FLIGHT CHOPS DISCLAIMER:
I am a "weekend warrior" private pilot, I fly for fun with no intentions of going commercial. I have had my PPL for over 15 years, but still consider each flight a learning experience - I generally take detailed notes after each flight to remind myself what went well or what I could do to improve.... Having the GoPro cameras to record flights like this is invaluable. I find these self analysis videos very helpful in my constant quest to improve, and am happy to share. Feedback is invited; however, please keep it positive
Love the almost daily vlog idea!!! Thanks for keeping us up to date!!
Thanks yeah, it is NOT easy :P.
Will do my best to get a couple more out this week during the Races!
FlightChops we appreciate the work! Wish I could be there!! Don’t forget to put the camera down every once and a while to enjoy it yourself!!
Featuring our excellent man Elliot Seguin, instantly guarantees thumbs way up 😎
One of your videos just appeared in my recommended randomly and since then I've been religiously watching your videos for the last month. I'm 25 and had no idea how bloody interested in flight I was until I watched one of your videos. As a child I wanted to fly fighter planes (back in 98' I assumed I'd still be in a spitfire) but as I grew older I realized we had graduated to jet fighters. Lost my interest for whatever reason but here I am... I can't get enough of your flight vlogs. Keep it up sir! I'm from NB, Canada
Manual Golf R and three Sea Fury’s in one video what more can a man ask for!
:)
Reno Air Races are an absolute must for any aviation enthusias!!!
Steve that formation flying was one of the most epic can’t wait for what’s coming. I get a kick Elliot calling you Mr. Big Chops funny guy.
Awesome shots from the formation flight! Thanks for the coverage!
this is SO SICK! thanks for giving us a little look into what goes into one of the coolest events in GA
I love the Hawker Sea Fury, really looking forward to an (almost) daily FlightChops vlog with morning coffee!
Dude, so cool. It's on my bucket list to see the Reno races. Thanks for putting this on.
All I can say is, thank you! Warbirds are just absolutely amazing and to think the men that fought and died for us in them, mint....
I never saw the appeal of Reno. It's now high on the bucket list. Awesome video
Really appreciate this feedback! I am glad you were able to see another side of the Reno Air Races in this video :)
This is awesome. What a great first video and I cannot wait to see what is to come.
This is cool. For some reason, just yesterday I stumbled upon a Sea Fury documentary. And now this. Awesome. Thanks, Steve, keep it coming!
Cool stuff, Steve. Can't wait for the rest of it.
Oh the memories. When I was 12 or so in the 80's, I met Frank Sanders. His words burned into my soul about following your heart. A couple of years later Dennis took me up in a P-51D. Time of my life that's for sure.
Amazing! Thanks so much, Steve! Also, the Sanders' warbirds-out-Beech-back setup is very baller.
Awesome. I get excited when I see a P51 and a Sea Fury. Not many of those in South Africa. But to see a formation of them, man I have gone to heaven. You guys in the USA are so lucky. Tks for the vids and channel.
Wow... your videos have always been amazing, but this one stood out, even as I was watching it. Your editing skills are really showing in this one. Keep it up, Steve!
What an amazing opportunity, yet again! Thanks for sharing this adventure with us!
Two of my favorite TH-cam pilots in one series of videos?! AWESOME. airplanes are cool.
Almost daily vlogging? My dude Flightchops saw those Trent Palmer Osh daily vlog stats hah.
That is sooo awesome seeing that fomation!! That front on camera looking at the pilot looks unreal!! Looking forward to finding out more about the Reno Air Races and how it all works!!
Yes! Save the manuals! DriveChops knows what's up with the Golf R.
:)
Good job, keep up and don't forget to have fun doing it!
So many awesome airplanes captured perfectly, it gave me chills. Thank you :)
Thanks for the feedback! We’re tryin’ hard :)
Your videos are the highlight of my week! Thanks!
Awesome thanks!
So many gorgeous airplanes all together! I was in Reno last year and it was awesome.
