- Welcome!
This week, Rachael and I take the kids in N32042 - the trusty Piper Warrior from Orlando Executive Airport to Albert Whitted for a spot of lunch. We then jump back in the plane and fly over to Clearwater Airpark so we could visit the beach!

Great video Gareth. Looked crowded at the ramp at Whitted. Excellent cake etiquette questions from the ladies in the back. A good pilot is always learning...about pastries. If the girls start yelling F U Gravity, we will know they will get their PPL.
"A good pilot is always learning...about pastries" ... 😂 I may need to steal that!
It was VERY busy. You can always tell when they're busy because the plane isn't in the same spot when you come back out lol.
I do not normally comment but seeing you and your family in these videos does warm my heart an I want to say thanks for sharing them with us. You have a beautiful happy looking family. Cheerio.
Appreciate it 😁
Great family fun!!! Good job my friend.
Much appreciated!
How funny, I'm the guy at Albert Whitted Airport who drove you and your wife and kids out to Charlie Ramp on the golf cart ,to take pictures of a different airplane so you didn't have to taxi your plane there and back to the FBO. Your video randomly showed up on my suggested viedos.. awesome video!!
Dude! Thanks so much. It was a big help. Glad you like the video!
I love these videos! Thank you soo much for including Isabella #2 !!
No problem!
Just a fun and great video, really nice job man
Thank you! 😁
Another great video. Loved the mixed parts of this video...keep them coming!
I’ll do my best! 😁
I did my first discovery flight at Clearwater Airpark back in 2015 while on a family vacation. I was 12. Now i’m 17 and a licensed pilot. I kinda forgot about that airport, but it’s neat to see it and remember where it all started.
Ah, that’s so cool! Glad I could ‘bring you back’ in essence.
Me too! Keep up the good videos.
So great!
Another great video. Okay..where’s this checklist at? Are we looking at a LewDix v Otto Supreme Court case coming up on trademark infringements? Lol. Thanks for sharing your passion with the public.
Yeah, sorry. I never did revisit them. I’ll post an update soon!
I live at the other side of the golf course. Most likely you flew over my house doing the overhead. Glad you like Clearwater!
Love the beach, been many times but that’s a gem of an Airpark. I’ll definitely be back.
Getting flight lessons at clearwater airpark now. Good video
How is the training coming along?
@@ZeroThreeDelta good I just started, so far ite really nice. The CFI's schedule is pretty tight though. I don't know if its like that everywhere else. All and all its going great.
Thanks for taking us along. Loved the girls reactions to the bumps. Well done Gareth! 👍😎
Thanks as always!
Traffic is ALWAYS bad at Clearwater beach:) I lived there before they had that stupid round a bout put in that make traffic 10x's worse. Yes, I lived 5 mins down the street on Drew Street in some apartments back in 99/00. Then I moved back to Jacksonville with my family. Loved living there but the job just wasn't cutting it to stay there and be able to attend college at the same time.
I did my first solo there. Great airport!
It is!
Bro you have the nicest landings. WAY BETTER than dix! Nice video. Looked fun. Oh one more thing, you don’t like flight following do you? 😂
😂 Actually, I got it for the flight back so I could get through the Bravo 😏
Excellent man, you nailed it. I want to see not just the flight but the logistics (Uber, restaurant, beach). Thank you
I sell real estate here in Clearwater. Born and raised. im also a flight sim nerd always flying over this area. Its fun to watch other aviation channels fly over here to. Beautiful area. It welcomes you!
Love seeing you local at my favorite spots! Cheers!
Thanks! 😁
“Rich golfing types” he says... as he flies over in his own (even if this one isn’t actually ‘03 Delta...) airplane!!
Great video, and I hope to have my own airplane in the near future. Keeping an eye out for a nice Arrow II or III!
I’ve been looking at Arrow’s. 😁
Looks like an awesome day of flying and ground-based activities.
Doing my flight training in Ocala can’t wait to join you in the Sky
Awesome!
I just took out the Cherokee 140 with a friend, and we were at max weight on take off with fuel to tabs, and man, that was a very interesting climb out, very slow and flat..
wait a sec.. i thought it was REMAIN CLEAR OF THE SPINNY THINGY, i AM COMMENCING ROTATIONAL AWARENESS.
I have to say you have really upped the production value of your videos! Great B roll and editing. Love the channel man. Keep up the good work! 👍
See, I think I can do better. I always take a better camera with me but by the time all the flying is done etc, I just end up using my phone. Thanks though, I really appreciate it!
I also did my first discovery flight out of CLW air park, archer 8245C was the bird I took. Fell in love with it, super windy area
Yeah, it was a bit of a workout on the landing.
Your intro sounds a lot like Jeremy Clarkson's Top Gear intro - like it!!!
