FlyWire is about exploring flight and the freedom this incredible experience brings us on a personal level. Flying has always captured the imagination and excitement of living life to its fullest. Hi, I'm Scott Perdue. In a former life I flew the F-4 and F-15E, more recently I retired from a major airline. I've written for several aviation magazines over the years, was a consultant for RAND, the USAF, Navy, NASA as well as few others, wrote a military thriller- 'Pale Moon Rising' (still on Kindle). But mostly I like flying, or teaching flying. Some of the most fun I had was with Tom Gresham on a TV show called 'Wings to Adventure". We flew lots of different airplanes all over the country. Now with FlyWire I want to showcase the fun in flying, share the joy and freedom of flight and explore the world with you. Make sure you subscribe if you want to go along for the ride!

I need a CFI like this.... He is calm, uses positive affirmation and explains himself well.
Amen
Mountains of experience. I can listen to pilots like this all day long.
We all do. Where does Scott live? I'm in Las Vegas and want to get current and back into flying.
I love the commentary she gives with her eyes. She's beautiful. Your videos and insight are awesome. Thanks for sharing.
Scott, your aerobatics were awesome, but she was the star of the show. Watching her eyes and excitement on her face was worth a million bucks. Thanks for sharing the video with us!
Steph did a good job of containing the nerves. Scott, you are one smooth pilot.
Old man's Airplane, old man STILL Rock N IT!!
A day she'll NEVER forget. Her comfort level
nurtured by you.
I wish I could have had Scott as my instructor when I was a student pilot.
I loved the multiple views. I felt like I got a much better idea what it would actually be like. Thanks!
Glad you liked it!
Steph has such expressive eyes, she didn't say a lot verbally, but her eyes surely expressed her excitement. And she's not even a pilot yet!!! Watched the manover a bunch of times, very, very interesting.
About time I hear someone say that speed is most important.
Our Scott, he's a "terror" with the lassies.
Awesome! When I was 13, my stepdad took me up in our 172 a few months after we crashed our 35 Bonanza (N4270B you can look the crash up on NTSB). The 172 flight was “just because it was a beautiful day to fly”. He showed me a few “tricks” WITHOUT WARNING ME. A stall and a 2G turn, again without him preparing me. I knew enough about flying to know the stall alarm. I heard it and almost went ballistic. THEN came the turn. I wanted to do serious harm to him for doing that to me but I realized he had to land that thing. When we got out of the plane I said horrible things and refused to get in the car to go home(I was still on crutches from the Bonanza crash). It took him 20 minutes of him apologizing to get me in the car. Peace
"Speed gives you options" - In deed it does!
After about 250 hours ASEL, I decided to take some unusual attitude lessons. That was the most valuable training I have ever had. It's one thing in primary training when the instructor says "don't do" this or that. It is a wholly different experience when you intentionally do what your instructor says not to. My instructor was a radio personality in OKC and was hilarious...on the air. But when we approached his Citabria after a thorough blackboard flight he be came no nonsense professional. And as we strapped our parachutes on I'll never forget his admonition before we started the airplane. He said "If I tell you to bail out don't hesitate because you will be in the airplane by yourself!" That statement as much h as any other let me know he was not playing. This was a deadly serious training flight and I had better pay attention. I did that when I was 45 years old. I am 78 years old and every time I tighten my seatbelt I appreciate the lessons learned.
She would make a very good pilot her eyes never stop moving very alert and attentive, that's what it takes
WOW! That was fun even just WATCHING! Stephanie's right, you are a good teacher! She was GREAT-- Cool as a cucumber! She, understandably, had total trust in you, Scott. Thanks for letting me come along for the ride😄😁😆!!!
Scott’s the best pilot. Love flying with him, on YT.
I love her eyes while you are explaining things to her. She will make a FINE doctor. Very situationally aware.
That is fabulous! Steph is obviously going to make a fine, fine pilot.
I imagine you are both very proud of each other.
brings back old memories thanks for sharing!
Awesome video. Thanks for sharing !!!
Thanks for the video. Enjoyed all the different perspectives.
