A Pilot License will change you life

[FlyingMonkey]

I posted this in some FB groups but thought y'all would enjoy as well. It sums up how I feel about this awesome hobby (and for some profession) that we all enjoy. It took me a long time to get my Pilot Certificate but it was well worth it! I put together a giveaway that includes some discovery flights, ground school app subscriptions, and Foreflight subscriptions so I hope it helps out some aspiring aviators.

Cool vid. Hope it inspires someone.

That must have been quite a sacrifice jumping from the Six back into a C172N.

Yup. I'm certainly poorer

And wiser and more fulfilled.

I hadn’t flown a 172 in 7 years and it was actually really fun. Kind of made me miss that more nimble toy airplane feel. Haha. I loved it.

Nice video!

Did you lose any luggage when the baggage door opened or didn’t realize it until after editing the videos?

My dad learned in a Cherokee 160. I bought a 180 last year. Now he flies my 180 more frequently than his Cherokee Six...at least for the "hey, let's go fly for a few" trips. It's got a STOL kit and is a fun little bugger. Was thinking of offloading it since I could sell for almost double what I paid...but I don't think he'd let me.

Where did you get that swell license? I only have a crummy certificate. And look at the size of it! How do you fit that in your wallet?

 

[SCCutler]

Simply outstanding, Eric. Your skill and passion show in equal measure.

That, there, will surely create some new pilots, and we need 'em, too!

Surprisingly no! I made a video about that incident. It was pretty nerve-wracking. Nothing fell out- I was only 5 miles from home base and it required only one turn to get lined up with the runway.

Your do a great job with you videos. I’m really enjoy them.

Thanks.

I got the license at film school where we learn sometimes it's more important to communicate the intended message in the most comprehensible way than be completely precise. And I got the size of it at the same place, where we learn a wide lens makes objects close to the camera appear bigger than ones farther away. That's an actual photograph of me holding the "license" by the way...just against a different background than where it was taken

Nice video by the way, Eric.
