Welcome to our aviation lifestyle channel, where general aviation meets real-world adventure. We’re a husband-and-wife pilot team flying our Cirrus SR22T across mountains, deserts, and high density altitude airports, often with our toy and miniature poodles along for the ride.
Our channel showcases personal aviation as a way of life, blending cross-country flying, mountain operations, IFR decision-making, and weather challenges with the freedom of aircraft ownership. We share behind-the-scenes Cirrus ownership, including owner approved DIY maintenance, upgrades, performance insights, and practical lessons learned from real flights.
From flying safely with dogs to navigating the mountains, our goal is to inspire safe, capable, and confident flying both on the ground and in the air.
We also operate a 501(c)(3) nonprofit "Pip’s Rescue Wings" providing life saving transport for at-risk dogs from high kill shelters.
Subscribe and fly along with us as we turn aviation into a way of life!

We looked back at our pups mid-flight and Baxter was nowhere to be found! How do you lose a dog in a Cirrus? After some short lived panic and me crawling in to back of the luggage compartment to find him, he popped his head out from under the seat cover on the floor. Never a dull moment Baxter!
