Jaime's LAST Fly-In Ever ~ Contest Announcement??
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 сер 2024
- Jaime's displeasure of flying into the major airshows (Sun 'n Fun and AirVenture Oshkosh) has grown over the years. Unfortunately this one may have pushed her over the edge. We avoid holding IFR on the way down to Lakeland by inching closer and then canceling to go VFR down low in the bumps for the final leg. The Lake Parker Air Traffic Controllers threw us a curveball with the Winter Haven bit and the main tower at Lakeland lost their communications temporarily. Finally, a slower Cessna that was told to go to the skinny runway slid over and landed in front of us causing me to try to point right a little in the flare in case he slowed rapidly.

Love to see the teamwork between you two. No negativity, no backbiting, and no meanness between each other. That’s the way a good marriage should be. It’s a team effort. Great job. 👍
OMG! These fly-in's are crazy. Flew in to an airshow as a passenger on a 172 and will never forget the ATC telling us to follow the Sherman instead of Stearman. My friend piolting was like, "There's a tank in the pattern?" Great job Kevin and Jamie!
I totally get it. Jamie doesn't need to do any more fly-ins if she doesn't want to. Got to respect that Kevin. On that note nice job Kevin handling the stressful approach!
Poor Jamie. I felt for her on that one. It really is a testament to the training these pilots go through when they can stay as calm as they do. Great job Kevin!
Back in the early 80's, my wife and I were flying into a west coast fly-in in a V-tail in mixed traffic and it was pretty stressful. I was glad to have her along as she was a pretty good navigator and spotter. It is an amazing feeling of calm one feels sitting in a lawn chair on the ground after a difficult and stressful approach and landing especially when we were landing in tandem with another plane. Felt the very intense emotions that Jaime was experiencing and will show this video to my wife as I am sure she will relate to her. Thanks for sharing this video!
“Wanna go do that again? Take a lap around the pattern?”. LOL... true love right there.
That look said volumes!
He hasn't been married long enough. Being a Dawg you should know better. Being a Smart ASS means = No Ass if he catches my drift.
I don't blame you Jaime. What a chaotic piece of flying and ATC is talking so fast.
This radio traffic stressed me out and I wasn’t even on the plane. 😳
Frankly I’m surprised the FAA permits it.
Thats what I cant understand. With all that ATC chatter, how des a pilot keep track of any info for his particlure plane?
50 years ago my Dad and I did this at Oshkosh in his Champ...and his plane was without radios! How the Hell did that happen?
You said it! I was a Patrol Plane radio operator, and at sea, NEVER had traffic like that! Good goin' you guys. Eyes out the cockpit. JJ
Stressed me too ya'll 😁
This was the most suspense I've seen on an airplane show since an old Sky King episode where Penny had to land land the Cessna
~ I almost tossed my Fig Newtons>>>>>>>
@@glennellis1584 Very funny comment.
That was very scary. Wow.
Good ol' SkyKing.
I loved that show when I was a kid (way back in the late 55's early 66's).
My dad had an Aircoupe (I believe the Alon A-2, with the sliding-bubble canopy...like a flying Batmobile). That was fun! He had it staked out at the old (original) 'Tamiami Airport' in Miami/Dade County, FL. South side of the Tamiami Trail-8 Street (but has been FIU for many years now).
I hope Jamie doesn't cave in to her fears, but overcomes them.
Kevin is a very competent pilot; it appeared to me that the ACC's were on top of it all.
If nothing else, couldn't Kevin have just flown out of all that mess for a few or so minutes; then come back when/if things were less hectic?
Now about that whole radio going silent...that is a bit spooky. The must be some protocol for when that occurs.
That was intense!!! Way to stay calm and cool Kevin!! Nice flying. The jokes at the end was hilarious…. Great video!
Holy moly that arrival!!! It just shows it’s not always plain sailing. Great video.
That arrival was as about as batshit mad as anything anywhere - well done for keeping it all together! Great job guys.
WOW...that was amazing and terrifying! Great job to you both. Kevin, your calmness in such a tense situation is truly commendable.
OMG!!! Kevin, glad to see you are still with us. I was sure Jaime had put you 6ft under after that approach experience.
Man - that was so crazy to watch. Loved your calmness. Awesome video.
you guys are the bomb. i started watching you guys because of jaimes raido skills didnt know she was a controller.would not miss the chance to watch and listen to you guys. God speed.
I’m with Jamie that was some crazy traffic but great flying by you, but still love flying with you guys ❤️
I could feel the anxiety! I had a pit in my stomach and sweaty palms just watchin' !! Good job you two. Flew in to Oshkosh years ago, brought back the terror.
That was an awesome arrival video, I almost felt like I was sitting there looking for traffic with you guys!
