I've been flying since I was 16 and at age 19 flew around the world by myself in the same 1981 A36 Beechcraft Bonanza I still fly, becoming the youngest person ever to solo circumnavigate by aircraft.
Now, I'm sharing all kinds of aviation adventures with YOU! Ride along as we explore the world from the air and get a close up look at some of aviation's best flight experiences and destinations.

Thanks for your nice video Matt. With all that equipment, you make cross country, look easy. I had a 1948 V tail Bonanza for some years, and just loved that airplane! I also had a Stearman( actually two of them, but not the same time) for twenty years. I also was into a Republic SeaBee for about three years and have a few hundred hours in it, but never got a sea plane rating. The Bonanza was just basic equipment and not as elaborate as you have. I bought it soon after I got my license in 1964, and had it until 1978, when I sold it for a down payment on a house. (Should have kept the Bonanza). I had to quit flying about 1983, when it got too expensive, and I had small kids to feed. I cried when we had to sell the Stearman! Thanks again for reminding me of the good old days! At 81, that's all I have is good memories!
3:50 gives a new meaning to 7-Hotel-Pop
Zach Heilman at 10:5 7 I’m pretty sure he wizzes in that bottle
Great clips! Your videos bring back memories. My father was a private pilot. He flew me all over the US in his 61 Piper Camanche 250 for 18 Winter, Spring and Summer breaks and various random trips up in down the eastern seaboard, Florida, Gulf Coast and Texas as a kid. Some notable trips, did Oshkosh back in the 70s (78-80) a few times. We buzzed the Statue of Liberty in 82. Went low level through the Grand Canyon in 84. My dad loved flying, never stopped doing it until the day he died. Keep it up, both flying and making the videos! As you know it opens up the world to you (and us viewers) and allows you the freedom too never stop exploring.
Hey Matt, thanks for another great video. And a big THANKS for mentioning the need for calf exercises on a long flight. Blood clots are common, not just in folks with a clotting disorder or older people, but in anyone who sits for a long period of time. The risk is heightened with dehydration, something that is almost inevitable in GA aircraft simply because emptying the bladder is a bit of a hassle. And, despite female urinals being available, female pilots and passengers are at even greater risk than their male counterparts...it's just such a PITA to pee in flight! Further, some types of oral contraceptives increase the risk of blood clots. The calf exercises and ankle pumps are essential for all, and many long-distance fliers might also consider popping an aspirin before a long flight. This can add extra protection from blood clots, provided, of course, that aspirin isn't contraindicated by a person's medical history and/or other meds...consult your practitioner.
As a critical care/emergency nurse, I frequently see patients expressing surprise that they've been diagnosed with clots, which can travel to the lungs and be life-threatening. They're surprisingly common, so thanks again for the public service message, and for another entertaining and informative video.
I'm Brazilian and I met the channel recently ... Congratulations on your work and thank you for inspiring me even more. Good flights!
Used to have an A36 like yours. Last and best of 4 planes. Pittsburgh to SW Missouri to visit family. Tip tanks. Great ride. Sold it to buy lot for retirement home on Eastern Shore of Maryland. Your videos ALMOST puts me back in the cockpit again. Thanks! Well done and keep em coming.
100 gals on board and 11.6 gph?!? My goodness that's awesome. Pair that with a nice tailwind and voila!!
Hey Matt, I absolutely love your videos. It's hard to find good quality aviation videos on UA-cam. I haven't seen a video of yours that I don't like yet! They're all really good. Keep up that good work.
Yes, it's pop. Enjoy your channel, Matt. New sub and aspiring private pilot. Love all your resources you give as well. Cheers.
Excellent episode as always Matt! Looking forward to the Traverse City VLOG. If it's anything like the Mackinac Island ep. I'm sure it will be great! Thanks for sharing and being the GA ambassador that you are.
I love you videos. I love aviation but with my eye problems makes it impossible so I have to live vicariously through all the awesome pilots who share the cockpit with us. I love how you show everything and awesome scenery. I so wish I could fly but not in this lifetime lol. Thank you very very much.
Your comments was emotional, I hope that you do something in life that you like. Stay strong bro
Then make sure to dream big!
Got the same issue, I feel your pain. Make friends in a flying club, if you can. You might not be able to get a license, but I'm sure there is someone who'd like to split fuel costs and take you up.
