GlaStar Cross Country to Colorado (our new home!)

- Life is crazy, but life is good. I'm saying goodbye to the Coast Guard and am moving to Colorado to fly for a living once more and to get my A&P! Step one was to take Woodstock over as soon as my terminal leave started and I had a good weather window. Luckily, the giant high pressure system following behind snowmageddon made for a clear and smooth ride. I ended up doing 1,050 nautical miles in 9.8 hours. Thanks for following along on this channel and my videos!
Not gonna lie that is one stunning plane.
Righteous!!👍👍🧨
Amy, I've been subscribed to you for a little while and love your videos. My youngest son (20yo) bought a 150 when 16 and I've been trying to talk him into a Glastar like Woodstock for about a year. Unfortunately he wants his next bird to be complex, and preferably high-performance, so I appear to be losing that battle. I'm a 60+yo that wants to learn to fly low & slow in a high wing, thinking the Glastar's speed & performance might hit in the middle for us both, but sadly it may not happen. My dad was a P-38 during the later part of WWII and ended up in a King Air flying corporate. He was an A&P, a CFII, and flew so much that we never got around to teaching me. Thank you for sharing your airtime and Woodstock. I love it and it keeps me itching to get up and learn. Sadly time flies, and I don't. LOL
You're never to old to start flying. Go take lessons! Even if you don't intend to see it through, its FUN and it's a way to get in the air!!!
This video just confirms that I have one talented instructor! And yeah- great music choices! -- Tim
Thank-you, Amy! I always enjoy your filming, editing, and most of all, your music choices which seem to bring them all together. Muchas gracias!
I appreciate the comment! :)
Enjoyed your video. If I'm not mistaken, your originally bought the GlaStar in Colorado. You did a great job arranging hangers along the way!
Thank you for sharing the flight.
That's awesome! Congrats! I live in Colorado and I almost have my PPL! Videos like yours and many other aviation UA-camrs really keep me excited for my PPL between lessons.
Thanks for another awsome video Amy! Well worth waiting for. Nice music choices too! I wish you the best! 👍😉
Thank you!!
Love the PNW…living in Vancouver b.c…..congrats on the new plane…..miss that 150 u had..
Very nice video, good luck in your new adventure
That was beautiful!!! Thanks for taking me along.
Great videos, nice music excellent flying. Good luck and keep safe
Sad to see you go, Amy. Hard to beat the beauty of flying here in the PNW, but looking forward to seeing what you come up with in CO. Fly safe!
Fantastic! Normally I loathe music on flying vids but yours was so good! Quality vid! Thanks 😊
Thank you!
Hi Amy. Will miss your flying here in the PNW but look forward to CO adventures. Thank you for your CG service from KBLI
Thank you for the kind words!
Just picked up on you today. Great videos
More please I love the view. How I miss flying. Tunes were excellent choice. And the breakfast you had gave me the munchies.mmm.
Great views, that bird looks close to brand new to me, thanks
Very professional video! As always.
I watch these videos over and over. Amy lives my dream.
Great video Amy. Sad to see you leaving PA. You probably won't miss the mountains and the rain but the Pacific coast is hard to beat when it clears up. My favorite 2 days of the year:)
I'll miss the green trees and blue-tinted snow-capped mountains! (Yeah, those are my favorite two days of the year, too.) Don't be a stranger if you find yourself out this way!!
Great video Amy, as always a pleasure to watch. What a stunning flight, you must've been enjoying that to the max. The views on the mountainous areas, so beautiful!
Great video Amy. Hope to meet up again. You were pretty busy covering your plane at Oshkosh the first time we met. Safe flights.

If you get the chance to fly up to Mccall, ID, the view and experience is beautiful. There are a few great grass airstrips with little restaurants that serve some of the best food I've ever had. Great videos. Don't stop chasing the wind...
Nice flying thank you for the video a lot snow and mountains have a good day
Thanks for the ride Amy ! Woodstock looks good !
Beautiful flight!!!
Love the 205 @ 3:18
BLR tail fin w/ strakes and a very cool paint job.
Thank you for posting your videos. I wish you well in your new career. If I had a daughter I would want her to be like you. I hope to see more of you as you go though your training. Smiles
Hello Amy, I fly out of KEIK. It was fun to see you landing here in Erie. It is cool to see it from a different point of view. Welcome to Colorado.
Thank you!!
Good luck Amy! I was always hoping our paths would cross out here in the Pacific Northwest. I just missed you during one of your flights into my home base of Arlington Airport. Regardless, best wishes in all your future adventures!
