I do believe this kid is fast outdoing his old man. :wink: Is Jake studying at Embry-Riddle down in FL?

It didn't show up for me in Firefox (like many videos here), but worked fine in Chrome.

Congrats, Jake!

Yes, I realized I was doomed to being out done three years ago when we were doing landings at Air Venture with the P-51. He was razor sharp on every landing. In this video, there is a line of hedgerows right at the threshold and it's down hill. 90% of pilots land 1/2 way down the runway. The fact he can nail it like this every time in the Comanche with it's big wings just tells me this kid is on another level all together.

Jake has been studying at SNHU (Southern New Hampshire University) and is now heading home to complete his instrument, commercial, multi, and CFI while taking college classes online.

Scott,

You should be proud, I wish I had done as good a job of raising my son as you and his mom have done with Jake.

Hi Jake and Scott

I was VERY disappointed with your landing!

Please take note. What you forgot, unlike my usual, is the pretty big initial bounce followed by one or more smaller bounces!

You've flown home for Christmas! Have a very Merry one.

Comanche looked superb! Congratulations on your excellence.
