  • In this video, we fly the AviationFix Piper Cherokee Six to Josh’s school cross country 5k race! Due to COVID-19, riding the bus to meets was not an option for us, so it was really fun to be able to fly to this type of event. The flight and drive both took around 20-25 minutes each, and we arrived at the cross country meet saving around an hour of driving (compared to the bus). Josh got 3rd overall with a 16:47 and our team ended up winning the meet! On a side note, if you ever plan on flying into an airport near Findlay Ohio, you MUST fly into Tiffin! They have a really nice FBO and their courtesy car is amazing! This was a really fun flight and we can’t wait to go back. If you haven’t already, consider subscribing to our channel.

    Awesome way to learn how to fly (safely) with Dad...!!!....My father taught me primary skills before I got my driving license like most in the GA community I guess..,if he takes a nap while it's your airplane ,you know you're ok..!!!

    Very positive video. Thanks. But who's inhabit in the back seat? Josh's Mom? Some acknowledgment would be great.

    Next speed mod - maybe some fancy pants for the wheels.

    Definitely the nicest courtesy car. Not some clapped out Cutlass from the 80s 😂

    How you run backwards on tredmjl like that

    • @AviationFix
      @AviationFix  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      There’s a little reverse button on the bottom of most treadmills actually. After years of training I was able to master the art of running backwards at a 3 flat pace.

    Awesome flight. I know this isn't your fault so forgive me, but that XC race is insane. My sons wouldn't participate if it was like that. We've (east coast) modified all our XC races for covid and none of them start like this anymore. Designated spectator areas (your spectators are wayyyy too close) with required masks, and the starts are spread out into waves by times to help spread racers out. You guys are running like nothing has happened.

    • @AviationFix

      I’d have to agree with you on this one. Other than not being able to get to the start line until 5 minutes before the race, mask requirements, and spectator limitations, it seemed like a fairly normal season. Since this was my senior season and I had fairly large potential, not running wasn’t something that me or my family wanted me to do. With that being said, we definitely took precautions over what was “required”, and my season ended up being a safe success!

    Why do you call it a Saratoga it is a Cherokee Six?

    • @AviationFix
      @AviationFix  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Even though it is a Cherokee Six, with the speed mods it has on it, it performs very similarly to a Saratoga FG. Instead of saying Cherokee (which could mean a lot of different models) we announce Saratoga to give others (and ATC) a better understanding of what speed we will be flying.
