I have to keep it real because I don't know how else to be, that's why you have to put up with all the ummms and arrgghhhs and my mistakes. I think it's important to show the day to day flying of an average PPL in the UK.
Terry I think many of us are fellow pilots and we watch your videos wen we can't fly ourselves. As one of my instructors said "learn from the mistakes of others as you won't live long enough to make them all yourself" so there is always something to be learned from your videos.
Amazing comment and so appreciate that you understand I share because I am an average pilot that makes average mistakes so that other average pilots don’t have to make the same. 🙏
Hi Terry, I’m the bloke who arranges the fly in at Heveningham and also I’m the AGCS. lovely to see this. I usually advise first timers to watch Jodel Flyers films about the arrival, but if it’s ok with you I’ll add this one too. It can get incredibly busy, the weather let us down this year, but I normally expect up to 110 movements per day. The airfield team all reckon this is the best weekend of their year. Next year is already planned, we’re just waiting on final date confirmation.
Thanks so much John. Perhaps next year I could get a look 'behind the scenes' as you setup for what has to be my favourite fly in of the year. You guys are amazing. Thanks again John.
I think people enjoy your videos because you come across as a genuinely nice guy. Your videos are interesting, and you show it all, the good and the bad. There’s an honesty and openness in your videos that appeals to people.
@@ShortFieldhaha your ‘umms and aarrrghhs’ are what make your channel such a breath of fresh air. There’s no manufactured drama, you’re open and honest, and that’s a very endearing thing. Oh and the camera views are fantastic as well, watching your contents is just a very pleasant way to spend a some time. Credit, where credit is due!
I find the videos interesting in ways other GA RUclips content isn't because it is all just about how GA can be fun and doesn't need to be anything else. There's no fake hype, you show the reasons people could and should fly GA. Trips like this and the ones to France etc are fantastic, just as much as the ones showing new and interesting places to visit that most people won't have heard of.
As an hourly aircraft renter, I like living vicariously through people who can use their airplane to go somewhere further, stay overnight, see the sights, fly somewehere else, etc etc. All my logbook entries practically start and end with the same aerodrome in Poland. I do a couple of touch and goes here and there and come back. There's not a huge amount of content of people touring Europe, comparing the differences between flying over various countries. I think the Flying Reporter went to Croatia once or something similar, but I didn't come across much more of that. No worries if that's not something you're interested in; the content centred around the UK is really entertaining as is
Alright, for Fark's Sake I'll make a comment. I like your video's as they are & how you produce them. Isn't that enough said? 1st Born generation 10 Pound Pom here, just do what you do man. I enjoy the video's & don't care what anyone else thinks of them. Cheers from Down Under & Thanks for the sign, wonder how many of them you sent out. That'd be a nice thing to hear..
I managed to get rid of them all (100) and not in the trash. I didn't charge a penny for any postage although everyone offered and they went all over the world. I was humbled and honoured that anyone would even use them. So glad you got it that's a long way for a piece of card :-) Thanks as always for the watch and great comment for fark's sake, brilliant :-)
@@ShortField Ha ha you're welcome. Awesome you got all of them sent out & glad I was able to get one from you, would have happily paid for the freight! Cheers.
Thanks for another great video. What I like about your videos are that you are always calm, even though we all know flying can be very busy and frustrating at times. You also have a lot of fun wherever you go. You have inspired my desire to fly again
I think everyone has previously echoed my thoughts Terry, but please be assured that your flight videos are well appreciated by all, whether pilots, trainees or none of the above. You simply project a down-to-earth, friendly realism without unnecessary frills or gimmicks, complete with great camera angles where applicable and that’s what we want as aircraft and flying enthusiasts. Many thanks. Will keep a look out for new output, as and when.
Terry, great videos. I found you this weekend. As a US pilot, I love all historical sites you visit. Your editing is very good. As others have said. Love the realism. And we all make a cock up on the radio every now and then
I agree with what people have already said about why we like your videos, you're easy to listen to, honest and open, you can't ask more that that. I'd certainly be interested if you made a video on the costs of flying.
