We flew all over Door County and the surrounding islands, landing at Washington Island before camping for the night in the woods along the coast of Sturgeon Bay with my wife Chelsea. From formation flying with Dave over the water to exploring remote airstrips and small towns, this trip had everything we love about aviation, adventure, and the Midwest. Come along for the ride as we explore Wisconsin from the sky-one unforgettable landing at a time. ?? Follow along for aviation adventures, backcountry flying, and camping from the cockpit. ?

From skydiving at sunrise to flying my dog over an abandoned Playboy Mansion, this video is packed with aviation, adventure, and nostalgia. We kick things off with a freefall jump, then take off in my Cessna for a stunning golden-hour flight over rolling Midwest landscapes - including a low pass over a historic Playboy property. We spot deer on a remote grass strip, land on turf, and explore the beauty of general aviation, bush flying, and flying with pets. If you love small planes, vintage airstrips, or skydiving stories, you're in the right place. ? Skydive. Fly. Explore. Repeat. ? Merch pre-orders coming soon ?

With no time to go out and film a full video, here is a quick update on shirts and life. Next week will go back to normal! Im very excited for the upcoming videos! See you next week!

This was one of those days you wish you could bottle up. My buddy and I hopped in my airplane and flew out to meet our friends-who were already anchored out on a sailboat-for an epic BBQ on the water. From takeoff to touchdown to tying up at the dock, this was a perfect Midwest summer hangout. This video captures the full journey: flying the plane, meeting up at the marina, grilling on the sailboat, and soaking in one of the best sunsets of the season. It's days like this that make being a pilot so worth it. ?? Flying, boating, BBQ, and friends-what more could you ask for? Welcome to another "Best Day Since Yesterday." ? Shirt pre-orders are dropping soon! Keep an eye out here or follow me on Instagram for updates and behind-the-scenes content. IG: @austinlankford

**We flew to the middle of nowhere and camped under my airplane.**? With just a wing tent, a campfire, and some steaks, my friends and I set up for the ultimate backcountry camping trip. We fished, cooked over an open flame, and woke up to a thick, unexpected fog that made it seem like we might not make it out. ? Gear used: Tent under the wing, campfire grill, fishing rods, and a Cessna (or your actual aircraft model). ? Pilots: Austin Lankford + friends ? Location: Remote backcountry airstrip (or drop location if you want to include it) If you've ever dreamed of airplane camping, flying off the grid, or just unplugging for a night with friends, this video is for you. ?

In this video, I take my dog on his very first flight in a small airplane - and it was an unforgettable day. We flew from our local airport to a quiet grass runway in the countryside, the perfect destination for a peaceful hike. This was my dog's first time flying in a general aviation aircraft, and he handled it like a pro. Flying with pets is one of the best parts of being a private pilot, and today's aviation adventure reminded me why I love it so much. From takeoff to touchdown, this flight had everything I enjoy about recreational flying - great weather, smooth air, and a four-legged co-pilot riding shotgun. Whether you're a fan of aviation content, dog adventures, or just enjoy relaxing pilot vlogs, I hope you enjoy this glimpse into a simple but meaningful trip. ?? Aircraft: [Insert your airplane model] ? Destination: Grass runway near [optional location] ?
