Wow - One of the very best pilots flying one of the very best G.A.U. aircraft in and out of one of my favorite airports? This guy is an inspiration in every aspect. What more can I ask for? The only thing missing is the snow-covered backdrop. Not to compare myself in any way - not even close - but L35 is the scene of my best arrival and departure operations - smoothest landings. I guess I attribute that to the bit of extra care/attention it kind of requires plus I had to do those check rides in and out of there for the high-density altitude experience. My bucket list includes piloting a F90 - even if it's just an instructional flight. I'll probably never make that but watching this guy is almost close enough. Again, not to be smart a*&ed, but my first favorite SoCal airport to fly in and out of was LO5 (Kern Valley) approaching from the SE up through that pass tracking that State Route then threading the needle on downwind to base and final for the 18 to land facing the lake. That's another one where I was usually pleased with my landings and departures despite initial apprehension. It would be neat to see Rich fly the F90 in and out of there. As I recall, not much crosswind risk at runway elevation but the gradient/eddy winds coming in and out of there were sometimes a factor.
Thank you for your reply and compliments! We were actually considering flying to Kern Valley but then something came up and we headed for Big Bear instead! Definitely planning a flight to L05 in the future - maybe in the King Air! Where are you based out of? Are you still current?
@@bobspencildrawings6928 I may have missed them, but I've seen no vids of Rich piloting rotary, sailplanes or, of course, para gliders, etc. Do I win the sweepstakes or has he posted those?
I have 3,000+ hours in SN218 an F-90-1. Most missions were Bay Area to ktrk with longer trips to SoCal and Canada. That plane was bulletproof and I never had a missed mission due to mechanical issues.
did some of my early deals with help of the King Air looks great , miss the skiing big bear then playing golf in the desert same day times ahh what a life no regrets palms to pines - wheels up , blessings Rich and team OCR crew
What a sweet ride Rich! I live vicariously through your videos. You get to fly all the cool stuff. The King Air is one sweet ride. I have about .7 in a C90.
@@FlyingwithRich it was decades ago when I worked for an FBO at PDK no longer in business. Flew right seat from ATL to PDK relocation flight. Got to do the takeoff. Was fresh multi rating at the time and was not prepared for the climb rate of the C90. It was a blast! Been flying a Cirrus SR22 these days and just got my double-I. Flight instruction is part time thing, (day job is IT sales), but would love to do some contract right seat in a King Air.
Your videos have improved over the past two years. Not that they were bad before. Now you are fairly consistent with the info you give in each video, which is nice. Things like realistic speeds compared to the manufacturers published figures. Also fuel consumption, comparing the plane in the video to others in the same market. Just a lot of good info. Keep up the solid work.
Beautiful. Awesome video. I am from Europe. A very long time ago(1986) I have been the last time to Bigbear. With Cherokee N55066. Changed a lot. A mass of hangars there by now. What a beautiful place with a lot of memories. Nice King Air. And your video best best enjoy like always. Thanks for this video.
Great video! King Airs are awesome! I flew a C-99 model for a commuter airline. The first thing I'm going to do after I win the lottery is go out and purchase a King Air.
Thanks Rich! Appreciate the looks at different planes/configs I don't get to see often! As always, I learn something every time, every day. That KA is just a beautiful airplane, and love that paint! That would make a great picture for wall hanging LOL. Appreciate you, thanks again! 8) --gary
Had a couple stops at Big Bear in a Cherokee 180 about 10 years ago. A little different experience than in a King Air but really cool regardless! Beautiful place in an unexpected location.
I subscribe to a lot of aviation channels, this is one of my favorites, look forward to it every Saturday. I Love seeing all the different planes. I appreciate your work and putting it out there for us, thanks Rich. What's your favorite plane to fly?
Really hard question to answer - so many great airplanes out there. Always loved the Cessna 185 - fits my style petty well. Want to do a video on one - have a friend who has a very nice one but it’s in Oregon. Hopefully will do a video on it soon.
I love how you describe the events and workings of the aircraft in a very professional way definitely had to subscribe to the channel thanks for posting
Was assigned to Norton Air Force Base in the 70's. Took a car ride to Big Bear several times. When I first reported, the smog was so bad I didn't even see the mountains nearby. I got base approval to have my Cherokee 140 parked at the Aero Club. I was only 18.
Thanks for sharing, I am disabledand cannot become a pilot so I hire planes to take my grandkids flying. I love your video's keep them coming please.... I should have joined the Airforce instead of the Army. All they let us do was rapel and jump out of them lol. Again much Love thanks
Another well put together showcase of a high performance airplane. Definitely an inspiration to watch you live the dream flying these amazing unique airplanes. Your channel has definitely made an impact to an up and coming commercial pilot like me. Keep up the great work, Rich!
Dont forget to tap the brakes before retracting the gear up!. Nice paint job on the F90, much better condition than the one I was flying up in the arctic.
I've always said that if I could get my pilot license that's the kind of airplane I've always wanted. The blue color makes it an even better looking aircraft
Know the airport well. Have a house in Running Springs. You are so right about the fog. My house is around 6k feet. Many time the fog level is below us. Beautiful but driving the 330 through it is challenging.
May have heard you fly overhead both ways. If so, one of the quietest turbo-props I've noticed. We're almost directly inline between PDZ and LGB. Did my solo at LGB, January 1st, 1985 ! 1st XC L66 (AJO now) to Borrego Valley (L08 now. Believe it was private back in '85), Feb 17, 1985.
Gotta admit that's one good looking King Air! Big Bear is such a cool area, maybe one day we will head out that way . . . Wished we could make the fly-in, sounds like a blast!!!!
Great video Rich. Thanks for sharing! Always enjoyed flying in the King Air. The company I worked for a number of years back had one in its fleet. Occasionally, I flew in the King Air on business trips.
Yea! Someone with a real GTN750!!! I thought I was the only one who had one. I use it in x-plane11 with my eclipse 550ng and love it. It's great to see one in real life!
Is that a "-1" model F90 with -135 engines? Used to fly one of those many years ago. Fun airplane that really went at low altitude. Brings back memories watching this. Nowadays I fly Boeings in and out of KONT frequently, and have been up to Big Bear a couple times by car. Nice spot. Thanks for the air tour!
@@FlyingwithRich Quantum leap forward...except for the dual cue FD. Flown single cue my entire career...until this update. I'm used to it now though, lol...
its the best for short field, high and hot , range, speed, slow speed. I don't know any other aircraft that can fly slow and fast except for the helio courier that is as flexible as the F - 90. C's are a little lethargic when loaded with fuel and people, but the F has no weight issues at all.

