As a Grumman AA5A owner I love when anyone makes a good video in these tiger/cheetahs. They're a hidden secret in the ASEL category.

HAHAHAHAHA! That secret has been out for a bit now. I remember a friend recommending a Tiger as an "affordable option" into general aviation ownership. That was only 4 years ago. Now, Grummans are near impossible to find and the price has skyrocketed. Watched another video where someone was buying one and the seller was still getting cash offers above the asking price in mid 2022 which may go down as the greatest increase in GA prices ever....hopefully. Sure the market is slowing now, but I think the AA5A line got a big boost from Bruno and social media over the past few years. Those of you that bought before 2019 are sitting pretty with tons of equity.

I've got two pairs of prescription Flying Eyes (both with the LEWDIX discount) and I love them! As a CFI, there comes a time when every student complains about the headset and their glasses/sunglasses. I always take that moment to put my sales hat on and show them the goods!

Nice! You’ll welcome yourself back to the sky soon enough

soloed in a tiger many years ago. bought my first pair of flying eyes last year at Reno .

Funny video and I love my Flying Eyes thanks to Lewdix for the discount

Never noticed these glasses before but after watching your video now own a set. Great deal video keep up the great videos.

Grumman tiger is what I got my license in, A&P and private pilot here working on commercial aircraft. Will most likely build a RV if I cant find a Tiger.

Cool video! Always wanted to fly a Grumman Tiger. Nice to see Keesler AFB fron the air at 11:45. Flew in the aero club there in 1982-83 while going to USAF tech school.

If you desire to fly back to Stenis, I used to live in Bay St Louis. Still have family there. It’s a great area and I’ll show you around!

I fly out of Stennis often. KHSA is very nice. I flew my first towered solo from there. Not really a fancy area but it’s the nicest stop around. My home airport is KASD which you passed by and flying over the NASA facility is awesome.

Great video! Always good to see Dean. Love the new plane!

Loved the. "How'd you like that busy Orlando airspace?" "I trained next to LAX" conversation :D I had a similar discussion several years ago about two different airports. "Busy" is a matter of experience.

Loved flying the Tiger!

What a fun flight! Never flown the east coast of the gulf like that that’s great!

Very cool. First small plane I ever flew in back in 2007 was a Grumman Tiger AA5!!!

Just ordered a pair! Thanks for the videos! Looking to solo this weekend if all goes well 😎

pleasant flight, of course. 23:42 yes, I paused it looking for the cats. 26:30 lollll, love this segment.

Thanks for washing your pringles fingers before manhandling the shades, Steve

I was shocked when I saw a Tiger on the thumbnail! I flew a Tiger from Montreal to Newfoundland with two buddies shortly after getting my PPL this summer. Had never flown a low wing (proper) aircraft before, so after a quick checkride I was on my way, 60lbs under max gross on a hot summer day. Amazing airplane. Barely climbs but cruises very fast for a fixed gear. And besides the nosewheel, the only other weakness of the Tiger is that they run EXTREMELY hot. Did you notice that Lew?

Dean actually added me on Facebook a few months back. Because of your videos I now have purchased 4 pairs. I bought my wife the limited purple frames recently! They are amazing and go with me wherever I go. Sienna recently helped me replace my scratched lenses when I made a stupid mistake and put my pistol on my car seat and forgot my glasses were there and oops.. Because of her I went and purchased those purple ones for my wife right away! The service they provide is like no other, didn't even question it, just shipped them to me to replace!! I leave one pair in each of my cars so I always have some to wear. Whether you realize it or not you have tons of reach to your audience whether that is to help them learn to fly if they are interested or even "push" amazing products :) I really can't wait to see all of this series, my new hangar mate in Kissimmee has a Grumman Tiger that him and his friends are building time in! Keep it up.

Stennis has an English Electric Lightning based there under restoration to flight.

Love the video! Also, Flying Eyes looks like a great company! Love the cats and the fact that I can get prescription lenses. Im gonna have to look into them!

I have 4 pairs of Flying eyes now and they are amazing. I wear my kestrels while flying and I have 2 pair of clears for work and they are so awesome and comfortable!!

Awesome video Lewis! I love how well your segways to ads are getting smoother. Plenty of editing practice. lol Seriously though, I love flying a Grumman. They are super smooth and responsive, a very docile aircraft. Can't wait to see you get back behind the controls. Also, really need to get some Flying Eyes ophthalmics... any idea where I can find some and maybe get a deal?

Should have told me you would be so close! I would have loved to come to KHYI to take you up in the 182 so we could have floated around for a while....great video as always!

2:00 love the shot at Av101 😂😂

Bay St Louis is actually a really nice place to visit. Pass Christian and the coast have some great restaurants and the Stennis Space Center has a great museum. Rockets gallore.

I thought, for a long time, that I did not need the Flying eyes. I went to Oshkosh and met Dean, the owner. After a little chat I decided to buy a pair. They are awesome. Best sunglasses I own. I have the magnifiers in mine that needed adjustment and they adjusted them at no charge and got them back to me in a day or so. But the big test, my wife is very particular about sunglasses. I decided to take a chance and bought her a pair as well, sight unseen by her. She is not a pilot. She does fly with me so she wears a headset however, she absolutely loves her Flying Eyes. They are her go to sunglasses not only for flying but for driving, sitting on the back porch, working in the yard, matters not. That is the ultimate positive testimony for how great these sunglasses are. Anyways, thanks for the great video.

NASA engine test facility and Casinos. Oil production. Last hurrican that came through a lot of the Vhevron and a couple more companies based their helicopter off shore operations out of Stennis. A lot of Military Trainers go in there for refuel. I think Million Air saw opportunities and have benefited, as well as their customers, from it.

@LewDixAviation

Жыл бұрын

Haven’t got a clue

flying eyes are awsome sunglassees but so expensif ... the day they will cost 50€/dollars, i'll buy 5 different sunglasses ahah

i would love to get a pair of the glass frames, so i can put my prescription in them, but i cannot afford to pay $350 for a frame

Wait, so they claim we aren't allowed to use the code LEWDIX? How do they expect me to pay full price?

My issue with Flying Eyes is that I have to pay to get demo glasses sent to me. They look cool and there are several frames I want to try. I don't have a local retailer. I have to try stuff on before buying them. I looked online and they charge a fee to try on glasses. I want to try the prescription glasses with the magnetic sunglasses. They look like a great option for me but the fee to try a pair on is stupid. It's not a huge fee but mostly the principal. If they want me to buy a pair and pay more for prescription lenses, then let me try them on. Trying them on should not cost me money.

@LewDixAviation

Жыл бұрын

I’m not sure but I suspect the fee is for “insurance”. If they send you pairs of glasses there’s no way of them guaranteeing that they’ll ever get them back from you. Not saying you’re a thief, of course, but anyone could just keep them. That’s my guess anyway.

All I know is there is something with NASA and a casino
