Nice flight views! Keep it up.
So long you guys. Wish I could have known you...
RIP: T&J. I loved the conversations we shared here on RUclips. Would’ve been great to have met you in person to share jazz music jam sessions and/or to flown along with and share stories and experiences. Hope we will all meet in the skies. Good speed to you too! Sure loved your videos and your great spirit! Cheers to Tango and Joliet!
I just discovered this channel on the day of that tragic event. Many years ago I bought a 1946 Cessna 140 as a naive 18 year old fresh-out-of-flight-school pilot. Had a bad incident on a snow covered runway in northern Canada. Never flew much after that even though I never lost the desire. Now in my 60's I'm getting interested in ultra-lights. But I still have a soft spot in my heart for the C140. I hope this channel stays up long enough for me to catch up all of T&J's past adventures.
@Albert E I love the Pietenpol. If I had a proper shop I could see myself building one. When I got my license in the late '70s it was the absolute worst time in history to try to be a commercial pilot. Low demand I think because of all the Vietnam vet pilots around and the overall state of the economy in those days.
Good stuff Tango and Juliet. You need to start sharing this stuff on FB more. Subscribe PEOPLE....
Dewey Davenport Thanks! We will definitely share it on FB more!
Wonderful footage and well edited. It started of looking like one of those great vintage FAA movies. I really enjoy your adventures together. Thanks again.
Reuben thanks a lot! Glad you enjoyed coming along for the ride :)
Man, you really squeaked in that landing while the sun was still "up"! Beautiful footage though and glad you put the plane back down when the door was trying to land before you!
Greg Rocklage yeah, it was a real life cautionary diversion! Juliet was a champ and held the door on like a pro :-)
Best C-140 video ever! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed the video! Have you been to Pismo before or fly?
Tango and Juliet
Thanks! Never been there.
I have around 50 hrs in a club owned 1947 C-140 at age 17. Later flew a C-188B “Ag Truck” spaying fields of Ohio and Indiana. I love tail draggers and antiques. Great to see younger people as you two doing the same and while producing great videos with great attitudes.
I was inspired to learn to fly by an old neighbor who had a 1968 Maule M-4 Strato-Rocket and a 2200’ grass runway.

I’m so glad your door malfunction didn’t end up in a tragedy. I once had a door hinge on a C-172 fall all the way off just before starting engine. Was very lucky!!! If it had came off in flight, could have resulted in complete loss of control and loss of life. The plane had just came out of annual. I did a rush job preflight inspection. Didn’t inspect all 4 hinge pins at all. The pilot side pins were brass and were shot. Was my fault. I’m not blaming the mechanic who did the annual. Pilot is responsible for the safe outcome of flight. I look at all door hardware VERY closely. I NEVER allow passengers to open or close any doors unless it be an emergency or if I instruct. Pilot is responsible.
If the top hinge of a C-140 were faulty and the door happened to pop open (at the aft latch) in flight, the door would go bye bye and any contents in cabin that were not secured would also probably go bye bye. Also, if the departed door struck or got hooked on the tail, well, then the airplane would most likely, go bye bye as well. I don’t know if you thought of it that way. Not trying to make you feel bad. Please do a thorough inspection of all Cessna door hinge pins before flight. I think they tend to get looked over. The pins on this 172 were badly worn and sheared off into like 4 little pieces of brass about .200” long. Was a very embarrassing moment. Lol!

But yeah! That great video should inspire anyone who’s ever thought of learning to fly or wanted to fly a taildragger.
@@lembriggs1075 Great advice and very glad you are enjoying the videos. We always check the hinge pins before flight after this experience!
That was super cool. Can you post a few more details about your Cessna?
just found your channel sub
Thank you! Hope you continue to enjoy more videos as we create them! 😊✌🏽
you need a little Charlie Parker..."Relaxing at Camarillo". instead of whatever that soporific crap music is. Everytime I hear that rim shot on the drum, I think the engine has sucked a valve ! music gets better at Pismo !
Tango was a trumpet player and band leader and that was probably his band playing that music.
