FLIGHT CHOPS DISCLAIMER:
I am a "weekend warrior" private pilot, I fly for fun with no intentions of going commercial. 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 the 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.

[@TheBappy56]

I absolutely LOVE how you brought in the magic of flight for the people with less experience to enjoy and the training aspect for the experienced people to learn from in the same video. I would venture to say that this is my favorite Flight Chops episode, EVER!!! XD

[@FlightChops]

Feedback appreciated! This is exactly what we were going for with this one - glad you felt the balance was good.

[@Feintgames]

Agree completely. Very cool video.

[@kommanderk3247]

FlightChops you should take them to Oshkosh... that’s an experience

[@kaliahpapequash9177]

HappyBappyAviation nice

[@TheFinerPoints]

I agree. The editing on this episode is next level.

[@normk5761]

'Does mom know about this?' If I only had a dollar for every time my kids asked me that.... Really fun video Steve!

[@steveo1kinevo]

That's it! I am flying to Disney Land! Who wants to join? Fun Vid 👍🏼

[@letsfly4553]

I purchased an Abel Planet headset with active outside noise cancelation, turn on the switch and everything goes silent even in a loud room. [takes a battery] What an amazing discovery... While running a sound board for a church I let the worship leader [Philip Bardowell who worked with the Beach Boys] try them on and you should have seen his eyes light up. The con...They are made too delicate and you have to treat them with kids gloves because they break so easily.

[@quattro4468]

Gamer moment I mean reddit moment

[@mattguthmiller]

I love it! Such a fun use of GA and awesome video.

[@JasonM74]

Wow...Favorite KZbinr and favorite Podcaster all in one episode? And the adorable daughters to boot! How could one not enjoy seeing their reaction? Nice job dads.

[@bachian]

That was pretty awesome! This is all about aviation spirit, to make dreams come true. Your doughter will never forget.

[@tyler4068]

Alex Enns It's doesn't get any better. Aviation can do that!

[@sadenuttie2234]

Many you did.......

[@stevecastro22]

There is no greater sound than a child's laugh. Awesome video Steve, you have a great family there.

[@lovingoutdoors5112]

As a student pilot and father of two, the girls reaction and excitement to the destination gave me goosebumps. I love it and I can’t wait to share my love of flying with my family. Way to keep the magic alive Steve.

[@fcarvajalbrown]

That's a beautiful aircraft.

[@bird_birdroblox8210]

PhilBrownC ish

[@zhangbryann]

It looks a bit gloated. The long wings make it look better though

[@JordaniKrea]

Well the aircraft is beautiful just like your profile pic you’re welcome

[@larrykorona5502]

Love the way the girls ask :"Does mommy know?" After finding our they are heading to Disney.

[@ryandoe11]

Wow i think this earns the best dad in the world award?? Your daughters are so lucky, and so are you to have such sweet girls.

[@mitchtalbot9211]

Ryan how

[@geoffreyfield6686]

Best video of the year. I laughed, I cried with the girls reactions, I made notes, I rewinded parts to watch again. The intertwining of the two videos was priceless. Dad, uummm Dads, well done. Cheers

[@amjtech]

"Does mommy know?" Classic......

[@gokulkalaiselvan5531]

Flying has been a dream since my childhood. You are a great inspiration for me when it comes to flying. love all your videos.. cheers to all your efforts and happie flying Flightchops... :)

[@FlightChops]

Thanks and keep the dream alive! You'll get there!

[@4crevis]

Your Daughters are so sweet... i had tears in my eyes.

[@THEORIGINALURBANCREW]

This video put a huge smile on my face. Thanks for all of the good content and keep it up!

[@westnoble1020]

This is true magic. This is what GA was meant for. This video was amazing. Emotional feels as well. Great video Steve!

[@stan8235]

You are absolutely right, Steve, that was what GA is all about. Great video. Thanks for sharing your trip with us, and the girls.

[@Bamahut]

And this is one of the many reasons why I love flying and working toward getting my wings. You guys made your daughters so happy! This is what being a father is all about!