Bloody weather! 😬 I love the fact that you go to places I don’t even know… like this one 🤷♂️ That and your unique, honest style makes for an enjoyable, entertaining watch,Terry. Keep ‘em coming! 👌👍
I really enjoy your videos Terry. In their own right they are nicely complete stories, a decent length, and are always so informative. As a student pilot (from North Weald) I really appreciate how you add the 'theory' elements which are particularly pertinent to me right now, but even if I wasn't a student pilot it adds a fascinating dimension to the rules and regulations and how they apply to GA. I'm also living vicariously through your videos as I can't wait to get out there and fly under my own license one day!
I'm here for the same reasons: enjoyable scenery, learn a few tips about flying, pick up some local geography trivia, see how the SportCruiser works, and have some of your enthusiasm for general aviation rub off! This episode had a hidden bonus for me: a clear shot of the village I grew up in (Stisted, near Earls Colne)!
It's good to see you nattering to us in route Terry. I hope you get your aircraft back in the air soon. I've been busy flying :) so only just managed to catch up with you. More inflight chats with Terry, an inflight Q&A ;)
I think it comes down to your personality. Yes, your videos are clearly structured and have a plot. But what makes the difference for me is: first you seem like a genuine, smart and nice guy, Someone I’d like to have a beer with. Second, you show the ambiguity in flying. Some things frighten you and you get across the respect you have for the dangers involved, but you also have a reassuring, skilled coolness in dealing with them. Just keep doing what you do. Cheers mate!
13:20 eating chips with a fork!?🤣well I just use my hands hahah, Great video mate, love watching you and the sport cruiser go out on adventures like this
As an English born, Canadian raised ATP and hobby pilot your videos let me imagine the flying life that might have been had my parents not emigrated all those years ago. I hope to visit some of the fields you profile during my next visit “home” 😊
Thanks Geoff, I don't know about that, I do enjoy the process though and it makes me think about flying to interesting places. As a fellow 'tuber' you know how much a nice comment means. Cheers and we need to meet up soon.
Your videos are top notch interesting and fun to watch! You could make them even more fun and exciting by doing acrobatics inside the cockpit whilst performing sneaky aerobatic manoeuvres. Like a cross legged handstand on the seat whilst doing a barrel roll on final approach.
Weather has been SHOCKING this summer, fingers crossed for a better autumn. How cool is that to land at an airfield that's only open 2 days a year. Loved this one.
I really enjoy your videos both as inspiration and because of the quite thorough flight planning that you explain in a really accessible way. As a student pilot I feel like I always learn something - especially because you show mistakes as well.
The stories you tell are great! Your way of telling us what's your doing is what we enjoy. Just be yourself as we watch you and the plane. Keep them coming. Super enjoy how you deliver these flights .. Sport Pilot (AUST) :)
I like watching because you are chilled, there is a mixture of footage and explanations. Building an RV 12, I like to think I might be doing the same in about 5 years
I like seeing these short trips you do, and places you can visit for a day out in a plane. I suppose a lot of non-flyers would think you only use it for long cross country trips with family. I'm not a pilot myself, well only the model ones, but I enjoy watching you fly. Maybe one day I'll get my licence. But as you mentioned you might do costs at some point, it's the one thing prohibiting me from starting, so I'd be interested to watch that one.
Love watching the videos because I’m new to flying and to see what’s possible. What prep needs to be done real life errors that we ALL make. And what we do about them. So yes more details on planning, G/ controlled airspace, weight and balance (do yih do this every flight?) example of using the software. Show us the sport cruiser controls and differences to Cessna Pipers you’ve flown before. On route visual references , all aspects. I really respect that you are not an instructor but willing to share your experience is so generous! Thank you, don’t stop. JG
Terry, entertaining as always. I flew from Cromer to Great Oakley last year and went straight over the hall and wondered about its clearly marked runway then. Question answered! Good also to see G-TECC, Nic O does get around to many events. I enjoy the real life warts / errors and all (although the RT sounds pretty good to me much of the time). Trips like new locations, comparing with simulators, overseas trips etc are always entertaining and useful start points for reference and inspiration. Long may they continue.
