Watching this, I couldn't help feeling really sorry for Todd. Having to spend every day flying fighter jet trainers, doing aerobatics, soaking up the sun etc. Just a tough way to spend every day. But, thankfully Todd and the other pilots are willing to make the sacrifice for us. Actually, Steveo has it rough too. That said, a big thank you to Todd, Steveo and Victory Aviation for making this possible. Great video guys !
Todd was freakin' amazing. I can't imagine a much better demeanor for an instructor to have... confidence inspiring, perfect rate of transfer of critical information as Steve could take it and made that landing circuit and touchdown look so easy. Great video Steve and awesome job flying that 211!
Steveo, i used to watch your videos when i worked a desk job back in 2018 it partially inspired me to quit my job as an engineer and join the Navy to be a pilot. Now just a few years later ive done it and its so surreal watching this and having done it before you. I just cant believe it. Ive flown a fair bit of forms and watching you do a break up and rendezvous while im cheering you on is just wild. Im so happy you got this experience!
I love the positivity on show here...you gotta love the Americans....such a love for fun combined with professionalism. SeveO you are so awesome, you did your 4 point with no hesitation. Amazing visiblity in these planes. These airplanes remind me of the British Hawker Siddley Hawk the mainstay in fighter training in Britain for many many years. This video had me smiling all the way through....you guys are awesome! SteveO you never fail to amaze me...I totally love your comprehension of aviation and your professionalism. Huge respect!!!
Was kinda hoping SteveO would have a good video for us on his Oshkosh visit. He never disappoints. Great camera views and a fun flight. Enjoy your time at Oshkosh
You live a charmed life my friend. I am not hating by any means. You have focused and worked hard to be where you are. I am happy for you. Thanks for all the great videos. At least I can live vicariously through you in the meantime. :)
SIAI Maechetti S-211 is a quite dated project which made its first maiden flight back in 1981. It is now reliving a new youth renewed and modernised and named M-345 . It began its duty in 2020 and will be the next aircraft adopted by the Italian National Display Team "Frecce Tricolori".
You couldn’t have chosen a better PIC. I saw MAJ Waters fly a demonstration during both days of an airshow in Wisconsin. Best I have seen in my years of attending airshows.
Had the pleasure of meeting Rain at the Chino Airshow after his last F-16 demo at that show, what an honor it must have been to fly with him! Incredible video Steveo!
Made me want to be a pilot and I'm 90 years old. I have always wanted to be a pilot but ended up working in a Hospital repairing medical equipment. Some guys have all the luck.
Maj. "Rain" Waters has some good Viper videos to watch on TH-cam, for anyone that doesn't know. I'd like to see Steveo calab with Tom Cruise in some flying videos sometime, if that is even a possibility, since they both enjoy flying and are very good at it, and I think that would be entertaining too.
SteveO, that 4 point roll was spot on! So glad you got to do this, check another flying experience off the list! SteveO, you’re a kid in a candy shop on this hop!
Denton, Tx, I knew you looked familiar. I’m in flight training and our hanger is 2 doors down from you! Loved the video and one day I’m going to go fly with you. Have a great vid of one of you taking off from KDTO back in June. I’m not sure which one of you I met, shorter gentleman and a guy who was doing some maintenance/cleaning in your hanger. Loved the video !
Hi Steveo. Quite some time hu? Guess you've been busy. Nice to see you back though. For a moment I thought it was the T-45 gooshawk.Happy landings from Portugal.
Hey Steveo........ I got the same opportunity in Australia to fly the S-211 several years ago with a buddy of mine who owns his own, he's ex RAAF F18 driver & UK ETPS grad, I'm rotary, so was a whole new experience for me....but it was seriously fun.....had him push it hard to see how I would cope........had the same grin after it as you have......!!
Steveo, I loved this video! You got me watching flying videos and John is my go to for guy for fighters. Watching you two fly together was a happy place for me. John TH-cam I watch everything and may be weird but when I can't sleep I put one of his demonstrations on and feel at peace dreaming of flying the F16. My only disappointment is you two didn't film a sit down chat about whatever. Really cool! I hope John recorded for his site.

Steve-o, I think that’s the most smiling I’ve ever seen you do in a video! Looks like you had a great time 👍🏽😎

Man fingertip is the best! Loved it in the Air Force T-6 Texan II. "2's in"
Great, great, great video !!! Thanks to Todd....
Never heard Steveo so excited.... i could hear it in his voice!! nice job!!
"climb and maintain 1,200 feet".. not everyday you hear the controller say that! Awesome video Steve!

Thank you! I was wondering.

The guy flying front seat of the Marchetti that Steve was in was Todd.
Stevio,
That was awesome,
Thank you,
Rik

Hello from Minnesota!! Outstanding! Great episode!!
Beautiful plane, thanks for this video. I was in a Marine A4 Skyhawk squadron back in the early 80's - 90's . Miss this life.
Real nice. I enjoyed it almost as much as you because you obviously enjoyed it so much! Cheers
Made me want to be a pilot and I'm 90 years old. I have always wanted to be a pilot but ended up working in a Hospital repairing medical equipment. Some guys have all the luck.
Watching this I found myself smiling the entire time. Great video!
Thanks guys reminds me of 60 years ago in the UK RAF days.Great weather but I had a propellor to hang on to ! Bless You .
