Coming back into KHFD from a sight-seeing flight, the Tower asked me to perform a right 360-degree turn for spacing. Took the time to relax and enjoy the local scenery. Come along for the ride! ATC audio, captions and an under-wing GoPro camera recording at 60fps take in these views!

On a calm VFR day in August, I take to the skies over Connecticut, capturing the experience with three GoPro cameras. This flight showcases the true essence of general aviation—complete freedom as I navigate across the state, taking in the lush green scenery from 2,700 feet.

A friend of mine and I took to the skies over Hartford CT for the last week of August. The skies were calm and lovely for this 1/2-hour flight around the city. We had a LADYBUG stuck in the window ledge of the Piper Warrior as we were orbiting over his house. We captured the little fella on the GoPro.

Some Camera footage from Beta Testing having a GoPro on my head in the Pattern at KHFD last month.

The weather was borderline VFR all morning and I pushed my flight from the morning to 4 hours later in the day. I wanted to get up in the air and just opted for some pattern work, I wasn't going to even film. The winds were shifting all around during my preflight, but the windsock was flopped down and the weather reports were all over the place. I had my mind set on practicing short field landings. I was not expecting to balloon and decided the best thing to do was perform a go around.

When was your last balloon? What did you do? After watching the video would you have tried to salvage the landing?

Hello @Alpha Kilo Warrior - great videos. I don't see any links back to flightinfo.com on your channel or in your videos. Certainly would appreciate the link back. Am I missing it somewhere?

CLASS C Sight-seeing over the CT River

I think I just had one of the top 3 flights of 2024 so far. I departed KHFD with a squawk code to allow me to perform air work in Class C Airspace over Bradley International Airport. My 1st leg took me over the CT River to the Massachusetts border. I sped the footage up 200% and added the ATC audio and solo-cockpit audio of my experience.

Flightinfo.com gets a plug at the end of the video, thanks for your hospitality over the past 7 months! I really appreciate having a place to post these and promote my YouTube channel.

I strapped a GoPro on my head and flew from Hartford to Simsbury in Connecticut. Surprisingly it was not a distraction an offers a very cool view of my perspective. I have a total of THREE GoPro's going for this flight and mixed them all together to make an enjoyable aviation experience.

I flew into IMC last week for the 1st time on an IFR flight plan from KHFD (Hartford, CT) to KCDW (Caldwell, NJ) in the clouds at 6,000'. I have a newfound respect for the IFR pilots after logging 1.1 actual today! Wow! MUCH RESPECT! I turned the inside GoPro on about 20 miles away from the airport.

Flying the Hudson River Exclusion
It’s a brisk, overcast October day, perfect for an unforgettable journey along the Hudson River! Starting over Alpine, New Jersey, we bank south in the Piper Warrior, staying close to the New Jersey side of the Hudson per FAA guidelines. My mission: keep our altitude between 1,000-1,299 feet within the corridor. As we fly south, we stay along the NJ side to ensure a smooth journey. Scratch on bucket list item off my list!

Flying into Southbridge MA for Lunch at The Flight Deck | 3B0 $100 Hamburger
A fan of my channel offered to fly us in a Cessna 172 for a $200 hamburger. It was a beautiful, yet gusty day up North into Massachusetts territory. Today, we picked an aviation Diner right on the field of 3B0 in Southbridge, MA. We ate and I spoke with the owner Sarah. She gave us a tour of the FBO and her Diner. I really enjoyed myself being a passenger for once! I'm looking forward to bringing more of this type of content to the channel. Let me know what you think by leaving a comment below! Sit back and enjoy the show.
