Pilots Afraid of Heights? $2 Million Dollar Ladder to Face my Fear!

Do you have issues with tall up Ladders and Balconies? G

In this episode we’re #flying the museum fleet to an event that is in part about trying to save the local airport. While there, I meet Jason a #firefighter (and pilot / supporter of the channel), who along with Trayce offer to send me up to the top of the reach of their $2 Million ladder truck. Small catch: I’m afraid of ladders and balconies (mostly the falling off part) – apparently a lot of pilots share this #fear.

I am proud to be a member of the Canadian Aviation Museum (formerly CH2A). They are a not-for-profit organization that anybody can visit, and (almost) any pilot can join and fly the planes. Please consider sharing their link, visiting the museum in Windsor, and/or sending a small donation to help them keep our historic warbirds flying!

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.
