Channel Title: Friendly Skies Film Channel Description: As a recently certificated pilot, I hope to share my aviation adventures over the next few years while attending Worcester Polytechnic Institute in central Massachusetts. There is so much to be learned on every flight about how our national aviation system operates, from airspace and communications, to fixed base operators and airport diners. Modern video sharing and filming techniques allow my peers and I to capture nearly lost information about flying that has only appeared in print until today. Additionally, I intend to bring my unique computer graphics skills to the community, as well. <video> Fly to a Deserted Island in a Cessna 172 - Abandoned Walker's Cay Resort: A Bahamian Paradise Description: Season 3, Episode 7 The second half of my Bahamas adventure with Jeremy and his Cessna 172. I've been dreaming about this tropical island paradise for over three years, and I couldn't believe that I was lucky enough to finally go out and see it. It's still a crazy pipe dream, but actually going there has inspired me to take the dream a little more seriously, and work towards someday managing the construction of Walker's Cay Version II.

Description: Season 3, Episode 6 I've always felt that YouTube pilots give the whole community an unrealistically good impression. That's great, because anybody watching is likely to hold themselves to our high standards, but I think it's equally as important to know that not everyone has the same standards. Although you should always do your best to be the best pilot you can be, it's ok to make mistakes, and that's often how we learn. These are just a few of the silly things, and some not so silly things, that will likely happen to you in your first 250hrs of flying.

Well, you can with little more than a Cessna 172! Many people don't want to attempt the journey with fewer than two engines, but honestly, I would take on the warm waters of the Bahamas any day rather than the 100ft pine trees and dense woods of Massachusetts.

Deciding not to go flying when it's too windy, not taking that extra bag because it's too heavy, or not flying to that further airport because it's too far. These are the little choices that a good pilot makes to keep them and their passengers safe. Let's celebrate those little accomplishments, but first, look at some of the pitfalls of fuel exhaustion.

Description: Season 3, Episode 10 Yup, the actual eclipse was just about as uninteresting as I thought it would be, but the events surrounding it proved to be rather entertaining! Then again, someone told me once that watching fireworks from the air was a totally lame experience, and I think it's one of the best things I've ever done flying, so don't take my word for it! I'm also happy to report that the food was excellent at KIJD, and they did not spill it all over Ben.

Description

As a recently certificated pilot, I hope to share my aviation adventures over the next few years while attending Worcester Polytechnic Institute in central Massachusetts. There is so much to be learned on every flight about how our national aviation system operates, from airspace and communications, to fixed base operators and airport diners. Modern video sharing and filming techniques allow my peers and I to capture nearly lost information about flying that has only appeared in print until today. Additionally, I intend to bring my unique computer graphics skills to the community, as well.
