Ok let me correct a misconception about the movie. The actors were in the rear cockpit of F/A 18 F Super Hornets. ... DoD policy is VERY VERY clear on one thing... if you aren't fully qualified in an aircraft you don't touch the controls. No actor flew a jet in that movie. They flew IN them. They were put through training for orientation purposes and because those sequences are very real. There is no or minimal CGI in the flying scenes. The actors also were trained in aerial cinematography because they did operate the cameras in the jet. But none of them manipulated the controls.
Well DANG! I hate that I misunderstood that!!! I saw so much coverage about the actors getting their PPLs, moving onto Extras for aerobatics training and then into the jets- but I must have gotten too excited with my understanding that they were the actual PICs in the flying maneuvers!!! Shucks! I wish I could edit my video!!
@@flyingsparksgarage Don't worry about it. You're not the only one. Like I said, all that stuff they did was for orientation and acclimation. I'm a pilot and been around planes since a wee thing and I am not at all certain I could handle those maneuvers...but I would sure give a toe or 2 to give it a try. 😁
Well said. To add to your comment, the training that the actors went through was due to them being in the aircraft during landing and take offs on a carrier which meant they were over water. They had to be trained in case of an ejections while flying over the water.
@@84yoda4x4 Very true. Military aviation is quite dangerous and carrier flying even more so. This very minute the Navy has shut down training flights for a safety pause because they had 3 crashes in I think 8 days losing 6 people. It's no joke and more reason why they don't let actors touch the stick not when even pilots with years of intense training behind them are going down.
I absolutely love the house, it has the a farm house, cabin, rustic vibe that everyone is trying to do in their own houses now . I would love to see more.
Good thing you forgot something and turned back just to discover the paper towel issue. I wonder if it would have just continued to blow out as you drove on. The computer wire issue is proof as to why it's best to travel with good friends on the road. So glad it worked out simple. AARON ROCKS!!!! With that heavy tire I think y'all will need to make some upgrades for future use. That tiny latch just won't work for that gianormous tire. But Betty is ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL ❤️ WOW OH WOW!!!! Loving this series of videos and getting to travel with y'all! Crazy Hot so stay cool and safe!!!
Indiana used to not sell beer or cars on Sunday. Now you can buy beer after noon. 😂 Even back before the law changed you can order a beer or drink at a restaurant you just couldn’t buy at a packaged liquor store or grocery 🤷🏼♂️
Sorry Aaron, That sounds really sketchy to me. How does a feller forget he stuffed a wad of towel paper in the carburetor and then not even seeing it when he's putting the air filter back on....gotta call this one a serious Fail.
LOL. Paper towels down the carb is how you clean some carbon off the top of your valves without removing the heads. lol. I myself have found it better to use Sea Foam for that. lol.
If your tow hitch has a square reciver, you can add a “sway away” attachment, often used on VW Vanagons, to mount your spare tire and then it conveniently swings out of the way when you need to get to your back hatch.
Run a ratchet strap from the top of the spare tire up to your rollbar. That ought to take the pressure off while bouncing long distance down the highway!
Aaron is a very competent tech/ mechanic. Sometimes sh*t happens. Aaron is a humble patient man. Emily and Aaron compliment each other, great couple. Looking forward to your adventures on this trip. I like older houses like yours, you can feel the warmth.
It is a good looking bronco. Love that you drive older collectable vehicles. Keeping them on the road and giving eye candy to the masses with something other than the cookie-cutter cars that the rest of the masses have the drive.
I would love to do the Power Tour but with the price of fuel I can't see it right now. Glad you guys have the opportunity to do it. Safe travels my friends!
Your home is cool! Those old gas stoves will outlast anything newer. The most important thing is that it is your home!😎👍 Didn't know there are vehicles that get worse mileage than my big block Suburban.....mine gets a even 10 mpg on the highway! Be safe in your travels, and thank you for all the extra effort loading videos each day!🙂🛻
No need to apologize for your home. It is yours. Too many house poor people wish they had the liquidity to do the things you both have. Years ago, a business associate commented after visiting my house, saying she thought my home would be bigger. Eleven rooms and four baths who needs more ? Enjoy your home. It fits you both. Stay safe.