You wonder why a person might watch your videos: I have been flying since the 80s, put don't have a plane at this time. I enjoy looking at the countryside as you fly along, as well as the landings and take offs. Planes I have been looking at lately would be right at home on a grass strip, so I am interested in watching how you deal with that. I live in far northern California, and there are not many grass strips that I know off. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us.
I really enjoyed your video. Nicely edited and the b roll with maps etc really help with situational awareness. As a very new RUclipsr I also am conscious of the question , will people just want to watch the “I flew from A to B” type content and I think the answer is that aviation enthusiasts are quite happy to follow you on your journey so please don’t worry too much about being creative, just keep posting. 👍
Another great video, you always put out enjoyable content and the videos are very well edited. The graphics are a brilliant addition and you give a really good insight into the planning and skill required to fly into short strips. Having met you in Le Touquet a couple of months ago, I can also confirm you are as nice in person as you seem in the videos! Keep up the good work and we will keep watching.
Really enjoy the videos. As training for PPL it’s good to be constantly reminded of all the safety elements of the flight. I’ve picked up some really useful tips along the way too.
Although booked in on both days I went to Monewden on the Saturday and was put of going on the Sunday due to the weather. Excellent video as usual Terry and some great and well deserved comments. 👍😎
I have enjoyed all of your videos and I like your honesty and willingness to admit mistakes. I do like when you cover a particular aviation topic e.g. the one about flying VFR on top, I have re-watched it a few times now.
Your videos are always interesting and informative, I like the way you deal with different weather situations, and always great to hear RT, and yes we all get it mixed up occasionally 😂, the cockpit is a busy place with lots going on. Keep em coming 👍
Another cracking video Terry. Keep them coming! I cycle past Andrewsfield quite often on my return from Finchingfield. One day I may catch you in the cafe (if it's still open to the general public) 😊
Hi, love your videos. I have watched a few of them, love anything to do with light aircraft. (not a pilot myself but first thing on my lottery win list) Particularly liked this one as I attend this show living only a couple of miles up the road at Halesworth. 👍
Love the stories, the fun, the aviation. Its because aviators like you that i conquered my fear of planes and became an avgeek. They say once you've tasted flight you never go back; and i agree. Your videos give away the magic of aviation
Bit late to this Terry, apologies (holidays!) - good to see a fellow GolfFoxtrot22 mug owner 🤣We're a rare and privileged few 🤣 Why do we watch? Because you are a nice guy, talented at creating interesting videos that are a pleasure to watch 😁
Terry, great content. Keep doing what you're doing. Would be good to see the route planning stuff too, like W&B, how much fuel, plan A,B,C,D. Avoiding CTZ or get zone permissions? Not for every single flight, as not all are interested, but for leisure PPL, very useful.
Love your videos as a newbie pilot who passed GST in 2018 you give inspiration and good advice. Checklist is good because checklists and geek stuff is relevant to new pilots.
Always interesting content Terry, and for me on the other side of the world it's always interesting watching flying in another country, and seeing the places you visit.👌
That looked like a great fly in, I bet you had a great afternoon. Thanks for sharing this, lucky for us you managed to borrow an aircraft. A flying costs video would be interesting for us, it might be scary for you.!!!!!!!
Answering why i watch - i rarely get time to play flight sim, let alone get a licence or afford the costs. It's great just riding along wherever you go, always an experience whether things go bad or good.
I'm watching because it's a way of flying vicariously, as I've had some experience of flying in light aircraft and gliders (limited training in both 40 years ago) but don't fly myself. Also the production quality is very good, you have a friendly and relaxed presenting style and for a change this is not a US flying video.
