Huge thanks to my friends Chris Palmer and Deon Mitton for shooting this one with me,
as it was pushed back from the original scheduled date, and my production team had flown home with out me that morning… (I burned my airline ticket to do this 🙂

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.
