Two things: TPE331s would be truly righteous on an Aerostar. I have some training and operating manuals for all versions of the Aerostar. Is that something you'd be interested in?

Big Thank you from this side of the pond

It NEVER fails to amaze me how controllers know you just penetrated the clouds. The second you get into the white stuff and start bouncing around is EXACTLY when they call and give you a heading change or a full reroute.

Excellent video...👍🏻

your flaps are still down even after you mentioned that they were

'79 Inter cooled Machen Modified 601 P Aerostar FAST...EST 1 hr/flight=1hr./maintenance

“Font touch anything on the runway!” Proceeds to touch stuff on the runway. Lol.

My favorite plane❤

excellent work Eric! Living engineering history. Orders the book

What is the name and position with Aerostar of the gentleman speaking? an intro would help.

Hell Mr., I want to know, how about the price used Aerostar 600 or 700 on this time, please!

Worlds Fastest Piston Twin is Adam 500.

Very cool! I’ve always thought the Aerostar was a terrific looking airplane.

When I do that, someone, in the back, suddenly has to pee.

Great instructional value here. I had something similar happen to me in the T44 on one of my instrument events. I was doing a vor approach and was receiving vectors for the approach course. As I was twisting the app course into the hsi, my ip gave me a simulated emergency to handle. I stopped twisting and the cdi ended up at 20 radials short of the desired course. After handling the simulated, I was cleared for the approach and was waiting for the CDI to come in. My ip knew exactly what I was going to do. He noticed that I never got back to twisting the proper app course in and that I would wait for the cdi, which would have allowed me to go way passed the desired app course. He filled me in on what I was about to do wrong and I corrected it. I felt embarrassed, but it wasn’t the first or last time I’ll make a mistake and I learned from it. That’s why I like rnav approaches. Can’t twist wrong numbers in for those.😂

Just a beautiful aircraft I've watched most of your videos you do a great job of explaining the in,s and out,s of flying it😊

You look so happy doing this I can see the light in your eyes 🔥

Did you explain why there was an alarm sound going the whole time?

Hi Eric 👋 Love your Aerostar video's 👌 Brilliant work ! I would like an Aerostar 👍 Keep the videos coming 😂👍

I wish I could've flown with my dad more. He passed while I was trying to complete navy flight school. He may not have been able to pin my wings on my chest, but Im sure he would've been the proudest dad out there.

LOVE your video's ! I'm looking for a good Aerostar to buy.. Any suggestions? Thank you for your great work here ✨

We like blonde...

I also once forgot my pitot tube covered, realised during takeoff run engine checks before rotate, my airspeed wasn’t alive, so I stopped and taxied off the runway

Beautiful, but getting into the historic category. Hey, why not !

Nice plane and family, you have a gorgeous co-pilot. I never realized what a pain it is to load an Aerostar. At one point everyone gives your call sign as 5-1s, even you. One thing I do not like is that you do mental checklists, not paper or call out various elements such as your gear up but once and a while. You seem to have a lot of experience but are just a bit too casual for me.

You do very well btw? I am a GA critic and you do it all well Eric.

Whatever happened to this airplane? was the annual completed?

A QC for Boeing who’s still alive.

Awesome looking for an Aerostar next year or so, thanks

Loved my Aerostar 601P. In hindsight should have never sold it, just upgraded it with all the mods.

First twin I ever flown was a 701 love these planes

Beautiful airplane, will you be getting another plane?

Sync em up.

Looking for high quality clip on sunglasses. Where did you buy yours?

Love your videos and it’s sad to see her go but good luck with the sale.

Long time pilot with 1,000 hours Aerostar 135 experience. I agree with everything you said except for one thing. The advent of large format moving map displays with terrain height warning is arguably the greatest safety feature ever installed in an aircraft. CFIT accidents are relegated to a vanishingly small occurrence. If I bought this, I’m sorry, but all those nice steam gauge navs would hit the scrap heap of obsolescence. Used to sell Diamond Stars with Garmin 1000s as well as new Mooneys also with the 1000s. Will never willingly go back.

why that alarm sound?

I enjoyed your VLOGs. My Aerostars were labors of love. My airplanes took as good care of me as I took care of them. The finest twin I’ve ever owned and flown. The 600 great performer and fuel miser at 12,000’. The 601A out ran the earlier commanders, Beechcraft and Merlin I’s at a fraction of the fuel consumption at 25,000’. The 601B a tad slower than the 601A… But better landing performance with the wing extensions. Joined the airlines in the ‘80s. I knew it was an abuse to not fly the the plane that is better at home where it belongs… the sky. I enjoyed my time as a mentor pilot from the mid ‘70s through the late ‘80s. The closest airplane to the Aerostar is the Boeing 727… But that another story for another time.

My dad had one of the first Aerostars in the mid 70's. What a neat plane, looks like it was moving even sitting still. Have such great memory's with my dad in that plane.

Oh, my dream piston twin, if only I had the funds and places to fly to down here in AUS & NZL! It's a superb turbo piston rocket thanks to that small high performance wing, and lots of horses to pull it! Best wishes Eric. Cheers from NZL, David 😀

I hope you sell it soon captain, you can hear that if it hurts you to let it go, I thank you for all your videos and all your teachings because I applied them flying the Aerostar 700 and managed to improve a lot thanks

Sweet looking plane

So I want one of you aware pilots to tell me all about how White hazy sky's is our new normal now and not because of the ongoing Geoengineering operation in full effect ..

Any updates on the certification process? I would love to have an aerostar jet, the wing mounted engines look so cool like a miniature airliner and if the cost and performance is good I would definitely sell my Merlin IIIB and buy an aerostar jet.

AEROSTAR ENVY

Please don't learn formation by being lead, this is in so many ways the WRONG way to learn and promoting this on youtube makes my skin crawl. Yours truly, pilot with a FAA endorsed formation card.

Great fun. Thanks for letting us enjoy it too 😊

Love the video. Around 10:30 on short final you retracted some flaps for landing. I've never flown an Aerostar to know if that is common practice in type, or saying that it's a wrong procedure but was taught to not change configuration on short final like that. Mind explaining your thought process, would love to learn something.

I see the gross weight increase. What the useful load on this plane?

What???? Why?
