Commercial pilots out there! I am looking for your feedback. Am I too old to make the switch to flying commercially? Are you happy you made the switch? If you could go back in time, would you do anything different? I have decided to pursue my commercial pilot license. I was originally thinking about getting my CPL as a personal achievement, but I'm thinking about a career change. Your thoughts?

Piper Tomahawk Update - Close to Taking Flight!
Recently had a flight in a Cessna, rolling down the runway on takeoff shit went tits up vibrating so bad I was waiting for the wings to fall off,just a little back pressure was what it took, but for the love of god please if you’re giving intro instruction for a check out let them know. As a pilot it’s an easy fix, as a new flyer it’s fucking terrifying when it pops its head up at 40kts with no prior knowledge.
I agree. I found my shimmy incredibly annoying. I make sure all my cars are laser straight with alignment and zero vibrations so this issue was top priority until I got it corrected. What bothered me is there were licensed aircraft mechanics who couldn't solve it before I bought it.....I'm sure they charged the previous owner plenty for nothing.
Great video, also, is that an AMC Eagle SX4 I spy in your garage? Very cool!
Thank you! You are very close on that guess. It's a 1980 AMC AMX (based on the Spirit platform). RWD, 258 inline 6, 4 spd manual. My wife is the second owner - her mother was the original owner.
Great job. I tried to do the same. Some of my pieces I couldn't save. Do you have plans on touching up the instrument panel?
I might touch up the panel eventually. I would love dual G5s and eliminate my vacuum pump. One can dream further than what the bank account allows sometimes! Haha
Nice job Perry. Will be doing the same while mine sits engineless. Will be good practice before the new paint job.
That would be a great time to do it. I struggle with the balance of tinkering vs flying (rather be flying) but if you are in a position where you are forced to tinker then you won't have as much of the itch! Haha
Awesome! I’m sure it looks 100x more shiny and lustrous in person! 🙏🏼💯💪🏼
It turned out really nice! There are some scratches that are too deep to cut out (I don't want my paint to get too thin) but it is very nice compared to many of the other similar aged aircraft out there!
I am always trying to get better and improve my skills, so if there are any paint correction pros watching this and you have any tips to add, or tips on what I can do better please let me know in the comments. Thank you!
Awesome! 🙏🏼💯✈️❤️
Thank you, it was such a great time and created memories that will last forever!
Why are not all pilots licensed to fly IMC? When we get our drivers license we’re expected to drive in fog, snow, rain, etc. But for pilots we offer an license that’s only applicable for VFR?
Yeah, but on the same hand when we first get our drivers license we still need to upgrade if we want to drive semi-trucks, busses, ambulances, taxis, F1 cars, motorcycles etc. The initial PPL still includes some instrument training. In my opinion a PPL is just a license to keep improving and learning and a person needs to be diligent in ensuring they don't get into situations that are ahead of themselves.
I saw the sentimental journey just the other day during the tour! Was able to go in it! I didn't pay for the flight but oh my gosh is she a beaut!!!!
It really is a beautiful aircraft! A flying museum piece and work of art
Nice work Perry.
Thank you!
I did not take 6:37 for us to say yes - yes you are too old. Haha (Sarcastic, love ya buddy)
Hahaha thanks man! Love ya!
I thought I’d already subscribed! Regardless, now I am for sure!
Awesome!
Your paint scheme is my favorite! (You already know that)! 😀
Never to old as long as you have your health, follow your heart. Shit, I should take that advice!
Get rid of the loud background music!! Very distracting!
It's one of my early videos. I didn't know about video rendering settings and normalizing audio. I'm not re-doing it at this point. Cheers
i am 52. i want to get my IFR and my commercial. i am at 168PIC, 237TT. but i know that i can never fly professionally, but if i had my commercial certificate, i can do pay for flights. and get some income. i wouldnt mind flying a charter gig.. or survey.. I am in CAP, and working towards my MP. i would love to fly that PA38-112.. i have 30 hours in one. and miss it.
Perry go for it
NO!
