(Filmed before Covid-19) Please Subscribe! Dan (@SFilmsTakingOff) and Christy (@PilotChristy) talk to a baller pilot who solo'd in the 1960's after about a week of flight lessons. He went on to run a large flight school and flew for Braniff Airlines back in its heyday. Hear stories of flying the Electra and the 727 and how he almost got stranded the day Braniff went under.
