Thank you, it was the beginning of a great road trip.

Amazing that this airplane sits outside in the weather. It looks like it has just been painted flat black.

Thank you so much for such an excellent comment! You've added to the history. I will one day go back there and remake the video with your information included. Do you know where Brodie was from?

@@ontheroadwithnorm2023 I don’t know where he was born, but I know he was stationed in Bagotville in the mid sixties. That’s where my mom and dad met him I believe. He was a character! I know he settled in the Ottawa region after retirement but we lost touch ages back. If you make it to CFB Trenton, the CF-5 on the pedestal there was flown by Terry Elphick (deceased). And at Comox AFB the Hawk 1 voodoo on the pedestal was flown by my father Captain DG Elphick (deceased). I have some wonderful history with family and friends in the pilot community all over Canada, the US and Europe.

So now there will be two? Good news

@@ontheroadwithnorm2023 MeierMotors in Germany has just started working on a Dora. Looking at all of the Fw-190D wrecks and projects, it is possible that it may be the Flugwerk Fw-190D replica from the Military Aviation Museum in Virgina getting new work. (It has never flown and has a questionable Allison setup.) Also the owner of the museum is having a Jumo 213 built. airfighters.com/photo_9999_157035.jpg Or it could also be Eric's project from Belgium since he passed away in 2022. ruclips.net/video/Kr_8cmQl7Ys/видео.html

It's weird that GM would design something that needs so many holes through the roof. Stupid actually. Disappointing on a 100K truck

I’ve owned Chevy’s all my life and I’ve been a fan. Never again. The 2019 Silverado LTZ is the biggest piece of shit. Their manufacturing quality control is subpar, the panels are too thin, and it shifts like absolute shit. #Chevysucks

ruclips.net/video/kaSNNBL8j-U/видео.htmlsi=JFt62yh6fTgjdY0w Be a believer! Of course I went to Blackbird Airpark but it was closed. However, both the A12 and the SR71A are very close to the museum fence and can be seen quite well from the public road. I went back a month ago and it was open. I will make a more complete video of it when time permits. The Joe Davies outdoor museum used to be called Plant 42 Palmdale Airpark. Only open on weekends. Please hit subscribe!

Absolutely!

@@ontheroadwithnorm2023 Climb rates up to 20,000ft are up to 6,000ft per minute, depending on load. XtremePrototypes makes a nice LearJet 25-28 model for MSFS2024.

That must have been one of the originals. Hard to believe they made so many and only two survive

Thank-you

Norm sent your order out topped. up and xtra stuff 😀😀😀😀

I know

Great question but sorry I don't know. I hope to see this airplane again later this year

He also called it the K I 43. It's Ki43 ki pronounced like key. There is no K or I in the Japanese alphabet.

And the cheapest oxygen meter is a Bic lighter. Stop and flick your Bic every 50 feet. If the flame is full size you are ok. When the flame starts getting smaller - the oxygen count is dropping. This particular mine has many adits going into it at many levels on the hillside. It also has huge open stopes to the valley. Tons of airflow. The lower levels would probably be different but they are flooded. Pretty much all mines that go down in BC are flooded.

Yes, we skied all over but I was with a few friends and not doing much filming. I seem to pass by your mountain every few years and have skied it three times now with my son. We love it and will come back. Hopefully next year has more snow. Did you guys get much this year?

@@ontheroadwithnorm2023 Not much snow this year till march . It is not unusual as about every 15 yrs we have a low snow year. But still good skiing for a La Nino year.

Ok I will try to drive there this summer and see if there is anything going on.

yes, meanwhile skiing in Europe is about $60 USD anywhere

I hated the GTR but it might have had a worn out set of tires on it. The Corvette had pulsing brakes and worn out tires.

I felt that the bead I did went right to the top of the glass. Interesting thing has been happening is the type of silicone we used is leaching some weird film over the glass. it's a mess. Something tells me I'll be doing this again. I feel the dozen bolt holes through the roof are also potentially leaking.

@@ontheroadwithnorm2023 this is just terrible, what can we do to file a class action lawsuit because this is not just five cars. This is thousands upon thousands of pick up trucks.

That is horrible news. It's a dumb design. They've got over a dozen holes in the spoiler for all the fasteners. Impossible not to leak. Next time I have mine apart I will super clean all the holes with lacquer thinner then silicone every hole and bolt.

