Learning to fly would be an absolute dream, im booking my ppl lessons to get the ball rolling, id love to come on flights with you and learn from you. Ive watched your vlogs and you live and breath flying.. there would be no one better to have as an aviation role model, your passion for it shows in every episode.

[@marktaylor484]

Excellent skills n' drills. Outstanding relaxed flight. So very well done!

Fab video as usual Ben and you looked like you had a lot of fun. Best wishes to you.

[@PlaneOldBen]

Cheers Jason, it was such a fun aircraft for fly.

[@jasonrwilkinson9216]

@@PlaneOldBen Hi Ben thanks for the reply. I've been getting around in the Gyro, Scottish Borders a few weeks ago, down to Lands End and back 3 weeks ago, and just enroute back to York from Goodwood. Were you working Southend Radar this afternoon as it sounded like you in what I think was G-JU? Best wishes.

[@christopherhadsell9049]

Few years ago, I've bought a Robin R2160 from Aeros. I believe they used it for UPRT training just like they use this Grob. After watching your video, I'm not so sure why they switched to Grob... Anyways, nice video. There's a similar Grob 115D2 Heron for sale on PlaneCheck - just in case, someone is looking for an aerobatic trainer.

[@joecornelius6714]

Great video!

[@PlaneOldBen]

Thank you very much!

[@musoseven8218]

Super video, nice to see the aeroplane being put through its paces. I thought that the spin was a bit vicious at the start - I've certainly seen more benign spins at the incipient stage - could catch the unwary out? You handled it all nicely though 👍😊

[@PlaneOldBen]

Cheers, Muso! It definitely did feel quite a dynamic spin entry.

[@tomholmez1236]

Can’t wait to do my aerobatics rating in that plane ;)

[@PlaneOldBen]

You’ll really enjoy it!

[@FrustratedPenguin333]

I completed my first solo in G-BHVC when it belonged to Tayside Aviation

[@PlaneOldBen]

That’s awesome!!

[@MrSeebsy]

Hi Ben, What are you doing for your day job these days? I see Flybe is kinda back in the air?

[@PlaneOldBen]

I’ve been flying a Falcon 20 the last couple of years, awesome fun!

[@SeanDuffyProductions]

Another great video Ben, looked like great fun! Might have to get my aerobatics rating too some day, if I can stomach it. 😁

[@PlaneOldBen]

Haha thanks, Sean! Hope you’re well - you’d love the Aerobatics!!

[@stevensonjames5]

There's a video in your adverts

[@stig9995]

Are you still flying for Draken Ben?

[@PlaneOldBen]

Sure am!
