Добавлен 22 фев 2024
HI! I hope you enjoy some of the stories of my adventures and the sharing of my expertise on guns, flying, ranching, and other miscellaneous knowledge I've acquired over the years. I was a cattle ranch manager for 36 years, opened and operated a game bird hunting club and the first 10-station sporting clays course in Arizona. I grew up on a cotton farm, did some custom harvesting and cotton farming in my early years. Currently I fly a Cessna 180 and a Piper Super Cub. I'm retired now and am looking forward to many more fun adventures and stories to share. Thanks for watching!

The Skunk in the Kitchen Story
Просмотров 14628 дней назад
When my wife and I were first married, about 45 years ago, we lived on a farm west of Buckeye, Arizona in the middle of nowhere. It was 50 miles from town and the nearest phone was a pay phone at a rest area on Interstate-10. We lived in a mobile home (manufactured home for you young un's) of questionable quality. A skunk found its way in and it's been the subject of one of our favorite stories...

What airport are you at? God dam non stop airplanes taking off. WTF
@@user-my3ff5lj6m Prescott AZ. Last week the tower told me I couldn’t do pattern work they were too busy. Busy airport.
First plane I ever flew in too Kent. I would have been around 6 or 7. Dad had just gotten his license and would rent one at the local airport in Sidney, Ohio to fly to shooting events around the region for Gun Week newspaper. He also rented it a few times for family trips. Mom, Dad, and 4 of us kids squeezed into that thing all the way to Texas. Dad and I flew up to Camp Perry for the Nationals one year and he offered to let me hop over the lake in the last Ford Tri-motor in commercial service, but I wasn't willing to trust anyone but Dad at the time, so I didn't take the ride.
Nice plane, I love my 56 Tri
The glorious Flying Milking Stool. A grand little machine which is pretty affordable these days. When they were intoduced in the UK they were marketed through a company at my local airfield so i got to see a lot of them. The type that gave me my love of flying as it's the first type i ever flew in.
@@mothmagic1 First airplane I flew in also.
It sounded like a Pacer with a nose wheel. Did Pacer ever need this change, as it was tough to land a Pacer and keep it straight
@@keithwalker6892 Yes!
Really enjoyed your video, as it sure brought back a lot of memories. In 1956 (a year after I made my first solo), I transitioned from a J-3 Cub to a Tri-Pacer. OMG! I had my hands full.
@@robertcieslak1861 😀
Beautiful airplane, I loved flying it.
I bought a 22-20 and people kept saying “they dont glide, they dont float” blah blah blah. Man. i came from a 182 full flaps. THAT DONT FLOAT! my tripe flies like a dream!😊
I started flying in a Cessna 140. Then went to a Piper Colt and from there to a Tri-Pacer. Compared to the 140 the trip pacer flew like a stone. It flew fine as long as you had power, but when you cut the power to land you best be prepared to lanf, because it was coming down.
Always liked the tripacer and colts as well. Never flew one though😢
@@kam1583 It was the first airplane I rode in. My dad had it. I’ve never flown one either.
@@AZRancher it's a beauty, enjoy!!
nice plane, I had never heard of a tri pacer, did they make a tail dragger version?
Yes. The trailwheel version is a PA-20
What sort of fuel burn rate?
neat plane; script your presentation please; it'd also be a good idea to shoot in a studio or hangar; love the story
Just saw one make a gear up landing at KGSO (PTI in Greensboro, NC) a few weeks ago. It was on a flight from Ohio. Not sure of the story but I've got photos of it afterward with the gear doors off, but not showing terrible damage. It is a beautiful example, but this one in the video is amazing looking. Nice job on the video too. Thanks
@@TglassWow!!!
@@AZRancher Forgot to mention it shut the airport down completely for almost 3 hours, and at the end of a political trip for a certain VIP in a black 757 who was trying to depart.
