500 dollars... 5200 in the flight school's 152... oh shit.

[kenan49]

500 dollars for pilot license ?! rigth now you pay in europe 10000 euros!! :D wow :D

The day the instructor says, go do three take off and landings, and then actually doing it, is a feeling only pilots can and will ever understand.

[Ashore4]

what type of plane was that after Luscombes?

[LethalHobo]

@Ashore4 North American Navion. Built in 48 for general aviation. Yes thats the same North American that designed the P-51 Mustang! Ryan took over production after a while. Yes thats the same Ryan that built the Spirit of Saint Louis =)!!

boy i wish i'd learned to fly in "this Era...................the Golden Era of Aviation.

so simple. and so cheap. now, you have to sell your first born, for the price of 'learning to fly". and everything is sooooo complex.

Imagine a time where someone wasn't grabbing your balls before you got on the plane, shoeless and beltless, just so you can be abused by the attendants.

02:58 A civil B-24 Liberator, wow.

[fernanties]

I wish it still cost less than $500 to become a pilot.

I think they found evidence of a devilish gremlin in the tank when they checked the gas 7:30.

Bugs bunny taught us what havoc those gremlins can create.

[arizonakeough]

Fantastic vintage film! Any idea where the flight training scenes were shot? Looks like Chino, CA or somewhere in that area...

[MariuzHomie]

Where do you find these?

[KLM777300er]

wtf at 07:30 ,. but other than that this is awesome!

@KLM777300er

I noticed it too.

Sounds more like someone on board has a slight touch of IBS. :)
