stef747 – Escape Normal & Find Your Freedom
6th June, 2020 Since writing the article below on my public support of the Black Lives Matter movement I’ve received a lot of feedback. Some of you sent stories of discrimination or abuse you’ve received because of your background. Others agreed that white privilege and racial bias does exist in industries like aviation and that […]
Just finished a great conversation with my friend and Cirrus CSIP Philippe Polman for the London Flying Club. Philippe organises talks with aviators around the world for LFC members usually in a pub or a ‘real’ venue, but of course due to the travel restrictions he’s broadcasting these via the Internet right now instead. We […]
Over the years I’ve amassed a lot of content recorded in the cockpit of my flights, a lot of which never makes it to YouTube. I like to keep the aviation vlogs on my channel entertaining and informative and to try and focus on a story rather than simply document what goes on inside the […]
A quick story. 100 years ago, in 1919, Australian Prime Minister William Alexander Watt announced the Commonwealth Government would offer a prize of £10,000 for the first successful flight to Australia from Great Britain in under 30 days. This started the “Great Air Race” which (spoiler alert) would eventually be won by two brothers Ross and […]
I took three weeks out over Summer to fly around Europe with Philippe Polman, a Cirrus Instructor and owner of an SR20 G6. Philippe owns N55557 (try saying that 3 times after a 4 hour flight) which we logged almost 50 hours on over the course of three weeks of flying. I filmed the adventures […]
If you’re into epic adventures and love aviation stories of pushing the limits you’ll love Michael Smith’s story of flying a Searey flying boat around the world. I’m lucky to call Michael a friend, but he’s also a massive inspiration to me for my flying. He’s kindly given me a signed copy of Voyage Of […]
I’ve had a couple of you reach out to me recently about the subject of self-doubt. It seems like some of you are suffering from episodes of self-doubt in your flight training or flying career and you’re thinking that you’ll never be as good as other pilots that are out there. Or worse still sometimes you’re waking […]
This evening, I watched my YouTube subscriber count tick over 20,000. I remember at the start of this year I had just over 3,000 people subscribed to my channel. That number was huge to me, I couldn’t comprehend that 3,000 people would want to not only watch the videos I’d posted so far, but click […]
I recently spent two weeks flying solo around the West and North of Australia through some of the remotest parts of this country. My flights took me over the Nullarbor Plain, the Simpson Desert, the Kimberley and around Australia’s top end. Plus over Western Australia’s island archipelagos, through the Red Centre, and with scenic flights […]
