Kevin is a private pilot with a bunch of time in a Cessna 172. He has flown a bit with me in the Beaver and he's looking to buy a similar plane. Peter's Chinook is for sale and so Kevin and Peter took it up for a test flight. I tried to get some air to air footage but it didn't work out. I left the camera running as we talked about the flight after though so I hope you find it interesting!
