- Welcome to my home based airport, 4MI8 - Darrell's Landing, ~1800' of turf that launches and lands my Robertson STOL equipped C-150. This video chronicles a typical evening hop around a few eastern Michigan counties in my little bird, with some local airstrip fly by action, scenic views of US / Canada waterway, a full stall demonstration, and subtitled comments for added detail.
Im just enthralled by this. Pull your plane out of the garage, takeoff in your backyard and go anywhere you want. Coolest thing ever. What a dream. You living life dude!
Seeing the beautiful Cessna golden yellow color scheme transported me back to 1969 when I took some of my first flying lessons at Mitchell Field in the Western burbs of Chicago in a similar 150. Thanks for the great quality video.
Honest little aircraft that behaves well and is a comfortable trainer. 150 for fun, 172 for family, 180 for biz. What a legacy.
Still one of my favorite videos. A stol 150 looks like a great little plane
You young Sir are living our dream!
Darrell - The placement of your two camera's was the best I've seen.
That is my dream home and backyard right there man. Thanks for uploading, safe flying.
Please, no music, just airplane ✈️
Very nicely flown and filmed,you take a pride in those greaser landings too,thanks for sharing the flight with us and yes I would love to see a walk around of your beautiful Cessna 150 together with its history lines.
One of the most beautiful videos i've seen, and i've seen a lot... Lovely place, great airplane, Very nice flying.
You got a beautiful aircraft and you know how to use it. Excellent video.
My passion for the 150 goes back to my childhood and flying them with my dad. The '67 is my favorite paint scheme. You have a nice "Goldenrod" one there! Loved this video! Thanks for sharing!
Very nice! Love the 150 and really admire your little home-airfield paradise!
I love this video I wish I had an airport in my backyard
Great video. Reminds me of when I learned to fly many decades, licenses and ratings ago. The last two landings on the grass were phenomenal. I turned the sound off because the music was distracting, I just like the natural sound of the engine.
why the music ??? why ? why??
bob williams i agree.
GoPro now has a filter to correct for the rolling shutter distortion of the prop. Nice video and thanks, Darrell. Learned to fly in a 150 and still am fond of it's abilities.
Now this is true flying enjoyment! A little puddle jumper and lots of grass fields. great for sight seeing.
I'm a student pilot and enjoyed your video. I own some land and this inspires me to learn more about landing and taking off on grass.maybe I will build my own strip some day too.
Nice flight. Brings back great memories. I earned my private pilots license in 1979 in a 1976 Cessna 150, N8585J, that was the exact color as this plane.
That awesome man! Love the 150!
Thanks for the tour!
Great video and 150.
We're definitely lucky here in NW Ohio and your area of Michigan to have such great scenery by air.
Beautiful Cessna. I love the color combo. Enjoyed watching this video.
Thanks so much for this great vid! Logged over 500 hrs in my buddy’s 150,miss those days.
Beautiful video. Thanks.
Such a cool video. I envy you. That is the kind of arrangement I want so bad!
Cool....thanks for the memories.
Nice 150's are always fun
That was great- enjoyed watching it. Wouldnt mind having a fully functional airstrip/ hanger in my backyard as well.
Beaaautiful brother. U r living the life
Just beautiful. Thank you for taking me along. The touch downs are the most gentle I've ever seen. I'm not cranking, but I liked the segments without music better. Thanks again!
i envy you.....love the cessnas....love your strip!!!
Awesome video Darrell. Thanks for posting it. Love the camera angles. It would've been great to hear ATC though.
You ever thought about converting her with a Texas tail dragger kit? Along with the stol kit would be perfect to explore the bush strips in your area. She is a beautiful a/c.
There's another guy with a Debonaire who flies out of his backyard too. Sold my 150G years ago ... fun plane and a good time builder.
Great, relaxing video. Liked the subtitles too!
I learned to fly in a C-150 that looked exactly like that. N8585J Sure brought back some memories!
Great Video Darrell. Just bought my first plane - 1975 C150M. Just along Lake Huron in Kincardine.. Look forward to heading down your way someday.. if the weather ever clears!
Safe flying.
Nice video! Based out of FNT. Hard to beat hopping around the grass strips!
