    The fact that you can pick these up for less than $1 million is amazing. I've always had a thing for the 500s. Abram, you've got a really sweet plane there.

      @RADThird1 5 років тому +4

      Hey Mojo, I like your channel too! Unfortunately, my understanding is that the sub 1 Mil ones are far from the updated aircraft that you could actually use. They can be "fixed" but I would imagine that the cost would be more then it would be worth.

      original build quality wasn't so great, needs to be upgraded to be good. At KCPT, the one owned by John Travolta (I've been told) has been sitting for a long time...appears to need a major upgrade which is why its sitting wasting in the sun

    As a 100% Service Disabled Vietnam Veteran I would like to say “Thank you for all your service and kindness to our Disabled Veterans!”. Services such as yours was not available to Disabled veterans returning from Vietnam or other conflicts. It is very rewarding to see this come about for those returning from war zones today. During these horrible events for veterans and love ones it is very difficult to work through needs and with your service that problem is resolved. Thank you again kind sir! Btw our son is a Attorney in Frisco And Partner in a firm headquartered in St. Louis, Mo. he travels a lot speaking at various events as he is an expert in the field of Cybersecurity and Data Privacy with Spencer, Fane and Browne Law Firm. He would benefit a great deal getting his pilot license and own plane to do all of his traveling.

      Bob, I truly appreciate your sentiments, but it is I who would like to say "Thank you for your service" to you! What I do for men and women like you is nothing compared to what you have done for me. You have given more to this nation than anyone can ask for and my family and I thank you!

    I initially judged Abram to be a personality that I wouldn't like. I'm glad I watched the whole thing, he seems to be a genuinely good guy, and definitely doesn't suffer from the borderline personality disorder I thought he would exhibit. Thanks Abram, and nice jet!

    It’s exiting when your watching one of your favorite UA-cam channel and see someone you know. I live in South Florida and know Abram he’s a really an amazing guy. I was new to aviation and Abram spent time and money to encourage me and took me for a flight in his jet I’ll never forget the experience. Thanks to Flying Doodles and thanks Abram for the mentoring and charity work you do.

    I know a fella you should interview. Retired Marine Colonel Jack Jackson. You can find him up at KSUS. Over 600 missions in Vietnam and Boeing's former Chief Harrier test pilot. He also served in Missouri's House of Representatives. History Channel also did an interview with him which you can find here on UA-cam. He's currently flying Eclipse 550's. The folks at Million Air KSUS can help you get in touch. Tell James from Line Service sent you! Jack Jackson is a true living legend!

    The Eclipse 500 is an incredible airplane. It is very responsive and handles great. Landing without having to deploy spoilers or reverse thrust is a great advantage. Apply breaking action to stop the aircraft after touchdown . Great job flying side stick mount, Bobby. You haven’t lost a step since you were forced to discontinue flying. Always find your videos interesting and informative. Abram is a great guy who makes flying enjoyable. He also deserves congrats for his generosity in giving back to people in need. Take care and stay well!

    This plane always intrigued me because I think a single engine light, 2 place, long range (1,800) mile, pressurized 280-320 knot cruise w/small pisser in back is entirely feasible!!!. Including a movable CG I designed 3 years before Burton Rutan tore up that canard years ago. Single engine with the jet in the tail like to the L 1011... A seven hr range which includes 45 min reserve. Think it's possible?? I'll hold my breath!!
