I Crashed The Abandoned Airplane... 

Abandoned for 20 years, Will it RUN? 1947 Bonanza V-Tail ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WB2-HV6kAh4.html

Jimmy. The best flying advice my Dad gave me was this; 'There are old pilots and bold pilots but very few old, bold pilots.' Be an old pilot, Jimmy. Don't take chances. Take every known precaution. If the brakes aren't working, don't rely just on chocks. Bind that airframe to the ground with cables. You avoided a disaster by pure 'God watching over you' luck.

Jimmy your such a positive person and I’m sure a blast to be around so glad no one was hurt with the mishap. When you said a little pee came out I almost fell out of my chair laughing. When I worked for Grummans in St. Augustine, FL we had fun like you guys do and it brought back memories and I’m a little before Motley Crue also.

it's okay, I'm sure you'll make this plane perfect, or we'll find another abandoned plane for you

The whole family loves your channel and can't wait for the next update. Hope to see Dr. Phil back in business soon as well.

You are definitely growing in popularity! I even saw Hoovie (Hoovies Garage) say " clear prop" on today's episode (MR2 in a tornado)!

Hi Jimmy. Love your videos and thank you for posting. You always remind me that my addiction to power boats is relatively "budget friendly". I'm pretty sure my propellers cost less than yours. Stay safe buddy.

Hi Jimmy, as an early 310 owner of long standing (36 years cumulative so far) I hearty recommend the Cleveland wheel and brake conversion, far more effective and reliable than the Bendix brakes which were original equipment. BTW, early 310s have some characteristics which are quite different from other twins, especially when compared to a docile plane like an Apache. I strongly recommend getting a thorough checkout in one with an instructor who has extensive early 310 experience. Please email me if you would like a few tips. Looking forward to seeing the new, improved 310!

Currently watching this at the EAA museum in Oshkosh! Looking forward to seeing you and the 310!

Never a dull moment in Jimmy's World! Glad to know everything is OK. Except maybe your shorts.

Awesome stuff, thank god no one was hurt in the little hiccup! Keep them cameras rolling!!!

Glad to see your still alive. After seeing the aftermath I could only think about is when an F-14 had a deck strike on the USS. Harry S Truman about 20 years ago. I just happened to be on deck about 20 feet away and a lot of pee came out that day also. Stay safe .

I wish you all the luck in the world Jimmy. You and are your team are doing a brilliant job. Paddy from Ireland.

Keep on the great content. Love it all. Can’t wait for the next upload already 👌🏻

Hey jimmy love your channel! I’m a trucker and kills a lot of time when I’m sitting waiting to load or unload. Be careful and keep up the good work!

Another great video by another great youtuber! I get so excited when my notifications say Jimmy loaded a video 😁

Love the vids Jimmy! Might be time for some in-ground tie-down anchors in your driveway there! Glad everything is ok! 😀👍

I knew you would be winning that foot race, great job. Cheers from Jacksonville Florida 🌞

I found your channel not too long ago, I don't even like airplanes, but I love your sense of humor. Then I realized I'd seen you before but it just didn't register at the time. Until the first of June, I recognized you at church. Isn't your name James? lol

You got the Scotland flag up. Well done my man. Good going on the 310. Looking forward to seeing you get out there and fly the other one back

A Good Name for Plane is " Dream Chaser" cause that is what you're doing is Chasing Your Dreams. You give everyone hope Jimmy. You Teach viewers no what your Dream May Be you can do it. It takes alot of Hard Work but it can be accomplished. That's what I love about your Channel. I Love seeing the child come out in you when a Plane gets you really excited. You're just awesome. May God Bless You and Your Beautiful Family and Your Viewers. We appreciate what you do Jimmy. And God Bless your Helpers. They are Pretty Cool also

We want more "will it start" videos! I think those are your best performing videos and they are what got me hooked on the channel!

You guys who are going to fly your new 310's to Oshkosh this year take one step forward. Cool your heels, Jimmy.

Way to go Jimmy! Congrats on you multi! Good luck and keep the videos coming. CLEAR PROP! Red

Jimmy, love the video's then I see you came to my town and went flying at my airport and then stayed at the Hampton Inn down the street from my house! How did you like Illinois? LOL That's rhetorical! It would be cool to know next time your up this way!!! Keep up the great work!!!

Thanks for the reply. Did the check ride you just did last week is that on RU-vid. By the way appreciate you saying you didn’t pass the first time I think most of us can say that. Especially in that plane. Love your stuff

Another entertaining video. As one of many Sim Pilot's following your journey I'd like to know what grass airport that's in this video and the other airport where most of your planes are stored. Thank-you

I enjoy your content Jimmy. Stand back everyone and Clear Prop.

