First SOLO Aerobatics Flight | Flight Vlog | ATC Audio

After a few months of aerobatics training in the Bulldog with High-G Advanced Flight Training at Blackpool Airport it was finally time for my first solo aerobatics flight! This is something I've been working towards for a long time, and it was absolutely fantastic!

Takes some serious skill and courage to do that, well done.

[@PlaneOldBen]

Thanks a lot!

[@buckshot704]

The windscreen and canopy are so crystal clear; without the bracing, it appears almost open-cockpit. Well done indeed! 😎👍

[@JamesWoodrow]

Awesome job, Ben. Well done and congratulations!

[@garydell2023]

Thank you Ben. That was great. Good to see your pressing on to new goals in aviation. Fly safe.

[@PlaneOldBen]

Thanks a lot, Gary!

[@wayneharrison2358]

Nice video Ben. Cool to see the visuals through that big canopy.

[@andydonaldson5593]

Great work Ben!

[@jamiearrowsmith8436]

Great video! I had many happy memories flying with 10 AEF out of RAF Woodvale in the Bulldogs in the late 90’s/early 00’s .

[@DPoole94]

Well done Ben that was brilliant! One of your best yet

[@PlaneOldBen]

Thanks a lot!

[@chrishill8034]

Well done matey ! You've come along way since the first video I watched of yours..

[@PlaneOldBen]

Cheers Chris!

[@duncancasey3917]

Well done Ben. Seriously, seriously impressed. No different to a vigi I’m guessing?!

[@julianpratt9616]

Fantastic video Ben, thanks for sharing - I have only flown about 8 different types but have flown the Bulldog solo and aero'd dual and it is the best aircraft I have ever flown without question. Such a fun and capable aeroplane and the visibility is awesome!

[@PlaneOldBen]

I hugely love flying the Bulldog!!

[@stevel1451]

Great video Ben, I owned a Bulldog in Australia for 12 years. The best coordinated plane I have ever flown. She’s back in the UK now and I miss her more than you will ever imagine

[@ThunderChunky101]

Such lovely little planes to fly. All that lovely view.

[@marct9845]

You made that look effortless, well done’

[@PlaneOldBen]

Thanks, it takes a lot of practice and effort so I'm pleased it came out ok!

[@michaeljohn8905]

Very nice sir. Most people can’t even keep an airplane In a landing config. Let alone pulling G,s in an accelerated stall in a turn. Well done sir I am the definition of jealousy. 😂😂😂

[@danwilliams7354]

Well done!

[@JodelFlyer]

Very good video Ben and another first for you. Well done

[@maxchester3247]

great vid ben!

[@PlaneOldBen]

Thanks mate, hope you're keeping well!

[@RoryOnAir]

So cool Ben! Congratulations on achieving another flying mile stone. 👍🤟

[@PlaneOldBen]

Can't wait to take you up for some aerobatics!

[@RoryOnAir]

Plane Old Ben me too mate - will be an ace video!

[@dereksanders7905]

Great video Ben, I was worried that you had forgotten to secure the paperwork folder on top of the instrument panel! It must have been secure though as it didn't move during the loop! Velcro?

[@PlaneOldBen]

It'd tightly clipped in there!

[@TheMicroPilot]

Always loved the look of bulldogs! Look like good fun the fly!

[@PlaneOldBen]

You should come to High-G and give it a try!

[@TheMicroPilot]

Plane Old Ben Would love to fly with you next time I'm up in Manchester!

[@salcombebunker1800]

Brilliant Ben amazing flight.

[@PlaneOldBen]

Thank you!

[@christopherwalker1359]

Note the ripples in the outboard section of the wings under positive G. Is that considered normal?

[@JB-tc8el]

Hi Ben, do you wear a parachute in the bulldog when doing aeros?

[@OllyJ2k9]

Class

[@ATCAJAMES]

Bloody brilliant

[@PlaneOldBen]

Thanks bro!

[@theflyingfool]

Nice one Ben! Aero training is one of my ambitions once qualified.

[@PlaneOldBen]

Steve you will love it!

[@neasy9732]

Nice flying Ben!Anyone know the outro song?

[@benhickmott7910]

great vid again mate

[@PlaneOldBen]

Thanks Ben!

[@ForkFlight]

Had never heard of the bulldog before. Looks like a fun plane to fly and from what I see, very reasonable in price for what the little bugger can do.

[@PlaneOldBen]

Its a fantastic aircraft.

[@TheFlyingReporter]

Well done Ben. Not at all jealous.

[@PlaneOldBen]

Thank you for your continued reports.

[@420Donnelly]

Well done son, well done!

[@PlaneOldBen]

Thanks a lot!!

[@Munroav]

You perform these aerobatics and the checklist is left on the instrument panel and it doesn't move an inch??

[@GiuseppeSRedSky]

Just subscribed to your channel :)

[@SteveMiddleton]

“Alright?” Tee hee 😁👍

[@PlaneOldBen]

Cheers Steve!

[@KOUKAROS-GR]

Which plane is this? Rv?

[@michaelmiklosofficial]

Congratulations and onawards and upwards. Bulldog is British

[@PlaneOldBen]

Thank you, Michael!

[@michaelmiklosofficial]

I will be at AeroExpo

[@forfengeligfaen]

What's the horn during the loops? Presumably the aircraft is not stalling?

[@PlaneOldBen]

It's the stall warner.

[@forfengeligfaen]

Plane Old Ben so the plane *is* stalling?

[@jackmcintyre1522]

I could be wrong but I think it’s “g stalling “.

[@PlaneOldBen]

It’s not stalling, the stall Warner just provides a sign of an oncoming stall. It’s created due to the movement of the stagnation point moving downwards and activating the stall flapper switch.

[@Thinkflite]

How many hours have you got now Ben?

[@PlaneOldBen]

Around 300!

[@michaelmartin2486]

Man that wing was flexing with some decent skin wrinkle......

[@JoshPlaysHD1]

Why do you have to wear the gloves?

[@Neuigkeitenessen]

Not bad I like that

[@laszlogal2649]

OMG
First you have to learn to fly, then you post videos.
;-)))))))