Thankyou I have seen the split s turn written so many times but couldn’t understand. Steph seems to be a lovely lady.
Miss Stephenie is going to be a wonderful doctor I think !!
Had fun riding along. Thanks for sharing. You made her feel very comfortable. She did great.
Looks like loads of fun!
Perfect calm and cool, no show offs and well performed, that ball didn´t move during the roll, awsome truly! nd I´m always a Bonanza lover ... what more do I need?
Great video keep them coming!
Scott thanks for posting the video. That was very cool.
Love the new avionics! Great video.
Super video Congratzzz Steph
great video... bravo to both of you! great job
Great video! It's always good when you introduce someone to another facet of aviation. Thanks Mr. Perdue.
Would love to have aerobatic F33. Too cool Scott!
Love her response when she first felt the G's. Great video.
Scott, thanks for that video. I've never done any aerobatics at all and never learned anything about them. So this was quite educational to me, especially since you included different views of each maneuver.
In a previous life, I remember my first flight at NAS Pensacola in 1980 which was an aerobatic flight in a Buckeye T-2. This video brought back all the memories. THANK YOU!
I have a PPL and would still be nervous doing that. These are great videos thanks for sharing.
Hey Scott! Congrats for the video and experience! Hugs from Brazil 🇧🇷
I am so glad i found your channel. Stephanie's many facial expressions spoke louder than words. Thanks for the great video.
great all aspect photography .. thanks ! PS great instructor too!
Glad you enjoyed it
The new panel looks great!
My first was in a Cap-10B. Great fun! My favorite maneuver is still inverted spin with recovery to inverted.
That was a lot of fun. Thanks for the ride along
You bet!
Love the video but I would be on the third bag by now! Keep up the good work Scott, love it.
Excellent Scott...Reminds me of my first aerobatic lesson...in 1980...in a Citabria...out of Petaluma, CA, with all the flight work over the north end of the bay...all water, power towers, ships, bridges and roadways when you came out of the maneuver. I'm with you...I highly recommend an hour or two of real "seat of the pants" flying...if only to learn about the force of the forces!
In my time of doing my license you would have been a great instructor to fly with and learn so relaxed keep up the great work and I enjoy watching your videos 👍👍 very knowledgeable
Great job walking Steph thru what you're going to do with your passenger beforehand. exactly the right tone. Top notch cockpit side manner. You have a knack, man. Spin/spiral recovery and steep turns were some of my favorite maneuvers during PPL training. They were (maybe still are) required for a PPL in Canuckistan. A 172 really doesn't like to spin, especially with a couple of big boys in the front seats. We had to really get that nose high, and with the horn blaring, kick left rudder and add a shot of power and the first half of the spin was pretty much inverted. Even with full back pressure, it wants to spiral. Fun stuff.
Great job steph.
Luv It!!
Great video, as always.
I loved the discussion of speed vs altitude on the initial climbout. Perfectly explained. Sometimes I think CFI's emphasize Vy too much, it's too slow in case of an engine failure (most pilots won't react fast enough to prevent a stall), makes recovery tougher from an energy standpoint (as you said), and leads to CHTs that are too high. Well done, first video I've seen this discussion on.
You are the personification of aviation professionalism, knowledge, and wisdom. As a newly minted pilot, I learn from you, than any other single source. Thank you for sharing with all of us. I guarantee I’m a better pilot for it!
I loved the video, her eyes telling the truth 👍
Charming passenger. Loved her brave reaction to her seat sliding slightly. Guess it G-locked? (sorry humor attempt)
More !! Please !
Awesome Scott! Very cool to watch the changing data on the instruments. Thank you!
Glad you liked it!
I enjoy your videos a lot Scott - informative and inspiring for a novice pilot like me. Thanks!
Great video
Great video. Reading some of the comments I find it mindboggling that one seemingly can become a CPL with zero hours of aerobatic training. I never made into the the industry due to health reasons, but I definitely had a fair share of basic acrobatics training before getting my PPL.
Phenomenal!!.
This a great Channel my Fav
Great video!
Thanks!