So excited to be headed to Reno for the races this year, thanks for some behind the scenes and daily updates
Cool stuff!! Thanks for sharing!!
Steve, we met your meet and greet at Sun N Fun in Lakeland Florida this year. I was at Reno last year but couldn't make it this year. You are the MAN !! Thanks for the vlogs of this year's event. Almost makes me feel like I am there. Can't wait to go back next year. You're doing an awesome job filming the way you do on the fly.
Ahh, the Reno Air Races. I never get to Oshkosh due to scheduling but Reno? No problem. Thank you for another adventure. Look forward to your videos. Fly safe.
What a freaking awesome video! Love it!
Nice EP steve I am looking forward to seeing more from this adventure
This was pretty awesome! Looking forward to more, thanks : )
I'm not a pilot but I love planes. I really enjoy your channel.
Great video Steve. It was really cool seeing Elliot’s everyday personality. He’s got a dream job
Another lifetime adventure. Thanks for sharing so much .
Nice, Got to go to the Sanders Bros. place there in Ione (Eagles Nest), friend did some work as an A&P for them for a bit.Love your videos man keep 'em rollin'!
Love the Sea fury,was watching one buzz the field at Duxford Imperial War Museum UK last week,got a nice face full of smoke on start up! It's a fantastic place,with warbirds and other vintage aircraft flying most decent weather days. Spits were flying,B-17 and an Me109 as well,great day!
I need to get there
Wow 😮 two Air Crafts on one tow truck!!!! Awesome vlog... keep it up
Thank you for the incredible and inspirational videos, you are the one who made decide i wanna be a pilot thank you so much keep up the amazing work!
Very nice mr chops!
Finally, Flight Chops to Reno!!!
Dude this video was awesome!
Ahhh, my hometown airport you flew into in the beginning, SMF. Worked as a ramp agent for a year and a half until 12 months ago, when I began flight school soon after. I will recognize anything in Terminal A in a blink of an eye, like the tower of lost bags at baggage claim, Samson. Wish I was there to greet you
Before there are excuses found to stop the Reno Races, I so badly need to find a way there to enjoy these!! Aircraft are a passion of mine, and I so badly want to see piston engined aircraft doing speeds I had never known were possible. This said, very awesome that you got to go and enjoy all the amazing flying! Also, while not a VW fan myself, very awesome to see you drive a manual!!
Awesome, awesome, awesome. Liked seeing MSP in there too -- great airport! I worked the ramp there for a few years.
Your editing keeps getting better and better!
So sort! Love the video!
So epic to see those Sea Furys fly out!
Top aviation person in US and CA. Top quality stuff that peaks my insterest and makes me keep watching the entire thing. Thanks, Steve!
The coolest canopy on Sander's current Seafury
Great work. I'm so sad to not make it this year. I was able watch last years final battle with voodoo and strega though!
Awesome vid! Keep em coming, no pressure lol.
Your videos sometimes make my jaw drop! I absolutely ❤ your videos!!!!
Would love to see more from the air races!! 🙌🏼🙏🏼
Good to see the warbirds out! Went to Ponte De Sor air summit where a European style Reno was run using the sam brief fly debrief procedures, Good to see the sport class getting their formations down so fast, most flew before but some including my dad flying a Cap 231 had only flown one formation in a cessna 152, not quite as good acceleration :P
I’m really looking forward to this series! My dad used to crew for John Sandburg. First on Tipsy Miss... then a bit on Tsunami.
Incredible footage
Awesome Stevie! Sea Fury's my favorite WWII fighter, but love them all!. Get some sleep and we'll be waiting with bated breath for next vlog!
Incredible, the amount of airspace you have over in America to really have some fun. From little old UK.
I love these videos. Thank you so much
Fantastic video!!! :)
YES!!! Now that's the way to go to Reno!!
Love your golf!
Steve, I've always had a crazy amount of respect for you and everything that you do with your channel, but knowing that you're also a fellow VW owner just kicked you up another notch in my books!
