Many Many happy returns of the day happy birthday to you Mr.Sam
I’ve watched every episode of the 401 rebuild and have enjoyed it so much! Wonder how many women , especially in my age bracket who have watched all of it? I’m 75! It’s just so fascinating to me how long it took to take it all apart and then clean, repair, allodyne, prime etc. and then to put it back together. Just awesome! Can’t wait to see it fly again. 💗
I'm not in the age bracket (30s) but I've enjoyed every episode! They're doing great work and it really seems like a good, positive team.
Thank God you are ON-AIR..............eagerly waiting to see......God Bless You , Team and the Family..............warm regards
Thank you for your positivity, glad to have you apart of this rebuild!
@@rebuildrescue Thanks for your kind consideration...warm regards
Great to get some me time to relax and rejuvenate the soul with nature and the wild ... 😊😊😊
Sure is nice to see the 401 is beginning to come together. Keep up The Good Work.
Thank you for watching !
@@rebuildrescue Remember the very first 401 video?
Step 1: Remove cowling for engine 2.
Step 2: Spend half an hour digging out bird's nests from the engine bay in an attempt to get to the spark plugs.
Step 3: Start praying...
That frackin hole was deep man!!! Nice trailin guys!! Great way to blow off some steam and make memories!!
Wow! You got a lot work done & got to have a fun vacation. That is all very important. Work together & Play together! Fun Fun Fun. You all deserve the break!
Those guitar tracks rock! Plane ain't bad either!
Man I can't wait to see you at Oshkosh I love eating Paint chips! I'll down at least 3 containers.
Always like to see 401 action!
Thanks. Awesome progress. I know I say it too often, but with my stroke, you give me motivation every Saturday.
It means a lot to us that you stop by the channel every week, your dedication to us through thick and thin keeps us motivated even when we feel defeated. And we are here for you as well, thank you for everything 👍🏻❤️
Wow.. I grew up there in Crumpler WV 2 miles from the Ashland resort! That was over 70 years ago.. Learned to fly in BLF . What a shock and real treat to see that you guys were in Ashland..
Thanks for the trip down memory land and Pinnicle creek!..
You guys really bustin on poor Sam - but heck - he deserves it!!! LOL Happy Anniversary brother - just went over 31 yrs. with my bride!! God Bless!!
Congratulations Brother !
Great and fun segment with the quads and Razors, fun times. The bonus is once again nice progress on the 401!
Great to see the 401 coming back to life
Slowly but surely!
I always look forward to new videos progressing the rebuild of the 401 Phoenix. Great fun!
Thank you for stopping by this morning, we hope you have a restful weekend !
Great job on that wing repair.
Those ATV trails look awesome!
Hello, I'm still here. I am still following you from France. I really like everything you do. You are very pleasant. Very brave and always smiling. A perfect and passionate team. THANKS
It's funny looking at the nose now so clean and looking brand frackin new!!! Not so long ago it looked like the swallows from Capistrano had been nesting in there!!! LOL
I actually did two touch-and-go's at your airport, Chester County, today! I wanted to stop and see the 401 but decided I could do without the hefty fees your FBO charges... Good work guys!
Hatfield McCoy trails are the best! Memories with my dad riding out there! Beautiful trails
cant wait to see the first fire up!!!!!!!!!!!
You're the World's best and most generous BOSS Jason. You have a good team and they have a great boss :)
Another awesome Rebuild Rescue Saturday!
Thank you for checking out the upload James, have a great weekend!
They are actually getting the nuts and bolts back together again. There is hope!
Great to see the Team have fun on the McCoy Hatfield Trails. That was exciting. Hope Sam got his BBQ on with the Wife ~ 401 is getting a nice overhaul. Great Rivetting to Greg and Joe Cool ~
dam that's is a cool area to ride. Too bad I don't think my back can handle the bump s. Glad you added into this video.😊
These episodes give me a “This old house” vibe and I love it!
Thanks Brother, we hope you enjoy the episode !!
Yeah, on this week's episode of This Old Airplane...
So great to see Sam in the videos wrenching away.
Lucky on that landing gear in the Cougar!