I was actually in that situation yesterday! In an s2 pitts! And I did an aileron roll too! It was a BLAST! only thing that startled me was how violent a snap roll was. Still a ton of fun!
Pitts Special the only way to fly.
Great video! Great job introducing someone to aerobatics! You and Jim Peitz make me want a F-33C! And a Great Lakes! And an Extra! And this blanket!😀
Go for it!
Loved it itnwas an awesome video.
Very nice!
Retired with 37 years in the business, but I've never been upside down! Have never flown a tail dragger, either. Bucket list items for me, thanks for the fun video.
Highly recommended. Did my PPL in tailwheel, and learning acro now. Confidence and freedom.
@@SVSky Awesome. Glad you are enjoying this type of flying.
Awesome video Gunny! Always enjoyed taking fam riders along in the T-38 and getting some acro maneuvers accomplished. Kudos for not getting her air-sick! Cheers, Skid
Thanks 👍
✨📖
Great job with Stephanie. I love to see women get in this business. Two that I initiated are currently captains flying for the majors.
I believe you said Stephanie is a doctor?
(I could be wrong) she looks young enough for a career change!!
Scott, do you remember the old jokes about a doctor and a Bonanza?? lol
(Sadly some cases not so funny)!
Do you have any video the EXTRA days.
BTW: I THINK YOU CAN STILL DO THE 9G REALM.
Fighter pilots never lose it. It's in your blood.
As long as you're exercising and got some cardio endurance.
I don't recommend anybody from going from the recliner to any high load factor without a stop at the
gym.
Your contributions and your legacy to aviation will stand a long long time, Scott.
You are appreciated thank you
🛫🛬📖
Steph is tough! Most people's first flights are not pleasant.
Learning Aerobatics in a Super Decathlon, got to do the flying I never got to in the military but enjoying it as much as I thought I would!
Very enjoyable to watch. I’ve got about 11000 hours and never rolled an aircraft. Did a few loops in gliders and upside down spins. This has motivated me to take a basics aerobatic course this spring. Better late than never.
I can't imagine having 11,000 hours and no Aerobatic time. I received my sail plane sign off in an aerobatic sail plane in Arizona. Regular sail plane gliding bored me. Flying inverted while climbing under the clouds & thermals is a blast.
Can’t wait to go on my first aerobatic ride.... with Scott Purdue! 😎
My first acrobatic flight was in the back seat of a Navy TA-4 down at Beeville Texas.......I’m embarrassed to say that I tossed my cookies and had to use the barf bag. Dr. Steph did well.
An aerobatic airplane must ALWAYS be very thorough vacuumed!!! :-)
They are never clean enough. Junk always flies to the canopy when inverted.
I have about 40 hours inverted in a Decathlon 8KCAB - those were the days.
She did well. I've not done any training in aerobatics. I'm sure I would be nervous. The plane I own is only rated for 3.5 pos. and 2 neg. so even steep tight turns can bust the rating. Love the racetrack pattern. Thanks so much for bringing me along!
Exactly. That's why you should only do aerobatics in a Pitts Special biplane, Extra or One Design airplane. Just too much risk with a metal monoplane airplane whether certified or experimental. Too easy to overspeed or over G.
My first time upside down was doing spin training in a 172 for my CFI rating. Other than spin training and giving spin training the other acrobatic experience was in a L-39. Just some rolls. That's enough for me.
Granbury?! You're a neighbor of one of my best friends!! Loved the vid, THANKS.
I could watch her all day!
Gorgeous !
thank you.
She has the eyes of a curious one!
you can see the wing skin compressing slightly during the wing loading. Love the side view.
Exactly. That's why it's a bad idea to do aerobatics in a metal monoplane airplane whether certified or experimental. Just not enough safety margin. Too easy to over G or overspeed the airframe. Only fly aerobatics in a Pitts Special, Extra or One Design airplane.
Go Stephanie!
5G's are surprising But doing 10G's are totally exciting. Excellent Pilot!!!
Most people would be long passed out doing 10g's. Anything over 5 or 6 g's is just downright uncomfortable. Not fun and hard on the airplane.
