Part of what makes Flight Chops videos so successful (and entertaining) is that Steve Thorne gets to fly the planes most of us don’t have the opportunity to fly, and he gets test gear that we don’t necessarily get to use. For his latest episode, Chops and friends tested one piece of equipment that we don’t ever want to use, as he took a “refreshing dip” in brisk waters to try out a Winslow LifeRaft.