I say go for it!!! I got my ATP at 42 and have been flying professionally since. I started out in a King Air and have flown Lear Jets, Hawkers and ERJ’s since. I’m now 54 years old and love where I’m at in my flying career. Good luck!!!
Stories like this make me happy I want to make the move. You have flown a lot of cool stuff in that time frame! Did you find being a more mature applicant helped you with being selected for those roles?
Not too many chiming in here yet but I would love to see how the conversation evolves. I’m 4 years behind your age but similar situation. Lots of time spent in and around the aviation industry but never as the pilot lol. The thing I’m continually weighing is the cost to enter the industry and the lifestyle. I’m not convinced my family could deal with with the type of shift work you’re talking about and like any mid journey change of profession it comes with risks that it feels like we just have to accept. Hope to see someone chime in with experience flying for a living starting in the 40s as well.
If I go the Medevac route the shift work won't be much different for me but in my case I'll be shedding a bunch of risk that will put my family at ease. The cost is nuts but I spread it out over a bunch of years. Thankfully I saved (and saved and saved) and own my little Tomahawk outright which has allowed me to build a bunch of hours.
Hey Perry! My dad used to flight instruct in the early 90s but got out of flying due to there not being good jobs back then. When I was in high school and deciding on being a pilot for a living my dad took me to one of his friends house who flies for Delta and while he was selling me on it he sold my dad on it. He sold his struggling business essentially at cost and decided to get back in to flying at 52 years old. He was a flight instructor for about half a year then flew freight in B-99s and now flies King Airs for our states aeronautics department. He is so much happier now and the 5 years it took to get where he is now then he was during the previous 15 years outside of aviation. I can’t speak for him entirely, but I’m sure he would tell you to go for it, the only regret he has is he didn’t do it 10 years earlier. Best of luck on your journey!
I think if I don't make the jump it will be one of my main regrets in life. I'm happy for most of what I have done for work. I feel like a switch to aviation now is like my epic peak drawing in all of my past experience and training. That King Air role your dad has now sounds like a great position.
Can I contact you privately?
Planeswithperrychannel@gmail.com is my email you can reach me at!
I am 52 and working on on ASEL Commercial followed by AMEL Commercial. You are NOT too old!
That is great! We are right on a similar point in our progression. Good luck with all the rest of your training! I hope it goes smoothly 👍
@@planeswithperry Same to you! BTW, where are you located? We should keep in touch. Always looking to network with fellow pilots.
I am based out of Medicine Hat (CYXH) and Bow Island (CEF3) (southern Alberta, Canada). Where are you based out of?
@@planeswithperry I am based in Lewisville, Texas. Basically Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex.
I have a nephew who flies a Falcon Jet for a large corporation. He told me recently the demand is so high and the pilot shortage so bad that anyone in their 50s with a valid commercial certificate and a good 2nd class medical will get a chance to prove their flying skills at most corporations right now. If they show good piloting and have little to no trouble getting a type rating then they'll be hired.
The algorithm brought me here, great content wish you the best of luck 👍🏻 new subbie and fellow aviation enthusiast cheers from Az!!
Thank you! I'm excited for the next steps!
I've had a commercial certificate since my 20s. I've spent my career working on planes instead of flying them, however. I will be 57 years old soon and just began training for my CFI. I'm going to fly for a living, damnit. I'm going to fulfill my dream. I enjoy maintenance & will likely continue in some capacity, but I was destined to fly & have been told I'm good at teaching. Will I only instruct or will I choose some high-demand job with a revolving door like pipeline patrol, skydiver taxi driver or crop dusting? Is it possible some corporation might give me a nod? I don't know, but the only one who can tell I'm too old for this is my DME, so I'll listen to him.
That is awesome! I'm sure your training will go smoothly, especially with all your background. I think mature instructors are like gold. So many people would want to train with someone who has spent decades working in aviation!
