I think that one of the biggest problems with the aviation industry is the introduction that most people receive. I cringe at the thought of people taking their first flight in a crusty plane with a gross interior, and bolts falling to the earth as she flies. Help me hold our fellow pilots, and more importantly, our nation's flight schools to the highest standards possible. It's the only way to improve the state of general aviation in the years to come.

Hey, did you guys know that the FAA actually certifies flight instructors to tell you everything that I try to convey in these videos? You should definitely talk to one of them instead of trusting some video you found on the internet, because who am I to tell you how to fly? I'm just a pilot sharing my experiences with the world, and these videos are not meant to be instructional or advisory in any respect.
