Amazing, lovely little jet, the Provost, you lucky chap👍😉😊 A good instructor too. Thanks for sharing 👍😊
This was GREAT, Dan! Looked like so much fun! So beautiful out there - looks a lot like the area I live in from the air. Lots of green - mixed farms and trees. Those guys are great for taking you guys up! 👍😎👍
See all that yellow underneath? The whole UK was that way. Apparently where we get canola oil from.
@@TakingOff AHH, interesting!! I was wondering what that was - figured it was sunflowers or something, but that didn't make sense since the season is so early.
I'm sure that was a thrill! Good show! All could see the joy of flying!
Very cool experience!
Great to see you having such fun over here in the UK. Looking forward to the next episode!
This was such an amazing video thanks for bringing us along with you!
Excellent production. Great Captain. Thank you all. Cheers -
Hello from Minnesota USA! I can't wait to go to England!!
One thing I've noticed that is a major difference between here (the US) and a lot of the rest of the world is that often times the initial barriers to certain activities here can be shockingly low. However, once you are past that initial barrier you have very little upward mobility. Often, exponentially increasing cost from one level to the next is the barrier. Other times it is Byzantine bureaucracy. Meanwhile, in many places, like the UK and Europe, the initial barriers can be significantly more difficult to get past, but once you are past them you have far greater latitude than in the US.
Interesting. What are some specifics?
I don't think this is quite true. (As a british pilot, infact one of the ones in this video) who also flies significantly in the USA. Upward mobility is insanely hard here in the UK. We just have a few things we do better, like jets. But it's still far easier to progress as a pilot in the US.
Awesome! Looks like a blast. Great video 👍
Excellent episode Dan. You definitely had a perma smile going on. Looked like an incredible experience. Thank you for taking us along. The UK looks like a great place to visit. Keep up the great work. Safe sky's 🤘🇺🇸🛩️
Oh man, what a flight to remember!!
Hi Kevin. I live not far from North Weald, and the beautiful countryside they flew over is Essex where I live and learnt to fly. All US aviators welcome, just dont say do you like my pants, us uptight Brits might get the wrong idea and spill our afternoon tea!🤣🤣
@@stuartessex4535 🤣 can't be spilling the tea. That definitely looks like some beautiful country. I hope some day I can see it for myself.
@@KevinSmithAviation I hope you can! Its not bad for a little Island! lol
NICE.... first jet flight i did was in the provost when i was in the air cadets back in the 90s. those that caught the bug went on to learn to fly gliders, then chipmunks and so on. I got as far as the chipmunks before i left the cadets
The UK visit is nicely adding to your bucket list Dan! The Provost has a long and great history... super flight. :)
Awesome video. I work for a logistics company based on North Weald Airfield. Its all the blue trailers you can see.
I loved my time there.
@@TakingOff its a cool airfield for sure
Stevo got to fly with the thunderbirds
OMG Dan I cant believe you were at North Weald! I know it exceedingly well and live 5 mins from the Hanningfield reservoir you flew over! That main road was the A12, I drive on it most days. I learnt to fly at Stapleford which is a couple of mins flying time from North Weald. Small World! Very jealous of your flight in the Provost, look great fun what an experience, and loved the video😃😃
Yeah we had to avoid Stapleford airspace
Yes I thought you might. We have had the odd plane land here thinking we were North Weald!😂 Have a great time over here!
I would love to go up in one of those. Great video guys
Really cool video Dan. Glad you had fun flying the Provost from North Weald, one of my local airfields. Impressive flight crew that seems to have very high standards. Might try it for myself one day.
FUNTASTIC DAN !
Very Cool !
I agree with them that Rest Room and Bathroom don’t really make sense but would love to hear their logic with calling it a “Water Closet”
Hi Mike from the UK! I think it is an old expression from the 1800's. The loo was put in a redundant closet and given a water supply, hence 'Water Closet'. We generally say Toilet or lavatory, or Khazi (Carzy) or Bog if you are a cockney. P.S don't go into an English petrol station and ask for 'Gas'. They will sell you propane gas for your BBQ!😂
Good job with the editing and doing the best you can do with the sound.
✈️👍
First! 😂
Shame we couldn't get you up in them too! Original plan was 2 flights of 2. You and Dan, then Dean and I!
How long is the training if you have your PPL? Could I do it on a vacation
I think you have to be part of flying club
@@TakingOff oh....dumb
@@Kjp-hf7hp Gotta ask how that is dumb? Why should we let random people fly planes we own as a group?
