I waved 'em off. Analytics show the average watch time is 8 minutes or so. Figured 20 was at the outer edge of people's endurance. This video is doing better at 11 minutes, so you might be on to something. - Don the Camera Guy.
@skywagonuniversity5023 Egads!! Even on the podcasts? My heart is broken and day is ruined. Why do some people not appreciate art? P.S great interview you had Don. Hope you get your medical back soon!
Great interview with Juan! From 1988-1995 I owned a 1972 185F on Wipline 3730’s with a Horton STOL kit. Probably the most enjoyable 1000 hours I ever logged. Flew it all over the country and landed on more runways and bodies of water than I can remember. Now I’m loving my E55 Baron…but I can only land it in the water once😂
One of the best mutual interviews I have ever seen. It helps when friend interviews friend. Like a lot of others here, seeing two friends chatting about a shared passion , just awesome. One thing too short, and Mark please please get Juan back.
Nothing like getting up in the morning on your day off having breakfast supping tea and watching these podcasts. Favourite channel by far, thanks guys.
First time here Mark and when I saw Blancolirio in the title I immediately clicked on... Great podcast, Juan and you are both interesting and entertaining to watch. I discovered Blancolirio during the Oroville spillway failure. Thanks and interview more folks like Juan, maybe hit up Mark and Mike Patey sometime...
This could have been hours long. I learned a lot about you both in 20 minutes though! Love both your channels thanks for going the podcast route and getting these stories captured.
Thank you, Juan, for leading to this and thank you mark for the content. My only suggestion is to make the interview at least 8 hours long. Believe me, I will listen to every second
What’s really interesting about Juan is his deep knowledge of many topics. I learn something new ever time he posts a new video. He and Scott Purdue are really excellent teachers.
... and Dan Gryder's Sunday evening GA crash summary. Those three are the GA three musketeers, with Pilot Debrief now providing great GA crash info as well. Not sure "Hoover" is in the same league, but he is close and closing the gap.
@@davidrose8612 Dan and Hoover provide good info as well. Gryder means well, but sometimes his delivery (or ego) get in the way of his message. All of these aviators are providing an important free public service… too bad the FAA and NTSB don’t follow suit.
Twenty minutes was about right... for an intro. Blanco is a legend, and we his fans need way more info. Next episode, let's know about Blanco's upbringing with an aviation and dirt bike emphasis. Later, cover his Reno racing experience, which should be extra important given Reno's demise last Sep. The next 20 min episode should cover his military experience. Then airlines, and so forth. Everytime Blanco is in town or you're at GOO an interview should happen. When finished, how about Blanco interviews you in a similar manner? Either way, keep the great content coming!
Great interview Mark. Not only is Juan one of the best experts in many aspects of aviation, he is also the most humble. What an asset you both are to the aviation community! I could listen to you guys all day.
Hey Mark, I'm another Mark originally from the UK but now settled in another country (France). Just discovered your channel, and it's great! Keep it up.
Good stuff man, keep it coming! BOTH, podcasts and plane details are great. I thought I knew a thing or two about Cessnas, but wow, I’ve learned so much from your videos, my favorite RUclips channel.
Juan is great! Have been subscribed to his channel for years. Sully was also an accomplished glider pilot, I think he was quoted as attributing the river landing to energy management he'd gotten from gliders.
This was bloody fantastic & very enjoyable to see a relaxed JB just having a yarn. Great video, I could have watched this for hours, you're both great on camera & knowledge. I have been following you since JB did a video with you a year or more ago & yeah I watch them all. Cheers.
Agree 💯 with what others are saying, there are times when you have to throw the algorithm based approach out the window and this is for sure one of them. You both were so good to watch and listen too, I was wanting more content. I think you could have had a Joe Rogan style 3 hour discussion and I (and many others) would be there for it! I know it’s more work all around but even if you did 2 or 3 part videos it would be worth it!
