Blessed to Fly
США
Добавлен 15 окт 2020
My dream of flying has come true and I would just like to share it with others that have that passion, interest, or just like to see amazing views you can't get from ground level. My unusual employment and living situation has necessitated me becoming a super commuter and fly serious cross country flights both VFR and IFR. Maybe some of my videos and stories will be helpful to others. I too plan to be learning along the way.
