7 Aircraft, 2 Teddy Bears, 2 Charities and 1 record
Last week the Ireland Aviation Challenge teddy bears, Captain Paddy and his co-pilot Lucky, came to visit. They are raising money for the Laura Lynn Children's Hospice and Dogs Trust by flying in as many different types of aircraft as possible.
We managed to break their record by flying them in 6 different aircraft types in 1 day!
To donate go www.aviationireland.ie
Aircraft flown in, in video:
Aeropastale Gazelle
Vans RV7
Vans RV8
Extra 300L
Vans RV10
Cessna 152
Massive thank you to EVERYONE who made this possible while the bears visited!

      Thanks! He's doing really well. Growing up soooo fast. He'll be 14 this year!! Nothing big, I've a few short videos with him and the fun we had during lockdown. I'll try get some stuff together and get a video made 😊

  • @bendrixbailey1430
    @bendrixbailey1430 6 месяцев назад

    Looks like your are having a lot of fun, but the low level stuff is what accidents are made of. Read the accident databases and you’ll see that the top cause of crashes is “maneuvering”, in other words, buzzing, low level flying, steep turns at low altitude. Hate to see you become a statistic bro.

    • @Theflyingirishmann
      @Theflyingirishmann 2 месяца назад

      Appreciate it mate! not something I do often. I now do Aerobatics and that has thought me so much about being high and safe

    Hi bud, was told about your channel down at the club and have been binge watching. Quick question, how do you use artists tracks on your content without getting kicked off? Tried once and was told off! Looking forward to more flying videos. Enjoy your trip.

    • @Theflyingirishmann
      @Theflyingirishmann 8 месяцев назад

      Hey! Thanks so much for the support! I hope you're enjoying the videos and I feel quite honoured that someone actually recommended my channel 😅 music is a weird one. I use what I want and hope that the copyright checks steer my right. 9/10 I find that the tracks are now allowed once ads get played over the video

    The only thing that’s better on the Bentley is if the engine breaks down whilst your driving the Bentley you’ll be fin but if the engine breaks down when your piloting the spitfire there’s a high chance you’ll die

    • @Theflyingirishmann
      @Theflyingirishmann 10 месяцев назад

      You say this, but I've had an engine failure and landed the aircraft back on the airfield in one piece with myself and passenger absolutely fine 😅 Bentley is a beautiful car, but I prefer the Spit in every aspect 😉

    • @MarjleyLemonade

    The aircraft always looks further away than it actually is.

      Wide angle 360 max does that alot! Although, we weren't overly close on this one

    I think they got the direction of the prop wrong, anti-clockwise it should be. Great video! I've asked John for a spin with him in his C42. Never been in one.

    I believe there was a bank robbery recently where one of the robbers kept screaming "Get down on the floor, or you will be attacked by a shark!", in an Irish accent... Looked a bit like you apparently, except for the Ronald Reagan mask. Rumour has it that you have been "fund-raising" to buy one of these babies?!
