Welcome to Colorado! Flying Eyes Optics sponsored my trip to the mountains to fly in some beautiful scenery and it was nothing short of breathtaking. In part one of the trip I meet up with Tyler, the Flying Eyes sales manager who gives me a taste of what is to come as we fly around in the foothills around Colorado Springs.

You should do a collab video with Trent Palmer. I’d be interested to see a CFI’s take on backcountry aviation and off-field landings, given how different it is from what you normally do.

About 20 years ago I flew the Mooney M20R, and that was a very nice plane. I loved the digital HSI/RMI combo sitting in the heading indicator spot. Of course flying around here in Michigan the scenery is, "Oh look, another flat corn field."

That's awesome that you're able to get a vacation and check out a new place and a new way of flying. M20E is one of my favorite aircraft and I hope to be able to get one someday. You'll have to make your way further out west one day. The Vegas area has some wonderful sigh-seeing areas that are easily accessible to pilots.

Great content as always. Considering my first pair of FE sunglasses, but which model should I go with? Have I missed a video about the different types (considering: Kestrel, Cooper Titanium or Kingfisher, first 2 prefered, more TopGun like ;-) )

My favourites are the Kestrel Aviators and the Ospreys!

@LEWDIX! Look man. Real awkward, but I bought a pair of flying eyes about 6 months ago using your code and absolutely loved them. Left them in the plane the other day and they’ve been acquired by someone else apparently now. I wanna get another pair but little strapped on cash with a baby coming. Tell me you can get me a discount code on top of your promo code and I’ll Venmo you the cash. I haven’t been the same pilot since.

@phillipruda2445 2 года назад

Not sure I quite caught what sun glasses you were wearing? What were they again? I too get performance anxiety when shown a moonie by a mate. Also nightmares. Does Otto know you're playing around? Breathtaking scenery. Great vid!

SO... Flying eyes VS Patriot SKY Sunglasses

@deansiracusa3966 2 года назад

Flying Eyes are designed, patented and produced by pilots and are the only glasses that are legitimately comfortable under headsets and helmets. Also, you'll definitely want polycarbonate instead of glass lenses so you don't have shards of glass in your eyes in the event of a bird strike or accident.

@lonememe9674 2 года назад

Aw man! That's my playground in the 182 too! I'd be curious what day(s) this was since it kind of looks like a few weeks ago (aspens still golden) when I boogied over to KAEJ right over the Rampart Range to Elevenmile to Arkansas River Valley. I'm excited to see the next video to see how much mountain flying is discussed. Tyler seems like a good guy to fly with, I'd love to hang out with someone like that haha. Although I was nervous when he said you're the first CFI he's flown with since getting his license since you guys were going mountain flying...and it's generally recommended to take that mountain flying course/flight haha. Honestly, it's really just learning about leaning/DA concerns, flying by KIAS and not groundspeed, and knowing the wind effects on the leeward and windward side of mountains.

@frankrosenbloom 2 года назад

Do you have a turbo 182? I am thinking of a trip to Colorado but have a normally aspirated engine, though an upgrade to 280 HP. I have flown in the Idaho backcountry.

@lonememe9674 2 года назад

@@frankrosenbloom Nope, the club's 182 I use is normally aspirated as well and it has plenty of power. Anything over 200HP is pretty adequate here (depending on the time of day and DA and all the rest). Plus anything with a service ceiling over 14k feet usually lets you cheat a bit and just fly right over the highest passes anyway.

@frankrosenbloom 2 года назад

@@lonememe9674 I have dreams of taking my 182 into Telluride (in good weather). We shall see but I'm thinking next year looks good for a Colorado trip.

@lonememe9674 2 года назад

@tylerfox3178 2 года назад

Thank you! I had an amazing time with Lew. He's a truly genuine and awesome guy! I haven't re-watched, but if I said "since I got my license" I definitely misspoke! I meant since my last bi-annual which was just over a year ago. Thank you for the concern tho! You are right about that being concerning had it been the case.

@marklittrell3202 2 года назад

Nice vid. Question for you: Any real benefit to blue tint vs rose tint for flying a lot? I have some ski goggles that are tinted to help avoid snow blindness but that's more for bright whites. I'm wondering what benefit rose/blue would have for flying. Thoughts?

@LewDixAviation 2 года назад

The rose tint are engineered for clarity while you fly. That’s not to say the others including the sapphire aren’t clear. They are all great.

@stephenhudson6543 2 года назад

And I would bet that those glasses are quite pricey and they probably don't have clip-ons for eyeglasses

@LewDixAviation 2 года назад

They go one better. You can get prescription lenses with their frames and shades that attach by magnets.
