  • This is the last video in the Turbulence build series. Finally able to get it out! For those wondering, Turbulence is still down. I am close to finding an engine for it, and then it will require a long road trip with tools and some long days swapping the engine out. I'm hoping after my house is complete to make it out there to do the engine swap. Don't worry though, we'll make a video of it! If I missed anything about Turbulence please comment below and I'll try to answer questions.

      I would guess Mike gets hundreds if not thousands of requests a year to meet with someone, it would be physically impossible for him to accommodate every one of those requests for his time, and for you to complain because he met with Cleetus and not you screams massive narcissism.

    I love all your videos, the engineering, the excitement, the fun. But something that you said here touched my heart and it wasn’t about aviation. It was about fresh water for the world. Our church adopted some villages in Gana, Africa, and when we first got there, the villagers were getting all of their water from an infested river. The digestive diseases they had were terrible. We were able to first supply water filtration systems, then rainwater harvesting systems, and finally fresh water wells. The change in their health has been amazing. Unfortunately there are places all around the world where the people are still drinking polluted water. Thanks to people like you, solutions are being tried to turn this around.
    Thank you for that, and for the great aviation content!!

    In the skies where winds do dance,
    A tale of Mike Patey, his plane's advance.
    Through turbulence, a daring flight,
    In the boundless blue, a fearless sight.
    Wings slicing through the chaotic air,
    Mike's spirit soaring without a care.
    His plane, a vessel, a fearless steed,
    In the tempest's grasp, a noble deed.
    Turbulence, a challenge embraced,
    Mike's courage and skill interlaced.
    Among the clouds, where storms do brew,
    He navigates with a heart so true.
    A maverick in the vast expanse,
    Mike Patey, a pilot, takes a chance.
    Through twists and turns, he finds his way,
    In the turbulence, a ballet in the gray.
    The air becomes a canvas wild,
    As Patey's plane, like a fearless child,
    Dances through the gusts and roars,
    Defying gravity, seeking more.
    In the cockpit, a symphony of might,
    Mike guides his plane through day and night.
    Through turbulence, a journey bold,
    A tale of aviation, forever told.

    Mike thank you for letting us see a little piece of your incredible world. With the challenge that you have spoken of, of a airframe that has high speed yet can then turn into a slow flight aircraft in my opinion is the true need for the firefighting air tanker aircraft for the next generation. The modification of commercial jets to do the job is great for response, but speed reduction for safe application is the challenge. I can see your knowledge having such a huge positive impacts for the future of firefighting. And again thank you for all the positive impacts you have already done and continue to do. Back to work making flight safer.

    A true Renaissance man.
    Your work IS paying it forward for the next generation.
    Your expertise goes far beyond the flight envelope. I think you are pushing people to step out of their comfort zone and expand their vision in all aspects of life.
    Wishing you and your familia a great holiday season.

    Mike, I don't know if it's already been said but you (and Mark, for that matter) really *REALLY* need to write a book. You’ve shared some great stories that are not only entertaining but are also informative and always provide a life lesson takeaway, or safety lesson to make not only better pilots but also better people. I don’t have a pilot’s license (bucket list) but I love all things aviation and watching your videos has inspired me in more ways that you can imagine not just in aviation but in the way you do life and your passion to help others as well.
    You have so many great stories and wisdom to share, Mike. Seriously, consider partnering with an author (because we know you are crazy busy) to do your own “Patey” autobiography (Nod to “Yeager”) and I guarantee that it will hit the best seller list.

    Wheeeee dogggie, Mike is an inspiration!! It’s unreal how he just started redoing Turbulence five months before the race, drilling big holes in the wings, swapping engines, etc, etc and boom, he’s ready in time with a record setting machine. He picks up new skills all along the way and excels at each of them. We are living in a fantastic time where men like Mike are probing the limits of what is possible, having a blast doing it and sharing it with us! What a blessing that Mike pulls us into his awesome world where we can see how it’s done!!

    With Turbulence, you're not saving "just a little" each time you fly. You're saving several hours compared to flying commercially. On top of that, you can get into smaller airports closer to your destination, saving even more. All that while flying through the air at airliner speeds, except that it climbs to cruise altitude much faster.

    Hi Mike, Love the content you produce and the inspiration you provide to all of us.
    While I'm certain you've thought of this, and it's been mentioned a couple of times, but I can't help but think fairings around the exhaust of Turbulence would get you a couple extra knots of airspeed. Perhaps you could do a video of you running a model in the software you used while designing the wing for Scrappy?
    Looking forward to seeing the house finished. Now back to work. 💪
