- Опубліковано 30 вер 2024
- The beginning of our Sun n Fun adventure! In this video we depart Chicago Aurora Airport (ARR) for Chattanooga, Tennessee (CHA) on an IFR flight. The STEC 3100 autopilot is still running strong and giving us more time to chat and have fun. Sorry for Jaime's comm issues but we end up getting it resolved for the rest of the videos in the series.

"Holy crap! I can just talk like me now!" Gotta' love it! Great vid!
Ha ha...glad you enjoyed it! Sometimes its the simple things in life. :)
"lick it before you stick it" Haha! Glad to have Jamie back n the plane. Heater for comfort, auto pilot for hands free flying, time to join the club? Too much? I'm sorry. Lol.
New 310 Pilot Slogan Is "Lick it before you stick it" OUTSTANDING
david raiser ....and said with a wicked grin...!
I liked where that was going. He was not amused.
You guys are hilarious...
Ha ha...she's the funny one...I'm just trying to keep up. :)
Go dawg!
Thank you for sharing for taking the time to make a great video, I enjoy watching how you fly the plane with the wife. Thank you
Awesome...thank you for the compliment/feedback! Glad you're enjoying it. :)
Nice round one........easy flyin with the autopilot. When Jamie said you got to lick it before you stick it lol, I spit by drink out laughing. You got a winner there brother....look forward to seeing next one.
Watch what she says, my mind went from 6000ft to the gutter.... In words "crashed and burned"
Haha
Glad you enjoyed it Jim! She's a winner for sure and I'm a very lucky man! :)
JMFO, but EVERy video should include a Jammie tongue flub and raspberry.
Now we know the real reason for the auto-pilot install. So you can kiss the co-pilot!!! 😂. Welcome back Jaime!
Lets hope that doesn't escalate while George is flying... ;-)
Ha ha...if that's the case...money well spent. :)
@@310Pilot Yes sir, definitely a good investment in more ways than one!👍
She's Back!
We missed ya Jaime! Glad your com got fixed!
Us too! Those are the best kind of fixes...free. :)
What headset does Jamie use? My wife is interested in getting the same type. Great videos!
Hal, climb to 7,000. Yes Dave
Welcome back, Jaime - we missed you. "Always cool to see nicely-separated traffic..." It's nice when we can see it too in the video. Kevin, it's hard to tell but how are you liking your new autopilot? :)
LOL!!!!!
Ha ha... it's always nice when they actually show up on the camera. Maybe I'll get tired of discussing the new autopilots awesomeness one day but I'm still too excited about it. :)
310 Pilot Like a kid with a new toy he’s been wanting REALLY BAD.
"Challenge accepted."
That is the 100% correct response in that situation.
Ha ha...that's my lady. :)
3:52 A true Lady, I love it!
Why dont buy the garmin G1000, if it cant be installed on his plane let me know....
I don't think you can install G1000 aftermarket. I think it has to come new. They have the G600 TXi that is the aftermarket version. I'm really happy with my current avionics though...as soon as I finish my new Avidyne install. :)
The first "practical" autopilot was invented by George DeBeeson or maybe The term "George" as a reference to autopilots originated in the RAF in WWII. It is a reference to the aircraft's "owner" King George
Thank you Raymond....I knew someone would come through. :)
I just want to say thank you for all of your work into producing these videos. You two are great inspiration for me. I'm proud to say that you are one of the reasons I'm getting my license. If you have any tips or advice I would greatly appreciate it because I have zero support on this journey. Much love to you both from Indiana.
Great video! I LOVE the main camera view where I can see the panel and outside! Really gives me the feeling of flying with you. Thanks for the videos!
@18:42 did she say: "lick it before you stick it" with a grin...
like the song says "She's one of my kind"
Lol and she knew that was a good one by the look on her face
Can you here me talking? No but that banana is getting lots of needed attention, HA
Dammit that’s going to be stuck in my head all weekend
LMFAO!!!! It was done with class!
Gotta love an autopilot. I put one in my RV 7A couple years back. I have almost 1400 hours and had NO IDEA how hard I had been working when flying!!! Like you said.... now you can sit back and monitor everything!
24:00. You’re welcome.
