1. Flying in is a "once in a lifetime experience"? Definitely not. Do it as often as you can, in as many different aircraft as you can. There's no limit. 2. Make sure you go the full length of the runway to see all the different types - take several days to do it. 3. Check out the workshops, the lectures, the evening entertainment. 4. There's no need to leave the airport at all during the event. There is everything from breakfast to evening entertainment available there. 5. Go see anything outside Oshkosh just before or after the event. Less than 7 days on the airport is time wasted. 6. If travelling abroad, it's a great opportunity to visit Chicago too (and various other places) 7. The port-a-potties are sauna-like but they are always very clean.. 8. Take a water bottle. There are water taps to fill up for free. 9. Try not to make any new friends - you will fail!!! That's a challenge! 10. Download the app to make sure you know where all the evening entertainment is. There is too much to choose from. You will fret having to choose. 11. Be sure to watch the arrivals on the Sunday before the stat. There is so much going on that day. 12. The shops/stalls often have huge bargains on the last day. They don't want to take unsold items home.

The bus to the seaplane base is not free...but it's only $5-10 or so, round trip. Cheaper than the car parking. The boat ride around the bay is not free (or wasn't two years ago) but is still worth any small fee. Museum is free for all EAA Members at all times, and is well worth a visit. The rooftop bar is part of the Hilton; good luck getting a reservation.

Curious what the range and cruise speed is of these things. I used to fly paramotors. Can you take off with the pre-rotator? I've also hear of gyros with braking on the rotor and small wings to allow a faster cruising speed - is this a thing?

Such insight

Fantastic! A piper cub microlight for a base price of a quarter of a million quid. Aviation for the masses….again.

Thanks for this, I'm going! I can't make out all of Dave's words concerning the rooftop bar?

People who scoff at gyroplanes don't really understand the concept! I am not talking about the theory, or how you fly them, I am talking about WHY you fly them, and that is because they are fun! They don't fly fast and they don't fly far, but you can pootle about in a gyro, 500 feet up, looking down on the world and taking aviation back 70 years when it was simple and nobody bothered you. The modern gyro is comfortable, well equipped and safe. If you really must use it to go anywhere serious, (rather than popping over to the next airfield for a rather expensive hamburger) then it will fly about as far as your bladder will allow and it will handle any reasonable weather you might chance upon on the way. You wont do it quickly, but as a relaxing way to travel they are hard to beat!

Is there any troroldl airplane props??

Gyroplanes today are ABNORMAL. Dela Cierva's original invention can land softly without any forward speed at all. Just like a slow elevator. Gyros today cannot do that anymore. So basically there's no advantage over airplanes.

Brilliant guest. I stayed with Paul in 2017 while on my way round the USA. A sunrise flight the next morning over Lake Tahoe for a photo shoot was one of the highlights of my trip.

That's an underwhelming power-to-weight ratio of 1:1 . 🤦‍♂ facepalm TurbAero's P2W is 2:1. The price is also twice that of TurbAero's. I'm a triple engineer that invents in energy, engine, propulsion, mobility, robotics and other high-tech arenas. I'm developing novel engines for novel personal air mobility solutions with the ultimate goal of a integrated personal air-land vehicle [iPAL] Look it up... but I'm not on the libtard LinkedIn anymore.

Part of this interview really gave me the giggles. Question - Do you still have a Jet Ranger? Answer - No, I looked this morning and I haven't got one. I guess you have to be a member of Pink Floyd to forget what helicopters you own.

Just subscribed 🎉

Bell 47. The best. 3 seater. 6 cylinder. Love it. Got my lincense in 90 . Burbank California. 35 bx an hour back then. Today it’s 500 bx h. Flight lessons. Just crazy.

Robinson. Suck. No room. To light. Vibrate a lot. But hey when you have do ? You can chose

Nick Mason has always been an interesting gentleman. Great interests in motorsports and aviation.

Worked on and in his house in London lovely man.

How about a video with a gyro-pilot trying to fly a helicopter?

This is click bait when you never get to see the bloody engine

Brendan O'Brien is an absolute legend! 👍

Me and my partner has visited Guy Ritchie's airfield and restaurant. It is a magnificent place, Guy was absent from there when we visited recently. The restaurant menu from a chef's and food writer's point of view ought to be more of a wide choice of cuisines taking into mind with special dietary requirements like diabetes type 2 and type 1 diets. But well done Guy for a wonderful day out.

Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon 1973 ( Iwas 15th yo.) accompanied me through my youth, just like the album Meddle, which was formative for my development in the field of music... Thank you for that...

Didn't he once own a Hunter or a pair of hunter jets? I thought it was weird that wasn't mentioned? Or has the Mandela effect struck again?

As i was learning to fly- it was unforgettable to join the momentary laps of reason_Tour at "Valle Hovin" Oslo back in 1988! : Listening to Learning to fly, was unforgettable experience :) Thank you all ! for the Music !

I only recently found out David Gilmour is a pilot. I had no idea Nick Mason was as well. Great story about these two sharing AC resources. That's really cool. Keep the brown side down! Cheers!

"Learning to fly" Pink Floyd.

"Money" Keep your hands off my stash"

Nick Mason’s book on pink floyd, Inside Out is a cracker read. his sense of humour is unique and infectious!

Dark Side of the Moon....my favorite album still. PF were a bunch of talented intellects. Not surprised he got his PPL. Greetings from sunny and warm St. Petersburg, Florida.

Great stuff,I am pleased he is able to support aviation,how about the peoples mosquito project that would welcome some high profile publicity.

Watched this at 5am this morning (Monday 3rd June 2024), so a bit late to the party. Very interesting and very clearly presented presentation. Thankyou.

If he flies as well as he played let's go!

Interestingly I ve just upgraded to the A30 from the A20. Great looking headset and like all Bose products, great quality. Sound quality is better, but my initial thought on the ANR, is that it’s not quite as good as the A20. Does anyone else think that? I fly an RV8.

Anyone associated with Pink Floyd is anti-Semitic.

Ken Wallis beat you to it by about 60 years. Google him up and be amazed.

great presentation Afandi

I was offered a factory new Carbon Design FM250 Vampire II 912 with parachute but analog gauges for 83700€ and it's a good looking plane with aerodynamics to go 240km/h. I thought that was better value than any other plane I know of. And buying it shared with 4 or 8 owners really make the costs manageable or borderline insignificant. I had an Evektor for 2 years including hangar and I felt no financial burden from it and its calendar was wide open because people don't fly that much.

Sorry…lost me after 10 mins…
