    In her defense, there IS a handbrake on that aircraft.
    Definitely see the common personalities in the family.

    @PaulGarthAviation 3 года назад +2

    9:26 - Well... if you pull "that" handbrake, you would technically slow down. Suppose that's the correct term now.
    Your mom (aka MamaDix) did outrageously well!! Congrats.

    @TwoThreeXray 3 года назад +5

    Lew, I just want you to know, as a student pilot. It gets really stressful and sometimes I consider quitting. But watching your videos reminds me about why I have always wanted to be a pilot and I thank you so much for it! 37 hours down and 1 XC until I can schedule my check ride!

  • @Spray-N-Pray
    @Spray-N-Pray 3 года назад +5

    Your mom is adorable. Hope to see her again on the channel. "Grab the handbrake and give it a click mum." She helped out on approach to landing. Love it.

  • @ZeroThreeDelta

    MamaDix brought the best banter!!!
    Good thing she didn’t pull on that handbrake mid flight. Also - I know you were concentrating on that landing to make it like butter because nobody judges a landing harder than a momma 😂

    • @LewDixAviation

  • @brianwhite455
    @brianwhite455 3 года назад +1

    Lew, I'm curious as to whether you take requests. I've been following your channel for a few months now and absolutely love it. As an aspiring aviator who's just now breaking into the lifestyle, I was wondering if you could talk about your experience in owning a Cherokee. I've flown Cessna's and I know there is a lot of debate as to which is "better". I plan to make my first purchase soon, but I'm doing some research and gathering data. Even though I've never flown in a Cherokee, I'm partial to them (and other Pipers) based on research alone. But I'm wondering, more specifically, if you could talk about how much TTAF your aircraft has and how much it had when you purchased it. I've been hearing alot about the wing spar situation and I've heard people state that since Piper is no longer manufacturing wing spars, they can only be procured from used/wrecked aircraft. But since that is the only way to get them, it is difficult. What has your experience been and what is your professional opinion? I ask because your opinion is valued.
