    Hey Mover,
    Shit Hot training flight! Particularly nice job when Lester simulated engine failure on short final & after handling that “textbook”, you trumped his situational awareness with your tally on the two other aircraft in the pattern! But the best part of that video was your comment on shutdown about flying fighters: “it’s single seat; nobody’s watching me...” How lucky were we!?
    And again, Brother, I thoroughly enjoyed recounting my USAF adventures with you on Monday & am thrilled with the positive feedback from your viewers!

    Skid cam is NICE! The production value is skyrocketing, if they ever need someone to do the aerial filming of Top Gun 3 or when they inevitably remake Iron Eagle, they need to give you a call. The skid cam shot over the causeway looked like it could have been from True Lies going down A1A, it also really made me miss the causeway. Great flying dude, you can tell Lester is proud.

    Can we have Lester as a guest on your channel maybe? even a live with Q & A one day goin over your previous training? would be fun, i just think it would be interesting since we are kind of along 4 the ride and invested in you both... in a non creepy way even tho its a bit weird i quess
    u and Lester are funny thats why i like good sense of humor even under stress
    is it annoying talking to each other with traffic in the radio?
    can we see u take Lester up in a jet one day????!!!
    much respect to u both and dont let him off easy Lester!
    also do these videos make the fighter jets f18/16 etc pissed u not with them anymore? u bad ass man they must be missing u!!!!!!!
