At 62 in 6, months i will become a license a&p. I can't believe I'm doing it. A life long dream of mine! Your A/C videos give more inspiration.

Dont walk away from that plane, run!

This is closer to what one would expect to see washed ashore somewhere along the coast of a nation that specialized in breaking down junked ships. My suggestion, the owners should drain the tanks, drain the oil, and sink it somewhere deep where the barnacles can grow, the coral can form and the fish can live happily ever after. It belongs deep because it will never go high again.

WOW!!!!! Jimmy passed on an old aeroplane! Mark that on the calendar! Glad to see you have some sanity left. Either that or the ball & chain is forcing you to evaluate the finances. Love the channel.

As someone who lived inland all his life, the subject of salt air corrosion never entered my vocabulary. But, after living on the coast for 7 years I was well versed in it's corrosive properties by the time I moved away!

I think I would pass on that one. The owner needs to pay somebody to haul it away lol.

There's a local paintball field, which has an old busted up Huey & maybe a salvaged plane, that are in the parking area for ambiance

I looked it up and the last flight was to WAUCHULA, FL in 2018 it's hard to believe a plane can look that bad after 5 years.

The Mountain Dew has altered Jimmy’s thinking 🤣😆

Dont walk-RUN from that plane, Jimmy !!!!

it makes the elvis plane look like a sound investment 🤣

I like how your knowledge has increased since the first 310 video!

Good morning Jimmy!!!!! Best way to start the day! Jimmy’s World! Yeah!❤😂🎉

Jimmy, not even Jason from Rebuild rescue would touch that one!!😂😂

I guess there is a reason it was abandoned, likely corrosion was at the top of the list. I recall 1980 spring time Dad asked me if I wanted to go with him to the USA to shop for a pressurized plane for the arctic charter operation. A salesman flew us down from Edmonton to Olathe KS. in a Cessna 402, we bought a 1971 Cessna 414 in very nice condition, flew it back to Canada at FL 29, it was a comfortable aircraft...good memories. The props had outstanding AD's could have chucked a blade..we were lucky, Dad took the Cessna 414 maintenance course at Cessna in Wichita, think it was a 4 week course. Thx Jimmy for video

Awesome as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along

I have not even seen the video - but yes the deal was too good to be true 🤣

I was 33 in 1998. I’m almost 58 now. I’ve been in love with aviation since I was 3 or 4. 😁

That's just soul crushing for me as the 414 has always been my dream plane. I could easily get by with a 150 but have always wanted a 414. In the end it really doesn't matter since I have had a stroke and lost the ability to speak.

You guys are doing a wonderful job on the New 401,I watch every time you posted new version .. Hope too see y'all in #THE BAHAMAS!!

Engines have core value, which may be surprising because of the Conti frem exchange policy.

A cry in the wild was the hatchet movie from 1990. Great movie.

Keep the great content coming we love you in the uk

It’s amazing to me that you can find so much flying

This will be the ultimate Will It start🤣🤣🤣

I did read that story! Great read. I read to my son while he was going to sleep. Fun story.

Hey there Jimmy-Boy ! - Have you ever thought of snatching up as many of those free Toasted "Paperweight" Airplanes as possible & doing this : 1. Renting a big Shed/Building. 2. Hauling & Storing the Airplanes there. 3. Get you a bunch of cheap Laptops that will run Microsoft Flight Simulator. 4. Mount the Laptops/Joysticks in a way so anyone sitting in the pilot's seat can operate the Flight Simulators. 5. Get a whole bunch of cheap tools, put them in those Dollar Tree toolboxes & set them right next to each Airplane. 6. Make you up some cheap 'n easy Workbenches & set one next to each Airplane. 7. Buy/Trade/Swap for all the many Parts etc needed for "Restoring" the planes (at least for "Looks" & not Airworthiness). 8. Make you up a big fancy Sign that says something like : "-Jolly Jimmy's World- Airplane Museum/Flight Simulator/Restoration Workshops Fun-Park" or say - "Jimmy's World Aircraft Exploratorium"etc. 9. You could recruit a bunch of your "Aircraft Buddies" to pitch-in, help out & assist. 10. You could then sell tickets for a "Day O' Fun" (weekends) where Families-Dads-Moms-Kids can go & have a fun, entertaining & educational day exploring the Airplanes, practicing at the MS Flight Simulators & learning how to tinker around with installing parts etc on these old Airplanes. 11. You'd be a worldwide Hit & people from all over will swarm over to meet/greet/support you & your great contribution to promoting Private Aviation. 11. Maybe you have already done it. If not, then - Why Not ? 12. Wadda-Ya Think, Pod-Nah ? 🤠

You're a wild man sir the true definition of a pilot

Need to up your Upside game man. I’m at $521 for this year so far haha. Love the video, keep ‘em comin!

