Taking A New Challenger Owner On His First Flight In Challenger!

[@sidneywhitaker9972]

Really enjoy your videos! I am 63 years old, and have always been interested in general aviation. Started my lessons back in 1998. Soloed in a Cessna 150, and then got several hours of solo flight. Then went through a nasty divorce, and give it up. Big regret! My brother was a pilot back in the 80s. He took me up on my very first flight in an airplane. He flew a Beechcraft queen air. We took off from South Georgia, and flew to Miami Florida. Awesome experience. Thought about purchasing an aircraft like yours, get trained and checked out in it, so I can experience my bucket list of flying. Your channel has inspired me! Keep up the good work!

Great video. I love going on long flights just to stretch both the plane and my legs. Can’t wait for warmer weather

[@TheJonjonj]

I built a challenger 2 back in the late 90s, had a lot of fun with it, we made lots of in-flight videos long before the GoPro ever came out, it wasn't easy holding a big video camera and flying lol

[@TheJonjonj]

I'd love to see footage like that 😆

[@markbarry9945]

@TheJonjonj I'll see if I can find the videos and I'll post them

Why didn’t you let her fly, she wanted to fly.

[@TheJonjonj]

Next time for sure! The first flight in an airplane like this can be overwhelming and she had her cellphone so I informed her that keeping both hands on that cellphone was critical! But next time for sure!

WoW a perfect landing. The instrument panel of your plane put a charger in run off your electrical system so you can use your camera. 2/4 2024 Springfield pa.

The camera in the cockpit is connected I turn off the wing camera I don't want to run a wire out that far! Thanks for watching!
