Thanks for watching Everyone! Looks like I've got some work ahead of me before we get this thing flying - nothing big, but right now getting some parts has a long lead time.

What drew you to planes and flying, Glen? Any good stories or philosophy? I'd love to hear about it in future episodes.

@scottbtraveling1444 2 года назад

I thought you said you were purchasing this aircraft for $20,000.00 was this correct? it seems awfully low priced for such a plane in such very good condition. ??

@GlenAndFriendsCooking 2 года назад

@@scottbtraveling1444 Yes $20,000 Canadian.

@scottbtraveling1444 2 года назад

@@GlenAndFriendsCooking Truly a amazing purchase! I actually enjoyed this entire video, every minute of it actually. I grew up on a private airstrip 35-WI / Barkers Airstrip, Wisconsin, My Father was a A&P mech. and I spent much of my youth from the early 1970's into the mid 80's working with my dad pulling inspection covers, cleaning parts, vacuuming cabins etc, bucking rivets etc. So for me your video was a great trip down memory lane. I was also very impressed by your A&E mech. and how he was so willing to have you present during the pre-purchase inspection, and how he explained everything to you as he did. I found it all very informative and interesting.

There is nothing more interesting to me than watching a competent craftsperson exercising their knowledge/skillset. What a fascinating insight into aviation maintenance. Huge kudos to your inspector for his patience and willingness to talk you (and us!) through the process. He needs his own channel! This was completely engrossing - thanks for the great long edit.

@danielmiddleton8173 2 года назад

My thoughts exactly.

Please don't shy away from long videos on this channel (at least from my perspective) ... this was a fascinating video, and awesome to see the inspection process in such detail.

It’s a pleasure to watch a professional at work. He’s an A&P mechanic that I certainly would trust to inspect and work on a plane of mine too.

@temaskell08 2 года назад

As a pilot and a budding home cook I’ve watched your cooking videos for a few years. I love that you have moved into aviation content and love the long video! Keep it up Glen! As someone that is looking in the future to buy a share this is super useful!

@KG-fu5ik Месяц назад

As an AMT that works on regional airliners in the US, I love looking at the simplicity of these older Cessnas. No hydraulics, No turbines, Not too many electrical wires to shoot when troubleshooting, and especially no Lav toilets to service or maintain 😂 These planes look like a dream to work on. I would switch to GA if the money was right.

@dwayneharris3874 2 года назад

It's amazing that you could buy a decent, flyable 172 for $20,000 CAD, when the price of a new 172 is $460,000 CAD. Well done! I never saw an AME doing a Cessna inspection before. There is a lot to inspect, but it is reassuring that the inspection is thorough.

@thecanadianavee8r660 4 месяца назад

Yeah i'll take my $25000 cad 172B and an ipad with foreflight thank you. Better useful load than a 172 SP anyway

@apfelsnutz 3 месяца назад

You never want to lose this A&P...specially if he's an IA. He is very knowledgeable and I say this after watching this only 15 or so minutes...beleive me I know...!

@Night56Owl 2 года назад

Buying an airplane is exciting and scary at the same time. But you’re doing it right. As a 40+ year professional pilot and Piper owner I just love this kind of stuff. Now, Glen - bring it down to Morristown NJ and I’ll treat you to a Hudson River flight followed by a nice Italian dinner - the only legal restaurants here are Italian! 😉

@lmfarms4611 Год назад

This is the kind of inspector we all need, competent, efficient and willing to share his knowledge.

@peterdoe2617 Год назад

I actually watched this from start to finish. Like all technical stuff is fascinating to me. Working on my own bikes, having worked for companies that build machines to produce tires, steam turbines, drying and moisturing surfaces from paper to steel for coating them. Planning on one day building new hifi-speakers.... So, yes: it was fascinating to watch this inspection!

@Drukendru 2 года назад

It's amazing how "simplistic" an airplane is, and basically just attaching an engine to a frame with some pulleys to fly! Very cool and amazing to see. Thanks for the inside look!

@TheOwenMajor 2 года назад

What's more amazing is how they can get away with charging $300,000+ for a new one.

I have no use for airplane knowledge in my life. I probably will never have that kind of use, as my life trajectory never has me ending up with this kind of disposable income, but dammit, I'mma nerd and I like your charisma. Long videos of nitty gritty details....I'mma gonna watch this and I'mma gonna watch all these!

I watched the entirety of this video and it was absolutely fascinating from multiple perspectives. The plane seems to be in phenomenal shape even though I know absolutely nothing about planes. The fact that it's that old, and everything internally looks that good is mind boggling, even with the knowledge that it had been refreshed at some point in its life. Congrats on the purchase Glen, can't wait to see more content on this!

Just before your AME started disassembling the plane, you said, “And so, uh... here we go... for... pullin’ it apart.” But I could tell what you were THINKING was, “I really, REALLY hope this plane passes inspection.” I LOVE subtext in a scene. But this was real life, which makes it even JUICIER!

I find it is interesting to see what my You Tube Friend’s do besides what I see on the main channel. I am a plane guy who got his A+P in the states and took flying lessons. I used my knowledge to restore classic cars and never did complete my flight lessons. Congrats.

@rick4665 2 года назад

Excellent channel Glen! This is what the internet should be, real insight and useful information without the clickbaiting or the fake reality tv drama. Keep it up!!! I just wish I could find as good a deal on an airplane. Also, while talking money might seem crass, it is very useful to know actual costs so thanks for that as well.

@spudski100 2 года назад

Oh how i love long YT videos!! short ones are ok but as somebody who watches a lot of YT videos it can feel a lot like A.D.D. TV (attention deficit disorder television!!) the longer the better for me and i'm not a flyer or tinkerer of things mechanical but if the subject matter is made interesting by nice people with a good personality, it could be an in depth talk about paint drying but id still watch it : ) THank you Glen for starting this journey and taking us along for the ride!!

@stephensaxon8768 2 года назад

Glen enjoy the journey! Just sold my 172D (N2754U) back in March after 20 years of ownership. O-360, Constant speed prop. & Bush STOL conversion amongst other goodies! Lots of great adventures & trips! Great that your getting your hands dirty, I did the same. Again enjoy this wonderful time of your life!!!

@tjs114 2 года назад

A side project for you Glen, put a lapel mic on that guy and have him go through a pre-purchase inspection on some other plane and you add some graphics to highlight what he's looking for and maybe throw an image of 'good' vs. 'bad' at the items in question. Your friend the AME gets an excellent promotional video for his work and you've got another side job to generate money for your airplane hobby. Or use your 9 hours of video and do that, but having him mic'ed would be best because he was putting an awful lot of great information out there, but it was very hard to hear/understand because he was just getting picked up by your area microphone. [And if you can document enough of the work like this, hey; it becomes a business expense- at least here in the States.]

@danielmiddleton8173 2 года назад

Chris is awesome. Great work with the GoPro regardless of obvious "pitter patter' challenges. It stands to reason a very thorough inspection, prebuy or preflight, is required as you're taking a metal box into the air; which in turn could fail and plummet to the earth at your or others detriment. Like the meat slicer ad, safety first.

Looks like she’s been hangar kept most of her life. I’m kind of in the camp of preserving such a find as is, as much as possible. I like the simple paint scheme.