One nice 1967 Cessna 150G and some pretty country to fly over. The Pilot could use a little work on tracking the runway centerline. Thank you for sharing. Mike Kelly
Nice 150, looks like a "K". Nice video and put together very nicely.
+C150hp150 This is a great first plane or someone taking flying lessons. Me and 2 friends are going to be looking at a 1972 Cessna 150L WITH 2002 avionics on it. The gentleman is asking $17,900 but says he is a very motivated to sell it. It has the log book and everything done to it since it was new. In the end I believe it is nice to know you own the plane once you get your license. We hope to move up to a 172 once we all get it.
I see a lot of these 150's for sale under $20,000. Wish us luck. We are all between 50-52 years old but I believe it is never to late to live out a dream.
C150hp150 , same boat, only at 60 now. Flew in Civil Air Patrol when I was 16, then went into the Air Force. Never did make the time or the commitment to do this as other things always we're front and center. I can say I Own a Harley Road King though, took me long enough.
My dream home! Tidy Cessna too.
Was that supposed to be music in the background or was the 150 about to throw a connecting rod bearing?
Every pilots dream. Congrats!
A BIG plus for the 150's... 40 degree flap availability. Loved the 40 degree flaps...
Cool video thanks for sharing
Great video, very inspiring. Hope to build a strip on my property one day too!
Absolutely: TWO THUMBS UP!
This is wonderful! :D
Darrell, your video is a true tribute to what is great about RUclips. I so much enjoyed seeing your beautiful Cessna 150, one of the cleanest ever, and your beautiful home and airstrip are truly something to be treasured. I look forward to seeing more videos from you in the future, and what would be really nice, is some real-time narration thrown in from the cockpit. Perhaps you can rig an audio interface between your headset and Go Pro cameras. I've seen this done on other videos, and it appears quite simple an inexpensive, I feel it would add so much to what you are already bringing. I also would love to see a detailed video of the plane itself, maybe some great interior shots as well as a peek at the engine. I truly admire the setup you've been blessed with Darrell, and thanks again for the wonderful video, it is so much appreciated., Michael
+Michael Higgins Michael - Appreciate the kind words and feedback, and glad you enjoyed it. Yes, I am blessed and make note of that each new day. The bird is a creampuff, I'm the 4th caretaker of it since 2005, first flying from Wichita on 3/16/1966, it will mark its 49th year in a few more days. I have been thinking of a ground video showcasing it, will have to get on that. It is as well kept under cowl and inside as the exterior looks, and I expect it will remain flying long after I'm gone to meet those previous owners on the other side. Regards, Darrell
Props!!!!! well done
your runways are beutiful
whats the takeoff difference with the Robertson mods.A WAG looks like about4-500 to takeoff.Great plane and I love those 150s
Love it
Cool little video!
And you didn't blow any grass in the hanger when you returned! :-)
What a great video Darrel. Just subscribed and liked. Greetings from EDHE.
James Bond 007 style, that is cool.🛩😎
Nose gear never touched the centerline once! :)
I'm envious
Nice takeoff too
Any chance you could upload this video with no music?
Or, just stick with the heavy metal that sounded like Ratt.
Obvious troll is obvious.
pingpongpung At least I’m a pilot. You couldn’t fly a kite! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
🖕😂🖕
You could just mute video, find a sound wav of a Cessna C-150 and wallah! You have it! ha ha
Great Video!
Hello Darrell , I live in mid Michigan and I just recently purchase a Cessna 150 with a stol kit.
It only has 500 hours on the engine, new tires, ADS be in and out, new paint, it’s a peach! Soon I will be starting my flight training. Oh and I have 40 acres, 660 feet north and south 2400 E. and West!
I sure would like to talk to you about that stol kit.
Please text me at fiveoneseventwoeight2fivefourthree3!
Hope to hear from you.
I wish I could attach a picture of my plane
It's a magic carpet!
I like your videos I live in Michigan and have spent a lot of time in the Port Huron area and in Sarnia boating, I have always wanted to fly but because of health reasons it has eluded me. Hope you make a few more videos like flying the Saint Clair river to Lake St Clair would be a nice video!
Thanks Craig, I'm in the book, call me - maybe I can pick you up at PH and give you a first hand view!
