FlyWire is about exploring flight and the freedom this incredible experience brings us on a personal level. Flying has always captured the imagination and excitement of living life to its fullest. Hi, I'm Scott Perdue. In a former life I flew the F-4 and F-15E, more recently I retired from a major airline. I've written for several aviation magazines over the years, was a consultant for RAND, the USAF, Navy, NASA as well as few others, wrote a military thriller- 'Pale Moon Rising' (still on Kindle). But mostly I like flying, or teaching flying. Some of the most fun I had was with Tom Gresham on a TV show called 'Wings to Adventure". We flew lots of different airplanes all over the country. Now with FlyWire I want to showcase the fun in flying, share the joy and freedom of flight and explore the world with you. Make sure you subscribe if you want to go along for the ride!

It always amazes me how fortunate we are in North America, regarding our freedom to fly. Thanks to the bravery of the Greatest generation that ever existed. 🇨🇦
What?
Welcome to London, Scott!!!
I hope that you feel right at home.
How unreal is this!! I'm next door with Blackbushe Aviation!! 😅
It’s always fun to travel with you, Scott.
How refreshing to have an American perspective on the UK flying scene - This is excellent positive informative video. There is far too much doom and gloom on the disappearance of airfields and the general demise in the GA. Thank you 😅
Very interesting, Scott. You really do a good job interviewing by letting people talk. Nice editing in clips as subjects arose. Just a good idea to get those guys to tell about themselves and the business. You might keep an eye out for more opportunities to interview people associated with aviation. A fueler, a baggage handler, a controller etc. They'd enjoy it and you have a broad knowledge so you can prompt with good questions. Thanks for your work.
Thanks for this Scott, here in the UK I had the good fortune to learn to fly at a friendly, fun, flying school and got my licence when I was 67 after 50 hrs. It was great to realize a boyhood dream and it's a good reminder that we shouldn't let our dreams die.
Absolutely! Good on ya!
Home airport. Busy airspace indeed!! Thanks Scott.
Welcome to the UK. You should visit Lee on Solent (Euro flight trainig there are great) and Shoreham
Took my girl flying their around 1992(?) and had a great time. G-GROWL. Not sure if the airplane is still around, but the girl is!
Welcome to UK…EGFH…PPL this year at 72.🏴
Great club
Hey Scott! Why are you converting your licence? Great video, and great interview!
Good question. I've got a video coming up on that.
How come you want the UK license?? Nice video! My 1992 A36 was based in UK from new til I picked her up from Gloucestershire (EGBJ) in 2018. Now based in Germany 🇩🇪

G'day Scott,
Yikes !
Getting Paperworked to levitate in Blighty, eh ; I'll bet that'll costa lotta dollarbucks (?) !
I was barely getting used to your move from Airpark to Hangar-House...; it's a surprise to hear that you'll be flying sufficiently in British Airspace as to find it worthwhile learning to jump through Imperial Beaurocratic Hoops...(!).
Well done on the Test-passing..., it's a Buzz passing first time ; as I too discovered last week.
I had to take a Computerised Test (shock, horror, Luddite Anxiety trigger !) to qualify for a Motorcycle Learner's Permit ; being an old Nurse, with Orthopaedics my strong suit - I've never had a motorbike in my life, but the eBicycle is not a practical thing for Grocery shopping 15 klicks out of town, 10 km of that along the New England Highway...
So I'm setting up to fly
Slow and
Low, on a
Poor Man's Tesla...; actually a
Talaria Sting 3000 (L1e).
Warbles EKnevel has bought a
Road-registered Electric Motorcycle, 2,300 W/hr Battery, 6 Kw Motor, "regulated" to 3 Kw / 45 Km/hr & registered like a 50cc Motor-Scooter.
Fairly heavy, 68 Kg..., looks like a 125cc Trail Bike...
I was on my way to collect the Bike with my car & trailer when I stopped and picked 19 correct answers for 20 questions (95%), and apparently 3 wrong is still a Pass - so I'm now licenced to ride a Lithium Ion Fireball-in-waiting up the side of the Highway at 45 km/hr with the Traffic at 100 a metre off my Handlebar Mirror...
But it promises to save me burning 500 litres of Petrol per year.
With all the stand alone Solar Equipment to charge it, and a new backup Generator - the Bike is a $20,000 project - add $4,000 for a little Shed to put it all in, and for a mere $4,500 more an eChainsaw, eBrushcutter & eLeafblower rounds the Decarbonisation Attempt out at about $30,000 of Oz money.
I'm throwing another $12,000 at what was already a $12,000 Fireplan as well though ; so it isn't as if sticking with the cheaper Petrol systems don't have their built-in hidden costs as well.
The old backup Genny cost $470 ten years & 3,000 hours ago, for 3 hr/litre charging Batteries on cloudy days...; and a thousand litres at $2.07/litre, the Genny drank over 4 times it's purchase price, measured in Petrol.
Anyway, you stay safe in Britain, and I'll wait for the Jacket & Gauntlets to arrive before trying to ride the Sting.
Stay safe.
;-p
Ciao !
