    It was my wife and I’s one year marriage anniversary on the 15th. We didn’t get to do much because of the lock down here in Washington. It would be so freakin cool if you did like a shout out or say happy anniversary to me and my wife adryanna. We usually will get some fast food or something and turn on your videos to relax. You have made this quarantine more peaceful. We thank you for that.

    From personal GA experience flying in NY is a very stressful thing to do. Especially when learning how to fly out of KFRG for private and instrument. Glad that you were able to fly into one of our busiest airports!!

  • @theoph3777
    @theoph3777 4 роки тому +1

    Love your videos . . . learning experience, since we fly similar aircraft. (COL4) Flying an approach at higher than normal speed is a skill worth practicing when at busy airports.

  • @dheyes803

    The most congested airspace. Got to love the hospitality of the NE ATCs. Live ATC.net has captured some really intense communications between pilots and controllers. Got to be on top of your game. Glad you survived your sanity while you were there.

    Good video, as always! I gotta admire your ability to switch from the business man and pilot (and youtuber!) mindset back and forth on a dime. You gotta be well organized and calm to be able to be successful in both.

    Glad that you flew yourself to the NYC area for the first time! Been KTEB and visited Meridian 4 times, mainly for the sightseeings over the Hudson River SFRA in C-172. I am not 100% sure if it is doable in a SR-22, but if so I wish you will get the chance to do it a few times during the day and in the evening. Also Meridian is certainly the more economic option in that area, the ramp fee waiver is similar to many FBO’s in the midwest, and the cervice never disappoints :)

    Tired - I love that you bring little details like that out in your video. It's the reality of flying. Imagine if you had to hand fly the entire flight:) I remember seeing Erie for the first time (from the ground). It's HUGE and it's not even close to the largest of the Great Lakes. Lol at the taxi instructions before the landing.
    It was good to see normal (on the ground). I look forward to seeing normal again.

    Another awesome video Niko. I admire you're business endeavors and understand the hard work you put in to make it happen. Flying is a passion but also a necessity for your business. I worked in Field Sales for 23/yrs. My "plane" was my car. I wore out 8-auto's and drove over a million miles in my career. Then one day? The passion was gone! Mostly due to the traffic on the highway's. When I watch your vid's and look thru the camera's eye, it seems so peaceful (except when you're trying to land in NYC). Good luck with the business and as always, thanks for sharing a part of your life.

    I'm not sure if you're a COPA member, but Bill Frank has an excellent article in the April 2020 COPA magazine on high speed approaches in the Cirrus. He ended up getting vectored around for 25-30 minutes at a busy airport because he couldn't maintain the speeds ATC wanted for an approach. His technique was born out of this frustration. I found the article very helpful and plan to try it myself the next time I go up, for these exact situations.

    • @NikosWings

    If you ever make it back to Northwest Arkansas, I suggest landing in Bentonville (KVBT). They have a very nice restaurant with a large indoor hanger with various planes on display. No ILS approach, but most of the time the weather here doesn’t necessitate an ILS approach, and the GPS approaches are more than adequate.

    Got my first flying lesson at Teterboro back in Feb.68. Very different back then. Lots of flight training from several schools. No real controlled airspace other than the immediate area around the big airports. Flights up and down the Hudson River with very little, if any, radio communications with anyone. Kind of like the Wild West back then but even then as now aviation was and still is a small community where people know people or know of people. About three years ago I visited with a couple that were building an aircraft right across from my hangar in Naples Florida. An older gentleman that had been helping them asked where I was from and I said I grew up in New York but learned to fly out of Teterboro. He said he use to flight instruct out of there. When he told me his first name I provided his sir name. He was my first flight instructor from 1968! Talk about a small world!!

    I learned my PPL in that area. First intro flight out of Princeton Airport, then years later, PPL at Linden (KLDJ) 3 mi from Newark Intl. you want a challenge? Try learning there haha.. No tower at KLDJ, helicopter traffic in and out all day (news crew) and dealing with KEWR appr and departures.. better listen up and listen fast, else... you’ll get a severe tongue lashing from controllers and/or call request.. it’s crazy and I loved every minute. Also, ZERO options coming out of Linden.. loose an engine and eat a warehouse, train tracks or traffic on Rt. 9. I went 7600 (elect failure) coming out of Linden.. had to scud the NJ turnpike to stay out of Bravo. Made it back home by dusk.
    Good times!
