In this episode we’re flying with the Yellow Birds over an event commemorating the Battle of Britain; It was not the best idea to take a first time passenger for a ~45 minute formation flight in slightly bumpy conditions - It was a distraction for me as the pilot, and I probably should have cut it short instead of finished the flight - Live and learn.
(P.S. Thank you for not #Barfing in the plane Al - You did great sticking it out for that whole flight :)

I am proud to be a member of the Canadian Aviation Museum (formerly CH2A). They are a not-for-profit organization that anybody can visit, and (almost) any pilot can join and fly the planes. Please consider sharing their link, visiting the museum in Windsor, and/or sending a small donation to help them keep our historic warbirds flying! https://www.canadianaviationmuseum.ca/

FLIGHT CHOPS DISCLAIMER:

I am a "weekend warrior" private pilot, I fly for fun with no intentions of going commercial. I have had my PPL for over 15 years, but still consider each flight a learning experience - I generally take detailed notes after each flight to remind myself what went well or what I could do to improve.... Having GoPro cameras to record flights like this is invaluable. I find these self analysis videos very helpful in my constant quest to improve, and am happy to share. Feedback is invited; however, please keep it positive.
