One of the things I love about Mike's channel is he does not do this for the money. He doesn't need any income from RU-vid to begin with, but you can tell that he is genuinely trying to share his passion of aviation with others. No other motive or reason. For that, this is my favorite channel on RU-vid. And I'm not even a pilot.

As a SAR technician and an aviator who uses his personal aircraft for SAR work, I'm all for the SAR related videos! My most memorable rescue was a young 16yr old girl, who fell off a cliff, we got called out for a body recovery late Sunday afternoon, first technician down discovered she was still alive! We worked on her attached to ropes on the side of a cliff for a few hours, eventually getting her topside and into an air ambulance. Sadly she died in theater in the early hours of the next morning.

So funny and such a good story. I am myself a search and rescue trained scuba diver. So I know the feeling...... Most rewarding is to find the person and recover him alive. But even if not at least the family has something to berry knowing for a fact he/she didn't make it. When I go into the water with my gear I am down for up to 3h straight which freaks people out because they are so used to max 1h dive time. And it makes a hell of a difference this extra time you are in the water or in the air so I know exactly how you feel. Always pushing the limits to advance forward. Thank you for sharing.
