i love how the copilot feels incredibly relaxed whilst doing a banger job
Thanks!
Thanks for the terrific video!
You’re welcome! Glad that you enjoyed it.
Nice flying John! 👍🏻
Love these x videos.
Thank you!
I sure enjoy these videos - keep them coming!
Thank you Neil!
thanks for the ride along you guys seeing both of you enjoying the run..nothing better...think i will pull out the citabria....ou'pa...
Thank you! We feel very lucky to get paid to do what we do. We certainly have a lot of fun doing it! Enjoy the Citabria!! That’s another fun airplane!
Oh boy..... hard one! I am A Sentimentalist in heart ! " KITFOX ADVENTURE " Is A Staple! I guess???? " FLYING ADVENTURE...." Boy that Citation X Is A Beauty!!! I feel your passion ! Go With it !
I really enjoy your video's, especially looking out the windshield view. Cloud formations are so unique.
Thank you! I feel very blessed to get to witness such beautiful unique views!
Thank you for sharing.
You’re welcome! I’m glad that you enjoyed it. 👍🏻
@@johnkluenker I continue to love aircraft after leaving the commercial industry.
I really enjoyed riding along :)
Thank you!! More to come. I will be posting a similar video where we fly between some of the islands in Hawaii.
Cool flight. Sweet jet. Lots of water out there in the Delta! I like the annunciation of the runway number taxiing into position, and "100'" warning approaching the end. Great situational awareness aids! They don't give us fancy gizmo's like that at the airlines. Corp. jets are always a decade ahead of airliners. Or maybe the airlines are just cheap? ;) Ha-ha! Thanks for sharing. I always used to joke my pick up truck had better navigation in it than my Boeing going to Hawaii! ;) :)
We have done a lot of upgrades to our airplane so it is an interesting mix of the best that the 90s had to offer avionics-wise along with some modern touches. It does a good job considering! The X+ really is a phenomenal airplane with the Garmin 5000 suite. It’s really is a shame that they only made about 30 of them though.
John, I think I told you about Our First Flight from Albany N.Y. To Denver CO. To visit My Daughter and Son' n law in Leadville ? We were Deplaned because Engine 1 on the A320 Airbus Wouldn't fire up ! Important stuff ! Love it ! we did make it to CO. Though ! Thanks Again for the Great experience again !
Nice adventure! The new name sounds very good.
Thank you!!
Glad to see your back! Great Video!
Thank you!!
keep it as kitfox it’s not limiting you it’s just a memory to the type of content you started out with its a cool name
That''s a sweet bird Klink!
Ha ha! Thanks, Trevor. Not nearly as sweet as your F-18, however! 😂🤘🏼
DO IT!!!
Ahhh, the memories. Sacramento TRACON controller, '79-86.... Nice job, guys.
My dad worked at Sacramento TRACON from 82 to 86.
Who was your Dad? What was his name? I was one of the Automation Specialists, along with Bob Ferdon and Charlie Cox. I also had part of Sunshine Flyers (FBO) at Auburn.
Norm Clark I think his title was area manager or something like that. He came up from the regional office in LA where he did evaluations. Wanted to retire in Sacramento for some reason. Took what was an early out back then at 55 years old. I think it is standard age now.
I also am familiar with sunshine flyers. My brother rents planes from Auburn either there or one that is next to it. He won't use Mach 5 anymore.
@chrisclarktechguy4400 Nice!!
This might be a strange request, but I'd love it if you'd do a complete start-up showing your procedures, with cockpit panel views. I'm a sim pilot who flies the Citation X in X-Plane, and there are no real resources on YT for starting this aircraft. Nevertheless,, my self-taught procedures appear to be fairly close.
That’s a good idea. I’m actually heading to the airport to do a flight right now. I don’t have my GoPro‘s with me, but I may just film the start up procedure with my phone even though it will be low production value. I figure most viewers want something with more excitement and action than starting up the aircraft, but I could release this as a standalone video. Apologies in advance if the production isn’t as good as it could be. Maybe I’ll make a follow up one where I take some more time. Thanks for reaching out!
Hi, your callsing is ForeFlight ?? Nice videos!
Thank you! Yes, that’s a service that ForeFlight provides to its members. Helps you be a little more incognito.

Flying airplanes difficult one. You're great pilot. I can learning your video about how to flying the airplane.
I flying airplanes and helicopters just video games.
My friend was pilot in the U.S. Navy and commerical airplane. He flew the Boeing 747 and many airplanes. he loves Cessna , Boeing.
Very nice. Thank you for the message! I enjoy flying airplanes and helicopters on video games as well. Mostly Microsoft flight simulator. So glad that you enjoyed the video and again thanks for the comment!
Keep Kitfox for sure!
Quick flight. What was your cruising speed?
Not very fast on this leg since we are restricted to 250 knots below 10,000 feet.
