Big Shorts Pro - Velocity

Through my friend Zach, I knew that Tom was building an airplane, but didn't know much about it. Since I already wanted to learn more, he seemed like the perfect fit for this contest video. Little did I know that he was building not just any airplane, but a Velocity XL 5; an experimental home-built aircraft that looks nothing like your average Cessna. Growing up, I always wanted to be a pilot, so this was a really fun experience for me to geek out over aviation technology. Not only was the plane impressive, but Tom ended up being awesome to interview and film. He has a great sense of humor and I love his passion and his excitement for building his own aircraft. He was a great sport about filming and I had a blast making this video with him.