Watching this on my phone and my wife came in and sat beside me and said, "what's wrong, you seem tense?"
Amazing that there hasn't been an accident inbound to this event.
Actually the concept works well and could provide the FAA with ideas how to safely increase traffic into airports where air traffic controllers provide a more invasive service. VFR: see and be seen can work especially with more airplanes equipped with TCAS and ADS-B out. The event has an admirable safety record and moves traffic with minimal delays.
@@MrClevet3 Oshkosh does it well. This was a shitshow with a clusterfuck on the side.
You guys handled that landing so calmly and brilliantly! My heart was pumping and I’m just watching on UA-cam! Maybe Jaime’s idea of no more flying to fly-ins is a sensible idea!
The radio traffic was crazy! I'm impressed with how calm and composed both of you were. Excellent video!
Just wow Jamie, I'm with you. That is just nuts. ATC screaming, multiple bogies, you're really on your own on that approach but Kevin is just awesome. Keeping calm and just flying the airplane. Great job guys. And thank you both for including everyone on that video. You really brought it to heart. I flew into one years ago and like Jamie, NEVER NEVER NEVER again. Just not worth it. Way too many unknowns like pilot abilities and following direction skills.
Sorry Jamie for your stress I was sadden when I tears where seen, happy to see you at the fire pit.....
Damn, dude. My hands are sweaty after watching that. When the tower went dark I was, "What the f#!$?!:".
21:12 "Everyone on downwind turn base". Crazy. Thanks for sharing - you guys are great!
When ATC controllers begin to imitate auctioneers, I'm diverting to Tampa Exec KTDF or Peter O Knight KTPF and driving to Lakeland Linder. You two have superb cockpit crew coordination!
Wow! That was really stressful to watch and listen. I can totally understand the stress Jaime felt. Both of you handled it very well!
Kevin, great example of how a pilot should hold it calm in this kind of situations.
Wow, the level of congestion and a million things going on at the same time was a lot! And I've never seen Jamie so disturbed by the bumps. Great video as always.
Jesus, I thought docking my boat in a busy marina was stressful...... Props to you two
Two sets of eyes, Jamie’s communication and navigation skill and Kevin’s piloting skill and you handled it brilliantly!!! Excellent landing and evasive action regarding traffic on the runway. Well done!!!
I guess one thing is controlling the traffic and another being shit deep in it. It also gives you a whole different perspective.
of course hun
how are you doing
That controller was driving me crazy too Jamie. I would much rather hear her voice from the tower and not his.
I found myself holding my breath and then radio silence-WOW. This is the beginning of a great series.
You and Jaime are the best team. Serenity and control first. Great job!!! 👍🐱🏍
"Listen, don't touch my stuff."
"Roger that."
😅
Leave my radar alone, don't touch my radar.
Been there done that.
Good Gawd! No Freaking way would I be put into that cluster "F".
You seem to have not noticed that it was nonfatal.
@@geoh7777 Just a matter of time.
Holy Crap In My Pants!!! You guys handled your business... Jamie! No shame! Anyone worth their salt would have shared a tear.. You both prevailed!!! Outstanding team work!!
As a new VFR candidate (not done yet), this was amazing how you handled all that chatter. Just wow.
“Never, Never, Never, Never, Never again, No not one time Never again!” 🤣😂 I’m with you !! 🤣
Serious adrenaline! I love how he says “that was fun” and she gave him that look. 😂 great stuff you two, love the channel. 👍
Jaime, you did great. I'd give anything to be able to fly. Unfortunately, I'll never have the opportunity. Please keep up the videos. I love every one of them.
You guys champions! We flew into Oshkosh several years ago and almost got hit by a Pitts at the wrong altitude. Scary stuff for us. You guys pulled it off beautifully
I am having terrible anxiety watching this....I can't imagine how you two felt in real time.
Jaime's stressing was another processing load factor for the pilot. She did good spotting and answer backs.
I've never had the chance to fly. Life didn't allowed me the time or money to persue the pilot dream. The videos of you and Jamie mean more than i think you know. Thank you for sharing your travels with us!!!!!!
You guys did great in the situation. Jamie is a great sport. She still was trying not to smoke when Kevin suggested another lap around the pattern. Made me laugh. You both are awesome
Its easy to get caught up in the emotions of the moment, but Jamie had the right reaction. I'm with you on this one, Jamie

hello how are you doing
I didn’t know I could hold my breath that long...what an adventure!!! You two make an awesome team. Great cliff hanger on the previous video. Nice to be flying with you. GOOD JOB...both of you. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Awesome arrival! It was nuts but y'all did great. Jamie pushed thru well in a very tense situation...bent but not broken. Go Dawgs!
I liked when she said "are you okay with this?" during the landing.
Me either. She is Very sweet
That's nerve racking, but it always is when going to these events. Be safe, gear up.