What an awesome video, Kevin. It is good to have Jaime back in 771BC. With all due respect and honor to Jaime, she is one very beautiful lady. You are one lucky man. You two are perfect together. I love the fact that you two are just plain down-to-earth folks, and you are not ashamed to show it in the videos. It makes us feel as though we know you personally. Watching the flight and watching you two makes the videos so enjoyable. You have really gotten 771BC looking so good. That is one beautiful aircraft. The upgrades are fantastic, and I know you are enjoying them. Not sure when you guys went to Sun and Fun, but, if you are back home, we hope you had a really great and fantastic time. Looking forward to Part 2 and any others to follow. Thanks for letting us ride along. As always, Happy Flying, and Safe Landings.
Thank you Richard...glad you enjoyed it and thanks for your continued support! She is very beautiful, smart and funny and I've super lucky to have her! We are already back...this was last month and I'm just getting caught up on editing. :)
youre a lucky man
Very lucky indeed!
Y'all are so funny. I dig all the unspoken ques between each other.
Glad you're enjoying it Lars! :)
That was nice to see the new autopilot working good for you. I had a 'chatty Cathy' along for a flight and in the process of flying the plane and pointing out landmarks I reached over & unplugged her headset. 'Course I wasn't married to her. Thank you for bringing us along. Fly safe
Another happy Friday video. Thanks for sharing 😀
Glad you enjoyed it Mark! :)
Love you guys!
Awesome...thank you David!
Kevin, Well I had to look and here it is.The first "practical" autopilot was invented by George DeBeeson This seems to be the most likely reason for the informal name "George" for the autopilot system on aircraft.
I didn't know anybody went to Sun n Fun anymore, its gotten so crowded (apologies to Yogi Berra)! ;-)
As crowded as it was John, it's still much less crowded than OSH. :) I enjoy both events and they for sure have slightly different flavors to them. :)
My parents now live in-between Trion, GA and Lafayette GA. Not too far from Chattanooga TN.
You’d probably have better luck writing your clearance before you start rolling. Would avoid readback mistakes. Avoid early complacency guys...it creeps on you...
I knew what the clearance was...the issue was just Jaime reading my writing. If it was going to be an unknown one or a complex one I would have slowed things up a bit for sure. Well said on complacency. :)
Great video as always. Lots of fun riding along with you two.
Thank you Ken...glad you enjoyed it! :)
man I love you guys. You are so happy together. unfortunately I just went through a divorce....so Im still reeling. but so glad you guys are doing great. The video was awesome...hurry and post the next one....lol
Cool stuff guys.. Its clear to see how much better the flight experience is for you now that the new autopilot is in.. Would the mic being turned around the wrong way on Jamie's headset also explain the issue that the flight instructor had previously? or is there also some bad electrical connection somewhere. Have fun in 80 degrees.. (here in AussieLand its really hot when its only 45 degrees) :)
Glad you're enjoying the videos Robbie! There were 2 issues going on. Her mic being turned around was huge and there was a short in her headset jack as well. I just had that replaced during the annual inspection a couple weeks ago and now she's 100% good to go. :)
Jamie is so funny!
I am glad to see you got Jammie's comm fixed. Sometimes that happens with my wives Sena on the motorcycle. Another great flight. Look for Steveo1kinevo at sun and fun. Fly Safe!
We were so excited to figure that out as that had been plaguing us for a while. :) We kept our eyes open but never crossed paths there.
great flight guys Thanks for taking me along!
Glad you enjoyed it Tim! :)
Great video " Ive seen that smile before"
Ha ha...glad you enjoyed it Steven! :)
I’m also wit a smile on how you guys are now enjoying the autopilot! cheers from KRSW!
Loving it Carlos...for sure a game changer for us. :)
That was a great VID!! I just recently subscribed to your video's, do not know a draw thing about flying, or anything about you guys. All I know is it is entertaining!! Thanks so much for opening up your lives to the great world wide web! May you have many many safe flights!
God Speed!!
You guys have too much fun.
Damn- Babe always looks so fine.
Enjoy!! 🇺🇸
Glad you're enjoying the channel Charlie! ...and I agree. :)
Enjoy your videos very much. My Daughter is the Office Manager at the Erie Ottawa Regional Airport here in Port Clinton ,Ohio. What do you fine folks do for a living ?
