    I really appreciate how good a pilot Matt is. If it were not for Matt, I never would have discovered Katama at Block Island. After watching his video we landed our Mooney on the grass at Katama and had the best breakfast of our lives. The trip was only slightly more than an hour from KCDW. But there is one thing I'd like to say to all of you young pilots brought up with WAAS and autopilots. Just imagine learning to fly in the early 1970s and getting your instrument rating with only one VOR on board?
    Imagine having to do a holding pattern with only one VOR with no GPS or autopilot or an ipad? Imagine you are flying along and the FAA examiner suddenly says: "go direct to the ABC VOR, hold on the 060 radial, with left turns. Report level at 3,000 thence climb while holding to 5,000 ft. Thence report level. After that, if you succeeded, he would direct you to land, while under the hood to the nearest airport with an ILS. He would be kind enough to give you a 30-degree intercept to the ILS or LOC. God forbid you blasted through and let the localizer go full-scale deflection. That was a pass or fail maneuver. If you guys think it was easier to get an instrument rating back in the 70s, you are wrong. To this day, I'm convinced there is only one reason why I passed the test. "God was my co-pilot". Or maybe I should have said, "God was my pilot, I was only the co-pilot". After 50 years of flying, I must admit that I've been saved a few times by something more than pure luck.
    I've had experiences where I can't explain why I'm still here while following all the rules. As the Chaplin told Captain Scott in the original movie, God is my Co-Pilot:
    " You see, God is every pilot's copilot".
    Haven't you ever wondered at least once how you got out of "that mess" you got yourself into? If you haven't yet, you will.
    BTW, Alan Hale, the Chaplin in the movie, God is my Copilot" went on to become the skipper of the disabled boat on the tv series, "Gilligan's Island".
    For any of you who are unfamiliar with the famous WWII era movie "God is my Co-Pilot" here is a link. ua-cam.com/video/fiqjSQfwDg4/v-deo.html

      @MariaA Dv Survivor Sorry to hear that. I'm going to say something here that maybe has very little place here. And anyone who opposes what I have to say has an absolute right to oppose what I'm about to say.
      Since we are here with the opportunity for anybody who is "lost" or has a "special need" as we all do, please download an App called "Relevant Radio"
      It's a religious radio station where anyone who has questions about whether there is a God or whether there is not, is an outlet for "talk radio".
      If anybody here wants to know more about life and whether "quantum physics" or "string theory" is the real answer, why not "take a chance" and download the App, "Relevant radio.com" and listen for a few days.
      After all, we don't have to believe in anything. So why are we afraid to listen to an alternate way of believing the way the Universe was formed and how we "humans" fit into the mold"? Even String theory is now being "dissed" for "quantum loop gravity".
      So what will be the next "scientific theory" after the above are shaken off as dust? If science can not confirm the theory, the theory can never be accepted as true.
      I'm a believer that there is a God. I also studied "space technology" while a student near Cape Kennedy in the early 1970s. The early scientists, like Galileo, Newton, and many others believed there was a "GOD". Today it seems fashionable that to believe in a "Creator of our Universe" is heresy. I say, not.
      Please download "Relevant radio.com" and take a few days to listen. If you don't like it, discard it. If you like it, keep it.

    You reminded me of what a flight instructor told me years ago while we were flying over the forest at night in the Ozarks. " If you lose your engine here at night turn your landing light on if you don't like what you see turn it off" lol Great video Matt.

      My first job {1979 - 1980} was working as a lineman at an FBO at Albert Whitted Airport in St. Pete, Florida.
      One V-tail Beech Bonanza pilot there - who MIGHT have been a WWII pilot, I never thought to ask - once told me something like what your flight instructor told you. He said if you lose your engine at night, glide down to about five hundred feet and switch on your landing light. If you CANNOT find a decent spot to land, switch off your landing light....

    Hi Matt, cool to see you come into my home airport Hanover County, OFP, where I keep my Stinson 108-3. I wish I had been there that day to meet you. Also, I flew into Martinsville MTV many times in my corporate job flying Gulfstream G280's for Dominion Energy out of RIC(now retired). Nice little café there in MTV to grab a sandwich for lunch. I enjoy your videos. Nicely done. Also, you'd fit right in to a jet seat in the corporate world, if you're ever so inclined. You've got the routine down pat. Not much difference in your tricked out A36 and the cockpit of a Gulfstream. Of course, the jets go a little faster and cruise a little higher. We typically cruised at 40 - 45 K altitude; mach .82 (475K TAS). If we were light and the air was cold, we could see 6000 fpm climb :)) Yee-haw!!

    Thanks for posting this video about your trip to Florida. I've been recently planning a VFR flight from Toronto to Orlando and as a lower hour VFR pilot (200 hours) I've been concerned about the weather along my 1000nm trip which crosses the Appalachian mountains. I found this video very informing about what i might expect in the Florida area. I had a good chuckle about the wetlands and gators scaring you more then engine failure in IMC... A very badass, humble and humours comment at the same time. Keep up the good work. Cheers!

    When I was younger, I used to fly a lot....of single-engine at night. But its true, as you age, your assessment of certain risk factors change, and now I rarely ever do it. Same goes for my old days of skydiving :) I thoroughly enjoy your videos and your flying methods are sound, logical and precise. Nice job all around Matt.

    The Beechcraft Skipper was the training entry to compete with the C-152 and the Tomahawk. There were very few made before the GA training industry fizzled out in the eighties. I prefer them to the Tomahawk, but they didn't make a significant dent in the C-150/152 domination of the market.
