An Absolute Joy!!

David and Derek are quite the pair. Don’t just listen here. Check out their YouTube channel, Flight Review, where David documents his journey to his PPL. I can only hope these two continue to share with us the aviation goodness we’ve come to enjoy, long after David receives his cert!!

These episodes are packed with information, advice, life lessons, and just the pure joy of flying!

Subscribe here, subscribe on YouTube, and enjoy. You’ll be glad you did.