That was crazy! Thanks for posting I thinking my blood pressure and heart rate is starting to come down :-)
I can not imagine going through that mess. You guys did great. Awesome channel!
First time Jaime almost turned green? Good job Jaime, great way to hang in there. Stress AND turbulence. Real life cross-country flying. Great video. Was that ATC or an Auctioneer?
Been waiting a long time for this one. UA-cam flashed up an old arrival. This one was MANIC. Poor Jaime those were real tears at one point! Well done both of you! Jaime might not want to fly to another one but it was a lovely look that she shot at you Kevin. Always love the channel. 👍😎 Tim (UK) 'Jodel Flyer'
You both are beast. I'm not a pilot but have sooooo much respect for your skill and love.

hello how are you doing
@@lydiaanderson4247 - Fine, thank you.
@@JodelFlyer weicome hunn
do you mind if we get to talk more off here
Excellent airmanship and situational awareness. Looking forward to future videos.
That was insane. I may be driving to Oshkosh as well. The worst part is sharing the sky with a bunch of guys and gals you don’t know. It’s hard to know if you can count on people you have no knowledge of. Really great of you guys to share this flight. It was clearly very stressful for the copilot. Kevin was having way too much fun. Great insight into the experience of flying in to a major airshow. Thanks!
That was intense for sure! Don’t blame Jamie one bit for being that stressed out! That got out of hand pretty quick. Glad you’re all safe! Hope to meet you at OSH!
When you asked Jamie if she wanted to do it again, you got that "Look of Love"
Dont blame Jaime. That place is for small singles only. Crazy
Dead man walking lol
I would love to try that myself as a passenger but I totally get something like that
Absolutely amazing there are not more incidents at Fly In's. They are ripe for all sorts of aerial fun and games.
@@nomadmarine0331 the worst is the dead man turn from base to final. Lotta folks are dead from that.
Andy here from Durban South Africa. Love love love your channel. A few years ago I followed 1 of my 2 life goals to become a yacht skipper. Followed UA-cam channels and finally achieved it in 2017, and sailed the Adriatic and East Africa in 2018.
Now Dream 2....learn to fly.
Your channel is one of my top 3.
Been to Oshkosh already. Next step PPL.
That was WILD!!! So Brave Jaime!! been waiting on this cliff hanger!! Thank you so much Kev and Jaime. xx
OMG that poor girl! Nothing more stressful then a fly in
Boy I give you 2 a lot of credit on that fly in especially when the tower went dead for a short time that was a wild ride for sure. Kevin did a great job but I felt bad for Jamie but she is a trooper I’m proud of her for hanging in their !!! 😎
Well done both of you! You guys so remind me of my wife and I. Thank you for sharing your life with us, that was intense!
It was so Nice to meet yall there. (Thanks for the shirt) Jamie don't give up we need you. Ive flown in 4 times now to sun n fun and only once was it even close to that bad.. Thanks for sharing it was fun.
Wow! Thanks for sharing that experience. The further adventures of Sky King 2021 continue. Fly safe folks... 💯🛩🛩🛩😊
That was an amazing display of patience from you two. And you just taught me how to be a better husband with that smooth response at the end!
Wow that sounded like a horse race commentary, amazing you stayed on top of it all, especially regaining the awareness when the radio sprang back into life.
The FLY-IN video was incredible. I agree with others who expressed concern and stress listening to the video. It certainly is an excellent video for anyone who is really contemplating flying to a major FLY-IN. Know you skill set and skill level. Thanks Kevin and Jamie for an excellent video. I was saddened to see Jamie so distressed. Bless you both and your family.
Love the videos im a big fan been watching over a lil 2 yrs know keep up the good work and be safe
That tear on Jamie's cheek sealed the deal. Too much stress. I know those guys in the tower do a phenomenal job but, it's just a matter of time...

Mayor Stoner
hello how are you doing
Wow Kevin, stressful one! Well done you are a professional, kept your cool. Guess you did not quite feel that way.. Thanks for including us, even after the fact!
Was on the edge of my seat...great video! Y'all are obviously a really sweet couple. That look of relief at the end was awesome. "wanna take another lap around the pattern? No? Ok." lolol
"The good news is we don't have much gas for holding." lol
That made me 🤣🤣🤣
that is the craziest thing i have ever watched, having seen that has probably changed my mind about flying into one of those events....
This just reaffirms my belief that eventually these mega fly-in events is going to have a very bad accident. When the controller is yelling "everyone on downwind turn to base right now" and repeats it four times...and then you have pilots like that bozo who slid over to occupy your runway added to the mix...yeah, that's no good. They need a much better arrival system. Like an IRF autopilot required approach. Something.
