Nobody can dispute the Piaggio is the sexiest propeller twin aircraft ever. What an amazing aircraft.
Sexiest aircraft period!!! :)
No one in the UA-cam aviation space does videos like Owen. Every single time you post, i click. Another amazing video, looking forward to seeing more G4 stuff!
Thank you! More G4 stuff on the way!
@@FlyWithOwen This might not mean much but I really want to thank you not only for the content but for content with this plane. This has been my favorite private plane since one flew low over my house a decade ago and besides you, there's really no other content about it besides the occasional video trying to sell them
As he hits the prop with the golf clubs
nice explanation of the experience with the PIAGgio CFI
I second this sentiment!
There are very few aircraft that are as sleek as this beauty is. I always love these Piaggio videos, Owen. The background you shared with your journey to fly the Piaggio is quite remarkable. Those sunset shots were just so damn cool. Thanks.
Very cool story, Owen . . . and a BEAUTIFUL sunset from "above".
Thank you!
Another incredible video by an incredible guy! Thanks, Owen, for sharing your story. You are an inspiration to all of us!
I always look forward to your videos, they allow me to escape from a terminal illness for a nice period of time. Thank you
God bless you! I'm glad you have found an escape!
congratulations Owen...really great of you to put this content out there. you're def among the top tier. great job
Great to have another video 📷 from you Owen! Excellent 👌🏼 and excellent advice as to advance 💯 in life 👍🏼 totally agree! Take every opportunity 🙏🏼
That's an awesome story Owen, what a lucky find for an 18yo kid!!
Thank you! Yes indeed
Thanks for taking us along Owen. Love the Piaggio 🤙
Your videos are so influential, and full of helpful information. I hope to keep learning from you and follow your footsteps as I am a fresh commercial pilot and aspire to achieve the success that you have as a contract pilot. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos and help people like myself out! Keep up the great work!
Owen you are one of the very few UA-cam aviators who continually inspire me with every content you put out. Something about your aura is pure. Thanks for sharing your magnificent story how you came to fly the Piaggio Avanti.
Thanks for sharing your story about how you landed the great gig. Awesome vid!
It's always fun hearing that thing come into San Jose. Just makes such a a unique sound, can always tell exactly what it is.
Nice flight and nice to hear your experience. I am amazed how the Piaggio flies more like a small jet than a prop plane.
I love the unconventional engineering mixed with “Italian fashion.” Gorgeous.
Thank you, it is definitely more comparable to a small jet indeed
The sound at takeoff is like nothing I've heard before. Very unique airplane.
I’ve heard so many “right place, right time” stories in the aviation industry. Say ‘yes’ to everything, best advice ever! Tough headwinds but you gotta take the good with the bad. Great video, great flight…thanks for taking me along!
Fantastic vid Owen always look forward to these vids from you
Great video and story. Good for you! You get out of life what you put into it. Nicely done sir.
Awesome story Owen, love the videos. You're one of the few aviation content creators that gives a quality behind the scenes view and keeps it fresh every time. Also, as a controller myself, very much appreciate the comms in every video. Love the work!
Awesome flight thanks! I'm amazed how much communication is still necessary between the pilot and traffic control.
Such a beautiful plane, and thanks for the great shots. Safe fly Owen.
Yes incredible sunset oh so jealous. I loved hearing about how you got in that seat thank you. Really big fan love to see your success your and inspiration to young people Owen thanks for letting us see these flights 👍🏼
I'm getting back into aviation and listening to your radio chatter is helping me get tuned in. Love the videos.
Best pilot I have seen. Love the videos.
Awesome video! Your content quality keeps getting better and better. And it started high to begin with 👌🏽 keep it up! Greetings from Denmark 😊
Love this. The P180 is my absolute favorite plane.
Beautiful plane - great story - and wow, what a sunset.
great video as always...the sunset was the topper. safe travels.
Great job Owen!
Excellent pilot, thanks so much for sharing.
Thank you!
This editing is fantastic! From the intro, taxi, takeoff - the sound levels were perfectly balanced
Way to get that gear up!! Thanks for the flight!
Absolute BANGER
absolute banger of an editing
Edited by the best in the game!
Love the content Owen! Thanks for sharing your flights and your career path!
Thank you!
Awesome video! Keep doing more stuff like this!
What a sunset. As beautiful as the plane you were flying
Some time being in the right place does on Good. Thanks for the Story and another great Sun set Owen.
Thank you!
Nice video but be careful how quickly you raise the flaps in this bird. I'm sure you know how intense the sink rate can be. I know a couple Piaggio pilots that used to do that and eventually, during one instance, big gusts of wind came and sunk them right back onto the runway while obviously at high speed. Can just lead to unnecessary danger instead of waiting til 400ft. I've got about 5k hours in the thing so I've seen all sorts lol. Great work though and I am glad this beautiful machine is getting some air time.
You say you got about 5k hours on the thing but not a single post about it on your link. I see you had references to a sim profile, could this be the 5K hours you logged on?
@@henrylee8092 Huh? I don't think I was talking to you, sir. It was from one P180 pilot to another. He flew the plane beautifully, but that is something I noticed and as a fellow pilot, we shouldn’t be put down for pointing something out in a polite way. This is one of the first things your taught at Piaggio school at FlightSafety, the pretty intense sink rate. And if you were to get an engine failure in the Piaggio on takeoff, you’d leave flaps mid for a while until you’ve got a substantial amount of ground clearance due to the fact that a lot of lift is momentarily reduced when going from “mid” to “up”. Again, I’ll emphasize how great he was flying the thing. But my comment wasn’t meant for you.
