Christy Finds her Happy Place in Scotland - A Piper Cherokee!

[@zappatx]

Christy's a great pilot! You can see it in her eyes. But watching this it seems like their speeds were close to minimums.. I have a request - Because I can't yet do it.. - Do a Nebraska Sandhills flyover film!! Maybe that's something for Josh but it's absolutely majestic!!

[@halepauhana153]

Thanks for the history notes about the airfield. The Cherokee is a great plane!

[@fredogden936]

Thank you. I especially enjoyed this segment since I fly a Cherokee (1967) and also worked for a Dallas based (later Houston based) offshore driller that had several rigs based in the North Sea that operated out of Aberdeen. I use my Cherokee to commute between F46 east of Dallas and MEZ in western Arkansas.

[@astircalix4126]

Before taking off always check the free movement of the controls. Good flight!

[@publicmail2]

And they are correct, actually look at all control surfaces, many pilot don't they just say it.

[@pilotchristy]

We did a full runup and preflight, the video was edited heavily for time. I’m sure no one wants to see me do a mag check for the 3,000th time. 😂

[@astircalix4126]

@@pilotchristy You guys are doing a great job spreading the word about safety; I bet you checked the free movement of the flight controls; Just let me focus on the matter based on the fatal accident of Dale "Snort" Snortgrass ; the NTSB found that he did not do it , so the "why" question is still unclear. *Thank you for being so kind to respond to my comment* !

I rented a 172 at High Wycombe outside London once, did some local sightseeing with a CFI. Was so much fun.

[@wstubbs8556]

Although I live in Texas, I married and lived in France for quite a long time. So from my hanger home at DHW, Houston, to Yvrac, Bordeaux flying club, I fly both places every year almost since 1984. This year, I flew in Gran Canaria as well in a Nice 172sp.

[@KevinSmithAviation]

Excellent episode Dan and Christy, thank you. Christy, you definitely looked a lot more comfortable than you did in the gyro. 😉 I love hearing and seeing WWII history. Thank you for adding that in. This was definitely a beautiful place. Keep up the excellent work as always. Safe skies 🤘🇺🇸🛩️

[@Mrsournotes]

Excellent video you two. Enjoyed that bit of history!

[@davejt1967]

Anyone else mentioned that the Union Flag is upside down? Nice bit of history.

[@Autocross7]

No matter what other airplane I fly, I always love my Cherokee 151!

[@danielbasovitch5087]

Christy, Congratulations to your husband for getting his ATP! That's great !

[@FlyingEyesWorld]

What a fantastic trip, not just over Scotland but into aviation history as well! Great video 😎

[@paulgrogan8032]

Its been decades since I've flown in a small single engine aircraft, that said it's remarkable how quiet they are now, in contrast.

[@clarencewiles963]

Thanks to Deen ! For making this possible ! Also the history lesson. Fun from the air

[@Coops777]

What a treat for the eyes! I want to visit there. Great video thanks team 😀

[@carlos76c]

Excellent video !

[@latmask00]

Thank you!

[@patrickheavirland3599]

Good morning from Minnesota! Great episode!

[@musoseven8218]

Another fantastic video - looked like lots of fun😊✌️👍

[@nea273]

6:55, that is my face looking for F69 Air Park, Plano.

[@glennwatson]

Ah the wolf pilots home.

[@SuperRealityKid]

Welcome to Britain Christy 😎😍

[@josephsener420]

Three adults and fuel! Beefy for a Warrior!

[@davidedes7198]

Not a warrior it’s a Cherokee 180 c 3 adults & 2.5 hrs fuel no problem…look at the T/o run !!!

[@johnnunn8688]

Can’t believe the owner of the airfield, would fly the Union Jack upside down 🤦‍♂️.

[@iann.9257]

Yes, I did. I am from Australia and have noticed this a number of times in different places including while in England.

[@ecossearthur]

Boom Boom!!

[@glennwatson]

I'm guessing the term Orbit is not common in the US based on Christy's confusion. We often use orbit but also I've heard 360 used as well.

[@TakingOff]

Orbit is a foreign term for us Americans.

[@keithrickson8522]

I am an American and I know the term, but just because I flew in Australia for a few years. It was a bit of a shock for me just to be able to communicate with other pilots, dumb little words like that would trip me up.

[@glennwatson]

@@keithrickson8522 I'm Australian, how did you find the rules differences between the US and Australia, I'm about to make a trip and plan to get a little flying in when I come ot the US. I know a couple little things we do different, mid-crosswind joins rather than 45 degree downwind, oblique base joins, "flight planned route" rather than "as filed", no left/right on CTAF for circuit directions, upwind is the same as the departure leg. Anything else that's obvious?

[@keithrickson8522]

@@glennwatson Hey nice to talk to an Aussie pilot! See that's what I'm talking about. It's not really one thing here or there, it's like a whole different world, especially when I got into the regs, IFR and commercial stuff, it just felt like I was in way over my head and almost needed to start from scratch. If I was you, I would fly with an instructor as much as possible when you're here until you feel comfortable. I can fly a plane any day, but communication and regulation was really hard to get up to speed on.

[@igclapp]

I've heard it used in the US, and I wouldn't hesitate to use it there myself, though I think it's more commonly said by helicopter pilots.

There was none.

[@kimberlywentworth9160]

The pilot in the left seat is making me nervous. Not looking or paying attention. No checklists, ATIS and so on.

[@andrewagner2035]

Check the fuel, check the oil, kick the tyres and light the fires.

[@danmurphy1742]

@@andrewagner2035 And forever fiddling with the mike, was most annoying.

[@johnnunn8688]

How do you know he’s not paying attention?

[@pilotchristy]

I just want to remind everyone that the video is edited quite a bit for time purposes. We did a full preflight, runup, etc. So all is good! 😊