Haha - yeah - my first car was an ‘85 Scirocco! I have been driving a Subaru WRX for the last ~10 years... but the Golf R ticked all the right boxes so I was happy to return to VW when the WRX needed replacing.
I thought I recognized that cluster! One of my friends has an '18 R. Glad to see you took the manual, my '15 TDI Highline is also a stick. One of the things I love about VW is that you can fully option out a car with every bell and whistle they offer, but still get it with three pedals. Most other manufacturers won't let you get a higher trim level in a proper manual.
Really enjoyed this episode.
Good Luck, see ya next Sunday!!!
Beautiful work Chops. We need some awesome wallpapers from this footage.
Amazing video! Love it!!!! Also.....
"Two Planes One Tug."
.

Just gonna leave that here LOL
Its awesome to see you hanging out with elliot, he's one badass dude.
Agreed :)
Heading to Reno on Thurs in my 1959Comanche 250 from KTOA for 34years in the VIP box 97 hope to see you on the ramp this is the greatest race on earth
Love your videos.
I knew the Dreadnaught, but here they have a Wasabinaught, a Tugnaut...it must be all for naught!
I say this a lot... but you know how much I love this one. So cool that Sanders Aeronautics is still doing it after all these years. Dreadnought is still as beautiful as ever. Dennis was probably in the cockpit during the Madera flight photo I shared. This is all way, way too cool. With all my warbird rides, I've only been to Reno once. Really looking forward to more.
It has been really cool to work so closely with these guys.
Two planes on one tug that’s both crazy and amazing!
Biscuits and dip - check. Flight chops - check. Good times - roll on
AWESOME AERIAL FOOTAGE
YEES!! Love the Sea Fury!
Can't wait till Next video
Next best thing to being there, I'm super bummed about being stuck in Portland. Dude... You're a lifesaver.
SWEEET! This is gonna be fun! 😎
Love this!
I'll eventually get to the Reno air races.
This is pure gold, fantastic per the usual. Say hi to Elliot for me, Friend from Threshold. Clear skies gents!
Fantastic video. I have to get out to the air races....
I love those old planes. Awesomeness.
Golf R too!? Awesome! I knew I liked you.
Good job! You're going to need a nap when this is all done!
Hey man !! Welcome to Reno!!
Thanks!
Hell yeah Flightchops is in my neck of the woods. Hope you like Reno man.
Ayyy I love that cessna T50 shown!
That was wild!
Whaaaaaaat? I fly past Eagles Nest heading to and from Rancho Murieta all the time and I had no idea there were that many cool toys down there! Hopefully I'll bump into you in Reno on Saturday! Have fun Chops!
Same here, out of Placerville. I actually saw a Sea Fury at Auburn two weeks ago with zero paint on it making low passes while I was in the run up area.... Was it? Maybe?
@@fordtechchris chances are high! Ever find your way to the EAA hangar at Placerville for pancakes?
@@michaelhubble absolutely! We've made 3 this summer (brand new pilot) September's breakfast was our flight up to kaun for breakfast. Just as we pulled in to the airport, and saw the signs, I told my wife, oops! This was supposed to be pancake breakfast... But I already had my heart set on flying out after all that smoke it was a beautiful morning.
@@fordtechchris I don't want to put my number on here but shoot me an email at michaelhubble87@gmail.com so we can link up. I'm a new pilot too and I'm always looking for flying buddies.
Love that hanger i been there few times in ione.ca
When's the last time you have seen a gaggle of Seafurys cruising along, that is cool.
AHHHH! YESS!!! We're getting ready to come up on Sunday. This is awesome to check in on the weeks events. I had no idea Dreadnought lived at Eagles Nest.... That turned out to be my emergency lading field during my Private Pilot check ride! Will you be having a meet up?
Meet up is on Saturday, but try me on Sunday and maybe we can meet - flightchops at gmail dot com
Oh nice, My CFI is a judge at the Reno air races.
I'm about 5 minutes from SMF. Welcome to the area.