I am 75 years old and remember seeing many of these at Oshkosh in the early to mid 80’s. My second hobby is wood working and I always wanted to build one. This is the best looking one I have ever seen and I looked at over 30 or so up close. There was usually 10 or more in a row at Oshkosh for 4 or 5 years then The RV’s took over. Speaking of RV’s the interior matches Jimmies Elvis jet RV! 😂
@@patlyle2621 Wow. You have had the opportunity to look over quite a few barracuda’s. That’s great. Yes the interior does remind me of Jimmie’s Elvis Jetstar. 😀
I was doing some more thinking and I believe the 3 want to build home builds in the early 80’s we’re the Christian Eagle, Barracuda, and the Zenith.
Busiest airport ever
@@BruceBusby It seems busy to me… but then I’m a rancher that flys not a pilot that ranches. 😀
I had a 69 Barracuda 340S. Wish I stillhad it 😢
@@MrThemold People love the Barracuda. I can see why you wish you still had it. What engine did it have?
Great video, I own one and would love to be put into contact with this one. PM me please.
Wonderful. Love the high quality build and finish, and a great design. Interior reminds me of the vans from the 1970’s!❤
@@scottmatson4816 It does now you mention it!!! 😀
Reminds me of back when Nevada brothels were in their heyday .
@@heywhatsthatsmell 😂
Love to know the flight specs with the IO 550 vs the IO 360 ! Range cruise speed! Again what a beautiful aircraft 👍Thanks 😊
@@ITSFUNZ To the best of my knowledge no one has put a IO550 in a Barracuda. It would be an interesting choice of engine. I’ve have more than a few hours flying behind a 0520 Continental and I really like them. 👍
Can't hear what he is saying😮
Love the flush glass, truly a work of art and I'm sure it flys like a dream.
@@kevinsellsit5584 👍
Wish they could have done the interview in a hanger!….
@@gwhgwh3726 You are correct. We may have redo that video.
What is the significance of the 8 ball on the tail?
@@Pilotc180 The significance of number 8 is in memory of a friend of the owners son that passed away. Thanks for asking.
New to me, also, and a really lovely aircraft, beautiful lines, and the cruise speed that those lines give it...
@@lohikarhu734 Thanks for watching. 👍
Beautiful example of the type. Thanks for sharing. I'm the chairman of the Oshkosh homebuilt parking area (parking, not camping) along the flight line that includes the brown arch and Homebuilt Headquarters. This is where we'd park a Barracuda if we ever see one. It's been a very long time since we had one at Oshkosh. I hope the plane could make it to Oshkosh one of these days! In the class of great wooden planes including Falco, GP-4, and Barracuda. True classics. We do get Falcos in our parking area. Haven't seen a GP-4 in a very long time, either.
@@CarlBrainerd I’m around airplanes nearly every day. This the first Barracuda I’ve seen. That’s why I thought it might make a good video. Thanks for watching.
I spotted a Barracuda taxying out of the parking area in OSH 2021, tail #N599JD, with an "Ohio State" logo on the tail. Got some pics and video.
@@aircraftadventures-vids Cool. Pretty rare to actually see one in real life.
@@aircraftadventures-vids 👍
The name Prescott was mentioned in the comments. I’m guessing this is Prescott, AZ. I hear the city of Prescott, AZ, has imposed landing fees on light private airplanes.
@@chucksdesk If they have imposed landing fees I am not aware of it. I’ve flown out of Prescott AZ twice in the last two days.
@@AZRancher I got this from a friend that occasionally flies in there. He also said that those who are based there are not affected. Thanks for your quick reply. Beautiful airplane. I used to live in AZ and have friends in the Prescott area but they no longer fly. Now retired in Memphis.
Beautiful aircraft.
It sure is!
Beautiful specimen! The interior is like 1970s porn. If you can go that fast with an o360 why would you want a $$$ o540?
@@jeffreyhughes7107 Sipping gas and hauling a**.
