THE GREATEST SUN SHADES EVER! SLAP SHADES
I have always been searching for good sun visors and I found them!
Slap Shades, by wing view tint are amazing. I got them at sun and fun and they have been awesome to have.
wingviewtint.com/products/slap-shades
The best part about these shades is that they are out of the way in the cockpit. There are no brackets or hardware that you have to deal with, and they keep the cabin cool.
This gives protection to pilots and passengers to get on demand shade and sun relief. The panels are applied using an incredible micro-suction cup technology that allows them to form and hold to any shaped surface.
Once they are locked in place, Slap Shade will stay put..& when you’re done with them for the day, simply peel them off and place them next to or under your seat.
Because we use micro-suction cup technology, there is no adhesive or residue left behind on your window and they never lose their grip.
Yes! I bought an airplane! This program has some initial numbers and breaks down the monthly expenses. Owning an airplane can be affordable... but the upgrades.... That is what will get me. Watch this program to find out what ownership costs.
Have you always wanted to learn how to fly but now you are over 50? Get out there and start and learn! There are so many people in there 50's and 60's who are just starting to fly so what are you waiting for?

Yes, that’s right 2214Y is for sale. The number one question everybody has on their mind is why am I selling it? Well, it’s time to move up. You have all come with me on my journey of ownership with this airplane and watching every single upgrade that I’ve made to it till now, and the truth is that I have simply outgrown this airplane. I love this airplane and it is an emotional event for me to...

So the new spar is in and this airplane is better structurally than the day she came out of the factory. Everything has had corrosion protection applied to it, and all the paperwork is completely in order and fully verified for the new spar that was purchased. This was something that was extremely important to me because when I was looking for a new spar, I came across a few spars that I wasn’t...

    I have questions. Why/how did you buy a plane with corrosion so bad on a spar that it has to be replaced? How long have you owned it? how has it passed annual? Pass a pre-buy? How could the spar be so corroded that it has to be replaced but it wasn't found ? How did you go through all this and still not know how to spell EDDY?

Except for weight increase that would give access to docks, get you high enough to see dead heads, give you compartment floation for safety and increase wave tolerance…just sayin

    Hi good evening. Very nice video. I work ATC in the TTZP FIR (PIARCO FIR). Can you elaborate on that strange request you received about leaving the airspace? I'm curious. Maybe I can help shed some light on it also.

    • @Over50andLearningToFly
      @Over50andLearningToFly Місяць тому

      You know it’s been almost 2 years and I can’t remember what that request was. I remember in the middle of the islands. A controller told me that they have to charge us for going through their airspace which was really strange and I said OK and he gave me a number to call when we landed at our destination. I think that was it anyway thanks for watching!

    In 1969 I had an introductory flight at the age of 13 in what was then called the Rose Valley Airport. My family lived in Rose Valley maybe a quarter mile from the airport and on lazy summer days my friends and I would lay in the grass at the end of the runway and wait for airplanes to fly twenty feet overhead. I saved my first flight 'logbook' and added it to my PPL when I started flying here in Canada (at an age over 50). What a treat to see this video. My home airport is the Guelph Airpark (CNC4) and every bit as small and fun as KVKK.

      You just tell ATC that you’re switching over to talk to flight service and that you’ll be right back and then switch your frequency back to ATC and let them know that you’re back. People do this all the time and it’s a great way to keep in contact with both. Thanks for watching!

    Similar thing just happened to me a few weeks ago except in my case I had an RPM drop. The right mag dropped like normal and the left mag sputtered to a near stop. It turns out that the left mag's break point was not breaking enough causing a loss of voltage going to the spark plugs.

    Flew a Cardinal for my required complex time during commercial training. It was love at first flight after “living” in a 172 through private & instrument training. School only had two complex/retractable gear aircraft, the Cardinal & an old, worn-out, Hershey Bar wing Arrow. That meant scheduling the Cardinal was difficult since everyone loved it! I was thoroughly briefed on landing the 177 before flying it & had no problem at all in transitioning from a 172. I was signed off for solo in an hour. I would rent a Cardinal today without thinking. What a wonderful airplane!
