When you said that you feel blessed to be caretaker of Byron's plane, you described it perfectly. Each of us, really, is a caretaker of someone's "something." Perhaps it doesn't do marvelous aerial maneuvers; it may just be ourselves, fulfilling our mission in life. That is enough, though. We are all blessed, Jimmy, each of us. Thank you for sharing this great video!

@tburda823 2 года назад

My heart goes out to Byron. What a nice, awesome, talented guy. Life catching up with him and making the decision to let go of something very special to him. Although flying may be over for him, I hope he has at least a few more good years ahead.

@trouty7947 2 года назад

Considering how well he built and documented everything, that will last for decades after he's gone. I hope that gives him some comfort, that he'll be remembered as long that plane flies, and that plane will fly probably long than Jimmy will!

Bryon has many years ahead of him. My dad gave up flying and his IA duties at 93. My mother and him flew all over the country even to Fairbanks and the arctic circle (summertime).

The Old CFI says "The landing looked good.'" Don't forget, Sporty's has Piddle Packs! Back when I was a Puppy Pilot an old time WWII mech/Eastern Airline mech (who taught me more about flying and airplanes than any CFI I ever had) told me "It's much better to be on the ground wishing you were flying than to be flying and wishing you were on the ground." Good aeronautical decision making Jimmy. Houston ain't a bad place to be stuck as you found out.

As an old Coast Guard HU16E Albatross seaplane loadmaster rated Flight Mechanic it completely freaked me out seeing all that loose baggage bouncing around when you hit turbulence. Nothing will ruin your day like getting your head bonked by a piece of FOD that should have been secured properly. I gotta gig you 10 maybe 20 pushups for that. Of course, I'd be surprised if you could manage 5 pushups because you're so scrawny with stick pin arms. Just kiddin' I'm sure you could manage 8 with a bouncy ball under your belly.
