Some of the best people in the world are in that place. Great turnout. Honored to be part of it!

[@goingtoscotland]

Yeah, I see dirtbagpilot back there ;)

[@kevincollins8014]

I am really glad to see you up there sharing the stage with them too brother , you deserve it!

[@JustPlaneSilly]

@@kevincollins8014 Sean is an awesome guy.

[@mikeryan6277]

They’re in good company.

[@BrianSiskind]

Appreciated what you said... it's about people... and make something of value to share and it will all work out. I make countless videos that no one sees, but I love doing it.

[@Wolficorntv]

Thx for posting this one Dan/Christy. Would have loved to been there. Fingers crossed for 2023.

[@JustPlaneSilly]

2024 enters the chat

[@SmittySmithsonite]

Nice! Got everyone together here! My channel is tiny compared to the heavy hitters you had on the panel here, but I notice the exact same thing. My channel started with auto repair ... and any time I show paramotoring videos, I lose subscribers and view counts are in the toilet. I've ALWAYS known in life, you can't please everyone, so I just do what I do and don't worry much about it. It's hard enough running ONE channel. I'm all set with starting another! Great stuff as always Dan & Christy! 👍🍻

[@mattf49006]

great panel...I wish this was 3 hours longer to give each one a shot at the mic....awesome job Dan and Christy

[@Parr4theCourse]

Great comments from everyone!! Thanks Jay for representing P4TC and wearing our hat!!!

[@kevincollins8014]

Yes 👍😁

[@WolfPilot]

Shameless plug for your awesome channel!!!! That and I don't have my own merch yet.... ;)

[@Parr4theCourse]

@@WolfPilot Well…… Shameless, maybe…. But you looked “highly-stylish”!

[@GlensHangar]

Great panel! Now that C-FMVU is in the air - we'll be at Airventure in 2023, where we can hopefully see panels like this in person.

[@Kyzyl_Tuva]

I love all you guys but Josh and Juan Brown are the best IMO. Follow their lead y’all

[@vincehorrigan6113]

Thanks guys for posting this, I follow Juan, Martin, Scott and Mark but you've introduced me to a lot of new great content. P.s. In the Hanger keeps getting better. Thanks guys.

[@kevincollins8014]

This was really cool seeing so many familiar faces under one roof! Thanks for putting this together guys great show.

[@warwickkinscher5986]

Guys - thanks so much! All of those familiar faces, voices, and yes - quirks and humour - under the same tent! One of the best interviews / talk-back shows going. Thanks to each and every one of you for sharing your passion as you do!

[@bigbirdman67]

Great discussion and I wish I could have been there. I surprised myself in not knowing at least half of the participants. Looks like I need to watch more youtube videos. Great job TakingOff.

[@JLFerguson]

This was one of the highlights of OSH for me. Thanks everyone for putting this together!

[@mikercflyer7383]

Thanks for the video. since I wasn’t there I really appreciate having the opportunity to watch all my favorite content creators on KZbin. Safe travels.

[@Windtee]

This Q&A was wing-rockin' awesome! Thanks, Dan.

[@ervmoore1111]

Great stuff, outstanding standing!!

[@davegift197]

Very interesting and great advice. I liked seeing some of my favorite content creators sharing.

[@DVLITTLEPILOT]

Had to stop Video at 12:10 min in to comment . I am amazed that people can't enjoy anything that a channel puts out, as they can FF or come back When they see a video that they like. I get stoked when Pilots like myself show other adventures. Blancolirio does a cool job he has Three different contents Flying, commenting, and Dirt Biking Keep all the videos coming all of you now back to the remaining Taking off

[@fltof2]

Juan’s channel is one of the more unique ones I follow because of his mix of topics. I initially found him because of the Oroville Dam videos, and then stuck around for the flying stuff. He even used some of my footage in one of his videos. But I hardly ever watch the motorcycle stuff because I’m not into it. That’s ok, though, and I don’t really think he should split his channel. It’s Juan and he does his thing, that’s what I’m subscribed to.

