The final day of the @iac_hq US National Aerobatic Championships was a long one.
I leveraged all my tools to safely transition from competition flying, to IFR cross country mode.
There’s no way I’d have had the bandwidth to do that without @foreflight to make the flight planning go smoothly, @flashpasseapis to take care of the otherwise arduous process of filing a cross border EAPIS, and @siriusxm_aviation weather data to keep me situationally aware in flight.
My Bose A30 headset allowed for comfort and clear communication, which was a critical part of my decision to proceed with the trip home ending at dusk, after a predawn start to the full flying day.
Stay tuned for the long form episode(s) about these latest flying adventures on the Flight Chops YouTube channel!

The 2026 US National Aerobatic Championships have just wrapped up after a week of challenging weather.
The @iac_hq community worked hard to contend with a constantly modified schedule, which allowed for 2 of the 3 flights per category to be completed.
Huge thanks to to the team at @aura_aero_usa for offering me the Intergral R when they heard the RV-14 was out of commission for aerobatics this season (I’ll explain that later).
There’s some great material coming sharing the IFR trip(s) to get to training camp on the east coast, and then the contest in Kansas (I was able to fly the RV-14 “normal cross country ops” to get around.

Just a coupla’ @flyte.aero and @plane_wx guys hanging out at the airport talking flight plans.

It was awesome meeting with filmmaker @dakotacyhaniuk today at KFMY.

His cinematic style is the perfect addition for some fun upcoming projects!

Flying different types of planes in a single day is amazing. While the planes are all different some things stay the same. Flying with @boseaviation Pro Flight Series 2 even in a GA aircraft is the best solution for me. @plane_wx gives me the best weather briefing and forecast. @flyte.aero sunglasses won’t give me a headache and protect my eyes in Florida. Enjoy the weekend and fly safe!

What a great time we had in Steamboat Springs this past weekend for our second Touch 'n Go! We heard from SiIMCOMby CAR, PlaneWX, Dan with 5X5 Insurance, and NASA Aerospace Engineer and TBM Owner John Grunsfeld. Missed this one? TBMOPA Members can visit our website and click on "Events" to see what we've got coming up. Convention may be a great event for you if you've never come out!

The full episode is debriefing a serious error I made in the airplane I am most proud to fly. Not everyone has access to a T6 / Harvard, but the takeaway from this one applies to ALL pilots regardless of what they fly, so hopefully you see the value in sharing the lesson(s) I learned from this mistake.
Visit the Flight Chops YouTube channel to watch, and comment with one of your learning moments from a screw up in the cockpit

5X5 Aviation Insurance has been transforming underwriting by delivering customized aviation insurance options directly to pilots and aircraft owners. Now it partners with PlaneWX to recognize and reward pilots who make disciplined preflight weather decisions. As PlaneWX’s exclusive insurance partner, 5X5 will provide eligible PlaneWX Pro Plus members with risk-based premium credits through its Safety Rewards program. The partnership reflects a core part of 5X5’s underwriting philosophy: pilots who train more, prepare more thoroughly and make informed decisions are better risks. PlaneWX helps pilots put that into practice and helps them make more informed go/no-go decisions.

Multiple aircraft. One route to @eaa AirVenture in Oshkosh. A plan that lasted about a day.

Then came the weather, the detours — and Bill, who didn’t know us, but treated us like he did.

Runway to Oshkosh: Episode 1. Streaming soon.

Flight Chops touching down @Airventure 2026 in his Vans RV-14. He arrived with 2 de Havilland Canada DHC-1 Chipmunks from the Canadian Aviation Museum. They were all on display together at the at the throat of a Boeing Plaza. #eaa #osh26 #airventure #warbirds #aviation

This is A LOT for Pilots and ATC.
If you study the ~35 page notice and are well briefed, this isn’t has hard as it might seem, but I have to admit that I’m nervous flying in (and out) every time.
We captured some amazing stuff flying into @eaa AirVenture with the Chipmunks from the Canadian Aviation Museum, and I’ll be sharing it in the coming months - there is a great deal of material got go through.
Our biggest challenge (as was the case for most of us that flew into the event this year) was the wide spread wild fire through out the entire region leading into the event.
This post is not sponsored. I just wanted to share it as a great snapshot of what it’s like to get out of here, but I have to make it clear that this trip required using all of our tools from ForeFlight to SiriusXM Aviation and of course, clear communications with our Bose aviation headsets.
Huge thanks to all the supporters and viewers for helping keep this content creation sustainable. 👊

This isn't really goodbye, it's see you later. As we leave #osh26 we can truly say we are blessed to have spent time with our friends and family at this incredible event. We are already planning next year to be even more amazing.
