Landing in Salinas, CA | Cessna 172 | ATC Audio

Hi Josh, your videos are really outstanding. I love watching them. Just one question: When you are couting 1-1000, 2-1000, 3-1000. Why do you do this? Just a "silly" question from a german glider pilot.

Greetings from Cologne, Germany

Salinas my town

Long cross-countries are pretty awesome, I think. I flew from central Florida to San Francisco during my hour building. But we didn't do it in one day. We took 5 days, I think, including a day off after spending almost 10 hours in the air the day before, dodging thunderstorms on the backside of a cold front. Was a pretty awesome experience non the less. Unfortunately our plane got damaged on the ground in KSFO, so we had to take a commercial flight back east...

Love the Big Bear sweatshirt

Can I get a script ?

What was the fuel cost for such a flight?

Great advice regarding IMC...there is an old adage in aviation that suggests superior judgment prevents us from having to use superior skill.

hi there. Very good high level flying and sure you did learn a lot. thanks for sharing.

your friend is so CUTE

Dumb question --> Why do you count when lowering your flaps? I know they are electric and take some time, but I don't see the purpose of counting. I like my Piper Arrow manual flaps. I also need a TBM 850 like Stevio......

How long did it take too fly from Texas to Cali?

talks for the first 3 minutes haha you're a boss Josh!

talks for the first 3 minutes haha you're a boss Josh!

Oh my gosh the amount of money it must coast to fly that far!

My home airport! Great video man

OUCH! You said "with you". Rookie

I would chose IFR over VFR anyday

Hey my hometown airport.

Can you make video on filling out flight plan

Hi there ! have you experienced some hypoxia's symptoms above 10k ft ?

I can't believe that controller cleared like 3 planes to land on the same runway in sequence all at once like that. Around here (western Canada) I never get cleared to land until the aircraft ahead has cleared the runway. Sometimes the clearance comes 100ft off the ground at my home airport as it can take a Cessna awhile to clear the end of the 5000' runway if they decided to take the whole runway.

Awesome! I fly out of salinas twice a week:)

I live in Salinas :))

wich plan of forelight do you use?

Nice video
but i have a question
how did you guys breathe up there at 12000 feet, since the 172 does not have a pressurized cabin.

my grandson and I have been watching Josh for a couple years. keep up the good work Josh

So awesome as always Josh!! Thanks and I am always learning...

I live in salinas!

I treyd geting flight lesins wonse but I got baned becaus I am moslim :-(

Love the F18 video mode to eat up some terrain when you're outside

Did my solo cross country from Long Beach while working on my private license.

Nice videos, but I am easily confused. You mentioned being VFR Over The Top after cnx'ing IFR... OK, but why the IFR cruising altitudes? Did ATC want you there? Whether you are VFR On Top or VFR Over The Top, you should be at VFR altitudes, unless something has changed in the last couple years that I missed. As far as the VFR vs IFR argument goes, choose whichever one is easiest. Sometimes IFR is the easier way to go.

The beutiful Salinas valley i miss all the agriculture land nice views.

Please start filming out through the cockpit, we want to see what you are seeing, not watching two guys for the duration of the video :/

Hi Josh, old post but just found it. Not sure if you'll see my post and I'm sure your very busy. I live in the SF Bay Area but have grandkids in Georgetown KGTU. Was wondering what a comfortable time would be for the trip? Say a C172

Nice Video, I live in Salinas before. I remember we are on that airport when we watch the Blue Angels

How do you actually record your voice? I want to do it too... If anyone knows, i would appreciate that

Good video! I got pvt inst com licence in norcal. I love that airport. It good airport to practice dme arc approach. And i also love watsonville, half moon bay airport.

i agree with steveo1kinevo. i flew many IMC hours in the east coast corridor in a 172. the more you do the better you get. the rules are the same but just require a precision flying -- on instruments which is a huge satisfaction. i dunno if i'd do it in mountain flying though. i love IMC!

I wouldn't call being cautious about climbing out of big bear as all h*** breaking loose I think that's a bit of an overstatement

Would have liked to hear someone going through a checklist sometime!!!!!!

Loving this series!

Where is Salinas?

You flew a thousand miles to Salinas, California?

So I've been viewing some of your older posts. This, and others in your West coast trip. Big Bear weather issues, starter issues, etc. Had to laugh about hand propping. First plane I bought didn't have a starter. Hand prop was the only answer to flying. Check it out... Lark 95 built by Helton Aircraft out of Mess AZ. 1508H. Recently rebuilt. What a fun airplane!

Went to 92 airshow in Salinas two F-14's Tomcat fighters put on a show like I never seen the engines were so loud could hear car alarms going off for miles around the airport. They did a high speed pass at 500 knots wings folded back I wonder if they shattered any windows on homes the direction they came from right over lot of houses.

dude that town has a bunch of microwavegun people gangs running it and to this day half the people are still kidnaping and killing kids using spray poison knock out spray and the police are them in 3 counties running a pentagon gang from every country. and it makes 4 billion dollars worth of agriculture monies and maybe one 4th to half all regestered in pentagon cia clandestin banking. and my family is dead from these people and they steal houses constantly like sell it 3 times to different people and kill them for monies. last time I was there they were running every store and robbing the place. right from the military airports! If I was a young guy would get mailing list of all this tuff and use software-r- sort through it and pass it on to town people for lawsuits and future investigation of peoples. and they are still doing stuff to kids at same school the people come from some pentagon mental patient and criminal prison and salinas prison is real bad they smuggle people in and out of it all the time! I dont think you can save that town at all like several of state towns.
