Chapman Farm Pumpkin Drop
Просмотров 286Год назад
We've been going to an annual fly in at a farm near Elma, WA each August. They have a pumpkin dropping contest and I have my daughter doing the dropping out the back door. Not the best video as I had the boom extended a little too far so it was bouncing around. This is a 360 degree video, so you can use your mouse or finger to look all around in any direction.

(SOLD) This has been the most fun aircraft I have flown. With light fuel and just me on board, I'm off the ground in 400 ft and climbing at 1,400fpm. What drew me to this plane was that it was rebuilt 1995 like it came from the factory. I am a purist, and even with the only aftermarket addition of the VG's this plane is ever better in low speed handling and does not affect its classic look in m...

We flew into one of the last airports in Washington state we have not been to. This is in the very NE corner of the state. Quite Beautiful area!

well done
They're wonderful little airplanes.
What a beauty and great airplane the Tri-Pacer is. As a teen, I flew that and Cessna 150's towards earning my student/private pilots license. Sweet memories. Nice video, thanks for sharing.
Brilliant!
This is my retirement dream!
You can do it!
Beautiful video! The Tri Pacer is just one of the many aircraft we have at the Piper Aviation Museum. Currently it's one of our flying exhibits! Stop by Lock Haven when you can!
I know the owner is wanting to take it to distant places, so hopefully someday! This plane is like a museum piece with about 40 hours total since rebuild.
I had always heard that an up-canyon departure there was sketchy but it really doesn’t look that bad. What time of day was your departure?
This was around 8:30 am, with calm winds, although quite warm out already. We went this way as we needed to go over Washington Pass to Mazama. Might be sketchy on a windy day, but other than no good landing options, this is a beautiful area!
Do you have a socal mechanic referral?
Did you do a stop at KVCB in northern california about a year or so ago? I remember running into a tri pacer pilot that was headed to socal from the washington area a while back. Small world if so
That was us! A year ago. Here is the video from that trip: ruclips.net/video/6ykMbOu4RuQ/видео.htmlsi=BL9WBM0zBnR8GXAz
beautiful
Breathtaking video!
Why have aviation videos now become music videos? Not Right!
I am not a good narrator but like to share the scenery. Most of my other videos have pure airplane noise.
Dang that runway is a cart path
Shady Acres? Yes it is pretty narrow. There was another airport west of there called Spanaway that was even narrower. My instructor got me comfortable with small airports during my initial training 20 years ago, so is fun to take others into them when they have had nothing but 100' wide runways.
Yall ever get out east?
I'll be up there in June for the short wing piper convention in Madras. Very excited!
4:12 One of the most beautiful take-off's I've seen! Amazing video, hope to see more in the future. :)
I was looking at the manual for the 135 hp version of the Tri-Pacer and was surprised that there were no landing or takeoff distance tables. There was a 135 hp Tri-Pacer accident at Lake Wenatchee back in '94. Hit the trees on takeoff.
Gorgeous video, BTW, with great music!!!
What's the deal with landing and taking off on the highway? How did you do that?
Did not land on the highway. used the abandoned strip for that, however, the washouts were very soft and I deemed it unsafe to take off from. Fortunately, CHP and some utility workers were there and were able to help watch for and stop any traffic that came along.
@crash812 oh, OK. I was thinking the hotel had a deal somehow where you could land on the highway. Thanks for clearing that up!
Incredible!!
Just stumbled across this video and really enjoyed it. I subbed and can't wait to watch the other videos. Be safe.🤘🤘
Sweet! It was your videos that made me fall in love with the Tri. Sorry I missed the opportunity to buy yours.
Amazing!!! Thank you for sharing your inspirational adventure!
Just gorgeous!!! I bet the air smells SO fresh up there. I can almost smell this video. LOL Can't wait to get up there in my Tri-Pacer!!
Just make sure you reach out to Paul Wolf a the WSDOT to make sure it is open. Scheduled closed Oct 1 - June 1 although sometimes it opens early. This was a 100 degree day and I used up ALOT of runway on take off at 1,800 lbs. You'll be ok with a 150-160HP.
