During the winter and spring, we logged 100 hours of flight time over just 11 weeks in a determined effort to help Chris achieve his goal of reaching 500 flight hours. This mission was all in preparation for the overhaul of our helicopter, the Millennial Falcon, which we planned to fly across the country.
In the inaugural episode of our latest travel series Heading: WEST - Journey To Overhaul, we delve into the journey that unfolds when a helicopter's lifespan nears its end. Additionally, we outline our trip objectives and aspirations before embarking on this exciting adventure.

Holy @$&+!! I’ve watched a lot of content this year and this THIS! just shot up to the top of my list. It’s the most polished and well-structured storytelling plus crisp and direct-to-the-point visualizations of a self-produced cross-country docu-series. A truly excellent first episode! _As someone who’s been watching since the home renovation vids of NFland and the tutorials and vlogging vids of Vancouver, I’m always amazed at what Becki and Chris can make in their videos and where they take them year after year. The hard work put in and challenges they overcome over the years only propels them towards grander endeavors in the future._ *Looking forward to the rest of the series, Becki and Chris!*

368k sub's is a lot of people, but for the time, effort, cost and pure quality of an edit that you produce i think you are well undervalued. well done for all you do and i wish you every success.. i have been following for a few years now. Good luck from a fellow Heli pilot here in the UK

So awesome to be watching and traveling along with y'all! Great first episode! Felt like I was watching a Discovery+ show. Such great production and I know a lot of time went into this. I can't imagine having to fly a helicopter across the country, let alone plan a production alongside it. Y'all are rocking it out! And a bonus gem in this episode was finding out that you've been to Wise, VA! I lived there for 10 years. Anywhooo...can't wait for episode 2!

Really excited for this series, @BeckiandChris! I have the opportunity to fly with my brother from time to time, and we once flew in an R22 under the Golden Gate about 10 years ago. It's always a treat when I get to fly with him. We recently found out that we're 2nd cousins of the Wright brothers (...5 times removed!), so we'll definitely have to put that museum on our todo list. Looking forward to your future videos!

I'm stressed out just watching this first episode! My wife and I are full-time travelers - we sold everything we own except what we have in a carry-on suitcase and backpack each. But what we do seems so much easier than how you've had to pack for this cross-country trip. Also, we have booked Airbnbs months in advance for every destination. Traveling without any lodging makes me nervous. It certainly looks exciting, but I couldn't do it. I bow before your ability to handle all these challenges while documenting it all and creating a cohesive story. We write scripts and produce weekly episodes for our KZfaq channel (@findingGinaMarie), but making sure you have the shot list covered for this trip is also a ton of work. I'm so impressed. You two are incredibly inspiring! Cheers!

I really appreciate the creativity and work it takes to film these series! Props to the editor(s)
