Way back in 2007 I started a YouTube channel. It had no theme or mission, it was just a way for me to express myself with random videos. Over the years I have started to see a theme develop around aviation. I started with a hand-held video camera and no audio cable. It was crude, but some of those older videos have some big view counts.

In 2005 I bought my airplane, and I realized what I wanted my channel to be about. I have since bought some GoPro cameras, audio cables, and mounts. My son Alec created a logo for me to brand my YouTube page. it has since become my digital identity across all forms of social media. You’re going to start to see me using this blog in a partnership with my YouTube channel.

So now, I’ve got a channel with 70ish videos, a brand, and a growing audience. As of this writing, I have 366 people subscribed to my channel. My first goal is to build it to 1,000 subscribers.

I am going to ask my current and future subscribers what they would like to see on my channel. I want to create something that you want to watch. What have you always wanted to know about general aviation? Let me know, and I might make a video about it. I will need ideas for future videos.

If you’re reading this blog post, please visit my channel, watch some videos, and subscribe! I will need your help in growing the channel. Any suggestions that you might have would be greatly appreciated!
