Flying is so fun. MY FIRST SOLO!

 

[PON3]

I heard first drop loves to fly planes.

 

[The_Big_Tuna]

That really looks like a fuck ton of fun.

I still want to try squirrel suiting.

 

[Dustin.]

You should put in a couple hundred jumps before you wingsuit. Since you call it squirrel suiting I think you have 0, haha.

 

[KEVTRON]

you didnt yell "CLEAR" before you started that badboy up.

 

[Mr.Capone]

Haha good catch, someone knows their 152 checklist. I did but this video starts basically just after that.

 

[DrZoidberg]

Anybody else lol at the gas station that's very similar to a car one? I did not think they were like that for small planes.

 

[7springsprod]

All prop planes have this step in the checklist. Pretty self explanatory if you ask me. But yeah I would start a recording after priming because every 150 I have floen, priming is a BITCH. It takes so much force to pull it out and push ban in while making a horrendous noise. Haha

 

[corona]

I had a good chuckle about that

 

[canterbury]

cool! what airport was that? I've never seen self serve fuel pumps like that either

 

[7springsprod]

Canterbury where do you fly? I think it would be pretty damn awesome this summer if a bunch of pilots from NS could arrange to all fly somewhere or something.

 

[corona]

you can get your heli license and take bunch of NSrs heli skiing!

 

[canterbury]

I live and fly out of way up in Yellowknife, NT, Canada. My Dad flies out of Vernon, BC (I go up with him when I come back to visit). That would be awesome, though unlikely for me as I'll be pretty busy with work this summer.

 

[7springsprod]

Good lord your up north.. Are you planning on making flying a career?

 

[canterbury]

yep, don't want to jack OP's thread though (see other flying thread for more info that I've posted https://www.newschoolers.com/ns/forums/readthread/thread_id/672887/page/2/ )

 

[DaffyDaDak]

Fact: Cheese is the most stolen food in the world

 

[Mr.Capone]

This is fro

 

[SkiTheYeast]

That landing looked text book!

 

[Mr.Capone]

I hate mobile. This is from Paine field, Everett, WA. The self serve gas pumps there are awesome

 

[canterbury]

way better than having to call the fuel guy and waiting 30 mins for him to come fuel ya

 

[812]

that was my first thought hahaha

 

[theabortionator]

Take me skydiving then?

I don't have any of the proper training but I bought a rig at the salvation army, I'm jonesin to try it out.

 

[canterbury]

that's unfortunately quite illegal unless your pilot has the proper operating certificates.

 

[Mr.Capone]

Thanks man!

 

[LivinOuttaBounZ]

Actually according to the FAA's technical standard order only the jumper needs to be licensed. The pilot, as long as he/she is a pilot, only needs to wear a pilot rig on any flight where jumpers exit the aircraft. And thats only if there is no bulkhead.

 

[canterbury]

wow, that's way less strict that in Canada

[saskskierftw]

Beautiful video. I'm mad jealous.

 

[theabortionator]

Are you gonna tell on me?

 

[ECB]

I was flying yesterday, cruising along right at a ground speed of 115 or so (nice wind) when below me I see a plane.....I don't hear anything on the radio, and then BOOM the thing starts spinning and flipping

And I just kept going straight

Damn stunt planes

 

[Craze]

Nice edit, its been way to damn windy around here to fly the past couple days im hoping it calms down tomorrow.

 

[canterbury]

nope, just an fyi for if you venture up north and try to jump out of a plane.

 

[Mr.Capone]

Weird. Seems like he should have self announced that to the traffic in the area. On the way back from this flight I heard a guy on the radio who was low over some tulip fields and another guy almost hit him. He was pretty pissed to say the least.

 

[Funnel]

I really want to acquire my PPL someday. Definitely on my list of things to do.
