I got my first set of King Schools VHS tapes in the late 80s and it came with a DOS based "Computerized Exam Review" program. Always makes me smile to see these clips of John and Martha on your channel. Keep the pointy side forward, the dirty side down . . . and by all means, please, stay out of the trees.
🤣
Thanks for sharing!

They've should have kept it that way DVD because their online videos are constantly buffing and they've never took care of that!!!
loved the joke at the end 😂
explains it well! this helped a lot! thank you!
Glad it helped!
Very well illustrated.
Thank you!
Love your videos so much they have helped me get through ground school! Can you make a video on how to determine which altitude has the "most favorable winds"?
Glad they're helping, and great suggestion!
This is great!
Thanks!
Still recall John's talk at an award event (IIRC) talking about altitude temperature pressure and overloading a 2+2 with fuel at altitude then trimming the trees.
It is ideal to stay out of the trees!
@@KingSchools Unless you are seeking a softer landing then might otherwise occur, it's always an option.
One more thing...mother in laws are restricted from flight....I'm sure there's a FAR somewhere....
It's hard to tell a 350lb female she's too fat to go...any 135charter pilot will tell you this...
So,I say you'll have to take a bus...
