Bestie Pilots Fly to get Lunch in a Different State! Strong Crosswinds and a Flight Lesson.​

Nov 11, 2025 #PiperArcher #WomenInAviation #CrosswindLanding
Flying with friends makes every journey more fabulous! In this episode, my girlfriend and pilot @JetGirlStephanie trades in her jets for my Piper Archer, where I fly her from Las Vegas, NV to Lake Havasu, AZ for a girls’ flying adventure — and some delicious lunch right on the airfield.
With strong crosswinds in the forecast, we plan carefully, evaluate our go/no-go decisions, and stay flexible in case we need to head back to Vegas. As a CFI (flight instructor), Stephanie shares a few in-flight tips and insights to help me (and you!) handle tricky flight conditions safely and confidently.

Off-Airport Adventure in a Brand-New Husky! (Dry Lake Bed Landing)​

Nov 19, 2025 #aviation #husky #backcountryflying
Today’s adventure is a wild one. I team up with my friend and fellow YouTuber, Pilot Annie, to take the brand-new Aviat Husky - affectionately named The Red Dragon - out for an off-airport showing through the Nevada desert.
We launch out of Henderson Executive Airport (KHND) and head straight toward a massive dry lake bed, the perfect playground for a Husky. These airplanes are built for backcountry operations, and this flight shows exactly why.
After touching down on the lake bed, we hop out, explore on foot, and capture some insane drone footage of the Red Dragon against the desert backdrop.
If you love bush flying, off-airport landings, or just want to hang out with two pilots having a blast, you’re going to love this one!

Nov 26, 2025 #cessna182 #aviationvlog #lakeMead
Bumpy skies, stunning views, and one unforgettable meetup In this episode, we depart Las Vegas in my 1957 Cessna 182 and head north over Lake Mead and the desert terrain en route to St. George, Utah. The turbulence over the hot rocks made for one of the bumpiest rides I’ve had in a while — but it was all worth it to catch up with the legendary ‪@wairworthy‬ for a behind-the-scenes tour of his incredible airplane.
Come along for the full flight experience: cockpit audio, multi-cam footage, honest flying moments, and one very cool aviation collab at the end.

Footage appears to show aircraft larger than football field soaring over Calif.​

From a distance, it looks like a war plane imagined by Hayao Miyazaki, or the type of machine that could only exist in a science fiction novel.

But according to aviation enthusiasts who captured footage of it soaring in the California skies last week, it's an experimental aircraft designed by Stratolaunch, an aerospace company located in the Mojave Desert. Chances are, residents in surrounding towns will see more of it, too.

Described as the world's largest flying aircraft, Roc - which looks like two 747s fused together and has a wingspan larger than a football field - recently completed a series of test flights last year, where it reached an altitude of 35,000 feet. Named after a large bird of prey from Arabian folklore, the unique composite aircraft has six engines, a 385-foot wingspan, and a takeoff weight of 1.3 million pounds. According to Stratolaunch's website, the legendary bird was so large, it could carry elephants and transport sailors to safety. Similarly, it appears that the 21st-century iteration is designed to carry another Stratolaunch aircraft, the fully autonomous Talon-A2, which is capable of reaching hypersonic speeds when released into the air - that's five times the speed of sound.
