This is part two of our conversation with Art Warbelow. Check out part 1 for his back story and how he learned to fly.
Strap in for an unforgettable journey into the world of bush flying with Art Warbelow, a bush pilot who started flying when he was 16.

From the raw dangers of wake turbulence and aircraft accidents to the art of precise landings on gravel bars and ridges, this episode is packed with wisdom every pilot can learn from. Hear how Art turned his experiences into a course for the FAA, teaching pilots how to approach off-airport operations with safety and preparedness in mind.
Key highlights:
Surviving a plane crash in the Alaskan wilderness.
Essential tips for STOL landings and takeoffs in bush planes like the Super Cub and Cessna.
Why knowing your airplane’s strengths and weaknesses is critical for Alaska bush flying.

    That Russian pilot did not perform a well executed short field takeoff. Anyone who understands balanced field length and multi-engine operations knows that they took a huge risk. One bird into one engine causing a flame out and everyone on board would have likely died somewhere off the end of that runway. Please stop praising cowboys. It does a huge disservice to aviation.

    It was really nice to watch and made me smile! Thanks for all your content. Lately, I’ve watched all of it to improve my English regarding aviation. I’ve been dreaming about bush flying in Alaska for almost 8 years, and this year it will come true. There’s a random guy I asked for advice to help me get closer towards my dream, and he invited me to his ranch, where I can give him a hand and he’s willing to teach me bush flying. I’ve never been so excited about something, and I can’t wait to come over. Cheers, a German dude who wants to fly…

      they are a Bern skateboarding or snowboarding helmet that has been retrofitted with bose A20. My design. Unfortunately, a couple years ago the helmet industry stopped making helmets that can be modified in this way. So unless you have an old bern helmet this can't be done.
