Leg 4 Airplane Camping at AirVenture 2023, Riding with AeroShell, and a Tricky Return Home, in 4K
Oshkosh 2023 was a terrific event, with great airshows, excellent vendors and forums, super food, and (mostly) perfect weather. In this 4K-resolution episode of Nick and Jonesy's most excellent Oshkosh flying adventures, we share some of our favorite moments at AirVenture 2023. Then we "pull up stakes" and head home, flying 745 nautical miles non-stop. Now, a trip that long has lots of potential to be worrisome. We had technical issues. Weather was another adverse factor, along with aircrew fatigue from the super-long non-stop flight. Flying the congested "Chicago Lakefront Fly-Way" was certainly another chore which could wrinkle one's brow. But the biggest concern was the aerial gymnasti...

Просмотров 220Год назад

No other task in aviation requires so much precision, planning, or teamwork, and nothing else delivers so much fun. There are hundreds maybe thousands of tedious, sparsely-edited cockpit videos featuring the intense concentration and worried faces of pilots flying into...

The museum is only open two days each year but features hundreds of century-old steam tractors, hit-and-miss engines, bulldozers, steam rollers and even a stea...
Slow Speed Taildragger Landings
Просмотров 16 тыс.2 года назад
Today, in the Bushcat light-sport taildragger, I demonstrate one of the techniques bush pilots use to achieve their astoundingly short landing rolls, which also is the method used by STOL competition pilots to nail their precise spot landings. The technique is called "flying the wing," which means that on short final you are precisely controlling your airspeed with the pitch of the airplane. To...

This was the third day of my visit to AirVenture at Oshkosh, WI and my wingman Alex Mello and I were up early and going all-in for another splendid day of aviation greatness. We wandered into the tents and exhibits. We browsed the vendors selling almost anything you can imagine, from airplane cleaning supplies to avionics, software, flight-planning services, tools, tee shirts and every kind of ...

Today, at the enormous AirVenture festival in Oshkosh, WI, we explore the Cessna Base Camp in the North 40 camp grounds, right next to runway 9/27. This is the home of all-things Cessna and the aeronautical heart of the "Cessnas to Oshkosh" mass arrival. At any one time during Oshkosh week, about 100 Cessnas of all makes and models are parked here. Most of them arrived from Juneau, WI, as a flo...

This brief video illustrates some of the adventures and the problems facing pilots as they navigate the summer weather on their way to AirVenture, the astounding Oshkosh airshow. My buddy Alex Mello had the left seat, I flew shotgun, and we spent five hours in the sky getting from North Carolina to Wisconsin, chugging through some of the gnarliest weather I've seen in a long time. We took off b...
Flying to Sun n Fun 2022 4 2022
Просмотров 4182 года назад
In April 2022 I flew my Cessna from Pinehurst, NC to the giant Sun-n-Fun airshow in central Florida. What started as a smooth, easy ride ended up being a complex negotiation with ATC, working around build-ups in busy airspace, and managing to arrive at Lakeland before they closed the airport for the afternoon airshow. Spoiler alert: due to a camera malfunction, this video ends right before the ...
A Precise Weight and Balance Procedure
Просмотров 6962 года назад
Flyers should never "guestimate" their weight and balance calculations. In this video, I demonstrate the procedures and tools I use to compute a highly accurate weight-and-balance for the Cessna T210. This process is applicable to any high-wing aircraft and, with adaptations, could be used for almost anything with wings. The principle benefit of this procedure is the precision of the result. As...
Fly to Monroe in 7591N 3 25 2022
Просмотров 652 года назад
On Saturday, March 25, 2022 my wife and I launched before sunrise from Pinehurst NC to fly to a pancake breakfast in Monroe, NC (near Charlotte). The air was glassy smooth and we motored along at 2,500 feet checking out the scenery as the sun rose behind us. I'm learning more about video and the GoPro cameras on every trip, so while this is better I still have much to improve. Jonesy

    Hi Tony, I hang my head in shame - you are totally correct and I misidentified the plane. Can I blame my poor vision on all the wind and rain? Either way, it was a delight to meet you and Tina and I'm already looking at the forecasts for flying to Oshkosh in 2020! -- Jonesy

    Mike, you've been hanging around Cessnas too long. That's a Piper Cherokee :-) Coming from a dry climate sure made the humid piping a challenge! We sure had a lot of fun at Oshkosh despite the weather.