Lucky for the buyer that rejected the plane during purchase evaluation.
Hello from the UK. Great vlog this week, that wheel assembly looks amazing! West Virginia looks absolutely spectacular 👌. See you next week for more.
Wow, you have come such a long way with the 401,but it is so nice to see that you help each other when there is a problem. The flight simulator looks like a lot of fun and you can crash and not get hurt. I don't know if I would get off the ground. The trip looked amazing. Tell Nicole that I said hi, Glad to see that you brought so many people along.

Love the new paint on the landing gear one thing that bugged my ocd is you scratched primer on one of the rivets putting it in ! No more snow skying for you and the owner all flying from hear on in. God bless 😁
All work and no play makes Joe a dull boy! Nice work all the way around. The 401 is looking great! Really glad you all got to get out and have fun. It's important to take some down time. See you next Saturday!
A much needed vacation, we're ready to get back to work ! Thank you for stopping by the channel, we'll see you next week 👍🏻
The "Workcation" looks amazing! I think it was Joe that got a huge lap full of muddy water on that trail!
This project, all these painstaking steps, makes me appreciate the thousands and thousands of research, engineering, testing and design hours that go into these beautiful flying machines.
It’s coming a long nicely but that piece on the A frame expose on the landing gear I think that it should have been painted to match the the white of the landing 🛬 gear 😊
That looked like so much fun.
The landing strut would make an excellent skiing strut for the crew who ski.
Another great video. Can't wait to see it finished. Wish I lived closer to the hanger and could work on the Phoenix.
You guys are an essential part of this team, we absolutely would not be where we are today without the support you all show. So thank you!
What a show tonight. so much content so much fun be safe and crack on
Love these videos, and I'd love to hear some variety in the background music, too :) You know... Funk, Classical, Jazz....
It’s fantastic to see the 401 coming back to life. Your attention to detail is clearly paying off. I’m really happy for you that you’re seeing your dream come true.. keep up the good work and I just can’t wait to see it flying again. It’s going to be epic.
That flight simulator is awesome. The 401 continues to go forward, like eating an elephant, one bite at a time. Enjoyed seeing the 4 wheelers, I used to live right near the Hatfield-McCoy trails, great riding there.
Top tip. To save expensive fluid in the ultrasonic; use water in the ultrasonic and put your part in a sealed poly bag with the cleaning fluid.
I have been subscribed since the first 401 video and it never gets old.😃 Thanks man!
The 401 looks perfect I only build car's and try my best to make everything look and work brand new
You guys hit it out the park
You guys are doing an outstanding job, what y’all are doing is a huge undertaking and I’m so proud to be part of this project. Thank you so very much for the opportunity. 401 forever!!!
I think all the crew needed a time-out for sure y'all look like you had a good time
It was an awesome time, and much needed !
@@rebuildrescue y'all keep up the good work you have an awesome love watching
Nice to see that you guys having fun. Good team building.
Awesome to see the work that you did on that nose gear Jason! Great attention to detail. I'm especially impressed that every bolt that was torqued is marked! Such a great idea! Greg and Joe were doing such a nice job on Sam's Cougar, that'll last for a long time now! Especially nice to see you all enjoying some fun off road ! Building a closer bond of a great team! God bless you all.
I stumbled on this channel while recovering from an injury. I binge watched the whole series and I have to say I am impressed how dedicated everyone is to this project and what you plan to do with it once it is together and flying. It has renewed my faith that there are still good people in this world who want to help others. I will definitely be contributing to the go fund me.
Love the H&M trails!
Wow, I last flew N769GA in 1995 at DPA (DuPage Airport/Chicago)! It was operated by Cougar Aviation whose owner sadly died during a MU2 training flight at DPA in 1997. I'm glad to see you getting 9GA flying again!
Took my CFI check ride at DPA, 1991
So awesome to see the progress on the 401! What a difference since that first video. Keep it up!!! Can't wait to see her fly again!!!
It seems like you no longer say "few-saw-lidge", now if we could get you to say "torque" instead of "twirk"...
