    This is why I want to get my pilot's license. I've spent my whole life on the ground and I've seen some incredible landscapes. I bet they would look even better from the sky. I took my first discovery flight a couple months ago, and I've been itching to go flying again ever since.

So many commenting about the word "like". Who cares. She was excited and bubby and lots of fun ! I would have her onboard anytime. Spectacular video all around Josh......

    Wonderful. I flew a Cherokee 140 over to Catalina a number of times but my flight instructor did not want me to land there until I had more air time. Thanks for showing me what I missed. I still have receipts for my flight instruction which cost at the time $11.00 an hour for the aircraft rental (wet) and the instructor was $5.00 an hour. Name that year? It was 1965 and the minimum wage I am guessing was $1.50 an hour. So yes, I am an old dude.

I loved the chemistry that you and alisha have. It made the video super enjoyable. Im a private pilot and I took alot of great pointers. Cant wait to take my cirrus there. Thank you for the inspiration and again thanks to Alisha as well.

But after seeing your videos it has illuminated the discipline and wonder of it all. I'm definitely thinking about learning to fly again, but even just watching these videos is fascinating. I admire your discipline and attention to safety. Keep it up (Ha!) and I wish you well!

    @williamsykes9612 4 года назад

    Thanks for the memories! I worked both ends of the island in the seventies (Avalon and isthmus). When at the isthmus (Two Harbors) we would drive to Avalon for supplies weekly and I got to see the diversity of the island. I would have to walk though a herd of buffalo some mornings to get to work. It was amazing. To go to the mainland I would board a Grumman Goose that took off and landed on the west side of Two Harbors. Sometimes I would sit next to the pilot and be mesmerized by all the cranks he was turning for the gear and trims. They used to fly out of Long Beach or San Pedro and it was always a fun trip. Now I fly helicopters in the Gulf of Mexico and the scenery is not nearly as good. Just iron islands sticking out of the water.

Completely unreal experience.On one side the ocean and its Abyss; On the other side city lights as far as your eyes can see, then directly below planes popping through colorful fog, thanks to the runway and taxiway lights, Something worth seeing...
