MoJo & Mindy Jo - Episode 5!
Come along as I fly my airplane back to my home grass strip. After a trip to Charleston (video coming soon!), we returned to the Atlanta area and our grass strip was too wet to land on. A couple of days later, it was dry enough to pick up our plane and bring it back home.

Thanks for the memories…my uncle owned a 182 with the exact same classic paint job - and I flew with him back then when that model was only a few years old. He was a CFI and one heck of a pilot. His home field was a 1200’ grass strip, and he made some very lively

OMG preflight startup brought back so many memories. Love the sound of the O-470 continental 6 cylinders. They all seem to have the cold start hiccups, our 59 182 was exactly the same way, sounds so good. That panel gets the memories of our old girls flooding back, I miss them so much. Smiling during the whole video, I couldn't help it. thank you for posting such a great video, I so miss flying, especially the older cessna's, they have a character all they're own, an experience apart from the newer planes. I felt like I was there, just reliving my earliest days of aviation. Very satisfying video, great plane, loved it.❤❤ Oddly enough our 56 172 with the O-300 sounded the exact same way the O-470 did.🤔

The old girl sounds amazing on startup, no wonder she brings a smile to your face👍 Your friend's 150 really is a gorgeous aircraft👌Awesome video once again, Mojo really is a stunner👌Cool tug, sure makes life easier!

Thanks for taking me along virtually in your beautiful 3802D. Nice landing. Brings back lots of memories learning in a 7ac champ on a 2200 ft grass strip here in Pa many years ago!🤗

A beautiful skyhawk, turquoise and black, highly polished. Grass strip,your own hanger and a best tug! Don't get no better than this.I enjoyed this video and much respect to you. Thanks Mojo!

I love that original paint scheme. My family's first airplane was the same 1957 model C182 in the yellow and black. Thanks for the memories.

Hi, what a beautiful Skylane. This airplane is awesome. I love it. What a treasure to find this one. Yes, I would keep the old radio also, even though this one got some weight I guess. 🤔 Maybe it’s a good idea to install a Garmin GI 275? It looks traditional and for IFR Flying it is a huge benefit. I agree, the rest should be traditional. Maybe the seats some day further. You live in Heaven. Old beautiful Skylane, private airstrip in a magnificent landscape, a Best Tug, how awesome is that??? Here in Europe no chance to live like that. Good luck to the plane and always happy landings. ☺️🙏👍🍀🙋‍♂️

@aaronthomas8834 2 года назад

I took my very first flight lessons in HS at Falcon Field. It’s changed a loooot. So has the destination airfield. There used to be an Aircraft Spruce and Specialty down the road a ways from your home field. I used to go there with my dad plenty. Good times.

@mattj65816 2 года назад

7:30 - 8:20, Skyhawk flaps its wings like a wounded duck down short final, makes a landing that registers on the Richter scale, doesn't respond to a request for spacing. Probably a student, scared out of his mind, not listening at all, transmitting reflexively out of pure rote. Those are the ones, all you can do is lay back and give 'em space. To me, one of the underappreciated aspects of GA is the importance of analyzing little cues to figure out who can be trusted to be a bit closer to you in the air and who you, maybe, want to get the heck away from as quickly as you can. :)

@alanex5225 2 года назад

Great and interesting video and I'll bet your really glad to have her home in a hangar. I think that's the best place for it when not flying. One famous guy flies a plane that got a bullet down through it while sitting outside. Nice place. Really cool to live with a hangar on property with private aircraft.

Would love to come over to you.what a dream to be able to come over to you I have to learn to fly first it might be a while yet.plus I would never find your air strip you would have to put some thing like some balloons on the gate way of your strip.take care nice little vlog. Try to keep making your vlogs it is always nice to see you and Kevin.take care and have fun phil. Happy flying mindy. Phil.

Mindy you will have to get Kevin and is mates to make you a runway out of plastic sheets the diameter of the plastic is 10mm think ideal if you can get some with some grip on them for the ice and rain. And make a nice gate way with lights. Philip is full of ideas take care and have fun phil.

RU-vid suggested this video to me because I've been playing around with Microsoft Flightsimulator for the last few months. My father used to have a PPL, so I had some contact with the aviation-scene as a child, but I only flew a glider myself when i was 14-16. I followed your flight on a map to recreate it myself in the simulator (of course I won't name the airfield and I live much too far away for a surprise visit anyway :-) Greetings from Bavaria/Germany. My home airfield is EDNB Arnbruck.

I think you’ve been cleared for the RU-vid algorithm! You were the top suggested video when I opened YT this morning! Cool plane! I remember the first time landing on a grass strip with my instructor I thought he was joking that we were going to land on the grass on purpose. 😜

@Schmiiindy 2 года назад

Haha, hey now that is great news for me! Thanks! Landing on grass seems scary to most until you do it once and realize it is easier than pavement :D

Looks like you might have a custom nose strut. Maybe some info on the strut extension in some STC info/manual. Those early model 182's have an unusually long strut. From your video it looks really close to normal to me. Beautiful 182.

@docholiday7758 2 года назад

On a busy day, I’ll sometimes taxi into position on the runway and hold for the plane that’s just landed to clear the active. But I only do this if the next plane in the pattern has not yet turned base. Downwind traffic can usually easily extend till after I begin my takeoff roll.

thanks for the new content to watch...it's nice to see pilots flying well and not editing out super important stuff..like checklists. One guy in particular claims he edits out the "boring" stuff but there sure are some long edits that would involve "boring" stuff that he doesnt do. Lots of new and prospective pilots watch these videos and it's pretty irresponsible to not show the "boring" stuff