What Can I say . Yall are brave souls .Taking that old Bronco II on such a long trip. I know yall are top notch mechanics and great problem solvers but still .There are a lot of road gremlins out there . I have a ragged out 1986 bull nose bronco that I am putting back together , and I trust my mechanic , but I would not trust it on a long trip . Yall be safe and wave when you come through Memphis .
Thank you for including the paper towel incident! Seriously, we know that you are very capable mechanics and it just shows that stuff happens…it is these types of little reminders we all need every once in a while to engrave the lessons so we never do it again…or hopefully not for a long time again lol
You're not the first person to leave SOMETHING in the wrong place and "button her up", and you won't be the last. Your trip is starting like most of mine always did in an older vehicle. Hope it gets better! Have a great time.
Love the breakfast, your house too. Poor Aron, was that a "quicker picker upper". You've had 3 mishaps on the first day. I wuddah turned around and said it wasn't meant to be. I was so scared when you were stopped on the hiway. Please, you have a good 4 WD and biggie tires , pull way off the road into the weeds. So many idiots playing with , phone, radio, eating. They are not watching for traffic that is slowing down rubber necking at you and slam into them causing serious accidents. Please pull WAY off next time, do not trust passing vehicles to see you. Love you guys and can't wait for the next vid. Be safe.
Wow ! Great meal great home ! And to live right next door to the home you grew up in ..Awesome !! First day was eventful , but thats all part of it right !?!... thanks for sharing 👍
2016 we did the power tour in our 73 K5 Blazer. No top. The second day we got stuck in Houston under a gas station awning for 3 hours. The rest of the week it was over 100. My two sons got burnt...twice. My daughter and I used sunscreen. Shade Shade Shade! We had just finished the LS swap, and the only reoccurring issue was it was pressurizing the gas tank, if we didn't stop to release it it would vapor lock. Leaving Kansas City the hydraulic clutch blew apart on the exit ramp. We limped it into a hotel for the night, and the next morning I found the clutch pieces on the ramp. WOW. rigged it up and made it back to Texas with no more issues. Home yalls gremlins are strait, now fun in the sun.....should have got the white top for this trip!
The fuse...don't need those but somebody might...the car community is absolutely awesome...here's where to learn America, we have to share this world, lets do it together...this is what I love about being a car guy...you guys are amazing...thank you!!!
I love your house Emily. Even if it was just a run down shack, I would love it, because of the garage! I am so jealous of your garage and parking space around it. Interesting concept in trying to save petrol. How many miles per roll of paper towel does the Bronco do? Aaron, might be a good idea to listen to Emily's suggestion to fit an expansion bottle to the cooling system. Could save the cost of a new engine. You are good at improvising on the go. Just bodge a partly filled drink bottle on the overflow pipe. Probably will help, and surely can't do any harm. Top tip: Don't fill it with paper towels!
Watched your videos while recovering from detached retina surgery. Emily you are such a positive person and have helped me get through day 3!!! My wife has a Bronco sport, big bend edition and we love it. Thanks for all your hard work editing. You are such an all around beautiful woman. Hubby is a cool guy too! So lucky you have such a great love for each other!
Your house is a home. I've seen plenty of houses that were show places but not homes. I live in a small house that was built to be a rental property that I renovated. It has some flaws that would have been very expensive to correct so I left them like they were. I call my home a bungled-low.
Don't sweat the paper towel, AAron. I know a guy that left shop rags under the carb. Heck! I had a ground squirl build a nest in the air filter box, then chew a hole in the filter. Sad to say but only one mini squirl didn't make it.
Don't beat yourself up over the paper towel Aaron, we all do things like that, besides, you had a lot on you getting everything ready for this trip. Whatever it is, you can definitely figure it out! 👍
You guys showed up in one of Derick's PT vids then you started showing up in my feed and now I can't stop watching. lol Might never make it down for HRPT, but I'll def be living vicariously through all you content creators. Thanks for making this old fart smile............a lot. Subbed, btw.
Sooooo very happy that it was just a fuse on the ECU. Had me really worried for you guys there for a moment. That excellent karma you always have, has clearly paid off!! I sincerely hope the rest of Hot Rod Power Week goes smoothly for you guys and that you guys as well as all of your friends have an amazing and safe time! Take care!
Also we all really appreciate you taking the time editing every evening after all of those long days so we can come along with you virtually on the Power Tour. Thank you so much, Emily!
