Would I like to see more of the Stearman's journey East - yes Would I like to see a summary of both your flights - yes Some glorious views as you flew west, and home, thanks for taking us along with you 🙂
Outstanding as usual. Summary of what you thought were video highlights of the trip would be exciting. I really enjoyed the family flights where Diane gave a geography/ history lesson as you passed overhead. You're the gold standard, when it comes to aerial photography.
Thank you again for your video post of your adventures. It is much appreciated. Yes do put together a compilation of your trip with the beautiful Stearman.
Fun deal. I have to wonder what all those cars were doing parked in the middle of nowhere at the start of the trip ? Did the train conductor see you ? That was fun.
Nice return flight ! That was a lot of unknown terratory [ for me } ! Well done ! Take care. PS: right now the Navion is down, I'm having to replace the accessory case to cure an oil pressure problem. I feel lucky to have a spare engine I can canabalize...Lol !
Thanks again! As soon as I wrap up my Private Pilot Cert, I'll be doing the same type of thing I my Colt. :^) Oh, and "yes" and "yes" on the other 2 summary videos!
Hi James, another super video...and yes...I'd love to see the rest of the Stearman's journey and a summary of the best bits. I do so love going along with you at low level over the desert landscapes I love and miss so much. Great low level shots of the train...and the plane-spotter cow! Cheers, Graham.
Never boring James; always entertaining and reminds me of the days I flew DC3's, by the seat of my pants. Glad you made it home safely. Greetings from Oz
Thanks again James for taking us on this great journey. I just can't get over seeing these amazing, vast landscapes with so many different and interesting geological and geographical features. It's been a real education! It would be good to see more of your friend's journey east plus a highlights / summary of the flights.
James, Loving your adventures. Also if you find yourself up near Hood River next spring, would love to try and put together a little side quest with you.
Another good one James! I'm on medical leave from flying the 767 for several months. Your videos are a great escape. I watch your video on one monitor, and follow along on Google Earth on the other. Fun for the homebound!
For those of you that own/fly an ercoupe, can it be used for IFR flight for the sake of flight training? Should a different aircraft such as a PA-28 be used instead?
Hello. You could use an Ercoupe, but it's rare to find one with suitable nav equipment, I think. My understanding (I'm not IFR rated) is that you would need something like a G5 and a Garmin 430 at a minimum to fly useful IFR? 430's are not common in Ercoupe's. You could put one in though. I assume VORs aren't used often any more?
Another consideration, when training, is useful load with an instructor on board. You're only going to get about 450lbs useful out of an Ercoupe... A PA-28 might be a more useful option.
@@JamesGood I didn’t even consider the weight limitations. That’s a great point!. I think the Pa28 and M20 would be better options for what I need. Thanks

OK, thanks for letting me know, glad you enjoyed.
That’s something a train engineer doesn’t see every day
Would love to hear from a train crew to see if they see this sort of thing often, or ever?!
That was awesome!!!
Thank you for making us dream..
Fair weather!

Thank you! :) I have another trip to Minnesota with Diane and Charles to edit down. Will try and get that started on soon.

Another excellent episode! Beautiful scenery and flying. Look forward to the next adventure. As always, fly safe!

How does an accessory case improve oil pressure? Is the oil pump built into it?
That is a great little airplane. Thanks for the ride along. Your trips never get old. I always enjoy your vids. Wish i had your great plane.
I really did get lucky when I found this one, I think. It's been an amazing addition to my life!

Nice to see you finally back home on this trip, James. :)

"Find that train!" LOVE IT!
Right on James, fun to see your trip, I love that part of the country! Good ole Great Basin.
Great series!
Trains planes and automobiles, Cool video, James, you look like one of those old timey barnstormers waving at people! Thank you for sharing.
That is one of my goals in life, to look like an old timey barnstormer!
Yes, I'd like to see a follow-up on Andrew. Does he have a channel too? I always look forward to seeing your videos. Keep them coming!
Thanks! He doesn't. He's on instagram though, as air.cooled.vagabond

Wow, I'm honoured, a 767 pilot watching my Ercoupe videos! :) Very glad you enjoy them, thank you for letting me know.
