Wonderful World of Flying on YouTube
Steve Kahn did a series of shows for ABC in the late 1980s called “ABCs Wide
World of Flying”. He then made a few more and sold the series as DVDs. They are now up on YouTube on his channel. I’ve linked to many of them in previous posts and found this list of what is in each one. Barry Schiff, Phil Boyer, and Rod Machado feature in them and much of the content is still relevant. I’ll provide links and highlight the good parts as time permits. Here’s the whole list to get you started.
