Josh: Really touched me with this episode. Having grown up in Louisville, learning to fly out of Bowman in the late 70s and after some snooping learned that Chelsea had worked for "Bob" , as I had, out of Somerset Ky while I was in A&P school. Such a close community, ManyThanks on this one!!
Lee Bottom is awesome! Nice to see some familiar airports on the channel. I took my medical flight test at JVY and my FAA written at Bowman back in 2015, and finally found time to fly my 150 into Lee Bottom in 2020 (I'm over in Southwest Indiana). Great grass strip and a such an awesome resource for a picnic, camping under the wing, or just dropping in for a visit. I also took my 150 over to Bowman to see if anyone remembered it, as it spent several years making pilots there in the late 70s/early 80s. What an awesome experience when SDF cleared me over the numbers 35L and 35R on the way into LOU - got to see a pair of UPS Airbus do parallel takeoffs right as I flew over. Great content as always Josh, thanks for sharing!
Rich and Ginger are the best! The fly-in every year was some of my favorite memories. I was the young kid running around in the gator all day. Not many realize how much time and effort they put in to keep it going.
Josh I just want to say thank you, I took my first training flight today! Your videos are both a source of inspiration for doing this, and a source of learning and understanding that helped me be able to understand some of what I was doing and seeing today.
This has to be the coolest channel I have ever found. I can’t get enough! With your informative information in these videos I am seriously considering going to aviation school. I currently weld aerospace parts for a living and have always wanted to fly. Thanks for the confidence!
Really great, appreciated, thanks for sharing thrilling experience congratulations to all wonderful video and useful detailed information, excellent photography 🙏
I know that scenery well... I go from Evansville to Louisville a couple times a year. Sadly, never by air. Great to see you in my neck of the woods. The country is much smaller when you have a plane
@@Highmaintenance_chels It sure is! Another great one is Hagerstown Indiana I61 4000' grass just north of I-70. We did a weekend campout fly-in there last week.
I really appreciate the briefings, attention to detail, and level of professionalism I see from your channel, Steveo1kinevo, and CitationMax. Some of these aviation channels leave a lot to be desired in regard to judgement, decision making and airmanship.
Close to my neck of the woods. Ohio River.... aka, the Mighty Muddy. Formation with loved ones. One of my three aviation dreams. Such a beautiful thing.
@@sethadams4871 So I wasn't suggesting Josh is anywhere near Dan, but Dan mentioned he was working with Josh in his last video N4765N part 3. In 1986 my first lesson, my CFi (who was a retired 727 Capt).....we did chandelles and stalls in my first lesson....his point was leave the controls alone and the Cessna would recover itself.....that was a long time ago....I am NOT a pilot now, but if was was signing up for lessons now....Josh would be someone I could trust and relate to.
Re: the break away maneuver, takes me back to watching Sky King when I was a kid, his turn and bank away from the camera in the intro was always cool. Watching your break brought that to mind! Fly safe!
So fun to watch because it looked so relaxing and fun especially with Chelsea at the controls. Nice pictures of her flying one of the two planes in formation to a grass runway along the river with pizza for a picnic. You had a extra seat, wish I were along with you. Thanks for sharing.
Ahh UPS, my job for the last 24 years. I hope to retire from there in the next 2 to 3 years and go airline pilot as I am working on my commercial now. I can't tell you the amount of planes that fly in every day to Orlando from Louisville. Scenery looks great, keep on flying!
I have been waiting for this video for lonnng! Excellent editing, so much fun to watch and to see Chelsea in your videos brings so much "life" to them. What an awesome experience and how fortunate for us to be able to share with you.
Great video. Being in those small planes looks exciting. Watching videos like these sure makes me feel like I'm missing out. keep on flying. Let's go Brandon!
Been flying since 1980. Made me grin ear to ear to hear the girls reveling in the simple joy of flight. Looks exactly the same as it did back then. 1966 C150 - might be the same airplane. "It never gets old."
Love this, nice landing strip and most important, friends and family flying with. Also love the detail and professional way you publish these videos. Keep up with the quality videos, great stuff!! Safe flights. Greetings from Nooitgedagt Farm, Sutherland, Northern Cape, South Africa
My son and I recently toke a c/152 up to Coopertowns NY.. what a great flight 6500’ through NY air space. Had lots of BIG birds to thread my way through. Been flying 25 years now and I can’t get enough. That’s again Josh.
Lived not far from here -- use to fly my helicopter there ... when no one was around ... great scenery in Hanover, IN & the Ohio River. The power plant down river from Lee Bottom - my father put that in with his construction company - He would fly over the progress of that in the early 80's and I helped take photo's in his Beechcraft A36 ... good memories.
It was really awesome to see you feature my hometown, Louisville, Kentucky. I have been to Bowman Field many times and have actually flown from KLOU, did a touching go at KSDF, and did a city tour. Strangely enough, even though it is so close to home, I was not aware of the grass strip at Lee Bottom. I remember you mentioning that you were coming to Louisville in a previous video. I wish I had known exactly when you were gonna be here. I would have loved to have met up with you at Bearno's Pizza while you were ordering the pizza and watched you depart from Bowman Field. Maybe I have that opportunity to do that in the future. You should check out Louisville during Thunder over Louisville, which is an all-day air show and fireworks spectacular two weeks before the Kentucky Derby. I love your channel and enjoy watching it a great deal. Thank you for your passion, professionalism, and great videography.
Nice to see Bowman (and Bearno's) featured. My mother lives just under where most people turn downwind to base for 24. Great plane watching from her back deck. Congratulate Chelsea on getting you to pronounce "Louisville" close to how us natives do.
Just found your channel and cannot stop watching your videos. Well done they are amazing videos. I am going to recreate some of your flights in MSFS2020 since you have some spectacular routes
One of my favorite turf air strips. I flew in and out of there 45 times in 2020. Rich and Ginger allow us to park our motorhome there for a couple weeks at a time and we fly in and out. Was just there this past couple weeks with our motorhome and 172 Sept 2021. Nice video. Then yesterday I was parked next to the 150 at Madison Fri eve watching the B-17 give rides. Wish I would met the pilot of the 150. 9.24.2021 Saw you getting fuel as I taxied out.
Welcome to my flying neighborhood. I'm based at Clark County (KJVY) and both Bowman Field and Lee Bottom are very familiar destinations for my wife and I throughout the year. Don't be a stranger!
Not quite the same but I've done a lot of sim flying in and out of a Louisville. So many UPS flights. So cool seeing both of you formation flying over the city.
I camped at Lee Bottom a couple of times when they used to have a large annual fly-in. Those were great times. I wish that they would do it again, but it was hard work for a few volunteers and I think that they had to give it up. BTW, my dad trained at Bowman Field with his C-46 crew before departing for the China, Burma, India Theatre during WWII.

