliment
That is perfectly said. So beautiful. Seems so down and earth and cool. Great couple. Lucky man and lucky woman
that is the dumbest comment ever
What no name said. I've been with the same beautiful girl for nearly 48 years. Trust me, you two have something special that others can only dream of. Cherish it, and each other.
I concur...Josh is an extremely blessed man.
What a beautiful country we live in , without you some of us would never get to see it! Thanks for what you do!!
I like the restaurant at the Sedona airport. Been there several times in my brothers 172.
Yes, of course. What a beautiful life!
I just wish my wife enjoyed flying, you two make it so enjoyable.
I have been lucky enough to visit AZ from the UK twice yearly since starting to work with America West Airlines in 1988. Staying in Scottsdale until I bought my first house close by KDVT and then the second at Desert Ridge, one of my first flights was KSDL-KSEZ. I fell in love with Sedona and named one of my dogs after the incredible place. I have also bought quite a few paintings and ceramics at the incredible Exposures Gallery of Fine Art so as I stare out at the rain back in the UK, I have my own bit of AZ to make me feel better. Will be back again in October. In the words of Monty Python; “you lucky lucky b--ds”.
These videos are always great. You two rock. Someday I want my license and maybe my wife will fly with me! You two keep it up👊🏽
Thanks for taking us with you!
Great video you two. Look forward to lots more soon?
Ha! I just flew there with my wife the Sunday before you (if you were there April 2 - or maybe that was the video post date) and we could not get in to Mesa Grill. It was so busy - plenty of tables, but not enough staff willing to work -- we had to Uber into town. Next time we will make a reservation! If you're ever at Falcon Field let me know and I'll treat to lunch! :^)
Josh, loved the video!! I enjoy living my dreams through your cameras!!! Keep up the great work!! If you ever make it up here to 77S, let me know and I would love to stop by the aerodrome and say howdy!!! 👍👍😎😎
Looks like you two are living the dream! Take care of each other. I don’t think I ever seen a more beautiful couple. Fair Skies and Happy Landings!
Hey Josh, I think she likes you...
whoaaa
Josh needs inputs … :)
Cringe alert
Nah she getting free lessons then outta there
@@drewbrown7513well that didn’t age well. They’re engaged!
A handful of decades ago, I was helping an old man Pete Michelbach- who ran cattle in the area of the Sedona Airport. Every once in a while we would have to go up and get the cattle off the runway
Really appreciate the aerial views of the Sedona landmarks I've come to know and love. Discovered the southwest through a visit to Sedona in 2013, knew immediately that I must have been a southwesterner in a past life. Came back a bunch of times and discovered Prescott to Sedona's west, and the Embry Riddle Aeronautical University, which my youngest son then attended -- ended up not being a pilot but an aerospace engineer, now working for Lockheed Space Systems since 2018. We moved from NY State to Prescott in 2017, love being only short drive from Sedona instead of a 2500 mile flight. Have always wanted to take an aerial tour but loved your video -- Airport Mesa, Capitol Butte, Chimney Rock, the Courthouse, Cathedral Rock, Bell Rock, Ship Rock and all the others so beautifully laid out below. Gotta take an air tour. Or maybe it's not to late to go back and finish getting a license myself after starting and running out of money back in my 20s in the 1970s.... Thanks!
You two are actually very adorable together in both directions. I see you the same as I saw my wife of 30 years, 31 years ago.
We are looking to do a run along route 66 across AZ and land at all of the Airports and strips soon!
Sounds like an awesome adventure! Fly safe
@@Highmaintenance_chels Always allegedly I may get some stick time in 'Sara' The trusty Saratoga!
Josh And Chelsea Great video I love watching your videos you guys are very good pilots can't wait to see more videos in the future