[@WolfPilot]

@@fltof2 You make an EXCELLENT point inline with what Dan M. had said. From a commercial programming standpoint, if you have a "channel" usually you have different "shows" or "programs" on that "channel". I may watch the news on a channel but change channels because the next program on cooking isn't my thing, but the show after that on bush flying is.

[@SmittySmithsonite]

@@fltof2 Same here! I was into aviation, but found Juan when the Oroville dam broke. Then it just happened that he flies, AND rides dirt bikes! 2 hobbies I live for! Was funny how that worked out!

[@Seaking101]

I've watched most of your videos and was gutted not to see you here in Blighty... But this has got to be THE BEST EVER video you guys have done. Thank you Dan & Kristy.

[@frazerpeterson2857]

That was great. You are all the best! Thank you for all you do.

[@davidkoogler5266]

Now That was absolutely awesome…. Thank you!

[@Anonymous99997]

Thanks, Dan, for getting these folks together, so many of which I am faithfully subscribed to. My dream is to complete my license and be able to create content as an older flyer.

[@Parr4theCourse]

Got my PPL at 60, so its never too late . . .

[@KevinSmithAviation]

This was an awesome episode Dan and Christy, thank you. Really cool to hear from so many creators all together. Great information for those wanting to get into creating content, like myself. I haven't seen anything from Cory Robbin for a while, almost didn't recognize him. Thank you for bringing us this extra special episode. Keep up the excellent work as always. Safe sky's. 🤘🇺🇸🛩️

[@blancolirio]

Thanks for doing this Dan and Christy and sharing with everyone who could not be there! Jb

[@flyingobjects7247]

I found Blancoliro & the Mighty Luscomb during the Oroville Update days. Stayed for the aviation and his Travelogues. Less for the motorcycle stuff.

[@99kevin99]

Juan, I was so excited to get my picture with you that no sooner did I walk away from the stage and look at the picture than half my face was cut off. I’m gonna come find you again someday and get a real picture!

[@pemman]

Wow! What a great idea you two! Thanks to the panel and attendees. I so agree with Chrissie with her answer to the last audience's question and boy can see that she is flying high. Good on her! :)

[@terryrutherford2114]

You guys...Brian's the Best! haha. Thanks for the great informative video! Christie's chart leggings never get old. First saw them, and her, with Bobby on Flying Doodles. Very cute.

[@99kevin99]

[@alanmcnamara9155]

What an awesome video. Lovely to see most of my favourite aviation content creators (and BrYan) and to hear so much excellent feedback.

[@jonathanmcphail5254]

Great job guys (commenting to help algorithm 😉)!

[@danaskubic2145]

Good show, loved Chris's story,thanks for sharing.

[@thompson37]

Very interesting and useful discussion, thank you.

[@TheRenegadeAV8R]

Absolutely fantastic video Dan and Christy, a great panel as well.

[@musoseven8218]

These folk seem almost like friends, because it's a two way via the comments section. In the UK it's even more close knit as someone often knows a You Tuber or knows someone who does. I've learnt so much from all of these You Tube creators - thank you for all of your hard work. Well done and well said Christy, you were very brave and followed your heart. I wish I'd done that at 25 (when I came to a career crossroads), but I ploughed on in a high paid job that I didn't like and it did me little good by not following my dreams. I still hope one day to fly for fun though, but life goes past so fast, too fast 😉😲🙄😕✌️😊 Grab happiness when and where you can✌️👍😊😊

[@RustyCoon]

Great job everyone!

[@jamesbergman4917]

That video flew by!

[@skigolfmike]

It was fun being there and meeting all you guys.

[@WolfPilot]

That was soo fun!!!! Maybe one day when I have 40k subs, I can be up front. All the youtubers were just awesome!

