Getting your aviation fix on YouTube… There’s loads of great General Aviation content just waiting to be watched on YouTube – and we’ve picked some of our favourites from the current crop…

f General Aviation provides us with that magic carpet travelling experience, then YouTube enables us to live a huge variety of aviation lives vicariously. Whether you want wild back-country ‘seat of pants’ flying, or procedural IFR buttonology, you can almost certainly find it on YouTube. Thanks to amazing video quality courtesy of Virbs, GoPros and stabilised 4K wonder sensors that sometimes also work as phones, easy video editing, and not to mention heaps of talent, there’s no shortage of great content out there. Ian, Ed, Jonny and Dave, aka The FLYER Livestream team (also on YouTube, every Thursday night, 7.30-8.30) have each picked five of their favourite General Aviation YouTubers. You may not agree with all of them, and we’ve almost certainly missed out some corkers (let us know), but if you’re not already a ninja level YouTubewatcher, this is a great place to get started…
