Love the aviation videos thrown in with motorcycling. I think there are a lot of us who share an interest in both aviation and motorcycling so please continue to throw the odd flying video onto the channel!
Will try too!
Agreed - I'm in that rare demographic too.
Great video Andy, love the flight ones. Was there a bit of rust on GDB’s engine bulkhead?
Hoping to do a gyrocopter flight in the next couple of months. Should be fun.
No jealousy here mate. You work hard and are a success at what you do. Wish you all the best. Enjoy.
Thank you very much!
Just envious - not jealous. Enjoy
Anyone else a bit shocked how busy a little airfield like this is? very interesting. Loved this video.
Really pleased you liked it....
That's a perfect way to spend a day indeed! 🤗 Having that lush and lovely English countryside to look at from above is an extra bonus! 🤩
It really is!
Andy the mix of content between biking and flying is spot on .. great to watch whilst I'm having my lunch.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thoroughly entertaining. Having an avid interest in aviation in my 20s, it takes me back.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thnaks for watching!
Haven’t been near an aircraft since I was a simulator engineer in the 80’s, but I still enjoy a bit of flying 😊
Said to Mrs, “who would possibly turn off a video with TMF, a sunny afternoon, a Triumph and a Piper flight” ? Thoroughly enjoyed that, what a top day for you.
Thanks for watching!
Nice to see you back in the air. Interesting seeing all the pre-flight checks you have to do. I watch these to try and boost my confidence about flying. I find the older I’ve got, the more nervous I’ve become. Which is a shame because I love planes and aviation.
"This is where the fun begins..." same as on the bike, the twisties and turns and for planes, losing altitude and landings! Well getting to altitude and the views is pretty incredible too! Thanks, encourages me to get on and start flying - had two lessons, need a lot more!!
It's a fab hobby - if you're able, go for it!
Wrapped up my flight review last week in a Cessna 172. A far cry from flying multi-engine turboprops single pilot back in my freightdog days. Looked like a lovely day for aviation.
Very nice!
Do enjoy the flying videos. A great view of our beautiful countryside. Thank you for taking us with you sir.
My pleasure Gary
Fabulous. Takes me back to my flight training on Cessnas and Pipers in the early 90s. BUMMFFICH, circuits and bumps, flaps on base-leg, this vid brings it all back! Maybe it’s like riding a bike! Good for you for carrying on with it - I wish I did! The 360 camera captures so much of the feeling. Super stuff, Andy! The Triumph is looking good, too!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome video to watch. I could watch the country side and towns change all day like that. It's like a map coming to life.
Couldn't agree more! It’s a real privilege to be able to fly - a point not lost on me….
I’m lucky enough to have the same routine here in New York. I ride my Triumph down to the hanger and usually do about an hour or so of flying unless I’m going further for some reason. I always feel amazing getting on the T120 after a beautiful flight over Long Island! Great video!
That's awesome!
Thanks for sharing Andy. Remember doing my PPL in the Cessna at Cranfield. Good fun. Takes time to set all the cameras and microphones up so thanks again. Enjoyed that 👍
Thanks for watching Colin!
Brings back happy memories of flying for fun. Then it became a job and some of the magic wore off. Retired now, so I'm reduced to watching other people do it. 😆
....I know all about turning hobbies into work!!
@@TheMissendenFlyer Haha. Please keep going though.....it's a great channel. I've just subscribed, and I love the classic bike reviews.
Thank you - welcome along!
Great video Andy, i do like your flying vids, especially the fly / ride vids. Watching you flying and coming into land, remids me of last week. It was my 65th birthday, so my wife and i went to Tangmere Aviation Museum, where i imediately booked a go in the English Electric Lightning Flight simulator. I did much better than when i had a go before, but struggled to control it on landing, it is`nt easy is it. I recommend you go there one day, a really good museum, although small, there`s a lot of very interesting personal histories there.
Once again, thanks for a great vid.
Yes a pal of mine went there recently and recommended it….
Motorbikes and aviation, two of my favourite things. Love this video. Thanks very much for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thoroughly enjoyed this flight. You mentioned flying to the Isle of Wight, would love to see a flight into IoW, as that is now where we live. Keep all the great videos coming, love them all
Really enjoy the flying episodes, cheers Andy thanks for sharing 👍🏍✈️
Glad you like them!
As a pilot myself, I love the flying content of your channel.
Thanks for sharing!
Awesome, thank you!
Bikes & planes, it’s how I started. Thank you for this and combining the two.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thought I'd just have a short look at this video, but I stayed to the end ! You've probably told your viewers what the various terms mean and why : like, carb heater on/off, fuel pump off etc. Very enjoyable Andy 👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for taking us along, absolutely perfect weather and stunning scenery! Great landings by the way.