[@GaryMCurran]

Poor BrYan. He got it pretty badly a couple of times there, yet, out of all of these content creators, he is in the top three favorites of mine. I am thankful for him for brightening my day. I want to go back to the commentary on Channel content. Kris brought up flying the Baron and then flying the jets, and quite honestly, I love both, because it gives us a larger insight into what flying, whether personal or for money, can accomplish and that you can do both. BrYan, great comedy channel, I love his sense of humor, but some of the best stuff I've seen from him is non-comedic stuff, his flying IFR with Martin, or accidentally shutting down the generator switch in the Comanche. That's real world, and it's not some multi-thousand hour hot shot pilot, it's you and me. People need to realize that these channels are, like Dan said, channels, with content that isn't just devoted to one thing. Trent Palmer comes to mind, he puts out some amazing stuff in addition to flying the Freedom Fox. I hope he gets the FAA to get off his back. I want to thank all of you for putting out great content that I enjoy watching, and that others enjoy watching, even if I don't watch or follow your channel.

[@waukeshapilot6462]

This should have so many more LIKES!!!!!!!!!!

[@douglascloud4484]

Awesome video guys, Go airline pilot Christy Go!!

[@ibgarrett]

I'll get through watching it, but attending it was even better. :)

[@purdueschmidt]

It was great talking to everyone. Christy thanks for the good advice!😀 Hoping this change with divorce, moving back to where I grew up, and some big future decisions brings back the passion I had and a more fulfilling life.

[@Henry-vb4hq]

Thanks for recording this forum, unfortunately the introductions were not included so I do not know many of the creators. I had hoped to attend but something happened the last minute so I could not, but at least I got the flavor. How about a repeat next year!

[@TakingOff]

I listed them all in the descriptions.

[@WolfPilot]

@@TakingOff People rarely read the description, myself included. That being said, I notice that there weren't any credits in this episode.

[@TakingOff]

@@WolfPilot If we do it again, I'll figure out a better way.

[@Jeffrey-Flys]

Great times…. Love when Christy impersonates Dave Ramsay! 😂

[@auto_pilot]

Wow, Christy, your comments at the end really struck a cord with me. I LOVE flying and have been a pilot since I was a teenager and own two airplanes now with one used as a trainer for our kids to learn to fly. I am going to send this video to them to watch because I’m hopeful that at least one will choose a career in aviation (sadly I did not) and listen to what you had to say. Thanks so much!

[@bldrv7522]

This was a lot of fun! It introduced me to several content creators with whom I was not familiar. I also enjoyed being able to speak with Dan, Martin, Scott and Juan.

[@integrator_101]

Great video guys

[@paulmorrisette1581]

AWESOME !!!!!!!!!!!!

[@lostlocalhost]

great stuff.

[@UberGeek]

I can relate to Christy's changing jobs story. I started working on my commerical license, switched to Avionics Tech, and was able to fly my C-140... But 2 years later I decided to go back to college for an engineering degree, not in aviation. 30 years later I really want to get back to aviation and ponder what if I never left Avionics. Thanks to these creators, I am getting the encouragement to do so. I was at Oshkosh this year but missed this event.

[@hillcrestannie]

I don’t follow everyone on that stage and with that being said the channels I do watch is mainly to see what I can do to be a safer pilot . If you pay attention you can learn something from every video. I watch Brian because I like to laugh. Thanks to all of you and what you do.

[@rickashford4005]

Anytime BrYan gets the idea to create a serious video, all he has to do is bring his little smart-ass clone 😆😂🤣 with him. There is your comic relief right there. "Dad... isn't this where you can marry your cousin???" SMDH....🤣🤣🤣🤩

[@AirshowStuffVideos]

02:45 - Shout out to Landon!!! We hear you asking for us! Unfortunately we weren't invited to the panel but our advice is to stay engaged with the aviation community. Keep learning and making friends! Don't be shy to ask for advice or help from people you respect. The aviation world is extremely small and the people you meet along the way - even before you are in flight training - will be the biggest source of help and encouragement you can imagine throughout your entire career. Opportunities come to those who show up, so do your best to be an active part of the community! If you somehow see this, get in touch with us and we'll come find you next year!

