Maybe you recognize Ryan Ramsey’s name through reading his product reviews in Model Aviation and Park Pilot magazines, or you have tuned in to his YouTube channel, Pilot Ryan Media. Perhaps you have met him at a flying field on a warm summer day, putting his newest RC jet through its paces, or at the flightline at the National Electric Fly-In (NEFI). Now you can see Ryan like never before, cohosting the March 15 episode of AMA Air with Matt Ruddick. You can learn more about Ryan at www.pilotryanmedia.com and watch the episode at www.youtube.com/modelaircraft. Here are some viewer comments made in the live chat during the episode:

Brian Chambers: Guys don’t forget to teach the upcoming generation how to fly—it’s so rewarding.

Keith Christie: Ryan crashes before he gets to the runway!

Nelson Ramos: Nice show.

Spencer Keith: Been a great show. First time and I’m subscribed and will be back.