Holy crap! The music wrecked whast should have been a fun video.
Love your video. Would love to come up with you sometime
is that lower door hinge loose? or just the camera?
AWESOME video!!!!
Thanks for a nice, semi local, video. JB - KOZW, 45G
Nice setup! I believe I'm now the proud owner your airplane's sister ship - "86J." Stumbled across this and just noticed the similar N number!
Nice.. i've Question How long runway does a cessna 206 need.
That was fun. Thanks
I Like Adventure Plane Like Cessna 150 And Cessna 182
beautiful home, hangar, air strip, and 150. you are truly blessed. enjoyed watching very much. 5 1/2 years later, you still have the 150 or did you upgrade?
Please show stol gear on wings etc and maybe a video showing actual takeoff and landing distance. I have a small property of under 10 acres and have 220 m to play with one way in one way out so naturally I am interested to know if anyone is successfully getting their 150 in and out of small properties.
i liked the music
We just bought our first, FJBN is a 1975 150-M as well! We'll be based in Centralia for now, but will move it to Parkhill in the summer.
What's your reg Rodney?
I can't wait to win the lottery and have the world by the ass like you. i'm gonna do the same thing, nice little grass strip, hell, maybe I'll buy the piece next to 'ya ! I hope my C208 is not too loud...
Cool
Man I would love your backyard to fly my jet wow lots of room lol
first song is a backing track to Lay it down by Ratt, right?
is there some room to land my 747?
Pretty plane!
was this plane for sale recently? I thought I saw it listed on craigslist a couple months or so ago.
Low level flying, buzzing airstrips, graveyards full of them, i recommend watching Air Safety Training for World War 2 Pilots (1943-Restored) here at youtube, you can thanks me on your 70th birthday for the recommendation.
Great video enjoyed in my opinion I don't like having wheel covers on a Cessna
because I don't see the point of them besides looks and there just a pain when doing a walk around check
What is the process to get a grass landing strip put on your land
Darrell, Did you sell your Cessna? Pretty sure I saw it for sale a while back. Did you replace it with anything else? I sure hope so. Thanks.
Yes - I sold it a couple months back. As much as I enjoyed it, I found a new love in a Flight Design CT, and only room for one in the hanger... Working on camera mounts, perhaps I'll do an "intro video" for a tease of what's to come. With 100k+ views on this video, I'm inspired to dust off the GoPro.
@@darrellwitham832 I still like the Cessna.
Hey Darrell what a nice ride, beautiful country side and well maintained air strips, if it wasn't for the fact of pulling the bird out of the hangar by the prop and not keeping the center line on taxiways and runways you would have had an Above Standard on my score card. Just little habits we can always correct on behalf of our airmanship. Thanks again Darell, really enjoyed it !
I'm looking at a 150m tail dragger. would be my first plane, how is this plane as a flyer and fuel burn. I've only flown my father's Lance and it's 18g a hour burn lol. his plane is bit of a hand full at our airport, (short runway) and I'm interested in this plane just for something small and affordable that would be fun to fly and be able to put down just about anywhere
do you have to make any radio calls?
Why put music in there...?
Love Cessna's and the 150 series, but if you have that money it's time to do an UPGRADE. Kitfox... Cub...Mooney ....ect...... also less music more talk....
why no flaps on the take off at 13.40
no need for flaps
Do you walk the field some time for holes or rocks??
Probably looks for any hazards when mowing.?
Shouldn't some of the views be from the cockpit? I personally like seeing the pilots view of the plane. Also, most people do not like the music, it takes away from hearing the awesome sounds of the engines. I guess music would only be OK (if it was barely heard) as very very low background noise, but most do not like it at all. Thanks for sharing your videos!
Just came across your video, sweet! How are your cameras mounted ?
Thanks, Bob
Attached using the GoPro enclosure, mounted to an inspection hole cover. Screwed to the plane with existing holes.
I'm over at D95 with a 150G as well...interested in doing some air-to-air photography?
+Tim Wood
Hey Tim - sounds like a good time, would like to do that. I have landline in the book, give me a call. Regards, Darrell
+Darrell Witham Ok, will do next week...I'm flying that "Operation Good Cheer" this weekend...
Jeeze, Kill the Music !!
