I spent a day with some L39 pilots documenting their flight through Star Wars Canyon. I made a short film about the experience. Hope you enjoy it.

Once you fly in the Cherokee 6 with the middle row removed you'll never want to go back. Rear passengers can stretch their legs fully and you can take so much stuff. I take 4 people plus my mountain bike and all their bags for a week vacation. It's going to be REALLY TOUGH to downsize in the...
The pilot needed to alter his speed because he’s not going to land at 140 Knots. He needs to slow down to land anyway. Airplanes of similar speeds both on final separated by 2 miles is not really a problem.
Yep. And that 152 had a much longer final in distance, was much slower with a much larger difference in speeds due to significantly disparate aircraft types.
I agree to not take the position announcement call for granted. In this case cirrus pilot said he was on short final while 2 miles out, which we saw both on the ADSB on Foreflight and better yet, visually.
I don’t think the math works out for him to hit us even keeping his speed up. He’s 2 miles behind us and we are almost over the threshold. I think him erroneously calling “short final” and complaining makes it seem way closer than it was. Extending downwind is also a good idea and something...
Glad there is discussion around this, which was the intention of publishing the situation. Some assumptions and misinformation floating around- I should have made more clear in the video. There was at least 2 miles between us and the Cirrus. He couldn’t have hit us if he tried unless he would...
Surprisingly no! I made a video about that incident. It was pretty nerve-wracking. Nothing fell out- I was only 5 miles from home base and it required only one turn to get lined up with the runway.
Thanks.
I got the license at film school where we learn sometimes it's more important to...
I posted this in some FB groups but thought y'all would enjoy as well. It sums up how I feel about this awesome hobby (and for some profession) that we all enjoy. It took me a long time to get my Pilot Certificate but it was well worth it! I put together a giveaway that includes some discovery...
The TruTrak works great with the HDX. It can follow your external GPS navigator in GPSS mode or the skyview can command it by the bugs on the HDX. I think it would also follow the HDX GPS flight plan but not in GPSS mode but in a nav mode (more hunting and no anticipating) but most people have...
I don't know but here are 2 different opinions:
