Old school navigating in a vintage WWII aircraft!

This was challenging and rewarding!

See the Flight Chops main channel for MUCH more tail wheel flying as well as all sorts of flying content from aerobatics to IFR training!

There are over a dozen TailWheel Flying videos already published,
but these ones are key to understand why landing the Stearman on pavement is scary:

Flight Chops Disclaimer

I am a “weekend warrior” private pilot, I fly for fun with no intentions of going commercial. I have had my PPL for over 15 years, but still consider each flight a learning experience – I generally take detailed notes after each flight to remind myself what went well or what I could do to improve…. Having the GoPro cameras to record flights like this is invaluable. I find these self analysis videos very helpful in my constant quest to improve, and am happy to share.

Feedback is invited; however, please keep it positive.