Torque is something you do to a bolt. Twirk is something you do with your rear end. 😂😂😂
Nice to see the wheel gears going back on the 401! Maybe once you all get the wheels re installed and functioning, y'all could tow the plane across the tarmac and see how many wierd stares y'all get LOL
I worked on Twin Cessnas for over 30 years. The first gear retraction system rigging I did was on a Cessna 421. I maintained a particular Cessna 310R for 18 years. I can tell you that when the gear is rigged right it works beautifully. But you MUST NOT take any short cuts in the rigging procedure. Another thing, during each Annual Inspection you will find the gear (at least one leg) will be out of rig. Tony Saxon of TAS Aviation says just normal flexing of the airplane in flight (turbulence) will throw the gear out of rig specification.
Very nice work going on there. I see you are not cutting any corners. Beautiful
On Sam's Gulfstream Cougar, the panels were know as "lightening strike" doublers. They were bonded to the upper skin with a fillet all around.
Thank you!
You over tensioned the mounting bolts. That type of torque wrench can only be used with your hand on the serrated hand grip.
Greg is a life saver !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice progress on the 401 can’t wait to see it flying
Good job on the nose gear. 🙌🏻
I love the rescue crew always does lunch together. That is awesome and those lunches have to be so fun with all the cool personalities on the team!
That looked like a great day. Good to see the guys enjoyed it. You’ve got to take time out to have a good life.
Really cool guys! Glad to see that some fun is had away from work as well!👍
Wonderful update on the project(s)! I forget that often times bearings aren't just spherical but have other shapes
A wow moment in the first seconds of the vid because it really looks like a plane again :o)
Its so great when i log on and you guys have posted another video. I clear out the schedule and have some me time watching it. Keep up the great work.
Hi Jason! Great job and coming along quickly on your 401. Just a FYI I noticed on torquing the nuts on the "A Frame" as you called it for the nose gear. You are holding the snap torque wrench correctly on the first nut but not the second nut in the video. You had your thumb by the pivot/break point on the wrench for the second I believe it was. That can and often does result in an under torque condition. The correct hand location for proper torque is almost like an open hand on the handle only on the wrench. Some even have a mark to show where your hand should not go past. A direct pull on the handle and no twisting input from your hand. I retired from 42.5 years in aerospace and customer quality after many years in assembly and test with large gas turbine fuel controls. We used many different types of torque wrenches including one like you were using. It's not hard to induce under torque. Just a thought but maybe revisit the torque, just for safety.
Thanks for the great video, and I had a great time on the trip!!
Awh man nothing at ALL like taking a day, getting done early and calling it a weekend on the quads out in the country. We have the Pine Barrens here in South Jersey.. it's not mountainous like WV the Hatfield and McCoys but it is a nice way to hideout all weekend off the grid! Nice
18:14. That style of torque wrench is only accurate if you have your hand in the center of the grip. To close to the socket and you over torque, to far off the end and you under torque. I’m sure torquing those bolts a little too much won’t hurt but it’s good to get in the habit of always using it correctly.
That’s a great idea for a break off-roading is the best 401 almost there going to be asum to fly a 90% reconditioned plane with lots of good times to share 🎉❤😅
Another Awesome video Jason... I always look forward to the next episode... So cool to see you all having some fun together riding the trails... Great bunch and I know that they appreciated that trip
That new engine look on the 235... Ohh mumma!
Know David Fletcher well, he gave me a line job when his family ran Fletcher Aviation at Hobby so I could take lessons. He really knows Grumman's, REALLY KNOWS can't recommend them enough.
What do you want to know, I haven't spoken to David in years but FletchAir has a good rep from what I see and read. David was always a little hard to deal with with at times but fair with me. Funny story, his mother Mayabell was a WWII WACS and that woman could fly anything, gave me my PPL check ride I was terrified 😰 😰.
I used to work in aircraft assembly for Beechcraft back in the early 80s and general aviation in the 70's right there in PA at the Beaver County Airport. All the stuff that you guys are doing take me back to some good satisfying work. I enjoy watching you do the work and thanks for the memories.