Always satisfying to hear the PT6A spool up sound! Especially on a King Air. Keep it up Rich.

That's a fine looking King Air. Good luck to you sir.
Thanks for another awesome clip, a lot of good memory from Big Bear. I will be in town during Christmas holiday leave.
Thanks for watching!

That C90 gives King Air a good name!!!!

Isn't UA-cam wonderful. I'm so happy I found this channel. Much love from Queensland Australia.

I love the mountains. Haven’t been to Big Bear lately - so beautiful up there!
Good video good aircraft
Nice back ground music
Sound
Man, what a hot rod!
The King Air 90 is an awesome option for a personal AC
And for a business!
F90 pure class
Wonderful flight good Pilot you Great
Great sounding engines!! Looks great Avionics
Beautiful plane!

Pretty cool to have solo flight at Long Beach!
For sure I would love you channel I just subscribed 🤩🤩🤩
Painted the centerline with the nose wheel of that beast on takeoff. Awesome video
Thank you!
i’ve stayed at big bear many times. never knew this was there. i’ll check it out
Nice King Air. Excellent video. Thanks
That was really cool, VFR into 26L....thanks for the ride!
Thank you.
Absolutely beautiful paint job. Great airplane.
Really enjoy your videos. Thanks
Thank you Frank!
Trm,endous quality videos, I think you do a good job transcribing the beauty of flight. The photogrpahy is splendid.
Thank you!
Gotta admit that's one good looking King Air!
Big Bear is such a cool area, maybe one day we will head out that way . . .
Wished we could make the fly-in, sounds like a blast!!!!
Hey Ron - it is a beautiful machine. Come to CA sometime!
What a great aircraft. Could be my choice for the future.
You can't go wrong! Thanks for watching.
Great flight in and out. It was good to have had the visual Rwy26 app
Loved flying the kingair type mainly the 200 think they are all very capable.
Great flying airplane!
Another great video Rich! I guess my questions would be.. how did you get into flying? What’s your background? Thanks!
Nice paint job good looking airplane
Dude, you're making me want to buy this plane😂😂
Thank you for sharing a beautiful aircraft.
Dear Rich, I wishing You all the best and a Happy New Year 2023

Thanks. Happy New Year!
Thank YOU.I Wish you again nominee from Biden Administration CEO.Good Luck.!!
Enjoyed the flight.thanks.
Thank you!
Great video Rich. Thanks for sharing! Always enjoyed flying in the King Air. The company I worked for a number of years back had one in its fleet. Occasionally, I flew in the King Air on business trips.
Very cool and thank you!
Nice video Rich! What brand is your jacket? I’ve been looking for something similar. Keep the blue side up!
You seem to have one of the best jobs in aviation. How do you stay current on so many different aircraft types?
another excellent video Rich, I have no time in 90s but maybe 3000 hrs in 100s and 200s, love your videos. Standing by for the next one lol.
Thank you!
8:55 - That is one extreme bank angle, looks close to 45 degrees.
Sure is nice to ride along with you thanks good job.Alaska
Thank you!
beauty of an aircraft
My knowledge of Big Bear is from a lady friend who has passed who lived in the tower years ago in Long Beach.
Yea! Someone with a real GTN750!!! I thought I was the only one who had one. I use it in x-plane11 with my eclipse 550ng and love it. It's great to see one in real life!
That bird's call letters should be S T U D 😁
Beautiful airplane! I’m a pilot myself and to me Beechcraft is the best!!! The king Air line is just awesome! Thank you for your videos!!!!
Thanks for watching
thanks a lot.... I'd love to fly with you Rich
be safe
Always welcome to stop by OCR if you are in the area!
Beautiful flight Rich. Will always miss my home town of SoCal.
Thank you! It sure is beautiful!
Rich that’s the KingAir that works for me
Best piece of tin ever built.
Even with the old collins pro line
It jumps off of the runway, and the vsi tops out when you climb,so you never know your rate of climb..and you don't care😊
850 shop per side...an absolute beast
Beautiful plane
I’m looking forward to riding with you in 2022 as well so let the camera guy that it’s nice to share the seat 😀
That's a good looking plane

Always enjoy these video’s. 1 question is when did Beech put the pitot style inlet onto the F90? I really like the look of these inlets.