Enjoyed this video. Looking forward to more adventures in Sun N Fun!
need to fly more... videos are great... addictive to watch....
Great video as always guys. My wife walked by to see what I was watching so intently (we’re in TN). She quickly announced “Awww, they are sooo CUUTE together !”. I know that makes your day, but I was instructed to tell you that lol! I like seeing Jamie wanting heat on, when it was likely 78* in the cockpit. Why ? because I go through that at home and on every trip we fly or drive. I’ve even put on the mask and told her the heat has dropped the oxygen content to below 5% ! 🇺🇸🛫
Glad you liked it Randy! That always makes our day...we love all the time we have together. Here's to another 40+ years hopefully. :) Ha ha...the ladies get cold a lot quicker than the guys usually. Gotta keep them comfy or they will dress like eskimos. :)
310 Pilot That’s why I love watching you two. Everyone thinks my wife and I are “dating” and like you and Jamie, we do most everything together and have a lot of fun. I’m a firefighter and met her when we evacuated her building, many years ago (bomb threat). So we figured it was meant to last. Ha! But @#$& !, she just roasts me, being so cold natured ! LOL! Safe skies Kevin, look forward to the next one !
Another great deadhead!!! Glad the co-pilot can now communicate. Folks from Alaska sure sound a lot like Southerners. Maybe it is the Georgia osmosis. "A lot about living..." -- Alan Jackson.
Ha ha...glad you enjoyed it! She does have a bit of southern that comes out sometimes. While I'd like to take credit, she did live in FL for a few years. :)
You are doing well...if you put another cam at rear seat.. It will be more fun... Think of it
🤣🤣🤣🤣 that was cute on 4:18 or 4:20 when she said she cant talk when she made those little sounds and tounge thing you should copy right it or trademark it or whatever it is and add it as a ringtone 😂😂😂😂😍😍 love you guys huge fan .
Jamie, Kevin's got it all wrong you're not only cute you're beautiful and I love what you did with your hair. I've been waiting to see what you would think about that autopilot looks to me like it is pretty sweet.
Alrighty Robert...time to one up you this time. :) She's super smart, incredibly fun/funny and drop dead gorgeous. :) I'm a lucky guy.
@@310Pilot 👍
Smart man!. You are right as rain with the beautiful call. Lucky as well. Love your videos and the 310. Have a great flight, cheers, Bill
Glad you're enjoying the videos Bill! I'm a very lucky man. :)
Another fun flight… Thanks! Great to see you flying together, and the banter is always fun to hear.
Your iPad writing will be a lot better if you do it sitting still. Most of us wouldn’t have done any better, trying to do it while rolling. :)
Excellent that your new autopilot is working so well. Have fun, you two!
Glad you enjoyed it Mike....glad to be back together in the friendly skies! My writing may improve in time but I doubt it...its pretty bad sitting at a desk as well. :)
I flew a Cessna 401 for a while and loved it ... but the panel was not that pretty ... I enjoy flying with you and the Mrs.
You can name it Otto for Otto the Pilot from Airplane lmao!
You two are just so marvellous together. I really enjoy your interactions. As for autopilots, well, d'uh. "Otto." 😂
Thank you Trane...glad you're enjoying it! I think we settled on Georgette...given it's a female voice. :)
Great video Kevin. Nice to have Jaime back in the co-pilot seat. She is so helpful with radio traffic and now that her comm is fixed it should be even better. Have a great trip and fly safe.
Glad you enjoyed it Dave! Super happy to have the comm issues resolved and be back to normal now. :)
Look ma! No hands! Nice autopilot upgrade. Still hand flying mostly in my 310.
Just LOVE the new Auto Pilot Kev..!!!! Thanks for sharing.
Me too Kimi...big time game changer! Glad you enjoyed it! :)
I see that the first practical autopilot was invented by George DeBeeson, so?
13:18 She has seen the Happy face before.
thanks for having her turn sideways for us😉
Great video Kevin! Looks like you're loving the autopilot. Looking forward to your next video. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you Todd...glad you enjoyed it! The autopilot is really a game changer. :)
A known issue...gulp.. great video, thank you for letting us tag along. It is wonderful to see a couple that loves each other.
Thank you Donald...glad you liked it! The known issue is all resolved. Her mic is the correct way and I just replaced the jack on her side. :)
What a Team!
