Airplane Hangar MYSTERY! What Happened?? 37 YEARS Abandoned Airplane on Camera 

Hey loving the videos! I hear you keep mentioning that you haven’t started avionics yet. I’m an A&P I have been doing avionics for over 10 years. What’s your plan for avionics? I have wiring/circuit breakers/switches/instruments almost anything you need. Would love to work on the Avionics and get this thing flying to Sun N Fun!

Been bringing my 6 year old flying now that I have my PPL, and because of your videos, he LOVES to yell "can I get a clear prop?". Tonight when we put him to bed, he wanted his ceiling fan on. He yelled "can I get a clear prop" as I hit the switch ahhaha.

I found your channel a couple weeks ago, and now I can't wait for the next video to drop. Thanks Jimmy!!

Love your content, and your sense of humor. Even my wife, who has no interest whatsoever in aviation, enjoys watching. Well done, and good luck in all of your endeavors!

I just love what you're doing, more the humor you add to your challenges, completing the 310. I can't wait to April to see it finished. Thank you 😎

Loving the videos, Jimmy. You are stirring so many memories for me. From 1977 to 1980, I attended college (Southeastern University) in Lakeland. I worked at Roberts Aviation (Texaco FBO) at the Lakeland airport. Long before the terminal and tower amenities of today. I worked the line, fueled planes, and washed and waxed a lot of them. Publix hangared a Duke and a King Air with us. You mention places in Florida and other airfields that people would fly to Lakeland from. You stir great memories. I loved when things were slow going to the hangar and watching the techs do the repairs and annuals. And of course, we were the host FBO for the annual Sun and Fun. I got fuel some beautiful 'birds.' Like one of Hitler's Tri-motors, the Penthouse Pink Falcon, and so much more. Then there was fueling Rod Stewart's 727 (which was Elvis' before him), Earth Wind and Fires bird, and so many other rocker bands who flew into Lakeland. Sadly I was the last guy to fuel Lynyrd Skynyrd's Convair CV-240. That is a story in itself. Just know that we were serious about fuel records and that thoroughness paid off when the FAA showed up on our doorsteps. Sorry for such a long message. Just love aviation, at least that hangar side of it, and love what you are doing! Keep it up!

great job Jimmy and crew! Love your prop wash!

Hey Jimmy! loving the content. Do you have your avionics and such picked out yet?

Jimmy! I love your videos! Keep on doing what you do!!! #savethe310 I love aviation!!!! Going to do my solo soon!

Thank you Neil for your dedication & fortitude. Keep the videos coming.

Love the Skits… Makes things so much easier to watch. Great Work and you guys are rocking it!❤️

As a person who worked in a mechanics shop for a while, I completely get where you are coming from with the socket. They do weird things. There was one time I dropped a socket in a car and couldn't find it. 5000 miles and several months later the car came back in and I found my socket on the engine cradle frame. I reached my hand up and over to find a bolt and there it was still there. So many questions.

Hey Jimmy! awesome job so far with the 310, can't wait to see that beauty back in the air! greetings from brazil!

Thank you Neil! - you both show pure passion for the "old" original aviation! 👍

Love your videos and humour Jimmy also the way you cut in other clips, class! Also a love from England! :)

Thanks for the entertainment..needed this to get me thru the boredom of covid quarantine. ✈️🙌🏻

Hey Jimmy. You guys are really giving me the motivation to get my project going. My dad and I recently acquired 2 Beech 18's out in Seattle and we're looking forward to get started on restoring them. So thanks for sharing your journey with us. It truly is inspiring to see how everything is coming together with the 310. Cheers!

I know nothing about your 310 airplane but I love the way you bring back the life of that plane and I just love it Jimmy. Keep up.

Hey Jimmy! Love your channel. best on you tube. Keep em coming. Live in Jacksonville just north of you.👍

Thank you Neil! and Jimmys Hey loving the videos!

Hey Mike! Love seeing the 310 come together and I saw your cameo on Rebuild Rescue!! Keep it going brother!

I’m here after the first 15 minutes, but I am currently going through school to get my A&P and watching these videos are some of the best in showing what actually happens when working on airplanes, and I love it!

Absolutely love your videos. Finally after years of interest finally taking the plunge and starting my ppl lessons! Love the segway to Rebuild Rescue also!

I always enjoy your posts!

Great job on your videos, Very entertaining and I’ve learned a lot. I also loved seeing your appearance and rebuild rescue!

Thank you to everyone that makes these videos possible!!!

My heartfelt thanks to ALL who have and are helping to get the beloved 310 back to life. My favorite airplane since 1975!!! Thank you everyone ☺️

My favourite show on RU-vid🤙🏽Always looking forward for the next video 👍keep on coming Jimmy.

👍 absolutely love your content, will buy merch when I get my paycheck. Love the innuendos.

Hey jimmy! U said you stick around for 15 mins right?

Thank you, Neil, for your sacrifice to the cause.

You are one HILARIOUS guy, It is pure joy to watch your channel. Keep up the good work. PS.. Are you on Rumble? Please consider, it would be nice to see you thar.

Jimmy I love your videos! Very entertaining!

Hey Jimmy I am new to your channel. You got me hooked when you and your son went with the RV to buy three planes. Being a diesel tractor mechanic what you do got my attention. I must say that you do things that I refer to as Bush mechanics. Sometimes it scares me to see your approach to some repairs, but I keep on watching to how and if it works. Dude I would love to do what you do. Keep it up. Pieter All the way from South Africa.

Hey Jimmy, how do you do the Log entries for all of the updates / fixes you are doing?

Informative and hilarious as always! You guys Rock!!!

Love these videos Jimmy!

