Description
Flying into New York's busy airspace in a Cirrus SR22.
Join me on a super cross-country flight from Boca Raton, Florida, to the New York City area with a fuel stop in Florence, South Carolina. The weather makes for an easy flight, but as we approach New York, the airspace becomes one of the busiest and most demanding in the world.
Experience real-world IFR flying, nonstop ATC communications, complex arrivals, and the challenge of operating a single-engine aircraft in congested airspace. If you enjoy general aviation, Cirrus SR22 flights, cross-country flying, and cockpit videos, subscribe for more aviation adventures.

- 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 2 GoPro 10 cameras in 4K mode, I use ND8, ND16 filters on the cameras to filter out the prop and create a cinematic effect, I use a Sony FRD-AX53 4K camera with mechanically stabilized optical zoom, my iPhone 17 PRO MAX for many of the video shots you see when the 4K camera is too bulky to carry. I record audio with a Sony voice recorder and I use a cockpit audio recording cable I bought on Sporty's.

- 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. Then depreciate the entire aircraft cost which will reduce your income by the value of the depreciation which will save you on taxes. Put the aircraft on an LLC and save on sales tax. Talk to an aviation tax consultant and they will guide you.
