Father-Son Flight Simulator
United States
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 29 ธ.ค. 2017
Father and son(s) starting a new hobby together in aviation and flight simulators, sharing their experiences and growth in the hobby over time right from the start. The father was a real world IFR/SEL rated pilot about 20 years ago. The son picked up an intense interest in aviation science playing around with FSX Steam, reigniting the father's old love for aviation. What a great way to share something together! Going all in, we're getting started with just humble gaming grade flight controls and X-plane 11 with aspirations to building the best and most realistic experience possible in a home simulator. We hope to post several videos each month going over a variety of topics, such as: Un-boxing simulator equipment, product reviews, recording flight practice and scenarios, cockpit builds, and other general aviation topics that we encounter along the way.
Son's First Solo May 2022
Can you believe it? My how time flies... We've come a long way since our first video together showing him the traffic pattern in the sim. My son is 16 now and has been flight training in real life for about a month. He has about 8hrs of logged flight instruction at the time of this video. He's flying a Cessna 172N at Mid-Carolina Regional (KRUQ) where we are based. There is no doubt in my mind that the simulator has played a huge role in his quick progression. His Flight instructor says he's never seen someone this proficient this early in his flight training, and usually it's about 10-20hrs before students will solo. Enjoy!

Father's Day at KEHO
มุมมอง 3295 ปีที่แล้ว
This 2019 Father's Day weekend, we spent a day at Shelby-Cleveland Regional (KEHO) for a fun open house and fly-in event. It was probably the first time for the rest of my family to be so up close with small GA aircraft. There were airplane and helicopter ride fundraisers, as well as several GA planes to check out up close. It was a great way to spend Father's Day weekend. This video is a synop...