Thank you - I've had a lot of practice and so far number of take offs = number of landings.....
@@TheMissendenFlyer I hear when it comes to flying that’s a good thing 😂!
Many years ago l used to go for trial flights from Southend airport..15 minutes...On a couple of occasions l flew for full hour up to the Blackwater and over Maldon. the cost for an hour lesson was 40 pounds... l tried a gliding course for a week at North Weald, handling the glider during take off and.... landing...a bit tricker!....l just loved every minute of it.... however, as you are no doubt aware flying ain't cheap and other commitments then took priority....now, l fly RC aircraft that ironically is more expensive than those real fights over forty years ago...Great stuff TMF.... greeting from España
Greetings Brian - I haven't been up to North Weald for a while....you've given me an idea...
@@TheMissendenFlyerl know they do car and bike meeting there now, possible a boot sale....L haven't been there since about 1981..
....I did fly in last year...
Greasing those landings TMF! Looks like a bit bumpy at times, but beautiful weather for a flight.
Cheers - getting the hang of it after 26 years of flying!
As a more recent subscriber, I didn't know you flew! Brilliant flight showing off all South England has to offer and a nice insight into what non-commercial flying looks like. Wouldn't mind being a passenger lmao, you have quite a calming tone for the nerves. All the best mate 👍
I'm so glad you think that! I've been an active pilot for 26 years now so I'm gradually getting the hang of it... ;0)
New meaning to Gold Wing 👍🏻😎
Really enjoyed this flying lark. More of that please.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Good to see you flying really enjoyed it, your landings were good 👍✈️🏍
I've done quite a few of them in my 26 years of flying!
Nice one Andy loved it look forward to the flight with Mrs flier.
Well we did it but didn’t film it!!! Next time!!
Well if you had to remove all the covers and outside checks I would have beaten you even more convincingly 😁👍 very enjoyable video Andy
You think? Might be time we re-ran that race.....maybe White Waltham to the isle of Wight?
Thanks Andy - I do sometimes miss flying - I had a share in G-BOSE (PA28 Archer 2) at White Waltham - maybe I'll get back into it one day!
Funnily enough i was looking at that aircraft today wondering if I should get a share!! Looks like it's had a recent repaint??
@@TheMissendenFlyer it's a lovely aircraft, I'm no longer in regular touch with the guys, but it would be due a repaint and was always super-well maintained etc, so not a surprise. I think I can introduce you to one of the owners should you wish 🙂
Hi Andy hope you are well......really interesting video is there no limits to yr talents 👍
Hehe - very kind....
Enjoyed flying with you today! 😊
Thanks for coming
Im very impressed 👍 love the flight 👌 seems alot going on with the radio etc .. great stuff regards Glyn
Yes it can get quite busy in the ol kite!
What I spotted, raising the nose before adding power for the go around, 1st one, carb heat left on, 2nd one, you got it eventually, carb heat off at 300ft is what I was taught. Reducing power while still climbing for levelling off. Attitude, power, trim for level. You can fly a Piper Arrow at 90 knots straight and level or 125 knots straight and level without changing the power setting, induced drag, getting the plane to it's most efficient cruise. This is meant to be helpful, hope you don't mind.
Nope - whenever I post a flying video I get a lot of advice!!
Great day, indeed! Another IMC weekend here but maybe I’ll ride my Burgman down to the airfield anyway…✈️👍
Really interesting to watch as I know nothing about flying, what a nice chap you are, when you had to abort your second landing you found a positive in it. Hope you both had a nice curry.
We did indeed David! Thanks for watching - glad you found it of interest....
I loved the way you disposed of the fuel samples you used to check the fuel🤣🤣. I’m certain an environmentalist is having a heart attack seeing that😂
I was thinking that given all of the "fuel nappies" used nowadays in the construction industry. Why not simply tip the fuel back into the tanks in the wings?
I have always done it that way, I think my instructor told me specifically not to put it back in the tank (I suspect becuase of potential debris/water in he sample)
@@TheMissendenFlyerI suppose your instructor didn’t want you to contaminate the tank from which you’d just extracted the contaminants from!🤗
@@TheMissendenFlyer safer to contaminate the grass than the fuel tank. Grass will recover over time.
Nothing wrong with a flying video Andy great to pop them in once in awhile, you should see if you can get Geoff and Dan up with you for a fly n fry up 😂.
Yes, logistically might be tricky but a great idea....
