What a flight, dealing with that turbulence looked like no joke. Well done. Beautiful scenery and 10/10 on the landing ✅✅✅

That counts as a workout! Beautiful flight, non the less. Thanks, Ted 👍🏻

You really needed that right 360! At that point I would be like...."I need to be on the ground for a while!". Nice job staying focused on that flight.

Ted, we need to talk. You can't just scare your fans and fellow Flight Design pilots like that and expect to get away with it! 😅 Kiddin' of course, although I was on the edge of my seat until you landed. Great video, scary but great.

Well that was a lot more eventful than I expected. Pretty crazy weather, especially for an LSA. The two most surprising things for me though: I didn't know that ATIS would report a temperature of -0 as opposed to 0. I assume that means it's between 0 and -0.5? I've never actually been to the Provo airport, but I had an image of it in my head and that was not at all what I expected. For some reason I thought it was a tiny little thing with no real FBO or anything. I definitely didn't know that Allegiant flies out of there.

For a guy who prides himself on making boring videos I have some critiques: 01:50 the music you chose is great. Sets a fantastic vibe that matches the scenery: -1 BP (boring points) 04:38 struggling to maintain altitude in a steep climb: -3 BP (-4 BP total) Multiple points: Scary radio chatter. Builds anticipation: -2 BP (-6 BP total) 16:24 Wind Calm?!?! Hilarious: -1 BP (-7 BP total) 17:14 Do a right 360: +1 BP (-6 BP total) 20:20 Showing us the location of the A320: -1 BP (-7 BP total) 22:30 Camera shenanigans. Probably boring for a lot of people but I personally found this to be a bit of a compelling mystery: -1 BP (-8 BP total) I score you -8 BP for this video. Do better, sir. Note: tongue firmly planted in cheek during composition of this comment. Hope it's taken in the playful spirit it's intended.