Love watching these as like how your very down to earth and always add in bits about the venue you visit etc , love seeing things from the air aswell , be great if you could do some over Lincolnshire with our rich raf heritage , aware of wickenby airfield allowing small planes in and that has a good setup , always wanted to have a fly in a small plane over the city I live in aswell over the fantastic castle and cathedral area Steve from Lincoln
Hi Terry. I'm not a pilot yet but I'm very much hoping to get a qualification in the next couple of years. I value your videos because you show "warts and all". Also, i get an insight into ATC and other RT which i guess will be very important in my training. Please keep up the good work. Cheers Greg
Although the video is calm and relaxing the slightly bad weather made me pretty anxious lol I would have loved to see more of that Spitfire airshow, it looked awesome! I also would have loved to see the landing at the end of the return trip Note: I think RUclips recommended me this video because I watched some Flight Simulator videos recently. I watched this eating oval beans (don't know the word in English but I think it's pretty obvious) and ham. Randomly. Made for a nice viewing. Pretty landscape. But still a little anxious lol
Hi Terry, yours are easy videos to watch, great content, nicely paced and well edited. Thank you. Content suggestions from me (as someone whose experience of SEP is limited to Cessnas, Pipers and the like) would be something in depth about the Sportcruiser and its avionics, and costs. Cheers.
I watch your videos because you always do something unusual/uncommon and fly to cool, small, local unpaved strips which is something I love but didn’t get to do much of while doing my flight training in Spain
I was flying on Friday and thought I heard you on the radio! I think I was doing an RNAV approach into Cranfield at the time, I was almost sure I heard G-PY as well.
Another cracking video Terry an interesting place and scenario. The nearest we had to that - although the runway is permanent - is Badminton, but I don't think they have fly-ins now due to an accident in the past. I met, the quiet but charming, Gary Numan there in the past too (1980s). I've flown in once since, a cheeky sideslip approach 😄😄✌️👍 It would be interesting to see how your costs compare with 3A FW microlights and the new 600kg categories etc. Eg fuel burn on an EV97 would be about 3.5-4 gallons of Mogas an hour? Keep up the good work 👍😊✌️💜
Hello - I live in Epping so hopefully I've seen you fly over my house! I regularly visit North Weald to gape at the historic jets and World War 2 vintage aircraft. I'll wave if I see you!
Love your channel am heading back to the Uk this year might pop in at your field. * I am a commercial pilot in Africa and we fly off some very short and dodgy strips would love to send you some footage of what we do this side
As always a lovely video - and what a great place! Am curious though - watching your pre-take off actions, do you also include a full pre-take off brief? This is something I now do every time, but I never used to, probably not until I did my full IR, when my instructor drilled it into me. It kind of spring loads you for any trouble should it occur and keeps the vital actions fresh in the brain. Btw never wonder why people like your stuff. It's bloody good!
I like the take offs and landings, you discussing your thinking about them. In Australia if I flew around the multi cloud layers including rain, I would be thrown around a lot more than you seem to be? I'm at latitude 34 degrees south maybe there is more energy in the thermals here?
I know what you mean about not being able to use your aircraft, mine is having major maintenance atm. There's another plane I could fly but I want to fly mine! 😉 As far as why people watch your video and others like it - when you can't fly yourself, you have to do it vicariously 😆
Hi Terry interesting location. Must get there next year. Still waiting for you to visit us at Pear Tree Farm Marsh Gibbon. When do you want to drop in?
Just found your channel and binged a fair few of them. Love the style, and great information. Would love to get into flying and would be great to see how you go about it, with costs what it costs in the UK (have watched a fair few US private pilots/bush pilots) and seems it’s more expensive and possibly harder here in the UK than it is out there.
Where did you get those bose A20 head sets? And I watch your videos because I am interested in gaining my PPL and your videos are a major help! Plus I love GA more the commercial.
Love it that you prefer GA. Brought the A20's a few years ago, think they were £1k but I got a discount at a show. I did a video on how they keep their money.
Never wonder if you're doing it right, because if you do, you'll probably start doing it wrong. I like YOU. The content is interesting, too, of course, but I'm not a practicing pilot, and hardly ever was. The overall feel of all your videos, is remarkably pleasant, and gently engaging. Whatever it is, that makes an endeavor a success, you've got it (:> "An 'at voice? Wew, it takes me back ta me daze in Essix, as a boi!"
I like your videos because you're down to earth and you don't put on a fake image of how a pilot should be like like most social media pilots.
