Flying from Cleveland to Florida and Back: Vacation Trip in my Cozy MKIV Airplane

Published 2023-12-03
We had plans to housesit and dogsit for friends for a week in Florida - and what better way to get to Florida than in my Cozy MKIV? At 160 kts, it took only four hours of flight time to fly from Cleveland - no TSA, no gate changes, no baggage carousel. Come along as we fly to Florida, and back home after a week-long vacation!

    —- No TSA, no lines, no crazy people trying to do all sorts of insane things, and no screaming. I’m jealous! 😊👍🛩️
  • @fredread9216
    Great trip, thanks. Wow 200mph with 22mpg. Pretty amazing. Very cool plane.
  • @robrackstraw
    Years ago I bought a heated vest from Amazon. Best thing ever. She will thank you.
  • @curbowman
    I enjoy so much these videos! I started by cooking dinner during take-off, eating, and cleaned the kitchen just in time to see the landing back home. Sweet!

    I fly my Cozy IV Florida to Connecticut in 5 hrs non-stop. 10 second walk to my airpark hangar behind my house. Land with 15 gallons left in the tanks burning about 35 gallons for the trip. Only way to travel :)
  • @jeffmorton9220
    "Recycling" the system power does wonders for clearing system errors. Never forget this.
  • Thanks for taking us along for the trip! What a dream to work towards! Congratulations and keep motivating us!
  • Really loving your channel! It is great to see the cross country flights!
  • @FileYourThumbs
    what an absolutely wild video to come across randomly on youtube... I live in medina and love seeing what planes fly out of 1G5 lol. Great video. Awesome plane.
  • @alexmikhael5061
    WOW that airport is much muuuuuch nicer than the first one you were STUCK AT !!!! :) AWESOME UPGRADE!!!!! :) unpausing !!
  • As always... love the channel, Cozy and great video My brother 🙌🏻💪🏻🏆🥇🛫🛩️🇺🇸☝🏻
  • It's nice to hear you express your humility that is why you are blessed, I for one would love to be in a position to fly that canard aircraft, in a past episode I saw you interact with your daughter who came out to help you, I wish I had that relationship with my adult daughter, long story like everybody else.

    Cleveland's winter overcast - I prefer to call this area's low overcast along the southern Great Lakes area as being near 'Lake Dreary' -much like Southern California airports call their seasonal coastal clouds 'June Gloom'...

    Menards has great airplane blankets. Very warm but not huge. I have a light gray interior and the blankets are sheep’s skin on one side red and black plaid on the other. My Arrow has the same heat system, front seats only.
  • @a914freak
    After watching this video I think my next plane will be a Cozy
  • @mattmccabe3723

    You get a comment for the CompuServe flashback. I was a part of the Flight Simulators Forum around the time of MS FlightSim 3.0, which is to say when a 4800bps dial-up over a long distance line was all we had.