Your both awesome....
Cheers,
Rik Spector
Thank you Rick....glad you think so! :)
I'm not a pilot so please pardon the dumb questions from me but will your new auto pilot be able to take off and land your plane too?
AP is great. Looks like y’all are enjoying it.😊
Take care
Loving it Jesse!! :)
wow new instruments make it like a new airplane good for you guys!!!
It really has transformed this old bird Bill...we are loving it!!
Tank you vidéo magnifique peux tu nous montrer les ailes au décollage et atterrissage merci
De rien ... content de l'avoir apprécié! Je vais essayer de monter une caméra sur un vol à venir pour montrer les ailes pendant le décollage. :)
Great stuff Kevin, thanks for sharing all the goodness in this video! ;-)
Glad you enjoyed it Jeff! :)
Mini airline, cruisin along at 180
Always a great day when you two post a vid. Thanks again for a great watch.
Awesome...thank you Michael! :)
Mama being a little feisty. Lol
What headset is Jamie wearing?
Does your wife have a sister?? Be blessed safe travels
Be sure to add the audio of the controller "open mike" when he was giving his handoff briefing. I think it was Peoria. This is N3210U.
Ha ha...I still haven't made it that far in the editing process Todd but I'll throw it in there. Hopefully I was recording at the time. :)
Looks like doctors hand writing.
You're one lucky ................. to have a companion like that. There's a story there I'm sure. We don't need to know that. But it's fun to see you guys go back and forth. Thanks
Ha ha...the story is, I'm a lucky man. :)
I had alot of fun watching this - you guys are a riot! Nice being on vacation of sorts, & being relaxed and happy - always brings out the best in everyone. 😎
Wish I could've got down to Sun & Fun! One of these days I will. Got alot on my plate this year ... but I might be buying a paramotor pretty soon! Can't wait to fly on my own - so excited!
On the subject of '05 hair (that seems like last week to my old brain, lol), back in my day I remember girlfriends fogging up the entire house with Aqua Net, and using a FAT round hair brush getting those bangs 6-10" tall, LOL - those were the good ol' days! I still love that look ... but nobody does that anymore. 🙁 And the jeans back then - ohhh baby! 😂 I try to get my wife to dress up like '85 every Halloween. I love that. 😁
Nice fix on that comm issue! Would have never guessed! Figured it was a bad connection at the jack - that used to always happen with headphones back in the day. Always nice when it's a "no-cost, no-parts-needed" fix. 👍👍
Thanks for the entertainment, Kevin & Jamie! Dreaming of 80° right now - it's been overcast and between 38°-60° for the past month! Close to 10" of rain in that time, too.
@1:40.....nice chicken scratch. I can almost make it out. Almost. And are all the tower comms that garbled and fast, and if so....why? It's even worse when flying non-continental US in my experience. And they mangle English.
@4:00....Jamie: "If I'm right, you're buying dinner. If I'm wrong, you're buying dinner." SMART woman. Yikes, HOT woman. My right seater NEVER looked like that. All I get is old guys with whiskers.
Nice relaxed flying with good banter going on. One thing that sticks out, for me, is the high speed talking with ATC. I would just have to say "say again slowly". That's a whole nuther way of flying though, compared with farm strip operations but, for sure, all types of flying take me to my happy place and make me smile. I'll look in on more of your adventures, thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it! I'm with you in that all types of flying put a smile on my face. I love hopping in a 172 and going in and out of my buddies farm strip or taking a flight in a helicopter and everything in between. It is tough when we do ATC in some of the busiest airspace in the country in that you have to get used to talking faster because you don't have enough time always on the freq to get everything done you need. I do catch myself getting fast and try to slow things down. :)
That was fun. Thanks for the episode.
You're welcome Karl...glad you enjoyed it! :)
Greetings from Macclesfield in green north west England (it rains a lot). It looks really dry at Aurora and vicinity - is that normal for this time of year?
Looking forward to joining you on your travels this season; stay safe :)
Greetings Paul! It has been raining here a lot lately. The rivers have flood warnings. Glad it doesn't rain as much as there though. :) We should have some fun videos coming up.
...everywhere just looks so brown as if you're at the end of a long hot summer! Guess it'll now be greening up fast 😎👍
@@paultrussy It was also around a month ago when the video was made. I'll bet it's greened up some in the last couple of weeks.