Nice flight, here is a thought to discuss with your instructor. To enhance safety, on the takeoff roll you call-out AIRSPEED ALIVE, TAKEOFF POWER, ENGINE INSTRUMENTS IN THE GREEN. For a fixed pitch prop, you don't reach full RPM on the start of your takeoff roll, but it should be showing an RPM that suggests it is developing takeoff power.
Thanks for the tip - I always check "airspeed active" (your alive) and "Ts and Ps in the green" - so the exact same thing...and noted on the RPM. I've been at this a while now (26 years since I got my licence) so I like to think I know a bit about what I'm doing in the aircraft by now - I'm always learning though ;0)
@@TheMissendenFlyer looks like we have each been flying awhile. I got my private license in 1970, then a Commercial and CFI and eventually ATP. So at this point, no more jets, my fastest thing is motorcycling. 😛
Brilliantly accomplished TMF, fab video👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Love the flying videos TMF. Sweet looking plane. Always amazed at how much green there is on the ground.
Proper Top-Gun stuff, bike and all! Great to watch and your Motorbike reviews are so informative and addictive, a black hole for time for me..... in a good way. Btw, in a previous life I could hire a lighty for £5 per hour..... wet!
Crikey - those were the days!
Absolutely, and no landing fees at base. Mind you I was so young I had to get the bus up to the airfield (Coventry) :-) @@TheMissendenFlyer
didnt look rusty to me - I thought it was very accomplished from my point of view as an ex glider pilot ( no go arounds for me!) and it was great footage and a good watch - hope you enjoyed your curry!
Thank you Tim - you don't forget after so long do you (I've been flying 26 years noww)....and yes, great curry thanks!
Love these flights, cheers Andy.
Glad you like them!
You’re doing exactly what I want to do. However, I did not know that you have to log a number of landings and take offs every few months. It makes sense but it does mean that it’s a significant running cost… so once you have your licence there is really no turning back
Indeed....
Pretty neat Andy, don't know a thing about aviation, very interesting, thank you for bringing us along.
Lovely! I tend to lean toward the water, and drive my friend's boat, whenever he lets me. His speedboat runs a Yamaha outboard. I'm riding the MT03. LOL!
Superb, absolutely loved that. I'm a good way through my PPL training and had a taste of the perfect day recently. Rode to the airfield, flew solo out of the circuit for the first time, followed by a
ride home via the Lake District. Soul was completely topped up. If I see you at the ABR Festival, I might try to catch you and talk aviation, oh and maybe motorcycles 😊
Yes do come and say hello - and lets talk aviation rather than bikes!
Absolutely loved that video Andy, reminds me of what is no longer available to me, my pilot mate having given up flying now!! A small technical issue that I noticed with the 360 camera, from when you first got aboard the aircraft until you switched off approaching Stokenchurch I only had left channel audio. When you switched on again for final approach both channels fired up fine. Comments welcome 😃
Well spotted - bloody tech!!!!
Top Gun. Bike, plane - got it all. 😊👍
Great vid, Andy. I've been flying Warriors for quite a few years, and recently started my Cub rating - so I particularly enjoyed this one! Regards, Dan (Christchurch, New Zealand).
Did you see my Cub flying vid??
@@TheMissendenFlyer yes I did sir, really enjoyed it! Certainly much trickier machines on the ground than Warriors aren't they?!
Really do enjoy these videos, nice t0 watch something a little different, oddly calming, strange really as i would not get in one of those planes if you paid me,look foward to the next one.
Glad you enjoyed it!
love the aviation videos, I have a great interest in motorcycles, aircraft and photography, and as such get to see loads of aircraft at my local (ish) airfield. I recently had a flight and took control for the first time, of a Robin DR253 at 2800 feet and proceeded to fly it for around 10 minutes ( I'm a natural apparrently) before handing back control to my pilot for the landing. Thoroughly enjoyed myself and wore a grin like a cheshire cat for about a week after ! a superb experience and if only I was younger and richer ! well done and keep the aviation videos coming, along with the bike reviews.
Which airfield was that out of interest??
@@TheMissendenFlyer Headcorn (Lashenden) in Kent
Nice place.....
Love your occasional flying videos, Andy. I've always wanted to fly, but yet to have the opportunity as an adult.
Do you live anywhere near an airfield? Most offer trial lessons if there's a flying school there - just to give you a flavour....it really is great fun if you are able to give it a go...
@@TheMissendenFlyer Enstone is most local, then Kidlington or Turweston. I know I'd love it as I flew in Chipmunks and Bulldogs in my days as a cadet. Just need to find some funds. Oh to dream!
I learned at Kidlington - the guy that runs Turweston is a TMF subscriber!