Treat yourself and get down to the local flight school. Explain your limitations and I'm sure a CFI will gladly take you out and let you fly. NO need for a license to do that. Enjoy the thrill!!!!
But I thought the FAA allows it so long as your eyesight can be correct to 20/20 with glasses or lenses... anyone care to explain please..
That was fun, Matt! That all glass panel is sweet. Thanks for bringing us along!
Can you tell me all the panel upgrades he has made till now? I am just getting to know about flying and I am fascinated by it, thank you in advance 😊
Matt, I fly out of Lawrence Municipal in KS and it always throws me off when you say Lawrence or when I'm searching Lawrence Airport! Love the videos!
Hi Matt, very entertaining, quiet trip on this video (Aberdeen-Florence). That was a great day to make that long flight, what with the good weather and the fabulous views! My congrats, again! Take care and have a Merry Christmas.
Nice to hear you use "pop" as opposed to "soda". I'm from the Chicago area and grew up with it being pop. Nice to hear people still using the term. I also had a pop explode on me like that when it slipped from my hand while going into the fridge. It went off like one of those spinner fireworks. I had pop literally from floor to ceiling. Including a cartoon style person shaped image of my on the fridge door when it stopped. Years later I still find an occasional drop someplace in the kitchen. As for the snack box...yeah, that definitely looks like a nice mom that's trying to hook her daughter a good husband! LOL
Had no clue what you were talking about when you said “pop” then I remembered some people say pop instead of soda.
I'm actually really in the habit of saying soda, having lived on the east coast for most of the last 5 years, but I figured I was in the Midwest, I was gonna say it the Midwestern way haha
In some places, it's neither; it's "soft drink".
@@mattguthmiller It's "pop", says the guy from Chicago. :) Make sure you open the bottles and cans at field elev and take a swallow or two!
Oh, y'all are probably talking about what Southerners call Coke. All soft drinks are Coke. "What kind of Coke do you want, Dr Pepper, Pepsi, Sprite, Mountain Dew?" ;-)
Jon the Pilot and use zip lock ( 1gallon bag ) bag for each carbonated drink
Hangar 9 sounds a lot like Sundance where I fly out of. If you are ever flying in Oklahoma and needing cheap quality gas and a great FBO, check out KHSD in Oklahoma. We have two range rovers as courtesy cars.
That peninsula in Wisconsin is actually Door County. It's very pretty up there. When you're at Oshkosh next year you should try to get up there if you can. Cave Point County Park is pretty cool!
I laughed out loud when I saw you move the yoke to the copilot side in cruise. That looks very relaxing. Great video!
Great video. I have really enjoyed following this this journey.
So awesome, dude! What a joy to be flying like that!
I just signed up to learn . you inspired me thanks . watching your video feels like being there .
On a return trip from Oshkosh, we left Green Bay in a Duke and got a clearance direct to Norwood (KOWD) at FL 250, had a chance to get up and stretch out in back. Clear weather and a nice tailwind. A very memorable trip.
Gm Furnald Was the duke converted into a turboprop
@@sparta3d229 Our Duke had the factory turbocharged Lycomings with 380hp each side, best performance was between 21,000 to 23,000 ft. where the we had a below 10,000 cabin altitude. At 25,000 the cabin altitude alert light would come on, meaning you had to keep an eye on the cabin altitude. I believe the turboprop conversion came out after it was sold.
Thank you for the trip, nice editing.
Hey, this is new subscriber in Hong Kong. There's the first time I am watching your video, It's really exciting on the sky with that beautiful view. It's very unlucky that the people in Hong Kong is hard to have that aviation experience. Hope one day I can have a RPL to operate the plane... very enjoy watching your video.^^
Welcome to the neighborhood. I'm in Idaho Falls. WY and ID have some wonderful scenery for flying.
I had the joy of flying F33A Bonanza's during flight training. What a beautiful aircraft it is!
I want to thank you so much went and got a book and love every minute so far as I get t listen and take it all in. Thanks to you
I always love the long solo flights. I've done many 1000+ nm in my Mooney.
Love the video and the plane! Hopefully secure a Bonanza for myself this year!
Much better snacks than what you'd get flying commercial. And we gotta get you flying around Michigan's U.P.. If you go to Marquette, you can land at an old Strategic Air Command base! They still have the old "Christmas Tree" and "Mole Hole" there.
