They are a perfect family airplane. My first 170 was an A model and flew it for five years and then my instructor called me and said he was selling the B model he had and the one I got my license in. Flew that for eleven years and moved into a 180. Several times I had four adults and full gas and got her off a sod field. Flew my family to southern Il. many times from the Chicago area. The 180 was like flying a Mack truck after the 170s.

Wow, I bet you have a lot of great memories in the A and B models!

Thanks for sharing your family (which includes the 170)! It sounds like a family heirloom in the making. I'll miss you on the weekly videos, but I'm sure you'll enjoy the next chapter just as much or more.

Thank you :)

Thanks for sharing! Great looking family. Hope the kids take up flying, too.

@alyssacobb3432 22 дня назад

Thanks! Our son is already asking when he can fly it, so I think the bug has bitten him!

Headed up to Canada at the end of the month to spend some time flying the 170 with my dad. I was hoping your retirement would not mean the end of seeing more great flying content from you. Always time well spent.

@alyssacobb3432 22 дня назад

Thanks! Enjoy your trip and flying with your dad!

Our family Aeronca Sedan was my grandfather's. My uncles flew it, now by brother and i get to fly it. Pretty cool to take my daughter up in the same plane i got to.

@alyssacobb3432 22 дня назад

That's awesome! I am glad the Aeronca has stayed in your family for so long!

Great video, thanks for sharing! Great looking airplane and family. Fun times ahead for you. Did the same for my tail number. My wife and I were married in April of 1971. N471LJ

Glad you enjoyed it. Nice to know we aren't the only ones who made our wedding date our N-number!

Great Video . Hope to see you at Airventure again this year . I want be flying my 170 this year. It’s to slow to fly from Texas.

@alyssacobb3432 22 дня назад

Hi! I'm not sure if we will make it to AirVenture this year, but I hope to bump into you again sometime!

Great video… the 170 is a great family plane while kids are small. Small correction… Straight 170’s and 170 A’s have plain flaps and 170 B’s have Fowler flaps.

@alyssacobb3432 22 дня назад

You are right, thank you for catching that!

Sweet

@alyssacobb3432 22 дня назад

Thanks :)

growing up my dad was going through lessons on this, now it costs more than my house for a used one 🤷‍♂️

@alyssacobb3432 22 дня назад

Airplane prices have definitely increased.

Isn't a tail dragger a bit hard to handle for the typical pilot?

@alyssacobb3432 21 день назад

Taildraggers are more difficult to handle on the ground than tricycle gear aircraft. However you can get an endorsement to fly tailwheel aircraft from an instructor. It does not require a separate certificate or rating, just some specialized training and the instructor’s signature.