Well I saw a Skywagon Video yesterday with Mark's mooney. What I got out of the is that some aircraft are designed will excellent balance characteristics in mind, and that varies from aircraft to aircraft. That particular Mooney looked like the cockpit and passenger area were very well designed. So many folks who are not currently pilots are interested and currently watching these fantastically informative videos from Mr. Browne and Mark, people also like Mike Patey. I believe that these videos should continue to be produced certainly it will help improve the state of aviation across the board: more people passionately interested because they learn the options of aircraft and general missions, how things can be accomplished in terms of training and equipment, including what I currently believe is the most important aspect of flying: the mindset, self-checks and proper trained decisions making regarding the aspect of each and every flight. In my career, not flying, I crashed and burned a few times(thank god I wasn't a pilot at the time) before I had to accept that the most important aspect of my business was, in order, 1. the psychological preparation and training of my craft and 2. constant and really never ending improvement of basic skills, even after I actually started making money as a self-employed person. One of the most difficult periods of my life was, after having what I considered tremendous success, to have lost most of those successful gains from what I would call 1. hubris that lead to 2. lack of daily or at least periodic excellent preparation and recurrent training. In my business, however, you remain alive when you fail. Flying, to me, seems like an activity that demands the most respect in terms of training and proper understanding of one's current mental physical emotional state. All activites need to be subordinate to the proper way to fly, each and every time. The benefits look amazing, and the costs to do that should not be underestimated in terms of time and money. The penalties for not doing so are irreversible. Professional (airline and transport) pilots are constantly reviewed for following procedure. I would imagine Military pilots are similarly monitored. In my business, professional (firm employed) traders are also. The challenge comes when you do it all on you own, so to speak. As a GA pilot, or self-employed trader, you are responsible for nearly every aspect of the endeavor. If you become lax in any area, it can mean your demise. I think this is the particular challenge of a GA pilot. Watching these videos, particularly the crash reviews, has actually helped me improve my own business regarding the primacy of checklists (for complex operations) as essentially the number one thing I can do to improve my viability. I hope someday this will help me become a good pilot and be able to use this information to purchase or build the right aircraft.
Gentlemen, thanks for an informative and entertaining podcast. I watch both your channels , so this a double treat. Just keep on what you're doing it's great and yes that 20 minutes flew past which seems appropriate.
In the mid-90's friend and warbird collector Jim Terry dispatched me to rural SD to look at a Skywagon; at first glance it was a reject, but the 1953 C180 turned out to be the rare white Rhino to which Mark alludes. Long story short, I bought it with Jim's money and ferried it home. One new interior and engine, polish and paint later, I took possession of the bird and then owned it for 15 glorious years. Two friends from the wonderful "AAirline" Juan and I flew 777s for bought the plane, and it's soon going back onto the market. I miss the bird, truly a miracle of late 1940s engineering, 1950s manufacturing. Cessna really got it right; but, as you both point out, attrition is shrinking the fleet.
Great show! Yes, Sully learned to fly gliders as a cadet at the Air Force Academy. He has a commercial rating and an instructor certificate in gliders. I started watching Juan when he began covering the Oroville Dam disaster and have missed very few of his videos since then. I've also watched several of the Skywagon University videos. Great channels..
I really enjoy the long format interviews. Especially when the host and guest(s) are from the same industry or knowledge. Then it feels like a behind the scenes insight.
Love this interview. As an retired aerospace engineer, I am always interested in why accidents happen. Juan is the guy for accident reporting as far as I am concerned. Even if he makes a mistake sometimes, he is focused on the best information available and tries to be neutral and fair. That is rare. He did catch me originally with the Orville Dam, but I have always been interested in bridges and dams. They are just not as cool as airplanes! P.S.: That seemed more like 2 minutes, not 20. Please do more interviews with cool people in aviation.
Hi to Juan and Mark from Karl in Las Cruces. Thanks for ferrying my Husky and 180 from Cruces to Placerville. I currently have a fuel injected Cessna 195. I’ll be calling soon, Mark, for you tell sell a unicorn M20J with a glass panel whenever it’s done.
We have been looking for a 195 to video for what seems like forever. We get one lined up and ... nothing. Would you be interested in doing an owner interview with your 195? - Don the Camera Guy.
Great sit down & interview from both sides! Was fun and unexpected to see my old buddy JB with my newest GA friend Mark (and probably Don) behind the scenes. I think round 2 is in order!
Always an interesting video! Back in the day as a flight instructor with real world time on the C-185 I was "approved" by the insurers to train and check out new pilots on the aircraft. For lower time folks the requirement was for 25 hrs. dual!! Short and soft field takeoffs and landings, max performance climbs and obstacle clearance really demonstrated the capabilities of this remarkable machine. The most difficult technique to teach was the requirement to push the aircraft down on that spring gear during landing. I once had to convert a B737 Captain, vastly more experienced than I, on type. After 3 circuits and multiple bounces he called it quits. Its that kind of airplane. About the 185 and crashes, ground loops etc., there are two kinds of pilots. Them that have and them that will!
