On the 2nd day of our Carribean adventure, @Stefan Drury and after a wonderful stay in Grand Exuma in the Bahamas, we had to fly to Provo of the Turks & Caicos Islands. Then I decided to give @Stefan Drury the airplane to fly…

I am NOT a Certified Flight Instructor and my videos are not for instruction purposes. The video is intended for my own personal experiences and for entertainment purposes only. Do not use my video content as information about how to fly an airplane. To properly learn how to fly you MUST visit your local flight school and work with an experienced Certified Flight Instructor.
FAQs
– What airplane is this? This is a Cirrus SR22T (Turbo) Generation 6 (G6) built in December 2018.
– Why do you fly so much? I fly for business primarily supporting my clients and staff at meetings and conferences and vendor partner relationship building for my Government Payments platform company called Autoagent
– What do you use to record your videos? I use 3 GoPro cameras (models 5, 6, 7), I use ND4, 8, 16 filters on the cameras, I use a Sony FRD-AX53 4K camera with mechanically stabilized optical zoom, my iPhone 13 PRO MAX for many of the video shots you see when the 4K camera is too bulky to carry. I record audio with an old iPhone using voice notes and I use a cockpit audio recording cable I bought on Sporty’s.
– What software do you use to edit your videos? I use Final Cut Pro on a MacBook and iMac
– Where do you find good royalty free video clips? I use artgrid.io
– Do you do all the editing? Yes, all this work other than some filler video clips and music is my work 100%
– What oxygen system do you use? I use Precise Flight cannulas and their X3 oxygen conserver regulators with the boom cannula. Works good but the boom could use some better engineering.
– Do you promote products? Never! I keep my videos sponsor free and continue have unlimited and unrestricted fun without a “boss” or watching my words.
– You fly so good don’t you make mistakes? I make tons of errors which I will never show you lol
– Where are you from originally? I was born and raised in beautiful Greece and came to the US as a College student. Loved the Country decided to stay and build my career here. Best decision ever.
– How do you afford to own an airplane? Airplane ownership can be expensive but when done right, in the US, it becomes a wonderful tax deduction that can allow you to fly for business almost for free. Get trained well, get a bank loan and buy yourself an airplane for your business.

Roger – Roger – ha!!!
We want to go down to Provo one day!
Hey-Saturday morning is my time slot to release videos-ha!!!
Magic, just pure magic. Places like that are tailor made for planes like the Icon A5. Use the runways or just make your own on the water. Land, open the doors, catch a fish for dinner, the possibilities are endless
It never ceases to amaze me how anyone can understand the conversations with flight controllers….they are so fast and clipped. Obviously it takes a practiced ear and I obviously don’t have one. Great video as usual Niko.
Awesome video I like the scenery.
Your videos are so well edited professional grade. Your content is top notch.
Thx for the ride….
Thanks for another great video!
Greetings, and another thank you for an incredible ride-along. Btw, you MUST trust your friend very much! We never thought anyone but you would be in the captains seat! Lol …. Stay safe and well, and as always, good business to you. Thnx again for everything.
👍☑ great as always, actually double great with Stef aboard. Tks
When are you coming here (Australia) Niko? Stef needs you show you around our neck of the woods.
G,day Nicko wings from Sydney Australia. Fantastic uplifting episode, you always make me smile.
🔦🌏🛩️🇭🇲
Another fantastic video ..Thanks. I heard that the fees at Provo are rather high..yes/no. I need to plan this trip!
Hey niko I just took my first flight in a fixed wing aircraft with young eagles and now I’m convinced that fixed wings are better then airliners. Do you think I should go and get my actual license?
La Famille Express Shipwreck. Hurricane Frances in 2004 shipwrecked it. Even had its anchor dropped and it still pulled them into shallow waters 12miles. Apparently the anchor is till near there.
Awesome video as per Niko, I have watched Stef's adventures with you, and I did wonder how you guy's decided on who's channel it should go on, maybe you tossed a coin??….NOW all is revealed!..more to come I presume? – Cheers
Hey look, Drake's plane at the first airport you landed at. The sky blue 767
ErRoger. Roger. Roger.
Hi Niko from Adelaide South Australia. I just love all your videos and as an Aussie it is nice to hear another Aussie accent !
Hello neighbor, another great video! Incredible views, thank you for sharing.
Australia more rural class D airports are very procedural like that due to lack of radar. So Stef is used to it. Very focused on reports everywhere
RNP approach? You have equipment for that?
Thanks for letting me fly your plane mate, fun times. Rrrrrroger.
Awesome video! You guys have good chemistry. Roger that!
That was another great video "great Job" I am always loving the navigating and talking to ATC . The expression on your face while chugging that cold beer down was the high light of the day 🙂
🤙👍
Super cool trip ! Water scare me a bit but….amazing views !!
of course drakes plane is there
We're quite sure the shipwreck was an engine or steering rudder problem under high seas conditions.
Too much fun…
Cool to watch! Met my wife in Provo in 1989 – very different at that time. Was last there 2 years ago. Beautiful beaches! Thanks for sharing!
