good stuff man! this was the first video i came across when i decided to research the beech skipper a bit upon learning that i would be training in one with LFS, and indeed i have flown on many occasions now in "lima foxtrot romeo", and her sister "lima foxtrot tango" during the early stages of my training. these days i own my own PA - 28, but i the skipper is certainly an endearing little plane, in my opinion
haha wow...another solo video with a song about flying....hey man at least it wasnt the top gun theme for the trillionth time...this song fits getting your ppl so perfectly though....coming down is the hardest thing really describes approach and landing pretty well....i dunno if its exactly the hardest thing...but its up there...great job though dude...no one can take that away from you...ill be doing this after a medical and a few more duals....
Best to solo at 16, get your Private pilot license afterward, get your instrument, go to college for any degree you want - then go to some cheap flight school to get your commercial ratings etc to become an Airline pilot.
@saloontamoon In the United States, you can start your pilots license training at any age. To solo, you must be at 16 years or older. You can get your US FAA Private Pilots license at 17 years old.
congratz on your first solo. I used to do some work flying jabbies up at hoxtan before it closed down i use to see those Skippers all the time. Which airport did u go to when hoxton shut?
Awesome Landings! I love the little Skipper!