Gorgeous field! Thanks for sharing Josh!
LOVE your videos! Thank you so much for sharing your flights on here. You all rock! ✈☀️👩✈️💞👨✈️✈
His videography and cinematic skills are phenomenal! It’s a joy getting to film with him, such a talent
A true pleasure to watch.
It never gets old........
Never gets old watching your videos been doing it for a long time. Safe travels.

Do you fly out of Evansville? If so what do you fly? I am based in Carmi. Never been to this airport but will have to check it out
@@jmharms2000 I fly a Cherokee 140 out of EVV!
Another great video!! Formation flight, great drone shots and beautiful scenery all around! I really enjoyed it!!
Was a special day, couldn’t have asked for better people, weather, food, or transportation! We are so grateful
YESSS!!! Lee Bottom!!! I like to see your flying videos in my neck of the woods!
Isn’t it the best!
@@Highmaintenance_chels It sure is! Another great one is Hagerstown Indiana I61 4000' grass just north of I-70. We did a weekend campout fly-in there last week.
@@ChrisFeasterpilot we will have to check it out! Thanks for the suggestion, fly safe 😃
Love Lee Bottom! Thanks for showcasing this great little airport!

Close to my neck of the woods. Ohio River.... aka, the Mighty Muddy.
Formation with loved ones. One of my three aviation dreams. Such a beautiful thing.
Seeing their smiling faces in the next plane is so special!
Cessna "when a door closes another one opens, other than that it's a pretty good aircraft" 🤣
I love you guys, such a cute couple!!!
Sending love back at ya friend! Blue skies 😃
Super fun video Josh....so glad you are working with Dan on GA Safety and being a superior CFI......All the Best!

Couldn’t agree more!
I love it !!!
Awesome !!!!!,thank you.

