Welcome to ATP TV!!!! This channel is about whatever I see that’s amazing in the world. Anything from vehicle related stuff to health and wellness to the beauty we miss in our daily routine
I'm currently flying this aircraft based out of Kelowna. Using it for some multi IFR instruction. This particular design from the late 70's is, in my opinion, the best aircraft in it's weight category for training. It's also the safest, with Vmc below 2kts below dirty stall speed. Nice video!
Not to be rude at all I love you doing things about aviation. But the Soviets made a few an2 s with floats for the far east. They are a very important aircraft for the vast regions of the far east of Russia. The an2 was called the Russland because it was produced in Novosibiersk which is in that vast region. Thought I would try to tell it's history instead of being rude.
Have 50 hours in GA-7s. I'm fact, might have flown this one if it was based at ZBB (Boundary Bay) B.C. back in the early 90s. Not many Cougars in Canada. Stable platform, roomy, and easy to fly after building some time.
Sadly if the Canadian Government went with an off the shelf military aircraft all ready proven the Canadian tax payers wouldn’t have had to absorb the cost of developing an new variant of the S-92 which cost millions to develop with Sikorsky. With no other country standing in line to purchase the aircraft and absorb the costs of development. Canada has payed an absurd amount of money for 28 aircraft. Canadian born I left this country 20 years ago due to governments wasting tax dollars with their procurement processes. Air Canada customer service…………sucks!
It all comes down to the incompetence of Canadian politicians, they are just cheap and no nothing about the military, there a real disgrace when it comes to the military..
1M for The Soviet air-tractor? I notice that the wings and tail have been worked on. The paint look way newer than the rest of the airplane, I wish you could show us the cockpit, is probably IFR capable with top notch tech in it, There are a few models in Eastern Europe with floats from factory identified as Antonov AN 2 V. You also mention this is kind of an RV but still... $1M is a lot!!!
Recent subscriber; the Antonov AN-2 videos caught my eye and so did this RV-8. I built my own RV-8 and also painted it in a warbird paint scheme. First flight was a year ago; 90 hours so far. Steve Thorne documented the first flight on his channel, I also have many videos on my channel. I like your style; straight up interest and enthusiasm. Looking forward to watching more of your videos.
Born in '52, I spent a lot of time at the airports as my parents owned and both flew a C-140. There were always a couple of Navions around then. I loved the looks and its sliding canopy. Made it look like a civilian P-51.
A friend had one I was helping him on, and went to Romania to get training in them. Fantastic plane. Way overbuilt, and way underrated. We flew it at 40 mph, fully controllable too! Thirsty, but experimental means you can perform your own maintenance. I will just follow the Polish manuals. Most after 1960 were built in Melic, Poland.
I've got a 1948 model; by then they were being manufactured by Ryan but still using mil spec parts from North American. The Navion is the best flying, most comfortable 4 seater ever, with a great view in all directions from that canopy.
Hi The main reason for the airport being very clean is because rubbish and aircraft engines don't mix. FOD foreign object damage is where even small bits of rubbish can be drawn into the engine and cause expensive repairs and can also have fatal consequences.
