72 year old commercial pilot here - - - whenever I miss flying - I break out this video and it all comes back to me - feel like I am right back in there again. Thanks so much for posting this - one of the best videos out there on RU-vid that illustrates the pure joy of just relaxing with your airplane on a beautiful day!!
Thank you for watching!! I need to make a copy of this video with my new plane. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZjT-QAGSDVs.htmlsi=7e4lxutlv8gTIW5Q
Back in 1970 I started flying gliders and the club used Super Cubs for tow planes. My dad was a club director and owned one of the Cubs, CF-KLL (modern registration is C-FKLL) which still flies in northern Ontario. My dad was a Lancaster pilot in WWII and had no issue with a tail-dragger lol. These videos are so awesome! Sideslips are a way of life for tow planes getting back down as quick as possible. I don't know about anyone else but I can smell the fabric and Lycoming exhaust. Thanks a million!
That looks super fun. I fly a Pitts so it is a different kind of fun. Looks like you can go visit lots of places in a super cub. I think I'll end up with something like that eventually. Early morning flight particularly beautiful.
Lovely flying, beautiful plane, location etc. Living an enviable life and giving folks like me some wonderful aspirations! Thank you for sharing. Regards from Sydney, Aust - Dave
Absolutely loved ur flying time...I would just love to go up in one of these beauties, (after having flight training), 😜😜 but no I loved seeing what you saw, and I never realised the smart little aircraft s could land on grass..!! Thanks again..😁😁👍👍👍👍
I have to agree with another commenter, never seen that many maintained grass strips, close together. Do all of those farms have airplanes. What I also like about this video, is not much chatter on the radio. Most of my flying was done in a Champ with no electrical system, now if someone lands in a remote grass field, they think they have to talk on the radio.
This is amazing! One of the best flight videos which I saw on youtube, because it just feels so real. Do you use a microfone for the sound or is it recorded by the GoPro?
Do you ever record your ATC audio? I love your videos! I'm currently taking lessons out of KCPS across from St. Louis. My end goal is to get my tailwheel endorsement and hopefully own a Super Cub down the road. If you're ever looking for a passenger for a morning cruise... ;)
I do - whenever you hear me talking to a passenger in the video, you can hear my radio transmissions. I do, however rarely talk to ATC. I avoid Imperial entanglements.
saw that at the end of the video when you were talking to those 2 people I saw two plugs on your left side, know one of those was for the mic you use to talk with the tower and other planes, but the other one said Phone, is that one for so you can actualy plug in your cell phone ands actually make telephone calls from the air????
Actually phone is headphone , and mic is microphone, headsets have two plugs , each different sizes - in general aviation. So the phone is to the ears- the headset - and the mic is what you talk into. Technically it is against FAA rules to place a cellular telephone call from the air. It confuses the cell towers with regards to signal, as it was explained to me.
5:08 Small brush fire, kinda hope that didnt get out of control, or was that actually one of those controlled burns just to get rid of possible some dead grass?