You flew right over my house! Just north of Traverse. I met you when you flew into TVC like 5-6 years ago with your dad. I worked at the FBO there.
Thats awsome flying your doing. I did a 6 hour flight khsd to khnd in a f33a bonanza with no tip tanks. They are truly amazing airplanes.
Great video, it was even peaceful to me.
All the best Shaun of NYC
Very enjoyable video Matt. Wish my Model 35 had your kind of range. Enjoyed the music as well.
Cool video, and truly excellently-equipped Bonanza you've got. Doing IFR work, what kind of system do you use to write down your vectors, heading assignments, clearances, etc? I didn't see any paper.
Matt, another great video from you. One of my best friends is from Lawrence. Wishing you and the family a Happy Holiday Season and New Year! Jay
Great video, from a retired BOS approach guy.
Man, you're amazing to wear a shoulder strap for seven hours. Most all pilots shed it on initial climb out. You average 170 knots/ 196 mph over the ground for the flight. You are a very lucky man to have the use/ own an A36 Bonanza.
This was my 1st time watching one of your videos. Subscribed immediately. I’m a total dork for airplanes. How did you start flying?
Cool vid Matt! Keep up the good work!
I've been going to Sun N Fun for most of my life, and it is nice to see some things never change
I could never do it! Congrats to your brave heart!💗
Cleared from Aberdeen to LWM direct, that's awesome. 1186 NM
I used to do 14 hour flights regularly in light singles. Now I don’t go anywhere without catering and a bathroom. Enjoying your adventures!
Awesome video dude! I'm 12 and you inspire me to become a pilot. I just subscribed!
blewyd I’m also 12 years old and I want to become a pilot.
Yay you are going to my home airport KLWM in lawerence near Lowell , Andover , North Andover , and Methuen. Also about 30 mile north of Boston
Awesome, this video is very cool.😍👍
Is the Bonanza your own aircraft?
Very , very nice. Loved your video.
Thanks for the ride. I enjoyed this ... in 2020
The funny colors near lake Michigan look like an inversion to me. (you were looking over your shoulder when you said "funny colors", I was looking ahead in the line-of-flight). Inversions are hard-to-see if you are much above or below them, but when they are at your level, you see them.
Great Video !!!! Thanks for sharing
"Little peninsular that juts out" would that be Door County? Such a nice spot, and the cherries!
Stumbled on your channel. Love it. Hit subscribe immediately. Clearly you love your flying. Best wishes!
Thanks for all your videos! Please be careful!
Great Video Matt. I’m moving to Boston in June. Will be working at Logan tower.
Thanks Matt have a great Chrismas
Matt - sucha cool video and amazing versatility with the Bonanza. I think my longest XC was may 5 hours but not enough range for non-stop. Could I ask - for night flights, do you have a favorite flashlight for preflight and emergency cockpit lighting?
Hey Matt, have u ever heard of Bay View? It's across the bay from Traverse City. I grew up there in the summers and I might continue my flight training in Traverse City next summer. I am currently training at KBNA though because Nashville is my home town. If you read this thank you for reading of course and I love following your aviation journey!
I can’t get direct going 12 miles let alone 1,200nm! Bravo sir 👏🏻
Shout out from Michigan! Love the videos!
Great video as always Matt.
How much greater is your range with the tip tanks than one without? 1200 miles is really impressive. That kind of flying could really help with my business.
Was considering a Mooney, but this makes me want an A36.
Hi. I flew my 1962 Bonanza non stop Houston to Guatamala city. About 7 hours. Had a big jar and a raft. All went well did it 3 times. Everyone asked why not hug the coast and add 2 stops for customs and 3 hours. I was very happy to see the fishing boats after5 hours off the coast of Progresso Mx
Great video. I heard a tone on the radio while approaching, what is that?
And you are a far calmer person than I, for I don't think I could stand sitting that long in a small cockpit.
Can you do a breakdown video of all plane and gear you have?
Love the set up
Enjoying your videos. Thumbs up from Denmark
I live right next to Lawrence in Andover, and Lawrence is so fun to sopt, especially runway 32! :)
You get a 1200NM direct right after departure? That makes things easy!
#bestatc
pro tip : you can watch series on flixzone. I've been using them for watching all kinds of movies lately.