I have to keep it real because I don't know how else to be, that's why you have to put up with all the ummms and arrgghhhs and my mistakes. I think it's important to show the day to day flying of an average PPL in the UK.
I can only second that. gj Mr ShortField :)
Terry I think many of us are fellow pilots and we watch your videos wen we can't fly ourselves. As one of my instructors said "learn from the mistakes of others as you won't live long enough to make them all yourself" so there is always something to be learned from your videos.

Planes I have been looking at lately would be right at home on a grass strip, so I am interested in watching how you deal with that. I live in far northern California, and there are not many grass strips that I know off. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us.
Thank you so much for the very kind feedback.
I really enjoyed your video. Nicely edited and the b roll with maps etc really help with situational awareness. As a very new RUclipsr I also am conscious of the question , will people just want to watch the “I flew from A to B” type content and I think the answer is that aviation enthusiasts are quite happy to follow you on your journey so please don’t worry too much about being creative, just keep posting. 👍
Awesome, thank you so much Paul!
Another great video, you always put out enjoyable content and the videos are very well edited. The graphics are a brilliant addition and you give a really good insight into the planning and skill required to fly into short strips. Having met you in Le Touquet a couple of months ago, I can also confirm you are as nice in person as you seem in the videos! Keep up the good work and we will keep watching.
Thank you so much for the kind comment.
was just about to find a video to watch and you uploaded! 👍🏻👍🏻
Perfect! Thanks Josh.
Really enjoy the videos. As training for PPL it’s good to be constantly reminded of all the safety elements of the flight. I’ve picked up some really useful tips along the way too.
Thanks Bob
When ever I want to go long distance or a day trip I always worry about weather changes and getting stranded. Great videos by the way 🙂
So appreciated just checked out your great channel love it.
I like that you landed somewhere a bit different!
Thank you
Although booked in on both days I went to Monewden on the Saturday and was put of going on the Sunday due to the weather. Excellent video as usual Terry and some great and well deserved comments. 👍😎
And we missed you Tim.
@@johnhill8529Very sorry John. Always enjoy the event but made the wrong weather call perhaps? Book me in for next year please!
Such a late reply as I've been away. Thanks for the kind comments Tim.
I have enjoyed all of your videos and I like your honesty and willingness to admit mistakes. I do like when you cover a particular aviation topic e.g. the one about flying VFR on top, I have re-watched it a few times now.
Cheers Reg.
Your videos are always interesting and informative, I like the way you deal with different weather situations, and always great to hear RT, and yes we all get it mixed up occasionally 😂, the cockpit is a busy place with lots going on. Keep em coming 👍
Awesome Dave thanks for the kind comment mate, we need to get together again soon.
I love your videos because I’ve just started flying cross country and in interested in both the planning and the flying.
Love the ww2 airfield visits and fly overs made better by your commentary cheers
Please don't concern yourself with what we punters like. Your instincts are great! Most enjoyable because it is clear your are enjoying yourself.
Another cracking video Terry. Keep them coming! I cycle past Andrewsfield quite often on my return from Finchingfield. One day I may catch you in the cafe (if it's still open to the general public) 😊
Deffo if you see me come and say Hi Martyn.
I bet you were glad you nailed that landing after the fudged up radio call. I bet they were watching you all the way lol. Well executed anyways
lol cheers Jeremy
Great Video as always, Can't wait to get some flying in the uk done. Love the vids keep up the good work
Thank you so much for the kind comment.
Hi, love your videos. I have watched a few of them, love anything to do with light aircraft. (not a pilot myself but first thing on my lottery win list) Particularly liked this one as I attend this show living only a couple of miles up the road at Halesworth. 👍
Thank you so much for the kind comment.
Love the stories, the fun, the aviation. Its because aviators like you that i conquered my fear of planes and became an avgeek. They say once you've tasted flight you never go back; and i agree. Your videos give away the magic of aviation
Thank you so much.
