I've been flying since I was 16 and at age 19 flew around the world by myself in the same 1981 A36 Beechcraft Bonanza I still fly, becoming the youngest person ever to solo circumnavigate by aircraft.

Now, I'm sharing all kinds of aviation adventures with YOU! Ride along as we explore the world from the air and get a close up look at some of aviation's best flight experiences and destinations.

Heads up call on the gear Matt! Glad someone up front was asking questions!

Another incredible video, getting me very excited for Oshkosh all over again! Tom Dafoe was such a incredible man and a inspiration to live up to! ❤

The guy wants to put gear down for a water landing. After take off... "I'll get the frequencies figured out". "Speed is good, we'll bring it down to, oh i dunno 80, 85 knots on final..." Stay safe y'all. lol.

Probably the most fun you can have in a pair of shorts.

This has been, and will always be, my dream plane. I've loved it since I first saw one as a young kid

[slgarrett]

Usually when I think C-208 I think, “We do weddings and funerals.” I love how this is big enough to really do many of the things you’d want to do with a boat but it’s a plane!

[gogofuntime_yt]

that callout on landing is hilarious. "GEAR IS DOWN FOR RUNWAY LANDING."

NIce pic of the Seaplane base, volunteered there in 22, will in 23 stop in and Thx

[rogerclarke]

How stable is that plane that you can jump off the end wing tip ! Awesome Video. Thanks for posting.

[uvupilot]

You've got me excited for OSH23. Can't wait!

[flyhighkev]

I flew right seat in that plane in Burlington VT July '23; landed on lake Champlain and jumped off the wing too.

[Riverboat]

That was my dream decades ago. Get rich enough to retire and go bumbing around in a Caravan on floats.

[zakksrage]

It’s all fun and games till some ass slips an falls on the aileron an you can’t take off anymore

[fishhisy]

My trick with keeping the "wacking" off the governor is bring the torque up to bring the prop to full rpm then the power lever can be briskly brought up to takeoff torque

[fatesandmyths]

What an adventure! Looks cool to take a dunk in the middle of the lake from an airplane. Flying it half naked afterwards looks good too.:-)

[rockytop]

On the adventure of a lifetime Matt. I would pay to go on one flight with you. keep up the journey dude.

[OshowAfrica]

Amazing. Looking forward to flying a seaplane

[imzanky]

Matt has some of the biggest critics watching his channel. Every video has someone pointing out something wrong 😂

[sventvicktoristvan]

Good on Ya Matt…………thanks for your time.

[RestorationsbyPhil]

Yep, if that plane was new I bet video of jumping off the wing would void the warranty! But how cool is that (sigh)? Everything about the Caravan 208 makes you feel warm and fuzzy. Tennessee
