    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.

    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"?

    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!

    It's hard to tell a 350lb female she's too fat to go...any 135charter pilot will tell you this...
