      It's been inspiring to watch how fast you got things done since we worked together on this.
      I have to admit, when you beat me to IFR (after I had spent ~5 years slowly chipping away toward that rating), it kicked my butt in gear to finish it that year (ended up being Jan of 2020 that I finally got it; and I think I have you at least partially to thank for that :)

    • @FlightChops
      @FlightChops  3 года назад +26

      To everyone that is interested in entering to win the next one of these - the pandemic squashed plans for the short term, but stay tuned for when we announce the next one. This is definitely the sort of "giveaway" I intend to focus on in the future.

    The "experience" award could not have gone to a more deserving person. Hannah had me laughing so hard I was tearing up. The girl has no fear what so ever. The love of flying will be be with her for LIFE! What a girl! What a series! Thanks Flight Chops and all who was part of making this whole experience possible !!! AWESOME !!

  • @ArcticMayhem
    @ArcticMayhem 3 года назад +5

    Hearing people say "This was the best flight of my life" is the best part of being a CFI. I teach tailwheel and off airport operations in Alaska and always love taking people out of their comfort zone and giving them an adventure that they will remember forever.

    • @flywithhan
      @flywithhan 3 года назад +3

      Right?? Now that I instruct and I'm able to give experiences to people (not at the Luke level but still!) it's even more special to me. Took one of my private students in his first tailwheel ever the other week and it was very rewarding to share and pass it on!

  • @tizwicky

  • @3gtx
    @3gtx 3 года назад +8

    I don't comment on videos often. What a great feel-good video! I had a smile on my face the whole episode. Hannah seems so timid and outside her comfort zone before she got into the plane. The flight was truly outstanding but the best was her update afterwords. Here is a young lady who had experience and has taken advantage of that learning which has given her a new focus. The update showed what looked like newfound confidence and purpose. Right on Hannah! I often think that many people just fall into their profession. Really they experience something that gives them purpose and focus. We are all privileged to witness Hannah's "aha" moment and her infectious laugh of joy. What a prize she won. Steve for the ambassador of the flying community. Thanks, Steve always entertaining and educational.

  • @SmittySmithsonite
    @SmittySmithsonite 3 года назад +8

    This was AWESOME!! Steve, you couldn't have picked the more perfect winner for this one! Amazing what Hannah has accomplished since this was shot! You didn't just create a spark - you started a bonfire with gasoline!! Love how she went into it full-throttle, without hesitation - that goes for flying the Extra, to pursuing her dreams. Like I replied to Hannah's post, this is the most fun I've ever had watching someone fly! This one might be #1 out of everything you've shot - just plain (plane? :D) awesome! Thanks for sharing! Made my day!

  • @goatflieg
    @goatflieg 3 года назад +3

    This is one of those episodes that got rewound 20+ times to catch all the nuances. Suddenly the rudder cam was the best seat in the house; formation footage was spectacular. Hannah... What. A. PRO. She was born to fly, and proving it every day of her life. Amazing, impressive and wonderful. Must admit that I'd want to love the experience... and probably would... but I know I'd end up blacked out, sick and hurting. I'd have to work up to a flight like this very gradually. I just checked; Winnepeg is only a 17 hour drive... same as my drive to Wichita, so I know I could do it in one long day. When I do, I'll definitely be contacting Travel Manitoba... they deserve huge kudos for helping make this possible.

  • @YaGottaBeKidding
    @YaGottaBeKidding 3 года назад +4

    The 300L is one of the most fantastic flying machines ever created. The only "issue" I'd found is when you chute up, strap in, and find that the keys are still in your jeans pocket. That airplane is almost like it is wired into your brain, a perfect flying machine, albeit not the best IFR platform. However, since (in the USA) it is certificated for VFR-day only, that's not really an issue.

    Oh man, so many good vibes in these last two episodes! Last time, that sense of accomplishment and (humble) pride for being trusted the plane for a ride on their own, and this time the sheer joy and surprise of just discovering it all and even trying some of it out for themselves! I've thoroughly enjoyed both of these episodes.

If this vlog doesn't prove to all of us why we love aviation and what it felt like the first time we achieved the goal of flight , then I don't know what does.

Not only did you guys give her a really special opportunity, but she siezed it with both hands and it was a total joy to watch her soaking it up. I've been exposed to aeros in a less extreme aircraft and well know that it can be an uncomfortable and tiring experience, however exhilarating it may be. The video update at the end added the cherry on top of a real feelgood episode.
