I wish we had more aviation content here.  We certainly have the knowledge.  Thanks for posting.  TOO funny! 

Great shot of those feel good, virtue signaling solar panels as he flies over them on final burning KEROSENE!  Ha!

I know right?  Ha ha!  But those shots over the mountains are sooooooooo gorgeous, although all I could think of while watching it was, "Where am I gonna put down if I have an engine out?  Did I file a flight plan? Is my ELT in working order? I'm sure there's no cell towers around here. Do I have a cold weather survival kit?" LOL!!!  Oh, and also, those glass screens, where's my steam gauges!?!  I am so frickin dated.

Nice video.  Too bad they ruined all that beautiful aviation sound.

Lots of steam gauges still in use, and that's exactly the thoughts that were going through my head when I lived in Colorado and was doing mountain flying regularly.  Beautiful scenery.  Lots of aluminum in Monarch Pass and others.  :(

First, if the guy is going to chase airplanes he needs a faster bike.

Second, the M in TBM stands for Mooney.