I’m hooked on these daily updates. I live in Arkansas so I was watching for the road signs when you left Texas and entered Arkansas. Good Luck on the rest of the trip.
You make it fun no matter what. Aaron didn’t seem quite as thrilled 😄 as you with those rag particles coming out of exhaust. 110 miles per tank 9 mpg and my last trip with my ‘66 F100 i missed my goal of 1000 miles on a fill by 90 miles. Got caught in heavy headwinds plus running 75-80 mph on first 505 mi 19.5 mpg but slowing it down to 65 mpg and bit of tailwind was rewarded with 24.8 mpg! Can’t believe it’s been 7 yrs following you already..
We live in a 950 Sq ft house that's 45 years old and sitting on 8 acres and we love it. We have a 65 fastback mustang and a 53 f1 and a 79 lil red and several boats. Thanks for making great videos and taking us along. I hope you guys have a great trip and keep up the positive vibes.
Great video! You were talking about your house and it looks great. I have an older Victorian style house here in CT. My garage is detached and for years it is where I did all my mechanical work. The last several years it has gotten taken over with auto parts, tires, etc. and the work is getting done outdoors. You have no idea how fast I can change a starter on a 4 cylinder Toyota while it is snowing. For many years that was the only car. Got a couple more now to have back up vehicles. And the garage is getting cleaned out. I didn't have it in me to sell the boat to get another vehicle, now that I got them, a Tacoma and a Camry, I'm rebuilding the boat. Keep up the great work and have fun! Your videos are amazing!
Really enjoying the daily updates. One of my want too things in life is to go on power tour. Hopefully soon I'll have the chance. Keep up the goid work.
Nice footage of the first day of the PowerTour trip.... Figures that the Found On the Road Dead Bronco would encounter problems 250 miles out and would have melted wires but good that Aaron was able to fix the mess... Nice options on the Bronco with the stereo, A/C, monitors and the tiedown strap on the tailgate was an exceptionally nice touch.... Good job!!!!!
Lol, don't feel bad about leetting your baby eat a paper towel! I've actually done that too on my old Volvo 142 dual carb and it wasn't a problem after she passed it out! That also explained why I had a hard time starting her too! You live and learn, that's what its all about! 😁👍
Y'all's house is cool. I downsized some years back, but It took me a while to understand that a cool little house is far better than some large high-dollar house that 3/4s of it is never even used. So now I'm like, Why spend the type of money it takes to buy and maintain a house that really isn't doing anything for you besides draining your bank account? I can find much better things to spend my money on and be much happier seeing I never have to stress over paying to maintain it.. lol.
I was 18 just out of high school owning a 67 Chevy Malibu for a year and two of my friends and we were taking a month long trip out West from Milwaukee Wi. We had a car top carrier to pack a tent there.. I calculated so many miles per tank. In Minnesota the gas stations back than seem like there were like five miles off the main freeway. I ran out gas two miles off freeway because I didn't calculated the wind drag. Learning life lesson as a young man
HA! I had the same year Pontiac Ventura and repainted it nearly that same color. Color Blue was from a then current (1985) IROC Z. Cool road trip y'all are taking!
Love that stove!! We need a home tour. Can you remove the back seat and put the spare inside against the tailgate and the rest of you stuff behind the front seats? The roads are gonna beat that rear quarter to death. Hope you have a great trip
Y'all are awesome 😎 No apology needed for you guys awesome little house, I was always told it takes more than sticks and bricks to make a home. I'm loving the videos. Safe travels to you and all the power tour gang
It is a cute little house. Doesn't mean it doesn't need work though. (My place needs plenty of work too) Agreed with not wanting to open the tailgate with the extra weight on it. 100 miles per fill is going to suck big time. I hope you can get that transfer pump fitted one night. A coolant overflow tank will certainly help keeping the coolant in the motor. Wow that was a crazy drive. I'm glad the ECU isn't fried.
You guys are awesome, as I committed on VGG video, be safe out on tour and if anyone needs anything while in Alabama let a fella know. See y’all Wednesday, hopefully.
Enjoyed the video, but most of all, enjoyed seeing your kitchen at the beginning. I have the same exact stove! It's so old I didn't think there was another one in existence. Happy cooking.
Wow there's never a dull moment. Nice to have good friends there to help out along the way. Stay safe have fun. Hope to have my barracuda out for that one of these years.