You know its absolutely awesome how your crew went from being so camera shy to being absolutely glowing folks. You can really see their true selves come out, especially when they're helping each other out or joking around. I think most of all guys like Sam and Joe really came out of their shells.
Really excited to see this airplane come back to life. Even I used to be skeptical at times, but seeings its journey has definitely proven to me this bird is going to go back in the sky sooner than we think.
“ I want the Austin” Hey Jason,Joe & Greg your a great team definitely work well together that’s why the 401 will be finished in 2024.
You all were about 45 minutes from where I live, sorry I missed ya, hope you had a great ride
That Cougar body work is primo guys - nice job and heck of a catch on the nose gear!!!
I really hope you finish the 401. I've invested so many hours watching your videos. Please don't let this end of like a Netflix show that's VERY interesting end after the 1st season. Love the Channel. Keep being awesome. Especially Joe!
Happy Birthday Sam!
Hahaha, holy crap guys. I grew up running these trails. Last toy I put on these trails was an 82 f150. My best friend and I rebuilt it. 300 in-line, 4-10 rear end. GAS HOG. 4 speed, it would go anywhere though. I'm glad you guys had a great time. I've lived all over the US due to work, but I always come home to WV.
That's so awesome, thank you for sharing! We had a great time, would definitely go again!
Great to see you enjoying West Virginia. We have a house there it is wonderful. By the way my wife is related to both the Hat fields and the farley families.
Keep on 401'ing
"Hey, you want a free air plane? It's yours if you can get it started!"
[2 years laytehr] Not going anywhere for awhile??? 🤣🤣🤣
Glad to see this rebuild proceeding. I unsubscribed from another channel because of a bait and switch rescue. This will be a sweet old bird essentially in brand new condition. Good job so far.
Thank you for the support, we won't let you down!
Once again, thank you SO much for this channel and the work you do! Over the past 2 years, this channel has helped get through some difficult times; mainly learning how to walk again after breaking my legs in a car crash. And then broke my left leg again in a scooter accident on black ice six months ago....not that he'd know ANYTHING about THAT!!! 🤣🤣🤣
I just today flew on the DC-3. Yesterday i flew it from Helsinki to Tampere to Vaasa. It was the same route Finnair flew 75 years ago. The plane was originally delivered to Pan Am and has then operated for U.S airforce, Finnair, Finnish airforce and airveteran. The plane is now over 80 years old. It's one of the last passenger DC-3s in the world. Today i flew from Vaasa back to Helsinki. We had a short stop in Jämi Fly In. It was so fun.
Wow, really??? I'm surprised you didn't say Buffalo Air! I wasn't aware there was anyone else other than them still operating passenger flights on a DC-3!
@@Rekuzan You just have to be a member of the dc association and you can book a flight.
@@FinlandGuy747 *snaps* Of COUUUURSE, that makes perfect sense. [Jelling!!! ^.^] I've actually heard of them while watching Ice Pilots NWT!
@@Rekuzan Almost all the flights are in Finland tho.
Keep up the excellent work Jason (& team). U guys rock. Cool athmosphere and companionship. Kudos for Jason`s idea. Life isn`t just work. There`s allways more than that.
Hey Jason, superb job on the front gear brother!! Looks clean!!!
Love each episode you guys rock. The Phoenix is coming along nicely, won't be long before its all together! All the best from Aust👍😉
We appreciate the love Brother, thank you for watching!
happy annivesary to Sam and hid lady...🙂
I wish I had a boss like you, Jason!
As an older fella, I really appreciate you making sure your team has some fun as a reward for all the hard work and dedication.
Great job! Love watching the Phoenix rise from the birds nests!
Your positivity means a lot Brother, and the vacation was well deserved !
Great progress with the 401 and very happy to see you guys having fun. 🙂
Always fun with these guys! Thank you for watching!
When working hard it's nice to take days off for light fun and a little dirt.
You guys are killin it! So fun to watch you guys have fun, great Team!
Looking good, guys! Interesting using Hoppe's #9 with the ultrasonic cleaner. Probably works as good as anything! Don't ask how I know that, LOL.
You can give my paint chips to someone else but thanks for the offer