Hi Amy. Welcome to Colorado!! I'm your hanger neighbor. Keep my little Zenith 601 one hanger row to the west of your location. Hope we run into one another soon. When you get that A&P done I'll be glad to have you help me with annuals. And did I understand from your videos that your a CFI? What a great asset you'll be for KEIK community!!
Hi! Such a small world. I hope to see you out there too. Unfortunately KEIK is temporary until a full time hangar opens up at KCFO. I’m sure I’ll commute up there often though! I am indeed a CFI, and I’m looking for work. Haha
I rented a home in Rock Springs at the base of Aspen Mountain(where the radar bubble near Rock Springs Regional Airport is)2018-2020 when I worked for UP in Wyoming. The winds there were insane all the time seemed to be so calm when you came in though.
So beautiful
Cool videos. Nice music, nice scenery, cool vibes!
Welcome to Colorado! My son and I are based out of KBJC, just up the road from KEIK. We own a 77 Grumman Tiger AA-5B. My son is a CFI and I'm just a former Navy pilot bum. Look forward to seeing Woodstock in the air above Mile High Country!
Fly safe and fly often!
I'm currently going to Spartan for my A&P and hunting for a CFI job at BJC. If I find one, I'll be around literally every day!!! Say hi if you spot me, and thank you!!
@@amywhite375 - Good luck. Spartan is a great school. If you are ever at KBJC, look for us on the Western Air Academy ramp... that's where we park our Grumman. It's currently undergoing some engine work, but we'll be out there again soon.
Fly safe and fly often!
Thanks for another great video, Amy. I'll miss your videos of flying around the PNW--where I live--but now I look forward to learning about flying in CO.
Your videos are always a win. The videography is top notch, but the music always makes it!
great trip. Like you, have said goodbye to my trusty C150 (AKA Rooster) and welcomed a homebuilt into the family... a bright yellow RV6! My wife thinks woodstock would be a good name, but I told her it's taken.
Congratulations! There can be more than one Woodstock. In fact, there is. A friend named Ed has a yellow C150/150 taildragger that was called Woodstock long before I bought my Woodstock! "Little Yellow Bird" also seems to be popular. :)
Amy just want to say, you do such a great job flying, music in route and flying scenery. I wish all UA-camrs were half as good as you. Keep up the videos and great luck on your new adventures.
Thank you so much!!
Welcome to Colorado!! I moved here 10 years ago, spent 3 in the front range, then move out to the 4 corners area. You're going to like the opportunities to get out, but good luck with Front Range traffic!! :)
Head on a swivel!!! Lol, thanks!
Great job CFI/A&P Amy 👍
You stand out from the rest on utube.........you became a CFI/A&P & your real.....country & you keep it simple with electronics .
Amy Great video. Glad you made it safely. Love your video and look forward to many more. Can't say I am sorry to see you leave the PNW. My niece works in PA at one of the banks there. Thank You for your service. My husband is a USA retired MSG. Stay safe.
Welcome to my home state. Just a little bit South of you. (I'm around the Colorado Springs area) Hope you have a good time here and keep taking those videos.
Thank you so much!
Your a class act Amy . Perfect . Keep them coming 👍
Thank you!
Amy between your beautiful airplane and great video edits, I just love watching your flights. Good luck in CO and keep up the flying and videos!
Sweet flight! Great choice of music. Thank you for sharing.
Great video Amy!
Thank you!!
Excellent video! Also, LOVE the AV 30's!! Just had mine installed. Adios antique vacuum pump:) Best of luck Amy and thank you for your service!!!
Thank you! Yeah those AV-30’s look nice. (I wish I could say they work as nice as they look.)
Beautiful looking aircraft! If you haven't flown it to Oshkosh yet for the EAA convention, come on up!
There is a Glastar group meets in Madison WI, then they show up at oshkosh in a mass arrival!
Amy you are awesome. I love to watch your flying. You do your thing. Great. Woman in aviation are phenomenal. I love it. Makes you special. Always save flights. All the best from Germany. Keep on going. 😎☀️👍🛩
Love videos like this, Woodstock is lookin really good!
Always enjoy watching your videos! Thanks for all the hard work. Luv that "Happy Dance". Congratulations on the move. Looking forward to seeing more.
Blue Sky's and Tailwinds
Fantastico !!! Bravissima !!! Thank You for this video 🙏👏👏👏👏
You flew over KEUL, my home base. Thanks for the quick shot of it.
Looks like a fun airport!!
@@amywhite375 it is, thanks.
I love that little plane, looks like a blast.
Breathtaking scenery. Thanks for sharing ✈️
Great flight. Recently purchased the AV-30 for my Luscombe that has no vacuum system. Hoping it's as good as it's marketed to be!