I am glad no one, nor property, was injured or damaged, but the level of incompetence shown in this one video is astounding. A 2x4 board does not constitute a chock. Cheap plastic chocks are also inappropriate for an aircraft of this size and power. Then there is the admitted fact that the brakes do not work. For a supposed certificated aircraft mechanic to allow a run-up to take place in this manner is inexcusable. I just hope no one dies in this little adventure of yours.

Glad that the weather is good over there as it's freezing over here in Victoria Australia 🇦🇺 I'm meant to be flying cross country Monday but I don't think the weather is going to be very good. But fly safe and hello from Australia 🇦🇺

I am no longer frustrated at having to spend money on a couple of lawn tractors so I can guarantee them knowing I'll get low balled anyways. Thanks for brightening my day Jimmy from the Live Free or Die state.

Great work Sparkeys world keep up the great work

When I was in school a student jumped the chalks running up a Beaver with an R-985 radial engine. The student panicked and shut it down from high rpm by cutting the mags off. The sound of it backfiring to a stop was impressive, even though I was several hundred feet away inside a building.

Great video showing telling and all most crashing , yes close call keep on flying jimmy do it to it great video see ya next time see ya bye.

Jimmy...I saw you sweating bullets there for a minute...I felt it to...glad no damage to anything or anyone....be safe...I'm a hang 5 glider guy

I know that scared the crap out of you.im glad your okay and everything around you is okay. Your son takes awesome video and i see him following your foot steps. You done good

Thank you for your dedication to your viewers.

Good luck jimmy looking forward to seeing more videos, ever thought of auctioning off parts of Mighty mouse that are not going to be used to help fund the 310. Maybe a raffle of some sort just an idea.

Never point an aircraft at something you like when starting it.

Jimmy you are a hard working guy, hats off.

Love your Videos keep up the good work up Jimmy and if need a pilot to fly the plane down Oshkosh let me know because by the end of June I should have my Multi-Engine Certification

That's why I bought heavy duty rubber chocks for semi trucks.. it my seem nice to have a light weight chock that you can pull out, but it will blow away or fall apart in a matter of time.

So is your new company going to be aircraft salvage? You’re already doing it! Love the videos!

Cant wait to see this thing flying! Keep it up!

Super happy that everyone is safe, just keep going, after all what could go wrong ??

You guys are great man, I just love Jimmy and Gizzly.

@10:04 - 2 gallons of fuel in each tank. That is now the most expensive part on the airplane.

Love your videos! Funny and educational. I was flying my mom on a short flight to look at a airplane yesterday. Long story short, there was a landing malfunction and we slid hard left with no right rudder control. I’m completely sick to my stomach about it. We are fine but sore. I’m just waiting to hear back how much it will cost to fix… and what the insurance says. I pray it can be fixed. The major damage was the prop and front nose. 😭Anyway, I’m still looking for a bigger plane anyway, just not how I thought this would happen. At least your videos make laugh. 😅

OMG!, Jimmy, I'm so happy that God had you on that one!

I'm now praying for REVEREND JIMMY. May the Airworthiness Gawds bless you.

You have the best aviation videos on the webb in my opinion.

Question - are you going to do the exhaust STC to reroute to the bottom? I think it's well worth it. I had it on my 310C. Saved all kinds of headache with spar corrosion. Thanks for posting all the videos. It's a lot of fun to watch!

Brilliant episode jimmy’s world i absolutely loved it

15:20 sounds like your gonna have to re-detail the inside of your shorts too!! 🤣🤣🤣👍🏻💪🏼 Glad everyone is safe!!!🙏🏻👍🏻

Let’s go ! Can’t wait to see the final rendition!

5:54 Jimmy should have said this isn't Lost Lands 🤣🤣🤣 I gotcha buddy, it's called headbanging

We are going to need people like Jimmy to rebuild this world when the dust settles.

BIG J. YOU ARE AWESOME BROTHER. YOU DO WHAT YOU CAN THE BEST YOU CAN. GOD BLESS.

Oooo Oooo I’m back in JIMMY’S WORLD! Just starting to watch the video. Hope I can hold my breath till the end!

Keep up the fantastic work Jimmy, side note please don’t let our UK Union Jack get more frayed at the bottom, we can see it starting to fall apart.

Love your channel! Do you own the other airplanes in that hanger?

Hey Jimmy, these old wires are making funny colors in you next campfire.. Don’t throw away next time 😉

Awesome to see the team back at work on mighty mouse. Could you put the same paint job on the new 310?