Really cool. So you both forgot something somewhere😜. Great fun to watch and lovely as always. That recording of Roxy was amazing, I'll forever love how she sounds.
Love the stove. Can't beat the location near family either. Can always renovate at some point. As for the shop towel you can't make this stuff up. Just shook my head. Glad you guys left some extra travel time to shake out the bugs in Betty
Emily. I live in a one bedroom cabin one the back side of a property with a pond with ducks, turtles, hawks, owls, squirrels and rabbits. Have my Folgers on the porch every morning. (notice the folgers plug Aaron) Nice an quiet. Emily, I "feel your pain". 🤣🤣👍
If you modified the spare tire mount by moving the tire to the passenger side as far as possible. You shorten the leverage arm and reduce the force applied when the mount is swung open.
Thank you for taking us along! I was hoping to do the tour as it will be coming by my house in Georgia however the C10 was not ready! I am looking forward to y’all’s videos and when you are coming through GA on just outside of Senoia (Walking Dead Filming Site) we will be cheering everyone on and watching the rolling car show, see you then! Safe travels and try to stay cool!
Wow! What a first day! Looking forward to seeing the rest of your trip. Thanks for the daily episodes.. Nice to see the green countryside as well. Looks like you had a some rain...nice...
It's all about the journey. Enough experiences on the first day. The difference between Betty Boop the Bronco and the C6 couldn't be greater in the car area.
Ok let me correct a misconception about the movie. The actors were in the rear cockpit of F/A 18 F Super Hornets.

Indiana used to not sell beer or cars on Sunday. Now you can buy beer after noon. 😂
Even back before the law changed you can order a beer or drink at a restaurant you just couldn’t buy at a packaged liquor store or grocery 🤷🏼♂️
That paper towel went thru the carb thru the cylinders and muffler and then out. Amazing.
Sorry Aaron, That sounds really sketchy to me. How does a feller forget he stuffed a wad of towel paper in the carburetor and then not even seeing it when he's putting the air filter back on....gotta call this one a serious Fail.
LOL. Paper towels down the carb is how you clean some carbon off the top of your valves without removing the heads. lol. I myself have found it better to use Sea Foam for that. lol.
Trust me a big house is just a wast of money now a big shop is not !! Lol thank you for your videos
If your tow hitch has a square reciver, you can add a “sway away” attachment, often used on VW Vanagons, to mount your spare tire and then it conveniently swings out of the way when you need to get to your back hatch.
yeah the tires when mounted on rims and filled with air are quite heavy, maybe 100 pounds if not more depending on the size
That would be way better than the original sway arm on it, but they seem to like keeping things original. But I agree with your suggestion.👍
If the tire would fit , take out the back seat , tire on floor , pile stuff on it .
@@larryc8607 won’t fit with rear seat installed.
@@64jazdude take the seat out .
Run a ratchet strap from the top of the spare tire up to your rollbar. That ought to take the pressure off while bouncing long distance down the highway!

Nice options on the Bronco with the stereo, A/C, monitors and the tiedown strap on the tailgate was an exceptionally nice touch.... Good job!!!!!
Lol, don't feel bad about leetting your baby eat a paper towel! I've actually done that too on my old Volvo 142 dual carb and it wasn't a problem after she passed it out! That also explained why I had a hard time starting her too! You live and learn, that's what its all about! 😁👍
Y'all's house is cool. I downsized some years back, but It took me a while to understand that a cool little house is far better than some large high-dollar house that 3/4s of it is never even used. So now I'm like, Why spend the type of money it takes to buy and maintain a house that really isn't doing anything for you besides draining your bank account? I can find much better things to spend my money on and be much happier seeing I never have to stress over paying to maintain it.. lol.
I was 18 just out of high school owning a 67 Chevy Malibu for a year and two of my friends and we were taking a month long trip out West from Milwaukee Wi. We had a car top carrier to pack a tent there.. I calculated so many miles per tank. In Minnesota the gas stations back than seem like there were like five miles off the main freeway. I ran out gas two miles off freeway because I didn't calculated the wind drag. Learning life lesson as a young man
Very cool looking home!
I was honestly thinking or hoping it was clickbait title but the video didn't disappoint unfortunately, safe travels Aaron and Em.
