  • Flying the Piper Meridian from Dare County, NC (KMQI) to Washington Dulles (KIAD) and back. Significant icing on the way there and some screwy routing and how to deal with it on the way back. All for Eaglemania's first theater show in months at the Birchmere Theater in Alexandria, VA.

      Thank you and thanks so much for watching and reaching out! Before COVID, Wisconsin was one of our sweet spots - we've played 8 or 9 different venues there, including the Pabst in Milwaukee, Oshkosh, Green Bay, the Dells, and Eau Claire. I think there are some dates in the late fall. Keep an eye on our website (www.eaglemaniaband.com) for when they get confirmed and I will try to remember to reply again here.

    Great video, as usual!!! Wonderful to see how other brains plan and execute a flight! Didn't know you were based at KMQI - I remember vividly flying there on Dec 17 2003 for the Centennial... on the return to JYO I waited 45 rainy and muggy minutes in line with the engines running on the Cessna 310R I had then... now I have Meridian N31062 (RVSM Certified!) based at Manassas. Next time you fly to the DC area I very strongly recommend KHEF over KIAD!!!

    • @lifeinthefl94
      @lifeinthefl94  3 роки тому

      Thank you and thanks for reaching out! I'm occasionally based at MQI - we have a summer house on the OBX and I am primarily based at KCDW. I have fond memories of HEF; I actually did most of my PPL training at IAD (there was actually a couple schools based there in 1993) and soloed at HEF. I actually like IAD for the services, proximity to DC, and they are CAA so it's not outrageously expensive. Hope we cross paths sometime soon!

      Thank you and thanks for watching! There are a couple venues that we regularly play at in Maine but I'm not sure if anything is confirmed on the schedule yet. There is a lot on the schedule that just keeps getting shuffled around because of the quirkiness of the re-opening pace. Just keep an eye on our website calendar (www.eaglemaniaband.com) and I'll try to remember to remind you when something comes up which it inevitably will.

      @lifeinthefl94  3 роки тому

      Lol - we get that question all the time! I actually am the drummer! It helps contain the sound so that the drums dont bleed into the vocal mics and it makes it much easier for our sound guy to get a good vocal mix and control the sound of the rest of the band. Thanks for watching!

    A bit confused as to why you still were taking ATC direction even after IFR cancellation. It's like using CVFR except we don't use that in the US.

    @toddw6716 2 роки тому

    I guess your IFR, today’s pilots can’t see out the window because they got so many cameras. Safety hazard but hey as long as you make a good video. And if anything goes wrong we have a front row seat what not to do. Traffic 1 o’clock 1/2 mile we’ll forgetabout it

    • @lifeinthefl94
      @lifeinthefl94  2 роки тому

      Uh…no. I don’t do it if it isn’t safe. I can see perfectly fine and none of the cameras interfere with my forward visibility.
      As you seem to be trolling for videos where you can enjoy watching something ‘go wrong’, I strongly suggest you look elsewhere.
