FLIGHT CHOPS DISCLAIMER:
I am a "weekend warrior" private pilot, I fly for fun with no intentions of going commercial. I have had my PPL for over 15 years, but still consider each flight a learning experience - I generally take detailed notes after each flight to remind myself what went well or what I could do to improve.... Having the GoPro cameras to record flights like this is invaluable. I find these self analysis videos very helpful in my constant quest to improve, and am happy to share. Feedback is invited; however, please keep it positive
I hope you know how much good your channel and many other aviation channels are doing for the next generation of aviators. I am just now doing my PPL, but I never knew the details and excitement that can be found in so many different avenues of the aviation world besides flying military or commercial airliners (not that they are any less important!). It's a wealth of knowledge and inspiration for the next wave of new pilots and I appreciate the content greatly!
Congrats on starting your PPL! Whenever I start mine, I'm considering vlogging the whole process like Steve did with his original debriefs.
Thank you! It really is a wonderful thing to fly. Worth every penny!
You should! I tried to, but the video equipment I had was cumbersome and was more trouble than I was willing to deal with. I certainly see the value in it though.
It might be worth every penny, but if it were not so outrageously expensive many more would become pilots.
Good luck and God speed.
He is debriefing.....Talking about correcting for margins I can't even comprehend! 15 feet tighter! Really!?
Incredible!
Dennis is a machine!
Great video Steve!
I can't really express how much i appreciate this v-logs. This brings me here in Germany much, much closer to Reno than anything else the last 6 years. Thank you! Greats from Dresden, Saxony...
The dynamic between you two as you’re editing is really entertaining! I’m loving these almost daily vlogs!
It’s been a fun but tiring experiment :)
FlightChops Hey, it was great to meet you at the races, you made my first year all that more memorable. Hopefully you can make it to Caveman Ranch sometime, it’s really something.
I couldn't imagine being able to fly that low, that fast and monitor the instruments for temps & pressures etc. Those guys are certainly a different breed of pilot.
Agreed
True
I am just learning about my great uncle who flew P51 in WW2 with the RCAF
He was killed post war in a crash as a trainer as a result of mechanical malfunction just after take off.
Watching you fly inspires me more to learn about him and that amazing machine
PS I am in Colorado as well
Fly well , be safe
And thank you,
SD
I don’t suppose you fly the 51 in Colorado where I can watch you ?
SD
Man that was intense! It was nice having the debrief run along side the qualifying run. Great video Steve.
Thanks!
Must say thank you to JP for sharing his debrief and providing race commentary... outstanding. As a fellow weekend warrior, plain old aviation enthusiast and race enthusiast myself, the opportunity to be in the cockpit in that fashion is as thrilling as it is educational and just downright freakin' awesome. Thanks again!
Thanks for the debrief JP! This is the first video I have seen going into detail about why the racer did what they did.
Awesome! Thanks for the feedback
I really appreciate the debrief. Maybe we could get a few more of those so new pilots can learn how to do this for themselves.
Had a 45-minute flight in P-51 Crusader in the 1990s with Joe T. One of the most memorable things ever. We flew over the USAF Academy.
Balls bigger than normal flight-pants should accommodate. Some serious badassery going on here.
“The stick is all over the place.” If he wouldn’t have said anything I wouldn’t have known lol! Nice debrief.
Classy, humble and professional pilot. I had the privilege of attending this year's races and they are simply unbelievable. Thank you for the video and effort. Signed, a retired U.S. Army Master Aviator
Interesting. I have never been to the Reno Air Races (I will go now) so I wasn't sure what they were about. Thanks to Elliot, Dennis, and JP for letting us ride along. The common ground that I see in the videos is the intense concentration on their faces...
Amazing stuff Steve! Those Mustangs in constant turns so fast and so low to the ground... goosebumps
Just remember, JP... with wide angle lenses, objects are closer than they appear. ;) And Steve... mini donut clip? LOL wow... never ever thought I'd see that in a Flight Chops video. You're really into full metal filmmaker mode. I can relate... love it!
That was exhilarating. Another awesome video and thanks for taking us along. Keep it up!
Flight chops>sleep
Steve, I was there last year but couldn't make it this year. Thank you for taking the time to share Reno '18 with all of us. Will definitely make it back next year ! Absolutely off the chart flying skills demonstrated at Reno. Your videos are great, but seeing the races live blew me away. Your VLOGs are the next best thing to being there, thanks again !!!
Happy to share!
Fabulous video. Greatly appreciate you sharing the pilot’s perspective on Reno.
