A channel exploring aviation education and safety! ✈️
I’m a pilot and aircraft mechanic. I graduated 2017 with A&P Mechanic’s Certificate. I obtained all of my flight ratings through Part 61 Aviation Schools in Middle Tennessee. I am rated in both single and multiengine aircraft (ASES, ASEL, AMEL) as well as a pilot in a DC-3! I am a FAA Certified Flight Instructor (CFI, CFI-I, MEI). I’ve owned several aircraft over a decade now including a Maule, Aztec, and Cessna 140!
I love to teach... I am a professor at MTSU in the Aerospace Department. I use this channel as a way to share two of my passions: Aviation and Teaching. This channel is a hodgepodge of aviation content and I will be sharing things that anyone in aviation might find interesting!

Great vid, very well done. Thanx.
At first it had classified to dive bomber in US army.
You have a nice channel. Looking forward to seeing more videos!
Didn’t the A-36 precede this ?
Looking forward to more videos. I been subscribed since July 31, 2022. Happy New Year!
♥ Always love your videos! May you have a blessed and prosperous New Year! ♥
Funny story: He was a piano player and on a visit to Hitler he broke out with a jazz tune on the piano.
Orville saw the dawn of the jet age. My grandmother was born before 1900 and lived to see the Wright Brothers, the atomic bomb, and the moon landing, and almost made it to the fall of the Berlin Wall.
What White men can do!
♥♥♥♥
A true Man's Man. An amazing actor and a legendary human being.🙏🙏
♥♥
You forgot to mention that he was fighting for the Nazis.
I feel like I did… and explained the incredible nature of the man who once played ragtime in front of Hitler himself despite the mandated ban on it.
@The_Flying_Mechanic how courageous.
I’m observing skill… many people on both sides thought the other was justified but had no way to support.
Why he should mention it🤦 the iron cross is german, not american or something else ;)
Only “good people” can be American in guess….
The pilot the Man who i l.never forget !!!
he is so amazing that on many occasions he counted multiple kills the allies actually did not lose any aircraft that day, or not nearly as many as he claimed, so I call BS on this fibbing wee nazi toady
Sorry you’re wrong. Two words Spitfire & Hurricane check the kill stats, without them, the warwouldhavebeenover in Europe before the mustang was even deployed
The war was lost when they attacked the Soviet Union....
The Germans methodology of counting “kills” varied some from the more strict American version. Thus the top American aces racked up scores of less than 50 kills in contrast to the grossly exaggerated numbers of the Luftwaffe.
BS, open lies from some scumbag. The german way of counting was way more strict. So stop lying. Yanks were sucking compared to german aces. Esp. with HJM, he really nailed 17 tommies at one day. All confirmed :D You would suck everybodies dick if one yank could achive half of what this guy did. :)
Grossly exaggerated...😂 Unlike you lot, the Germans were fighting for the whole war, and were good at it. That's why their tallies eclipsed Americans.
Accidents happen to the best of us! This teaches us to be witnesses and help others understand how important aviation safety is. Great job with the Cessna 140. Thanks for being so humble and sharing your experiences. You have a great combination of A&P/IA/Pilot and God with you. I would like to keep watching your videos. I watched your first video with flywithbend. Thanks and God bless you!
It is rumored (or documented) that he marked deflection angles on his wind shield with chewing gum. Another fun fact is he was rubbish with E models and turned into a legend as soon as Bf.109 F-2 arrived.
Kelly Johnson and Skunk Works developed the SR 71
Saw a demonstration at Burbank. The planes sound & performance were amazing... it looked prehistoric flying by the mountains.
Burbank, you say? I wonder if it was the same one that was on display at the Smithsonian a few years ago?
its funny, all looking like the Fw200!
Great video! I would highly encourage you to consider adding shoulder straps to the 140. It’s a safety issue that I feel is mandatory. Too many people have been hurt or lost from lack of shoulder restraints, especially with the type of accident you had.
Shut up you silly American
Very helpful info, thank you!!
I need to redo this video… it was so long ago and I’ve gotten way better at editing! Thanks for the comment!
♥ It's sad to see this series come to an end 😞 I continue to look forward to your future endeavors 🙂
Can't help but notice that at least two of the aircraft shown in this piece were well represented by replicas in the movie, _Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines._ Very, VERY NEAT!
There has been a lot of talk of who won the Battle of the Coral Sea, but the truth is neither side could claim victory. However, both naval fleets battered each other so badly that both withdrew from the theatre, so there was no clear winner. However, the American manufacturing might shone through in the following Battle of Midway. We Aussies like to think of ourselves as having a major role in the Coral Sea conflict, but it was a very minor role, apart from one incredibly significant thing. Before the Battle of the Coral Sea happened, there was a lot of small boat traffic between the Australian and American fleets. Apparently it was somewhat lopsided traffic though because while the Americans had movies and icecream, the Aussies trumped all of that because............. they had BEER!
