    WTH!!! I was looking for an explanation of some kind as to what happened to you,so what's the story Capt.you owe us an explanation please.I was sincerely concerned!!

    • @captmoonbeam
      @captmoonbeam  5 років тому +32

      Joe Thanks. I really appreciate your concern and I do owe you and others an apology for not making it clear that I was posting periodic updates on Instagram. UA-cam doesn't make it easy to do this. I've been busy and there have been changes at work and in my personal life that have taken up time. The changes in my life are nothing more than a time consuming inconvenience and will work out. I can still make videos and I'm making time to do that now but, not all of the flights are appropriate for this. Some of these flights are to medical centers and I don't make videos on any of these flights. Sadly, unless there's divine intervention on the scale of a miracle that won't end well. There are other flights I can't make videos on also. These are for much less serious reasons such as business considerations but, those restraints are only temporary. At a point in the future I'll be able to speak more on this.

    When I was growing up always wanted to be a pilot. With the passage of time and being unable to fulfill my dream , I started watching You Tube. I have thought about what type of pilot I would have preferred. Your job is pretty hectic at times but for the most part predictable. You are always flying to different destinations where as Airline Pilots fly the same route the majority of the time. If I was able to live my life over and become a Commercial Pilot, I would be very happy in the R/S next to you handling the radios and being able to do some flying! It's not about how much you make but how happy you are in your career!

    • @captmoonbeam
      @captmoonbeam  5 років тому

      Thanks James. There's a lot of truth to that last part. Before I was a pilot I was the manager of a store and my store was the highest profit store out 360 stores. I hated it and ran away to be a pilot. I watch flying videos also.