[@Aviation101]

Awesome Steve. Just Awesome.

[@FlightChops]

+MrAviation101 - thanks Josh, glad you enjoyed it. I need to try to at least partially catch up to your level of training! Well done getting all the way to CFII

[@leado57]

Genius 😂

[@steveschamp1095]

Absolutely loved that!! This video shows exactly what general aviation is all about! Becoming a better pilot and sharing aviation with your friends and family.

[@bkrone2]

Very cool to see the kid's excitement. That's the fun of GA.

[@bwagenberg]

Smiling ear to ear. So many great things in this video. Bravo!!

[@fuzzdad2]

This was the very first video I watched from you about six years ago. I used to fly helicopters in the Army and minor GA but decided years ago it wasn't my future...but I get to live your career through your videos and I am grateful for that. Stay safe, keep dreaming, and thank you for being you.

[@TheCptCoy]

"I put Frozen on there too" "But we like Incredibles!" "Good girls, I was just testing you..."

[@jasonjohnston185]

That's definitely what flying is all about. Always awesome to see the Jason & Steve combo, both you guys do a fantastic job. With all the other negative stuff out there today it's just great to have videos like this! Thanks to both of you!

[@SyberPrepper]

So glad you dads could have this very special time with your daughters. Great video.

[@Ashwin-zg7rt]

Brought a big smile on my face!! Your kids are so cute! God bless you and your families!

[@facebook2k7]

Wonderfully done, cherished experience that's priceless. Thank you very much for sharing.

[@djphilippa]

You are right Steve, this is what I'm doing my flying training for. I've a little more of a hurdle to jump as I need to cross the big puddle called the Pacific Ocean. But I'm looking forward to doing things similar to this with my family too. Thanks for sharing. 😁

[@azaviation2042]

This is an amazing video and captures the GA spirit in the US perfectly. It must be amazing for you to make these kind of memories with your family. Thank you for sharing the video.

[@DiamondAircraftInd]

Great video! We love to see our fantastic DA42 in there. Make sure you drop by at our place should you ever happen to be in Austria. Always happy landings! #WeFlyDiamondAircraft

[@FlightChops]

I'd actually really like to do that - can you please email me to start the conversation? We intend to take production international very soon! flightchops at gmail dot com

[@jungy9001]

Awesome video, i enjoyed it more than I thought. Family is the best

[@thunderbolt513]

The laughs on those girls tells everything. That's the best reward any dad could wish for.

[@flylikeyoumeanit9062]

This was a beautiful surprise, one that your daughters will remember forever. It warmed my heart watching their response. Great video!

[@goatflieg]

This is absolutely what general aviation is all about! Very cool. I'd also like to add my own shout out to Ed for the landing clip and transportation. I also know the thrill of being able to help Steve out with some video and support. Gotta love it all.

[@dixfer203]

During 2004, the DA42 became the first diesel-powered fixed-wing aircraft to perform a non-stop crossing of the North Atlantic. In June 2010, a DA42 powered by Austro AE300 engines became the first aircraft to be publicly flown on algae-derived jet fuel.

[@airbxnee]

I flew LA-SF-LA last month - looks way more comfortable in a DA42 than the 172 haha. Priceless faces, loved it!

[@mattf49006]

great editing between the check ride and flight..brought back memories of my kids on their first cross country adventures...thanks both of you

[@CaptCamel]

Awesome man, making memories they'll never forget, and instilling that love of aviation in the next generation...hard not to smile watching this video!

[@RogersPhotographyGuilford]

My Dad & Mom flew us down in their Piper Cherokee the year it opened in 1971 and also when it was under construction as well. It was indescribably exciting. We stayed in the contemporary hotel which was like being in the future. I'm thankful for that opportunity. Being Private Pilot and owning an aircraft is a luxury most can't afford. Enjoy it while you have it!

[@iflyc77]

Awesome! How fun. Your content is absolutely the best. That is what GA is all about

[@prof2yousmithe444]

Steve. this was simply an awesome video!!! The girls' reactions was out of this world! I hope they had fun! This is such a great channel for the GA community!