Man, I could’ve watched a lot more content! I wasn’t even half way through my coffee yet. I wanted Juan to talk about Reno racing in the 90s, or some of his military flying in the C-141. Those planes are long gone and it would’ve been great to hear some stories on the Lockheed Starlifter.
I subscribe to your channel and Juan's also. My Father and his buddy owned 4 airplanes together. I used to go with them every chance I got when I was a kid. The last one they owned was a Tri Pacer N6851B. I should have gotten my license, they sold the plane when I was about 16. I have always followed GA ever since. You do a great job keeping this alive with your videos and excellent commentary and the occasional bit of British humor! Best to you in 2024 Mark! @@skywagonuniversity5023
Thanks for this interview. I think it would be great to hear from Juan about what he thinks the main issues in development of the aviation youtube community are at the moment, or what sorts of things he would like to see.
I didn’t want to watch these because of their length. Bad criterion. This was great and now I want to watch the others. As a small-time moderator, I know how much more engaging it is to work with someone you know and like. That comes through in spades in the interview with Juan Brown. Thanks for broadening my horizons.
I was dismissive of the taildragger market segment because I'm into modern efficiency, but thanks to your enthusiasm I've seen the light Well, there are some cool old warbirds and the DC3 is an awesome aircraft.
If you throw a good party, people don't want to leave. I'm not going to be a pro Tuber, and it takes a lot of time to edit 45 minutes into 9, so I decided to just make what I want and folks will watch it or not. It takes millions of views to make money with videos. You make great videos. If you want to cater to the Short Attention Span folks, perhaps you could break up longer videos into subjects, and control the interview format to make that work.@@skywagonuniversity5023
Love the discussion here! I’m in the same business - and I’m seeing the same challenges as I sell aircraft nowadays. I played the same game of “what model and year aircraft is that?” with my dad when I was a kid. Dad owned the local Cessna dealership and I wanted to learn everything I could about airplanes. I got to the point where i beat dad in that game every day. Mark, did you say you learned to fly at KFUL? That is where my folks’ Cessna dealership was, and where I learned to fly and soloed from in the mid-80s.
THAT was a great interview Mark!
You're a natural!
Lets do it again jb.
Thanks JB, this was awesome. This kind of chat that would be greatly appreciated on Patreon I'm sure. Hangar Flying ha ha. Cheers.
Yes. Let's a do a few more with you. We actually interview each other. ha ha ha

Back in the day as a flight instructor with real world time on the C-185 I was "approved" by the insurers to train and check out new pilots on the aircraft. For lower time folks the requirement was for 25 hrs. dual!! Short and soft field takeoffs and landings, max performance climbs and obstacle clearance really demonstrated the capabilities of this remarkable machine.
The most difficult technique to teach was the requirement to push the aircraft down on that spring gear during landing. I once had to convert a B737 Captain, vastly more experienced than I,
on type. After 3 circuits and multiple bounces he called it quits. Its that kind of airplane.
About the 185 and crashes, ground loops etc., there are two kinds of pilots. Them that have and them that will!
So true. Yes, pushing down after the mains touch is not intuitive.

If you throw a good party, people don't want to leave. I'm not going to be a pro Tuber, and it takes a lot of time to edit 45 minutes into 9, so I decided to just make what I want and folks will watch it or not. It takes millions of views to make money with videos.
You make great videos. If you want to cater to the Short Attention Span folks, perhaps you could break up longer videos into subjects, and control the interview format to make that work.@@skywagonuniversity5023
Love the discussion here! I’m in the same business - and I’m seeing the same challenges as I sell aircraft nowadays.
I played the same game of “what model and year aircraft is that?” with my dad when I was a kid. Dad owned the local Cessna dealership and I wanted to learn everything I could about airplanes. I got to the point where i beat dad in that game every day.
Mark, did you say you learned to fly at KFUL? That is where my folks’ Cessna dealership was, and where I learned to fly and soloed from in the mid-80s.
Yes, learned in Fullerton. Scary in LA. Busy. Small runway too.
