I LOVED instrument training! It was the the most challenging and rewarding part of flight training. I did it long before GPS, and when I looked up after an hour's flight under the hood and saw a runway waiting I realized the magic of instrument flying.

What a great way to spend your birthday, doing what you love with your Dad! Gold...

[maverick]

haha, (Austin Approach) "you filming today?" Gotta love it when you're that well known to ATC

Thank you so much for all of your hard work in the sky's!
I am a 14 year pilot in training and I am being taught by my parents who work for United Airlines as a captain of a Boeing 747. We now have our own Skyhawks 172 and it flys great!
I hope to be as good a pilot as you someday!
Thanks for all of your hard work and for all of the videos!

Happy Birthday! Have loved to watch your videos throughout my PPL training. You learn a lot from just watching more experienced pilots.

I'm a 15 year old and my dad and I are getting our licenses this summer. I just wanted to say I got the Private Pilot Blueprint and it helped so much! Thank you!

You're so lucky to have someone to safety pilot for you. I paid an instructor yesterday to go with me...I need to find someone.
Happy Birthday. Thanks for sharing.

Kind of funny; a little emotional watching this toward the end. Watching your dedication & commitment as a young man. You flying with your dad, and seeing a visible testimony that he worked hard at being a good father. Thinking I’d like to tell him “Good job...”. Then he patted you on the shoulder. Got a little misty. You tell him for me. He’s a good man.

Started my journey back into aviation last spring and I loved your channel from the beginning. Thanks your service to aviation Josh, and for being a good businessman.

Thanks again.

Hi Mr Aviation, thank you for a wonderful film and great day to be flying with Dad.Love it

[eaglechen]

Love your videos Josh. You earned my subscription. Good luck on your way to CFI or multi if you are going for those.
I would say what I love more is the way you deal with haters.
Blue skies and tail winds.

Happy Birthday, Josh! Great job on the missed aproach! Can't wait to start my PPLa in march, while watching you flying!

[sirwholland]

Can't think of a better way to spend a birthday. Congratulations!

[flycow]

Happy Birthday. Great job on that missed approach. You are more of a professional at 20 years of age that I was at 40. keep up the good work.

[scottc.]

[saisantoshsreenivasan]

HAPPY Birthday JOSH!! Thanks for continuing to post these amazing videos!

Hey Josh, Happy birthday!! you are such a inspiration to me you are the whole reason iv gotten in to aviation. I am only 13 but i hope to start my flight training in the next year or so. I love flying so much tho whether its in the sim or on a commercial aircraft. Iv never been in a general aviation plane tho because i live in NM so there is not many opportunists to fly in one but the one there are i cant afford. Thank you for making these videos your the reason why i want to become a pilot.

Happy B-Day! Hope you have THE BEST DAY EVER

Excellent camera work! Looks like GoPro! The x-plane Airfoil Labs 172 has Nav stack with Garmin 430/AP, very similar to your stack. Editing in some x-plane shots to complement your live videos would be excellent. Also, editing in the Appr plates at full resolution, low en-route, etc. I know. I know, lots of extra work! Keep in mind that most training videos, Jepp, King, Sportys are all dated. There is endless positive cash flow in royalties. They just keep on comin! Using Final Cut Pro allows some animation, chromakeying. Example fly a complete route in x-plane ( with Pilotedge ATC, including checklists, walkarounds etc) and then fly the same route live. There are some publishers out there that would be very interested! Good luck!
PS Try using your feet more in low chop to keep wings level and on GS. You seem a bit busy on the yoke. I could be completely wrong on this because it is hard to see your feet. This is a tip an old instructor gave me that really smoothed out my flying. Keep up the good work!