Super vid...enjoyed the conversation enroute. Fun stuff! I reside in Winter Haven, 6 miles from Lakeland Linder arpt. Hopefully, you visit Sun n Fun again. Would love to meet you guys there. Subscriber now. Thanks for everything!
I always thought this was George, from the movie airplane. He required a lot of ahem, maintenance. public.media.smithsonianmag.com/legacy_blog/Airplane-autopilot.jpg
Ha ha...classic movie. :)
Belly cam,,,so we can see traffic,,and the view..lol
It's on the to-do list for sure. :)
Which Cessna 310 do you have? Looks like a Q? Year built? Her details? Really like your instrument panel layout. Any place I can go to see what's where? My last nuisance question is this. Whenever I see you travelling all your luggage is stacked (polite word for tossed), in the back. You don't use the wing storage compartments? Don't you like them? Oh, yeah. One last thing. Does your plane have cup holders? Can't believe how many women I have heard expertly guilt trip the pilot with: "This plane needs cup holders."
Best place to live in the US is East TN in the mountains, as close to the NC border as possible. The reasons, Zero income tax, and you can shop in NC for the much lower sales tax. Plus a decent amount of snow in the winter, nice long springs, hot in the summer, yet still cool for sleeping every night.
I've been all over this great country and that part you speak of is exactly my favorite part of it...hope to make it back down there one of these days to live. :)
ROFLMAO...you gotta lick it before you stick it babe. I'm thinking S-TEC 3100= Mile high club!! You two are funny I'd rather watch your videos than HBO. keep up the great work.
You guys are a blast to fly with! I bout swallerd my mustache when jaime said lik it and stick it! lol. You guys are awsome! By the way, what do you both do for employment? I'm just curious! See ya next time!
I would love to know what software you are using to make the final videos. I'm looking to make in-flight videos for my own training etc. and am looking for recommendations for software. I have a hodgepodge of cameras -- Garmin VIRB, GoPro. Any tips on your methods would be appreciated -- love the pilot oriented content in your videos. Great stuff!
Well well, I’ve been watching you guys fly around for a while. I knew you were a bulldog fan and just heard you say you grew up in the same town where I grew up. Pretty cool dude. I’m from Armuchee as well. Keep up the cool vids. 👍
Make sure you keep up with your payments or Mike Kennedy will be sneaking in to your hanger. Can you disengage the AP without actually hitting the AP button? That extra camera showing the close up of your gauges would be perfect in another window, don't know how you feel about it but I would love it. Great show Kevin, be waiting for the next part.
Ha ha...I remember that show. No chance I'm going to let him get his hands on my bird. :) Yes, you can disengage my several methods: off switch on yoke, running the electric trim, off switch on the autopilot head, autopilot master switch and pulling the autopilot circuit breaker. I agree about the extra window view. I will look into adding that . :)
@@310Pilot Thank you for replying
@310 Pilot >> At 24:00 in this video:
*The money shot.*
😝😝😝😝
The start of this flight was so funny when Jamie couldn't talk. Jamie was very animated on this flight. How long have you two known each other?
I want to fly with these guys
Georgia, where is your ring? Are you married to that hottie co-pi or just her bro? lol Also, trade ur hat in for a big T (Tennessee) one.
We are married. My ring was in the process of getting re-sized. :) Go DAWGS!!
If my wife knew I had autopilot, we would be jumping in the back seat for a couple minutes.
Jamie. The first verbal instrument we had was a female voice as well. Due to that it was a Garmin, and sometimes riled us a bit with her sometimes snarkie tone, we named her Gertrude. Just seemed to fit.....
Ha ha...I like Gertrude if you don't like the voice. I like our voice...we settled on Georgette. :)
I don’t understand why anyone would give videos like this a thumbs down. Either way, keep up the great work and know that near everyone of us love the videos and enjoy them very much. Go Dawgs from a fellow Georgia Boy.
"Lick it before you stick it Babe". Jaime, you crack me up girl. I love you guys. Keep the vid's coming.
Have you tried to mount the ipad on the yoke ? seems like it would be easier write and would not need to hassle the window mount. Jerry Wagner tried it and went to the yoke.
Do you already have ADS-B ?