Absolutely love this channel. I am really looking forward to more videos on the new Z 900 love the flying videos as well. Cheers from California 🍺
Delighted to hear that! Cheers!
I worked for Airbus, and as the saying goes, there’s no lay-bys in the sky! It’s not a washing machine, do it right every time! Cheers H
Speaking of pulling the air field with you... I once did the preflight of a C-150, then untied both wings and hopped in. After starting the engine, I attempted to begin taxi, but could not get the plane to roll. Then one of the airport employees came running out and untied the tail. Gawd, that was embarassing!
Oops!
I would enjoy a ride on that plane with you, but don't want to learn all that you know. Always amazing to see flight. Wonderful hobby and expensive.
Glad you enjoyed it
Always like a good flying video
Enjoy the flying videos , cheers Andy for sharing it with us.
My pleasure!
I found this fascinating with all the checks at the beginning, too. Great stuff TMF. Still waiting if you get your hands on a Honda CL500 and what you make of my new motorcycle
It's in the diary!
Not a bad day, Andy.
Indeed - my sort of day that....
Great video, thankyou. Have you ever flown in to Sleap airfield in Shropshire. It's a former WW2 base and has a well used cafe in the control tower. Many bikers call in on a sunny day.
I haven't - that's one of the few I've not done....
Just brilliant Andy. I find these fascinating 👍Well done Mr F.
Glad you like them!
Morning Andy, I usually just tune in for the MC content. Just flying about tends to be a bit dull.
Quite enjoyed that, Oddly I liked all the technical stuff, TCLOCKing the airplane before you head out. It is so long since I was current.
I once found my fuel contaminated with ATK doing my check. Which ruined my plans for the day. I used to dip my tanks with a stick. Haven’t pre flight checked an aircraft since the early 90’s.
Once upon a time long ago I flew with Glasgow Flying Club. It could be very frustrating trying to do touch and go. Spent a lot of time waiting for the big guys. In my Cherokee.
Good airman to do the go round. Good practice as well.
Like I said it was the technical details I found interesting. I liked your commentary on what you were doing and how you were flying. I’m sure some other people would find the details interesting.
Some little pieces of info might be interesting to any other aviation anorak type.
The air speed slow down to 85 from 100, it’s not the throttle which reduces the speed. The air speed is varied by the angle of attack or raising the nose. while the rate of climb or descent is controlled by the throttle.
The carb heat, heats the carburetor when the engine is at idle. If not heated it can gets cold and can ice up.
Nice gentle soft field landing. Looked like you had done it before. Didn’t hear the stall warning with the background noise but assume it went of just like it’s supposed to.
Yes I have landed once or twice in the 26 years since I got my licence!!! Glad you enjoyed it...
Andy, really like your content (CFI here).
Airplanes and Bikes, best of both worlds!.
Would like to see a flying series.
Fly Safe 💪🏻
Yes I'd love to make one but alas these videos normally don't get many views and hence the effort/cost to make them is not really worth it.....shame 'cos I think I'm a better pilot than I am bike rider!!
@@TheMissendenFlyer I ve been following your channel for a while and I understand the reasons 100%.
Bikes are great as well.
Wondering if you reviewed Zero DSRX already?.
Would like to see eventually in the future, the M1000XR and R1300GS.
Thank you
@@Chijousaikyo ruclips.net/video/EtLwWGcfdoo/видео.html
Air Traffic Controller and Motorcyclist here, the flying vids are always interesting, thanks!
Excellent! Where do you ATC?
@@TheMissendenFlyer TC. If ever you're headed north, give approach a call. I'm sure I'll recognise the reg.
Always nice to see what's happening on the other end of the radio!
Very much enjoyed the ride along with you - thanks for creating/sharing
My pleasure!
Great to see another flying video, it looks like a lot of fun and definitely something I need to do one day, to be fair I'd probably end up landing in the wrong field as they all look the same.
Go for it!
Hopefully we will get to see the trip to the Isle of Wight. We love it there. In less than 2 weeks we will be there! We usually get a Spitfire flypast most mornings at 11 Ish ❤️ it! 👍
Sadly you won’t - I flew her there the next day and we didn’t film it - had a cracking day out though!!! I’ll probably be back in the next couple of weeks so keep an eye out for me in the sky around Bembridge (or eating at “The Propeller”)….
The channel name makes sense now (only seen bike vids of yours so far)! Competent and confident in the Warrior, PPL or CPL? Hope yourself and Mrs F had a nice trip to the Isle.
We did indeed - and thanks for the kind words - I've been flying far longer than I've been riding....