Bit late to this Terry, apologies (holidays!) - good to see a fellow GolfFoxtrot22 mug owner 🤣We're a rare and privileged few 🤣 Why do we watch? Because you are a nice guy, talented at creating interesting videos that are a pleasure to watch 😁
Sorry Mike I missed this. I have to let you into a little secret though, it was empty just used it for product placement :-) We are special :-)
Terry, great content. Keep doing what you're doing.
Would be good to see the route planning stuff too, like W&B, how much fuel, plan A,B,C,D. Avoiding CTZ or get zone permissions?
Not for every single flight, as not all are interested, but for leisure PPL, very useful.
Love your videos as a newbie pilot who passed GST in 2018 you give inspiration and good advice. Checklist is good because checklists and geek stuff is relevant to new pilots.
Thank you.
Always interesting content Terry, and for me on the other side of the world it's always interesting watching flying in another country, and seeing the places you visit.👌
Thank you so much for the kind comment.
and also about your question about content. anything is good its really interesting as a PPL student it shows the wider spectrum of GA
OK I'll carry on just needed reassurance that you're OK with these type of videos, not just the 'I cocked up' ones :-)
@@ShortField any are good. even the ones where you cock up. it shows us the mistakes and how to avoid it
That looked like a great fly in, I bet you had a great afternoon. Thanks for sharing this, lucky for us you managed to borrow an aircraft. A flying costs video would be interesting for us, it might be scary for you.!!!!!!!
Can't let my wife see that one though :-)
@@ShortField LOL
Answering why i watch - i rarely get time to play flight sim, let alone get a licence or afford the costs. It's great just riding along wherever you go, always an experience whether things go bad or good.
Thank you so much for the kind comment.
I'm watching because it's a way of flying vicariously, as I've had some experience of flying in light aircraft and gliders (limited training in both 40 years ago) but don't fly myself. Also the production quality is very good, you have a friendly and relaxed presenting style and for a change this is not a US flying video.
Thank you so much for the kind comment.
Love watching these as like how your very down to earth and always add in bits about the venue you visit etc , love seeing things from the air aswell , be great if you could do some over Lincolnshire with our rich raf heritage , aware of wickenby airfield allowing small planes in and that has a good setup , always wanted to have a fly in a small plane over the city I live in aswell over the fantastic castle and cathedral area
Steve from Lincoln
Nice work, great videos ;)
Thank you so much for the kind comment.
Hi Terry. I'm not a pilot yet but I'm very much hoping to get a qualification in the next couple of years. I value your videos because you show "warts and all". Also, i get an insight into ATC and other RT which i guess will be very important in my training. Please keep up the good work. Cheers Greg
Thanks Greg.
👍
Although the video is calm and relaxing the slightly bad weather made me pretty anxious lol
I would have loved to see more of that Spitfire airshow, it looked awesome!
I also would have loved to see the landing at the end of the return trip
Note: I think RUclips recommended me this video because I watched some Flight Simulator videos recently. I watched this eating oval beans (don't know the word in English but I think it's pretty obvious) and ham. Randomly. Made for a nice viewing. Pretty landscape. But still a little anxious lol
I love MSFS2020.
Hi Terry, yours are easy videos to watch, great content, nicely paced and well edited. Thank you. Content suggestions from me (as someone whose experience of SEP is limited to Cessnas, Pipers and the like) would be something in depth about the Sportcruiser and its avionics, and costs. Cheers.
Thank you so much for the kind comment.
Great vid😊
I watch your videos because you always do something unusual/uncommon and fly to cool, small, local unpaved strips which is something I love but didn’t get to do much of while doing my flight training in Spain
Thank you so much for the kind comment.
The weather has been rubbish. I am about 20hrs behind my norm for this time of year. I will make it to that field one year. Good video.
I was flying on Friday and thought I heard you on the radio! I think I was doing an RNAV approach into Cranfield at the time, I was almost sure I heard G-PY as well.
Good one, you doing an IR? Not sure if Vince was flying but I deffo wasn't.
@@ShortField Ah okay, yea working on an MEIR addon for my CPL atm.
Another cracking video Terry an interesting place and scenario.