@Ronan Dominick yup, I have been watching on flixzone for months myself :D
Great video as always!
Need a closeup camera focused on those gorgeous Garmin glass touchscreen avionics, you lucky guy. Nice! To fill idle time in flight, discuss their features for folks not familiar.
@Matt Guthmiller I live in Traverse city,MI. What day was this and when did you visit Traverse City? Can't wait for that video.
I have a summer cottage on a lake a little more than an hour from Trenton, Ontario. That's where the Canadian Airforce is located, it's a big military and coast guard base there. I have C-130's fly over my lake a few times per summer at an altitude of like 300 feet.
There's tons of little airports and towns you should check out. IE Bancroft, Ontario airport (CNW3). The airport is owned by the flying club but open to the general public (it also has a restaurant). The Town of Bancroft is the mineral capital of the world and has tons of mom and pop shops to check out.
Nice work, must be awesome up there
You can fly IFR in Kenya. Aviation in Kenya is wonderful, highly recommend it
I want to see you move the yoke to the other side... also I would spend my whole flight monitoring my flight and equipment. The one time I spent too much time reviewing charts, my autopilot took me 40 miles off course over central Kansas. Brief moment of panic trying to figure out where I was.and why. That was pre-glass cockpits, but technology in not infallible.
You should make a rule no drinks under pressure. Why take the risk of drinks exploding and taking out electrics.
Pretty cool to see my companies pistachios in your airplane with you....haha! Great video
You must be from Bakersfield.
Haha. You say “Pop”. That’s awesome.
Nice flying as usual Matt. What other planes you can fly it like this?
Great video Matt...just need to correct the length of your flight parameters...we fly Sydney - Perth (Australia) -1770 nautical miles straight across the country but the bladder and the fuel tank scream loudest...Cheers Ian
Like your set up on your panel. Have you posted what’s on the panel and who installed. Would like to do the same. Awesome.
Awesome trip, thanks for the ride. Now that you have graduated, what are your future plans??
Nice job!! that was a long flight.
How did you get the GTN750 to where you don't have to enter the 1 on frequency changes? I can't find it anywhere. :)
what cameras do you use in the cockpit, and what method of sound recording? separate audio recorder with splitter?
The exploding soda turned your plane into a Hotel POP-a :-)
I've had many flights like these where fatigue has been a big issue. What safeguards do you take to prevent from falling asleep? I've had two friends fall asleep on AP during long cross country solo flights.
You should do a video on how you can change the yoke to the other side. I don't have a lot of experience with bonanzas, so it'd be cool to get an inside look!
You see it in many other videos. The yolk is on a center of the cockpit attachment and sweeps like a clock through the 12 position from the left to right seat.
I enjoy this video so much!
Great pilot and strong plane, 11000 ft above the ground is very high, according to this little plane, but the plane was so smooth, even landing was so smooth.
Awesome Matt. Just fantastic.
Cory Robin is it time to Make Matt a Flying Cowboy?
We need to do a plane swap. ;)
Cory Robin lol yeah Matt needs to get a Carbon Cub or at least a kitfox like trents. Cannot wait to get my Kit fox and come fly with y’all out at High Sierra.
@@Finallybianca it'll be fun to have you among us! come say hello when you get a chance.
Your reserve is more than my diamonds tank capacity of 25 gal.
Longest I've gone is 4hrs from Moncton to Montreal with a strong headwind and I only had about 50 min of fuel left.
Also, you're lucky to be able to fly at 11k w/o oxygen, in Canada you need oxygen above 10k if you're up for more than 30 min.
Great video, Sir. I have Bo envy.
How do you secure the wingtip camera? And what camera do you have in the front windshield?
keep up the good work. Did you know that you don't have to press the "1" to enter the frequencies e.g 123.34 can be entered "23.45"
Least it works like that on others.
Nice landing chief!
Thanks for the tag a long . Good Stuff.
Thanks for the cross country flip!
What camera do you use behind you, when you were landing at night? Because I can't seem to get my GoPro to get any good or at least decent quality for night flights. It really sucks sometimes.
What a sense of freedom it must be to be able to move around like this...
Lots of stamina. I get tired and confused: 'I came, saw, forgot what I was doing. I retraced my steps, got lost on the wayback, now I have no idea where I am, or what's going on' type of thinking. 4 hours max for me . Thank you for the video. Fly safe.