Jimmy the bulges you were feeling on the side of the fuselage by the baggage compartment doors are the ice protection plates. They are there to protect the fuselage from ice that is slung off the propellers when you activate the prop deice. The Alcohol tank in the right rear nacelle is for the windshield deice. 414's had the option of a heated windshield ($30,000) or alcohol Deice. There should be a spray bar on the bottom of the windshield.

Jimmy, I live 45 minutes away from that restore shop in Huron Park, Ontario. My nephew just received his first stripes. He's a good kid. You're a good dude, I'm busy with my elderly parents, right now. If ya ever need a hand, just saying is all. #fan

This is my favourite RU-vid channel - I love watching your video's

Any time I've been in a GA plane you can poop in, the rule is if you use the lav, you're cleaning it or you're paying the line guy for lav service.

I Love that book! HATCHET!!! i think i read that and book report in 4th grade. Good video my man! Plane is toast but parts can be salvaged.

Jimmy, I hope that you are having fun with all of these stressful airplanes. Lol

While its obvious that is not a plane worth saving, but maybe parting out, very interesting to see. Thanks for sharing.

That is incredible that you got to sit in one. The SR 71 is bad ass. Congrats.

how about the 401 from rebuild rescue....maybe the interior fits?

Those propellers are called q tip propellers. They help with noise. Not bent from accident.

So what I gather is, it would cost as much as a running airplane, flying airplane, free functional it would cost about the same to get this one just where it’s operational

Motors are good for airboat only.

I spent something like 6 hours up and another 6 back a month and a half later in the co pilot seat of one of them back in about 1974 going to and from a job on an oil rig in the dead centre of the harshest part of the desert in far western Queensland. It got (weirdly and for the first time in recorded history) flooded out and he couldn't land on our temporary dirt strip for a couple of weeks, when he did he had to pick up a bunch of us and then we had to search for a contractor who'd driven out in a Toyota Land Cruiser and not been heard of since. The takeoff involved swerving around crevasses that opened up everywhere then jumping it over a bigger one right across the strip then back on ground till speed built enough to properly fly. We found the missing guys car, it was about 200 miles south after ploughing through mud for many miles till it just couldn't go further. Next we had to check he wasn't in the cabin, the back or anywhere around it by doing crazily low banked passes and literally looking in as we looped past, he definitely wasn't in there. Next the mad pilot looked for, then flew through the densest looking storm cells, just for a bit of excitement! We later found out the driver had slogged his way from there ON FOOT F*** knows how many miles to the nearest homestead. How the hell he managed that out there with that being at least 60 miles away and through deep mud and about knee deep water all the way with not even a raised piece of ground ANYWHERE in that dead flat desert (normally) I'll never understand. One incredibly tough guy! Cool plane back then though. This poor old one's looking just a little sad.

As Monty Python's knight's said: Run Away...Run Away!

Hatchet is the first book I can remember reading and enjoying. Lol

The engines would still be good for airboats , Those things would have you screaming through the glades.

I really like the look of the center clock in the Mercedes.

When I was a kid (in the 70’s) my parents’ best friends had a 421 - so many great memories flying places in that fast and elegant aircraft. So sad to see one trashed like this one.

Nice stuff....looks right down your alley 😮

Jimmy My Name is aldo Jimmy, I have over 22,500 hours in a Cessna 182 RG, I really enjoy your post. Keep up the great work you do.

Jimmy, my dream is to own either 414 short nose or the 421! Im saving but my being career military its going to be years if ever which is why say "dream" man the airframe and interior looks nice and same here I want it for the family and traveling the world.

I'll give you a dollar for the props your sarcasm is hilarious

What puzzles me is, when you find a plane is not worth fixing because of an expensive AD, why then let it sit and weather for six more years? At least pickle the engines.