The nearest we had to that - although the runway is permanent - is Badminton, but I don't think they have fly-ins now due to an accident in the past. I met, the quiet but charming, Gary Numan there in the past too (1980s). I've flown in once since, a cheeky sideslip approach 😄😄✌️👍
It would be interesting to see how your costs compare with 3A FW microlights and the new 600kg categories etc. Eg fuel burn on an EV97 would be about 3.5-4 gallons of Mogas an hour?
Keep up the good work 👍😊✌️💜
Love Gary N and been to Badminton but really expensive landing fee.
@@ShortField GN is a nice guy. I had heard Badminton was expensive now😳😲😕
Hello - I live in Epping so hopefully I've seen you fly over my house! I regularly visit North Weald to gape at the historic jets and World War 2 vintage aircraft. I'll wave if I see you!
I will wave back sir.
Love your channel am heading back to the Uk this year might pop in at your field. * I am a commercial pilot in Africa and we fly off some very short and dodgy strips would love to send you some footage of what we do this side
Sorry for late reply, wow if you do ping me an email (in the about section).
As always a lovely video - and what a great place! Am curious though - watching your pre-take off actions, do you also include a full pre-take off brief? This is something I now do every time, but I never used to, probably not until I did my full IR, when my instructor drilled it into me. It kind of spring loads you for any trouble should it occur and keeps the vital actions fresh in the brain. Btw never wonder why people like your stuff. It's bloody good!
Sometimes I do do that but usually only on short stuff, good habit though. Thank you so much for the kind comments as well Stephen.
Nice
I like the take offs and landings, you discussing your thinking about them. In Australia if I flew around the multi cloud layers including rain, I would be thrown around a lot more than you seem to be? I'm at latitude 34 degrees south maybe there is more energy in the thermals here?
Yes UK does get thermic in the summer but this day was pretty benign.
I know what you mean about not being able to use your aircraft, mine is having major maintenance atm. There's another plane I could fly but I want to fly mine! 😉 As far as why people watch your video and others like it - when you can't fly yourself, you have to do it vicariously 😆
So depressing, sorry for late reply.
Hi Terry interesting location. Must get there next year. Still waiting for you to visit us at Pear Tree Farm Marsh Gibbon. When do you want to drop in?
I will deffo come and say hi Marce thank you sir.
I would imagine a lot of Microsoft flight simmers watch your videos to see how GA flying is done
I hope so I love MSFS
Just found your channel and binged a fair few of them. Love the style, and great information. Would love to get into flying and would be great to see how you go about it, with costs what it costs in the UK (have watched a fair few US private pilots/bush pilots) and seems it’s more expensive and possibly harder here in the UK than it is out there.
Awesome, thank you James! I would say cost wise about the same as owning a reasonable nice car.
where do you normally park Charlie Zulu at North Weald , I go there every week. Just noticed its now parked at Andrews field
Sorry for late reply CZ is at Andrewsfield.
Would love a video on costs.
It will be done sir.
Where did you get those bose A20 head sets? And I watch your videos because I am interested in gaining my PPL and your videos are a major help! Plus I love GA more the commercial.
Love it that you prefer GA. Brought the A20's a few years ago, think they were £1k but I got a discount at a show. I did a video on how they keep their money.
CAA gonna be sitting with a speed gun at that airport cafe.
lol
Never wonder if you're doing it right, because if you do, you'll probably start doing it wrong.
I like YOU. The content is interesting, too, of course, but I'm not a practicing pilot, and hardly ever was.
The overall feel of all your videos, is remarkably pleasant, and gently engaging. Whatever it is, that makes an endeavor a success, you've got it (:>
"An 'at voice? Wew, it takes me back ta me daze in Essix, as a boi!"
Thank you so much for the kind comment. Awesome comment so sorry for the late reply.
@@ShortField Thank you!
great video terry! whats wrong with your plane?
I will reveal soon I promise. Thank you for the kind comment.
I notice G-OOPY doesn't have an AP. Do you miss it when you're flying it, instead of Charlie Zulu with the AP74?
Thanks for a great video. My only suggestion is to not move from one csmera to the other so quickly
Note taken thank you.
👍