PERRY, THIS STORY IS TRUE, BUT IT IS NOT ABOUT ME. IT IS ABOUT MY SON My son worked for a major corporation for 30 years and earned his full pension at age 52. One April day about five and a half years ago, he called us up with this proud and bold statement. "Dad, mom, i have just retired, are you sitting down? I, being totally unknowing asked him what are you going to do now.? He said I'm going to become an airline pilot. I was so stunned by this revelation, don't think i said anything for about forty seconds and i think that was that was the longest speechless period of my life. Long story short, he had accumulated about 1500 hours over the previous 23 years and was a part time instructor freelancing out of several different airports He had acquired a 1974 warrior that he also used for instruction and for rent. He qualified for United Airlines training program and made his first flight as an airline pilot about six months later. It does not get any better than that. The only hitch was covid which cost him his job about six months later. He had a rough ten or eleven months but was ultimately hired by delta as the pandemic subsided. It can happen and he is living proof. that seemingly impossible dreams can come true. . I am needless to say very proud of him. He is smarter and much more determined that i ever was in my lifetime and it paid off. Hope you enjoyed this true story.
That's a great path for your son. Its nice that he was able to get a pension with his previous career which I'm sure helped him during the pandemic. Proof there's never a "too old" to make the switch!
I CAN'T COMPLAIN. I had my fair share of aviation working at three different airports during my time. including line supervisor for four years. I only managed to acquire about 1000 hours, but i went all over the country and it was all VFR with a few minor delays and deviations. BEST EXPERIANCE OF MY LIFE ASIDE FROM RAISING THREE OUTSTANDING CHILDREN. BEST OF LUCK TO YOU IN YOUR ENDEAVORS.
Awesome! I just went for a flight last Saturday!! July 20, 2024 in Kingston, Ontario, Canada! The guy I saw you spoke with at the end was the SAME GUY on my flight, from Calgary,Alberta!!
What seat did you ride in? I still don't miss the money I paid for that ride. No other experience will ever compare to flying in a B-17!
@@planeswithperry ,waist gunner. Totally awesome! I tried to pay 500$ extra to ride in the ball turret but…nope ! lol In2018 I went in the B-25, again, awesome!! I guess the B-29 is next ?
The B-29 would be incredible I'm sure. That would be a great one to hunt for a ride next. If you ever get to Brandon Manitoba I was blown away with their Commonwealth Air Training Museum and if you call ahead on when they have the right people at the museum you can get a ride in a Harvard, Tiger Moth, Cornell, or a Fleet Finch!
Nice job…
Thank you!
Could be better without the music. You know that. But there is nothing instructional here. Flying through clouds. Not very IMCish. But VFRish. Good video quality though.
they can't be kydex molded or 3d printed?
If a person had a 3D printer big enough to print interior panels I suppose that's possible (some of the panels are several feet long). By the time a person bought that setup I could buy all new pre-made panels instead. The Kydex sheeting would also be possible for more money than I spent and far more time required (plus far more aircraft down time). Buying Kydex sheeting large enough to make the panels, plus shipping and customs, plus time and effort considerations would put the price in the ballpark of buying pre-made panels
HI, I've been a CFI on the tomahawk for 5 years and I gotta say I definitely learned a lot from this video, Hope to own one myself soon.
I'm glad I could help! Tomahawks are awesome as you know. You'll love owning one and flying as often as you want!
Thanks for the great video, Perry. I will be going through this with my Tommy next year. BTW - when I bought my plane this winter, the previous owner had his mechanic install the Sterling nose link I bought, and it definitely improved the nose shimmy for a while, but it is slowly returning. Maybe sometime we can chat off-line on email about the tolerances and shims. You seem like a very capable engineer / mechanic type of guy.
Absolutely. Send me an email planeswithperrychannel@gmail.com hopefully we can get your Tomahawk sorted. Have you found the group on Facebook for all the Tomahawk owners yet? If not, search "Piper Tomahawk Owners" on Facebook and you'll find the group. There is a wealth of knowledge there including a files section with the maintenance manual, parts manuals etc
Very cool! Wish I saw this before I turned my hangar into a "smarthangar" with Unifi gear and wifi switches.
Thank you! It has worked really well. I think the key is to use the module for low power switching to control the power bars rather than running the 120V through the module itself. Last year my text messages cost me $18 with that sim card so it's a great setup for hangars that don't have wifi available.
