      @@gear_downyou may be a chill pilot, like me, but there's a massive difference between us when we operate ground machinery aka cars. You get FAT cars like the rolls roycr or the lambo ES YOU VEE 😂😂. I take it you never been on a real track before (no an oval and drag strip doesn't count), and if you did your lap times are abysmal. Try fast track cars. It's a bit more intense than flying. Once your a pilot you get used to the flow, but the track always needs your attention.

    I've been watching your content for a while now, and I absolutely love it. I've wanted to be a Pilot since I was 3, now 16 starting my Aviation Journey with ground School. My dream plane to fly is actually a Gulfstream, so I was wondering; Did you go to college, and what path after high school would you recommend for someone like me to chase to get into the Private Flying World?

    • @pilotbenny

    Awesome content bro. Would you recommend flying private more then commercial? I currently fly fighters in the airforce and have been thinking about flying commercial. I’m not personally ready for that yet, to stop flying fighters and fly a commercial aircraft but it’s not for me. My fiancée is pregnant with our first child and I have been thinking about it so that I can be home more for my son or daughter. For whatever reason I’d never thought about flying private, only commercial, but watching your videos has got me thinking about it
