Flying backwards in a Cessna 152!
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
40 knot head winds and a 35 knot stall speed allowed us to start flying backwards over the ground! We took a Cessna 152 from the Purdue University airport (KLAF) up to 9,500' to see if we could complete the negative ground speed challenge. Thanks for watching!

Great video! Would you mind if I featured parts of this video in an episode of my series Weekly Dose of Aviation? I will of course credit you in the video and in the description.

Lucaas asking for you to be in one of his videos is prob the best achievement on KZread
I've done this a few times. back in the day before GPS. I soloed in 1966 when I was 17 years old and had seven hours total time. However, life intervened and my dream of owning my own plane was never realized so I've decided to live it, vicariously, via your experiences.
I remember doing a similar thing when I was a student out of VPZ (Porter County Muni) Did slow flight and full stall at 3,500 ft and definitely got to visualize flying backwards.
This is so cool. I've never been around a pilot, and didn't expect them to be so chill🤣 You guys seem awesome!
This reminds me of practicing slow flight in Ontario Canada. Fun times !!!!! Great video !!!!
Epic moment in aviation history! Great video, but I'm freezing just watching this!!!
Nice video Ethan! Looking forward to more from your channel. Subscribed.

Congrats on the PPL!
Your observation about Vfr cruising altitudes was so wild lol. I love how you were technically correct too. I was laughing at that part of the video. Flying an airplane backwards is so absurd lamo.
The appropriate altitude discussion when pointed in one direction, and tracking the reciprocal... LOL... I did that many moons ago instructing in a Skipper. Pretty funny...
Mmm nice to see you both were not injured ;) Great video and demonstration!
Please keep making videos, I watched all of yours and subscribed, just wanted to comment on the most recent one. I liked your analysis of crashes, the 2 you have so far, I think you have a pretty good future in KZread if you continue. I watch a ton of pilot channels, and I thought you were a much bigger KZreadr the first video I watched.

Really means a lot! I’ve been having a ton of fun with it so far. Got some more videos in the works right now. Looking forward to seeing where it goes!
Boiler Up. Pretty impressive stuff.
Luckily no one got injured 😉, great flying
Another interesting video!
Hey how's that 152 handling? I flew vader 20 a few times during 1st semester, but it started having lots of technical issues. Heard they put a brand new engine in it ever since, but I've never flown it yet after the overhaul. Nice vid!

it's so crazy to see that!
epic vid
fun but cold
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Sure, you can do this in a flight simulator... but I never thought anyone would be actually crazy enough to try it in a real aircraft
This would feel so weird 🤣
Is it just me or was the passenger NOT wearing his seat belt at all? It looks like it was just over the shoulder unbuckled.
Cheese Whiz. How many hours does it take to climb to 10,000 in a 152. The highest I've ever taken a 152 is 3500 and it took most of the day to get there 😆🤣😂😆🤣😂
Why does tower call you Vador20?

One of the local flight schools has a large fleet so they use that abbreviated callsign to reduce congestion on the radios
No ground speed check with the tower?
