Mackinac Island Flight & Fun

This was a fun flight as Jaime and I fly the older kids up to Mackinac Island, Michigan for some fun at a unique place. The only way to the island is by plane or a ferry and planes are the only motorized vehicles allowed on the island. We took a horse buggy from the airport to town and rented bikes to tour around. Hope ya'll enjoy. :)

Born and raised in Flint, Mi and never been to Mackinac Island. Mom worked on the Island in the 50's in her teenage years. Nice flight .

Beautiful Island. Glad there are no vehicles. Keeps it quieter. Also glad to see the big kids. Thank you for sharing guys.

Used to spend a couple weeks in the summers in Mackinac Island when I was a kid. Thanks for this. It looks the same.

The wife and I flew up there a couple of years ago. Our intentions were to land on the island but strong cross winds were not favorable at all so we went into Pellston where Rwy 32 was a much better option that day. There was a shuttle bus to the ferry so we got to the island just fine. I'll show my wife your video showing how we were supposed get there. Thanks for posting!

So great to see this family time together. I always wondered if Jaime has children. Daughter is a mirror image. What a beauty.

I miss watching these 310 Pilot series, but stopped watching when the airplane and your hanger went up for sale. Jamie and you were fun to watch wherever you traveled...

Thanks for showing us your scenic tour of the island. So beautiful. I didn’t realize it was so beautiful. It is on my bucket list now. Thanks again for showing us around a bit.

Talk about the luckiest guy in the world ! A beautiful wife, two great kids and a fantastic airplane. All that and she handles the radios like a pro....bet she is a pilot in her own right.... Count your blessings...

Kevin, that was a great trip. Many years ago I flew into the island with a friend in his Bonanza. He lived in Michigan and recommended it very highly. Was a trip to remember. No motorized vehicles except for the excavating ones working on the island. The kids must realize how fortunate they are to have opportunities that most do not have.

What a lovely flight, and the island is so beautiful, I would not have seen it otherwise, thank you for taking this trip, just lovely.

I get to see more of the good ole U.S. of A. while riding along in the back sear. Thanks for that. Have fun!

Today I was bouncing around YouTube when I happened by one of your videos. What caught my eye was Jaime in the thumbnail for the video. It's not what your thinking I assure you! When I first saw Jaime I about fell out of my chair! Jaime, you are almost a carbon copy of my girlfriend Lindsey. Sadly, I lost my beloved Lindsey a little over one year ago to a sudden illness. It is amazing how much you two look and ever act alike. I know this will sound strange but watching a few of your videos today was almost like I got to see Lindsey again. I can't put into words enough how much I miss her. I don't think I will be watching anymore of your videos for obvious reasons but wanted to share with you how much you touched a stranger today and say thank you. Daniel
