Loved this series! I have flown into Wise many times, live near Cape Girardeau, and have friends who live in Oceanside. We have also had pie in Julian. My dad was a helicopter pilot. I explained Becki's reaction to the long, bumpy rides to wife by saying, "It's like taking a long road trip on gravel roads in a Jeep." She said, "Ohhhhhhh." 😀

Thank you for the excellent adventure. KTOA is where I picked up my SLING 2, a little over 5 years ago and flew it back to NY. It was nice to see the Sling Academy planes on the ramp. The academy didn’t exist back then. In addition to A/C will you be doing any other avionics upgrades? Some Glass maybe? Thanks again for this series and glad you had a safe trip. And remember, time to spare, go by air.

Such an amazing series guys! In my previous job I worked as an aerial survey pilot based out of Oregon and we worked in every area that you guys visited during this trip. Definitely makes me miss flying down through the mountains, desert, and coastal areas. I even have a good handful of flight hours in that very same little grey Tecnam Chris is standing in front of at 8:48!

Like Becki said, I can’t believe the series is over. But like with many things in life, it’s okay to be sad when something is over, but be happy that it happened. As I’ve mentioned before, each series gets better and better. The cinematography and storytelling is something out of Hollywood with a team of two producers. How insane is that? Thank you both for inspiring me and the other viewers with your adventures. N-300WZ - see you later bud ✌🏽

Wow, what a great video to wrap up Heading West. The storytelling was soo good, and the choice of music for all episodes felt really good as well. I can't wait to catch the next video or podcast ( DVD extras) when it's out.

@aerocorby 9 ай бұрын

just an observation Chris: at the fuel island in Bishop CA you connected the ground lead alligator clamp to the exhaust pipe prior to and while fueling, this is generally an incorrect practice because you risk initiating the propagation of dissimilar metal corrosion of your exhaust, which eventually will result in a series of visible holes at the exhaust stack termination. I recommend connecting the alligator clamp ground lead to a part of the Airframe (say a cadmium plated nut on the skid or cross tube) as it is less susceptible to galvanic corrosion unlike your difficult and expensive to replace exhaust system
