As someone who spent 38 years helping build aircraft with Fairchild Republic and Lockheed Martin including the A10, F22, C130 and mods to the C5 you gave the best advice I have heard about pushing it. Push it, but do it slowly and never take the unnecessary risk that could end it all. Live to fly again tomorrow. Great video Mike.

In case anyone is wondering I found some specs in an article: "Turbulence, a heavily modified Lancair Legacy and set a world record for the fastest single-engine turboprop with a speed of 438.02 mph. Turbulence has an 850-hp Pratt & Whitney PT6A-42 engine, custom five-blade MT propeller, and custom cowling, wings, and tail section. The entire fuselage is reinforced, and the airframe is 7 inches wider and 4 feet longer than a Legacy with a 32 percent larger rudder and tail."

Guys like this guy keep the world moving forward, from Boeing and Cessna to NASA. Innovators
-
The sound of the fly over is absolutely incredible.. Mike, an aviation legend/pioneer. A true inspiration..
-
Man 22 minutes goes by so darn fast. I loves these videos.
-
The last four minutes of this video, gives me as much admiration as your other capabilities . Wisdom is learned not given.Thanks for sharing Mike.
-
As a relatively new ultralight pilot in Australia with a big love for all the bush flying vids, that last comment was a very good reminder. The first and foremost goal of any flight should be for everyone to come home safely.
-
An truly amazing plane but it really makes me think just how fast the single piston engine fighters were flying in WW2
-
Still glad you guys are okay! And glad we're back to the regular videos again!
-
Now that I've watched this video, it's back to work! Love you Mike. Please stay safe.
-
I appreciate your comments about safety. For me, every preflight I'm looking for reasons NOT to fly. Every approach to land I treat as a go-around. Being in the right state of mind is hugely important for flight safety.
-
I have the privilege to assemble and test the PT6 for a living, and it's absolutely amazing to see our product in work on such an awesome aircraft! Love the videos! Can't get enough!
-
If any young man is looking for a role model, look no further than Mr. Mike Patey. Your passion, character and ability are unmatched. Keep doing what you love, Mike.

Mike Patey, thank you again brother. I hope you realize your wisdom carries to a lot of us. -Rolando

When the most respected aviator on YT speaks, the world should listen! Wise words indeed. 👍🏽
-
I really admire your "Test Flight" discipline of not having too many people around.  We Work with with high performance aircraft. At least half an hour before the flight, I have to bring all my thoughts to be just about the flight. If I am not comfortable with my own level of concentration, we will scrub the flight irregardless of inconveniences to anyone else.

Mike, I highly respect you for the words you spoke 20+ minutes into this video about how your thinking has changed about your test flights. And for all of your projects and creations. I like it that you’re not into showboating. That way you’ll be around for many years showing us your work and teaching us your skills.
-
Mike, I love your philosophy on how you do your test flights. It fits your methodical approach to everything you do and is a huge reason for your success in all that you do.
-
The positive energy in you Mike is huge. It shines like the Sun. Thank you for sharing it and inspiring us all to be better.

With age comes wisdom, but without wisdom age may not come, glad you and Josh are still here with us sharing that wisdom. Nothing like the sound and smell of a GT