When the U.S. Army Air Corp put out the original spec to Allison, they said that G.M. was going to build the turbo charger. That turbo wouldn't fit in a P-40 or P-51 and thus it would run out of breath at 12 to 15 thousand feet. It would however fit into the twin boom P-38 which could hold it's own at altitude.
Interesting!
Great presentation, as always ♥♥♥♥
♥♥♥♥ Loved the Concord!
Where‘s the 717?😅 still great video🤘🏽
The 717 is just lesser known in my opinion. It’s a great platform but just not as recognizable as the others.
@ definitely with you on this! Just was a bit confused as you lined up every 7-Series since their beginning and didn’t mentioned the 717 lol Keep on this great work bud!
@ursulakruse4197 thanks and you’ve got a very valid point!
The Russians forced 11 Million Germans out of their homes. They forced them into western occupied territory where this people had no homes. Food was rationed. And you have Russians today which claim that they liberated East Europe. While all of eat Europe had to suffer under Russian occupation. Make no mistake. The Russian society is Germany's and Eastern Europe enemy till they accept real history and their crimes.
yes, and let`s also hope and fight if necessary to not LOSE our freedom and democracy because of a con man we put in place, lets see what we think 2 yrs. from now.
Glad you mentioned British airmen involved also,
Yeah, they helped move 600,000 tons of the 2.3 million tons of supplies....Gotta make sure not to give America too much credit......
The took the brunt of the German assault. Imagine if we had been asked to do the same thing for Tokyo right after the war….
@@The_Flying_Mechanic Ummm have you heard of the Battle of Okinawa hahaha? That was a massive humanitarian event. And the US DID rebuild Japan after WWII... That's why it is the world's third largest economy now. Also, Britain only survived the "brunt of the German assault" because of the US' Lend-Lease program. My point stands, correctly, that the Berlin Airlift was primarily a US undertaking. The supplies were primarily American and the delivery was done primarily by Americans.
@shaunhudson5214 you misunderstood my statement… I was saying that they had way more losses and were way more worn down than we were by the end of the war. Then I also included the idea of the social aspect.
they gave them more than enough (i think)
The kids didn’t understand why mom and dad couldn’t feed them… I understand the cost involved with this but I fear we’ve become a bottom line nation rather than one whose people look for those who need a helping hand.
Made it too stylish with the square windows. The engines inside the wings were a bad idea too.
🦃♥♥♥♥
Happy Thanksgiving! Thanks for your consistent support!
I remember seeing this on the evening news. I was 11 years old then.
♥♥♥♥ It's sad that in order to improve something, accidents must happen 😞
Reactive Safety is dependent on accidents to learn from them. Modern aviation benefits from Proactive and even Predictive Safety to identify current and anticipate future problems. This is the basis for the Safety Management Systems (SMSs) in the airlines and other industries.
Really good looking 140A. Took my Private Pilot's license in one of these. Such a good plane to learn to fly! Congrats!
I fart on command
If you were not part of the watching audience on Earth that day, it will be hard for you to imagine the doubt and hope that we all felt as Armstrong maneuvered the lander over a forbidding landscape to find a safe landing point. Houston called out the diminishing seconds of fuel left, and we dared not breathe until finally, at the last second, the contact light came on. I honestly believe that Neil Armstrong was the only person alive who could have persevered through those last moments of doubt, and made the landing. Unforgettable.
I hate all the watchers on other planets didn't get to view the coverage... 😂
And now they kill people for whistle blowing.
I'm hoping this doesn't get me on that list.... 😂
Thats when America was great.
To be honest, that’s when Boeing had engineers leading the company rather than stick incentivized executives at the helm… what we’re seeing now adays has been 20 years in the making…
How come no mention the 747😮?
♥♥♥♥
Armstrong actually said, "Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed." I watched the landing live on CBS at a friends house.
And what Neil actually said, when he took that historic first step on the moon, was, "That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for Mankind." Unfortunately, the occasional radio breakup you hear in all the old NASA-Astronaut communications struck just as he said "a," and an idiot named Walter Cronkite, in his haste to insert himself into the event, immediately repeated the truncated quote. He didn't even pause for two seconds to reason out why Neil would have said one small step for Man before continuing to speak about Mankind. Fcuking moron...
That was the most impressive piloting ever. The greatest pilot ever, my hero.