[@TakingOff]

Hey! Obviously, we didn’t invite everyone, will try to do better next year. Would love to have you if we do it again.

[@ecossearthur]

Boom Boom!! 💥

[@i.r.wayright1457]

Content creators. When I think of aviation and fun I think of Jimmy's World. When I think of aviation and safety it's Juan Brown and Dan Grider. When I think of aviation and dedication to innovation and attention to details, no one beats Mike Patey. When I think of aviation and it's usefulness, there is Missionary Bush Pilot. Then there is the free Cessna 401. Now, if there was one moment in all of the creative content I watched, one stands out to me above all the rest. That was when Jimmy Webb's son came out of the Hobby Shop, dressed as a young Tom Cruise, carrying the most expensive plane they sold. OMG, I'm still laughing about that one. Pure Genius.

[@buckshot704]

Martin hit the nail on the head: it’s about the people. ✈️😎👍

[@Xanthrochroid]

To all content creators, please consider posting on Rumble. I would definitely watch all of you there.

[@Heathfx5]

around 28:00 I sometimes record my own flights either because I'm doing something challenging that I want to debrief or I'm flying somewhere really cool. I have a hard and fast rule: If the engine is running, I don't touch the cameras or audio recorder. I have a homemade checklist and I added to the before start section, "recording devices set" and I added to the securing section, "recording devices stopped". Sometimes I've missed an awesome shot, but so freakin' what? at least I did the important thing, which is to have a safe flight! The 2 common failures that I need to predict and prepare for during my preflight is protecting the camera from sun/overheat and providing enough electrical endurance for the camera to run non-stop. Oh yea, and I need about an hour extra during preflight to get everything set up and mounted the way I like.

[@jeffbridges666]

Would it be possible to have a list on here with links to all these people's channels ?

[@TakingOff]

Umm, yes. It’s in the description.

[@glennwatson]

How many core viewers do you have that watch every video you produce would you say (talking about the change in format topic)?

[@TakingOff]

Great question and not sure the answer. Looking at the analytics, probably 80% or more of the viewers are not subscribed.

[@scottmiller4711]

There’s only so much time in a day to watch videos and if you’re there to watch Flying Videos then that’s what you’re going to look for.

[@Saml01]

Huh. This panel didn't go in the direction I expected. Someone on the panel called it out toward the end, but it turned into a "how to KZbin" video and I was expecting to get to know some of the content creators better. Brian stole the show though. He was the punch line of more than a few jokes and that's telling. Cristy talking about her history was probably the most interesting to me because I am in a similar position. Just like the audience member that prompted the discussion; whats the right choice? Cest la vie.

[@mckadeballance8408]

I first saw Bryan on tik tok and then binged his videos on KZbin.

[@TakingOff]

Interesting.

[@JustPlaneSilly]

Thank you

[@N937LC]

I know that dufus asking the question at 17:30

[@lockedin60]

Amazing I told Cory about a year ago that being a youtube creator is having a business. It was a business. He came back and said that when his channel became a business he would shut it down. I wonder what change or when he changed his mind?

[@flycory]

I haven't filmed in a year... so I guess I have a duplicitous mind about it. And I am not saying that it's bad or good to make it a business... For me, I do it for fun. That works for me. But it is ok to also make money and run it like a business. :)

[@lockedin60]

@@flycory Good to see you in action.

[@pilotgoals62]

I would have asked a question for THE Baron Pilot's daughter. 😋 I know that studying for your pilot's cert is easier when you routinely fly with someone in a complex plane and you learn much more than you would without that experience, but I would have asked her if it had any negative results that are unexpected.

[@sethadams4871]
