    I just recently decided to go for my private pilot cert. Been watching tons of training videos and reviews on planes but this was the first time I got to see people out flying around having fun, doing the kind of stuff I want to do! Awesome video!! 👍🏻👍🏻

    Cessna 180’s and 185’s always add a touch of class to any UA-cam production. 👏👏👍 Thanks guys. Steph, go for the 57 or earlier C180, get the best of the 170 handling and the 180 load capabilities without the fuel cost and expense of the 185. Unless you can find the best of the breed the IO-470 powered C185.

    I did enjoy this. I am a single engine type myself with a seaplane rating. I teach bushcraft and survival so if ever any of you find yourself in the Kootenay region of SE British Columbia then I will trade you some fire skills for a flight. Keep making the films please and thanks again.

      @@fly8ma.comflighttraining199 I have been in love with tailwheel airplanes since I was a little kid and my uncle finished building his first champ and took me up from his grass strip in Central Missouri. Now he is on his 3rd or 4th, he actually found his grandpa's old champ and totally restored it. A 170 can just do so much more, and has such beautiful styling.

    Great footage and editing! This short movie is great motivation for me to keep studying and training. What you're doing here with everyone on this trip is the dream! I see lots of familiar aircraft from the Anchorage area.
    I used your online Private Pilot Written Prep Boot Camp and Premium Ground School courses. I just took the private pilot written test this weekend and got a 95. So I'd say the material helped a lot! Next up is scheduling the checkride in a few weeks. Then after that I will on to tailwheel training.