Dude! You can't do a 400 series Cessna! I think Jason from Rebuild Rescue has a lock on those!!! 🤣

Rebuild Rescue has a 401a with a couple spare Turbo continental engines and a lot of parts, could always go and swindle a new power plant for the plane lol

Hey Jim, when you do videos like these it would be great if you start by talking about the plane, when they started it, what it's specs are, what it can do stuff like that

Yes, I'm glad you decided not to buy it, Jimmy. Yes, that's the best decision you could do with that Sessna.

421C golden Eagle ? First plane I learnt to spanner on

Thank you for the video.

Would make a good garden ornament or plaything for the kids.

For a parts doner I would buy it, esp with the avionics if they dont mty it out first b4 you get back to it also transport might outdo the profit available - Good luck Jimmy

My kids read that book last year!

Jimmy, if that is an older GTN 750 (not an Xi) then it's only worth around $3000. The GTN 750Xi is $15K.

You can stand on the Aerostars horizontal stab😊

Jims flying circus? Youre gonna collect them all!

Smart move Jimmy ‼️

Hatchet! Gary Paulsen. Haven’t thought about that in years. My fourth grade teacher gave me that book, I couldn’t put it down.

Young Man , you have a fascinating RU-vid channel. I don't know what you do for a living, you obviously have done very well. From Clearwater Beach Florida Sand keys. Mr. Hahn

Hi Jimmy, expiration dates? I was alive in 1948, so does that make me old yet? LOL I might be old but young enough to watch every mad cap video of yours mate - LOL - KEEP THEM COMING.. thanks - IAN - UK.

Still not as bad as the 401 at rebuild. A simple little project, everything will just buff out. But you are right, they were working the wing AD and decided that the cost was too great. So what would be a good use for this. Well say you get it at the 17K then you turn it into a SUV, mount it on a truck chassis. Take the wings off at the mount points. Sell the engines as cores, that's a bunch of your money back. Part it out for the aviation stuff and as I said make it into a SUV.

Good call.

The wing spar AD pretty much killed the 400 series Cessnas. I’d rather have a turbo Centurion anyway. Not a P model though. Maintenance is way too pricey on the pressurized model. Or how about a C337 ? Those are cool airplanes. Not super fast, but reliable.

I actually remember Hatchet from middle school (or whenever it was). Maybe that's why I've always owned a good axe in my adult life.

Make America Great Again .I used to work as Security at the Clearwater USCG and At the Clearwater international Airport back in the mid 80's .that looks like our old yard 😊

Jimmy ,could you make cut out planes ,like rhe Balsa wood ones that fit together and fly ,from some of the bigger parts of the Elvis Plane ,even if they were only a static model ?

Add on the $80,000 A/D for the mainspar, and the Elvis deal could look like the deal of the century in comparison.

You need to open up a aviation scrap / repurpose lot. 😊

perfect for rebuild rescue!!

Landed over 5 years ago. FAA records say it was caught up in the Bermuda Triangle and came back dismantled with no passengers or Pilot

Don't walk away from this gem. *RUN, RUN, RUN* away from it.

Walk dear Jimmy, walk!

I read the book Hatchet as a child, I was skipping through when I landed on that part in the video, then I watched the video through lol

Cool! Great upload.

Jimmy had to bring out the big gun for that little bird.

If you win it you should make an aviation playground/park. Ever heard of digger land, an amusement park of construction equipment. People could bring their kids to play pilot…

Junk air plane great video thanks Jimmy and jesse

Oh wait, I think that may have been Liberace' plane.

Use it as a learning tool for future aircraft mechanics and Air frame too. They can practice drilling out fasteners and filling holes

Florida. Gods waiting room. For aircraft too!

just curious after selling everything you can off the plane what is the metal worth in scrap value?

You getting the shaft for sure on this plane.

Never fails to amaze me how planes like this can be just left to turn to crap.

that would be a cool competition of projects with the Rebuild Rescue channel, who else would want to see that?

Run, don’t walk away from this one.

Scrap value only. Maybe get money for props, u/c , core of engines ( maybe ) it will have spar corrosion

if those engines weren't so expensive it would be cool to put one in a car or motorcycle like the old days. build a tank racer or something like that.

I think your finally smarting up after buying that Elvis jet

Hay ! The ADF is good for listening to music.

I used to listen to the ADF on long flights back in the day. I have never flown modern avionics. Moving map? Touch screen? Satellite radio? What is all this? I was in my 40s back when that first aid kit expired. Never fear though, you pooper is artificial vanilla flavor safe.

I see your second RV project lol. Oh, and "Will it run"?😅
