To find different categories of videos, click on the playlist button near the top.

Ever since I started my aviation journey back in May 2007 I have wanted to share my experiences to others to give people a better picture of what being a helicopter pilot is all about. So far I have helped 30+ people obtain their some kind of helicopter certification.

Go up to the playlists button to see the various videos, ranging from seeing various types of helicopters, instructional videos, to experiences that I have had.

Please, if you have a request of a video that isn't posted, just let me know and I will do my best to get something made.
About Me:
 
I am a 2,600 hour ATP, Gold Seal CFI + CFII Helicopter pilot with my Instrument Ground Instructor Rating (IGI), currently flying at Ft. Rucker in Alabama as and IP (Instructor Pilot) in primary division.My flight experience includes instruction, tours, photo flights, pipeline patrol, search&rescue (one time), and ferry flights. I have time in the Robinson R22 and R44, Bell 206B/L and the MD500.

Long-term goal as a helicopter pilot are to eventually to being doing EMS and Utility work, but enjoy any type of flying as long as the people I'm working with are enjoyable.

As you can tell I enjoy making videos, much of what I have experienced as a helicopter pilot in the past couple years.

My goals as a helicopter pilot is to be as safe as I can, and encourage people to give me feedback on things that can be done differently/better/safer so that I and anyone watching these videos will be SAFE.

As of right now I'm working on my A&P and AGI License to further my knowledge in the industry.

Other things I enjoy include working on cars, backpacking, traveling, and spending time with family.

Awesome videos. I actually decided to begin my aviation journey after spending a weekend with UNC's Medivac crew. The most amazing opportunity and thankfully I've been able to spend a few more on call with them. Butttt still only enough money to go for the fixed wing private. That will soon change.... or at least it better