Thanks for another great video Jimmy. It was interesting and enjoyable for sure. Wow. You were really lucky when those plastic chocks broke. Wow. Almost had that glider wing and that car on the far side. So glad it got stopped in time. Lesson learned. Throw the plastic away. Nothing like a good old wood chock. Glad no one or nothing was hurt or damaged. Looks like your list of things to replace or upgrade on the 310 is growing. Pushing hard for the air show date i know. Keep at it crew. Trust the plane you are getting for a donor plane will work out. Kind of shaky flying it back?????????? Will that work???? You be careful jimmy. Exciting video for sure. Wow. All for now I guess. You all take care and be safe. Looking forward to the next video. Thanks for everything Jimmy. Retired Air Force veteran. Steve.

On the bright side, it doesn't smell like mice anymore.

Old English expression for times when **** hits the fan. "First you SAY it... then you DO it!!" Old ARMY expression. 'CLOSE... only counts in Horsehoes... and hand grenades!!' Glad you and the 310 didn't get bent! =)

Wow! Engine turns in such a confined space? Installing some pad eyes might be a good idea. At least some large wooden chalk's.

Well if you're using a whole new airframe and just swapping some parts over from the "original" 310, wouldn't it be Save A 310?

good stuff jimmy and OMG the plastic wheel chocks braking that could of been a whole lot worst ... BUT A BIG THUMBS UP 👍

That 310 is a troublesome PoS….amazing you are still persisting with it

Hope you are having a blessed day! Also hope you have a blessed and wonderful weekend!

#getthe310!! 😂 best of luck to you And the crew jimmy.

I can NOT wait to see your up coming videos omg

Just another day aviating! 🤣 Glad all are ok though!

Good job Jimmy, Save The 310.

You know there is something called a concrete anchor that you can bolt a shackle to in order to attach a heavy cable or chain to the tail fuselage, never rely on chocks.

Cool to watch all your videos and the 310 progress.

count your blessing no one hurt damage sure ..careful Jimmy

yeah that had to be a terrifying handful of seconds for a lot of different reasons, glad it turned out okay!

Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy! Chock failure! What could possibly go wrong? “Can I get a clear prop!”

When you opened up with "good news" it reminded me of the professor from Futurama.

That is cool I like the idea of saving the 310 I like the graphics on the tail. Yeah sometimes it can be a pain to put new gaskets on valve covers but you will get er done. It saves a lot of presious exspensive oil! LOL😃

How many viewers want to see Jimmy slow down, focus on one project plane, and go over it with a fine tooth comb before even thinking about flying it?

Awesome video Jimmy.

The larger diameter plugs are Hi altitude spark plugs. The distributor in the mag is also a larger diameter. With Hi altitude, less pressure, easier for the spark to jump a larger gap.

Cessna 310 is a very decent aircraft. Please-please redo-redo immediate procedures in the event of an engine stall and subsequent yaw. Please.

Hey Jimmy, Be extra careful with the landing gear fittings. Recently there has already been two "left" landing gear failures( one of those when I was flying) in South Africa... They both were C310-Q. All the best man. Keep up with the work

Jim !!!! Brother ya gave me a heart attack !!!!! Lol 😂 Then I watched it….. that was way to close man ….

Sooo, the 310 tha flies will be the "donor" to the 310 that hasn't flown in 40 years? Man! Better you than me.

I can’t find the last episode where you got the Apache check out. Got dad hooked on the RU-vid now he’s ex navy then 45 plus commercial . The Apache was my first twin that I flew.

I wish you the best but can’t help but remember that SNF was only about a 7 mi trip and OSH is just a tad further. Be safe.

on this ep i just can say, you need to start tying the plane instead of that wheel brakes xD

What's up Jimmy? I am on the east coast of FL and my airplane is hangared at Ormond Beach KOMN. Let me know next time you are up this way, or if you need anything. I am always looking for a reason to fly. ;)

I love these videos and your enthusiasm but I'm calling it here and now and I'm saying it's not going to Oshkosh. There is just so much that needs doing. Although I respect you guys I just can't believe it will be done. I hope you do and want nothing more than to be proved wrong but there are many parts and any one can hold you up. Good luck.

Hay ya Jimmy you're gonna need to go to the nearest truck stop and get several of the big hard rubber truck chocks and make up some new sets of airplane chocks!!!!

Your son is funny I heard him. HIDE THE EVIDENCE! 🤣😂

Well done testing those chocks properly

As you discovered...NEVER, EVER run up an airplane for an extended period without tying it down.

There are not enough airplanes in that hanger where you keep the 310... I can see some empty spots nowhere. 🤣

Enjoying your aero adventures. Thanks a lot but what happened to the Welsh flag you had alongside the Irish & Scots one?