Love your camera angles, good work! Amazing flight
I like the way your voice gets 2 octaves lower when you talk to ATC. So cool.
He must impress the dude sitting beside.
Excellent videography and editing as always!
Perfect Sunday morning video to watch before my IFR flight lesson.
Great story and awesome flight! Thanks!
Great story, Owen. Saying “Yes” is a big part of having a great aviation career!
Very cool to hear the story thanks for sharing that.
Great story about your becoming a Piaggo pilot...and a beautiful sunset on this flight.
Hi from 🇬🇧 great videos. Thanks for sharing your journey.
Great videos to watch & I think very inspiring to young people wanting to get started.
Great story Owen, thanks for sharing! I saw 2 Piaggio's on the ramp at KABQ a couple weeks ago. Love those planes. Took a pic with our 182 parked next to them.
Such an unusual aircraft but so very cool as well! Fun watching you sir!
Amazing story Owen! Something similar happened to me. About 2 years ago, I took a discovery flight with a guy at CNO in a Gyroplane. It blew my mind.. I made a video about it and it went viral on my little channel. I approached him with the idea of a UA-cam channel and he went for it. Fast forward to today and he's making me a CFI and not only am I going to Oshkosh for the second time this year, I may end up going to Germany for one of the aircraft manufacturers we represent. Just gotta step up and take initiative!
Cool story! Thanks for
Smooth operator. Best ride-along aviation UA-camr of them all. No competition.
What a machine, and what a pilot!
Great Video Owen ❤️❤️Absolutely Stunning Aircraft 👍👍
Enjoyed your story and enjoyed the flight.
Interesting story about you getting to fly the Piaggio. I always liked hearing that "snarl" from those pusher props when one of them flew into my local airport(HVN). I don't remember the last time that I heard that sound. It's been years. Thanks for posting your flight and talking about your experience. You never know when "that opportunity" will come along.
You Da MAN.... Thanks 👍
Done with real style Thank you.
Keep um comin. Luv your videos.
If I had it to do over again!! I love the P180 EVO! Thanks for the ride! Enjoyed your story!!
New subscriber here. I don't think it's possible to be cooler that Owen. that radio work... just awesome. Thanks for sharing!
Cool story...glad it worked out.
Great video Owen, what a view!
Awesome 👏
10:18 I love these situations where the universe presents a door and you just casually walk through it into something amazing
that was awesome man!. Right place at the right time! I'm here looking forward to find my first job as commercial pilot in Mexico
Amazing story sir!
Awesome flight! I went from fueling a Piaggio to flying one as well! Great airplane!
Good one. Thanks Owen.
Good flight 😊thanks again for sharing your journey 👏
Thank you!
Very cool story! Excellent aircraft!!!
Owen
You and PATEY are so much fun to watch.
Awesome life story. You seem to be a very proficient pilot. Right time, right place, right two people!
Awesome.
The Avantti is an amazing piece of engineering !
awesome story!!
Yes!
Another home run with this video! Never fails, love the channel brotha! 🤙🏽🤙🏽

Great job 👏
Thx for the details...
Great story.

Beautiful girl, beautiful bird! Stay high brotha!
Great story... congrats.
Thanks from Minnesota
🎉Great job, Owen! SCA Scottsdale
that's a beautiful plane
Very nice! I agree that networking helps with being in the right place at the right time. Very valuable insight! Enjoyed those stunning views too!😊
Thank you!
Please, as much as you can from the Piaggio P180!! Love your videos
That take off !
Wow that is a awesome story of how you come to fly the Avanti, the filming of the flight was top notch, loved every minute!!. Can't believe how big it is inside and the performance its has, what a great aircraft!
Thank you for watching!
Enjoyed the story, great advise to say yes to ever opportunity presented. I’m sure your youthful excitement and positivity were an asset as well. Nice video.
Thank you!
That's an awesome story
fantastic story of walking into a hangar like that.
13:30 whoa, beautiful.
Love to hear the real life "PILOT" stories!.
ALWAYS A professional; video from Owen!
Love the video man ! No truer words were spoken, had I not said ‘Yes’ to flying skydivers single ops on a Cessna 182 in a difference province (i’m from 🇨🇦) wouldn’t find myself as a co-pilot on a Citation right now. I’ve only seen a Piaggio once and it’s truly a remarkable looking aircraft. Can’t wait for more !
Its really cool how the rear gear folds up into the fuselage on the Piaggio! It's like a little fighter jet. LOL I'd love to see one live, I never really understood the canard thing. "Flap down" for lift to raise the nose? Very cool airplane!! Thanks! --gary
I dont know what it is about Owen's videos but i wish they were more frequent. Great content as always. Owen would make a great cfi or keynote speaker i feel.
That plane is badass Owen! Got my PPC in 1990 and stopped flying for 23 years after 2000. Just got back into GA and got checked out in (4) different types in the past 60 days and clocked (30) hours...One day I would hope to fly the big guns!! Love your videos young man...
Owen, love your videos! Especially love the Piaggio ones! Would love your thoughts on the recent Naples, Florida tragedy ✌
What an awesome story! A buddy of mine introduced me to the owner of a TBM 700 in Las Vegas, NV. I've been flying with him here and there for about a year now with another trip at the end of March to Florida. It's been a crazy experience, and I hope to meet a the owner of the Piaggio that I see occasionally here at my home airport one day.
Your piaggio story reminds me when you took me to San Diego after my biannual got canceled. Great video as always.