Whoa whoa whoa...., What the hell is going on? You just got to PA and now you’re off to CO? You gotta tell us what’s up.
Love that little AV-30 unit. Gonna look into one of those. Okay, we’ll take it easy and good luck in the new chapter w Amy and Woody,
Very nice video with great views and upbeat music. I would like to have more from you on how you planned your route and a little more about each end of the day airport and the local town. Best of luck with your new location. Look forward to seeing adventures from Colorado.
Congratulations on your new careered and best of luck to you. I look forward to viewing more of your adventures with Woodstock:)
Congrats on the next step in your life! Looking forward to more videos.
Wow, I just watched your first video and wanted to ask how you were liking living in Port Angeles! Now I see this one haha
Nice trip, Amy! Thanks for the lift..
Welcome back! Love the videos. Great job! This might be your new calling!?!
Beautiful scenic flight. I wish you did some narration along the way. Safe travels
Thank you! (I really hate doing narration because that means I have to hear myself. Haha)
great flights, awesome trip, thanks for sharing. nice plane.
Damn, I was hoping to catch a ride with you! I work at NOAA on Lake Washington and thought we could cross paths. Good luck and I'll keep following you!
Rarely calm at KLGD. My first landing there was simulated engine out on my check ride and it was breezy! Good luck on your new endeavor.
Smooth sea never made a skilled sailor!
When visiting these remote airports are courtesy vehicles common, always wondered that thanks
Fairly common! Many on a first come first serve basis and not always guaranteed.
Great video as always.
Thank you!
Hey Amy enjoyed the video you have come a long way, the bug bit hard after that first flight in edenton nc
It bit really hard. It is SO GOOD TO HEAR FROM YOU!!! Oh my gosh. I really hope you’re doing well Mr. James!
@@amywhite375 Doing good , I really like the new plane and the videos are super.
Sad to see you go, we will miss you both.
Amy, Congrats on your move and new job. Love your music choices!
More videos! I really enjoy these!
Please keep making videos with that plane! I want one as my next plane and keep my eye open for an affordable one or a Symphony 160 model.
I’ll keep putting videos out. Thank you!! I hope you find one.
Great flight, welcome to Colorado! I'm just about to start flight training at BJC just south of there.
when i seen this video in my youtube feed, i clicked on it fast, i never clicked on a video that fast, Great Flying, i guess this was the cross country flying you told me about
Good luck with everything 👍🏻
so funking music ... :) love your videos ! ❤️
Thanks for posting! Don't be too self-critical about the landings - you walked away from every single one of them!
G,day Amy from Sydney Australia.
* great to see you back promoting your channel.
* Woodstock looks ready for fun: wow what a shine......
* I wonder If you are still with the Coast Guard?
* Some amazing views in deed.
Best wishes / John (nil emogies)
P.S Are you wanting to leave snow?
Awesome video, Good luck with the new gig, Fixing aircraft is nearly as good as flying them.....yeah, naaarrrr. But it is still fun :)
Great video keep them coming.
Love seeing this Wyoming airport!! KRWL and KSAA is our home base, stop in for the hot springs
I may be back to visit!
Hope you like snow.
Funny you say it. Since I left WA, it has been weeks of straight sunshine. It's been snowing every week in CO. Haha!
Nice video.
Have fun in high country, Amy....
Welcome to Colorado! I am a local pilot flying out of BJC and EIK.
Thank you!! I'm excited to be here!
Did you say hi to my comrades at the Life Flight hangar? You parked right next to our base in La Grande.
I would have, but I didn't spot anybody. That's my dream job for the short term!!!
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Beautiful flight and fine camera work! Sorry you are leaving PA/Sequim my home base. Would have loved to have run into you at Fairchild but I may be moving to Colorado soon so maybe our paths will cross sometime. Best wishes and please keep the videos coming.
Beautiful.
Top notch as always!
Welcome to Colorado!
Welcome to Colorado! You just missed snowmageddon.
All in my plan!! Haha, thank you.
Love the cockpit dancing!
I've been to KRKS! on my trip back from Oshkosh to SoCal
Pretty cool town!!
I know lots of folks default to the square G5's But I do love the look of the round digital gauges. Great video as always. Thanks for your service in the Coast Gaurd!
If I could have a do-over, I would have went with G5’s. These are very glitchy!!! But agreed, I love the round classic look.
@@amywhite375 instead of the G5's if you at some point do a do over, would you consider the GI-275's to keep the round look? the display sizes are actually quite similar to the G5
Great video. Thank you
So now you are outta “the Guard?”!!😱
Nice shot at 11:20, departing Rock Springs with shadow.
Thank you! I liked that too.