It’s a pain the ass for sure. My solution is put the solid back window on there if it’s the sliding rail that cracks a leaks. But they can’t seem to tell me if the solid back window and window with the slider are the same dimensions. So fingers crossed GM corp can answer that question. The small slider is pointless in my opinion so just eliminate it if that’s a weak point in the design.

I think the worst part of the design is the dozen holes that the spoiler bolts go through. A roof with tons of holes in it. What could go wrong? How hard would it be to design this with tabs sticking up instead of bolts going though holes?

I’ve been having the same damn issue with my 2016 and my 2020 and GM dealership fixed it and it’s leaking again. Why can’t we as people who purchase these trucks form a lawsuit? It’s not fair to us.

thank-you that was a really great day.

If I was doing it again I would use a 100% outdoor silicone from Home Depot or any auto parts store for fixing the leaking window.

There are none. This one was supposed to but after spending millions this benefactor passed away and the new one has not declared his intentions. It looks to be about 2000 hours to go to finish it. Additionally this project contains a massive collection of data on the aircraft type. The really good news is another JU87 looks like it will start a reconstruction restoration soon with the intention to fly. The foundation behind it virtually guaranties it will fly in about five years.

@@ontheroadwithnorm2023 it is necessary to restore the only Ju-87 in the world - but so that it can fly...!!!

@@cyborghunter-t8007 When the project is finished, it is very likely that it will remain at the museum and only fly there. This was how Paul Allen's museum operated for the very rare aircraft, which makes sense because those planes are rare and were very expensive to restore and maintain. The museum only put a few hours on them every season. I would never expect the Fw-190 or Stuka to make any cross-country fights, but perhaps by road transport if needed.

@@ontheroadwithnorm2023 With Collings Foundation cutting back on their flying, I would wait and see what they do with their Fw-190. It still has not flown and they sent the BMW engine back for more work. If the Fw-190 only makes a few flights and retires to their museum in Stow, MA then their new Stuka may be parked there too.

And often one type would be built in three different places. Thank-you for your comment.

ruclips.net/video/YBkD62SeuGQ/видео.htmlsi=KgdNmhW0dOpjaf1x Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum in McMinnville Oregon. Home of an SR-71 and Howard Hughes's Spruce Goose. Many notable replicas Me 262, Wright Bros, Spirit of Saint Louis, and an X-15 wind tunnel mockup. They only made two mockups and three of the real thing. If this place was next to the I-5 it would be a million times more popular.

@@ontheroadwithnorm2023 Thank-you! for that info good sir!

You are very kind and so are to folks at this museum. The docents will take you under the ropes if you ask. It's two huge buildings and an IMAX theatre. Last year they had a gathering of remaining SR-71 pilots. They have the Blackbird with the highest combat hours of all.ruclips.net/video/Bhi-m5nGLow/видео.htmlsi=Yu7M2-BIi3NkHax4

amazing place to go for a walk

Glad you think so!

I got it from Santa. Great surprise!

Thank-you very much for the comment. It helps my channel.

This is our first visit.

@@ontheroadwithnorm2023 cool I have been going there for 14 years but for my father 40 years

That's awesome, you must know the history. My son and I have a similar situation with Whistler-Blackcomb. I've skied it for over 60 years and my son about 25. Its feels good to have history. @@mikeydawg5183

@@ontheroadwithnorm2023 yeah it’s a great mountain but it was very different 7 years ago before all did the big changes

Yes it can fly. It was rebuilt to much better than new. However the owner passed in 2019 and all flying activities were frozen. The estate sold the museum in 2022 and the new owned has not issued a statement of his intentions. Most people think the collection is heading to Arkansa in the next few years. This building is full of priceless WW2 aircraft. Some have had what is called a data plate rebuild or reconstruction restoration. This is where you make entirely new pieces of the entire airplane. Built without wartime conditions, no time constraints, better tools, and better labour. The result is stunning. They have a brand new Stuka. ruclips.net/video/2tMndz-pv3M/видео.html

@@ontheroadwithnorm2023 I do not think the D-13 is actually flyable without additional work. Doug Champlin had it restored again in Arizona but I don't think the engine was given the required tear-down and rigorous inspection and testing to be flight certified. It is an enormously expensive process to inspect, repair, test and calibrate all of the components on the engine. The engine shop in California is building another Jumo 213 for another client and they have been working on it for years, and are still waiting on parts and the new prop and hub before it can properly tested.

Mr 5 Cents always gives the best information on my vids. Thanks.