Must have been the magic 10mm socket that always disappears from every toolbox

Hey jimmy I hope you are having a great day! Love the content BTW I love anything to do with flying even though I’ve never been off the ground but hopefully one of these days I’ll get to fly! I’ve got a lot of medical issues so I’ll never get to have a pilots license but that don’t mean you can’t still love aviation!!

Loving the videos and your sterling sense of humor and patience. Can’t wait to see the 310 take to the air!

Love your videos., can't wait to see what going on. Are there wall parts from this project??

Hey Jimmy, my dad has a 1977 Rockwell commander that has been sitting since 1994. I’m pretty sure he’s thinking about selling it, and maybe you’d like to take a look? Great video.

Been a long time since I have had anything to do with airplane’s- and I would rather not - but I really enjoy reminding myself of the frustrations involved in working on them Keep up the good work Jimmy doing good! J

I absolutely love this kind of work ...wish I were closer !! anyway love you guys ! keep up the great work !

Love the channel. My dad was an Alaskan Bush pilot, having learned to fly in Haines Alaska in the early 1960’s before I was born. Had a Taylorcraft at the time and flew it to Michigan and back among other things (that plane still exists in the Midwest. I looked up the numbers). He owned many planes over the years, but one I remember distinctly was his last plane, a wrecked Pietenpol. Evidently, if they are more than 50% wrecked, it’s called a ‘new’ home built. So, he had Pietenpol parts all over the place for a while. Rebuilt the wings, the tail, etc etc etc. and got it flying. Used it for years, but then lost his license due to heart problems, and passed away in 2008. Anyway, I tried and failed pilot ground school in high school, and never kept going but aviation is still in my heart for my dad. Who knows, some day might get involved in some ultralight aviation. Anyway, thanks so much for the fun channel! Gotta have a sense of humor to mess with expensive old airplanes (and boats) I think…

Where do you find the insanity to continue to do what you do? I am positive some of us go nuts watching you struggle!

As for your magic socket. It is well documented that a 10mm socket can easily accelerate to faster than light (FTL) speed however the physics behind such a phenomenon have varied widely. In your circumstances I do believe the socket entered a small vortex in the time space continuum causing the interference with your recording equipment reminiscent of a worm hole or other such anomaly. Further investigation required.

Awesome video Jimmy thank you Neal...

Jimmy…I love your videos. The older 310’s are one of my favorite airplanes….probably got hooked on them from watching the Sky King series when I was a young boy. I am a pilot, as my father was, and enjoying almost anything aviation. Buzz G.

Love them jimmy keep up the good work!

Jimmy, Keep up the GREAT videos!

Always interesting with a big dash of humour! I particularly enjoy the disclaimer at the start! Have you ever tried flying a sailplane?

Always entertaining. Thank you for the video.

Another super entertaining video. Thanks Jimmy!

Jimmy your content is great. I've never been on a plane in my life and am terrified of flying but I somehow I ended up on your channel and now I can't stop watching your videos. Love your sense of humour!

Hey Jimmy, that socket must have some wings of its own to end up where it did. Love the show, keep up the great work 👍 Richard

Hey Jimmy great videos brother!

Loving the videos Jimmy

Excellent stuff bro

Crap, did I miss the chance to engage with you Jimmy? Love the channel.

I just missed being one of your first comments by less than a half hour, my best yet. Go 310!!

Love the videos! ... you should get your floors coated haha 😄 makes finding parts a bit easier haha

Love the videos, thanks for the content!

I have to say that your channel is better than TV. I look forward to your new videos and to see that 310 in the air!!

I love your shows, man!

Thank you Neil! 🤣 Another great episode!

You are an inspiration to many! Keep up the great work.

Hello Jimmy, greetings from Brazil!!! Your videos are awesome!

Hey Jimmy! Love your videos! I’m a recent subscriber and I think I have already watched most of your videos. My dad flew gyros and I practically grew up at airports. I can almost smell the 100 octane aviation fuel while I’m watching these. And I love the hidden references to the “magic bullet” conspiracy from the Kennedy assassination and the missing 18 minutes from the Watergate tapes in this episode. Classic! Keep up the good work!

I love watching jimmys world

Large respect for you trying to save as many old basket case aircraft, I take my hat off to you.

Jimmy I really like the humor you add to your show while you are going broke lol. Great content.

Always look forward to your videos!

Jimmy love watching your videos there not only interesting but funny.

Love watching your videos

Love your videos keep up the good work

LOL! Viewing this video just after your 15 min! Love your methods and comantarry! Take care and wish we could meet you at Sun and Fun!

Another awesome video. You have re sparked my love for aviation.

Love watching your videos .....showing your age "Avon Calling" haven't heard that since the 70's. Would love to see you and Kelsey from 74 Gear get together and share a few stories. Keep plugging along Jimmy!

OMG the little office clip. WELLLLL DONE Jimbo

Wow Jimmy, the 310 is glowing white! Amazing detail job.

Another great video! It was good to see some mid week progress on the 310. Also your odd ball sense of humor is perfect and always gets me laughing. It is unfortunate that your that your "Zapruder" hangar camera did not capture the trajectory of the socket. You should have gone with the 8mm. One question though, did you check the grassy knoll?

Can’t wait to see the 310# fly! Keep up the great work 💪🏻👍🏻

Love the Plane and all the great videos you've made. I'm just curious who will be the TEST Pilot once everything is put back together? Amazing teamwork!!

Love ur content, wish I could come help rebuild the 310.. I'm free labor.. lol.. great job buddy..

Thank you Neil for your sacrifices.

Hilarious and fun, keep charging Jimmy!

I am a retired Master Army Aviator who lost his medical in 2012 after 17,000+ hours. Love your videos. Keep teaching those kids.