Haha, that’s pretty much what I was going for 😂
I train out of CLW. I saw my flight instructor in the video lmao
Haha! Awesome.
Nice job!
Clearwater Airpark is a small air strip, but friendly folks .
Indeed. We were really pleased with the service. Great folks!
Heard you on the Radio Dude😄🛩 Nice landing at Whitted KSPG 👏🏼👏🏼
Ah, thanks!
After "we race some Ferraris in the name of Jesus" my weekend is complete...and great content as usual.
😂😂😂
I train out of airpark ❤️ gotta love it!
Yeah, I like it. I’ll definitely be back. I’ll probably let people know before I do in case anyone wants to say hi.
Awesome video!
Appreciate it! Did you watch the full version?
@@ZeroThreeDelta there’s a full version! No I haven’t…I’ll check it out for sure! I’m training at KSPG now
Sure is! You’ll have to scroll a little.
SPG is one of my favorite airports!
Nice vid! My daughter lives in St Pete and we plan on flying our 172D to the Air Park. Your vid was just what I was looking for. Did you stay under the Bravo airspace?
Technically....and for some reason we as pilots do not follow this.... 123.45 is the frequency for Aircraft flight testing and transoceanic communications. 122.75 is actually the correct frequency for Air to Air comms between private GA fixed wing aircraft.
Thought you were on 121.5 at 6:46 😂
Haha! Yeah, if you’re experiencing an emergency, imagine hearing that on 121.50 😂
@@ZeroThreeDelta people do it all the time 😂
Flying and Cutting cakes
It’s a niche market.
@@ZeroThreeDelta Flying and Cutting Cakes was my bands name in high school
Did you switch tanks on base? lol. I miss piper days...
Yeah, lol. Should have done it further out but that airspace gets complicated.
I liked that check list. Where did you get it. I’m looking to get the warrior hopefully next week.
151 or 161?
@@ZeroThreeDelta the 161 warrior
Best get in touch with Otto. Are you on Instagram?
@@ZeroThreeDelta yes under yamilrx
@@yamilcabrera2111 Sent Otto a message through IG. His profile is ‘OttoPilot’.
How was it with 4 people in the plane? I heard the piper28's although have four seats can only handle 3 people really or is the fact you had two kids helped?
It flew a lot better than I expected. W&B was within limits but with them being kids, it helped.
It’s all down to the PA28. Our Archer is a beast when it comes to lifting loads. The 161’s and 151’s are definitely limited to 3 adults or adults and 2 kids. That’s the same for a standard 172, though. We’ve taken 4 adults in a 172 before and wouldn’t want to try that again. Luckily it wasn’t too warm outside.
@@ZeroThreeDelta Does your Archer have more power or is it a different propeller (e.g. climb prop)?
@@ryans.5998 It had the a/c removed which helps a bit. Standard prop but there’s something about the engine that just works really well. Everyone who’s flown it, including CFI’s have all commented on how well it performs. Just lucky, I guess.
@@ZeroThreeDelta Cool! Crazy how there's so much variation among these G.A. planes (even within the same type).
@@ryans.5998 I know, it’s crazy. It’s like 042 and 15F are both 151’s yet I’ve decided not to fly 15F anymore because the performance is awful.
Back in the uk which beach would you fly to and why? Did the Dahli museum around 30 years ago is it still in the same location?
I’d imagine so. Basically near Whitted Pier.
UK flying ... not a clue. Probably somewhere in France 😂
@@ZeroThreeDelta Sorry, I had it my head you are from the Midlands in the UK, and where you would go in the UK, though to France seems like a plan.
@@mikeyswingsacrossthesky2244 Oh, I am from the Midlands. I just don’t know if I’d choose anywhere in the UK to fly 😂
In all seriousness, I used to love flying into Bournemouth as they have a nice little flying club there and it’s not far from the beach.
Clarkson
🤷🏻♂️😂
Get a Lewis or Dixon
What were the ramp fees at Whitted and Clearwater?
Albert Whitted varies from $0 to $10 depending on how busy they are and who’s on the desk.
I don’t think there are any at Clearwater but I did buy 10 gallons of fuel so if there were any fees, they were waived. They were incredibly hospitable.
@@ZeroThreeDelta Good to know, thanks! Do you think you could make a video about how you prepare for these kinds of trips? Flight training teaches you all you need to know to get the certificate, but you never really learn about the practical aspects of flying (e.g., F.B.O. procedures and having everything in place once you actually arrive).
Yeah, I could do something like that. Good suggestion!
@@ZeroThreeDelta Looking forward to it!
Anyone notice how he changed his voice as soon as he got on the radio...
Yep, and I don’t know why 😂
@@ZeroThreeDelta You're doing the "Im a Pilot" voice Lol! Great video by the way, takes me back to flying with my Dad in one of these...
