Nice video, that has some MSer's planes in it? Never seen a video from this channel before, but it was nice to see something dedicated to our birds

I like how they kept sneaking that Bellanca Viking in there like nobody would notice.

Mikey’s great 201 stood out, best among the best.

Was that Goldfinger appearing briefly?

I've yet to see 160 kts on 10 gal/h but I'll keep trying.

Just fly higher.

Neat video but I got the feeling it was an AI script. I wonder if @201er supplied any footage, or if it was just captured from his videos without him knowing about it.

[haymak3r]

My thoughts as well. And to be honest, a part of the reason why I felt that it should be posted.

That was done without my permission or input

That is so lame. I had a feeling that was the case.

Using stills (or even short clips) from a published video probably falls under the Fair Use Doctrine:

There are no legal rules permitting the use of a specific number of words, a certain number of musical notes, or percentage of a work.

@201er (Mike) may not sue, but the parrots may decide to. Free speech applies to humans, the parrots may want to get paid for their speech. They need seed money for a new venture.

Nice video and thanks for sharing

Where in the world did he get yearly operating cost of $200-$300? Even if that was based on old $2 per gall gas prices which is unobtainium  now, that would be only 100 gallons of gas and at 10 gallons per hour only 10 hours of use for a year. I think he forgot to add a zero on to those numbers. It’s this kind of vastly over optimistic prices that uninformed people read about and think oh i could fly around in my airplane and it only cost me $200-300 dollars a year to operate. Then they get a plane and are hugely disappointed when it cost ten times the amount they read about. 

[Meshach]

I’d be real happy with 2-3K operating cost

Maybe he meant monthly.

I thought he said 20-30K fixed costs, plus 200-300 per hour....

Those seem like my numbers and not what you guys in the US pay...

Ah maybe i miss understood as 200-300 per month woukd be more believable.

Now that I think about it, he probably meant $200-300 per hour, giving $20-30K per year, assuming 100h of flight/year...

at 400 hours per year I would drop closer to $90/hour

Seems like a lot of flying.  Are you a commercial operator of some kind?
