Im in pilot school now, and flew to a nearby airport from our base airport to practice traffic patterns, and actually told approach "We brought Whiskey" so i can't help but laugh at the youtube channel name. Good video, straight to the point. Just need to maybe put what the acronyms stand for. Such as Airmen Meteorological Information Transmissions for AIRMET and Significant Meteorological Transmissions for SIGMET.
