Flight Chops That's a good point Mark. I can tell you one thing is that all the focus is on lead - so I sure felt like nothing else was happening being keeping track of that plane :P

Thomas Couper Hmm flying formation in the T6 and meeting Bob Hoover and who knows what else. Looks like Steve had a good time. Awesome video even though it was a cyclops cam :-) Glad you had a good time.

Flight Chops Thanks Thomas! Yes, #OSH15 was all around awesome for me :)

Kurt Pennuto Steve, thanks for the experience! How awesome was it to take the controls of the T6! Your pilot was so cool about letting you be more than a passenger. Any chance you coming down to the AOPA fly in in Minnesota? Would love to visit. Thanks again.

Flight Chops Thanks Kurt! I need to see about making it to at least one of those AOPA fly ins! That one might just be the closest for me - I will look into it!

John Comley Great video, some great lessons! I love mountain flying . . . there is so much to learn and know. Thank you.

Flight Chops This really solidified for me how important it is to get additional training for mountain flying! I knew it would be a change, but it felt A LOT different than i thought it would.

Greg Hopp I see this problem all over the place and really appreciate that you have confronted the issue head on and hopefully brought another pilot into the fold. Initially, I wasn't sure where you were going with this video, but it ended up being one of my favorites yet because the message is so vital to our collective success as pilots. Another great one; thanks Steve.

Kurt Pennuto Stellar flight! And great editing!! I really like the "classic" era touch in the intro, who's idea was the "soup can" audio? Perfect! And yes, "Flyboy Mutton Chops" is your new moniker! Thank you James!

Flight Chops Thanks! And yes, James get's full credit for the "old timey" look and feel of the intro. He directed the iCloth spot that we shot with that same inspiration.

David W Mobley Great video.. I recently did tail wheel training and I was sweating as I was couch flying with you.. Kudos for gutting it out and getting back on that horse and getting it right ..Keep up the great videos

Flight Chops Thanks David! This one was tough to share - I had a long internal debate about it, but after talking to Dennis we agreed there was value in putting this one "out there".

Jamie Gamble Really enjoy your tailwheel work. I've got the tailwheel endorsement in a Citabria, but have never solo'd. Something truly special about having a grass circuit to yourself like that, to hone your skills. Definitely inspired me to get more tw time this season. Thanks!!

Flight Chops Oh, and all the $5+ Patrons should have their flight suit patches with in a couple weeks of joining - if you didn't get one, please let me know - Technically, anything that is not paper, is supposed to be declared by filling out forms to indicate that they are gifts - However I sneak them through as regular mail because the time / energy spent on that process every time I send one is prohibitive. Most get through as standard mail, but I fear that some times US customs snags them.

David Arbuthnot Lately a lot..... working on my night rating in the 172s. I'm still a new, low time PPL but hope to start logging 50 or so hours each year. I eventually want to build a Zenith CH750 Cruzer when I retire in 5 or 6 years.

Flight Chops Thanks Manrique! It is VERY rewarding to hear that I'm part of helping you keep your flying spirit alive during the "life got in the way" part of your aviation career. I was right there where you are in 2009. I'd met my wife, bought the house, got married, had a baby, and suddenly realized I hadn't been flying since 2005! I felt a part of myself atrophying, and my wife was supportive as I slowly got re currency training and was flying again by 2010. It was in large part thanks to free resources online that helped keep my head in the game when I couldn't actually fly... I am now VERY happy to give back and offer those sorts of resources to the community.

Flight Chops Oh, and I forgot to add my standard note: Videos go up on YouTube every 2nd Friday, so this one has been live for over a week; however, I'm posting here on Patreon the 2nd and 16th of each month to keep the paid posts to a maximum of two... But as the lag is now over a week, I may skip a Patreon post or upload a 3rd one this month to "reset the lag" - please be sure to edit your monthly max so there are no surprises.