Great, always interesting to see the flying videos Andy, as well as the biking ones.
Thank you!
Hi , nice one and keep some more coming😉
I remember having a flying lesson for my 30th birthday it was 30 knot winds from what I remember in a warrior p28 at Bobbington airfield it was great in the windy weather had to keep correcting the flying line made it interesting but the instructor had to land it almost sideways on because of the cross winds ...26 years ago where does time go .I sometimes ride my bike to Sleap airfield at Wem near Shrewsbury they do a lovely breakfast
Nice one - I had my trial lesson for my birthday too - 27 years ago! Got my licence a year later....
Thank you for taking me flying!
My pleasure!
I ❤these videos. More please x
I would if they got more views! They are quite difficult (and costly!) to set up and sadly they don't get much in the way of views....so I will put them up once in a while but won't be that often I'm afraid....glad you like thm though and thanks for watching!
Oh you lucky boy Andy!
Love the bike vids and the flying vids.
What more could you want!!!!
A bit more time to indulge maybe??
I enjoy all your videos, keep them coming ✈️🏍
Thanks, will do!
I’d be very happy as a passenger to hear your calm confident tones making passenger announcements from the cockpit 👏👌q: if you’re flying same direction as the cub for example, do you overtake on the port or starboard side ? Interesting that the fun is in the turns like bikes and cars.
The basic rule is "on the right, in the right".....you'd try not to overtake in the circuit though, seen as bad form.....
@@TheMissendenFlyer gotcha
Nice vid Andy, you sorted a fly in a Mustang yet or a spitfire? what a vid that would be 👍👍👍
Wouldn't that be nice! But at close on £4000 an hour I don't think I can quite stretch to that!
G- EGLM? You nicked the wrong one, you were in G-ISDB. You have certainly brought back memories of memories when I flew bug smashers, also from WLAC. The club had a great attitude to aviation and it was a nice place to be. I’d also forgotten how much gets checked and how often, especially considering the size of the aircraft. It makes me realise the value of my company’s engineers as checking a larger aircraft is so much simpler. If I may say, your flying looks pretty neat. I’m judging that by your attitude and heading control especially as thermal activity would have made that difficult. It was also good to see someone who was well ahead of their aircraft and that was good patter. Great stuff.
Top tip, if you are going to check the pitot heater, use the back of your hand just in case it is very hot. A hot very surface will bugger up your nerves and potentially cause your hand to involuntary clench up.
Thanks Trevor as always - I've been flying for 26 years now so am getting the hang of it - good tip on the pitot head, but to be fair I've never known one get too hot to touch (normally just warm if you've just switched the heater on). ....and yes White Waltham is a very special place, can't beat a pint watching sunset after a days aviating for fun....
Great video thanks! Some excellent 360° Footage too 👍
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching....
And not a white van in sight Andy. 😀
Appreciate the pre departure walk around checks, we do that in the trucking world. I wonder if you find defects that stop you going up often?
Not that often - maybe one in fifty flights?
Loved your train of thought for a cracking Tuesday, and who knows, maybe after the curry 😅
You'll get more feel on landing with a set of SuperCorsas 👍
Very interesting. There are worse ways to spend a Tuesday. I hope you enjoyed the curry 😋
Wow. Very interesting. Thank you very much for that 👍 funny watching though, from the camera you cant see much in the way of a runway. 😂😂 👍👍
Well tbh there isn't much of a runway - it's just a big grass field!
@@TheMissendenFlyer good that you know where it is 🤣🤣
Interesting as ever. Views are absolutely amazing up there. I completely get why you need to keep the flying hours and practice up for safety. It's perhaps slightly more worrying that you can get your motorcycle licence, not ride for a decade, and still buy a two-wheeled missile and head out.
Very true….
love they flying videos 😊
Glad to hear that!
Up up in the air.
Living the dream :-)
Trying hard too!
An interesting departure from the norm TMF.
Glad you found it so!
Always enjoy your flying videos cheers Andy🙂
Thanks 👍
I have just started learning in a low wing microlight at a small grass airfield. The Piper is a really nice looking plane. I always think I would prefer the Pipers to Cessnas due to the low wing position, it's just more sleek
Yes I'm very much a low wing person....
Well, seen through the rheumy eyes of a super critical ex-pro, one thing leaps to mind.
That farm on finals for 07 - richly deserves a paintball Bofors in the front paddock . . .
(And you took it back without breaking anything - engineers have to eat too y'know! : )
Trust me the engineering boys don't starve.....
@@TheMissendenFlyer - Ha, ours used to drive a 1940's Morris Ten - 'cos he 'liked working on modern machinery now & again'! : )
