Trent ~ Huge thanks to Archer for hosting me and for sponsoring this video! This is genuinely game changing stuff that they are doing and I'm stoked to be bringing you guys behind the scenes as this feels like a historic moment for aviation.
"U.S. Aviation Jet Center is a great place to stop and refuel, get refreshments from the Rocket Fuel Cafe, and review your remaining filght plan. The staff is friendly, helpful and waiting for your arrival. While you are here visit the Valiant Air Command Museum." - Submitted by James Washington
Get a glimpse at what it's like flying on board the iconic FIFI B-29 Superfortress. FIFI is one of two B-29s that are currently flying in the world. It is owned by the Commemorative Air Force and is based at the Vintage Flying museum at Meacham International Airport in Forth Worth, Texas.
"Capri Drive-In Theater is a cool old outdoor movie theater right next to the airport that you can taxi up to within a 5 minute walk. I flew in for the movie and camped overnight and had breakfast at the Prop Blast Cafe there on the grounds. Messenger Lake is across the road part of the famous Chain of Lakes and offers dockside float plane fuel. There's also a courtesy car at the FBO's hangar to get to nearby hotels and cabins." - Submitted by Michael

Flying seaplanes in Alaska has been a lot of fun. It's been too long coming, 10 years almost, and now I'm just moments away from my checkride. But first, we need to do a mock checkride and see if I'm up to snuff on all the landings, takeoffs, taxi, docking, and so on. There's a lot to cover, and I'll be doing my checkride essentially right after this flight.
"We just landed there on June 15 2021. It's a very well maintained airport. I talked with the airport manager before arrival and he was very helpful. They have crew bikes available and it was an easy and pretty ride into Northport for lunch and coffee. NOTE: The bikes are functional but you should plan a few minutes to put air in the tires hand pumps were available. Also you may need to try a few bikes before you get too far away. There is also a hiking trail to the State Park. This is an asset to Northport and well worth the trip for a leisurely outing." - Submitted by Eric Seelye.

During our recent trip through South Africa, we were overjoyed to hear that there would be a massive fly-in event taking place at the Middelburg airport. This was right on our route, and we couldn't miss the opportunity to spend a couple of days surrounded by like minded aviation enthusiasts. We fueled up the Rocket and flew her across a stunning part of the country, finally arriving at a VERY busy airport. Was this Oshkosh in Africa?! Not only did we meet a lot of awesome pilots, we also joined on a few flips in different aircrafts, and ended each day with cold beers at sunset!!
