Hats off. For pushing yourself to try new things, for admitting your mistakes and sharing them with the rest of us!
-
Superb support from John … No verbosity… Just perfect
-
Flying is a constant learning experience. Anyone who says it’s not is naive at best, stupid at worst. Nice video.
-
I think I speak for the Flying Reporter community when I say, that is why we are fans of you Jon. You're never afraid to say, "I screwed up!" Life is always about learning and flying is no different. I, as I am sure like many others, look forward to your next adventure. I'm sure Barra will still be there for another day.
-
Just shows how having a second pilot with you on something new works so well to keep things safe. Very interesting video Jon thank you 😊
-
Jon, you are a most humble man. Barra is still there for another day. You live to fight another day. Best decision - taking a friend. Perhaps you could have handed over the controls while you recovered your situational awareness, using him as a semi-intelligent autopilot. Nevertheless, a great effort and as my Ironman Triathlon daughter was once told “Do it once and boast about it for the rest of your life”. Get the beers in.

I commend you for also uploading your cockups when things do go wrong, many youtubers would just pretend this didn't happen and delete it. Facing it shows commitment to learning and teaching others, so thank you for that, it's greatly appreciated. 👍 Really really good landing however! Be proud of that for your first go.

Flying to an unfamiliar airport is stressful enough as it is, great to have a co-pilot in that extra tricky situation.
-
Plenty of lessons and thank you for sharing! We are all human pilots and The day we stop learning on every flight then it is time to hang up the keys. Good call having a P2…esp to wash the plane😅
-
Lots of good learning points here! Well done for sharing. If I do a better job when I go, it’ll be because of your experience. Very much appreciated.
-
Spectacular video, thanks !!! I'm not a private pilot, but sometimes, when I drive the car with someone else on board, I get distracted more easily, and I make small mistakes that I normally don't make when I drive alone. I think it's a normal psychological mechanism, and therefore probably if you had been alone, perhaps you would have been more careful. Ciao from Italy ...

Love the honesty and integrity of your videos Jon. We are human and your braver than most, thank you for sharing.
-
Great video you guys 😁really interesting and exciting adventure. Good team work when needed, its good to test yourself with 2 pilots sharing the load!!
-
Sorry John, I started laughing when I saw your "special task"
-
Having landed at Barra as well I completely understand the challenges - an interesting and very worthwhile experience! Great video
-
Great video and thanks for sharing your experience. Barra looks like a great place to have in one's logbook. Well done!
-
Thank you for your honesty in sharing this.
-
It's great to spread your wings, as you do. Flying is all about experiences like this, although not many who've tried this. A good balance of mostly good decisions with a humble attitude. A perfect pilot attitude. Well done and see you on the next one.
-
Well done and thanks for displaying humility.
-
Brilliant video. There but for the grace... Your humility is for us all to learn from.