Good luck with your training! LOU has been my home airport! We have a great community here
Lee Bottom has been on my bucket list for awhile, can't wait to check it out.
Jodh,
That's what it's all about!
Cheers,

Jim, we are so grateful! Thanks for coming along on the ride - how could we not have fun, flying still feels like a dream 🥰
Aviation never gets boring!
Dude! What an awesome video. Love how you got footage from both planes.
Awesome video, Josh. What great memories you are making!!!
Great video. Being in those small planes looks exciting. Watching videos like these sure makes me feel like I'm missing out. keep on flying. Let's go Brandon!
Let us GO! Brandon
Always enjoy following your adventures!! Keep it up and stay safe out there!
Blue skies
The drone operator was on point with those landing shots.
Such an awesome channel. This is what life should be about - living your passion and finding new and creative ways to enjoy it.
GREAT to see Chelsea as PIC!!
I really love seeing the small grass strips that I have no prior knowledge of .. great video
What a great flight:) Thanks!!!!

I loved this video. Great flying!
Great video Josh. Lots of precious cargo in the 150. Have a good one sir.
Blue Skys and Tailwinds
I didn't realize private planes were allowed to fly so close together. It was very cool, especially the break! Thanks for another great video.
Great tour love the impromptu video. Keep up the good work
Outstanding.
Drone shots for the win!
And the win goes to Chelsea. Thanks for the great vlog Josh.
Very nice Josh! Good stuff!
Great video man. Always a good day when you post. Love the content, keep up the hard work! Fly safe.
Class vid as usual 👍😁
Steve.
Great job. Long time viewer. Just wish you could post twice a week. Worth the wait though. Gig em
What a great video- thanks for sharing!
Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for sharing.
From Louisville myself and enjoyed your flight. Flew right over my moms house. You guys rock! Fun flight!
Took my first lessons on a grass strip in NC. nothing like it...and there's nothing like that radial sound!
Lived not far from here -- use to fly my helicopter there ... when no one was around ... great scenery in Hanover, IN & the Ohio River. The power plant down river from Lee Bottom - my father put that in with his construction company - He would fly over the progress of that in the early 80's and I helped take photo's in his Beechcraft A36 ... good memories.
Enjoyed the info on Bowman. Well done.
Josh, great job on the video, flying, and the formation. I have been a longtime subscriber and you keep making some great videos. Kudos

Great video..thank you so much.
That's a great airfield! It's the first grass strip I ever flew into. I did all my training out of Clark county! Great content my dude!
Great video Keep up the Great video's
I usually prefer videos with safety messages/lessons but I must say Josh, this was very enjoyable. Cheers.
Earned my pilot's license at Bowman. Lee Bottom is awesome. Great video!!
I just LOVE your videos!
ahh, that pizza looks delish, and that red racer, just a beautiful plane
Excellent video!!
I’m a student at ATP at Clark co so that’s awesome to see people going to Lee bottom!
Almost diverted into Bowman the other day going into KLEX. Awesome video, Lee Bottom is now on my list! 🤙
A pristine public grass strip! Take a weekend and pack a tent!
Nice to see Bowman (and Bearno's) featured. My mother lives just under where most people turn downwind to base for 24. Great plane watching from her back deck.
Congratulate Chelsea on getting you to pronounce "Louisville" close to how us natives do.
I’ve always envied the people who get to live so close to Bowman! Such a great area, and awesome plane spotting! - Hope to see ya around, Cheers Jeff
She….. is so right for you….Chelsea you rock girl….
Loved it.
Awesome! 👏
I hate to see private aviation dying, good thing your helping bring it back
Likely your best video to date...
I agree 😅😆😃
Great video, you're the best !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
awesome job as always! makes me want to learn to fly
Fun!!!

Nice camera angles on the landing into lee bottom!
This is awesome
"Three Zero Faaaaahve Six X-Ray" sounds beautiful to Australian ears :)
Welcome to my flying neighborhood. I'm based at Clark County (KJVY) and both Bowman Field and Lee Bottom are very familiar destinations for my wife and I throughout the year. Don't be a stranger!
As always great video
The drone footage on touch down was a cool surprise.
Excellent stuff bro
Not quite the same but I've done a lot of sim flying in and out of a Louisville. So many UPS flights.
So cool seeing both of you formation flying over the city.
It is indeed a great spot on the river. I went to college up the bluff at Hannover College in the sixties.
Exceptional editing. Bet it took a loooooong time to put this one together! Great job.
Please please post more often, I’m 16 years old I’m a student flyer with a passion to fly corporate, your videos make my world✈️
Good luck on your journey! Stay kind, humble, and hungry to learn