This is great, I love how you guys intro the clips and make comments as you are editing the video! Thank you for taking out the time and energy to bring these to us, I find these videos super helpful as a pilot in training!
Wow! Being that fast and that close to the ground gives me the willies! I can feel the thrill up my legs. It's like standing at the edge of a tall building and looking down. Yikes!
Watching that lap of Dennis gave me goosebumps. Absolutely incredible to get that Perspective! Thank you!
Chops, thanks for this great post. So cool to ride along with JP on the course. I follow Elliot too and his videos are always informative and amazing. Great video. I'm sending the link to all of my air race buds!
thats full throttle racing. wish I could fly one
What I wouldn't do for a ride along on THAT! What a blast that would be! 😎
I know I'd just slow them down, even though I'm fairly compact ... any extra weight can mean the difference between winning and losing, for sure. No different in drag racing - physics is physics! At least we can ride along here virtually - THANKS Steve!! 👍👍
Reminds me of my crop dusting days up in Haver Montana. Flew for Pat Doyle in piston driven Pawnees. Lost enough of my good eyesight from diabetes 2 to give up flying dust. Anyway, I'm 80 years old in a month. It was a great job.
Channels like this inspired me when I was younger and now I hold a ppl and am a commercial aviation major at UND!
Awesome!
Hey Chops. All I can say is BUCKET LIST!!!! Now I've gotta check out the air races. Thanks man!
Got to love the North American Aviation logo T-shirt Dennis is wearing. Another great video BTW...
Thanks for posting less edited content. Huge fan of the fewer cuts you put in there - context and micro-decisions (like hearing a first backfire, and trusting your gut, or seeing that voltmeter not hit the green, but taking off anyway) - are the moments that we will stay safer by seeing/deciding ahead of time, but can rarely anticipate in the way we hope to be the case when we pre-flight brief. If you've never had an abort for electrical or partial engine failure, the "engine fails land straight ahead" won't ring untrue yet.
Steve! This was freaking awesome! I got caught up in a moment of serious excitement watching the timed lap. Oh man, it's so amazing to be a fly in the cockpit 109 years after the first air races! I imagine the first races were just as exciting! I need to continue my PPL...
Awesome stuff! Great to hear there will be more IFR training episodes this winter, but for now I’ll just sit back and watch the pros mow the grass in Sea Furies and Mustangs :-D. Life is good.
Ahhh those low altitude at very high speed intro!
Love so much.
Can't stop leaning over in my chair!! Fantastic ride...Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it
Not sure if your subscribers realize just how insane it is for you to be putting out day of recaps of this event, but you're a madman!
I'm on my 5th year of filming a 4 day auto-racing event with a small team of friends and there's nothing like it. Every morning starts before dawn and your lucky to be in bed by midnight once you've got all your memory cards dumped, batteries charging, and equipment ready for the next day. You get pulled into another world for a few days and nothing outside it exists. Everyone out there experiences it, whether pilot, crew, or staff member and it's what creates racing "families", that shared intensity and love of going fast.
It's awesome to see this side of Reno and for them to allow you in to be a part of it and to share it with the rest of us. That's no small thing, which I think you are aware of. Im curious to see, when this is all over, whether you get bit by the bug. You'll know for certain when you look at the calendar months from now and catch yourself counting down the days.
Great stuff! Thanks for being there posting exciting air race action.
Seriously wish I was at Reno!!! Since this is Saturday, have a great time!!! Go REALLY fast , turn left. Pilots, you have a race!
Im here all weekend, hopefully bump into you at some point, apparently the bronze jet race today 9/14 they had a mid air bump and both jets pulled out, also saw the dreadnought tear it up today, will be in the pits tomorrow for another great day, keep up tje good work!
Awesome! And yeah, I will be doing a meet up at the Flying Eyes booth (in the pits area) at 1pm - hopefully you can make it
Two weeks until the races! Can’t wait. Fly safe everyone.
That is insanely cool!!! Awesome job by the pilot and great video footage and editing sir. I would love to fly an old warbird one day, but my budget only allows either a 172 or a Cherokee right now.
Those mini donuts are awesome btw. Nothing like domuts and fast planes.
Holy cow, balls of steel to fly that low that fast.
The ultimate turns about a point. That was pretty intense.
Thanks for this video and camera set up!!!
Cool footage! I'd love to see more of the pilot's perspective out the front of the canopy, though.
Thanks for a great job Flight Chops. JP, Solid debrief and narrative - adds a lot to the on-line Reno experience for attendees and RUclips viewers. Check out Heat 3B everyone. Good, smart Racing JP, Dennis, and Dan!