This is the first video I've seen from your channel, within about 3 minutes it was pretty clear this particular PA-38 is going to have a great life ahead of it. You love this thing like it's brand new :-) I'm impressed those avionics are still passing the tests some 40 years after manufacture - built to last. Stay safe sir! :-)
Thank you! When I first bought the plane I went through the whole thing with my AME and brought it up to the level I wanted where I can freely take my friends and family on trips. Now it's at the point where I have a full maintenance planner/tracker set up in an Excel spreadsheet and try to make little improvements along the way to make it nicer on every flight! Overall it's a low time airframe (around 3300 TT) and engine has less than 600 hrs since major overhaul. She's a nice bird!
Yes! I was the one going to ask about the encoder. Thank you for answering my question. oh yeah, ask your AME if you can give him a "by name" shout out. Thanks for all your vids. Cheers!
No problem! I'll see if he wants to make a video sometime. He's a really humble guy and I'm very happy to have him keeping this plane in check.
nice work!
Thank you! Several months later I'm still really happy with it
Great Avionics Shop. Lucky to have one available.
I really am lucky. It was a 3 hour drive each way but thankfully I had family nearby to visit and make the day shorter
I flu on this plane in 2009 and guys were so brave wonderful guys !
They really were a brave generation
Well, I am speechless, and brought to tears. Thank you for sharing. These are priceless years for you and your son. I am 69 years old, and my father is no longer with us. Today's kids have the advantage of countless pictures and videos to document their lives. I have only a few dozen black and white photos from those years, as film and developing were expensive in those days. You had to hand-wind paper film in the camera and then take it to the drug store to be developed, and wait a week, and pay a fair penny for the results. Anyway, keep the excellent videos coming.
Thank you for the kind words. I really try to get my kids involved with "experiences" rather than "things". I hope someday when they are older and I'm not around that they have great memories of these times.
The names and dates written in the B17 make it a personal experience to simply be in the plane let alone to be able to fly in it. I remember the CAF had a 17 near me in 1986 and the first thing that I saw was men who had served in B17s with their families children and grandchildren telling them well you met the others who were in their airplanes and this is where he was as a waist gunner or whatever. I remember coming away with a very different feeling about the whole experience. Then as time passed I ended up knowing several men who were Waist Gunners on B17s. Unfortunately for us time has passed and most of these men who flew in combat and the brave women who flew aircraft to Europe and the South Pacific are gone now. They are truly the Greatest Generation.
The signatures are one of the parts of that aircraft that really stood out to me. The bomb bay is it's own museum piece with that aircraft which makes it so special. A flying museum!
Excellent project.
Thank you!
This brings back memories of my dad doing the same way back in the day with me. Priceless man, priceless.
That's a big part of why I make videos like this. I want us to have these memories forever 👍

Unfortunately I can't make it. I'm working all weekend. I have to fit our flying days in between a pretty busy schedule 😐
That was fantastic. It goes to show, it is not to early to try to fly. This will be an heirloom video in the future. Thanks for labeling the names of the planes. Till next time, I will keep looking to the sky.
You have that right. His first time in a plane was at 2 years old! Our plane will probably be the only Tomahawk over Medicine Hat if you see it!

Thank you! 😀
@planeswithperry we need to do a fundraiser for you to get you a new visor for the PAX side... Also a bit concerned about your iPad position blocking your situational awareness of any other aircraft, it's creating a blind spot for you which could be deadly. I've seen it too many times in midair crash report investigations.
It probably looks like it from the camera angle, but from where I'm sitting the iPad is no further in my view than what the view would be past the A-pillar and side mirror of a car and doesn't interfere with my view outside the window. I can still see runways and taxiways on both sides of runways. As for the visor, I am looking for half a bracket that is 1/4 of the size of a credit card but refuse to pay the $300 a parts vendor wants for it when Ray Bans are cheaper 🤣
@@planeswithperry Cool cool.
4th circuit was definitely best, oh and you're now current for the next 90 days after the 3rd circuit. 😁
My goal is 100 hours per year so thankfully I stay quite current. I did have to pile on a bunch of night flying (and takeoffs and landings) recently just for getting current on night stuff. I don't do a lot of night flying up here in Canada during the winter