HA! I had the same year Pontiac Ventura and repainted it nearly that same color. Color Blue was from a then current (1985) IROC Z. Cool road trip y'all are taking!
Thanks for the video. So funny about the paper towel, glad you figured it out!
It takes knowledge and skill to own and drive cool old cars. You have both.
Power tour has been ony bucket list since it first started. I love all these videos so much. Thank you for doing what you do.
Love that stove!! We need a home tour. Can you remove the back seat and put the spare inside against the tailgate and the rest of you stuff behind the front seats? The roads are gonna beat that rear quarter to death. Hope you have a great trip
Love that Holley Sniper! Have one on my Factory Five Cobra. Good job Arron, need them repair skills. Great Video.
Very cool, my go-to is single malt scotch, neat ...
Y'all are awesome 😎 No apology needed for you guys awesome little house, I was always told it takes more than sticks and bricks to make a home. I'm loving the videos. Safe travels to you and all the power tour gang
Pretty amazing that waited til you got home !!!
One thing for sure Emily and Aaron, when you build them you can fix them. Keep calm and carry on!!
It is a cute little house. Doesn't mean it doesn't need work though. (My place needs plenty of work too)
Agreed with not wanting to open the tailgate with the extra weight on it.
100 miles per fill is going to suck big time. I hope you can get that transfer pump fitted one night.
A coolant overflow tank will certainly help keeping the coolant in the motor.
Wow that was a crazy drive. I'm glad the ECU isn't fried.
You guys are awesome, as I committed on VGG video, be safe out on tour and if anyone needs anything while in Alabama let a fella know. See y’all Wednesday, hopefully.
We appreciate your sacrifice for our viewing. Glad it was a minor problem. Keep up the great work.
People spending thousands on trying to get the look your house/cabin has, it's beautiful, my wife would die for that double oven...
Enjoyed the video, but most of all, enjoyed seeing your kitchen at the beginning. I have the same exact stove! It's so old I didn't think there was another one in existence. Happy cooking.
Wow there's never a dull moment. Nice to have good friends there to help out along the way. Stay safe have fun. Hope to have my barracuda out for that one of these years.
You and your family are so sweet! Always smiling while watching.☺️ Good luck on the tour. 🇺🇸
Really cool.
So you both forgot something somewhere😜.
Great fun to watch and lovely as always.
That recording of Roxy was amazing, I'll forever love how she sounds.
I love the positivity you guys put out. Be safe hoping rest of drive goes much better.
Hey guys just an idea put a ratchet strap on the spare to the roll bar or the backseat frame so it don't rip the corner out.
I just drove from ND to Austin and back. 1400 miles one way. Less than two days. I'm sure you guys can manage 400 miles!
Love the stove. Can't beat the location near family either. Can always renovate at some point.
As for the shop towel you can't make this stuff up. Just shook my head. Glad you guys left some
extra travel time to shake out the bugs in Betty
I'm sure I'm not the only one who had a skipping heartbeat when your EFI system shut off. Thank goodness it was just the fuse. Safe travels.
Dang I'm a little green 😆 you all are going to have a blast👌✌🙏be safe oit there
Love the positive attitude on your videos. Even when there are problems it's always there.
Emily. I live in a one bedroom cabin one the back side of a property with a pond with ducks, turtles, hawks, owls, squirrels and rabbits. Have my Folgers on the porch every morning. (notice the folgers plug Aaron) Nice an quiet. Emily, I "feel your pain". 🤣🤣👍
If you modified the spare tire mount by moving the tire to the passenger side as far as possible. You shorten the leverage arm and reduce the force applied when the mount is swung open.
You'all are out doing Derek. Improvise, diagnose, overcome. I love it!
Thank you for taking us along! I was hoping to do the tour as it will be coming by my house in Georgia however the C10 was not ready! I am looking forward to y’all’s videos and when you are coming through GA on just outside of Senoia (Walking Dead Filming Site) we will be cheering everyone on and watching the rolling car show, see you then!
Safe travels and try to stay cool!
Wow! What a first day! Looking forward to seeing the rest of your trip. Thanks for the daily episodes..
Nice to see the green countryside as well. Looks like you had a some rain...nice...
It's all about the journey. Enough experiences on the first day.
The difference between Betty Boop the Bronco and the C6 couldn't be greater in the car area.
Love the daily uploads.The spare parts are coming in handy already.
