The CJ-6 is my realistic dream airplane. It seems like it's the warbird equivalent of an early Mooney: fast, efficient, and relatively less expensive than comparable airplanes. Awesome video!
The Nanchang was one of the very first aircraft I worked on as a apprentice aero engineer in Australia. Ours had just arrived from China and was still in its original paint.
I think this plane crashed in Lancaster, CA today, rest in peace to the pilot, who may be the owner seen here :( Sep 22 2024 Aviation Safety Network: A Nanchang CJ-6A and a Yakovlev Yak-52 (N5287) experienced a midair collision near Lancaster, California. The Nanchang crashed and the pilot perished. The YAK made a forced landing and the pilot was not injured and the aircraft received substantial damage.
The brake release button in the rear cockpit is for the instructor to release the brakes in case the student runs of the runway and jams the brakes on instead of steering the aircraft back onto the runway. Our yak 52 has the identical button in the rear.

Man with the trump hat buys Chinese airplane. Right that make sense.
Trump tards don't apply logic consistently.
They’re a cheap warbird and fun. What’s the problem?
Fan tas tic! I love seeing this kind of walk around/familiarization videos. Great narrative by Mr. Hunton. I learned a lot!

Makes two of us!!!!! Totally doable

I think it was a similar one, definitely not the same pilot
Don't worry if no fuel left. CJ-6 can glide to land even better than a glider.
I love flying the Nanchang ! The Manifold pressure is read in millimeters of mercury :)
Great video and great looking Nanchang!
Funny how you imperial units guys call meters "potatos". I personally am used to metric system so i call feets "bananas". It gets me funny looks.
Beautiful! Love your videos and photos. Keep up the great work! 👍👍
Very cooooool plane!!

A lady in the St. Louis area has one!! shout out to M.H.
Nice plane!! Thanks, Hugh &Erik!! Cheers!!
Very interesting
I like the T-shirt, which looks custom made to suit for flying the CJ-6.
Did they make a straight wing variant of this plane?
Wait the. Cold War Museum? That’s in Texas no?
Trump hat and a commie plane.. 🤔
Trump supporters aren't the brightest.
Seems very complicated to operate this aircraft.
Good looking Bird Hugh! 👍🛫
great walkaround tour. thanks
Recall when they came into the U.S. back in the early 90s.
Interesting walkaround--thanks. Curious about the fairing on top of the cowl, just in front of the "nosegear down" indicator.
Air exit or a larger generator installed ... Not normal
Chinese plane, Trump hat, okay then! 😂

Looks like it would be an excellent trainer 😎😎
Thanks men.
Seems like a nice guy, but what is up with the Trump hat? How can seemingly normal people align with that dumpster fire?
Because he’s a lot better than the piece of crap in office right now

We agree to disagree. How do you like the gas prices and how is your 401k doing lately? Numbers don’t lie
@@ErikJohnston Yep. No hard feelings, just a weirdly different view on things. Biden has nothing to do with either of those things, but whatever.
@@ErikJohnston I'm down $500k in the past month and I don't blame Biden. That's the way things happen.
I love that hat!
Agreed!
Trump won. The award for worst president ever.
When they cover control surfaces with fabric what kind of fabric do they use?
recycled paper.
@@bogey361 No its either cotton or polyester. Paper isn't a fabric its paper.

Primitive.

hello message me please.
Man, I'm a Chinese, I can't fly that thing, too many stuff/buttons to operate.
