Blasted by an F35, Checked out my Check Pilot, and flew some weird stuff!

In this episode of Flight Chops, we go behind the scenes of the non-stop action that was OshKosh Airventure 2019. See the event from Steve’s POV, the packed events and presentation schedule, the weird aircraft he flew, and bonus – join Dave (Steve’s Warbird Check Out pilot buddy) as he flies a Cub for the first time ever!

Blue check verified. Especially trying to grow my IG. I’m worth following because I think of my fans as my friends and will give out kickass impossible-to-get experiences. Hence you being by the jets because you’re a good dude.

What makes my content unique is it’s live and in real time, so you as a viewer can ask performers questions or interact with me, them, and even suggest to me what you want to see. Here are some examples:

I’m a Private Pilot, doing my best to stay current and learn. I fly for fun and might just be the least cocky pilot on the internet! My self analysis videos can seem self deprecating at times, but I am trying to learn from the small mistakes to avoid making a big one; I’m happy to share and find it rewarding to help other pilots or aspiring aviators in any way that I can. How does the saying go? “Experience is a hard teacher because she gives the test first, the lesson afterwards”. And in aviation, not all tests are survivable.

My virtual “ride-along” flying videos are aimed and sharing my experiences and giving back to the aviation community which has been so helpful to me. I shoot multi-camera angles, get detailed real time instrument panel shots, and have radio intercom audio. I respect people’s time, so I put a fair bit of work into editing to keep the videos concise and engaging; I add animations and further graphics and voice overs where needed to add context and explanations.

My hope is to continue to grow and evolve the “Flight Chops” project with input and support from the aviation community!

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.
