Description: The Best Feel Good Aviation Story I’ve Ever Told! Flying with one of the World’s Oldest Active Pilots and Flight Instructors! Proudly associated with ForeFlight: foreflight.com/flightchops After arriving in Canada with Martin and Micke, ending our Atlantic Crossing Ferry Flight (episodes here: youtu.be/ctgzb2SDq4Y), I help facilitate getting them an experience of a lifetime #flying a Stearman #warbird trainer. We met up my friend and mentor, and one of the most qualified pilots I know, Lieutenant Colonel (retired) Ron Holden, at the Canadian Aviation Museum in Windsor, Ontario. You might recognize Ron from some of the warbird videos and others we’ve shot at the hangar in Windsor. Ron is a 90 year old retired RCAF pilot AND STILL certified as a flight Instructor for both #generalaviation and Aerobatics! View the full/raw cut of the T6 Harvard Solo Aerobatic flight on Ron’s 85th Birthday, available here for channel supporters: patreon.com/posts/7580533 Ron’s Book - Pilot Stories (Highly Recommended!) is available in the gift shop at the Canadian Aviation Museum and online at the FlightChops Merch Store: flightchops.store/product/rons-book-a-pilots-stories *Proceeds will be donated to the Canadian Aviation Museum The Canadian Aviation Museum is an 18,000 square foot historical aircraft hangar, home to Windsor's own Lancaster bomber, Mosquito KB161, Two DHC-1 Chipmunks, Stearman, T-33, T-6 Harvard, and the Fairchild 24R Argus, as well as a soon to be airworthy Tiger Moth and Cornell.

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 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. Visit FlightChops.com for behind-the-scenes content, epic giveaways and to search episodes by aircraft type!
