All four pilots, Bryan Turner, Martin Pauly, Carl Hancock and myself were in Fort Worth, Texas to film the "In the Hangar" YouTube aviation show and decided to take a breakfast flight in Martin's Beechcraft A36 Bonanza from Denton (KDTO) to Hicks (T67). All four of us edited different versions of the flight for our respective channels. You can see the other versions on their YT channels. It was a cool social media experiment!

Can anything be done? In the video I explain how it's not too late to make your voice heard. Pilots and the aviation community must be pro-active in saving our airports. Once they are gone, they are never coming back. SAVE STOVEPIPE!!!

Wolficorn merchandise: wolficorn-2.creator-spring.comWeird History: The Burro Schmidt TunnelWolficorn2021-01-21 | Called one of the greatest one-man engineering feats of all time, the Burro Schmidt Tunnel was the lifetime work of an isolated man living in the Mojave Desert of California. The story of Burro Schmidt is a weird yet fascinating chapter in California history. In this video, I go into the tunnel and try to gain insight into why Burro Schmidt dedicated his lifetime for this endeavor.
Burro Schmidt started making his tunnel in 1906 with nothing more than a pick axe, shovel and occasional stick of dynamite. 32 years and 2,500 feet later, he came out the back side of Copper Mountain in 1938. The purpose of the tunnel is generally understood to have been a shortcut for Schmidt to transport his ore down to the desert, but logic doesn't seem to agree with that theory. Whatever the reason was, Schmidt abandoned the site after he finished, without ever using it as a shortcut.

We traveled to the tiny town of Moose Pass, on the Kenai peninsula, to get our seaplane rating and explore the wild backcountry of Alaska.
The adventure begins by flying into Anchorage, Alaska and visiting Lake Hood, the world's largest seaplane airport. After that, we travel down the Seward Highway, stopping at the Alyeska ski resort along the way to watch paragliders. We train for our seaplane rating in the small town of Moose Pass at Alaska Float Ratings, run by Vern Kingsford. We train on 150 horsepower Piper Super Cub floatplanes. After a few days of breathtaking flying in the Alaska backcountry, we earn our seaplane rating and become seaplane pilots.
After that we explore the Kenai peninsula. There we find glaciers, rivers and spectacular ocean vistas.
If you are a pilot looking for a new rating and new adventure, I highly recommend you look up Alaska Float Ratings in Moose Pass. It's a memory that will last a lifetime.

In this video, in coordination with air traffic control (ATC), I fly a dramatic low approach in my Grumman Tiger over the closed runway that is currently home for over 400 unused jets. After that, we fly over the peak bloom of the Antelope Valley poppy fields to see an explosion of color in the Mojave Desert.
Background: Global airline travel has been dramatically affected as a result of the corona virus and as a result, the airlines have been temporarily storing their fleet at select locations to wait out the current crisis. Southern California Logistics Airport (KVCV) in Victorville, California is one of the primary storage depots for Delta, Southwest and FedEx. It is also one of the largest airplane boneyards in the USA. ComAv is the company that stores and manages these aircraft. It is home to dozens of Boeing 737 Max jets as a result of their recall in 2019. In addition, you can find many other jets, including Boeing 747, 757, and 767 aircraft. There are also Airbus A310, A320 and McDonnell-Douglas MD-10 and MD-11 aircraft. KVCV was recently also the home for the next generation Air Force One Boeing 747-8 jets.
SuperBloom Every spring in the deserts of Southern California, many colorful flowers bloom and present an amazing display across the desolate and rugged landscapes. While usually an extremely popular location for selfies, many of these locations are closed down because of the corona virus and unable to be seen by many.
I want to give a big shout out to the tower controllers at KVCV that were kind enough to let me do a flyover on the closed runway to see all the airplanes.