[@asokoniso]

This was pure gold! I absolutely love this!

[@trading-university.]

Keep up the good work Mr Chops. Love your work. Oh, and your tail dragger videos saved me a bunch on a tail wheel conversion to a Super Decathlon! So thanks again.

[@MTGThrownDown]

What a awesome video! That makes me smile. What a awesome story and thanks for sharing

[@Braeden123698745]

"Wait does mommy know?" Priceless.

[@KenLince]

...great video as always. Really enjoyed this one. I love flying with my 3 boys...super fun but I'm usually solo with them so it's a handful. Safe travels...

[@mylesspear]

New favorite episode. Sooooo Cute! Love your work steve! Keep up the great work!

[@SuperDave21]

Awesome video .... your girls are precious! Glad they had fun!!

[@elkabong6429]

I just watched the segment again of when you tell the girls they are going to Disneyland, so cute! You are a couple of good dads!

[@AttentiveDragon]

Loved this one. One of the things that has me very excited about working towards my own private license is the prospect of sharing my love of flight with my kids, and using flight to make special memories.

[@jakelonganbach]

Best reaction ever, hope I can do that with my kids one day. Great video, Flight Chops!!!

[@niklaspilot]

That was SO adorable! Loved the video Steve. I’m having my third flight lesson on Wednesday and loving every minute of it!

[@Mrcaffinebean]

Another great video, clearly you guys are both great dads and pilots. Keep up the videos!

[@herbertolmo1052]

Joy of flight, Beautifully shot, Excellent story telling, AND you are giving away $1000.00 for flight training..? Best KZbin channel ever! :)

[@FlightChops]

Thanks Paul! :)

[@rammstein1903]

[@edgyyoutuberuser5991]

rammstein1903 I'm 13 and never been to disneyland, never been outside of my country, you have fortunate kids.

[@dawidmejza4925]

edgy youtuber user how what country Do u live in how have u never been to a diffrent country

[@edgyyoutuberuser5991]

GamerZ X Mejza I live in Finland never been on a plane, never been to a different country either.

[@dawidmejza4925]

edgy youtuber user OH right i hope u fly to a diffrent country some time soon ☺😊

[@theblueazumarill8014]

edgy youtuber user I also live in finland. But hey, havent you ever been out of finland or even been on a plane? Wow, im surprised, especially when tickets are quite affordable.

[@Redchrome1]

Really love this DA42 content and I'd love to see more!

[@AdamLoya]

Definitely one of my goals when I have a family. Great video!

[@MrBrightlight66]

Its true. This is a priceless experience. Beautiful experience and tks for sharing.

[@gorway7]

Awesome pair of dads - just loved the reaction of your adorable 'precious cargo'.

[@darrinmoore7475]

Awesome video, and even better memories I’m sure!

[@luispru945]

That's what being a DAD is all about!!! This is a great video!!

[@tellis4390]

DA-42. Reminded me to review your ride with Ali three years ago. Glad you're back into finishing your IFR. Thank for letting us tag along.

[@vegasaviation2243]

This is what General Aviation is all about. Great video as always, sir!

[@letsfly4553]

Awesome job Daddy Chops!!!! I plan to have one of those trips to Disney World next spring.

[@jimsteele9975]

I still hear from two ladies who were exchange students (one from Sweden and another from France) that I flew to Orlando to visit Disney World back in '82......when Veronica (the Swede) visited with her family of three children they all stopped by Tallahassee (In '96)for a day while in transit and I got to fly her and her two girls for a brief sightseeing tour of our state Capitol, something that they had never done before since GA is quite limited in Europe.

[@rpmathis]

This is best aviation content anywhere. So original so well done!

[@FlightChops]

+Rob Mathis - thanks!

[@JoseAlfonsoChavez]

Loved this episode! One of your best!

[@banjobear3867]

This is so adorable. I'm just a paramotor guy now but this makes me want to get rated so badly because I would give anything to do this for my future kids one day. This makes me smile uncontrollably.