Could you make a video of how you make your flight plan
This was just a short VFR flight with no flight plan filed. On a typical longer distance trip we would plan and file an IFR flight plan. This is done through the ForeFlight app. ForeFlight produces a number of route options. It takes less than a minute to plan and file a flight across the country. Pretty nice!
Many thanks for another High Quality Citation X video. What is the average time to allign both IRS ?
Thank you so much! It can take 3-10ish minutes depending upon your latitude. The farther north you are the longer it takes for them to align.
@@johnkluenkerThank you for prompt reply and wish you new interesting flights with nice content like this 😉
Miss the kitfox and challenger videos but just glad your ok. Looking forward to all your flying adventure videos
Thank you! More Kitfox videos to come. Engine is at Ly-Con Aircraft Engines right now. 6-8 month wait on the engine but the Kitfox will be back and better than ever!
I was a Lead A&P Mech at WCSC for many years. Saw N1BS several times and probably worked on it. Retired now and glad to be away from it all.
Well you did some good work because she is soldiering on in great shape. 👍🏻
You can call it whatever you like as long as i can continue enjoying your aviation experience no matter which plane you're flying!!!
You could always just add "and beyond" to your original title to keep it simple, or get more dynamic with your name. Ill keep watching. :-)
Thank you, Don!
Nice video. My only comment is: why do that VFR? Probably saved you a minute or 2, and then you had to worry about keeping clear of clouds.
Thank you. If I remember correctly that day there weren’t any clouds reported so it was a bit of a surprise. Going VFR simplifies things a bit and we can get some awkward routing on an IFR flight plan. If we had known about the clouds we probably would have filed IFR.
Enjoyed the video right up to last few mins when 'music' came in and we could not hear your convesations on final approach! just sayin' Thank you :)
Thanks Jim! I brought the music audio up a bit there since there is little to no dialogue on final approach.
I have a question:
When “Winds are 180”, does that mean the wind is COMING from the south, or BLOWING to the south?
Great question. That means that the winds are blowing from the south. So if you had the choice of runways, you would want a runway that is closest to runway 18 which would have a heading of (roughly) 180 degrees. By choosing this runway, you would be landing or taking off into the wind. The higher the headwind, the less runway is required, because your speed across the ground is less for a given airspeed. Also, the closer the wind direction is to the runway heading, the less crosswind component you have. Crosswinds can get a little tricky.
@@johnkluenker oh my gosh, I’m so thankful and honored that you answered my question, I was always embarrassed to ask someone.
That really clears it up, & thanks for telling me about runway selection.
Big thank you.
No need to be embarrassed. I remember having that question myself back in the day! So glad I could help clear it up.
Nice video, thanks. But I don't understand why you put music, like if check lists or taxiing are less important!
You’re welcome. I guess I should release a version with no music during the checklists and taxi. I usually figure the viewers would be bored without the music to carry the video. Typical UA-cam viewers have VERY short attention spans! I normally fade it down to very quiet during checklists or radio communication. I’ll have to take another look at it. Thanks for the input!
how much does this aircraft cost to buy?
To buy this aircraft new it would be north of $20 million back in the day. Ours is a 1999 model and you could purchase it for a cool $6 million at this point!
What’s the story on the call sign you are using?
We use the ForeFlight app for our weather, charts, and flight planning. With a subscription you can apply for a ForeFlight call sign and use that in lieu of your aircraft registration number. Only for domestic non-oceanic flights though.
@@johnkluenker i like it. I got out flying 16 years ago because of life on the road so I’m not up to date on all the new fancy gadgets. I miss the flying but not the 3/4 4/3 schedule plus commute.
@@johnkluenker this answers the very question I had also. Thanks
I think I put the winglets on this aircraft. In mesa
Hi Bill! We had ours done in Wichita back in 2009 I believe. We had a different paint scheme back then.
@@johnkluenker Moved to Mesa in 2010 from Wichita.
Why are you in the right seat?
We alternate left seat versus right seat with each day that we fly. This happened to be a right seat day.
Thar plane have the venezuela flag 🇻🇪
Need to see lots more about what the aircraft is doing instead of two talking heads, one of which is almost head butting the camera.. I find so many of this type of video is more about the people than the aircraft. I prefer the aircraft, especially the Citation X.
I agree. Some viewers really wanted to see a whole flight including the communications with ATC so I thought I would do that with this one since it’s a short leg. Stay tuned, though. I’m planning to make a video entitled, “How to Land a Citation X (And Why I Love This Airplane So Much)!!”
@@johnkluenkerActually I enjoyed this video very much., thought it showed the CRM and cockpit procedures very well.
@dragoclarke9497 Thank you!
Just call it 'Some Confused Middle Aged Dude'
keep it at kitfox adventure or rebrand, the shorter more memorable names are better for viewers to remember/find you