Great to see circle peak, indigo lake again. I was on the lookout summer of 1961 along with green mountain lookout.yes I’m old
Gorgeous plane and great capture. Love the other videos.
Is this Tri-Pacer still for sale and where is it located ? I just today watched your cross country video when you bought it, and would like to talk with you.
Currently under contract to sell, but I'll leave this up until it is officially sold, and will make a note if it needs to get relisted for any reason.
Thanks for your response. I'm a PT photographer that hoped to get into shooting stills & videos of aircraft, and was amazed by some of your shots taken in incredible locations, and seemingly so close to the camera airplane. Can you share any info on how these great shots were done, and "who" might have done them ? I'd be very appreciative...Stephen
If you are referring to the "selfies," I have a 360 degree camera (GoPro Fusion) mounted on a microphone boom, clamped to the wing struts. Other still shots like the title page, was an air to air phot shoot done by a local photographer.
Great video, dude, thanks so much for sharing your trip. My father was a CFI teaching from Carpenter Airport outside of Charlotte in the 60's, and took me flying numerous times in a TriPacer. The Piper fleet back then was only 20+/- yrs old...can't believe the craftsmanship shown with you flying N950ID 50-60- yrs later. Wow ! I don't believe there will be many Cirrus's or newly designed aircraft flying 60 yrs from now, although I may be wrong. Fair winds and sunny sky's to you, mountain skimmer.
Loving these shots! Was looking for your sale posting, maybe already sold? Also why are you selling?
Mission change. We want to go further faster.
Nice video. Did you sale your aircraft yet?
I imagine most viewers are loving all the scenic shots, but I would have loved to see a few pics of the cockpit and instruments. Show me the interior, not just the exterior. After all, the video is about the plane too!!! .
Sad to see you sell. My plane is the next row over, and I enjoyed seeing you in the pattern.
Great video…thanks.
The Tri-Pacer was one of my first and definitely my most favorite model airplanes when I was a kid. As an adult I still loved seing it in Flight simulator for the PC. I've had nearly two decades of real flight time in all kinds of airplanes and helicopters, but Ive only ever seen one in person once, and it was looking sketchy as hell. LOL! I currently fly a super Cub, but the Tri-Pacer still remains one of my all time favorite aircraft!
Is there a way I can contact you?
How much are you asking? Always loved your videos.
$43,000 I think I saw in the listing on Facebook
Yes
I've still got 100's of hours of footage I'll be working through and posting even after it is sold.
The Fly Chaser!
Awesome video. I bought my Tri Pacer last October. ruclips.net/video/GhBYLeUxh_I/видео.html
Incredible views! That takeoff over the mirror was awesome.
Hey there, I am a student pilot out of S43 and am looking at a Tri-Pacer as a possible first aircraft, would you ever be willing to have a passenger on a flight sometime? I realize this is a long shot but I'm very curious about seeing how it flys in person. Would pay my share, of course.
Yes absolutely.
I'm not sure how to connect as I do not want to post my contact info publicly.
Are you FATPNW on Facebook? Looks for my many posts there so we can connect.
Great videos.
What a wonderful flight! I got my private in a Piper Colt in 1969. Dreamed about owning one, or it’s sibling the tri-pacer…
Forgot to mention I was flying out of a farmers field just east if Denver.
Great landing!
beautiful
Best looking Tri Pacer , and I live in Tri Pacer country !
Better camera work than most Tri Pacer videos !
Absolutely incredible.
I purchased N4773A 1956 PA22-150 in 1977, eyes went tu 1986 and sold it but put almost 400 hrs on it. Was living in the mountains north of Spokane. Wonderful back country plane with a 49 pitch prop it would jump in the air and climb 700 fpm with full fuel and 4 170 lb riders @ 90 degrees and 2700 msl. Not a cruiser about 105 fully loaded. Nice looking find you have.
Beautiful plane !!
Great choice in music. I’d say your airport manager needs to have a word with the plow operator. Don’t drag a main in that snow bank!
