Kenny Keller presents a short promotional YouTube video announcing the new HOGS flight patch (designed by Todd Ketterman) and a new HOGS ball cap available as part of a Halloween Pro Pilot special that ends on Halloween night. He summarizes recent content updates (17 new private pilot videos; 21 new R44 videos), plans to rebuild a free radio communications course, describes Pro Pilot membership benefits (ground school, quizzes, FAA written practice, mobile app), and explains how new members claim their patch or cap by contacting Heather (heather@helicopterground.com).

All right, we'll see how this goes. I'm here on a Saturday, run this stuff by myself. So there's the new Hogs patch. And we're getting ready to open up the new Hogs ball cap with the new logo. And thanks to Todd Cutterman. You see here in the picture, he ordered these for us, the new patch that's on his flight suit. He came this summer and did his commercial and then was here a month ago due to his cfi. So now I'm going to go over and we're going to open up the new ball cap. So that patch is pretty cool. I never really thought too much about it. Todd was like, man, you guys got to have a patch. And let me. Let me design that for you. So we did. So we have a Halloween special going on. Of course. It ends Halloween night, and I'm getting ready to go fly here shortly. As soon as we do this, I'm going to go out and shoot some new videos. We have 17 new videos in private pilot, 21 new videos in the R44 section. And there's more to do on those. And I'm getting ready to go out and rebuild the radio communications course. It's a free course. I'm going to go out and rebuild all that. So here we go. See what we think. Limited supply, of course. So these are available with the pro pilot special for Halloween. Check it out. Now, hats are cool. I'm not a big hat guy, but I know, like, Heather's huge on hats. So there it is. The new Hogs ball cap. Looked cool in the picture. Looks cool here, I guess. Again, I'm not a big hat guy, but for those of you that love hats, looks kind of like the style, right? It's called the old favorite trucker legacy. So with private or sorry, with propilot, sign up between now and Halloween, you get your choice. Either the Hogs ball cap or the new flight patch. That's the thumbnail and that we just showed you as we went live. So that's it. Just wanted to do that real quick. Live. So much good stuff going on at Hogs. Like I said, I just mentioned everything that we've updated just in the last month. And we're going to hit it really hard the next couple weeks. Got a beautiful day today. It's cool. A little bit overcast, a little bit of sun. I'm going to go out and shoot a bunch of videos for the free radio course so we can update that course. Get it looking good. Some of those videos are really Old. So I'm going to shoot those and I'm going to do some. I have new straight in and new 90 in private in R44. But I want to go out and do 180s and anything else that we could find that we can update. You know, a lot of videos we did were in the instrument, which was great. We loved that helicopter, but it was older. And the audio system in that or audio system, the radios, you know, it was older radios, and so the recordings didn't come out as well. The recordings in the R44 are a lot cleaner, a lot crisper. The audio is so much better. And, you know, of course, R44 is fun to fly. So we've been just getting out and doing as much content as possible. I have final approach course number nine coming in. He's on his way now, driving from Texas. Another member from Texas coming from for a checkride. That's fun because that's where this started. The final approach course that we keep talking about and that we've been doing this year all started with a guy from Texas named Jamie who had 200 hours on R44. Eight different instructors, and he just couldn't get everything put together. And Texas seems to be great state. I love Texas. Love going to Texas anytime I get. But we hear a lot of people saying in Texas, very hard to find an examiner. That's just what we hear. So we have a gentleman driving up to do his commercial. He's got like 160 hours in R44 once, just get his commercial done. And the flight school he's been at, they just can't get a checkride done for him. So whatever the case is, we're gonna help them out. So if you're not familiar with this, this is the HOGS Wall of fame. Back here we have private pilot, instrument pilot, commercial pilot, and certified flight instructor. All of these are included in propilot. And we built the propilot because some people would say, hey, you know, I don't really want the monthly or yearly option. I just want everything you got, and I just want to pay one time. And for the Halloween special, we have it marked down lower than I said it would ever go. Again, actually, lower. And, you know, times are tough and you got to do what you got to do. So we have a really smoking hot deal on private or pro pilot right now. Includes all the courses. There's quizzes in the courses, FAA written test practice. We have a mobile app, all kinds of benefits to the ground school. The monthly memberships have a 24 hour test flight. So you can get in, go in and check those out. So that link is already below the video for the pro pilot and the also helicopterground.com link is down below as well and our member support link is down there too. So Pro Pilot special ends Halloween night. Get the new Hogs ball cap or your choice of the flight patch. So once you sign up, email heather heatherhelicopterground.com or you can respond when she sends you a welcome email. Heather emails every single New Member After 24 hours or so to make sure you got logged in and see if you have any questions. So you can either reach out to her after you sign up for propilot to let her know which one you want or just respond to her welcome email when she comes along. So going to wrap it up. Let's take another look at that patch. I'm going to go fly so again Saturday and I'm here running stuff on my own. So let's take another look at the patch real quick. So here is the patch and again we got to thank Todd Ketterman for taking the time to design it and he had them shipped. He wanted to make sure he liked them and he ordered them and now they're on their way to Indiana. He's shipping them today so they should be here in the beginning of the week. So Pro Pilot special, Hogs ball cap or the flight patch up to you. All right, last look there at the Hogs wall fame. We're really proud of that. We missed the digit or we missed the pictures and it was such a cool wall. Oh man, we hated tearing those down, those pictures but it was full and even if we started tearing them off, we were going to downsize the pictures but then we thought we're just going to run out again. We're going to run out of room again. What are we going to do? And one of our final approach course customers said why don't you make it digital now. We can just add members as they, as they come in. As the member testimonials come in, we can add them. So thanks for tuning in. See you next video. Peace out. It.
