I’m 23 and been asking myself this. I’m starting ppl.

I stopped flying after 60 hours into training 3 years ago. 50 years old now. Economy tanked, less disposable income and thought, what the heck is my mission? I can't just take off for burger runs. Seems like a lot of money just for bragging rights and farting around in the sky. I still have that urge to finish though. Being in control of your own flight is an amazing experience.

Love the topic on doing more with piloting after 50. I am a bit confused by the comment “I am done with GA”. Was that more like “I am done with not making more out of my flying”. Technically corporate flying is still GA. Your 135 is GA. Not trying to be technical, just trying to understand where you/she is going with that comment.

Man if you're spending $35,000 on a funeral you're wasting money. Just throw me in a dumpster when I die. There's nothing left of me there. Take the money and go have fun.

Thank you for the encouragement. I am asking that question at 56 working on my Private.

great topic. where is the 210?

No power to engine means no engine no engine means no flight no flight means fall down fall down means no life meaning DEAD!!!

Dear Lord ! I never knew these fully "Cantilever" Cessna wings were so flimsy/dangerous !!!!! Thanks for letting all of us see the EYE OPENING TRUTH !

Welcome back and thank you for what you are doing. As a part 91 GA Pilot and over 55, I'm going to have to check out part 135 and see how I can serve.

Very good advice and matches my experience so far. Wish I had found your content 10 years ago. 62 years old, 40 hours of instruction towards my PPL. Enjoying learning to navigate. More doing... less thinking about flying. Thank you.

Missed you. Love this.

Yeah, brother, I was definitely wondering where you were! But I’m glad to hear that the good Lord has moved in a mighty way, and you were able to serve those voiceless individuals if find themselves in human trafficking situations. It’s definitely something that the first lady of my church has a mission that is near and dear to her heart as well. Good for you, brother, and keep up the good work. Take care, and fly well!

It might seem dry but it would be interesting to better understand what it means for the organization to operate under Part 135 and also how that is better for what the organization is doing.

Yea…. GOD Bless!!!!

Just wanted to mention the lovely Jet Provost in the background.

You are doing the lord's work. Thank you for all the videos and your works. We will always be here to support you!

Wooo congrats! and welcome back!

You are doing great work. I remember you were going to sell your plane then you restored the interior and rebuilt the engine. Keep the videos coming. Thanks

Awesome, Ted! May Abba continue to bless you on this mission. 🙏

welcome back!

Thanks for making this video...the best video I've seen on the topic. P.S. I'm sorry you had to go through this.

Hi Ted, I too am looking to move up to the 210. Looking back now, would you have bought same pressurized 210 or an unpressurized 210? I am leaning toward an unpressurized 210L. Thanx for the great video.

There is no Marathon Key. Marathon is a city, located on 13 of the middle keys, none of which are named Marathon Key. Marathon, Florida Keys is accurate or even just Marathon.

"Eddie" inspection? I think you mean eddy... Thanks for the video though.

Oh gosh, you said this was a '68, did you get the tail fixed or was that taken care of in the original recall?

excellent

By the yokes and glareshield, I can tell this is an older Cardinal, which still has the analog instruments, which is perfect for the purpose. The only surprise if not ready, is when going around, andn enough up pitch trim is in, but it's seldom a big issue. Nice video indeed.

How do you connect the audio from your headset to the camera?

Ahh yes what used to be my local airport and is still my favorite museum I miss having airbus a380s and 747s flying over my front yard at 3000 feet

They should let sport pilots get their IR.

I have questions. Why/how did you buy a plane with corrosion so bad on a spar that it has to be replaced? How long have you owned it? how has it passed annual? Pass a pre-buy? How could the spar be so corroded that it has to be replaced but it wasn't found ? How did you go through all this and still not know how to spell EDDY?

This isn’t relevant at all today

Do you need any special permits to go into the sfra?

Basically replace everything… interior… really?

Here is a question: How much over 50? I am 43 (hexadecimal, yes I use base 16 for my age now), in good health. No Pharma for me. I have been at a gym, first time in my life, been going consistently for over a year and a half. Do I stand a chance at getting hired for flying in two years from now?

I just turned 58, thank you for the encouragement.

N61655 just radio failed

Yeah, yeah….ever notice you don’t see bush pilots flying amphibs? The most practical mod for the Lske would be to put it on floats. Except for weight increase that would give access to docks, get you high enough to see dead heads, give you compartment floation for safety and increase wave tolerance…just sayin

Hi good evening. Very nice video. I work ATC in the TTZP FIR (PIARCO FIR). Can you elaborate on that strange request you received about leaving the airspace? I'm curious. Maybe I can help shed some light on it also.

Have you already sold your cardinal?

Lemme tell ya......if you ever crash in a cornfield the FIRST thing you're gonna want to do is pry all those nice avionics outa there. Because the insurance company thinks they belong to THEM now.....not you !

You should come out to the cardinal flyer meetups, we fly out to sun n fun every year

Perfect. Thank you! (maule pilot)

Excellent content but not the best video. Still you do an exceptional explanation of what's going on. If you aren't already you should consider becoming a CFI.

Good video. I've been thinking of going up there. I'm flying a PA 28 Piper Warrior. All my trips keep getting a little farther out and if there is a restaurant so much the better.

You need better audio when you are initiating a call to Potomac Approach. Can't understand anything the pilot is saying

I live in St. Petersburg and love it. There is so much aviation in the air with local multiple airports. Many planes are vectored over my house and I love it.

If you are located near Birmingham Al, Im a licensed private pilot and a licensed A&P (airframe and powerplant )mechanic looking to resharpen my pilot skills before I purchase my plane (172) in return, Im willing to trade my skills as an A&P for a few refresher lessons on the weekend...any takers

In 1969 I had an introductory flight at the age of 13 in what was then called the Rose Valley Airport. My family lived in Rose Valley maybe a quarter mile from the airport and on lazy summer days my friends and I would lay in the grass at the end of the runway and wait for airplanes to fly twenty feet overhead. I saved my first flight 'logbook' and added it to my PPL when I started flying here in Canada (at an age over 50). What a treat to see this video. My home airport is the Guelph Airpark (CNC4) and every bit as small and fun as KVKK.
