    Wonderful for Eva to be meeting her Lithuanian grandparents -- again?
    The windsock directs, and it must be nice to be able to take off/land in *_any direction._*

    3:58 This one is PZL-101, but PZL-101 is the further evolution of the Yak-12, which looks exactly the same

      @kestutisi 29 дней назад

      That flock has been in that place for ages. They are not used anymore. That place is a parachooting club, they use one AN-2 and some newer model for skyjumping. You can search on Google Kaunas parachooting club or Pociunai 🙂

    If you are able to do more about your travels, I appreciate map/chart views fo understand geography. Don’t know about national rules/laws, but be careful it is not USA!
    Thx for bringing us along. 😊😊😊

    What a memorable experience. The one glider hanging right by the door of the big hanger (LY-BHL) is the same type as what I learned to fly in back in the 70's, a Scheibe Bergfalke. Our soaring club had one here in Canada. I will email a picture of it to you.

    Hello Jonas, Silvjia and Ava from Sydney Australia.
    The U.S Ohio corn farmers build those soft plastic hanger tunnels for machine and fertilizer storage.
    However "they" build a 3' or 4' concrete block perimeter wall and the frame gets anchored to it.

      @theresacaron4238 29 дней назад +3

      You don't have to worry about Patey, he's now into building an airpark for the rich & famous. The average aviator is now a thing of the past for him, he's evolved into a military contractor and his millions are now top priority. Airplane projects to entertain middle class aviators are a thing of the past.

    • @fidenemini111
      @fidenemini111 21 день назад

      Coincidently the yellow and blue plain they flew is naimed Volungė, which means Oriole in Lithuanian, which in Polish is Wilga.

    Awesome airplane. I have been watching this channel for many years, I still wonder about the right seat thing. Then I see your beautiful daughter give a high five with her left hand I laughed. My daughter is a south paw (left handed person) so are my two granddaughters and grandson. I have told my grand kids I will pay for all flying lessons here in Texas. I do not expect nor will I accept a right seat pilot unless I am dead in the left seat LMAO. Eva, keep them in line if you can. God Bless your family in all things. Much love from Texas.

    Cool to see this airport again! I once brought a Yak-52 there for a engine overhaul (to Thermikas). We even stayed at their rooms on the airfield. Really good memories. I talked to a pilot on the field and asked if it would be possible to fly a Wilga. His answer was: Why do you want to fly tractor? Unfortunately there was no one there to give me a ride. Other fun fact: They train around 14 year olds to fly glider in a very small single seat glider comparable to the SG-38 (just modern materials). You can even see it on 4:35sec on the left side (look next to the 01 of the glider tail). Really cool, they just tow them behind a truck and the youngsters can learn to fly while beeing towed over the field by a car.

  • @ryc3rz
    @ryc3rz 26 дней назад +3

    3:58 - it's a PZL 101 Gawron (eng: Rook). It is a Polish modification of a Soviet YAK-12. PZL-104 WILGA was basically designed to be PZL-101's successor.

      Technically neither. The correct term is PRT - Power Recovery Turbine. The turbine is directly connected to the engine shaft. It doesn't increase manifold pressure.

    • @429thunderjet2
      @429thunderjet2 29 дней назад

      Understand that it is mechanically driven off the engine, probably a centrifugal supercharger. Not a turbo charger. But doesn't it have too increase manifold pressure? Otherwise what's the point?
