"Helping you live your aviation dreams."
INSPIRE - TEACH - EXPLORE
I'm Matt, a husband, father, pilot, and mechanic currently working as an A&P Apprentice.
I started this channel while I was shopping for an aircraft for the family and I to enjoy. Doing my research with other aviation videos, I noticed far too many comments by people saying "I'd love to do this, but I can't." Here I was, just a regular guy, working hard to pursue my aviation dreams. I learned a long time ago that saying "I can't" is THE way to make sure you never will. (And had done so myself for FAR too long.)
So, I bought a project aircraft, worked on it in my garage, flew it and this blossomed into my new career as an aircraft mechanic.

Some stuff is pretty obvious and honestly shocking that it wasn't found. So pilots, please do a proper preflight inspection before you fly. It'll save you money and maybe even your life. (I'm including myself in this as well. W...