Fun!
That was cool
Fantastic shots Sir. I've been in helicopter aviation all my life and had no idea there was an aerobatic certified Bonanza. After the split S I would have been begging to go back for fear of vomiting. :(
Did much better than I would have!!
My first aerobatics lesson was in a Pitt special - had a massive headache for the rest of the day.
The Thumb downers; are these people that give thumb up in inverted fly? Because this video and this pilot is one i would love to be in command for me in any training situation. Amazing snd “effortless” demonstration of what learning to fly (come on don’t come technical on me, i know there is plenty more to it, but lets not spoil it) is for any one that wonder; How fun is it?
It’s a blast! Try it!
Scott makes this sound like he is a rocket scientist! Your amazing CFI! where do you fly out of?
I honestly had no idea you could do this in a Bonanza. Awesome 👌
Don't forget this is an Aerobatic Bonanza!
@@FlyWirescottperdue just did some googling.... thats pretty sweet. Growing up my uncle had a V tail. CF-FYF.
😳🙌🏽📸I saw that! For the first loop you started at precisely 5000, and where did you wind up climbing up to 6100 and returning where? Bang: right back to 5000!!! That’s impressive flying wow
The first time I went upsidedown with the intent of staying upsidedown, it hadn't occurred to me to hold my feet up against the floor, so my legs fell "up" and I kicked the bottom of the panel.
That's a great point. Most people never think about that. A lot of aerobatic pilots use a loose strap around their ankles to help support one's legs for high negative G maneuvers.
Scott, Kudos for gently initiating Steph to basic fun of acrobatic maneuvers. Who needs an amusement?
I was introduced to aerobatics in a Blanik
L13. Then later, a Pitts S-2.
World of difference 😁
Spinning an L13 is a lot of fun, except it is like a sin to give away all the altitude in a glider
@@michaeld9731 yep like spinning a Taylor craft
Except it's bit easier to regain altitude 😁
Pitts Special the only way to fly
Rapid eye movements...thought she was going to hurl!
That apprehensive?....verdict: not ready for what's about to occur. I looked forward to my first aerobatic lesson and the numerous ones that followed.
Your approach to landing is like a fighter pilot 😀
Yes, I do a curved approach all the time!
:o) You probably just created the next Patty Wagstaff. That looked like a lot of fun. The closest I've ever been to aerobatics is spin training in the might C150 and with an overzealous CFII that pitched up and rolled past 90 degrees during unusual attitude under the hood training. That was a long time ago :o)
Very cool video Scott and Steph! The multiple view replays very nice. Did I see airspeed in low 40’s at top of loop? Would you be close to stall at that point?
Well done, thank you.👍🏽👍🏽
Over the top you are ballistic. If I was pulling the airplane would have stalled... and that maneuver is called a Lomechevak. I don't do those in the Bonanza.
@@FlyWirescottperdue I just read up on the Lomechevak maneuvers. Very interesting and I wasn’t aware of the stresses on an aircraft while performing those. Thanks for that Scott.
altitude is potential energy - giving you both time and energy - high airspeed at low altitude is only energy minus the time - altitude although linear can be traded for forward velocity - Id rather have altitude - not trying to squabble - I think I may be missing your point - i enjoy the videos - waiting to see more about the sunk bonanza stories you are doing with Dan - interesting stuff - thanks
Go back to some of my previous 'Impossible Turn' videos. It's a physics thing altitude.. and we're talking not much altitude difference right after takeoff... is not as valuable as airspeed. It's a physics thing and physics is my background. Speed gives your greater inertia and therefore more time. Altitude doesn't do that for you. Try it in a safe environment.
@@FlyWirescottperdue - ok - I see what you are saying - airspeed is always king - but if I have altitude I also have energy ready to trade for airspeed - I always climb at Vy for that purpose - the impossible turn is exactly that -I verbalize when Im at an altitude where the turn back is available - Im always spring loaded in my brain at take off - push the nose down - head straight ahead - we are on the same page - thanks for the reply - I enjoy the content -