[@clearofcloud2038]

This was great, educational and massively entertaining. As an aspiring instructor and new Dad, I loved both Jason's checkout and the flight with the girls !! (Even my other half watched this one !!!)

[@FlightChops]

Awesome! Really cool to hear the other half enjoyed it too! And congrats on the new dadhood! It's a fun ride!

[@clearofcloud2038]

It's been fun so far - if I can get her into flying I'm sorted !!

[@lmartinez3633]

Nice family surprise, good that aviation allows you to enjoy such adventures

[@noahtrouten6399]

Very awesome Steve, got into general aviation with my grandpa who died in 09, he flew Titan ultralight. Going towards my private license had my first Young Eagles flight last weekend love all your videos keep those flight chops Sharp!!

[@gokulkalaiselvan5531]

i realized how excited and happy you were, into the moment of making the process for this flight than the girls were much about Disneyland... Flying makes our day.. love it.. :)

[@PaulA-zp7hn]

If I had kids, I would do this for sure and often. What a wonderful gift to give them.

[@jacobmunning9972]

I loved how he tried to fool the instructor into looking off to the left to look at the blue angels! AWESOME! #TFP

[@ronycamille]

Very Thorough with the pre-flight briefing I like it!

[@orangecounty60]

I use go to that airport as a kid all the time in Fullerton. That's awesome what you did for you daughters.

[@nicktheav8r269]

I enjoyed both aspects of the training and the whole reason for the training. What a great use of GA, I love flying GA around Southern California

[@Enzo-ek7zk]

Wow your a great dad! Any kid would be lucky too have such a nice and fun dad like you are!

[@TheWhiels]

Dude, I love your channel. You inspire me to want to fly.

[@joecarpenter4522]

Steve, that was awesome man! Y'alls little girls are absolutely precious; I love how my kiddos tend to fall asleep in the airplane on practically every flight :)Definitely grab that instrument rating and commercial; you'll love em both!

[@JoelSulman]

I love this video! Nice work guys!

[@Rasmorak]

I want to fly for Airlines, but this right here is what it's all about. You're a fantastic father.

[@richardwilliams6256]

Awesome and touching. Beautiful girls and family.

[@Tracomaster]

Cheers! uhm do you need an extra 19 y/o son maybe? I mean I kinda need an awesome dad maybe :D Good job combining two days and scenarios together! Interesting despite the "normal" plane (compared to what we have been seeing lately here ;) )da42 is beautiful though! It's funny how many things are the same in the pilot selection for the air force I did and real life flight. Shame my medical isn't up to par. edit: not a kids person but always makes me smile when kids are that happy. also, watching the incredibles instead of frozen +1. good parenting

[@FlightChops]

Thanks for the feedback on the edit. Glad you enjoyed the story telling style.

[@n3c2o]

Or maybe a 29 year old from germany?

[@MrSantyy510]

Tracomaster this is the best

[@00honeybadger]

Awesome video! I can still remember my first GA flight when I was ten. And yesterday I had my first solo!

[@johnmeye]

Your productions are always first class👍😉

[@danpeace6394]

Great video! I really enjoyed this one.

[@liamman13]

Awesome, what a moment! Looks like a beautiful plane too

[@REBooner30]

Made me smile. What a special surprise for the girls. 👍🏻

[@djdalite]

Dads of the year, awesome episode

[@davidjessee7701]

Great video.. took my 6 year old first flight in non commercial .. Beechcraft ciearra.. she loved it..she really loved when we flew over her school...

[@rjclark2736]

Outstanding video! Absolutely loved seeing how excited the girls were, and what an awesome surprise. It's things like this which will ultimately help get far more girls into aviation in the longer term, maybe helping to redress how imbalanced it currently is. Also really nice seeing the DA42; I did my CPL and IR in one a few years back, and this really brought back the training. Top job! Much respect from the UK. :)

[@Northstar_004]

Love the preflight brief! its good to see discipline!
