Boy that brought back great memories of flying my Dad's new Maule M5 180C. I got a check ride at the factory with Ray Maule when we picked it up. Ray was a great instructor checked me out for short field in a actual hay field. Then a night flying check out at another airport with lights & him landing in complete darkness at Spence. Also my first plane was a Cessna 140. Thanks for the memories.
Awesome video ... well done! She was a beautiful plane and the 'retracing' flight for your UG Thesis must have been a Blast ... Congrats!. The last Maule I flew was in 1971 and the last single recip was around 1984 (then TP's, Lear's, Gulfstream's and Global's until retirement in 2019). I'm currently restoring a 1971 M-4-220 that I recently purchased and this video gives me positive energy and warm-fuzzies at the same time ... so Thanx! Subbed ... ^v^