Always lean the mixture a bit if engine stumbles. All air cool engines operate on very rich mixture on take off.
Wow, made my heart race watching the in cockpit view. I really did not realize how many there are to get the results. I would love to go see a round of racing. Awesome!
Too cool ..........fly low , fly tight , fly fast
Over 300 ground speed is pretty amazing. I’ll bet it takes a little time to figure out those pylon turns. What a wild ride!
See you there tomorrow!
Flying Eyes booth at 1pm? I’ll have a patch for ya
That flying looks amazing. It’s times like these that I wish I didn’t get really bad vertigo and headaches (from just flying commercial) and be able to enjoy that kind of freedom.
These planes are insane. Wow just wow.
Excellent video production and editing.
The more I fly, the more addicted I get. Sitting here watching this video waiting to go up again. ✈️
Totally buddy. And I was inspired to bounce over to see what’s shaking on your channel - water proof freakin’ drone Kickstarter?? Awesome move man! Any room still on the ground floor? ;)
FlightChops thanks 😊
Wow. That looks dangerous. Serious business. Who by the way would have the stupid to disrespect a mustang pilot?! Love your work.
I was just there today. Awesome experience.
Very cool video Steve! Good work Elliot!
I love every bit of this -- thank you for your hard work! (Let's ignore the trolls.)
These camera's make it fun. Fly safe.
Hi J.P. well done from your old co-workers who was on 701 :)
Love the helmet cam, really showed how hard he was working. Great stuff
Nice job with the cameras in the race planes, flying so low and so fast with so much turbulence was very impressive.
Almost missed Niel in the orange shirt(opening shot). Hi Niel!!
I think my heart would explode!
I'm with you there......I was tense just sitting at home watching, cannot even imagine how it would feel being there!
Very nice 'in the cockpit' video! Enjoyed going along for the ride in a hot Mustang. But... could have used a little more video on those Mini Donuts. Cinnamon or powdered sugar? Love those Mini's. 😉😉 😊😊
;)
Thanks for allowing me to live vicariously through this awesome video!
This is the best flying channel on youtube. Thank you for these awesome videos!
Right on! Thanks! We’re working hard at it, so the feedback is appreciated.
Love the content and love that you respect the audio in your videos. Would have liked to see the landing. It's probably mundane to pilots but interesting to non flyers and gives a nice natural end to the vid. Keep up the great work.
Top stuff gotta be the best sport ever made for man great stuff
That pilot seat is shaking rattling, Wow!
I have a problem with 400MPH and 50feet AGL ............. I want to be in the back seat !....... and then you troll the food pit (^%$&*) .....I can smell it but I just cannot get to it...... great video, really good camera shots of the donut fryer........ ah....... and an even better camera shot from the back seat of the 'stang..... WOW and THANK YOU for all the hard work in putting this on You Tube.
Thanks flight chops that was a great video.
Oh man I’ll bet that’s a rush!! That bank angle and Soren is insane!! I also live in Highlands Ranch!
Wooohooo Denver!
One thing about using GoPro's, or any fisheye lens camera, to judge distance to those pylons is that they distort it pretty severely. I've found that to be the case in my mountaineering and climbing footage as well, and they really distort pitch angles to make everything look steeper than it actually is.
Well, that was super-cool.
Can’t wait to see it tomorrow!!
Awesome! I am gonna be trying to be out there having more fun tomorrow - no editing! :)
Hey! I know that airplane! Seen it many times on the air show circuit here in Colorado. Good luck and Godspeed!
Great running into you. It was nice to meet you. Great job as always!
Great video ! showing everything
rockin the army nomex gloves
Man id love to see the landings
Thanks for sharing this. Nice work. I suspect the wide-angle lenses add something to the perception of being wide.
Really Really enjoying these videos. Thanks for your efforts, it is worth it for those of us who did not make it to the races.
Good job, have fun stay safe!
Damn. Didn't look wide to me. Could it have been the camera angle or just perfectionism? Either way, super impressive!
There's 4 T6 Harvard's in Bromont Québec for the airshow/airexpo. Thought you'd be there.
RESPECT!
Enjoying the Vlog! Keep it up....
Holy crap. this looks terrifying.
Simply inspiring Chops! I wan't to join you at Reno next year haha!
Absolutely amazing content!
What a great insight! Nice work Chops!
Really fun-thanks
Loving it. Keep
Doing what you do!
Awesome!
Holy crap that was awesome!!!!!
