    Personally I enjoy seeing you fly to different airports, watching the process, listening to the calls, seeing the aerodrome and approach from above. I would say most of your subscribers aren't here specifically to see go-arounds, close calls, or "wishing I was on the ground" moments. I'm a pilot, live in Victoria and enjoy watching your "uneventful" flights to cool locations, I also find the what to do when you arrive and how you get from the airport to the final destination interesting.

A good way of remembering the significance of recording your videos is that you're taking your viewers on a journey that allows them to escape the mundane lives that they may be living. We're from all around the world and, for the vast majority of us, the sights that we see through your camera's lens are new and interesting to us. 🙂

    As someone who has only been flying for a year and has a recreational pilot certificate, the run of the mill stuff you do like using your garmin, IFR, communication with control is really interesting to see and gives me a bit of an idea of what I'm in for in time to come.

    I don't have plans to become a pilot, way too old, but I do enjoy watching your "ordinary" flights. They're interesting to someone where flying isn't the norm. I find them relaxing, and thoroughly informative. The little info about how the tech helps you monitor changing height from 4500 to 8000 is fascinating to someone who doesn't usually have exposure to that tech. Keep it up! (and it was lovely to see your flights around the UK - wasn't too far from me here in Dover).

The very fact that we can risk our life in a tin can with a computer dictating where we go to stop running into anyone is an adventure in itself!!