So many working their butts off for a great fly in so go in a day or two earlier and leave later and thoroughly brief NOTAMS and local procedures, May sound obvious on the brief but reference EAA article on those not familiar with arrival procedures.
@@valuedhumanoid6574 Yeah, it is almost as bad as driving everyday to and from work on a busy freeway where there are "very bad accidents" frequently caused by stupid people driving too fast, following too closely and lane changing....At least the controllers and pilots (for the most part) have some training.
@@sgd5k292, you think the cattle auctioneer that cutoff the other controller to say, "Everybody on extended downwind turn base. *short pause* EVERYONE turn base!" had very much training?
He then cut in again to basically threaten pilots to keep flying based on his crazy instructions or they'd go into holding.
Most of those accidents you see on the highway aren't fatal. Mid-air collisions are universally fatal unless you have: you have an ejection seat, a parachute, or your plane has a parachute. Even with any (or all) of those things, a midair collisions still have abysmally high fatality rates. Not to mention the people on the ground.
I've seen Oshkosh arrival videos that looked very safe. The requirement to get inline far out and the well-defined route, altitudes, and holding patterns all work very well. They have multiple spotting stations and frequencies. Their controllers don't cut into each others transmissions unless it's an emergency. This was a failure on all levels.
@@ParadigmUnkn0wn Yea i get the stress but it could have been managed better. You shouldn't have four planes (including a twin in the back) like that so close together
Can't fault Jamie. Always WAY easier when your the one flying. Flying into OSH after the 1sr two times we had had enough of the crazy stuff and started flying in on Thursdays to avoid this stress. Have been there 15 times now and its fantastic each time. Love the 310, we had a 1955 and our latest a 1969 310P very similar to this 73 Q. Thanks for sharing!
GREAT piloting and teamwork. Literally on the edge of my seat the entire time
ATC sounds like he’s calling a horse race!
All the comm traffic was insane. Real eye opener for me. Glad all arrived safe, if not frazzled.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 it’s like he is teaching people to fly!
@@robsemmel7411 Cattle Auction came to mind for me! :-D
@@petematthews9346
hello how are you doing
Kentucky Derby lasts ~ 2 minutes. This was far worse and lasted 6+ minutes. Nothing is worth having to listen to that!
I was legit 2ft from my living room TV looking for traffic with y’all. Lol
Raffle off the Co-Pilot seat for fly ins. 😛
Great job, love your channel
Same here. It felt like the most important mission of the day for me
Great idea. Either raffle off or highest bidder with the proceeds going to a charity of your choice.
I was sweating it just watching. Good job of maintaining your composure under pressure.
I don't even know Jamie, but after watching this I want to give her a good hug and commend her for how she hung tough continuing to provide critical/crucial situational awareness on the approaching and landing!!! Great job by you both to navigate and communicate throughout the chaos of this approach and landing!!!
Must've been intense for someone as strong as Jaime to break down for a moment. Glad you guys made it to ground safely.
Jamie did a dang good job keeping her eyes looking around and giving call outs on traffic even after you could see the stress push her limits at 11:00... Well done to her!
Hi Jaime and Kevin - enjoy all your videos, keep up the great content. Jaime, I hope that you enjoyed SNF in spite of the stressful arrival. I am the fellow who gave you and your friends the bag of ice one evening at the aircraft camping area - hope all the beverages went down smooth! Come back and visit Maine sometime. Take care, Andy
Great Video..Good on Jamie for hanging in there...a bit of time to decompress & relax & who know's where to next...Bring it on..
That was was not fun watching the video, I couldn't even imagine how she felt..... good job keeping it together young lady .......

Kelly Wagner
of course i think she is really doing a very great job
seeing Jamie like that broke my heart
Definitely one of ur busy video's hated to see Jaime in a bad way there for minute much love Y'all
Yea......you Guys MADE IT....WEVE BEEN WAITITNG!!
Great job guys! That is what you call a "pucker factor of 10" or lovingly called surgery seat cushion removal"
Bravo Jaime I under the angst of getting into Sun & Fun during the event. Compromising is an understatement. I know you made though cause I saw you there.

hello how are you doing
Enjoy your Drive Jamie. Excellent choice. You are lookin' great.
Wow - that was Manic - well done and great you kept so calm. My Lady is just the same. Paul
Ok, That's it, We need some Live sessions. You guys are too Awesome.
That was exciting! I loved the "let's do another lap". Thanks for the video!
ATC would love a departing airplane with all those incoming planes.
I know y’all are a couple but I must say, I really admire y’all’s friendship.
6:37 first offer "don't touch my stuff"
Captain "yes sir" 😆 that made me lol
Love you Jaime!! Kevin did a great job flying by the seat of his pants. Imagine Kevin’s sister on that flight. She would have passed out for sure.
That’s gold
