My wife has been working on a “pinch hitter” course with CFI Jason Miller of the Finer Points. She went from being terrified of flying to actually enjoying it. The experience has changed her excitement to fly on family trips. Hope you enjoy her journey in this video. I thought I'd hate...

Thanks for sharing this. It's a great feeling that sharing her vulnerability online in a video can connect with someone else. It is the entire reason why I got into making movies over 25 years ago so it's rewarding when the work we put in connects in a meaningful way. We are really trying to...

I'll relay this to her. Thank you! For sure we have talked about her flying legs and doing descents in the future. Hopefully flying tomorrow so we'll see... It's just dry erase on the windscreen. You have to wipe it off within 30 minutes or it may leave a mark... We talked about using heading...

if incapacitation were to happen in VMC I strongly disagree with you. My wife can recover from an unusual attitude, follow headings, climb or descend, descend at 85-90 knots reliably, and now land the plane on a runway in a manner that is at the least survivable and at best a decent landing...

I try to select the best spots for the ads but the controls on YT aren’t super accurate. Couldn’t make the videos without the ad revenue etc. I shoot terabytes for each project. In a perfect world I would move everything off youtube to a pay sub model of my own site or something like Patreon...

It was really hard not to say much back there, especially during the moments where she was expressing emotion. I wanted to join in the celebration of each accomplishment but really set out for this to be HER story entirely. I knew from the conception of the project that I wanted the whole...

Definitely hoping for that to happen! :)

My wife has been terrified to fly in small planes for a long time, and it's taken years for her to be able to be comfortable flying in our plane. Still in the back of her mind, she wonders "what if something happened to Eric?!" so we set out to prepare her in case I become incapacitated. We...

Or you can ride a scooter like I do in the video.... Thank you!

The afterglow sure does last for awhile!

I love flying to work, even if it just a ridiculously short hop. Here’s a fun quick story about it! Is FLYING 23 miles to WORK worth it??

thank you!

so so cynical. You make a lot of assumptions and you don't even know me. In my day job as a commercial cinematographer I have no interaction with the audience. I have no idea if people have seen or enjoy my work at all. Since audience connection is lacking from my (paid/career) work I am finding...

It is a one time AD, but considered an interim one to gather data. I believe they will issue some other guidance or AD based on the findings of this one, perhaps expand the inspection to more airframes with a different factored hours formula or narrow the criteria somehow to target the trending...

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed the explanations! haha ok. I'll bring my safety glasses next time. Yeah the test was so quick. I had to organize my mechanic, the tech, and another plane on the field to keep the tech's cost down a bit since he was traveling to us. Thanks!

It was definitely a relief! Thank you!

It's been a tense few months anticipating compliance with the Piper eddy current wing spar AD. Here is my story...

sending you a PM

Thanks for this. I am still super nervous but this is encouraging. What model year was it?

Looking for another plane or two in the L.A. area to organize the eddy current inspection for the Piper Wing Spar AD to save some money for all of us. If you know anyone, please message me here or email at flyingmonkeysocal@gmail.com. Thanks! Eric