@@AZRancher …and getting a** with that Ron Burgundy interior - stay classy!
@@jeffreyhughes7107 😂😂😂
That would be 210 hp for 5 minutes in the yellow arc.
What’s the useful load?
@@darrylday30 950 lbs useful load.
@@AZRancher Wow! That’s the same as my Piper Arrow! Does it have a back seat?
@@darrylday30 No back seat is a two seat airplane.
@@AZRancher When the time comes to sell my share in the Arrow, this might be perfect for my wife and I. Thanks for sharing, that’s a beautiful airplane.
@@darrylday30 Thanks for watching. 👍
I'm an 85 year old non-flying airplane nut and I've never heard of this model. Thanks for sharing video of a beautiful aircraft.
@@dlkline27 Thanks.
nice plane too noisy video
@@mklnm Yes! Prescott airport has been taken over by Embry Riddle University. They now have non-stop training traffic at the airport. Yesterday the tower told me I couldn’t do pattern work because they were too busy to handle the traffic they had. Something needs to be done. Thanks for the comment.
@@AZRancher Sounds like the sound track for the attack on Pearl Harbor.
Yes. I need to figure out how to filter out the background noise.
@@i.r.wayright1457 It kind of is. Embry Riddle University flys training flights ALOT.
Gold wing doors, they both said it.
could have waited 30 seconds before filming. just saying...
@@BlueDude-w4p You are correct. 👍
Kent, have you been to Osh Kosh?
@@hughhayden6865 No. Hard to believe isn’t it?
Besides being the band "Heart's" favorite aircraft, that one is the nicest one I've ever seen!
Beautiful!
Some nice rifles!
@@gila-clifffirewood5796 Thanks!!!
Nice plane!
Wow very nice to see someone hold the stock on your upper arm the way you should! Love the rifles! 👍🏽😊❤️🇺🇸
@@jeffryrichardson9105 Very few people know the proper way to hold these anymore. Thanks.
Nice video. I have a few of these but only one with open sights. I would be very interested in learning more about how you did the peep sight. Thanks for the video.
@@MarcosCaminante A gunsmith in Washington state did the peep sight. It’s been many years ago now. If I can find some paperwork on it I will share it with you. Thanks.
I have 1500 hours of flying the Cessna 180, it's a great airplane.
@@langstonrowe8243 For years I’ve said you shouldn’t ever fly a Cessna 180 because from then on you will always compare every other airplane to it and none measure up to it. Great airplane!!!
Come on up and do a walk around on my old 180. Also is time to take you fishing on the river.
@@cub6zt Sounds like a great idea. 👍
Love it. My aunt and uncle dropped in for a visit earlier this year in their 185 Skywagon. It was great that they could land on my neighbor's dirt strip a mile from my house, rather than having to land at the closest formal runway 25 miles away. They have a hangar in the corner of an alfalfa field at their place they use as their airport. He flew Cobras and Apaches in the Army.
@@JeffKnoxAZ Great airplanes those 180 and 185 Cessnas. 👍
Holy cow!!!. Thanks for sharing. 🇺🇲🌲🔥🔪
@@jasonaffeldt7838 Glad you enjoyed it.
That was a funny store, but living in Arizona is always a challenge, I got a story it happened just 2 months ago, I just got home from back surgery and I was in the front room in my chair , will at 3:30am when I wake up along come Mr rattlesnake, the snake has gotten into the house by the doggy door, luckily I had a 22lr setting by the chair and it had snake shoot in it I shoot Mr rattlesnake right in the head, no more snake. That in the adventure of living on ranches in Arizona. I remember and still have the habit of checking the phone to see if others are on the phone talking, party line hahaha but sadly Arizona is not Arizona anymore it is California
Great rattlesnake story. Thanks.
❤ love it
@@crystalsearsshaul3845 Thanks
I wish they would make the #3 carbine again .

Now that looks like a good time! Hard to beat a day like that with the fam.
