My CloudAhoy Story: Flight Chops started off as a simple way to publicly share my flying debriefs. And when I learned about CloudAhoy back when it was a free beta advertised as supporting US only customers, I still gave it a shot and was delighted to find out it worked – see link below to…
I had always worn a beat up old Dave Clark headset… not because I wanted to, but because I couldn’t afford to upgrade; Or at least I thought I couldn’t. Moving to a Bose A20® headset has been a game changer for me. The sound quality is truly unbelievable – not to mention the crazy…
My school… My Home… Where I found my mentor – Dennis. I came to Spectrum as an experienced, but rusty pilot. There I learned to fly a constant speed prop, got tail wheel endorsed and have done a pile of IFR training. And most importantly, they supported my publishing the videos I filmed in their…
Those of you who have followed me for a long time know that I have always worn Serengeti; and honestly, it was mainly because as a 15 year old, I inherited a pair from my best friend’s father after he died. Walter was like a second father to me, and a huge role model –…
Here’s How It Began During that multi-year period when I was not current, I discovered Jason Miller (CFII and one of the San Francisco Bay Area’s leading certified flight instructors) and his weekly training podcast – it was probably 2007 or 2008 so those were the early days, and he had one of the…

If there was ONE sponsor I fantasized about getting when I started a YouTube channel about flying… ForeFlight was IT! I got my license in the mid-90’s, eons before the era of tablets. Heck, the internet wasn’t even “a thing” yet. Flight planning on paper was never something I felt good about, but as…
Hi Steve,
I love all your videos, and this is my story. After 911, we should all know that date, no one could get a job, unless you would work for free, no one help us at the time, and we all had to go do something else to survive. And if you would get a job, they would pay nothing, with a 63000$, in depts., with a commercial and and a multi-IFR, and you can't get a job. Most companies where asking 4000-5000 hours.
From the 200 the graduated that year, 7 made it as airline pilots.
Now Airlines are looking for pilots, and I'm going back in.
So this is my story, and I'm not alone, and I think it's a story that should be told, a pilot 20 years older then most of the kids out there going back. You can't buy life experience.
Thank you,
from Bernard
